My Gu Can Cultivate on Their Own Novel - Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Dress Up Nicely

The next day.

Fang Yuan woke up early.

This was the benefit of cultivation.

As his realm increased, his spirit would recover quickly and he would not need to sleep for long.

“How should I contact the people of the Xu Manor?”

Fang Yuan held his chin and pondered.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly patted his head.

“Look at my memory, how could I have forgotten about you.”

Next, he activated his spirit essence to open his acupoints, and the Sound Transmission Gu jumped out.

Squeak!

The Sound Transmission Gu that had been neglected for a long time kept rubbing against Fang Yuan’s palm. It was very cute.

“Come, help master send a message to Vice City Lord Xu or Xu Zhiyu, tell them that I will pay them a visit later.”

Next, Fang Yuan sent a drop of liquid spirit essence to its mouth.

Squeak squeak!

The Sound Transmission Gu cried out happily, burying its tiny head and enjoying it.

Not long after, a blue light appeared on its body, as if it had already started to send a message.

Soon, the light dissipated, and it nodded towards Fang Yuan, indicating that the message had already been sent.

Fang Yuan rubbed its head with his finger, keeping it back in his acupoints and leaving the inn, walking towards the Xu Manor.

The Xu Manor was still heavily guarded.

Today, there was a new batch of guards. Just like yesterday, they did not recognize Fang Yuan.

“The Xu Manor is a very important place. Outsiders are not allowed to observe. Leave now!”

Fang Yuan smiled faintly and said, “I am the Xu family’s guardian, Fang Yuan. Your lord should have informed you.”

The guard took out a roll of paper with his portrait drawn on it. After comparing it, his expression immediately relaxed and he said respectfully, “So it’s guardian Fang. The Vice City Lord is already waiting in the hall.”

“Alright, I’ll go over.”

A guard at the side secretly tugged at his sleeve and said in a low voice, “Quickly apologize.”

The guard came to a realization and quickly said, “I’ve offended you with my tone just now. Please forgive me.”

Fang Yuan naturally wouldn’t be angry at such a small figure. He casually said, “It’s your duty. I don’t blame you.”

“Thank you for your forgiveness.”

Fang Yuan nodded slightly and walked into the Xu Manor.

“Hahaha, Fang my friend, we haven’t seen each other for a bit. Your cultivation has improved quite a bit!”

Vice City Lord Xu came up to him with a smile on his face. “Please come on in. Have a seat!”

“Vice City Lord Xu is too polite.”

“Come, serve the tea!”

Immediately, a servant girl came up with tea and snacks and placed them on the table between the two of them.

Vice City Lord Xu was as enthusiastic as ever as he pulled Fang Yuan to chat about the recent situation.

After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Fang Yuan started to talk about the reason for this trip.

“Vice City Lord Xu, I heard that you’ve encountered some trouble recently?”

“They’re just a bunch of rascals.” Vice City Lord Xu waved his hand. “Fang my friend, there’s no need to worry. I’ve already sent a large number of soldiers to guard the manor. No matter how brazen they are, they won’t dare to attack this place.”

“This can’t be a long-term plan. Speaking of which, this matter was caused by me. Why don’t you let me handle it?”

“Fang my friend, where did you get this idea from? Those guardians rebelled because of their own greed. It was also my intention to drive them to their deaths. How can I let you take the blame for someone like me?”

Vice City Lord Xu frowned and sternly refused. “If this gets out, how can I still be the Vice City Lord?”

“This…”

Fang Yuan did not expect Vice City Lord Xu’s attitude to be so unyielding, blocking this matter for him.

Vice City Lord Xu saw that Fang Yuan still wanted to speak, so he immediately interrupted. “Fang my friend, your trip to the Mystic Realm has been tough, why don’t you stay in my manor for a few days to recuperate?”

“There is an auction going on in the city, I heard that there is a Gold quality Gu worm that has attracted many foreign Gu masters.”

“They are all heroes from different paths, and there are many heaven’s chosen disciples from large sects. If you are interested, you can get to know them.”

Fang Yuan was very interested.

But he did not have any thoughts towards the so-called heroes and heaven’s chosen disciples, nor did he want to get to know them.

What he cared about was that gold quality Gu worm.

An auction in a place as big as Fanshu City was definitely not small in scale.

Such a grand finale Gu worm must have a very strong ability, right?

Fang Yuan instantly had the intention to take it.

He still had a lot of primeval stones on hand.

He did not use most of the cultivation resources that the Xu clan gave him.

He could sell them all and exchange them for primeval stones to use as auction chips.

He estimated that he should be able to get around 200,000.

He didn’t know if it was enough.

“Vice City Lord Xu, when will the auction be held?”

“It starts tomorrow and will last for three days.”

Vice City Lord Xu smiled as he took out a token and handed it to Fang Yuan. “If you are interested, you can use this token to enter the auction venue.”

Fang Yuan didn’t stand on ceremony and directly accepted it. After all, he really needed this.

He took the token and used his spirit essence to examine it. The scene of the auction immediately appeared in his mind, as well as where he should sit.

After checking, he knew that his seat was at the ninth row, near the corner.

There were only ten rows in total.

Vice City Lord Xu knew that he had already learnt where he should sit. Although Fang Yuan did not show any displeasure on his face, he still explained.

“This auction is very huge, and the owner behind it is extremely powerful. With my ability, I can only get this position. Fang my friend, don’t despise this old man for being useless, haha.”

Fang Yuan smiled. “I’m already satisfied just to be able to go in and see it. The position isn’t important.”

At this moment, two guards suddenly walked in from outside.

“Reporting to the Vice City Lord, the City Lord has something important to discuss and invites you to the City Lord’s main hall for a chat.”

“Got it.”

Vice City Lord Xu turned to look at Fang Yuan, his gaze peaceful. “Fang my friend, I still have some matters to settle, so I’ll take my leave first. Later, I’ll get my daughter to show you around the city. If you have anything you want to buy, just let me pay for it.”

“Vice City Lord, you’re too polite. I’ll just walk around by myself. I won’t trouble her to come.”

Fang Yuan always felt that Vice City Lord Xu had some ulterior motive, but he didn’t have any hostility. It was strange, so he directly rejected him.

Vice City Lord Xu hurriedly said, “There are many small alleys in Fanshu City, so I accidentally took a wrong path once. Coincidentally, my daughter has been staying at home for a long time recently, and has been saying that she wants to go out to play. With you by her side, I feel at ease.”

As he said this, he turned his head to look at Butler He.

“Go, inform miss to dress up more beautifully.”

“Yes.”

The butler acknowledged the order and left.

“…”

Fang Yuan’s expression suddenly became interesting.

He seemed to know what Vice City Lord Xu wanted to do….
