Chapter 100 Distorting the Truth Brewed up a Storm
While everyone was talking, there was a sudden commotion outside.
Gu Jin frowned and asked unhappily, “Patriarch Fang, what’s the commotion outside?”
“Apologies for the commotion. Please forgive me. It’s like this,” Fang Shen quickly explained.
“Last night, we caught an irreconcilable enemy of the Fang family. Now we’re preparing to lock him at the main door and expose him publicly!”
The mortal enemy he was talking about was naturally Qiu Chi.
“Expose him publicly?” Gu Jin was stunned and immediately felt a bit displeased. Then, he said, “Since he is an irreconcilable enemy, you can just kill him with one slash. Why do you still want to expose him to the public?”
Parading prisoners on the street could serve as a warning to everyone, but this was a method only used by mortal dynasties. People from cultivation forces either killed their enemies directly or were killed by their enemies. If it wasn’t out of anger, they would rarely do such a thing.
Seeing Gu Jin’s reaction, Fang Shen’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly said, “Elder Gu Jin, you’ve misunderstood. This person is not only our enemy but also the former leader of a force in Fusheng City.”
“This person has always broken the law and committed crimes. He has done many evil deeds. Everyone in Fusheng City must punish him! Our Fang family is doing this not only for revenge but also to vent our anger for the people in Fusheng City!”

Hearing this, Gu Jin chuckled and shook his head. “It’s just some guys who can’t even cultivate. How angry could they be? Even if they have a grudge in their hearts, so what?”
“They have no cultivation, so they are destined to live like ants. If they are killed by cultivators, they can only blame their misfortune. Why do you have to stand up for them?”
“I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Elder Gu Jin!” Hearing Gu Jin’s words, Fang Shen was overjoyed.
This was also what he had always thought!
In this world, the strong were respected. Ordinary people who couldn’t cultivate were destined to be trash!
There was no need to show the slightest mercy to such a person, let alone be softhearted!
He didn’t expect that Elder Gu Jin’s views were so similar to his own.
If he hadn’t misunderstood Gu Jin’s words and replied in a dignified manner, he would have regretted not meeting Gu Jin earlier!
When everyone present heard Gu Jin’s words, they all revealed a smile of agreement.
Only Lei Jingyun’s expression became a little ugly, making him seem exceptionally different.
He had long heard that the nine great elders of the sect had different temperaments. Elder Gu Jin had always believed in the survival principle of survival of the fittest, which made him feel extremely disgusted.
If he wasn’t in charge of recruiting students in Fusheng City, he wouldn’t have come here with Gu Jin.
However, as soon as he arrived at Fusheng City, he thought of that little girl, Wan’er.
Sigh, he didn’t know if that little girl’s current cultivation had improved or not.
A five or six-year-old in the tempering realm, this was a true monster!
However, immediately after, he thought of Jiang Ping’s terrifying strength, as well as that gaze that could kill people, and couldn’t help but shudder again.
As expected, if they weren’t similar, they wouldn’t become a family. The whole family was filled with terrifying fellows!
Fang Shen naturally didn’t notice the change in Lei Jingyun’s expression.
All his attention was on Gu Jin.
Gu Jin was already his son’s master, but this kind of relationship was far from enough for cultivation forces like them! He had to invest more to show the Fang family’s value in order to further strengthen the relationship between them.
Only then would Gu Jin support the Fang family when they needed help.
As one of the nine great elders of Chuanyun Sect, Gu Jin’s attitude often represented Chuanyun Sect. In other words, if the Fang family could get Gu Jin’s support, it would be the same as getting the support of the Chuanyun Sect! At that time, the Fang family would truly be able to reach the heavens in a single step. Even the Blood Fang Gang would no longer dare to treat them like dogs!
After coming to this realization, Fang Shen made up his mind. He lowered his voice and said to Gu Jin, “Elder Gu Jin, there’s a scandal in the Fang family that shouldn’t be publicized. However, since you’re my son’s master, then you’re one of us.” “I shall take the liberty as I have another matter that I’d like to ask for Elder Gu Jin’s help!”
Hearing this, Gu Jin’s heart sank.
Naturally, it wasn’t impossible for him to lend a hand. However, he had just arrived, and the Fang family had yet to express anything. Yet, they wanted him to help them. This was a little too much!
However, before he could decline, Fang Shen continued, “This matter is still related to that irreconcilable enemy of the Fang family.”
“Our Fang family originally had a high-grade spirit stone. This matter is top secret, and only I know about it.”
“But a few days ago, this enemy found out about this matter from who knows where and stole this high-grade spirit stone when I wasn’t paying attention!”
“Not only that, but he also entrusted this high-grade spirit stone to an auction house in Fusheng City. He threatened to give the high-grade spirit stone to whoever could take out two of our Fang family’s marketplaces!”
“Now that the high-grade spirit stone has been seized by the auction house’s people, don’t you think it’s infuriating?”
Fang Shen deliberately pretended to be furious.
Gu Jin did not pay attention to him. Ever since he heard the words “high-grade spirit stone”, all his attention had been on it!
At this moment, he completely lost his indifferent state from before and immediately said, “As expected, it’s infuriating!”
Fang Shen was instantly delighted, he continued, “I originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to gift this high-grade spirit stone to you. In the end, this thing has fallen into the hands of the auction house and has even caused many people to have designs on our Fang family. Sigh!”
“Outrageous!” Gu Jin immediately bellowed, “Please rest assured, Patriarch Fang. Since this high-grade spirit stone originally belonged to your Fang family, I will naturally help you to get it back! As for those fellows who want to attack the Fang family, let’s see if they have the ability to do so!”
“If that’s the case, thank you Elder Gu Jin!” Fang Shen’s face displayed an extremely grateful expression as he bowed and thanked Gu Jin.
Actually, after capturing Qiu Chi last night and interrogating him, he knew that the high-grade spirit stone must have been auctioned off by Qiu Chi.
Although he did not know where Qiu Chi had gotten the high-grade spirit stone, he suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity.
With the enticement of the high-grade spirit stone, many people had their eyes on the Fang family. The Blood Fang Gang said that they wanted to play a double act with him, first swindling the high-grade spirit stone, then returning the two workshops to him.
But with the Blood Fang Gang’s style of doing things, they might take the opportunity to annex the Fang family! Instead of being devoured by the Blood Fang Gang, it would be better to use this opportunity to win favor by using the high-grade spirit stone.
Not only could Gu Jin appear on his behalf to dispel many people’s restless thoughts, slightly intimidate the Blood Fang Gang, and also build a closer relationship with Gu Jin. It was killing three birds with one stone!
Gu Jin naturally did not know what he was thinking, and he did not want to know either.
He didn’t even want to know if Fang Shen’s words were true or false. All he needed was for Fang Shen to say so and give him a reason to act.
That was a high-grade spirit stone. If he gave it to the sect master, wouldn’t his status in the sect move up a little?
At the same time, in Fusheng City, all the cultivation forces were rushing towards the Fang family. Wan’er, Yan’er, and Liu’er went out to play as usual.
But today, Jiang Ping, who had nothing to do, also quietly followed behind the three girls.
