REVEREND INSANITY

...Chapter 172: There is no one more suited than Fang Yuan!...

At the banquet, the atmosphere was silent.

Everyone was dumbfounded, staring at Fang Yuan blankly.

They did not expect him to answer like this, instantly admitting it honestly.

“After all he is too young, really saying such words.”

“Hmph, as soon as he said that, it meant his entire political career was ruined.”

“From now on, this Fang Yuan is no longer a threat ..”

The clan elders were judged angrily.

At this wolf tide point, the result was already decided. In the next few months, there would only be a small wolf pack moving. As the lightning lycan continued to summon them back, as well as the Master Gu killing them, the lightning wolf would basically disappear completely by the end of the year.

But the conflict never ends.

In a place with people, there is interest. And where there is interest involved, there is conflict.

When the wolf tides, it is a fight between humans and wolves. But now that the heaviest part of the wolf wave is over, the clan's internal struggles emerge above the water, turning into internal strife.

The wave of wolves attacking the village caused many Master Gu to die. Some factions were destroyed, and the interests they once held, would naturally have to be distributed.

Among the higher-ups of the Gu Yue clan, there were originally many clan elders to split flower cakes from all over the village. But now that only Fang Yuan and the other elders numbering less than ten were left, the cake was still intact and intact.

In order to divide this big cake between themselves, they had to compete with each other. Political battles, though inconspicuous or bloody like wolf waves, were full of schemes, planning and setting traps; it was difficult and rough.

At first, Fang Yuan as the only elder who had just advanced, had a strong momentum and attracted a lot of attention. But now that he had admitted his mistake, it had completely destroyed his political career; it was tantamount to giving up the opportunity to compete for this pie of interest with the other clan elders.

All at once, Fang Yuan's threat level towards the other clan elders became much lower.

Their view of Fang Yuan showed that the pressure they felt towards him had lessened.

At this moment, the clan leader of Gu Yue Bo sighed, “Since Fang Yuan himself admitted it, as the clan leader, I must punish you for the act of escaping the battle. According to the rules of the clan ancestor, the escapees will be stripped of their clan elder status, but the end result will be decided by me and the other clan elders. We will decide your punishment after the discussion. But regardless of the outcome, I hope you can accept it. ”

Others show strangeness of expression.

Fang Yuan nodded, not speaking, as if he had submitted to fate.

Gu Yue Yao Ji broke his own arm to save his life, this was firm and cruel. Fang Yuan was also the same, unless he lost even more, giving up the status of his clan elder.

His biggest problem now, was the sudden appearance of the Tie family's father and daughter. If he were to get involved in the political chaos now, facing the suppression from the other elders, the situation would become even more dangerous.

“Let go, willingness to let go, between taking and letting go, that's life. The identity of the clan elder is to cultivate better, that is my only goal. To pursue my eternal life walking the path of the devil, I am willing to throw away my own life. What else can I not throw away? Status of older clan, hmph.

Fang Yuan did not feel the slightest bit of regret or annoyance.

This is the wisest decision.

Moreover, even if there is a penalty, it can definitely be minimized.

After all, there were small clan elders left, and as a rank three Master Gu, his strength was greatly appreciated. The clan leader had to punish him on one side, but also needed to borrow his strength to stabilize the state of the entire village, so he also had to give up on Fang Yuan.

As for the other clan elders, Fang Yuan had walked out of this political contest and no longer held any threat. They would not offend Fang Yuan anymore. After all, if they were to force Fang Yuan to retaliate, wouldn't that find trouble for themselves?

“Although there is a clan system, but what is a system? Hehe, the system is just a tool to keep the interests in power. On one hand it governed and divided the interests of the lower levels, but it was also a rule that contained the higher ups as they competed with each other. ”Fang Yuan laughed coldly. These things, he explained today, the truth was transparent to him.

“The most important thing now, is the father and son of the Tie family. Damn, they came earlier than I expected, even before the wolf wave completely disappeared. Hmph! But such behavior was perfectly matched by Tie Xue Leng's hatred of evil, and unselfishness in fighting crime. ”

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan felt a strong pressure.

Although Tie Xue Leng was injured right now, his fighting strength was not something Fang Yuan could match. A hungry dying camel is bigger than a horse, that's the logic.

“I have to leave the village, but I also have to avoid the pursuit of father and son couple Tie, how can I get out of this predicament?”

Fang Yuan was annoyed.

This Tie family father and daughter is not as easy as Jia Fu. Moreover, Fang Yuan's cultivation was too low. Even if he had a thousand and one plans, what could he do without actual strength?

Rank three and five, it was a different world.

“Everything, I want to say something.” At this point, the silent Gu Yue Mo Chen suddenly said. His expression was pale as he dragged his injured body to the banquet, and he did not drink wine, just sipped tea.

But what he said next, shocked people to death, “There's something I have to be honest about. Elder Fang Yuan did not manage to enter the battlefield, and it was because of me.”

“What?”

Instantly, the other clan elders were shocked.

“Oh, what do you mean?” Gu Yue Bo asked.

Fang Yuan glanced over, hiding his shock.

Why was this Gu Yue Mo Chen defending himself?

