“Wen Heng, did something happen?”

Mother Fang’s voice was the first to ring out.

Father Fang, also known as Fang Wen Heng, sighed again, saying: “It is still the problem with the goods that were transported to the capital earlier. The latest news is that the caravan was attacked by a powerful mutated beast and all the goods were lost.”

Mother Fang was shocked: “Didn’t we send Shi Hao to lead the caravan? He is a tenth layer Foundation Establishment Gu master…”

“Shi Hao is heavily injured. His cultivation is less than ten percent, and he has only one or two layers of repairing left.”

Fang Yuan could not help but frown when he heard this.

Something big had happened at home.

Just as his mother said.

Shi Hao was a peak Gu master at the tenth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and he was an old friend of the family.

Even if he fought with a first layer Enlightenment Realm Gu master, he could still protect himself.

With this strength, he could already be considered a first-rate expert in the secular world.

Even in the Gu Immortal Sect, he could hold the position of an elder in the outer sect.

However, even he was heavily injured, so most likely all the other people in the delivery convoy had died.

Even though the world was in chaos now, there were losses every time they went out to deliver goods, although it was still within acceptable losses of the Fang clan.

However, this time was different.

Big Brother Fang Cheng was a weak scholar who hadn’t even opened his acupoints. He only knew how to take care of business matters.

Fang Wen Heng was only around the third layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Moreover, he hadn’t made a move for many years, so he basically didn’t have any actual combat ability.

Without the protection of an expert, the goods might not even be able to be sent out for ten miles.

Shi Hao could be said to be the Fang clan’s insurance to send the goods to various places.

Once he fell, the Fang clan would have no one to count on.

If Shi Hao’s injury couldn’t be recovered for a long time, then the Fang clan could only give up on business outside the city.

In this way, the Fang clan’s property would be greatly reduced.

If the business opponents took the opportunity to strike while they were down and attacked them together, the outcome would probably be even worse.

However, even in such a critical moment, his family still provided him with so many rich resources.

If the Fang clan declined because of this, Fang Yuan would definitely blame himself.

Fang Wen Heng, who was next door, pondered for a moment and said, “I’m worried about another problem now. If something happens and the goods are not delivered to the buyer, the buyer will definitely demand compensation.”

“Aren’t they our own goods?” Mother Fang was a little puzzled.

Fang Wen Heng explained, “Ours only take up half of the goods, and the other half was entrusted by them to be transported. Therefore, we have to think of a way to make up for this portion.”

“Then how many primeval stones will we have to pay…”

“Sigh, primeval stones are secondary. If we grit our teeth, we can still survive. The main point is that Shi Hao is now seriously injured. I’m afraid that he won’t be able to transport goods outside for a short period of time. Once the income is cut off, our shop will probably…”

“Then what should we do?”

“We can only give up. Sigh, even if our fate is like this, there’s nothing we can do. It’s just that we have let down the foundation left behind by our ancestors…”

Fang Wen Heng sighed again and said, “I’ve already made up my mind. Didn’t we leave so much of the Cheng family’s belongings for Cheng’er previously? Let’s give it all to Yuan’er. Our family will depend on him in the future.”

“Should we discuss this matter with the two of them?”

“Just tell Cheng’er. As for Yuan’er… Let’s hide it for now, let him cultivate properly.”

“Wen Heng, I am worried about something.”

“What?”

“Didn’t Yuan’er leave the mountain today? I heard there is a rule in Gu Immortal Sect where disciples who do not break through to the next realm within ten years will be expelled. I just checked, and today is the ten year period. Do you think Yuan’er was…”

“Regardless of whether Yuan’er was expelled from the sect or not, I will not change my decision. I will find an opportunity to ask tomorrow.”

“Then… Alright.”

The conversation came to an abrupt end.

Fang Yuan felt a little uncomfortable.

He did not expect that even when his family was facing such a grave crisis, his parents were still thinking of him.

They even wanted to give him his eldest brother’s assets that he would use to marry his wife in the future, and let him use them for cultivation.
