So that was the case.

Guarding the tomb of the dead sounded rather boring.

Yong An Hall had so many corpses, and after so many years of accumulation, if the two sects argued over this, there would definitely be a battle in the future.

In the dispute between the Gu Demon Sect and Gu Immortal Sect, there was no right or wrong in Fang Yuan’s eyes. It was purely a result of a difference in the sects’ ideologies.

But he had many important people in the Gu Immortal Sect, so if he were to take sides in the future, he would definitely choose the Gu Immortal Sect.

But why would Zhang Wenbin have such an attitude?

This job did not have any benefits.

If it was not done well, he might even get burned, and he would become a victim of the conflict between the two sects.

Why did it he make it seem like he was very powerful, like he had complete confidence in dealing with Fang Yuan?

It was out of the ordinary. Combined with Zhang Wenbin’s vicious words, Fang Yuan felt that he must have done something big.

However, these ordinary disciples could not possibly know about it.

He had asked most of the questions he needed to ask, so Fang Yuan immediately found an excuse to escape and leave the place.

He really did not like this kind of atmosphere.

Xu Zhiyu followed closely behind.

“Senior Fang, this is…”

“Hahaha, Senior Fang can’t wait!”

Li Tongzhou tried to mediate the situation and helped Fang Yuan finish up the banquet. “Let’s continue, we can’t leave any of the Gu wine behind! Drink up!”

The few of them smiled ambiguously.

In the face of Xu Zhiyu, who was a stunningly beautiful woman, it was only natural for them to be unable to control themselves.

“Come! Cheers!”

…

Fang Yuan walked along the side of the boat to a corner, looking at the lake scenery in the distance thoughtfully.

“Big Brother Fang…” Xu Zhiyu caught up and draped a thick robe over his back. “It’s late at night, be careful not to catch a cold.”

“Thank you.”

Fang Yuan smiled slightly, lowered his head to look at the fabric of the robe, and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, “This should be made from some kind of demon beast’s fur, right? It can actually condense spirit essence to form a defense, most likely to block normal attacks.”

“Big Brother Fang, do you like it?” Xu Zhiyu tilted her head and asked.

“No Gu master would not like such a treasure. Miss Xu must have put in a lot of effort.”

“Blue demon beast skins usually contain frost elements, they cannot keep a person warm so they cannot be made into clothes, I have indeed searched for this for a long time.”

Xu Zhiyu smiled sweetly. “But it’s good that Big Brother Fang likes it. It was worth all the effort to get it. Zhiyu was afraid that she had chosen the wrong gift.”

“…”

Fang Yuan fell silent, and his gaze met Xu Zhiyu’s.

She had actually memorized his casual remark of liking blue.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he suddenly felt that Xu Zhiyu really liked him a little, and wasn’t acting according to Vice City Lord Xu’s request.

But it wasn’t good for him to ask. This was too straightforward.

Xu Zhiyu smiled at him at first, but after a few seconds, she touched her face in confusion. “Big… Big Brother Fang, is there something on my face?”

Fang Yuan shook his head. “Let’s just walk around.”

“Okay!”

Xu Zhiyu’s eyes lit up, and she responded happily.

The flower boat was very big, and there were four or five floors above deck. Other than the private rooms for the party, there were also individual rooms.

However, due to the wooden structure, the sound insulation was not very good.

When they passed below, all kinds of faint breathing sounds could be heard.

“…”

Looking at Xu Zhiyu, whose eyes were red to the ears, Fang Yuan really regretted agreeing to Li Tongzhou to get information from his juniors on the flower boat.

“Let’s hurry up and get off the boat.”

“Okay…” Xu Zhiyu’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s.

However, just as they passed by the window of a certain room, a sentence from inside instantly stopped him in his tracks.

“Fellow Daoist Bai… about that matter… sect… request?”

He couldn’t hear the specifics clearly. The voice came from the fourth floor, and it was very faint.

However, Fang Yuan could tell just from the tone.

The man who spoke was definitely Zhang Wenbin.

He did not expect to run into him in such a place.

What a coincidence!

But even though this place was messy, it was a good place to plan something big, since it would not attract suspicion.

Li Tongzhou really happened to run into Fang Yuan by accident.

“Big Brother Fang, what’s wrong?”

Xu Zhiyu saw Fang Yuan’s expression change, and she asked softly.

“Shh.”

Fang Yuan signaled her not to speak, and he released the Sound Transmission Gu and let it climb up, relaying the conversation inside to him.

“I have already reported your request to the sect, and as for whether the higher-ups will agree, we will talk about it in a few days.”

“Didn’t we agree before? I am guarding Yong An Hall. I will turn a blind eye and let your people in, and you will provide me with cultivation resources, so why are we still waiting?”

“The progress is too slow, and the sect leader is very dissatisfied. Why don’t you kill the other disciples, and I’ll send someone to loot the graves for some time before you report it?”

“What’s the difference between killing fellow disciples and betraying the sect? Besides, I still have big things to do in a few days, so it’s not a good time to stir up trouble.”

“So there’s nothing I can do.”

“You! Don’t go too far, fellow Daoist Bai. I gave you all the information of the personal disciples of the sect’s elders, and you’re treating me like this?”

“There’s no one in there that I want to find. Moreover, I also gave you the eggs of my Vital Gu worm, which is a Gold quality Gu worm, so we can call it even.”

“Fellow Daoist Bai, how about this, I’ll help you find the person you’re looking for, and you’ll give me what I want as a second transaction?”

“If you ask for too much, I might not be able to make the decision.”

“Don’t worry, I only want a few things that are unique to your Gu Demon Sect as a trump card. Tell me, who are you looking for?”

“He… he is tall and had big eyes. He looks very friendly, but is ruthless in reality. He would kill people if they didn’t agree with him. He likes to travel outside in a black robe… hmm… He should be a core disciple of your sect…”

Fang Yuan felt something was not right when he heard this.

Why did this description sound like him?

He only heard the Sound Transmission Gu continue to explain.

“This person… why does he sound like a demon sect disciple, this scum… fellow Daoist Bai, are you sure he is a member of the Gu Immortal Sect? Or a core disciple?”

“Heh, I’ve seen his identity token, and I would not remember wrongly. Besides, your Gu Immortal Sect might not be that noble. Doesn’t the Fourth Elder have someone like you? At least he was straightforward, and did not want to do such dirty things behind the scenes. ”

“Fellow Daoist Bai, look at what you are saying… Yong An Hall will be a place of conflict in the future. It cannot be defended forever, so I am only taking this opportunity to get some benefits.”

“Hmph, cut the crap, are you going to help or not?”

“Fellow Daoist Bai, don’t worry, I will go back and get someone to investigate. Once I have news of that person, I will inform you at the same place.”

“I won’t send you off.”

The conversation stopped abruptly, and the Sound Transmission Gu even imitated Zhang Wenbin’s footsteps as he left, moving further and further away.

He had probably left the ship.

Fang Yuan was about to follow him.

A soft moan came from above.

“After listening outside for so long, you intend to leave here alive?”
