Chapter 236: Will goodness be rewarded?


“But why is he here? And, why was he called Zhang Xin Ci? In my memory, he is clearly Master Gu, why would they say he has no cultivation talent and is human?”


Fang Yuan was confused.


“Is he not Shang Xin Ci and is just similar in appearance? But this is too similar! No, wait a minute.”.


Fang Yuan ransacked his mind, and suddenly, he extracted an extremely old information from the depths of his memories.


“Shang Xin Ci has a difficult life. He was an illegitimate child born to the leader of the Shang clan when he went traveling. He has not had a father since childhood and must stand being bullied. After his mother died, his life became more difficult. He was forced by his clan members to follow the caravan and become a merchant. In the end, when he arrived at the Shang Clan city, the leader of the Shang clan sensed his bloodline. The leader of the Shang clan felt both shocked and happy, acknowledging her as his daughter in public. But he still felt that he owed him a lot, so he would bear and cover up a lot of his mistakes. “


Upon thinking of this, Fang Yuan's gaze brightened.


“So so, I understand now!”


Combining the situation before him with the broken clues in his memories, Fang Yuan came to the truth.


Many years ago, when the leader of the Shang clan was only a young master of the Shang clan, he left his seed in the Zhang clan; it was Shang Xin Ci.


The Shang clan and the Zhang clan have been at odds with each other since ancient times.


When Shang Xin Ci was born, her mother did not dare to reveal about the leader of the Shang clan because of this. Thus, Shang Xin Ci was born as a shameful illegitimate child and took her mother's last name.


This was the reason why he was still summoned as Zhang Xin Ci.


After his mother died, he was forced by clan members to become a merchant. And after he finally arrived at the Shang clan city, his bloodline was discovered. His father had also become the leader of the Shang clan, and with such a high status, he acknowledged it in front of everyone, completely changing his fate.


“So arguably, this caravan is his first trip as a trader!”


Fang Yuan's heart started pounding violently upon realizing this.


It should be known, this Shang Xin Ci is a stock that is guaranteed to increase; he is the future leader of the Shang clan. No one would believe it if it were said now.


Of course, the future is easy to change.


Even in his original imprint in his memories, there was a drastic change in the world, and even the powerful Shang clan was already destroyed by the time he became the clan leader.


For Fang Yuan, waiting until he became the leader of the Shang clan was a very long time fruitless investment.


His value did not lie in his time as the clan leader, but rather when he was recognized by the leader of the Shang clan and became one of the young masters of the Shang clan.


As a young master, he would definitely be given responsibility for a portion of his business. It is the tradition of the Shang clan to foster the successors of the clan.


This was what Fang Yuan wanted.


He needed a way to dispose of the goods; a stable, profitable and safe channel.


In its important plan after rebirth, this is absolutely necessary.


In the future, he would definitely open many secret legacies. There would be many things that he did not need, and by selling them he would reveal his immense value.


For example, Gu's bone spear and Gu's spiral bone spear in Bai Ning Bing's current hole.


Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing only needed one of them, at most another one to spare. If they did not sell it, this Gu would only die at their hands and they would even waste a lot of milk to feed them.


Previously, Fang Yuan had intended to temporarily use Jia Jin Sheng as a sewer for goods, then it would be best if he could connect to Jia Fu to nurture this channel.


Result; Fate likes to play around with people, due to being exposed to the secrets of the flower vine monk's heritage, he had no choice but to kill Jia Jin Sheng.


“This is a gift heaven sent me!” Fang Yuan let out a long sigh as his gaze towards Shang Xin Ci in the distance turned bright like fire.


The Shang Clan had a deep foundation – at least before the devastating storm that struck the Southern Border of – it was one of the rulers at the southern border. When the stolen goods were sold to them, the victims would not dare to come looking for trouble.


However, as their influence was too strong, Fang Yuan was also worried about the possibility of stabbing from behind.


They belonged to a straight path on the surface, but the core of the Shang clan members were all black; this was actually quite normal.


However, Shang Xin Ci was an exception.


He has been tested by many changes and upheavals in his hundred-year history. His kindness, gentleness, virtue, and honesty were praised far and wide in Fang Yuan's previous life, his reputation echoing throughout the Southern Border.


The most important thing was that he did not have any foundation.


Different from the other young masters, he would walk on a desolate path after he arrived at the Shang clan city. In the future, he would make many mistakes, but it was not because he was not intelligent, but rather because of the other young masters who were secretly planning to suppress their competitors.


Fang Yuan needs him as a channel, and he also needs external help – Fang Yuan – if he wants to live a better life in the future.


Most importantly, he was easily manipulated and influenced! His youthfulness and good nature were the ‘weakness’ Fang Yuan could utilize.


“Hahaha.” Bai Ning Bing suddenly laughed from the side, “You like it, don't you?”


“What?” Fang Yuan's thoughts stopped.


“Do not pretend, we are both men, I can understand just by looking at your gaze. After all, this little girl is quite pleasing to the eye, but it will be very difficult for you to obtain one. Unless I help you and find a chance to kidnap her secretly. Instead, give Yang Gu to me first. ”Bai Ning Bing tried to persuade Fang Yuan.


