Chapter 153: Really old

“She has really risen to rank three!”

“Aura rank three is original, and there is a white silver primordial essence; no error.”

The atmosphere in the clan hall was very serious.

Clan head Gu Yue Bo was sitting on the highest seat, with many elders sitting lined up on his left and right sides.

Whispers could be heard here and there, and the attention of a dozen or so people more or less gathered on a young man standing upright in the center of the hall with his head held high.

The young man was Fang Yuan.

“I didn't expect this Fang Yuan to rise to Rank three.”

“If I hadn't seen it personally, I would never have believed it...”.

“Didn't he only have C-class talent? How could he advance so suddenly?”

“Actually, can not be said suddenly. Did you forget that he obtained two red steel Relic Gu?”

“True, it is two Relic Gu intact, they can actually increase their cultivation steeply. Just thinking back to when I was cultivating, sighing ...”

The group of elders were both amazed and confused; this matter left them completely unprepared.

“Fang Yuan is able to rise to rank three! He only had C-class talent, but could actually have such a feat within this short period of time. It's really a surprise.” Gu Yue Mo Chen who was sitting at the very front seat in the left row exclaimed inwardly. He thought of two-three years ago, when Fang Yuan was still in the academy, and killed a servant of his family. He had forgotten the name of this servant. But the chopped corpse Fang Yuan had sent out had left a deep impression on him.

From that day on, he saw Fang Yuan in a new light, but did not expect much from him because of his talent.

Now, this young man actually possessed such a feat!

According to the clan system, all Master Gu who rose to rank three were new elders.

A new elder would definitely exert a great influence on the old political structure.

“If I have recruited him before, I will be able to use this impact and gain political dominance. Huh, very unfortunate ...” Thinking of this, Gu Yue Mo Chen could not help but glance in front of him .

His old rival Gu Yue Chi Lian sat in the front seat on the right row. At the moment he had a gloomy expression and an indistinct light flashed across his eyes.

“Fang Yuan this must have a secret to him. Although he had the help of two red steel Relic Gu, he could not rise to Rank three so quickly, this was something that even Qing Shu could not achieve, he said,” Gu Yue Bo also mused.

He must have thought of his adopted son Qing Shu, and sighed.

If Gu Yue Qing Shu was still alive, she might as well have a rank three cultivation by now. Unfortunately, the reality is cruel.

“The elder of the treatment roomLORDGu Yue Yao Ji has arrived—! “At this time, the doorman suddenly announced loudly.

Following his announcement, an old woman entered through the door. His face was pale and filled with wrinkles, but under his tired eyelids were extremely sharp eyes, which locked onto Fang Yuan in an instant.

Gu Yue Yao Ji spoke as he walked forward quickly, “Fang Yuan, you rose to rank three? I can't believe that! I'll personally verify it, let me check your openings! ”

That opening was Master Gu's most important secret as well as their personal affairs. How could they let others check it so easily?

Fang Yuan slightly turned his body and looked at Yao Ji who was walking over. He replied while sneering, “Gu Yue Yao Ji, on what basis do you demand to check my aperture?”

Back then, when he had just started cultivating, his aperture would be checked at fixed intervals by the academy elders. But it was different now, he was already a rank three Master Gu, someone who was on equal footing with other elders like the academy elder and the medicine hall elder.

Moreover, it was very simple to verify one's cultivation.

The primitive essence of white silver could not be forged easily, and similarly, his rank three aura was a fact.

“Shameful! You, a junior dare to call me by name?” Yao Ji's eyes widened, “Why can't I check on you? With my identity as the elder of the infirmary and also as your elder, I have the right to do so!”

“Hmph, old granny, calling you by name gives you respect. I still haven't solved the problem between us. You held a grudge against me when I did not sell my Liquor worm, and actually wanted to plunder the Nine Leaves Vitality Grass? Hmph, I also want to exchange my reward for the Three-Step Fragrant Grass Gu, but you prevented it in the dark. Now, I am also a rank three Master Gu, so you better stop airing! ”

Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed and his words were as sharp as knives. He was very clear with his words, actually showing his hatred towards Yao Ji.

If he were to say this with the cultivation of Rank one or Rank two, he would definitely be suppressed and even attacked. However, the situation was completely different now; he was a rank three and his position was already on par with the elders.

Against Fang Yuan who was insulting Gu Yue Yao Ji, the other elder's strategy was to wait and see.

Being in a high position, their consideration was very deep. Even if they are not born smart, years of political struggle have trained their shrewdness.

They did not have much understanding of Fang Yuan, so they could use this opportunity to observe him.

“Brat, you have cheeks to slander me!” Gu Yue Yao Ji was furious at the humiliation. What Fang Yuan said was true, but why did he admit it in front of everyone?

The elders present were all quietly observing the situation that was occurring. Most of the elders present here were aware of the matter regarding the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass and even made a transaction with Gu Yue Yao Ji.

But in politics, there is only eternal gain; never eternal enemies or eternal friends.

After hearing Gu Yue Yao Ji replying to himself, Fang Yuan coldly laughed and did not reply.

Gu Yue Yao Ji's voice resounded and lingered within the hall.

This old woman trembled slightly, this silence made her feel like she was alone!

Something has changed.

