Re-life: Life as a demon patriarch

Chapter 20: The Young legends Ranking list

Back in the Gu clan's study.

Gu Lin Fang's face was filled with smiles as he thought, ' good I can finally go and finish my Zombie puppet.

Wait!, What if she only has a problem with her cultivation and...'.

"Ju'er, How's your progress?!" He quickly asked the girl.

"You only want to check my progress in

cultivation?" Gu Linju asked speechlessly before pouting as she watched her old man's

Excited expression.

She really couldn't connect him with a devil cultivator who would tread the sky

Raining terror.

"Hmph father really doesn't trust me, your pills were really good, won't you at least trust your work?!" She spoke with a displeased tone.

"... this" Gu Lin Fang was dazed, 'I really wouldn't know, I really haven't made a single pill in my two lives.

More than that, did she suddenly become whiny?'

For some reason, he couldn't help shuddering.

He looked at his daughter incredulously and noticed she was indeed at the foundation establishment stage with both Qi and body, so he snorted and said,

"Hmph! Little Brat, your

father isn't going to talk nonsense with you today, come circle your cultivation method lemme see."

A thick blood like gas oozed out of her body and danced in an eerie manner.

'Incredible, judging from the thickness...it should be at least level 5 now.

And she must have gotten to that level because the skill was imprinted into her mind immediately.

How envious, she could cultivate the whole day...well I have to factor in, her previous experience as well' Gu Lin Fang stroked his short beard while walking around her.

"good job!" He praised generously.

' She must have a [Genius] or [Prodigy] trait'.

"Thank you, Father." Gu Lin Ju says, using a more respectful tone.

'That's Good, now my refining can continue'.

While Gu Lin Fang was thinking, Gu Lin Ju suddenly remembered something, "Err...Father, Gu Li Cheng is still waiting outside".

"oh? Let's go... we're going to finish the refining", Gu Linju paled upon hearing his words but didn't have any other reaction, but Gu Lin Fang saw it all and added as he pushed the door open, "I'll show you something interesting."

"Greetings Uncle Lin Fang!" Gu Li Cheng calmly cups his fist with a smile and bowed.

Inwardly Gu Li Cheng wasn't so calm though, ' How can they change so much?!!, Even Cousin Ju'er changed.

She now gives off the same feeling those noble clan's young elites give off'.

"Ah...Li Cheng, you too come along as well", Gu Lin Fang glanced at his side and says casually.

He then pull up his general status screen.

Somewhat satisfied, The old monster, Gu Lin Fang was comforted by the changes he made since the last time he checked.

He then remembered the technique of the Li branch and asked Li Cheng "Your Myriad Transformation

Spear arts, how far have you gone?" 

Gu Li Cheng nervously looked at Lin Fang, "I apologize uncle but I am not as talented as Li Mei... please forgive..."

Gu Lin Fang's feet came to a halt and couldn't help muttering, "That's not right, If I remember correctly. It's a technique of the Yang attribute and Li Mei..."

He hummed softly and continued moving, "I guess we'll know later".

"Uncle Lin Fang, have you heard? Rumor has it that Sima Yan who is said to be the strongest heroic swordsman in the Northern desert is in [Iron Crow city] and would be attending the auction.

It's said that only he alone can stand against the Four great Disciples of Master Shen Zhi Yang without suffering a loss!" Gu Li Cheng chattered with dreamy eyes while following behind Gu Lin Fang.

The latter's eyes flashed with a dangerous glint, his hands behind him as he let out an 'oh?'.

"Pff...Sima Yan? Brother Li Cheng, look at how excited you are over a common commoner.

Most times, it's all blown out of proportion by peasants" Gu Linju let's out a snort while stroking her plum blossom umbrella.

Gu Lin Fang's steps remained unchanged as he mouths, "A strong commoner... killing such a hero would be worth a lot of reputation points"

To him, This was just like a situation where fighters go after a gangster with some reputation in the streets as they hope to make a name for themselves by beating or killing him.

"If I say I admire, would you

believe it?" Gu Li Cheng wryly smiled, He was still bickering with Gu Linju.

Gu Linju had a "what a fool

" look on her face while staring at Gu Li Cheng and The latter had an "it's only natural" look while staring at the leading Gu Lin Fang.

After a while, Gu Lin Fang waved his hand without any other choice,

"Ju'er as evil cultivators, we are full of lies, but you can't lie to yourself. 

There's nothing wrong in acknowledging and admiring the strong...".

Gu Linju scrunched up her nose before saying a reluctant "Yes father".

'Looks like her increased cultivation made her arrogant again.

Fine, am I not arrogant as well hehehe... let's just help her develope a good trait that would keep her alive' Gu Lin Fang then nonchalantly said to Li Cheng,

 "Although it is good to admire others, nothing is more precious than the power you hold in your hands".

"Thank you, Uncle!"

"Are there any news I would want to hear?".

Gu Li Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, there's something called the 'Young legends ranking list'.

It's a ranking list of all the young heroes in Jianghu, Ranging from the age of 14-25 and it's usually decided during the annual Dragon Tiger arena competition.

As a matter of fact uncle, it's only a week away".

He excitedly spoke about the arena rules of [Iron Crow City].

Gu Lin Fang, for the first time, felt like things were becoming clearer.

"Good, then I will ask you one thing, do you think this competition is related to the building chaos that's happening in the city?" Gu Lin Fang gazed at Li Cheng with a smile that wasn't a smile. 

"It's very possible" Gu Linju answered from the side.

"It's possible but I have to get more information on the matter, it's just that the Ye and the Xu clan's are about to go on a full blown war against the Mu Bang(Tomb Gang)." Li Cheng thought for a moment and replied as he felt like his uncle was testing him.

"Oh, this little smelly brat has such arrogant tone. With this confidence, perhaps you could even first place no?" Gu Lin Fang was calm on the surface, but his heart was bulging with excitement.

[Side Quest: help Your daughter Gu Linju get into the top ten of Young legends ranking.

Reward: a chance to edit your individual story(Green).

Blue grade equipment× 1]

"Of course..." She answered with an implication that it was in her grasp.

'This little devil' Gu Lin Fang thought with a chuckle as he twisted the torch on the wall.

The entrance to the basement opened and Gu Li Cheng's voice came from the side "Ah Uncle Lin Fang, there's something I don't understand.

What did you mean by ' us Evil cultivators'? ".

The temperature of the surrounding chilled as a thick blood colored Qi spread from Gu Lin Fang's body, great pressure pressed down on Gu Li Cheng alone.

Seeing Gu Li Cheng fall to his knees, Gu Lin Fang only uttered stressed out "Ooh??".
