Chapter 65: You were saying?

After settling the Shadow guard, he made it return to {Iron Crow City} immediately without stop, before heading towards the Main hall.

As he moved, he thought about the Jade spirit stone and the Jade spirit python, 'These are excellent cultivation resources, especially the spirit stone.

The shadow guard is already returning, should take a day on horse back. But if I'm unable to find any horse, it would definitely take longer.

I should probably make it take some detours because of Hou Dualan, there's also that puppet fellow and the lady...

I'm not surprised that the secret realm isn't opening immediately but... Haaa, let's just forget it for now and focus on the faction gathering tomorrow'.

'the resources gotten from Qin Nan on the other hand, are of great use to the Qi gathering realm and foundation establishment realm, right there are a few resources that are also available to the Auroras Core realm, as well as some scattered things that can be exchanged for Spirit Stones, there are quite a few.

This should be enough to raise the clan's overall strength, Gu Lan Tian, should be the next focus...

Once I get him to the Nascent soul realm, we'll establish ourselves further here and...

There's also that place that attracted the Zhao clan's attention alongside others.

I'll raise our strength enough to hold our own city, just like the other big clans.

With the Xu clan's martial arts and resources, the cultivation of the Gu family's martial can be said to have already ascended by another level!

All this, now counts as the family's heritage within the clan interface'.

While thinking, He looked at Gu Wei Fan, who happened to be walking a few steps behind him.

'after everything stabilizes, I'll have Yu Xing focus on recruiting more elites, maybe I'll work on filling the ranks of this Dharma warriors that the system keeps notifying me about.

Hmm...6 slots in total, what kind of effect does it bring?.

There's the formation for team practice and the so called counter quests, luckily no one has triggered that yet, maybe because the players are still weak...'.

His thoughts kept on churning until Gu Wei Fan's voice brought back his attention, "Lord Patriarch has arrived!!!"

"Greetings Master Gu!" Chang Ye and Jan's voice echoed almost immediately, a lady stood up next to them and bowed slightly in greeting.

She was neither humble nor arrogant in her actions but Her guards on the other hand were as motionless as a wooden pole, their expression was arrogant.

Beside this group was the nervous patriarch of the Golden horse merchant group and another elderly looking man.

Everything in the hall were within Gu Lin Fang's view, Gu Ji Hung was not far behind in greeting either.

'Foundation building guards and two Auroras cores dare to be arrogant?' This attracted the red eyed demon's attention, 'that can only mean two things, they come from a prestigious place and are already used to being this arrogant or there's someone even more powerful hiding behind the scenes.

I'll have to go with the former, since I can't sense anyone else, but Let's observe for now'.

He responded casually before moving his legs to the main seat. While he had been observing them, they had been doing the same.

When Gu Lin Fang was approaching them with Wei Fan, they were not able to feel anything until Wei Fan shouted.

Now upon noticing his presence, they felt a strong sense of oppression. This was because Gu Lin Fang's reputation which was about to breakthrough to the silver rank, his life value was on the verge of changing but the aboriginals wouldn't understand it in such terms.

Everyone else sat down after Gu Lin Fang gestured with his hands, he then proceeded to break the silence by asking a question, "Young Master Chang Ye, I believe I asked your Changfeng Merchant House for an explanation...I hope that is what brought you over".

"Of course Master Gu!, Words can't begin to express how distressed I was due to this incident, I've been working on getting to the root of the attack but that doesn't change the fact that we have disappointed you" Chang Ye's voice was low, he created an image of being sincerely sorry as he gestured for Jan to pass the box he was carrying to Wei Fan.

The latter didn't move but looked at Gu Lin Fang for permission, the Red eyed Patriarch nodded silently and could almost guess what was going on.

'this little sh*t must have a request or something' He looked at Chang Ye and then the young lady next to him.

Wei Fan quickly opened the box after collecting it, He brought it to Gu Lin Fang.

"What is this?" He asked.

Chang Ye cleared his throat and said, "A land deed for a location at the Commercial district, I hope that Master Gu would forgive us of our sin".

Gu Lin Fang opens the scroll calmly as he began thinking about exploiting them further, but his pupils dilated upon reading through the details,

'this is enough space to build a Mega Mall!!, Was there this much space in the commercial district?!!'.

[Ding!]

[Villain's fortune has been triggered]

'Gold?' Gu Lin Fang's eyes flashed lightly as he looked at the Chubby teen before him, 'Changfeng merchant group has such resource in this city?, I doubt it... it probably has something to do with this lady... who's she?'.

He rolled up the deed casually before placing it in the box Wei Fan was holding, before deciding not to mention the {Blue heart flower} he had placed for auction yet.

"I have seen your sincerity, but..." His eyes trailed towards the veiled lady while speaking.

Chang Ye seemed to have remembered something before saying, "ah! Yes...this is Miss Long Su Lin"

"Long Su...as in the Long clan?!" Gu Lin Fang asked subconsciously and the veiled lady nodded silently as she adjusted on her seat.

Long Su Lin tried putting up a humble position but it was obvious she wasn't used to it, "Senior, Forgive this little for not speaking until now... but I felt you had to settle that matter before I say anything".

"Don't worry about it, So, to what do I owe this visit?"

"You!" A guard had just attempted to speak suddenly but Immediately an unspeakable pressure pressed down on all the guards as they were forced to their knees. They all coughed blood at once...

There was no movement from Gu Lin Fang besides looking at the guard that spoke, everyone else felt nothing but were shocked by the sight, even the Golden horse merchant group Patriarch that had been treated like air since the beginning paled immediately.

Honestly, this was something that Gu Lin Fang had been aiming for since the beginning. When he found out the lady's identity, he responded casually in order to agitate the arrogant looking guards and then seized the chance to exercise his dominance in his domain.

In the courtyard outside the hall, some small heads hid around, sneakily peeking into the hall.

Gu Lin Fang acted as though nothing happened and said, "you were saying?".

'if you want to make a request, act like one, that way I can ask for enough compensation!'
