If a normal person was being looked at with such threatening eyes from this middle-aged man, they would have felt three times the fear.
However, as soon as Fang Yuan took a glance at him, he lost his interest. Once again, he focused on his meal, continuing to act as if that middle-aged man was just air.
"Who is he? He is wearing clothing for servants. He isn't a Gu Master, how can he question our Childe Fang Yuan?" A tavern's servant had seen that the situation was unfavorable. He retreated to a safe corner then confusingly asked.
"Huh, this really is the fox exploits the tiger's might. As soon as I realized that he is a despotic servant of the Mo family, I knew he had relied on the fact that his back was leaning against a mountain to be able to yell at the Honorable Gu Master like that." If this were an ordinary human, how could he have dared to act in such a way?" Someone mockingly laughed on the side.
"Even if it is the case, but as long as there is an ordinary human yelling at a Gu Master. Tsk tsk, such experience must be very interesting."
"Ha, don't think that a normal Gu Master is formidable. Childe Fang Yuan is just a Beginner level one. He has just finished refining his Vital Gu. Talking about actual fighting, it is uncertain whether he can win over this st.u.r.dy and skillful ordinary man."
"Haizz, I just hope that they don't destroy our tavern when they fight with each other."
One after another, the servants were talking non-stop. They did not dare to come forward but just retracted their heads while looking around.
"A? You still have the mood to continue eating?" Seeing Fang Yuan did not get scared hearing his words, icy-cold beam started to flash in the middle-aged man's eyes, "You think I'm tricking you? Right now, there are people who has gone and reported to mistress already. She may come after only a short while. Rascal, you don't need to run. But, of course, you can't run away. I am here to keep an eye on you. Just wait a bit longer and you will feel better."
Fang Yuan ignored him, acting like he did not hear a word, and continued to eat his meal.
The middle-aged servant furrowed his brows. He could not see a gleam of fright nor anxiousness on Fang Yuan's visage. This had made him feel like he was being ignored and that his dignity was being severely offended.
He had been working as a servant in the Mo family for dozens of years and had gained total trust from his masters. Due to coming in contact with them for a long period of time, he also had some certain knowledge about Gu Masters.
A Beginner level one Gu Master usually depended on fisticuffs to fight. In battling, the threats from the Gu were much greater than that of their physical strength.
Especially when he knew, young men like Fang Yuan who had just started cultivating, that the strength of their power was far from being equal to a man who was in the prime of his life as himself. If talking about fisticuffs, he had been practicing it for a long time. He could totally gain the upper hand.
At the same time, the Gu which Fang Yuan had refined was the Moonlight Gu. At most, he could only have released several Moon Blades.
Soon before this, the middle-aged man was served as a training partner. He had his personal understandings; he clearly knew that: When a Beginner level one Gu Master urged his Primeval Essence to release a Moon Blade, if it actually hit his body, the best it could do was only create a cut inside of a palm, the lethality was extremely limited.
Moreover, he had the Mo family as his backup. Hence, confronting Fang Yuan, he was not scared. Rather than that, he sincerely wanted to actively execute this, to draw out some rewards, and to be regarded as important to his masters.
"Rascal, your gut is big..." The tone of the middle-aged man was getting more unpleasant. After he had finished, he folded up his sleeves, revealing his st.u.r.dy and strong arms. His two arms were extremely robust, being fully covered with scars. On his forearms, veins were bulging meanderingly. His arms were even bigger than Fang Yuan's thighs.
The people inside the tavern had soon felt the coldness looking at such a scene. Some guests had already stood up, hurriedly paid, and wanted to leave this disputing place.
"You've found Fang Yuan?" Right then, a clear and high tone female voice arose from the doors.
Mo Yan strode ahead, entering the tavern. Following behind her was a bunch of despotic servants from the family.
Her figure was not bad; she was tall and thin. Moreover, she had the stature of an hourgla.s.s. However, the hatchet-faced was already the distinctive feature in the blood vessel of the Mo family which had been pa.s.sed on. This reduced her beauty by a significant amount. She could barely be considered as moderate.
Nonetheless, she was wearing the blue martial robes with a red belt being hung on her waist. On the belt was a copper platter which was carved with the word "Two", looking extremely eye-catching.
Moreover, she had just finished a mission from the clan. A feeling of tumbling through the recent hards.h.i.+ps still lingered on her body.
These things acc.u.mulated an aura of a dangerous and highly capable person on her.
Therefore, as she stepped into the tavern, the awe-inspiring armor that had covered her made the whole tavern fell into silence.
"Servant Gao Wan greets Mistress!" As soon as the middle-aged man saw Mo Yan, his countenance immediately changed.
A flattering smile was beaming on his visage, as he bent down and took several steps forward, then knelt down the floor with a thud, turned to Mo Yan, and gave his greeting.
A group of servants in the tavern could not help but widen their eyes and mouths when seeing the drastic change on this middle-aged man.
Gao Wan was a st.u.r.dy and robust man. The image on him groveling was quite unfit, looking funny even. However, the people inside the tavern could not even smile. Based on the way the middle-aged man was acting, it had shown Mo Yan's mightiness.
Some servants couldn't help but sweat for Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan was their tavern's important customer. If something were to happen to him, then there would be no way to take care of the business of the tavern in the future, it would be bad.
