2024-10-29 19:42:56"Lunch time?, So Young Master Chang ye should be coming soon" Gu Lin Fang says slowly while closing the book on Balki's zombie refining and Rubbing his temple with a frown.
At this time, He was back in his peak state, His overdrawn Qi had been silently replenished as he waited in the inbuilt study.
Although he had taken a few pills and elixirs, it wasn't enough to replenish his massive qi reserve. So instead of taking a higher grade or expensive pill to quickly solve the issue.
He chose to slowly recover in his new study. Took the whole morning, but on the bright side, he was able to do a more in-depth planning on what to do in the future.
Especially now that the system had given him a quest to join the game before the official release date.
How to go about it? He had no idea...
He, an unremarkable NPC that didn't show up during the Alpha testing nor the beta tests, had to think of a way to join the game.
"What does that really mean?"
So he thought about it, the situation of the with the Gu clan was more or less his generic or basic background and he believes that this might not be enough, based on the new quest given to him by the system.
What was he lacking compared to what most villains in web novels or other video games?...
A grandiose or mysterious background and most of all reputation...
So he came to one conclusion, "I think I need to do something crazy!!".
Thus, Gu Lin Fang finished preparing a plan that would be in stages, the first stage has to be something that would bring a lot of recognition and mystery, enough for the game to acknowledge his presence before the official release.

Meanwhile, As Gu Lin Fang was thinking, Young Master Chang ye climbed onto one of the two carriages that had been stationed in front of Changfeng Merchant gates.
The remaining one was, of course, for the guest who showed earlier today.
Young Master Chang ye stares at it for a second before shaking his head, reminding himself that things were going to get messy soon, so he needs to finish with Master Gu and leave for the family land soon.
The carriage passed through a long corridor before coming out on the open road...
twenty something minutes later He noticed through his curtains, that there was a lot more Yanmen officers patrolling the streets.
But soon, he placed it at the back of his mind, upon noticing that they were close to the new Gu clan residence.
The mansion was now filled with life compared to earlier today, There were guards and a few servants busying about in a hurry. Almost all were dressed in neat uniforms...
"Young Master, we're here."
Jan, his most trusted subordinate placed a small staircase at the entrance of the carriage, helping to prevent Chang ye from stepping on the footsteps of his clothes.
When he got out of the carriage, one of the servants of the Gu mansion came to direct him towards the back garden.
The garden was still taking shape but there was a lot of medicinal plants present there that was enough to make Chang ye swallow hard.
There was a magic lamp ready at the center of the garden, should the day go dark. Gu Lin Fang had just finished making an alchemy array and was now busy transplanting.
Although the mansion lacked natural resources, it didn't mean he couldn't slowly cultivate it.
Young Master Chang ye entered the garden, standing in place, so as not to disturb Gu Lin Fang.
A servant silently brought a seat and urged him to sit down with an awkward smile.
No one said anything to disturb Gu Lin Fang, before long a servant girl quickly brought some tea for Chang ye to drink.
Things became silent for a while as young Master Chang ye stared at his tea.
'Spirit tea?... Impossible!' having his heart shaken, Chang ye began to reassess everything he knows.
It has to be known that only the upper echelons of the Chang clan, had the permission to use This and it isn't brought out casually.
Judging from the way Gu Lin Fang brought it out to serve him, it probably doesn't mean anything to this Gu clan.
In fact this wasn't the first thing that shocked him.
Earlier, if the servant hadn't pointed, he couldn't see Gu Lin Fang in the garden at All. So Chang ye found the whole thing strange.
Suddenly, He perceived the smell of {Blue heart flower} in the garden.
It was the scent of a rare alchemy ingredient, whose value was difficult to describe.
This is because it could only be found in the forbidden ground known as the Valley of ice located in the central plains. With this alone you can imagine how rare and expensive it was in the Northern desert.
'Is he from the central plains?.' Chang ye couldn't help being curious and shocked.
Young Master Chang ye couldn't hold it in anymore, "Master Gu, such a thing... you want to put it in your back garden?!!".
[Ding!]
[+2 Notoriety]
Gu Lin Fang's actions paused with a stoic expression as he looked at Chang ye.
'er... could it be that, this is really expensive?...I only pulled it as it was one of the blue grade materials...'
But his expression was translated diffrently again, to Young Master Chang ye, it looked like a 'So what?'.
Chang turns his head and looks at his man strangely, only to find out Jan's shocked gaze was also on him.
Soon they turned their eyes away from each other at the same time as if they had practiced before now.
Gu Lin Fang stares at them for a moment before attempting to plant it again.
"Wait!, Master Gu!... how about you sell this to me?" Young Master Chang ye called out once again.
Seeing this, Gu Lin Fang frowned slightly, but didn't say much.
"Hmm, that isn't a problem, but I need it for a very important elixir..."
Chang ye paused and didn't know what to say, it's obvious from Gu Lin Fang's expression that he was just trying to get a good price.
Gu Lin Fang then nonchalantly stood up after putting the medicinal plant back in his spatial ring and chose to return to the main house.
His steps were slow but Chang ye lost sight of him a few times, like he automatically forgot about Gu Lin Fang from time to time. If he didn't focus, he would loose sight.
All this shocked Chang ye and Jan, they had serious expression on their faces as they followed silently.
As Chang ye tries to open his mouth and say something to Gu Lin Fang, the latter's hands moved.
Glug!
The words that were about to leave his mouth came to a halt.
"How about I auction it off and see!" Chang ye notices Gu Lin Fang's expression, that says he was lost in thought and shuts up with an awkward cough.
He couldn't tell why he was so intimidated by Gu Lin Fang's presence everytime.
Lunch started in silence, soon after they were served appetizers. As Chang ye barely spoke, Gu Lin Fang looked at him briefly.
'what's wrong with him now?' Gu Lin Fang's gaze turned towards Jan as well, it was then he noticed the same expression.
'What's up with them?...or could it be the traits or something?' He quickly came up with an answer and decided to free them from their situation, "What do you think?."
Young Master Chang ye looks at Gu Lin Fang as soon as he realizes it's a question directed at him.
"I don't see why not." After a few moments of hesitation, Chang ye adds a relaxed smile and said "as long as I get priority the next time."
Gu Lin Fang's eyes smiled alongside his lips as he said, "interesting..."

