Chapter 1162: Chapter 502: Fang 13 Surrenders Himself? Farewell to Spirit Nurturing Land!_2

He looked at Qi Yuan and Shen Lingfeng with some surprise in his heart.

This Qi Yuan wasn’t... a son-in-law?

When in Ninghe County, he had no special abilities and was just a cowardly and incompetent person.

But as he watched Shen Lingfeng and Qi Yuan’s positioning, it seemed that Qi Yuan was subtly the one in charge.

"Was it you who killed Old Zhong?" Qi Yuan’s gaze remained calm.

Fang Shisan looked at Qi Yuan, his eyes also calm, showing no fear of death.

"Yes," Fang Shisan answered, as he too took Qi Yuan’s measure.

"Why kill him, and what does it have to do with me?" Qi Yuan asked again.

Since he had to play the role of son-in-law Qi Yuan, he had to clear up all the grudges and debts associated with that identity.

Besides, those people who wanted to harm him, would they believe him if he said he wasn’t son-in-law Qi Yuan?

"Yes," Fang Shisan answered without hesitation.

This made Lin Qinghe on the side look on bemusedly; the dialogue between them was too odd.

It was a straightforward question and answer, with no concealment, unlike questioning a criminal but asking a subordinate.

"The reason, and... why did you turn yourself in?" Qi Yuan asked again.

"The reason..." As he mentioned it, Fang Shisan’s eyes displayed a sinister smile, "Because you don’t deserve to be alive."

Qi Yuan was stunned.

The other person seemed sincere.

But upon consideration, given the character of son-in-law Qi Yuan, he indeed did not deserve to be alive.

"As for turning myself in, I wanted to come and see you in person," Fang Shisan said calmly, his eyes carrying a strange look, "you seem a bit different from before."

"Indeed, I’m a Heavenly God descended to earth, naturally I’m different from before," Qi Yuan replied seriously.

Chen Kangbao also added from the side, "Young Master is a Heavenly God!"

Lin Qinghe wore a bemused expression on the side.

Today’s events carried an extremely strange air.

"Since you’ve... given it to someone else, you deserved to be killed!" Fang Shisan said indifferently.

Clearly, there was something he wasn’t saying.

"What was given to someone else?" Qi Yuan asked with curiosity.

Fang Shisan remained silent, not answering.

However, Qi Yuan could surmise that Fang Shisan’s words were all true.

Had son-in-law Qi Yuan... given something to someone else that led to the Guangyao Society’s retribution?

But then, why such a troublesome revenge from the Guangyao Society? Why kill Old Zhong first and then scheme against him, unless there was... something they feared?

Suddenly, Qi Yuan was slightly startled.

As he was sorting through the memories of son-in-law Qi Yuan, he shockingly found that these memories were intermittent, as if someone had erased parts.

Of course, it could also be that his portrayal was not accurate enough, and not all memories had been fully awakened.

Faced with Qi Yuan’s question, Fang Shisan was unusually silent this time.

Upon seeing this, Qi Yuan asked again, "What is the Guangyao Society?"

Fang Shisan’s calm eyes showed surprise, "You don’t know the Guangyao Society, but you know that I’m Fang Shisan from the Guangyao Society?"

He looked at Qi Yuan, his expression turning fanatical at this moment, "As night falls, all worlds will be cast into oblivion, only the Guangyao Society can guide the way!"

After speaking, blood suddenly spilled from his mouth, and the life force in his body declined.

"Did he... commit suicide?" Lin Qinghe was shockingly astonished.

This Fang Shisan from the Guangyao Society was clearly no ordinary person.

Such mental fortitude, along with the swift sword that killed Old Zhong, all indicated he was extraordinary.

And yet, he turned himself in and then committed suicide while talking.

This scene was utterly bizarre; he went in to inspect Fang Shisan’s body.

Indeed, Fang Shisan had killed himself by severing his own meridians.

"Madman, this man is a madman!" Shen Lingfeng couldn’t help but exclaim.

Suicide, that must be so painful!

He couldn’t do it.

Qi Yuan stood in the prison, deep in thought, "It seems this place has some deep waters."

The identity of this son-in-law Qi Yuan wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

Lin Qinghe stealthily glanced at Qi Yuan and for some reason, after witnessing the scene of Fang Shisan’s suicide, he felt that this Qi Yuan had become even more mysterious and elusive.

Could it be that he had misjudged him before?

After returning to Shen Mansion, Qi Yuan sat in his room with complex thoughts.

Today’s events were shrouded in numerous clouds, and he could not see through them for the moment.

"Son-in-law Qi Yuan gave something to someone else, provoking the Guangyao Society’s anger," Qi Yuan murmured to himself.

Hmm, the nose hasn’t gotten longer.

This meant his statement was correct.

Qi Yuan’s nose could detect lies, so it naturally could also test whether he was lying.

Now what Qi Yuan was testing was son-in-law Qi Yuan.

