Reverend Insanity - Chapter 328

Chapter 328: Eating will be eating

"Is that so . " Shang Chao Feng replied curtly .

Fang Yuan had personally rejected his proposal for Shang Xin Ci, he could not force them .

Fang Yuan had defeated Ju Kai Bei, had rank three peak stage cultivation but his actual fighting strength was rank four . At the same time he had the purple thorn token, and was an esteemed guest in Shang clan . Because of all these, Shang Chao Feng had already been showing goodwill towards Fang and Bai .

But he was scoffing in his heart .

"Hmph, trying to establish a force . It needs time, how can they succeed instantly? Nevermind, I'll let you guys learn from mistakes . When you fail, I will come out and help you, I would be able to earn more then . " Shang Chao Feng contemplated, but he still smiled warmly .

The two discussed for a while more, before Shang Chao Feng sent Shang Xin Ci and the others personally to the exit .

To outsiders, this was an obvious political signal .

After saying bye to Shang Chao Feng, Shang, Fang, and Bai walked onto the streets .

Today was the Auspicious Festival, most of the shops were closed, and two rows small temporary stalls were on the two sides of the road .

"Come, come, come, sour and sweet candied fruits!"

"Let me tell you, this old jade was passed down by my ancestors…"

"Selling rice, selling rice, a bag of five fragrance oil rice for half a primeval stone . "

The small stalls were situated one after another, selling all sorts of things . The two rows spread out as far as the eye could see, as people squeezed about as they tried to buy things, while others watched in a circle, some were bargaining and some were looking around .

The Auspicious Festival was held once a year, be it Fang Yuan, Bai Ning Bing or Shang Xin Ci, they were not foreign to it .

"Counting the days, we have already been in Shang clan city for nearly three years . " Shang Xin Ci suddenly said in an emotional tone .

"Too many things had happened in the last few years . " She sighed, continuing: "If it was before, I would never have guessed I would be Shang clan leader's daughter . "

Next, Shang Xin Ci looked at Fang Yuan, smiling slightly, showing her pure white teeth: "If it was not for Brother Hei Tu, I would not have made it this far . "

Towards Fang and Bai, Shang Xin Ci always felt extremely grateful to them .

Bai Ning Bing looked speechlessly, the corner of her eyes twitching .

"Indeed, I did not think your father would be the famous Shang Yan Fei! But, it was fate that I saved you . People come and go, that is natural in this world . " Fang Yuan looked ahead as he answered .

Shang Xin Ci's expression changed, she understood what he meant: "Brother Hei Tu, you are going to leave Shang clan city?"

"That's right . Soon, I will have to leave Shang clan city with Bai Ning Bing, heading towards San Cha mountain . " Fang Yuan said .

Shang Xin Ci gritted her teeth, she wanted to tell him to stay, but she did not say it in the end .

She had spent a lot of time with Fang Yuan, although they never talked about it, she could feel the ambitions in his heart .

This man's ambition was too great, a place like Shang clan city could not hold him .

"But there is no need to worry . Before I leave, I will make you a young master, and make sure you sit there securely . " Fang Yuan laughed: "Let's go, I'll bring you to recruit some subordinates . Today, let's complete the foundation for your future force . "

"What, brother Hei Tu, you have ideal candidates already?" Shang Xin Ci asked in surprise .

Organising a force takes a very long time .

It takes years of nurturing to obtain loyal subordinates .

Fang Yuan's tone made Shang Xin Ci feel that loyal and capable subordinates were like cabbage, easily found in the market .

On what basis was he so confident and assured?

Not just Shang Xin Ci, even Bai Ning Bing was curious .

"Just follow me . " Fang Yuan walked ahead, leading the way .

After many twists and turns, they finally arrived at a small alley .

In the middle of a lantern shop and silk shop, there was a small stall .  

Fang Yuan walked towards the front of this stall .

Behind the stall, there was a young man lying down .

This young man wore tattered clothes as he leaned on the wall, his eyes half-closed, in a dazed expression as his complexion was poor . He looked like he was drunk, and had completely given up on life .

"Is this young man the person brother Hei Tu is looking for?" Shang Xin Ci analyzed .

Bai Ning Bing used her sharp instincts to assess this man . Although he was a Gu Master, he only had rank one middle stage cultivation, from his appearance, he was not young already, but only had this cultivation, it was pathetic .

"Hi brother, what do you want to buy… oh, Lord Fang Zheng!" The young man sensed people and opened his eyes, but halfway through his words, he showed shock and fluster .

Fang Yuan was now a famous person in Shang clan city, without concealing his appearance, many people could recognise him .

"Lord Bai… Bai Ning Bing . " Immediately after, he recognised Bai Ning Bing, and he stammered .

