Chapter 62 - Hero Fang Yuan II

The eyes of the academy elder who was watching everything from above twitched.

'This kid is atrocious. He actually had his woman fight against the rest of the class and extort primeval stones for him. But these girls seem to be even better at fighting than the boys. I heard from the guards that these girls would come every morning to learn martial arts from Fang Yuan.'

The academy elders' eyes shined when he thought of this.

'So not only is this lad naturally gifted in combat, but he can also teach others to fight well? If it is so then this guy is truly a priceless treasure. Up until now, I considered his value to be less than Fang Zheng's but if it turns out that he is also a naturally gifted combat teacher then his value may be the same as Fang Zheng's.'

While talent like Fang Zheng's is needed to lead the clan as a whole, a talent like Fang Yuan's which can improve the fighting talent of others and improve their chances of survival will strengthen the clan as a whole. Such talents are just as rare as Fang Zheng's A-grade talent maybe even rarer.

'I need to observe the girls from now on and see if there is any progress in their martial arts. If there is then I need to report this to the clan leader too.'

...…

"I have trained hard in basic martial arts for seven consecutive days, but to think I only managed to endure a few strikes and lost consciousness. And that too against a girl. Shame, unforgivable shame!" Gu Yue Mo Bei exclaimed, full of anguish and regret.

In the family garden, he faced the wooden puppet, unleashing punches and kicks that were resulting in resounding echoes.

Suddenly, he heard a laughing voice. "Little brother, do you have a deep hatred for the puppet? Why the great resentment?"

Upon hearing this familiar voice, Gu Yue Mo Bei relaxed and stopped his attacks. He turned his head. "Sister, you're back!"

"Haha… Yes-" Gu Yue Mo Yan laughingly replied, she was about to continue, but soon her face turned grim, her eyes sharply gazing at Mo Bei. "Brother, what's the matter with those bruises on your face? Who bullied you?"

"Ah, it's nothing. I accidentally tripped and fell." A hint of panic flashed across Mo Bei's face as he came up with an excuse. He did not wish for his sister to know of such an embarrassing event of him being beaten up by a girl.

"Oh, you have to be more careful in that case." Gy Yue Mo Yan said before leaving.

...…

Inside Gu Yue Mo Chen's study.

"The wolves den is almost full, so according to the current rate of breeding speed, although there won't be an outbreak this year, there will definitely be a wolf tide next year at our mountain village."

"Generally there's an outbreak every 3 years, so this is no surprise. However, within that hoard, how many Thunder Crown Wolves are there?" Gu Yue Mo Chen enquired.

"Around three."

Gu Yue Mo Chen nodded, feeling assured.

After finishing her report, Gu Yue Mo Yan asked, "Grandfather, little brother was beaten up! I asked him and he lied about the situation, so I have no choice but to ask you."

"I suppose there is no harm in telling you. Yes, he was beaten up. The first was seven days ago by and the second time today. It happened in front of the school gates, and he was beaten until he sprawled on the ground and fainted on both occasions." Gu Yue Mo Chen laughingly replied.

"Who has the guts to knock out my little brother?" Mo Yan stared, wide-eyed.

"He's a classmate of Mo Bei called Fang Yuan. The first time he was beaten by Fang Yuan and the second time by a girl who was trained by Fang Yuan." Gu Yue Mo Chen sniggered.

Gu Yue Mo Yan's eyes grew larger, and she was perplexed as she replied, "Grandfather, why are you laughing? He is your blood-related grandson!"

Gu Yue Mo Chen stared deeply at his granddaughter and spoke meaningfully, "Mo Yan my dear, you are a girl so you may not understand. Defeat and humiliation only serve as fuel for improvement. Without failure, one can never develop and grow into a truly mature man."

"Mo Bei was defeated, and that is his failure. Once he wakes up, he will ask about fighting techniques from the teachers. This is a sort of improvement, and this improvement comes from Fang Yuan, who beat him into realization. As his sister, if you really care and want to protect your brother, you should not interfere with his growth. Fang Yuan is just a boy with C grade talent while Mo Bei has B grade talent. With us supporting him, he will step over Fang Yuan and drive him into the ground eventually."

"Leave this opponent to Mo Bei. In a woman's life, she needs a family and a lover. But for a man, a family is not a necessity, yet what he cannot lack is a rival. Do not find trouble with Fang Yuan, do you hear me? This is a matter between the youths. If you get involved, this will be perceived as bullying. Breaking the rules like that will cause our Mo family to be looked down upon."

Mo Yan staggered out of the study room.

"Grandfather, this is your way of loving your grandson. And I, Mo Yan, have my own methods." Mo Yan's heart already had different plans.

...…

In the inn's dining room, several tables were occupied and people were having dinner, thus the environment was rather lively. One or two served dishes rapidly, traversing between tables.

Fang Yuan sat at the table near the windows. He ordered a few dishes and ate while gazing out of the window.

"Haha, Gu Yue Fang Yuan, I have finally found you!" At this moment a middle-aged man laughed deviously as he approached.

Fang Yuan turned around to see a man with huge body size and developed muscles.

"Fang Yuan, you have gotten yourself into huge trouble, do you know that? Heh heh heh, you have dared to hit our young master of the Mo family, and now our young Miss is here to settle the score with you." The middle-aged man snickered continuously. He constantly stared and sized up Fang Yuan, faintly emitting a threatening aura.
