Chapter 36: Chapter 36 - Separation I
After getting his jar of wine Fang Yuan started walking towards the village exit. He was planning on how to resolve the problem of feeding his Gu worms soon to come, once he got his hands on the Gu worms in the Flower Wine Monk's inheritance this was starting to give him a headache.
It was at that moment, the voice of Gu Yue Fang Zheng called out to him from behind. "Brother, you did go to the tavern and buy alcohol! Follow me, aunt and uncle want to see you."
Fang Yuan stopped in his tracks and turned around. He found his younger brother was no longer like before the awakening ceremony, always lowering his head as he spoke. Right now the two brothers gazed at each other face to face.
While Fang Yuan was looking at his younger brother with an expressionless face inside he was face-palming. 'Carp. I completely forgot about this little episode.' He did not have time for this right now his schedule was full of things that he had carefully planned out to do.
As such Fang Yuan turned around and continued walking towards the exit of the village, he thought that if he ignored this fool then it will leave him. But clearly, he thought wrong, because the next moment Fang Zheng caught his arm and pulled him back.
In irritation, Fang Yuan turned back and wanted to say to Fang Zheng to let go, but at that moment Fang Yuan felt it or more like smelt it, the unbearable and extremely foul smell coming from Fang Zheng. As such in the next second Fang Yuan violently yanked his arm out of Fang Zheng's grasp and jumped ten chi back, thereafter he unsealed the jar and drank a mouthful of wine and used it to rinse his mouth after which he drank another mouthful and swallowed it.
Looking at his actions Fang Zheng was badly shocked, he frowned, took a step forward, and called out "Big Brother, you-"
But Fang Yuan immediately used his sleeves to cover his nose and mouth. "Stay back don't come near me." Fang Yuan said "You want me to go meet Uncle and Aunt right? Okay, I will go meet them."
Saying that Fang Yuan immediately walked past Fang Zheng with big steps.
Looking at his big brother's actions Fang Zheng was first confused. But when he later saw Fang Yuan covering his nose and mouth with his sleeve he was rudely shocked, because at that moment he understood what his actions meant. Once it hit him what it meant his face twisted like an ugly demon's and his eyes went bloodshot. He was nearly driven mad due to the sudden surge of anger inside him right there and then, but he somehow controlled it.
'What do you mean by covering your nose and mouth? Is my breath that smelly? Even if it is smelly you must endure it. No one in the academy reacted like that yet you a fallen genius dared to act like that in front of an A-grade talent like me? How dare you?'
Fang Zheng had already noticed it in the academy whenever the other students talked with him they would keep their distance, at first a few girls even approached him but later they stopped and none would approach him. Even when guys talked to him they would do so from a distance.
This was somewhat tolerable to Fang Zheng. But Fang Yuan's actions were intolerable, completely intolerable. Others may do so, but not him.
Not his elder brother.
......
The sunset was a red hue setting over the east.
The sky was still bright, but everything seemed to be covered by a shade of gray. Overlooking the window, the mountains in the distance were gradually drawing towards a heavy black color.
The light in the living room was dim. Aunt and Uncle sat high in their chairs, their faces enveloped in shadow, their expressions hard to discern.
As he saw Fang Yuan carrying a jar of wine, his Uncle Gu Yue Dong Tu's eyebrows twisted into a knot. He opened his mouth and spoke, "In the blink of an eye, you are both 15 years old now. Since you both have the talents of a Gu Master, especially Fang Zheng, your aunt and I are proud of both of you. I will give you both 6 pieces of primeval stones, take it. Refining your Gu consumes a lot of primeval essences, so you'll need these primeval stones."
As he said this, some servants came over and passed Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng each a small bag.
Fang Yuan took his bag silently.
Soon after some meaningless banter, his Uncle reached the main topic, he said, "I have discussed this with your aunt. We thought of adopting you both and become a genuine, real family. Fang Zheng, I wonder if you are willing?"
Fang Yuan thought 'And here it is. Now to see if the idiotic monkey will take the bait-'
And as predicted, he soon heard Fang Zheng's voice saying, "To be honest, ever since both my parents died I have longed very much for a family of my own. To be able to become a family with Aunt and Uncle, this is too good to be true!"
When he heard this Fang Yuan wanted to turn around give the monkey a bright smile and start clapping, applauding the monkey for its excellent performance, after all this monkey was such a good and well-behaved monkey, all you had to do was give it a banana and this money will dance to your tune.
Aunt's expression loosened and she laughed, "Then you are our good son, shouldn't you stop calling us Aunt and Uncle?"
"Father, Mother." Fang Zheng in a state of realization changed his statement.
Aunt and Uncle laughed heartily. "What a good son, not a waste of us husband and wife to raise you since you were five years-"
Puke.
Unable to control himself Fang Yuan threw up.
Looking at Fang Yuan throw up just as he was passionately talking about becoming one family, Gu Yue Dong Tu's eyes twitched.
"Sorry." Fang Yuan apologized and gestured for his Uncle to continue.
A servant soon came in and cleaned up the mess.
Gu Yue Dong Tu cleared his throat and asked Fang Yuan, "Fang Yuan, what about you?"
Fang Zheng held his breath, on one hand, he didn't want his brother to agree as he was afraid that he may steal his Aunt and Uncle's love again but on the other hand, he wanted him to agree as this way he would have the chance to plot and crush his elder brother as they would be living under the same roof.
Fang Yuan simply shook his head.
"If that's the case, Fang Yuan my nephew, we won't force you. Since you are already old enough, you need to start being independent, this way you will also easily carry on your Fang bloodline. Uncle here has prepared 200 primeval stones for you as financial support."
Fang Yuan shook his head and got up.
"Aunt and Uncle. If there is nothing else, then your nephew will take his leave" Fang Yuan did not give them any chance to speak again. After he finished his sentence he took his wine jar and left the hall immediately. But looking at his retreating figure why did it seem like he was fleeing from something?
Fang Zheng who was sitting beside Fang Yuan clenched his fists in hatred when he saw this because he knew, that he was the reason that Fang Yuan was in such a hurry to leave. Once Fang Yuan left Fang Zheng immediately turned and asked his 'Mother'.
"Mother, can I get a new servant, please? I don't want the Old Granny to be my attendant anymore."
Listening to Fang Zheng's simple request, Uncle smiled and was about to answer but Aunt beat him to it.
"No, Zheng. Old Granny should follow you for now. She has promised me that she will properly look after you and also monitor your progress in cultivation." Aunt replied.
