“Isn’t

. isn’t this too high-profile:

“Hahaha, it’s better to be high-profile, then there will be less trouble.”

“Since that’s the case… Then I’ll have to trouble Vice City Lord Xu.”

“It’s no trouble, no trouble at all.”

Following that, Vice City Lord Xu happily went to handle the relevant matters.

He had helped manage Fanshu City for many years, so he was an expert in this area. He did not even need Fang Yuan’s help to get things done.

After all, being ranked eighty-seventh on the Prodigy Roll was enough to be popular.

Soon, the Gu masters in Yan Shen Empire would more or less hear about Fang Yuan’s name and achievement.

Speaking of which, there were pros and cons to this matter.

Fang Yuan was very clear about the principle of a tall tree attracting the wind.

But he also knew that with his strength, he would make a name for himself in Yan Shen Empire sooner or later.

Right now, he was only allowing this day to arrive earlier, and he could also solve Xu Manor’s problems. It could be considered as taking advantage of the situation.

Not long after Vice City Lord Xu left, the Xu Manor’s butler brought two boxes over with his servants and placed them in front of Fang Yuan.

The butler smiled and cupped his hands, saying, “Guardian Fang, this is what the old master asked us to deliver to you, he also instructed you to accept it, here.”

Fang Yuan looked at them, they were all cultivation resources, and among them were some precious Gu refinement materials. Their total value was at least 150,000 primeval stones.

He knew that this was the reward for helping Vice City Lord Xu, and since he was short of money, he did not stand on ceremony and kept them.

“Tl be going into closed-door cultivation for a period of time. I’ll have to trouble you to ask the servants not to send food over for the next few days.”

“Understood, Guardian Fang. Ina moment, I will notify everyone in the manor not to go near your courtyard.” The butler’s face was stem as he hurriedly responded.

Fang Yuan nodded slightly, then returned to his place and began to study the method of blood refinement.

At the same time, in the main hall of the Zhang clan’s courtyard in the capital.

A middle-aged man with an outstanding temperament sat upright on the main seat, gently sipping hot tea as he listened to a few stewards report the income of their businesses in various parts of the Yan Shen Empire.

suddenly, his wrist shook, and the teacup fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

The stewards hurriedly asked with concern.

“Clan head, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I just feel a little uneasy.”

‘The middle-aged man slowly shook his head. “How is it going at Bin’er’s end?”

“Young Master sent news yesterday, everything is proceeding according to plan.”

“That’s good…”

Before he finished speaking, a group of people suddenly barged in.

‘The middle-aged man frowned slightly. “Head guardian and second guardian? Why are you here?”

The head guardian sighed. “Clan head, something happened, Young Master’s Soul Gu is dead!”

“What!”

The middle-aged man stood up. “How is this possible! Who did it!”

The Soul Gu was a Gu worm that was bound to the fate of a Gu master. If the host dies, the Gu worm would also die.

Normally, the disciples of large clans would use it so that it would be known if they were assassinated.

The head guardian’s gaze tumed to the attendant beside him.

The attendant immediately replied with a trembling voice. “Just now, the servants in the manor went to the hall of souls to clean up as usual, but the Soul Gu suddenly exploded. I’ve asked a few guardians to take a look. Young Master died from self-detonation of his acupoints near Fanshu City.”

The middle-aged man’s figure trembled, feeling the world dim by a few degrees, and he almost passed out.

The head guardian quickly took action, using spirit essence to prevent him from fainting, “Clan head, I am sorry for your loss.”

The second guardian asked, “Clan head, Young Master’s accidental death is probably related to the Gu Demon Sect, should we send a letter to them?”

‘The middle-aged man could not speak for a long time. His heart was filled with grief.

The third guardian interrupted.

“Young Master is a disciple of the Gu Immortal Sect, if we ask the Gu Demon Sect for an explanation, they might not even bother with us. If we cause a huge commotion, everyone would know that our Zhang clan is colluding with the Gu Demon Sect. If that happens, the Gu Immortal Sect will come

looking for us.”

The head guardian shook his head when he heard this.

“The Gu Demon Sect had an agreement with us, so they shouldn’t do something self-destructive like this. If we do not look for them, do we have to ask the Gu Immortal Sect to investigate?”

“Young Master was operating at Yong An Hall, and he was acting under the Gu Immortal Sect’s nose. We cannot afford to let him be investigated.”

“If they get involved and find out the truth, our Zhang clan will suffer too!”

The third guardian did not give in. “Young Master is the personal disciple of the Fourth Elder of the Gu Immortal Sect. With such a status, do you think the Gu Immortal Sect will not get involved even if we do not request for an investigation?”

“Third guardian, you have to understand, Young Master was in Fanshu City to guard Yong An Hall, and his death is a reason for the Gu Immortal Sect to go against the Gu Demon Sect.”

The first guardian’s voice rose. “The Gu Immortal Sect will definitely not help us find the murderer!”

“This will be troublesome.”

The second guardian frowned deeply. “Recently, Fanshu City held an auction, there were all sorts of people, tens of thousands of Gu masters were coming and going every day, and there were many suspicious people. We are so far apart, and we do not have any information. If we do not let them help, how

can we find the murderer?”

“Enough.”

The middle-aged man said feebly, as if he had aged ten years.

Both of them shut up and dared not say anything more.

‘The middle-aged man took a deep breath. “Flying Gu, get people from Zhang clan who are in Fanshu City to collect all the information related to Bin’er, I want to know all the people whom Bin’er recently formed grudges with.”

The head guardian reminded, “Clan head, the information that the disciples in the secular world can get is very limited.”

“We can use it as evidence.”

The middle-aged man waved his hand. “Soon, the dynasty’s triennial Gu Dao convention will be held, At that time, the Gu Immortal Sect and Gu Demon Sect will send people to participate, and we can use that opportunity to gather information.”

Saying so, he looked at the other party. “Head guardian, you will have to go to Fanshu City personally, and gather as much information as you can…”

The head guardian cupped his hands in agreement.

The middle-aged man sat in the armchair and raised his head to look at the sky. His gaze gradually became fierce.

“Whoever it is that harmed Bin’er, I’ll make them pay in blood!”
