Chapter 129 Disputes

Fang Yuan had been under the impression that the primeval stone mines were all controlled by the sect’s forces.

After all, no matter how powerful a secular family was, it couldn’t possibly be better than a force like the sect, right? However, this sentence directly refreshed his understanding Wan Qian saw the surprise in his eyes and explained. “The primeval stone mine my family owns is only a small-scale vein. Its output is limited in a year, and it can’t be compared to the sect’s or the empire’s.”

Even so, Fang Yuan still looked at the Wan clan in a new light.

“It’s already very powerful, but logically speaking, with your family’s financial strength, you should have absorbed many experts to protect you. How are they unable to even protect a mine?”

Hearing this, Wan Qian’s eyes flickered and she said softly.

“The one occupying my mine is the capital’s Zhang clan.”

“The Zhang clan?” Fang Yuan pondered for a moment. “Zhang Wenbin’s Zhang clan?”“That’s right…”

Wan Qian’s eyes were dark as she continued, “Other than the Zhang clan, there’s also the Chen clan in the east of the city and the Li clan in the west of the city. They’re all families that used to be close to our Wan clan…”“When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. When the benefits are at hand, they naturally won’t let it go.”

Fang Yuan shook his head. “Senior, what do you plan to do next? Take back the family business?”

“I can’t take it back.” Wan Qian saw through it. “I’m alone. So what if I took the inheritance pill? I’m only at the fifth layer of the Enlightenment Realm.” “I’ll help you.”

“No need.”

“Senior, you still don’t treat me as one of your own.”

“I don’t.”

Wan Qian suddenly raised her head. “I just don’t want anything to happen to you.”

Fang Yuan was stunned. This was the first time Wan Qian had revealed her true feelings. Wan Qian leaned on his shoulder again, slowly saying, “Right now, I only want to protect this house and let my mother have a place to stay, but unfortunately, they will not let me do as I wish.”

“If you don’t deal with the roots, they will grow again come spring.”

Fang Yuan also knew the reason. Those clans that occupied the Wan clan’s property would not allow a talented Gu master like Wan Qian to grow.

Otherwise, they would not be able to sleep soundly in the future.

“Senior, why not take Auntie and leave the capital, go to Yunding City? I can send a letter to my father, asking him to find a quiet place for her to recuperate,” he suggested. “Can you?”

Wan Qian was moved, but looking at her own courtyard, she was still reluctant. “Father’s corpse is nowhere to be found, this is the last thing he left behind.” “It is not too late to take revenge after ten years,” Fang Yuan said seriously. “I believe that with your talent, in the near future, you will be able to kill your way back to the capital and take back everything that belongs to the Wan clan.”

“Junior…”

Wan Qian looked deeply into his eyes. Her red lips moved slightly, and she slowly closed her eyes.

no

Fang Yuan immediately became nervous and swallowed a small mouthful of saliva.

If he wasn’t mistaken, there’s a saying that if a girl closes her eyes, she is waiting for you to kiss her.

Should he…

Meanwhile, the Zhang clan.

In the main seat of the main hall, a middle-aged man sat sullenly, his eyes fixed on the gate, as if waiting for something.

He is the head of the Zhang clan, Zhang Huan.

A moment later, a servant came forward to report.

“Clan head, most of the Wan clan’s businesses have been taken over, there are no obstructions.”

“Where is that girl from the Wan Clan? What is she doing?” Zhang Huan asked. “Wan Qian is paying her respects to her deceased father, but not long ago, someone from the Gu Immortal Sect went over, it should be because of the Gu Dao convention.”

“Looks like she does not want to keep those businesses.” Zhang Huan’s fingers moved lightly, knocking on the table, making a dull sound.

The servant observed his expression and asked, “Clan head, should we send someone…”

He made a hand gesture slitting his throat. “There’s no rush.”

Zhang Huan leaned on the chair, closing his eyes. “We’ll wait until the Gu Dao convention is over and the Gu Immortal Sect people leave. There are too many people in the city. If we act rashly, there might be more trouble.”

