The black light curtain slowly extinguished, and the white light curtain gradually brightened.
[Gu Yue Fang Yuan was reborn and attended the awakening ceremony on the second day.]
[The clan members held high expectations for Gu Yue Fang Yuan, believing he had at least B-grade aptitude, but he ultimately tested with only C-grade aptitude.]
[In the Gu world, C-grade aptitude generally meant one could only become a second-tier Gu Master, which was considered very poor, often relegated to being cannon fodder within the family.]
[This scene left everyone immensely disappointed in Gu Yue Fang Yuan, and some even took pleasure in his misfortune.]
[However, his younger brother Gu Yue Fang Zheng tested as A-grade aptitude, immediately drawing the clan leader's attention and being designated as a key training target.]
[This awakening ceremony completely reversed the fates of Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng.]
[In the past, Fang Yuan was exceptionally intelligent and considered the best candidate for A-grade aptitude, with everyone holding high hopes for him and treating him with great respect.]
[At that time, he was the center of attention, shining with brilliance, while his brother Fang Zheng was self-conscious, timid, and taciturn, looked down upon by others.]
[Whenever mentioned, he was referred to as Fang Yuan's brother, not even worthy of having his name called.]
[But now, everything was completely different.]
[Fang Zheng was A-grade, becoming the most talented seed Gu Master, receiving respect from the clan leader and the clan members, while Fang Yuan became a waste, scorned by others.]
[Even his brother Fang Zheng felt a sense of vindictive pleasure, eagerly anticipating the day he could stand over Fang Yuan after achieving success in cultivation.]
[From then on, Fang Yuan began drinking every day, seemingly wallowing in self-destruction, which only made others look down on him even more.]
[But no one knew that he actually had other plans.]
[In his previous life of five hundred years, what storms and waves had Fang Yuan not experienced? What did it matter if he had C-grade aptitude? He didn’t care, as this was already a predetermined outcome that wouldn’t change due to his emotions.]
[Since that was the case, why bother caring?]
[He was reborn to pursue immortality; as for the disdain of his clan members and the trampling by his brother, what did that mean to him?]
[The reason he drank every day was that he was exploring the hidden treasures of the Flower Wine Wanderer.]
[In his previous life, two months later, a clan Gu Master who was drunk from a broken heart lay in a stupor outside the mountain stronghold, and the aroma of the wine unexpectedly attracted a wine bug.]
[The Gu Master was overjoyed and wanted to capture it. The wine bug hurriedly fled, and the Gu Master relentlessly pursued it, following its trail to discover a hidden cave leading underground.]
[The wine bug was a very precious type of Gu, and the Gu Master, intoxicated, bravely entered the cave and found the remains of the Flower Wine Wanderer, along with the treasures left behind.]
[After returning to the mountain stronghold, the Gu Master reported all his findings, causing a huge stir throughout the entire family.]
[As a result, the Gu Master benefited greatly, his cultivation improved significantly, and he even attracted the attention of the lover who had once abandoned him, becoming a figure of great renown.]
[The Flower Wine Wanderer was a fifth-tier demonic Gu Master, and his hidden treasures undoubtedly contained many valuable items. In this life, Fang Yuan aimed to obtain these treasures to quickly enhance his strength.]
[However, he had yet to find the treasures, and trouble was already knocking at his door.]
[Next year, Fang Yuan would turn sixteen, and according to clan rules, he would be eligible to inherit his parents' estate, which had been held by his uncle and aunt for these years.]
[They absolutely did not want to easily hand over the inheritance to Fang Yuan.]
[In his previous life, it was because they monopolized the inheritance that Fang Yuan struggled at the bottom, and even decades later, he was still just a second-tier Gu Master, living in extreme hardship.]
[In this life, he had to reclaim the inheritance.]
[However, his uncle and aunt had already taken the initiative, pretending to want to adopt Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng as sons, and Fang Zheng immediately agreed with excitement, betraying his own parents.]
[Fang Yuan, however, resolutely refused.]
[Meanwhile, his uncle and aunt sent the maid Shen Cui to seduce Fang Yuan, hoping to drive him out of the family and prevent him from having the chance to inherit the family estate.]
[When Shen Cui entered Fang Yuan's room, he immediately sensed something was off. Just as Shen Cui was about to seduce him, Fang Yuan let out a cold laugh.]
[“So it seems my uncle and aunt sent you to seduce and frame me? That means there should be arrangements downstairs as well.”]
[“But what are you, trying to seduce me? Just based on these two piles of trash-like flesh on your chest?”]
[Fang Yuan's hand gripped Shen Cui's neck tightly.]
[A sharp pain shot through her chest, Shen Cui's eyes widened in agony, tears welling up. She wanted to scream, but her throat was constricted by Fang Yuan's grip, and in the end, she could only whimper a few times, starting to struggle fiercely; if she didn’t, she would truly suffocate!]
[But at that moment, Fang Yuan slowly relaxed his grip.]
[Shen Cui immediately opened her mouth wide, greedily gasping for air, breathing so hastily that it triggered a violent cough.]
[Fang Yuan chuckled softly, reaching out to gently stroke Shen Cui's cheek, leisurely asking, “Shen Cui, do you think I can kill you?”]
[If Fang Yuan had shouted angrily, Shen Cui might have fiercely resisted.]
[But when Fang Yuan spoke in such a low, soft voice, gently asking her if he could kill her, Shen Cui felt a genuine fear.]
[She looked at Fang Yuan in terror, at this young man smiling at her.]
[In that moment, Shen Cui vowed she would never forget Fang Yuan's eyes. Those eyes, devoid of any emotion, dark and deep, seemed to hide a terrifying beast within an ancient well.]
[Heavens! Why did I provoke such a devil?!]
...
Bullet comments floated up.
“Hahaha, with those two lumps of flesh, you think you can tempt the Immortal Lord?”
“On what basis do you think you can seduce the Immortal Lord? Just because of your meager beauty?”
“Shen Cui, you don’t wear that outfit often, do you?”
“If Fang Zheng sees this, won’t he be furious on the spot? This is his white moonlight! His favorite two pounds of rotten meat!”