However, Fang Yuan's next sentence angered him: “You're a boy?”


Everything is a bit troublesome now. First of all, Fang Yuan needed to get close to Shang Xin Ci, then gain her trust. However, he did not have much time, he had to finish everything before he reached the Shang clan city.


Bai Ning Bing's idea of catching him was too stupid and risky; it would only cause the situation to become even more chaotic.


Fang Yuan greatly explained the reason why Shang Xin Ci could be repeatedly cheated; not because he was stupid, but that he was too kind.


In his previous life, there was a demon path figure called ‘Night’ Man; he was an expert and cunning thief like a fox.


He had deceived Shang Xin Ci many times for the same reason. One day, he couldn't stand it anymore and asked: “I always say this, aren't you worried I'm cheating you?”


At that time, Shang Xin Ci had replied: “You said you can't make ends meet, and if you can't immediately borrow some ancient stones, your family will starve to death. I know that you most likely cheated.I, but every time you say this, I can't bear to think that what if you tell me the truth this time? And if I don't lend you money, then some lives may be lost. Although, it is not most likely to happen, I do not want to bet. “


When Night LORD heard Shang Xin Ci's reply, he couldn't stop his tears from flowing. He was so touched by it that he knelt on the spot.


After these events, he went from demon to godly, and followed Shang Xin Ci with unwavering loyalty, achieving many war exploits.


The sun slowly engulfed the mountains in the west and the night slowly descended.


The long queue of people also reduced, until all the servants received food and dispersed.


“All right, that's it for today. I'll come again tomorrow.” He hasn't even finished talking when a figure suddenly jumps in front of him.


What kind of face is this!


The eyebrows all burned, only a little hair left and one less ear. Who if not Fang Yuan?


Shang Xin Ci was surprised, the servants behind her even cried out in fear.


“What the hell are you doing?!” The tall and sturdy Gu Master immediately shouted.


“Mistress Zhang, please buy my stuff!” Fang Yuan did not care about this old Master Gu, and shouted towards Shang Xin Ci.


Bai Ning Bing quietly stood far away, enjoying Fang Yuan's appearance.


“I have one steamed bun left, take it, okay?” Shang Xin Ci revealed a gentle smile, she did not feel disdain towards Fang Yuan, just sympathy. He tried to think about how much pain he had experienced for such a severe wound.


Sigh, what a pathetic person.


Fang Yuan throws steamed bread to the ground: “I don't need this, I want to sell my stuff! I sold my old house and bought this purple maple leaf cart. But I cannot sell it yet, the leaves will soon wither; what does my life mean? Hiks isak. I must break my head and die! “


He started crying while talking. He stomped his feet and howled, his expression carrying a hint of madness and was extremely moving.


Bai Ning Bing was stunned.


“This acting skill, I really have no hope of catching up!”


If he had not known about Fang Yuan, even he might have been deceived by Fang Yuan.


He then observed the expressions and gazes of the crowd; stunned, insulted, sympathetic, indifferent, but no suspicion.


“Who is this guy? Suddenly it just came, scaring me to death!”


“Such greed, she really wants Lady Zhang to buy her things.”


“Serve him properly! Does he think trading is easy?”


“Sigh, buyers definitely demand lower price. When I think of the moments I met..”.


There were all sorts of discussions going on in the crowd.


“Cih, you are crazy, you really dare to scare our young lady, go right now!” The old Master Gu's tongue seemed to be emitting lightning sparks as he took a step forward and protected Shang Xin Ci behind him.


“Miss Zhang, I don't want to live if you don't buy my stuff! Miss Zhang, you are a good person, please buy this purple maple leaf cart and save me.” Fang Yuan wailed nonstop.


Shang Xin Ci's heart softens: “Sigh, don't cry. I'll buy it, but life is the most precious thing in our lives, live well from now on and don't give up on life. Uncle Zhang Zhu, give him three ancient stones. “


“Nona...” Old Master Gu's eyebrows wrinkled.


“Hah, successfully ?!”


“Maybe I have to do this too?”


A commotion erupted among the stall owners.


“Thank you miss, thank you. Miss Zhang, you are my savior Hei Tu!” Fang Yuan was overjoyed and there were signs of tears on his face as he repeatedly bowed.


Old Gu Master's eyelids twitched, he looked towards the wagon behind Fang Yuan: “This purple maple leaf cart is worth at most two ancient stones. Three too many!”


“Uncle Zhang Zhu...” Shang Xin Ci said in a soft voice.


Old Master Gu let out a long sigh: “Nona, doesn't mean I don't want to part with the three ancient stones. But this amount was too great for an ordinary servant like him. It will definitely attract those who will see the money and schemes against it. Miss, for her own safety, we must give her two ancient stones. Besides, all the peddlers might come tomorrow if you give it to him like this. “


“Uncle Zhang Zhu is right, then please give him two ancient stones.” Shang Xin Ci pondered for a while and immediately agreed.


Fang Yuan received the two ancient stones with trembling hands, he gazed deeply into Shang Xin Ci: “Miss Zhang, you are a great person, you will definitely be appreciated!”