Although he did not know Shang Xin Ci, from her Gu Master aura and her beautiful appearance, he felt dazed .

"This is ten primeval stones, I am buying everything here, you can leave now . " Fang Yuan tossed a bag of primeval stones .

The young man's face showed joy and exhilaration .

But next, he was slightly hesitant .

The stuff he was selling here were the things his grandfather left behind . From his appraisal, all these were scrap and trash, there was nothing valuable .

But why, why did Lord Fang Zheng want to buy them? Was there really a treasure among them?

If there were treasures, would it not be a loss if he sold them?

Just when he was still pondering, Fang Yuan already tossed the primeval stones to him .

"What are you thinking about? You didn't listen to what I said? Hmph, it is your honor that I wanted to buy these . You can scram now, if you don't, you will not have the chance to leave this place . " Fang Yuan threatened .

The young man was scared until he trembled .

He stammered as he shivered: "Lord… Lord Fang Zheng, you cannot do this . In business, we emphasize on will… willingness . You cannot forcefully buy them like this, you are someone with great reputation… and this is Shang clan city…"

Smack .

Fang Yuan gave him a tight slap and this young man fell on the ground .

"Scram . " Fang Yuan declared, using an icy gaze to look at this young man, speaking emotionlessly .

The young man held his face as he trembled under the great fear . He raised his head to look at Fang Yuan, but immediately looked away when he made contact with the abyss-like pupils . He fumbled his way out of the alley silently immediately after .

"Brother Hei Tu…" Shang Xin Ci looked at his background, her conscience unable to stand it .

Bai Ning Bing was expressionless, completely unmoved .

"Xin Ci, I am a demonic Gu Master, I have my ways of doing things, I emphasize on straightforwardness . " Fang Yuan explained casually in a righteous tone .

The surrounding stall owners looked towards him .

He gave a sweeping glance, and everyone looked away, afraid to make eye contact .

If it was Fang Yuan in the past, he would have to control himself and use coaxing, lying methods to buy the item in the stall peacefully .

But now, his strength had surged, and his status was much higher, thus he can use the most direct method . It saves energy and time, why not do this?

People from the righteous path loved their reputation, and liked showing off their 'kindness', often doing good deeds for the weak .

But Fang Yuan was not righteous, he was from the demonic path .

Since ancient times, big fish eats small fish, small fish eats shrimps, this was the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest .

Demonic cultivators were used to tearing apart flesh and blood, devouring them whole . Righteous cultivators however, will shed crocodile tears while they ate, claiming that they had no choice .

Many stupid people will fall for their deception . Or maybe they were lying to themselves, unwilling to accept the cruel reality .

Hehe .

The truth is, eating will be eating .

Usurper eats the usurped, invader eats the invaded, the strong eats the weak, the suppressor eats the suppressed, the higher-ups eat the lower levels…

All livings beings eat, if not, they would not survive . It is just that they have different eating habits .

Fang Yuan chased that stall owner away and lowered his body, picking a token from among the items in the stall .

This token was made of black steel, ugly and dirty, with half a piece remaining . There were words carved on it but after so long, and without the other half of its body, the words could not be discerned .

But Fang Yuan knew this word was 'Fan' .

Three hundred years ago, a demonic Gu Master was heavily injured and fell into the water, eventually saved by a young lady who was at the river .

The young girl was very kind, after saving the demonic Gu Master, she placed him in the shed and gave him food to eat daily .

After the demonic Gu Master recovered, to thank her kindness, he made a black steel token, carving a 'Fan' word .

He split the token into two, giving half to the girl while keeping the other half himself .

Before the demonic Gu Master left, he instructed the girl: In future, if you have any difficulties, you can go the Dan Huo mountain's Gui Ku cave, and find me for help . Even after you pass away, this promise will still be effective to the future owner of the half-token .

The young girl engraved his words into her heart, but after less than fifty years, there was a huge battle on Dan Huo mountain, and the volcano erupted, destroying Gui Ku cave . That demonic Gu Master was captured by Tie clan and thrown into the demon suppression tower .

This half-token lost its use after that . It was passed around by the young girl's descendants .

Because it involved the demonic path, when the young girl died of old age, she did not reveal the secret to her children, bringing this information to her grave .

The young girl's descendants were chased away by the clan, and eventually settled down in Shang clan city, as the lineage declined . Descendants were untalented and unfilial, after several generations, only this young man remained .

This young man was spoiled from young, having a 'young master' temper, and loved to gamble, drink, and visit prostitutes . After his parents died, he would rely on selling his family assets from time to time to survive .

But one time, during the auspicious market festival, his life changed .

Three brothers who were demonic Gu Masters came here to shop, and accidentally found the half-token displayed in the stall .
