Reverend Insanity

"Wu Ran, if you were asked to sacrifice your future for the sake of your family, would you be willing?"

"willing!"

... "Wu Ran, if you have to sacrifice your reputation for the sake of your family, are you willing?"

"willing!"

... "Wu Ran, if the family needs you to sacrifice your life, would you be willing?"

"I do!"

..."I saw you right, Wu Ran. From your grandfather, to your father, to you, they are all loyal ministers of the Wu family! Now, the family has a task for you, and this task requires sacrificing your future. Sacrifice your reputation, even your life.”

"Master Patriarch, for the sake of the family, I am willing!"

...A bright light lit up in the darkness, and Li Ran opened his eyes suddenly.

"Huh..." He exhaled a breath, sat up from the bed, and murmured, "I'm dreaming again."

This dream was not a fiction, but came from the deepest part of his memory.

"Li Ran" is his pseudonym, and his real name is "Wu Ran"!

The surname Wu has great significance in southern Xinjiang. Because that represents the first overlord in southern Xinjiang, the Wu family!

Eleven years ago, the head of the Wu family, Empress Wu Ji, personally met with Wu Ran and gave him a secret mission - to break into the top management of the business!

For this reason, he kept his name anonymous and after three years of wandering alone, he came to settle down in Merchant City.

This latency lasted for eight years!

"Eight years, a full eight years. The members of the Wu family have already forgotten me, right? Wu Ran has been killed, and there is only Li Ran in this world."

Li Ran couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He had been lurking for so long that he almost forgot his real name.

Here, he wore a mask and lived for eight full years, pretending to be a libertine and an ordinary low-level Gu Master. Even to the wife who once deeply loved him, he did not reveal a word.

During this period, he only went out every six months.

Contact the Wu family once. It has always been a one-line connection, and the secret skills have been achieved to the extreme.

Until a year ago, the person he met told him that the family was going to activate his chess piece. The excitement in his heart at that time was really difficult to express in words!

"After eight years, it was finally activated. Everything will be different!" Li Ran sighed with emotion. With a thought in his mind, he took out a stubborn stone from the stored Gu.

This stubborn stone is square and square, like a brick, and its surface is dotted with stars.

This is a star stone.

If Fang Yuan were here, he would definitely find that this stone is very similar to the stepping stone in Gambling Stone Square.

Li Ran gently touched the stubborn stone with both hands and frowned slightly.

As a spy, he spent nearly ten years in hiding, creating an absolutely transparent past that will surely win the trust of businesses.

However, trust alone is not enough. He also needs talents beyond ordinary people in order to dominate the martial arts arena in Merchant City. Only in this way can he be favored and promoted by merchants, and eventually become a family elder like Wei Yang and take charge of the merchants.

The emergence of this talent must be natural and not too sudden.

For this reason, Empress Wu Ji, the head of the Wu family, personally selected a Gu insect for him.

This is a legendary Gu.

Obtained from the ancient power inheritance, it is an extremely rare Gu that can be said to be extinct in today's world!

With this Gu, Li Ran can stand out and dominate the martial arts field.

How to get this Gu without arousing suspicion, the Wu family has also made arrangements.

That's gambling on stones.

Luck is the most unpredictable thing, and it is quite normal for the poison from ancient times to be sealed in the stubborn stone.

The demonic Gu Master Wei Xing has been secretly taken under the command of Empress Wu Ji. Forging a miscellaneous and stubborn stone is naturally something that can be done easily, and you are not afraid of others seeing through it.

Li Ran also put a lot of thought into it.

In order to convince others that this was a stubborn stone in a stone gambling shop and not something he brought himself, he deliberately selected a stepping stone in a stone gambling shop.

This stepping stone has been there for many years. People come and go, but no one pays attention to it.

Li Ran first communicated with the Wu family and asked Wei Shenhen to forge a star stone with a similar appearance.

Then his plan was to swap the star stone in his hand with the stepping stone while no one was paying attention. He is a Gu Master and has been playing tricks for half a year. He naturally knows when to change things without anyone noticing.

When he unlocks the star stone, everyone in the stone gambling shop will testify to him and prove his good luck.

After he gets this poison, he will change his mind and play out the story of a prodigal son who returns with no money in return. He will rise, he will find his wife and son, he will become the businessman's surname, and he will finally complete his mission and return to the Wu family with his wife and son.

When he thought of his wife and son, Li Ran felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

He loves his wife deeply, she is so kind and so strong.

At the same time, as a father, he wanted to give the best things in the world to his son.

At first he was just using her, but as they got along day and night, they became in love over time, and his love gradually made him unable to extricate himself. The birth of his son made him even more worried. But in the end, because of the mission and his special identity, he had to choose to leave temporarily.

