Reverend Insanity

On the dinner table, the food and wine are fragrant.

Among the guests at the tables around me, some were drinking together, some were reciting poems, and some were laughing. The atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful.

Fang Yuan and Li Ran were sitting face to face. On the surface, they were very peaceful, but in fact, they were tense and undercurrent. Li Ran had a murderous intention hidden in his heart, while Fang Yuan seemed relaxed and guarded against him.

"Who are you?" Li Ran asked using the Heart Sound Gu.

"I said, this question is not important. Bring me the sesame seeds." Fang Yuan answered using Heart Sound Gu in the first half of the sentence, and spoke directly in the second half.

Li Ran was stunned for a moment and pushed the paper bag to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan opened the paper bag, took out the sesame seed cake, took a bite, nodded, and said with a faint smile: "That's the taste. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Then he used Heart Sound Gu: "You know, I followed you several times, and you happened to be hungry under this restaurant, so I bought sesame cakes. I found them to be very delicious, would you like to try them too?"

How could Li Ran be in the mood to try this sesame seed cake?

He snorted in his heart and said via voice: "Aren't you afraid of me poisoning you?"

A smile appeared on the surface: "It's easy with a little effort, no trouble at all. What kind of friendship do we have?"

"Hehehe." Fang Yuan laughed out loud, staring at Li Ran meaningfully, and said in his heart, "What kind of gu do you have? I don't know yet?"

Li Ran's smile grew brighter, but his heart suddenly sank.

"He's beating me up! That's right, the enemy is in the dark but the enemy is in the dark. I didn't notice that he was following me. My details should have been clearly investigated long ago. If I fight with him, I'm afraid it will be more serious than bad. So. He used this sesame seed cake to warn me!"

When Fang Yuan saw that Li Ran was silent and his eyes kept flickering, he knew that the beating had stopped, so he took out the star stone.

Li Ran's eyes were immediately attracted. But he quickly moved it away by force.

The next moment, Fang Yuan's voice rang in his heart: "You don't have to pretend, I know that the All-Out Gu is sealed inside."

"What?!" Li Ranru was struck by five thunders and his mind was shaken.

Even though he had great acting skills, his face couldn't help but change color at this moment, showing panic and fear.

He had been expecting it before,

The secret of this star stone will not be exposed. After all, it was made by someone with a sense of self-defense and had no flaws, but I didn't expect that things had become so dangerous. The other party actually knew that the All-Out Gu was sealed inside!

"Wait a minute, only a few people know about the all-out Gu. I just got it from the connector not long ago. How did he know?"

"Things are complicated... I am confident that there are no flaws on my side. This information is most likely leaked by my family! My family can send an undercover agent like me. Naturally, the other family can also send them to our family. There are several first-class families in southern Xinjiang. , mutual infiltration, and each faction’s undercover operations are already well known to each other.”

"How else to explain that the other party knew the fact that I was going all out to bewitch? Yes, I am so cautious, how could he catch me and arouse suspicion? It's just that my family has been infiltrated to this extent. It's really scary! "

"But maybe, that's not the case. There are too many strange Gu in this world..."

Fang Yuan left Li Ran enough time to think.

He is a smart man. The more I thought about it, the more I became confused. Subconsciously, he would think of Fang Yuan as more powerful and mysterious. What's even more frightening is that his confidence is getting weaker and weaker.

Fang Yuan caressed the star stone. After waiting for a while, I felt that the heat was almost ready, so I continued to transmit the message: "I want to go all out to Gu."

Li Ran was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Fang Yuan meant.

"But I know that if I take away this Gu, I will be attacked and retaliated by your family. Therefore, I need your cooperation." Fang Yuan's eyes were dark.

Those who can scheme against merchants must be equally large families. If Fang Yuan takes away the All-Out Gu by force, he will become an enemy of this force.

This star stone is like the bait on a fishhook. Fang Yuan wanted to eat the bait, but at the same time, he also wanted to prevent the fishhook from catching his mouth.

Li Ran couldn't help showing a sarcastic smile: "You actually want me to cooperate with you. What a joke. Why?"

"Just because I don't really want to be your enemy, just because I have the Bauhinia Token, but I don't want to expose you, just because I, like you, have people I want to protect." Fang Yuan said to Li Ran in his heart. Looking out the window.

At the same time, he said: "I heard that the tofu at that restaurant tastes good."

Li Ran narrowed his eyes, with a fierce look in his eyes. He shouted in his heart: "Are you threatening me?!"

Fang Yuan shook his head, his eyes were like smoke and clouds, revealing a trace of complicated emotions. Li Ran instantly captured the sadness, sorrow, helplessness and nostalgia in this emotion.

"Aren't you still clear about your situation?" Fang Yuan said in a deep voice in his heart, "People like us are caught between two forces, and our daily life is like walking a tightrope, keeping our true emotions deepest in our hearts forever. , maybe you will lose your head at the next moment. Since you have chosen this path, you must continue on it. For the sake of the family, you and I have no regrets. It’s just that some people are obviously innocent, why should they take risks because of us? Are you implicated?"

