Chapter 87: Attitude is the mask of the heart
Chapter 87: Attitude is the mask of the heart
Fang Yuan could see the intention behind such an action, this was a small investigation (test) from the clan leader.
His gaze swept across the arena, the three groups with the best performance of the entire clan were here. The Qing Shu group of the clan leader faction, the Chi Shan group of the Chi faction, and the Mo Yan group of the Mo faction.
If it is a regular student, joining one of the three groups means getting great support, representing a bright future.
But to Fang Yuan, it was the exact opposite.
In the perception of the clan higher-ups, he was already part of a mysterious faction. Join one of three spelled problems.
For example, if he joined the Chi Shan faction, the Chi family clearly knew that they did not recruit him, so their first thought was — Fang Yuan was a pawn from another family, but now that he joined our group, what was his intention? have?
Next they would think the — Mysterious Faction that recruited Fang Yuan had previously broken the rules, and now that Fang Yuan was present here, the clan leader would think that we were the one who recruited him, so isn't this 'make mistakes for them? It won't work, we have to catch Fang Yuan, keep an eye on him and investigate him! We will find real evidence and uncover its mysterious supporters.
But in reality, Fang Yuan had no backers!
“Once I join one of the three groups, it means I offend one of the three largest factions in this clan. That's definitely not going to work! Huh, I originally wanted to remain humble and join Jiang He's group, but Jiang He's group is supported by the elders of the punishment hall. Under everyone's supervision, if I join suddenly, it is also inappropriate.” Fang Yuan must have hesitated.
Gu Yue Bo's smile became even more intense, continuing, "Fang Yuan, if you don't choose, I'll choose for you."
The clan elders beside him watched quietly with motionless expressions, each standing like a statue.
"Hmph, forcing me?" Fang Yuan's gaze shone, instantly guessing Gu Yue Bo's next words — either threw it at Chi Shan's group or Mo Yan's group.
Gu Yue Bo knew in her heart that she was not recruiting Fang Yuan. To him, this action could not only dispel suspicion on him, but also weaken his enemy, as well as uncover the mysterious faction; it killed three birds with one stone. It was a game that could divert the issue of — although it seemed simple, it was a strategic move that showed the experienced political abilities of Gu Yue Bo.
“No, I can't let him dictate it. Looks like I can only choose the ugly group.” Fang Yuan was about to open his mouth and speak.
Suddenly at this moment, someone spoke, “Why don't you join our team. Our group is short of attackers.”
Who said it?
Instantly, everyone turned towards the source of the sound.
The person who speaks is not tall or short, with dark yellow skin that makes him look sickly. A pair of triangular eyes shone brilliantly.
"It was the sickly snake Gu Yue Jiao San(1)." Someone showed his identity.
“Gu Yue Jiao San? It's just a team of trash with no background!” The clan leader and the clan elders all showed disappointed expressions.
"Jiao San ..." Fang Yuan's eyes shone with a dark luster that was undetectable.
He and this Gu Yue Jiao San person had never met or spoken before, and he had no memory of such a person.
Why did Jiao San open his mouth and invite him to his team? Was it purely because he got first place in the exam?
How could that happen!
Only someone as childish as Fang Zheng had such naive thoughts.
But……
Since Jiao San opened his mouth and invited Fang Yuan in person, such a situation was a good breakthrough point.
“The clan top brass must be very disappointed right now. Hehe." Fang Yuan smiled at the thought of this, his eyes looking down, hiding the brilliance in his expression.
"Then I will join your group," Fang Yuan agreed on the spot, blocking Gu Yue Bo's upcoming words.
"Is this Fang Yuan retarded?"
“Disregarding the best performing group and joining the sickly snake group!”
“He must be crazy, personality Jiao San, hehehe.
The students and Master Gu began to discuss, looking at Fang Yuan as if he was a fool.
The expressions of the clan leaders and elders turned dim.
Three days later.
The snow had already fallen for a day, and now that it had gradually become smaller, the pieces of snowflakes flying in the air glided with the wind.
On Qing Mao mountain, there was a layer of white color on it. Many bare branches were leafless, except for the evergreen pine tree and the Qing Mao bamboo, which retained its original color standing proudly in the snow.
A group of five people ran in the snow.
The person who led was neither short nor tall, having a pale yellow complexion — it was Gu Yue Jiao San.
As he ran, he turned towards the reticent Fang Yuan, smiling gently with kindness, “Fang Yuan, don't be nervous. Although this is your first clan mission, the content is simple. Just follow us and learn along the way.”
"Yes," Fang Yuan replied lightly, staring forward with a serious expression.
It's already winter.
Running in the snow, the cold winter wind was even firmer. Each breath was like eating snow dust, cooling his entire chest.
Fang Yuan's face was originally very white, and now that snow was shining on it, it looked even paler. In the process of running, snow continued to fall on his short black hair, shoulders and forehead.
What was different from before was that Fang Yuan had changed clothes.
This was a dark blue battle outfit.
Her clothes were long-sleeved and in long trousers, with bamboo sheets wrapped around her feet as wrappers, and bamboo shoes adorned her feet. On his head was a bright blue headband, and the headband fluttered in the air as Fang Yuan ran over.
On his waist, there was a loose belt.
The belt was sea blue with a bronze plate on it, carved with the figure "1"; it was very eye-catching.
This was Master Gu's attire, indicating Fang Yuan's status as the rank one Master Gu.
Children must stay one year in the academy and graduate before they are allowed to wear these.
This dress has many meanings. Having worn it means that one has transcended the mortal realm, renounced the lowly life and stepped into the upper society, becoming the middle class of all mankind. Even if Rank one Gu Masters was the bottom of this level, from now on any human would have to give way to Fang Yuan and salute him.
Gu Yue Jiao San's gaze continued to shine. This battle attire when worn by Fang Yuan, coupled with his cold expression, showed the atmosphere of a cold and calm person.
While running, he kept asking Fang Yuan, “We are on a mission, and usually we have to rush while traveling, so running is common. Are you used to it?”
"I can handle it." Fang Yuan's words were as precious as gold, using the corner of his eyes to look at Gu Yue Jiao San.
Jiao San's warm and friendly expression made him think about the legend of Ren Zu.
The words said that Ren Zu used Gu Rules and Regulations and gained strength but lost wisdom, leaving behind three Gu worms. One is Suspicion, one is Belief, and the other is Attitude.
Ren Zu grabbed Attitude Gu.
Attitude Gu follows the rules of betting, subject to Ren Zu, telling him, “Human, you caught me, I can only curse my bad luck. From now on, I will be under your command. Wear me and you will be able to use my abilities.”
Attitude Gu's appearance was like a mask. Ren Zu put it on his face, but in the end he could not wear it. Even if he used a rope to tie it, it would still fall.
"What the hell is going on?" Ren Zu is troubled.
Attitude Gu laughed, “I know, man, you have no heart. Attitude is a mask of the heart, so without the heart, how can you wear me?
Ren Zu soon realized, he had already given his heart to hope.
He has no heart.
A heartless person cannot wear an attitude mask. In other words, for someone who has a heart/intent, his attitude is a mask.
"This kind and warm attitude is just Gu Yue Jiao San's mask, what is her true intention?" Fang Yuan pondered.
While the "sick snake" Jiao San was observing Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan was also secretly observing him.
(1) Gu Yue Jiao Shan – His name Jiao Shan means three corners. Probably referring to his triangle eyes.
