97 Devils run amuck (2/2)

”Then you can leave. Think it over as soon as possible. After a few days pass, it will be difficult for you to join a group,” the elder said concernedly.

Fang Yuan sneered inwardly, he wouldn’t choose any of these two paths.

He had a lot of secrets. Only by himself could he be safe and do things properly. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be annoyed to death if there were others with him all the time?

Leaving this interrogation room, Fang Yuan didn’t immediately leave the internal affairs hall but instead applied for the family inheritance mission. However, he was informed that he could only take it after three days due to the busy events recently.

Coming out of the internal affairs hall, he gazed at the sky.

It was just an ordinary winter afternoon.

The winter was bleak along with biting wind. The sky seemed to be pervaded with deep grief.

”Today is group memorial assembly. Gu Yue Jin Zhu is dead, did you know, Fang Yuan?” Mo Bei, along with a group of youths, were walking through the path.

Other than Mo Bei, there were Fang Zheng, Chi Cheng and others.

Mo Bei and Chi Cheng normally hated each other very much, but today, they seemed to forget this grievance and walked together.

”Big brother, Jin Zhu studied with us for a year. Come with us.” Fang Zheng said.

Gu Yue Jin Zhu…

A girl’s image immediately appeared in Fang Yuan’s mind.

Previously, she had been evenly matched with Mo Bei on the arena but lost because of her lacking stamina. She was a hardworking girl.

But, death didn’t discriminate between beauty and ugly.

Most people would feel pity, but Fang Yuan was indifferent as usual.

”Ah, she is dead? But dying of old or sickness, they are both normal events. After seeing it many times you’ll be indifferent to it. You guys go, I am busy.” Fang Yuan brushed past the group.

”This guy!” At once, many among the group were angered.

”He is really cold-blooded and heartless…”

”He simply doesn’t have a feeling of friendship!”

”Hehe, there is a rumor going around recently. You should have all heard it, right? The reason Fang Yuan survived was because he hid inside a boar’s stomach and used his female Gu Master teammate as a shield.”

”He is really a disgrace with no worth. He doesn’t even have the manners of a man.” Chi Cheng folded his arms and laughed coldly.

”Big brother…” Fang Zheng lowered his head and grinded his teeth.

Hearing these discussions, as Fang Yuan’s little brother, he felt shame.

Fang Yuan left and as he walked farther, the mockeries behind him gradually couldn’t be heard anymore.

His heart was calm.

”Why would insults matter to me?”

Insults were insults, what could they do?

A superficial person would be angry due to curses and would be happy due to praises.

These were just bystanders’ way of looking at you. Those who lived according to other’s point of view were really pitiful.

In fact, some people had deliberately spread the rumors to degrade Fang Yuan’s name.

Sacrificing a female teammate to protect oneself wouldn’t be subjected to punishment, but would be criticized by moral consensus.

But, this was the exact situation Fang Yuan wanted.

Once one enters the system, one would be a pawn with no freedom and must follow the system’s rules. To Fang Yuan, it was a huge obstacle, he needed resources and even more needed to be solitary.

So, he wanted to be a loner.

What if you were rejected by the crowd? Haha, only weak-hearted people would be afraid of being rejected.

If this happened on Earth, no matter who, they would end up dead. After all, two fists can’t beat four hands, social connections were the way to survival.

But in this world, if the cultivation was strong, one person could beat ten, hundreds and thousands of enemies. So what if you were rejected, just kill the ones who block your path. If you don’t have resources, snatch them.

Every world had different rules and regulations, the society structure was also bound to be different, causing the difference in human behaviours.

And in a world of martial arts, group thoughts were rather weak.

So in this world —

Devils run amuck.
