drift away

The red sun is setting in the west, but it has not completely set yet.

The sky still has light, but everything seems to be covered in a layer of gray. Looking through the window, the distant mountains are gradually approaching the heavy black.

The living room was dimly lit, with uncles and aunts sitting high in the main seats, their faces and expressions shrouded in a layer of shadow, making it difficult to see clearly.

Seeing the two jars of wine that Fang Yuan brought with him, Uncle Gu Yue's frozen soil furrowed his brow. He spoke up, "Time flies, you are already fifteen years old. Surprisingly, you all have the qualifications of a sorcerer, especially Fang Zheng. Uncle and Aunt are proud of you. I will give each of you six yuan stones, and you two brothers can take them. Refining the sorcerer insects consumes a lot of real yuan, and you need these yuan stones

Speaking of which, a servant came over and handed a small bag to each of the two brothers Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng.

Fang Yuan put away the bag and remained silent.

Fangzheng immediately opened the bag and saw six oval gray white elemental stones inside. Suddenly, a grateful expression appeared on his face. He stood up from his seat and bowed to his uncle and aunt, saying, "Thank you, uncle and aunt. My nephew needs Yuan Shi to supplement his true Yuan. You have raised my nephew so much, and I will never forget the kindness of raising him

Uncle smiled and nodded.

Auntie quickly waved her hand and said gently to Fang Fang, "Sit down, sit down. Although you two are not our biological children, we have always raised you as our own sons. We are proud that you have achieved success. Alas, we have no children under our knees, and sometimes we wonder if you could really become our children

This statement has a profound meaning, but Fang Yuan didn't hear it, but he furrowed his brow slightly.

Sure enough, my uncle continued, "I have discussed with your aunt and we want to adopt you into our family and become a real family. Fangzheng, I wonder if you are willing or not

Fang Zheng paused for a moment, but soon a look of joy appeared on his face as he agreed, "To be honest, ever since my parents passed away, my nephew has been longing for a day of family reunion. It's great to be able to become a family with my uncle and aunt

Auntie's expression relaxed and she smiled, "So you're our well behaved son. Do you still call yourself uncle or aunt

Father, mother, "Fang Zheng suddenly changed his words.

My uncle and aunt all laughed heartily.

Good son, it's not a waste for us husband and wife to raise you since you were five years old, but we have raised you for ten whole years. "Auntie wiped away her tears.

My uncle looked at the silent Fang Yuan and said gently, "Fang Yuan, where are my intentions

Fang Yuan shook his head and remained silent.

Brother. "Gu Yue was trying to persuade, but was stopped by her uncle.

Since that's the case, nephew Fang Yuan, we won't force you. However, you are already fifteen years old and should start your own business, which will also facilitate the inheritance of your Fang family branch. Uncle has prepared two hundred yuan stones for you as a form of support

Two hundred yuan stones! "Fang Zheng immediately widened his eyes. He had never seen so many yuan stones before and couldn't help but show an envious expression.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yuan still shook his head.

Fang Zheng was puzzled, but his uncle's face changed slightly, and his aunt's face also darkened.

Uncle and aunt, if there's nothing else, nephew will take his leave first. "Without giving them another chance to speak, Fang Yuan abandoned these words, picked up the wine jar, and left the hall directly.

Fang Zheng stood up and said, "Father, mother, brother couldn't figure it out for a moment. Why don't I persuade him

Uncle waved his hand and let out a long sigh, "Alas, this matter cannot be forced. You have this heart, and as a father, I am already very pleased. Someone, please keep Young Master Fangzheng safe and sound

That son has left. "Fang Zheng stepped down, and the living room fell into silence.

The sun had completely set and the living room became increasingly dim.

After a while, my uncle's cold voice came from the darkness: "It seems that Fang Yuan, this little rascal, has already seen through our plan

In the clan rules of the ancient moon clan, there is a clear provision that the eldest son, who is sixteen years old, has the qualification to inherit the family property.

Fang Yuan's parents have passed away, leaving behind a considerable inheritance that is being "kept" by his uncle and aunt.

The value of this inheritance is not comparable to just two hundred yuan worth of stones.

If Fang Yuan is also adopted by his uncle and aunt like Fang Zheng, then he is not eligible to inherit this inheritance. If Fang Yuan becomes independent at the age of fifteen this year, it does not comply with the rules of inheriting family property in the clan.

Fortunately, we managed to win over Fang Zheng, and Fang Yuan only has a third class qualification, "Uncle sighed again, feeling extremely grateful.

Sir, Fang Yuan has made it clear that he wants to become independent at the age of sixteen. What should we do? "Auntie's tone became anxious as she thought of the inheritance.

Hmph, since he has ulterior motives, he can't blame us. As long as we catch his big mistake and expel him from the house before he becomes independent, we will deprive him of his eligibility to inherit the estate, "Uncle snorted coldly.

But Fang Yuan, this little rascal, is very smart. How could he make a mistake? "Aunt didn't understand.

