My Gu Can Cultivate on Their Own

Chapter 107: Summoned For The Investigation

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Arriving at the inn, Fang Yuan realized that the Martial Uncle Wan Qian mentioned was not the examiner, but a court elder in the inner sect who specialized in handling information collection.

This court was not to be trifled with, since it was under the jurisdiction of the sect master. He was the only one who could handle it.

Even though they only did some investigation and tracking, and most of the Gu worms they used were support type, there were still countless inner sect disciples who fought for the right to join the court.

They would be following Gu Zhenren, so it sounded like they had a bright future ahead of them!

Even if they were a support Gu master, they would have a better trump card than most of the inner sect disciples.

It seemed like Gu Zhenren already new about this matter, and he had sent professional staff to investigate.

And it seemed to be very important, since he directly sent the consular elder to personally investigate.

There were even two enforcement disciples from the reward and punishment hall beside the elder. Their strength was tyrannical. They should be cooperating in the investigation.

Fang Yuan did not panic at all. He strode forward and greeted them.

“Fellow disciples, I heard that you were looking for me?”

“That’s right.”

The elder seemed to know Fang Yuan, so he straightforwardly stated his purpose of coming. “I was asked by Junior Wang to investigate the death of Zhang Wenbin. I heard that you were the only witness, right?”

His face was solemn. He did not give Fang Yuan a good look just because he was Gu Zhenren’s personal disciple. He had a business-like look and did not seem to be easy to get along with.

Fang Yuan did not care and nodded lightly.

Then, that person asked about Zhang Wenbin, focusing on the content that Fang Yuan overheard when he eavesdropped on Zhang Wenbin’s conversation on the flower boat that day.

Fang Yuan omitted the part of the conversation that Bai Yao had with him, and told the rest.

After the elder heard it, his face revealed a thoughtful look.

“So, Zhang Wenbin made some kind of deal with the Gu Demon Sect… he used his position in this mission to seek benefits…”

“But if his motive was determined by greed… It doesn’t make sense. In the past, although Zhang Wenbin was a little arrogant in the sect, he was born in a prestigious clan and didn’t lack cultivation resources. It doesn’t make sense for him to take such a big risk for Gu worms that are the specialty of the Gu

Demon Sect.”

Fang Yuan frowned slightly. “Elder, could it be that you suspect that I’m lying?”

“I didn’t say that, but…”

The elder paused and shook his head. “Martial Nephew Fang, you had some enmity with Zhang Wenbin before, and it even reached the point of a life-and-death battle. Now, as the only witness, you can’t get rid of the suspicion with just a few words, can you?”

‘Hmm?

‘What did that mean?’

‘Could it be that because I have a grudge against Zhang Wenbin, what I said cannot be used as evidence?”

‘It seems that this person has other motives.’

Fang Yuan snorted and said lazily, “In that case, I wish that Elder can find the truth as soon as possible. I still have to rush back to the sect to report. Goodbye!”

The elder frowned slightly and did not stop him.

However, the two disciples of the reward and punishment hall stepped forward at the same time and blocked Fang Yuan’s way.

“Junior Fang, this matter is of great importance. Please come with us to the reward and punishment hall.”

Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes. “What? Do you want to detain me?”

The disciple who spoke did not deny it and replied, “This mission was personally ordered by the sect master. I hope you can cooperate.”

“Do you have a warrant from Master to detain me?”

“The… sect master has already given us full authority to handle this matter…”

“Do you have Master’s warrant?”

“No…”

“Very good.”

Fang Yuan sneered. “Then, if I don’t cooperate, what can you do?”

It was not that he did not have a temper. Even if they were fellow disciples of the same sect, he would not give them a good look if they were so aggressive.

Taking a step back, he was not the one who killed Zhang Wenbin to begin with. Even he was curious as to why Zhang Wenbin would collude with the people from the Gu Demon Sect.

Even if he followed them to the reward and punishment hall, it would be useless. They would not be able to find anything at all.

He did not want to waste time on such a matter.

The faces of the two disciples turned dark. They seemed to be ready to take forceful measures.

‘Wan Qian, who was waiting at the door, couldn’t stand it any longer and immediately went forward to stop them.

“You have no evidence, so what right do you have to detain him?”

The person was stunned and looked at Wan Qian, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise. “Junior, you are…”

Her face was cold as she said indifferently, “Inner sect, Wan Qian.”

“So it’s Junior Wan. I’ve long heard of your name. Today, I finally get to meet you.

“Cut the crap.”

‘Wan Qian did not give him any face. “What do you want to do to Senior Fang?”

The Gu Immortal Sect was a place where strength and status were divided by seniority, and Fang Yuan had already surpassed her in terms of cultivation level, so she naturally had to address him as her senior.

Because he did not care about how she usually addressed him, now that she was facing outsiders, she had to pay more attention.

The other party sighed. “We are not intentionally making things difficult for Junior Fang. The sect master wants to investigate this matter thoroughly, so if we do not question him clearly, we will not be able to explain things properly.”

Fang Yuan looked at them indifferently. “I’ll go to Master and explain the situation. There’s no need for you to worry.”

“Then why don’t the few of us go together?”

The elder said in a low voice, “There are very few clues to this matter. If we can listen to Junior Fang’s detailed description, it might be of some help to the case.”

“As you wish.”

Fang Yuan walked out.

‘Wan Qian slowly followed. “Junior… do you need my help?”

“There’s no need, Senior.”

Fang Yuan’s expression softened, and he gave her a smile. “Aren’t you going back to the capital? Hurry up and go. Don’t delay the trip.”

“But you…”

“Don’t worry. No matter what I say, I’m still Master’s disciple. In his heart, no matter what, I’m more important than Zhang Wenbin, right?”

‘Wan Qian knew what he meant, but she was still a little worried.

However, at this time, the elder and the two disciples of the reward and punishment hall had already walked out.

“Martial Nephew Fang, shall we leave now?”

Fang Yuan nodded slightly and patted Wan Qian’s back as if he was comforting her. Then, he followed them in the direction of the courier station.

“Senior, remember to rest for two days before you set off to make up for the loss of spirit essence. Have a safe journey!”

‘Wan Qian was startled.

Hearing the concerned words in the voice transmission, she couldn’t help but feel a warmth in her heart that was like snow melting in spring.

“Junior…”

Just as she was hesitating whether or not to follow him back to the sect, a Spirit Gu flew over from the distant sky and landed on her shoulder.

This was a communication Gu that could transmit messages from thousands of miles away.

‘Wan Qian put the Gu into her acupoints and after obtaining the contents, her expression changed slightly. She immediately changed directions and rode the Flying Sword Gu into the sky, flying towards the direction of the capital.
