Chapter 101: The person is as old as his heart has aged


    Trantor: Skyfarrow Editor: Skyfarrow


    With his abilities, Gu Yue Dong Tu could easily find Fang Yuan’s residence.


    He was wearing the Gu Master’s uniform which he rarely wore; he had leg wrappings around his legs


    and was wearing a red belt around his waist. Everything was neat and clean, and gave off a faint


    feeling of majesty.


    He looked at Fang Yuan who was slowlying over and his line of sight fell on thetter’s belt; deep


    emotions emerged in his heart.


    “Only C grade aptitude but he has already broken to Rank two at sixteen, it is truly surprising. I really


    don’t know how he seeded. However…this quick speed should be mostly attributed to the Liquor


    worm. Pity that Liquor worm has no use at Rank two.”


    Following that, he saw the faint smile hanging on Fang Yuan’s mouth.


    This smile made Gu Yue Dong Tu’s heart chill.


    Anger rushed through his mind, “This kid acts so calm, does he think he has me trapped within his


    palm?!”


    Fang Yuan slowly walked over and stopped in front of Gu Yue Dong Tu, he knew thetter was


    definitely here for him.


    Sure enough, Gu Yue Dong Tu opened his mouth, “Fang Yuan, I think we can have a talk.”


    “What do you want to talk about?” Fang Yuan slightly frowned.


    Gu Yue Dong Tuughed but then talked of another thing, “Do you know, I was the same as you, I


    became a Gu Master when I was fifteen.”


    “It was right at the time of wolf tide, there was arge number of casualties and we – students – also


    had no choice but to fight. I had B grade aptitude; I reached Rank two initial stage at sixteen, upper


    stage at seventeen and peak stage at eighteen. When I was neen, I was already beginning my


    charge to Rank three. At that time, I believed I could be a Rank three Gu Master at twenty.”


    “Hahaha, I was too frivolous, I thought I was above everyone else and thought I could aplish


    anything. I even thought I was omnipotent, I simply didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. It


    was when I was twenty. I went out to do a mission and was beaten by a Xiong vige’s Gu Master. I


    was on the brink of death but fortunately, medicine hall’s elder personally moved and saved me. But


    after that event, my aptitude dropped down to C grade, I couldn’t recover from this shock for a whole of


    eight years.”


    “At my twenty-ninth birthday, I started to have another look at myself and this world. I discovered that a


    single person’s strength was limited. So what if I had broken through to Rank three? Living in this


    society, the most important thing is not individual strength, but the connections with others.”


    “I began my life anew when I was thirty. I stepped down from the frontlines when I was forty-five. A


    hundred Gu Masters jointly petitioned to elect me as an elder dozens of times. Even though I only had


    the cultivation of Rank two peak stage, I couldn’t take that final step but there was also no need. I had


    already achieved sess. n members call me as the ‘hidden elder’. Most of my peers have already


    passed away but my life sailed smoothly. I still have influence on many Gu Masters.”


    After giving a lengthy report, Gu Yue Dong Tu returned to the main topic. He looked at Fang Yuan, his


    mouth curved up, “Fang Yuan, you are too young and inexperienced, just like I was back then.


    Believing you can aplish anything and finish everything by yourself. Hehe.”


    Gu Yue Dong Tu shook his head and continued, “But when you gain more experience, you will


    understand that human is a social animal and not a lone beast. Sometimes we need to lower our heads


    and take a step back. Being an extremist and arrogant person will only bring istion and destruction. I


    believe you have already felt it; no group will take you and everyone is leaving you out. Even if you


    receive the family inheritance mission, what would that do? As a person who has been left out by


    everyone, you definitely won’t have the chance to finish the task. Give up.”


    Fang Yuan indifferently looked at the middle-aged man; his expression, calm.


    “I wonder what expression he will show if he knew I have five hundred years of experience?”


    Fang Yuan’s eyes couldn’t help but reveal a trace a of smile when he thought this.


    Actually, his uncle’s way of thoughts had been his life’s concept for a long period of time in his previous


    life.


    Thus, he had created the Bloodwing Demon Sect, relying on the system and human emotions to create


    an enormous influence. Ten thousands woulde forth with his one call, seizing resources and


    fighting enemies.


    However, when he broke through to Rank six, he saw apletely new scene.


    Gu Masters up to Rank five were mortals but Rank six were immortals. When he stood at that height


    and looked at the world, he suddenlyprehended — an enormous influence was indeed a powerful


    help but at the same time was an enormous burden.


    No matter which world, there was only one thing which one could truly rely on; that was oneself.


    Only that such people were usually weak. People couldn’t endure loneliness and liked chasing after


    family love, friendship and romance to fill in their spirit. They indulged in being in a group and were


    afraid of being alone.


    When they received setbacks, they would hide in the group,in to rtives and share with


    friends. They didn’t dare to confront their fears and defeats by themselves. When there was pain, they


    would be busy sharing it; when there was something good, they would be anxious to boast of it.


    Gu Yue Dong Tu seeded? No doubt he seeded.


    He couldn’t walk his original path, so he went in another path and left for a new scene.


    But at the same time, he was also a failure.


    He had lowered his head because of one setback; he was no more than a coward, but he was content


    with his running away.


    Gu Yue Dong Tu didn’t know Fang Yuan had alreadybelled him as a coward. He saw Fang Yuan


    made no reply, so he thought thetter was absorbed in his speech.


    He continued, “Fang Yuan, I won’t beat around the bush, you are not Fang Zheng. If you give up your


    idea of inheriting the family assets, you will receive my friendship and you can use all my connections. I


    will also give you a thousand primeval stones. I know you are hard pressed for money these days and


    you are evente in paying the rent by two days, right?”