Although the Mo faction had their greatest abilities, it protected Mo Bei. On the battlefield, there were many surprises. Moreover, during the wolf tide, everyone was in danger, sometimes they could not even take care of themselves, let alone against others?

Gu Yue Mo Chen sighed, “To be honest, my grandson Gu Yue Mo Yan has loved Fang Yuan so much. Earlier, she had come to beg me, kneeled on the ground and cried, not wanting to see Fang. Yuan died on the battlefield. I only have one grandson, so due to selfishness, I kept Fang Yuan on my land and dropped him. Only until we chased after the lightning crown wolf did I let it out. So, everything is right for me, it's my fault. This had nothing to do with Fang Yuan. ”

” What? “

“Oh, really?”

The clan elders were suspicious.

Gu Yue Mo Chen's words were quite long; it was rather unbelievable.

“Love and relationships among young people are common,” Gu Yue Bo nodded, looking at Fang Yuan with deep meaning, wanting to know some clues from his expression.

But Fang Yuan looked down with a calm expression. There's nothing to see.

The clan leader was disappointed.

The other clan elders exchanged glances, not understanding why Gu Yue Mo Chen had so defended Fang Yuan.

He said this to help Fang Yuan, it meant that he had sacrificed his own reputation and destroyed his own political prospects !!

Gu Yue Mo Chen continued, “To protect my reputation, elder fang Yuan willingly allowed himself to suffer injustice. But I've been wrong, how can I make a mistake once again? This is the truth. As for the punishment, I beg LORD the clan leader to be considered. I admit my mistake and like the rules, if the status of my clan elder is revoked, I don't mind. ”

The clan leader quickly waved his hand, saying,” Elder Mo Chen has worked hard all this time. What you do is understandable, humans are not grass or wood, how could we not have feelings? Now that our clan is so weak, we need a loyal and strong elder like you. But this remains your own selfishness, so the punishment remains to be decided. We have an important guest today, don't talk about this right now. Come, brother Tie, me and the clan elder will offer you a toast! ”

Saying so, Gu Yue Bo stood up.

The other clan elders also stood up, raising their cups.

“Everyone is too good. I still have to trouble you guys later, I hope I can ask for your understanding.” Tie Xue Leng did not air, stood up and drank his wine.

. . .

In the courtyard of the Mo faction, flora and fauna abounded. Artificial mountains have springs that flow with clear water.

In the night sky, the moon hung high in the sky like a plate.

The banquet is long over.

Fang Yuan sat in the cooling pavilion as he listened to the sound of running water, and he put down his teacup with an innocent expression.

Sitting before him was Gu Yue Mo Chen. After the banquet was over, he invited Fang Yuan over for a discussion.

“Come, have another cup of tea, this clear water tea of bamboo leaves is good for getting rid of hangover.” Gu Yue Mo Chen laughed, pouring himself into Fang Yuan's cup.

Fang Yuan's expression was calm, and upon seeing the cup filled again, he said, “Truly a good medicine to get drunk.”

Saying so, he looked outside the pavilion, only to see that the pale white moon had emitted a base with its moonlight. Under the moon, the pavilion was calm and graceful, but in the wind there was a shadow lurking, showing how the courtyard of the Mo faction changed from a prosperous state, to a declining one.

During the banquet, Fang Yuan had already understood Gu Yue Mo Chen's intentions. Seeing this scene, he grew more and more confident in himself.

The Mo Faction has no heir left!

After Gu Yue Mo Bei died, the entire Mo faction would lose its heir.

Although Mo Bei still had his sister Mo Yan, the rule of his clan was, since ancient times, it was preferred by men over women, and its assets could only be inherited by men and not women.

Even if Gu Yue Mo Yan reached Rank three next time and advanced to the clan elder, his assets did not represent the Mo faction, but only his own. If she is married to anyone, these assets will be transferred on behalf of her husband.

If they lost their heirs, the political influence of the clan would have no prospects, and no one would join them.

The Mo faction had fallen into a difficult situation, on the verge of collapse.

But heaven always left a path, and the Mo faction did not really run out of sense; there was still a glimmer of hope.

This hope was in Gu Yue Mo Yan's hands.

Even if she is a girl, she can marry someone.

If the daughter-in-law were to marry into the Mo faction, she would have an acceptable status, and could inherit the Mo faction!

Seeing that Fang Yuan had no inclination to mention it, Gu Yue Mo Chen scolded this cunning young man internally, but had to speak, “I wonder what Fang Yuan thinks of my Mo faction?”

He had an unspeakable sadness.

Since his injury, his cultivation had fallen to Rank two, with no chance of regaining Rank three.

He could only rely on the Gu worm to hide his true aura. But paper could not cover the fire; he would be exposed one day.

His only heir had died, while he himself was a rank two and would lose the identity of his clan elder. Gu Yue Mo Chen needed someone who could hold the fortress to defend their faction.

Back then, he had authority and status, so the Mo faction controlled a large amount of interest cake. But now that the clan factions were reorganizing themselves, he did not want any more interests. As long as he could maintain what he already had, it would be the biggest victory.

He pondered left and right, and the most suitable person was Fang Yuan without hesitation!