Uncle rolled his eyes and scolded in a low voice, "You're really stupid! He can't make mistakes, can't we frame him? Let that girl Shen Cui seduce Fang Yuan first, and then scream for indecent assault. We'll take all the stolen goods on the spot, and then frame him for drunken promiscuity and madness. We're afraid we won't be able to get Fang Yuan out

Master, you still have a solution, a clever plan! "My aunt was overjoyed.

Under the dense night sky, the stars were mostly obscured by the drifting clouds. Every household in the cottage gradually lit up.

Gu Yuezheng was led into a room.

Young Master Fangzheng, this is a room that the master personally instructed the old servant to specially tidy up and free up for you, "Shen Mama introduced attentively, bowing her waist and wearing a flattering smile on her face.

Fangzheng looked around, his eyes shining. This room is twice as big as the one he used to live in, with a spacious bed in the center, a sandalwood desk on one side of the windowsill, and exquisite calligraphy, ink, paper, and inkstone decorations on the surrounding walls. Even underfoot is not an ordinary floor, but covered with a soft handmade carpet.

From childhood to adulthood, Fangzheng has never lived in such a room. Immediately nodding repeatedly, "That's great, really good. Thank you, Madam Shen

This Shen Mama is the most respected person by my aunt, managing the servants throughout the house and being a true steward.

Fang Yuan's personal maid Shen Cui is her daughter.

Shen Mama chuckled and said, "I don't dare to thank you, young master. You should, you should! Young master, eat well and sleep well. If you want anything, just shake the bell beside the bed, and there will be servants coming up to give orders immediately. The master has instructed that these days, young master, you will focus on ********'s cultivation, and leave all other trivial matters to us servants to handle

Fang Zheng's heart once again surged with gratitude. He didn't say anything more, but silently made up his mind: he must win first place this time and not let his uncle and aunt down!

...

The clouds in the sky are getting heavier and heavier, and as a result, the night sky is becoming deeper and darker. Almost all the stars in the night sky are obscured by clouds, leaving only a few struggling in the sky with a faint glow.

Uncle and aunt should be calculating how to kick me out of the house. In my past life, I secretly instigated my servants to provoke me, then framed me, and finally kicked me out of the house. I don't know what changes will happen in this life. "Fang Yuan walked on the street, laughing coldly in his heart.

He had long seen through the true faces of his uncle and aunt.

However, it can also be understood.

People die for money, birds die for food. Whether on Earth or in this world, there are always so many people who trample on family, friendship, and love for the sake of profit.

In fact, there is no family affection at all. At the beginning, my uncle and aunt adopted Fang Yuanzheng with the fundamental purpose of seeking inheritance. It's just that the Fangyuan and Fangzheng brothers frequently surprise them.

The beginning of everything is difficult, especially for me. Without exceptional qualifications and the guidance of my teachers, I am starting from scratch. My parents' inheritance can be said to be a big springboard for me. In my previous life, my inheritance was taken away by my uncle and aunt, which took me two years to reach the peak of my cultivation. In this life, this mistake cannot be repeated

Fang Yuan walked while thinking.

He didn't stay at the residence, but carried two jars of wine and headed straight towards the outside of the fortress.

The night sky is becoming increasingly gloomy, with dark clouds obscuring the starlight, and the mountain wind howling with a gradually strengthening trend.

The mountain rain is about to come.

However, we still need to explore. To retrieve his parents' inheritance, he will have to wait until he turns sixteen next year. And the collection of flower wine enthusiasts is what may be obtained in the near future.

There are very few pedestrians on the street. The dim light shone through the houses on the roadside, and some trivial household garbage, as well as leaf dust, were blown away by the wind and scattered randomly.

Fang Yuan's thin clothes couldn't resist the mountain wind and couldn't help but feel a chill.

He simply opened the wine jar he was holding and took a small sip. Although it is turbid wine, after swallowing it, a warm feeling rises up.

This is the first time he has really been drinking in these days.

The more you want to leave the village, the sparser the houses on the roadside and the dimmer the lights.

Ahead, there is even more darkness. The wind is blowing against the mountains and forests, and the branches sway and make a whistling sound in the night, like a group of beasts roaring.

Without any hesitation, Fang Yuan walked out of the gate of the mountain stronghold and gradually drifted away on the dark road.

Behind him, there are bright and brilliant lights of thousands of households.

In this light, there is a warm corner.

My younger brother Gu Yue is sitting at his desk, reviewing the notes he took in class. The house was brightly lit, with solid walls blocking the cold wind. A cup of warm ginseng tea was placed beside him, and the heat was rising gently.

Young Master Fangzheng, the hot water for your bath is ready, "Shen Cui's voice came softly from outside the door.

Fang Zheng's heart stirred and he said, "Then bring it in

Shen Cui walked into the room with a seductive expression on her face, twisting her waist.

I have seen Young Master Fangzheng before, "she looked at him with autumn waves in her eyes. Fang Yuan is only a third class, while Fang Zheng has a first class qualification. To climb up to him is the true wealth and honor!