"You must hate me now. I have done too many things to disappoint you. But it doesn't matter. It's coming soon. It's coming soon. I'm enabled and I will bring you happiness!"

Li Ran couldn't help clenching his fists, a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Tomorrow he will go to the martial arts arena and have a battle. The day after tomorrow, he would take this star stone to any stone gambling shop and put on a good show.

"Originally, I planned to use that stepping stone as a cover. Unfortunately, things are unpredictable, and that stepping stone was actually selected. Ha, that guy is really a fool. He would choose a star stone of this quality. But... I will be a star again the day after tomorrow. What a fool."

Li Ran smiled and put the star stone back into the storage Gu.

Although there were twists and turns in my plan, it didn't matter, it was just a small accident. Originally, he had anticipated this possibility.

He lay down again and soon fell into a deep sleep.

This time, he didn't dream again.

When he woke up the next day, he felt great, energetic and hopeful.

He felt as if he was a traveler walking in a dark valley. After a long journey, he finally saw the light ahead and the exit of the valley one day!

Eight years of persistence has paid off, and everything is so wonderful!

Everything will become better!

With this belief, he came to the martial arts field.

He had already found out about his opponent this time. He was a second-level Gu Master at the peak level. He had been hanging around in the martial arts arena in the fifth inner city all year round. He was a familiar face.

No matter how weak a Gu Master is, if he can stay in the martial arts field all year round without falling down, he always has a foundation to establish himself.

Li Ran didn't feel any contempt in his heart. The Gu in his hand was a bit rotten and not of high quality. In addition, you have to disguise yourself and not fight too fiercely, so whether you win or lose this battle is still between two choices.

Sure enough, the battle continued as Li Ran expected.

From testing to fighting, both sides were in a stalemate.

The battle scene was very ugly, and the few spectators outside the field booed.

Suddenly, Li Ran's eyes flashed with a faint light.

Chance!

He keenly caught the opponent's flaw and was about to launch an attack.

Suddenly, he felt a pain in his heart and his whole body stiffened suddenly. Instead, his opponent counterattacked and knocked him away.

Li Ran received a heavy blow and groaned in pain. His body was violently pushed a dozen steps away before he stopped.

A trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

However, the physical trauma was completely comparable to the shock and fear in his heart at this moment!

"My flower bud, my flower bud! How come you suddenly lost contact with me? There are star stones in there!!"

At the same time, at Li Ran's residence.

The bed board was lifted, revealing a hidden compartment inside.

Fang Yuan stood beside the hidden compartment, holding a flower bud in his hand.

This Gu is a second-level Gu, used for storing things. It is shaped like a flower bone and is completely light blue, but it is made of crystal and is crystal clear.

Although it was Li Ran's Gu, it was still refined instantly under the breath of the Spring Autumn Cicada.

Fang Yuan's mind swept away, and there were many sundries hidden in the flower buds. There was a bag of rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, inferior tea bricks, thirty or forty yuan stones, and a few stubborn stones.

"That's it!" Fang Yuan was shocked, activated his true energy, and shot out a black light from the flower bud.

The black light fell on Fang Yuan's palm and turned into a star stone.

It was in very poor condition, boxy and brick-like, very similar to the stepping stone.

The moment the Star Stone appeared, the whole world seemed to be quiet.

Fang Yuan's pupils suddenly dilated.

Dong-dong-dong-dong... The heartbeat kept accelerating and reached his ears clearly.

Including this simple hut, the bustling sounds of people outside the house, everything around them faded away, leaving only Fang Yuan himself and the star stone in his hand.

Holding the heavy star stone in his hand, a clear cold touch came from the surface of the stone.

Fang Yuan's eyes gradually exuded fiery gaze, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth gradually raised, revealing a smile.

The smile immediately widened, and his mouth opened in silent laughter!

The legendary Gu finally fell into my hands! !

He shouted excitedly in his heart: "As expected, this Li Ran is an undercover agent sent by other families for internal annihilation! In Qingmao Mountain, I used stones to cover up the origin of the wine bug. He also had the same plan. No wonder, then There is no poison in this stepping stone. The rumors about the past life are all a play he rehearsed."

"Today he is going to fight in the martial arts field. Regardless of whether he hides his strength or not, according to his previous record, the opponent in this battle is about the same strength as him, so the outcome is difficult to determine. The star stone containing the legendary Gu is so important, and it is important to carry it with you It’s very inconvenient for fighting, and given his cautious personality, he won’t hide it in the storage Gu and carry it around with him.”

Because if he loses the battle, his opponent will choose one of his Gu insects.

He knew that there was a legendary Gu hidden in the Star Stone. If his opponent chose his Storage Gu, wouldn't he lose the Star Stone?