“Clan head is wise!”

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the courtyard, the first guardian pushed open the door and entered.

“First guardian, you’re back, good work out there!”

Zhang Huan stood up, he went forward to welcome him. “Did you gain anything from this trip?”

“I did not fail my mission!” The first guardian cupped his fists.

“Good! Good!”

Zhang Huan’s gaze was fierce. “Who is the murderer of my son?”

“The Gu Immortal Sect has already sent out an announcement saying that Young Master died at the hands of a traitor from the Gu Demon Sect.”

“Hmph! What nonsense!”

Zhang Huan said angrily, “The Gu Immortal Sect is only using this opportunity to seize the initiative to fight for Yong An Hall. If the Gu Demon Sect really murdered my son, why are they cooperating with us?” “Clan head, there’s no hurry, I will explain one by one.”

“Sit! Someone, serve tea!”

“Thank you.”

After the first guardian sat down, he took a sip of tea and breathed a sigh of relief. “I had limited information in Fanshu City, I could only use some methods to find a Gu Immortal Sect disciple and pry some information out of him.”

Zhang Huan clenched his fists. “But Bin’er has a grudge with someone in the sect?”

The first guardian continued, “That’s right.”

“Young Master once had a life-and-death battle with a disciple called Fang Yuan because he was too close to Wan Qian.”

“However, due to the sect’s rules, he gave the other party a month to improve. During this period of time, Young Master was ordered by you to travel around the Gu Demon Sect’s territory. You know that.”

Zhang Huan already had a guess in his heart. He gritted his teeth. “Raising a tiger is a disaster! Bin’er, why didn’t you send the news back and let me handle it on your behalf!”

The first guardian sighed. “Perhaps Young Master did not want to worry you, clan head. After all, at that time, this Fang Yuan had not even reached the Enlightenment Realm.”

“What happened after that?” Zhang Huan took a deep breath.

“Combined with the information I found in the Fanshu City, that Fang Yuan became Gu Zhenren’s personal disciple through the outer sect competition and went out to train. A month later, when the date of the battle was close, they met in the city.”

At this point, the first guardian frowned. “However, the two of them did not interact much. Fang Yuan stayed in the vice city lord’s residence and was quite a distance away from the inn where Young Master was staying. There was also a person called Li Tongzhou who was familiar with Fang Yuan and frequently went to and from both places. However, they did not find him and could not ask him anything, so they were unable to determine if it was possible that Fang Yuan committed the murder.”

“Possible? Hmph! It was him who did it!”

Zhang Huan was so furious that he could not control himself. “Binler’s actions in Fanshu City went smoothly, there was also someone from the Gu Demon Sect protecting him in secret. There can be no mistake, if it was not for him, Bin’er would not have met with such a disaster.”At this time, a Gu worm flew over from the sky and landed on the servant’s shoulder.

He threw it into his acupoints, and after a while, he cupped his fists. “Clan head, there is news from our spies infiltrating the Wan clan. Wan Qian and the Gu Immortal Sect disciples are heading towards Green Bamboo Garden outside the city, it seems that they are having a meal there.”

“Green Bamboo Garden…”

Zhang Huan’s eyes brightened. “This is a good opportunity!”

Saying so, he turned to look at the first guardian. “First guardian! Please attack together with the second and third guardian, find an opportunity to kill Fang Yuan on the spot!”

“This…” the first guardian hesitated. “The murderer has not been confirmed, and he is Gu Zhenren’s direct disciple, I am afraid…”

“I’d rather kill the wrong person than let him

go!”

Zhang Huan’s rationality was swallowed by the hatred. “Don’t worry, I will not mistreat the three of you on this trip. I will split ten percent of the Wan clan’s vein with you!”

The first guardian was overjoyed. “Don’t worry, clan head, we will definitely bring this child’s head back to console Young Master’s spirit in heaven!”
