67 Mystery (1/2)

”I'm here to see you, sir!”

Zhou Wenwu bowed respectfully and was also relieved to see Fang Yuan.

Previously, when Fang Yuan went out on a trip, Zhou Wenwu would feel unsafe. However, with Fang Yuan back, he felt much safer.

”Hmm!”

Fang Yuan crossed his knees and sat down. He then waved his hand and said, ”How is everything in Lieyang County?”

He had about 10 days left before he had to go back to the sect. With the daily cultivations of body and soul, Fang Yuan's [Martial Artist (8th Gate)] was much more stable than before. With the intake of the Yin, he had improved tremendously.

Zhou Wenwu was affected the most by his improvement.

To him, Fang Yuan was way more superior than the dead Elder Song!

Upon hearing what Fang Yuan asked, he then answered immediately, ”Ever since the news of the injured Five Ghosts Sect Sect Master spread, there was chaos everywhere in Lieyang County. Everyone in the Five Ghosts Sect were panicking and some of the disciples had decided to defect. Some of the elders stayed indoors while some went missing. Meanwhile, there were other forces getting ready to join in this mess…..”

The situation was expected.

Without the suppression of the Five Ghosts Sect, the sect was already considered well organised if the sect did not split.

Also, there were loyal disciples who were still there, but there was a possibility that they might change their mindset as well.

”Is there any movement made from the Spirit Returning Sect?”

Logically speaking, Shi Yutong did not gain anything through this expedition and wouldn't go back to the sect so easily before she gained anything.

If there was the help of the mysterious spiritual knight, there would be a possibility of losing the two counties.

”Under the leadership of Spirit Returning Sect Sect Master, Spirit Returning Sect controls Shaoyang City and two of the quarries in Lieyang County. After which, there is not much movement from them…..”

Zhou Wenwu was really telling everything that he knew about the sect.

”Really? It looks like the sect is confident in its preparation for its next move!”

Fang Yuan nodded his head upon hearing what Zhou Wenwu said. However, it was not an easy task for the sect take over the whole of Lieyang County. ”But the sect only controls the two quarries…..but this should be sufficient for the sect to show its power. Very well!”

The more chaotic Lieyang County was, the more problematic it would become for the Spirit Returning Sect. However, to Fang Yuan, it would be more advantageous.

”Also, the Spirit Returning Sect incurred a big loss this time and even the Second Elder Han Yan was also injured badly and was currently recovering back in the sect. The sect was also on a lookout for any good doctors to help in the recovery and Master, please be extra careful!”

”One final thing…..”

Zhou Wenwu hesitated for a while before he continued, ”The sect secretly ordered for me to collect intelligence about you…..and it seemed like it was an order given by a series of Sect Masters!”

”A series of Sect Masters….if it was Shi Yutong, she wouldn't be so secretive about it. That means a certain person is very interested in me now?”

Fang Yuan stroked his chin and dismissed Zhou Wenwu. He then sighed and said, ”Being too handsome is also a problem for me now….”

Jokes aside, he could sort of guess that this order was initiated by Lin Leiyue but it had nothing to do with the possibility that both of them still had feelings for each other.

Even if Fang Yuan had revealed a part of his ability, she would be very surprised by it and this would make her even more curious to find out more about Fang Yuan.

Outsiders wouldn't know how Fang Yuan was like in the past and would only know there was someone powerful in the secluded valley.

However, Lin Leiyue knew the background of Fang Yuan.

Since she knew Fang Yuan was also a normal person in the past, she would then be even more surprised with the improvements Fang Yuan had in his abilities and skills.

Fang Yuan had expected this to happen but didn't expect the other party to be so secretive in finding out more about himself. It seemed like Lin Leiyue was hiding a secret or something.

”Never mind…..I shall think of a solution on the spot when the time comes. I should get back to farming! And this…..”

Fang Yuan flipped his hands and an emerald green jade appeared.

He looked at the golden textures on the piece of jade was mesmerised by it.

...….

Spring had arrived in March. Birds were flying and chirping everywhere.

Winter had passed and the flowers were blooming. Fang Yuan came to the Vermilion Jade Rice farm specially during this time.

Looking at the consolidated Emerald Grass, the farm hadn't become a waste as the colour of the soil remained pure black and it was still in good condition.

”This fertiliser…..has a beneficial effect on the farm!”

Fang Yuan wore a thick clothing. He carried a hoe and started to cultivate the Vermillion Jade Rice.

The seeds that were planted were chosen by him and were of high quality. The condition of the seeds remained well for a long period of time.

”I think there is no need for further expansion of the spiritual farm. The current size of the farm is sufficient…..”

Beside him, the Flower Fox Ferret and the Iron-tailed Black Eagle were also helping out in the farming.

After a busy morning, Fang Yuan then made a pot of tea and enjoyed the tea with the other 2 spiritual beasts beside the spiritual farm.

”All the spiritual tea leaves have been picked. The bamboos are growing fast. I have also just planted the seeds for the spiritual rice and with the spiritual fertiliser added, this year's harvest should be a big one….”

Fang Yuan couldn't help but think of the Red-eyed White King Bird when he thought of the spiritual fertiliser.
