Chapter 128 - The Wan Clan’s Upheaval (2/2)
Fang Yuan slowly walked up and said softly, “What happened?”
Wan Qian looked back at the token in the hall and could not help but shed tears.
“My father went out on a business trip… he died…”
Fang Yuan was shocked.
The Wan clan was a famous clan in the capital. When the clan head went out, he would at least bring a Fusion Realm Gu master to protect him, right?
With this strength, as long as they did not go to dangerous areas, there would definitely be no problems.
After all, powerful demon beasts had territorial consciousness, they would not easily enter areas where humans frequented.
Thus, Fang Yuan asked in detail.
But Wan Qian did not want to say much. She was in a low mood.
“Junior, I plan to leave the sect for a period of time, please report it to the sect, in the near future… I won’t be going back.”
“Senior…”
Fang Yuan looked at this woman who had helped him before and felt a little apologetic. Il ls there anything I can help you with?”
“Don’t worry about me…”
Wan Qian raised her palm and gathered spirit essence. “I have already consumed the clan’s inheritance pill, my strength has increased greatly and I have the ability to protect myself. After I settle the family
matters, I will return to the sect.”
Fang Yuan looked at her.
Wan Qian was already a fifth layer Enlightenment Realm Gu master, but because she had consumed the pill, her realm was unstable and her Qi was fluctuating, but she was still above the fourth layer. It was just that she could not use her full strength.
Her actions were to reassure Fang Yuan and get him to not interfere in this matter.
He smiled bitterly. “Senior, actually, whether it is because we are fellow disciples, or… sigh, there is no need to be so distant.”
Wan Qian opened her mouth, wanting to ask him what the second half of his sentence was, but after hesitating for a while, she still didn’t say it.
Fang Yuan, on the other hand, took a quick step forward, opened his arms, and pulled her into his embrace.
“What… what are you doing…”
Wan Qian panicked. Even though it wasn’t the first time they had hugged, as a girl, she still couldn’t suppress the shyness in her heart.
She struggled for a while, but was hugged even tighter.
Fang Yuan said gently in her ear, “Senior, no matter how big of a problem it is, you still have me. If you have any difficulties, just say it.
Don’t be embarrassed to tell me.’
Wan Qian’s body gradually relaxed and she began to enjoy this feeling.
Suddenly, she felt an inexplicable sense of security in Fang Yuan’s embrace, touching his warm and strong chest.
Her hands, which were hanging down, slowly moved up and rested on Fang Yuan’s back.
Fang Yuan patted her back gently to comfort her.
“Tell me if you’re unhappy, okay?
Hearing his gentle voice, the grievance that had been suppressed in Wan Qian’s heart for a long time could no longer be contained, and she burst into tears.
Fang Yuan sighed. “Let it out, let it out, just cry it all out.”
After a long while, she lifted her head slightly and rested it on Fang Yuan’s shoulder. Her emotions were slightly stablized.
“Thank you, Junior.”
“Why are you being so polite?”
Fang Yuan smiled and lowered his head to help her tidy up her hair that had been stuck to her face by the tears.
Wan Qian enjoyed this moment very much. There was a warmth that she had not felt in a long time.
“After father passed away, mother was also bedridden because of this. ”
Wan Qian suddenly said softly, “From then on, the people in the residence left and dispersed. The property of the Wan clan was also suppressed overnight by the joint efforts of people. The losses were huge. Even the primeval stone mine was occupied by someone.”
Fang Yuan was shocked.
The Wan clan even had primeval stone mines?.