Even more people were silently praying inside: Hope that Fang Yuan should just submit himself with folded arms. If they really fought, then the tavern would be destroyed, which was even worse.
Mo Yan did not spare a glance at Gao Wan who was kneeling on the ground; her eyes were focused on Fang Yuan. She stepped toward his tablet, using an extremely sharp tone to speak up, "You are Fang Yuan? Seems like you are enjoying your meal a lot! Ha…ha…ha, want to have a taste of my fist? I will let you try it. It could be even better than your meal."
Although she said so, she did not immediately act.
Fang Yuan's manner was too calm, too weird. Or was it he also had someone backing him up from behind?
"It shouldn't be, I have investigated him already. This Fang Yuan is the standard 'Uncle does not feel painful for him, grandmother does not love him' [1]. His parents had also pa.s.sed away. He was kicked out by his uncle and aunt also. Moreover, he is just a grade C apt.i.tude, what kind of background could such a feeble young man have?" Mo Yan could not help but tell herself inside.
However, no matter what, if it was different, it could be suspicious. This was too weird; she should pry on him more.
Fang Yuan laughed out loud; he glared at Mo Yan, "Who told you I am Gu Yue Fang Yuan?"
Mo Yan was astonished. She instantly turned to Gao Wan.
Gao Wan, who had just immediately stood up, knelt down again. Cold sweat was pouring on his forehead, he was stuttering as he did not know how to answer, "Master, servant, servant..."
They had a drawing of Fang Yuan. However, they also knew that Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng were twin brothers, their looks were almost identical.
"No wonder why this young man isn't scared. So he is Fang Zheng, not Fang Yuan." In that moment, the despotic servants of the Mo family all had that guess.
"Fang Zheng is not someone Fang Yuan can be compared to. The latter is just a grade C apt.i.tude, all on his own, without any mountain to lean on. While Fang Zheng is a grade A apt.i.tude genius. At the Aperture Opening Ceremony, he was put in a line by the clan's head himself. Once he grew up, his future path will be brilliant!" Without Gao Wan's confirmation, Mo Yan was even more hesitated.
Right now, only the group of servants knew Fang Yuan's real ident.i.ty.
However, they did not dare to offend him the slightest bit. Therefore, they all kept their mouths shut.
After he had become full, he slowly stood up, and casually glanced over at Mo Yan, "Didn't you want to find Fang Yuan? Follow me; I will bring you to the schoolhouse's dorm to find him."
"If the one in front were Fang Zheng, I would not offend him. If it were Fang Yuan, I would still closely follow him anyway, even if he was faking it." In a blink, Mo Yang had inverted her thought and determinedly decided.
"Alright, I will follow you to the schoolhouse. Please!" Mo Yan leaned her body to show a path. She stretched out her hand, implying to Fang Yuan while light was flas.h.i.+ng in her eyes.
Fang Yuan laughed out loud, raised his head, and started walking.
Mo Yan closely followed him. The group of servants also followed them and exited.
"Too dangerous."
"They left at last."
"Even if they were to fight, it would not be our tavern's matter anymore."
The servants at the tavern all stroked their chests in relief, feeling the unceasing fortunate relief.
The group of people had reached the schoolhouse's grand gates.
"Stop!"
" Stop, the clan' schoolhouse only allow their Gu Masters to enter freely." The two bodyguards standing on both sides of the gates stopped Fang Yuan and Mo Yan's group of people.
"How dare you! You don't even recognize me? You even dared to stop me." Mo Yan eyed the two bodyguards, reprimanding.
"I don't dare to." The bodyguard hurriedly held their fists up.
"Mistress Mo Yan, we all put you in our hearts. But the clan's regulations are facts. Let's do this. Mistress, you can bring one servant with you. This is the best concession we can give." An older bodyguard respectfully said.
Mo Yan coldly sneered. Even though she was not willing, in front of the clan's regulations, she did not dare to violate it.
The Mo family was formidable, but a tall tree would attract the wind. Don't forget besides the Mo family; there was also the Chi family which was met as equals. Beside the Chi family, the clan head's line was also waiting for find the Mo family's weakness.
"You guys stay here. Gao Wan follows me." After thinking for a while, Mo Yan ordered.
Gao Wan immediately had his head high, and chest out, and with a joyful expression, he said, "Many thanks for Mistress' acknowledgment!"
"Let's go, junior brother." Mo Yan expressively looked at Fang Yuan and beamed a smile.
Fang Yuan's expression stayed calm; he took the lead to step forward.
He opened the dorm's doors and the shackle, before pus.h.i.+ng open the doors.
He stepped one step into the room, then stopped.
As the room was widely opened, the entire interior was exposed. The inside was simply and plainly decorated. There was no one else in the room.
Mo Yan stood at the door and glanced at the interior of the room as her visage became solemn, "Junior brother, you'd better have a good explanation for this. There is no one in this room!"
Fang Yuan smiled, "I'm the only one, am I not?"
Mo Yan looked straight at Fang Yuan. As her eyes suddenly lit up, she suddenly understood something, "I wanted to look for Gu. Yue. Fang. Yuan!"
Fang Yuan laughed out loud, "I have never said that I am not Gu Yue Fang Yuan."