Li Ran's heart trembled and he looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief: "Are you also... an undercover agent?"

Fang Yuan smiled helplessly, with a bitter smile: "What do you think?"

When Li Ran saw such a smile, his eyes were bright and he stared at Fang Yuan closely.

Fang Yuan's expression was not unnatural at all, and he turned to look out the window.

Li Ran knew that he was looking at his wife and children.

Fang Yuan's eyes were so gentle and dazed, as if he was immersed in some kind of memory.

Li Ran didn't think Fang Yuan's emotions were fake, because this young man's age was limited, how could such emotions be faked? Even if he lives to this age, he can't pretend.

This is a true expression of love!

Involuntarily, he felt a subtle sense of identification with Fang Yuan.

We are both fallen people at the end of the world, so why should we have known each other before.

Fang Yuan blinked, looked away, and said: "Li Ran, you have been lurking in Merchant City for eight years. If your identity is exposed, your mission will be a complete failure. Your failure may endanger your life. But more importantly, it is the loss to the family, and you will have failed the family’s expectations of you.”

Li Ran couldn't help clenching his fists.

Fang Yuan's words touched his heart.

He is loyal to his family and has risen to the level of faith. Otherwise, the family would not have chosen him to serve as an undercover agent.

Fang Yuan added: "If you fail, your wife will be without a husband. Your son is just five or six years old and will be without a father. If your identity is exposed, they will most likely die because of you. You only have Success step by step, climbing to the position of the family elder, is your goal, right? But do you think it will be your end? No, you will lurk for the rest of your life. As long as the business does not fail, the family will need you to act as an undercover agent. .”

Li Ran couldn't help but grit his teeth.

Fang Yuan's words went beyond the point again.

Why hasn't he considered these things? Just thinking about it, I don’t dare to think about it anymore. The future is really too long. If you think too much and have too much pressure, you will lose the courage to go on!

"So you need allies, Brother Li Ran." Fang Yuan said eloquently, "You will not betray the family, and I will not betray the family. You have people you want to protect, and so do I. We can cooperate. We need outside forces, come By making ourselves, our relatives and friends safer, we can better contribute to our family while we are alive. And businesses are our common goal."

"Of course, this kind of cooperation is only for private individuals. If the families behind us start a war, you will be the first enemy I want to eliminate." After a pause, Fang Yuan added.

Li Ran snorted coldly, Fang Yuan said it so straightforwardly, which only made the authenticity of his words even more obvious.

For him, loyalty to his family is the first priority, followed by love for his family, and thirdly, cherishing his own life.

Fang Yuan's proposal undoubtedly satisfied these three needs of his.

"But can you really believe this person in front of you? The cooperation between different forces and undercover agents is really whimsical! Maybe... it is precisely because of his youth, his intelligence, and his boldness that he made such a request. ? If I were as young as him, I’m afraid, I’m afraid I’d do the same thing, maybe!”

The more Li Ran thought about it, the more he felt that Fang Yuan was sincere.

The most critical point is that he has no way out! In front of Fang Yuan, he has been exposed.

If Fang Yuan exposed him, his mission would have failed and all his ten years of hard work would be in vain. How could he be willing to do so?

Human nature is complex, and one side of it is called luck.

Li Ran was like a man who was forced onto a cliff. A powerful enemy was approaching, so he had no choice but to jump off the cliff. Even if he didn't know what would be under the cliff, he would still pray, hoping that there would be a deep pool under the cliff, or that he would be saved by trees growing in the cracks of the rocks when he fell.

He fell into a long silence.

After a while, he used his heart sound Gu and said: "How should I trust you?"

Fang Yuan smiled slightly and took out a Poison Oath Gu.

…

Three days later, Fang Yuan cut out the All-Out Gu in the Stone Gambling Area, causing a sensation in the entire Stone Gambling Area.

"Have you heard? Someone in Blue Nest Gambling Stone Shop actually cut out the all-out Gu!"

"Is it really the all-out Gu? That is an ancient Gu that has become extinct. It can 100% stimulate the phantom of beast power!"

"You only know now? Hehe, I know a lot more than you. This guy who got lucky is called Gu Yue Fangzheng. I don't know where this person came from, but he actually has the Bauhinia Token in his hand. In fact, the all-out Gu, originally It didn't belong to him. It was a Gu Master named Li Ran who chose it. As a result, he bumped into Gu Yue Fangzheng while walking. Gu Yue Fangzheng made things difficult for him and took away three stubborn stones as compensation. And the all-out Gu was among them."

"Oh, this Li Ran is really unlucky. The all-out Gu should have been his!"

"This is life..."

"Blue Nest Stone Shop, no, I have to go take a look!"

For a time, rumors swirled in Merchant City. (To be continued)