Though he lacked some of son-in-law Qi Yuan’s memories, he still counted as son-in-law Qi Yuan, and would know if he himself was lying.

Of course, this kind of test depended on his own cognition.

What he stated now, were all things son-in-law Qi Yuan had experienced.

Otherwise, by continuously judging right from wrong, he could even cheat his way into becoming a Daoist Ancestor.

"I was given it on March 11th of this year."

The nose grew longer, wrong.

"I was given it on May 16th of this year."

Wrong.

...

"I was given it on July 21st of this year."

At that moment, the nose did not grow longer.

Qi Yuan’s eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions.

"This was a few days before Son-in-law Qi Yuan returned home to offer sacrifices to his ancestors."

Qi Yuan, of course, was not just trying randomly, he was only testing those days when Son-in-law Qi Yuan’s memory was defective.

"So, on July 21st, Son-in-law Qi Yuan gave something to someone, angering Guangyao Society’s Fang Shisan, who took a risky move... to kill Qi Yuan?"

"But why didn’t he do it himself, could it be... he was trying to avoid something?"

"Ah, it’s too complicated, my brain’s starting to hurt again."

"Forget it, I can’t be bothered to think about it, just improve my strength, and once I become stronger, won’t I uncover everything?"

Qi Yuan decided not to think about these things anymore.

"Young Master, a great discovery, I’ve found... the Spirit Nurturing Land!" Just at this time, Chen Kangbao hurried back, his face full of excitement.

"Spirit Nurturing Land? Like that of Red Cloud Village?" Qi Yuan’s eyes lit up.

Qi Yuan had come to Fengshan Prefecture and was not just focused on swatting mosquitoes every day.

For him, knowledge was the primary productive force.

If he didn’t possess enough knowledge, how could he quickly find First Love to kill, no, identify high-quality First Love?

Places like the Spirit Nurturing Land of Red Cloud Village seemed easily capable of producing First Love.

"Thornblood has a Spirit Nurturing Land in Fengshan Prefecture?" Qi Yuan was surprised.

Fengshan Prefecture was not Ninghe County.

With an Earth-level Army Commander around, how could such a place for Spirit Cultivation be allowed to exist?

"There is!" Chen Kangbao eagerly said, "This old servant expended great effort to find this news!"

Chen Kangbao said, lifting his head proudly, his lips quirked as if waiting for Qi Yuan to reward and feed him steamed buns.

"You were able to find this news, and others in Fengshan Prefecture couldn’t?"

"Others might find it, but they can’t get in. That place, surrounded by a formidable array, even the Earth-level Army Commander can’t enter!" Chen Kangbao shared with Qi Yuan the information he had obtained.

"If that’s the case, it does make sense." Qi Yuan stretched lazily, "Let’s go, we’ll have a look at this Spirit Nurturing Land, I hope it doesn’t disappoint me, and brings more First Love."

He was eager to level up.

Today, having seen Fang Shisan, he smelled a whiff of danger.

The previous Son-in-law Qi Yuan obviously lived under the watchful eyes of certain people.

Everything he did, was probably being closely watched.

The current Qi Yuan, too weak, did not want to discover someone spying on him even while taking a bath.

Perhaps, right now, someone was secretly watching him.

"Today, I’ll set a grand goal!"

"To become stronger so I won’t be unknowingly spied on while bathing!"

...

Inside the Tu Mansion, the lights were dim.

The Third Young Master of the Tu family held the Light Sword in his hand, his eyes involuntarily showing admiration, "Truly... not bad at all, definitely worth a thousand taels."

Every time he used this Light Sword, he felt as if he’d become much more handsome.

However, thinking of the price of ten thousand taels for three special abilities, he felt a pang.

To be honest, he was somewhat doubtful about its authenticity.

But he dared not try it at will, after all, it was three thousand taels per use.

Just then, suddenly, the Third Young Master Tu sensed something, his expression turning solemn.

About a quarter of an hour later, the Third Young Master Tu changed into a black robe and appeared in an alley.

The alley was pitch-dark, void of any human presence.

Suddenly, a crow flew by, stopping in front of the Third Young Master Tu.

Seeing this crow, the Third Young Master Tu’s eyes showed a look of reverence.

"Greetings, Elder!"

This crow was none other than the transformed embodiment of a Thornblood Elder.

A mysterious Earth-level Army Commander.

He did not expect that this Elder would summon him.

"In a few days, I will leave Ning Country, and I need certain things, you will help me collect them... I will convert them into contributions for you."

The crow spoke, its voice hoarse.

Immediately, a stream of resources and materials were named.

The Third Young Master Tu’s complexion changed and changed again, "Elder, these things are too precious, I might not be able to afford them."

"Humph!" The crow snorted coldly, "Could it be you think... you have hidden yourself well, Third Young Master Tu?"

The Third Young Master Tu’s face changed drastically again, as he had not expected to be exposed.

"I want to see these items the day after tomorrow!"

After speaking, the crow left without another word, not giving the Third Young Master Tu a chance to retort.