Once they had an agreement, young Master Chang ye handed Gu Lin Fang a spatial ring."All the materials you requested are in here, including the information on the Wu and Lu clans...as for..." Chang ye paused to see Gu Lin Fang's reaction but there was nothing, absolutely no change.'could it be that, the Gu clan in the {Sand Desert faction} was a branch family?...no that's also impossible'. While thinking this way, He explained to Gu Lin Fang, "The Gu clan members were found entering through the city gates at about a week ago but they went missing in the slums".This surprised Gu Lin Fang, so he asked with a rather dangerous looking smile, "How many?""18"This time Gu Lin Fang stood up calmly while stroking his short beard, with his other arm behind him, "So your saying, 18 people just disappeared suddenly?""...""Incredible, Iron Crow

Both Patriarchs were chained thoroughly and left to suffer through the burning effects of the poison in their system. "It's done, Lord Patriarch" 'Xu Wu Qong' says with a light smile. Unsurprisingly, Gu Lin Fang nodded briefly before asking, "what did you feel, seeing your family again?". "Disgust..." Such was the answer that came out without hesitation. Unable to hold back, Gu Lin Fang's laughter dripped with obvious sarcasm, "hahaha... Disgust?... hahaha".

Stupid b*tch forced me to use my escape talisman! Just you wait!"This cream robed teen was obviously Sun Wu Tang, his voice was now hoarse, and couldn't help wondering why he had run a away so desperately in the first place."I don't understand why she hates me so much, I only said a few words, but that b*tch chased me for so long, f*ck I don't even know... wait, what if she comes again?!"."No I already called Deacon Du over...no!