    Fang Yuan indifferently smiled and spoke, “Uncle, you don’t wear these clothes often, right?”


    Gu Yue Dong Tu was taken aback, he hadn’t expected Fang Yuan would suddenly talk about this.


    Fang Yuan was indeed correct, he had already been retired for a long time now, this uniform was


    usually stored deep in a box. He had worn this uniform especially to meet Fang Yuan today; it was to


    increase his persuasion and deterrence power.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Fang Yuan sighed, he sized up Gu Yue Dong Tu’s clothes and continued, ” A Gu Master’s uniform isn’t


    so clean and neat. It would be covered with sweat, mud and blood; it would be in shreds and patches;


    that is the smell of a Gu Master.”


    “You are old. Uncle. Your great ambitions and aspirations have already disappeared from your youth.


    These years, you have lived an easy life and it has corrupted your heart. You are vying for the family


    assets, not for cultivation but to maintain your rich life. With such a mentality, how could you obstruct


    me?”


    Gu Yue Dong Tu’s face instantly turned ashen, anger surging through his mind.


    There was always a group of ‘old’ people in this world. They touted their social experience everywhere.


    They considered others’ dreams as illusions; considered others’ passions as frivolous; considered


    others’ persistence as arrogance. They would seek their own existence and superiority by lecturing the


    later generations.


    No doubt, Gu Yue Dong Tu was such a person.


    He wanted to educate Fang Yuan but he had never thought that Fang Yuan not only didn’t listen to him


    or yield to him, but would instead lecture him!


    “Fang Yuan!” Gu Yue Dong Tu shouted, “I wanted to guide and persuade you with good intentions as


    your elder but you don’t know what’s good from bad. Hmph, since you want to go against me, then so


    be it. I am not afraid to tell you that I already know the contents of your family inheritance mission.


    Young people don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Haha, I really want to see how you will


    complete this mission!”


    Fang Yuan had a ridiculing smile on his face, there was no need to conceal now. Anyway, they could


    no longer reconcile, so there was no harm in enjoying Gu Yue Dong Tu’s uing wonderful


    expression.


    Thereupon, he took out the bullskin water bag and opened it; a fragrance that was specific to honey


    wine floated out.


    “What do you think is in here?” He asked.


    Gu Yue Dong Tu turned pale with fright, his mood immediately sank to an all-time low.


    “How can this be? Where did you get this honey wine?!” He roared, a stunned expression appeared on


    his face.


    Fang Yuan ignored him, closed the cap, put the water bag back and walked towards the internal affairs


    hall.


    Gu Yue Dong Tu’s forehead was covered with cold sweat, many thoughts surging in his mind.


    “Where did he get the honey wine? I already made sure that as long as he looks for other groups, I


    would get the news the very first moment. Could he have done this alone? No, that’s not possible, he


    doesn’t have a defense Gu worm. Someone definitely helped him. No! The point now is not finding the


    reason. This kid already has the honey wine, he is going to hand over the mission!”


    Gu Yue Dong Tu was already panicking as he thought this and no longer had the calm appearance


    from moments ago.


    He quickly chased after Fang Yuan, “Fang Yuan, wait, everything can be discussed.”


    Fang Yuan didn’t speak and continued to walk, Gu Yue Dong Tu could only follow beside him.


    “If one thousand primeval stones won’t do, then how about two thousand, no, two thousand five


    hundred.” Gu Yue Dong Tu kept on increasing the offer.


    Fang Yuan turned a deaf ear to Gu Yue Dong Tu, instead increasingly having some expectations


    towards the family assets. On seeing how Gu Yue Dong Tu was so anxious and was continuously


    raising the offer, the real family assets should definitely be very good.


    Gu Yue Dong Tu was perspiring, he saw Fang Yuan was not moved, his face revealed a fierce look


    and he threatened, “Fang Yuan, think this through clearly! What end will you have if you offend me,


    hmph, don’t me uncle for being cold-hearted if you miss an arm or leg in the future.”


    Fang Yuanughed.


    This Gu Yue Dong Tu was really amentable person. He was bound by rules and regtions; the


    water bag was clearly within his reach, but he didn’t dare to snatch it. If he didn’t even have this much


    guts, how could he seed in fighting for the benefits?


    Riches and danger went together. No matter which world, if you want to obtain something, you need to


    pay its price.


    “Fang Yuan, you think everything will be well after you get the family assets! You are too young, you


    don’t have a clue about society and its dangers!” Gu Yue Dong Tu snarled by Fang Yuan’s ear.


    Fang Yuan shook his head and ignored him, walking into the internal affairs hall in front of his ring


    eyes.


    Actually, he didn’t hate or even loathe this uncle of his.


    He had seen a lot of such people and understood this type of people.


    If Fang Yuan had enough primeval stones to support his cultivation, he wouldn’t even fight for the


    family assets. But what good will giving such insignificant benefits to uncle do?


    For what reason was he reborn?


    It was not for this momentary period, but to step to the highest peak. This type of passerby, as long as


    they didn’t interfere with this and only raged from the side, Fang Yuan would disdain to even step on


    them.


    But unfortunately, this Gu Yue Dong Tu obstructed Fang Yuan’s path.


    Since it was so, then he will stamp on this obstacle and move forward.


    “Fang Yuan! Fang Yuan…” Uncle Gu Yue Dong Tu watched on as Fang Yuan stepped into the internal


    affairs hall; his whole body shook and veins bulged up on his forehead.


    The light of the setting sun shone on his hair which was already turning white.


    He was indeed old.


    When he sustained that injury at the age of twenty, he had already aged.
