Chapter 22
Five and a Half Yuan Stones, the First Hard Control in the Gu World!

In the chat group, Fang Yuan was trying to sway Chen Ping An’s heart.

【Fang Yuan: “Chen Ping An, face reality!”】

【Chen Ping An: “Reality? You think I haven’t faced it? I’ve faced it since I was a child, but what good did it do? If they don’t want to save me, that’s their business, but how I live is my business! Just because others are cold, does it mean I have to be heartless? This isn’t me. I’ve never thought that much. I only seek mental clarity and to be myself. Even if this world is like this, I’m not.”】

【Qi Jing Chun: “Well said, Chen Ping An!”】

【Zou You: “Little Junior Brother, you’re amazing!”】

【Fang Yuan: “Hehe, do you think the you you believe in is truly yourself, Chen Ping An? Do you really understand and know yourself? The most difficult thing in life is to understand and know oneself. Do… you truly understand?”】

Fang Yuan’s words were like a demonic chant, causing everyone present to fall silent for a moment.

But soon, someone wanted to retort.

However, before they could speak, new content began to play on the screen.

The black-bordered screen went dark, and the white-bordered screen lit up.

【New Video Title—Rules.】

【After Fang Yuan entered cultivation, his supply of Spirit Stones started running low.】

【One day, he was eating at an inn when Fang Zheng stormed up to him, angrily demanding to know what he had done to Shen Cui.】

【After Shen Cui messed up, her uncle and aunt had berated her. She could only seek comfort from Fang Zheng.】

【Fang Zheng had long harbored lust for Fang Yuan’s personal maidservant. Now that Shen Cui was so distraught, Fang Zheng was naturally furious.】

【But before he could finish speaking, Fang Yuan slapped him across the face.】

【“You bastard! What kind of tone are you using? How dare you speak to your brother like that?! That Shen Cui is just a little maid. You forgot I’m your brother because of a little woman?!”】

【“Brother, you hit me? You’ve never hit me before! Yes, I was tested to have a Grade A aptitude, and you’re only Grade C. But you can’t blame me! It’s all Heaven’s arrangement…”】

【Slap!!】

【Fang Yuan backhanded him again.】

【“You naive fool, you remember nothing! How did I take care of you since we were little? When our parents died, we were poor. During the New Year, our uncle and aunt only bought us one new piece of clothing. Did I wear it? Who did I give it to?”】

【“You liked honeydew porridge when you were young. I ordered the kitchen to make an extra bowl for you every day. When you were bullied, who defended you? And many other things, I won’t even mention. So now, you talk to me like this because of a maid? You dare question me?”】

【Fang Zheng covered his face, speechless. He wanted to retort, but he didn’t know where to begin. Because what Fang Yuan said was the truth.】

【Finally, Fang Yuan coldly glanced at Fang Zheng.】

【“Whatever.”】

【“You abandoned even your own parents and recognized someone else as your father. What good am I to you, your brother?”】

【“From today, you’re not my brother, and I’m not your brother anymore.”】

【“You like Shen Cui, right? Don’t worry. I didn’t do anything to her. She’s still a virgin. Give me six Spirit Stones, and I’ll transfer her to you. From now on, she will be your personal maid.”】

【Fang Zheng was overjoyed. His greatest fear hadn’t come true.】

【Now that Fang Yuan was willing to voluntarily give up, he was overjoyed to the point of exploding.】

【Fang Zheng immediately pulled out his Spirit Stones. “I don’t have enough for six.”】

【Fang Yuan took the pouch and found only five and a half.】

【“I’ll take the Spirit Stones. You can go.”】

【Fang Zheng turned and left. Though he had lost an annoying brother, he had gained his crush. The deal was unbelievably good.】

【“I can finally have you legitimately, Cui Cui.” He didn’t turn back as he walked out of Fang Yuan’s sight.】

【Fang Yuan remained expressionless. He stood for a while before slowly sitting down.】

【The bright sunlight streamed through the window, casting a cold glow on his indifferent face. It gave people a chilling sensation.】

【The dining hall was rather quiet. There were more and more pedestrians on the street, and their noisy chatter only served to highlight the silence here.】

【His breakfast had gone cold. An attendant, eager to please, approached and asked if he wanted it reheated.】

【Fang Yuan paid no attention. His eyes were clouded, like shifting smoke and clouds, as if he was lost in memories.】

【The attendant waited for a while, but Fang Yuan was still in a daze and didn’t respond. He could only scratch his nose awkwardly and leave.】

【After a long while, Fang Yuan’s gaze sharpened.】

【His memories, like smoke, faded away gradually.】

【He returned to the real world. The sunlight shone through the window, illuminating more than half of the table. The warmth of the food had dissipated, and the bustling sounds of the street reached his ears.】

【Through his clothes, he reached out to feel the five and a half Spirit Stones tucked in his chest. A bitter, sarcastic smile curled his lips.】

【But the smile was gone as soon as it appeared.】

【“Attendant, take this food and reheat it.” Fang Yuan glanced at the food and said calmly.】

【At this moment, his eyes were clear and sharp.】

The comments started to flow.

“Fang Zheng has no idea what he’s missed out on!”

“So that’s why Fang Zheng is the biggest clown in the Gu world.”

“The ruthless guy who dared to grab the Regret Gu was controlled for an afternoon with five and a half Spirit Stones.”

“Five and a half Spirit Stones, I declare it the strongest control in the Gu world!”

“Fang Zheng personally gave away the only weakness of the Immortal Venerable. From this day forward, the Immortal Venerable is invincible!”

...

Seeing this scene, Feng Tian Yu in the chat group exploded.

【Feng Tian Yu: “Fang Zheng, you beast! You abandoned your parents, betrayed your family, look at what you’ve done! You actually treated Fang Yuan Lord like this? Fang Yuan Lord cared so much for you, even after five hundred years of rebirth, he still remembers that you like honeydew porridge. But how did you treat Fang Yuan Lord? You’re worse than a beast!”】

【Fang Zheng: “He was the one who wanted to make a deal with me. I didn’t ask for it. How can you blame me? Besides, he’s a demon, and he doesn’t have any family love. How could he possibly care about me?”】

【Feng Tian Yu: “Beast! You still haven’t repented! If Fang Yuan Lord didn’t care about you, would he have stood for an afternoon because of your five and a half Spirit Stones?”】
