Chapter 64 - Hero Fang Yuan IV

"Who told you all that I was Gu Yue Fang Yuan?"

Once Fang Yuan said that everyone became quiet.

"What?"

"He is not Fang Yuan?"

"Then he is Fang Zheng? The A grade genius?"

"What? No, clearly he's-"

Fang Yuan shot a glance at the Gu Master who was about to say that he was Fang Yuan immediately silencing him.

"Hahaha… So you are junior Fang Zheng. Sorry, you guys look so alike that we misunderstood. Sorry for disturbing your meal junior." The middle-aged rank two Gu Master caught on and immediately played along with him.

Fang Yuan finished his meal and stood up. He glanced lightly at Mo Yan, "You want to find Fang Yuan? Come with me, I'll bring you to the school hostel to look for him."

When Mo Yan heard Fang Yuan say that she immediately sighed in relief, her clothes were already drenched with cold sweat. The situation just then was too tense. A lot of Gu Masters around her had started activating their Gu, keeping it on standby. If she had said or done anything that triggered them then they would have immediately attacked her.

"Please. I will go together with you to congratulate the village hero and reward him for his service to our village!" Mo Yan said this loudly so that everyone could hear her.

"I don't see any reward. Where is the reward?" The Rank two Gu Master asked.

"My grandfather is preparing the reward as we speak." Mo Yan cursed this Gu Master inwardly as she replied.

Once outside the inn.

"You useless pieces of garbage. How could you not tell me such an important piece of information? He has been given the title of village hero. Do you know who gets such a title? Only people who have directly or indirectly saved the lives of fellow clansmen. If I had laid even a single finger on him just now then even grandfather wouldn't have been able to save me from receiving clan punishment. And yet you idiots didn't tell me such a piece of important information? Scram. Scram you idiots." Mo Yan lashed out at her servants as soon as she stepped out, driving them away.

Then she continued walking behind Fang Yuan with a dull look on her face.

"Ah!"

As she was distracted she didn't look where she was going and tripped on a stone and fell. She hurt her knees and ruined her dress due to the fall.

"Damn!" Mo Yan cursed. Nothing was going her way today.

"Miss Mo Yan, we have reached the academy. There are healing Gu Masters in the academy we can get you treated there." Fang Yuan said as he reached out his hand to help Mo Yan get up.

"Thank you. But that won't be needed, it's just a simple scratch. I should return now. I will go meet Fang Yuan another day." Mo Yan said she was mentally exhausted. What happened earlier really scared her and news of it had probably already reached her grandpa. She would probably be punished once she reaches home.

"Miss Mo Yan, I don't think that is a good idea. The academy gates are right in front of us if you don't go in and visit Fang Yuan it is quite possible that people will start spreading rumors that you purposely feel down to avoid meeting Fang Yuan and apologize to him." Fang Yuan said while indicating Mo Yan to look behind her.

Mo Yan turned her head and looked behind her. There she saw a few Gu Masters from the inn following behind them. If she didn't go into the academy then it would likely be as she heard these Gu Masters might start spreading rumors about her, while it wouldn't hurt her in any way it will reflect badly on her and possibly even the Mo clan.

But… Mo Yan looked down and saw her current state. The front side of her dress was completely ruined. Does she have to go and meet that Fang Yuan while looking so pathetic?

Sighing, she held onto Fang Yuan's outstretched hand and got up.

When Fang Yuan saw Mo Yan hold his hand an eerie glow flashed past his eyes.

"Miss Mo Yan let me give you a shoulder to help you walk." Saying so he put Mo Yan's arm around his neck and wrapped an arm around her slim waist.

Mo Yan wanted to reject him but she stopped herself. Being a Gu Master such a small injury was nothing to her. But she still wasn't sure if this was Fang Yuan or Fang Zheng. No matter who it was she currently wasn't in a position to reject either. If it was Fang Yuan then maybe this will lessen the bad impression from earlier, if it was Fang Zheng then this could bring them closer, and maybe later through her Mo Bei and Fang Zheng could become friends. That will help her Mo faction a lot.

The only thing that made her uncomfortable was that as she had just gotten back from a mission her dress was already in a bad condition and now due to her earlier fall her dress got torn in a few places and the waist area happened to be one of them as such now that Fang Yuan was holding her by the waist his hand was directly touching her bare skin. And for some reason, her body had started feeling hot all of a sudden.

"Miss Mo Yan we are here." Fang Yuan's voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

While she was not paying attention they had already crossed the dormitory gates and arrived in front of a room.

Fang Yuan stretched out his free hand, opened the lock, and pushed the door open. Then he led Gu Yue Mo Yan into the room while still holding her waist.

Mo Yan looked around and saw that it was all simple furniture. It was just the two of them there and no one else.