If Fang Yuan became Rank one or Rank two, these elders would immediately jump out to stand by Gu Yue Yao Ji's side and jointly punish Fang Yuan. The authority of superiors simply did not allow the lower levels to challenge him!

However, Fang Yuan was at Rank three now, and even if the clan head had not officially announced it, his position as an elder was already set on stone. Thus, his contradiction with Gu Yue Yao Ji was now an internal conflict between the higher-ups.

Fang Yuan was a newly advanced elder, his foundation had not been deep and did not have any background, but this was also his strength as he had nothing to lose in the first place, thus having no fear.

On the contrary, Gu Yue Yao Ji was old and although he controlled the treatment room, had a high position and wide connections, this was also his weakness.

He is old and he cannot lose. The heir of his drug faction, Yao Le, is missing and the huge asset he controls is coveted by many.

It wouldn't be bad if this was a time of peace, but now was the time of the wolf tide and even the elders had the possibility to die.

Everything was volatile, newcomers rose positions and old timers retreated.

This was a time of change, no elder could guarantee their own safety. Even the clan head could fall.

In the history of the Gu Yue clan, the number of clan heads that died in the wolf tide was not small.

As for the elders, they couldn't even guarantee their own safety, so unless there were great benefits involved, they wouldn't interfere in other people's fights.

Gu Yue Yao Ji felt the situation had turned difficult.

The hall was quiet.

Due to her grandson's problems, she did not sleep for three days and three nights. Right now as he stood there, he felt an invisible pressure enveloping his body and mind and it caused cold sweat to form on his forehead.

He felt like a crippled old wolf, standing alone in a pack of wolves.

The wolves around him stood in the shadows, observing him through their deep dark green eyes.

Fang Yuan who was in front of him was like a stoic wolf who had revealed his prowess in battle. He is very young, energetic and also ambitious.

That is really the saying – Old waves push new waves forward, and new generations replace old ones!

At this moment, Gu Yue Yao Ji felt that he was really old. So much so!

His eyelids surged even more severely as his imposing aura gradually descended.

However, Gu Yue Yao Le's figure appeared in his mind; he forcefully opened his blurred eyes, his aura rising abruptly.

He opened his mouth, “Fang Yuan, why did you disappear during these three days? If you don't appear, your name will be listed in the victim's announcement in the treatment room, on the list of Master Gu who died in battle. You disappeared for three days and three nights, and when you returned, you were already a Rank three Master Gu. What happened during these days? Heh heh, I'm sure everyone here is interested in your explanation. “

After realizing he could no longer easily make trouble for Fang Yuan, his tone became softer, no longer as strong as before. However, his words were still extremely powerful, with dangerous intentions hidden within them.

After all, he had the highest seniority as a high-level politician!

The eyes of the elders sparkled when they heard this, showing a clear interest. There was nothing stupid among those present here, Fang Yuan's sudden progress to rank three was indeed strange.

His C-class talent was after all known to everyone.

Gu Yue Yao Ji's words made those elders stand by his side again.

However, since Fang Yuan dared to return grandly, he had naturally made preparations.

Under everyone's gaze, she lifted her head and laughed, “Old woman, what do you want to know, am I obligated to tell you? But ... Hearing the sad news about the death of your grandson, I'll generously tell you. For these past few days, I have been cultivating with the door closed in Elder Chi Lian's residence, trying to break through to Rank three. This can be verified by Elder Gu Yue Chi Lian! “

“What?” Gu Yue Yao Ji revealed a surprised expression.

The other elders were also startled, all kinds of complicated expressions appeared on their faces.

Immediately, everyone's gazes were directed towards the gloomy-looking Gu Yue Chi Lian.

The head of the Chi faction, which held one of the two most powerful influences in the Gu Yue Clan, now looked so gloomy that water could drip from it.

Yet in front of everyone's gaze, he knew he needed to give an explanation, therefore he reluctantly replied, “Indeed so. I can testify that Fang Yuan has been cultivating with the door closed in the secret room in my house all these days. ”

The moment these words came out, the entire crowd became in an uproar.

The elders had deep restraints, they would not lose their way and make a fuss. However, there were many whispers and murmurs.

“I didn't think Gu Yue Chi Lian really had a relationship with Fang Yuan!”

“Fang Yuan progress related to Chi Lian?”

“There is a big possibility! Didn't people speculate that Fang Yuan had someone backing him from behind the scenes? Unexpectedly it was the Chi.” faction

“Perhaps the reason for Fang Yuan's fast cultivation speed was because the Chi faction poured resources into him. Fang Yuan was Fang Zheng's elder brother, Elder Chi Lian's actions had a very deep meaning. ”

Some elders were discussing while the minds of some elders were flipping through.

“It turns out that this Fang Yuan is not a junior without anyone guiding his steps, he got help from the Chi faction. We need to be careful of him in the future.”

“Fortunately, we did not interfere and jumped in the fight between Fang Yuan and Yao Ji. ”

” Yao Ji was in a dangerous situation, he wanted to deal with the elder who did not have any support, but he could never have expected that his background was so solid. It was actually the Chi faction! ”

Gu Yue Yao Ji's face was extremely pale. When he heard Gu Yue Chi Lian justify it, he took a step back in shock, his entire body trembling faintly.

Against a single elder compared to an elder backed by the Chi faction, these were two very different concepts!
