“Elder Fang Yuan, is it true that you massacred the whole family of old Wang?” Gu Yue Bo asked with a heavy voice from the main seat.

All the gazes were on Fang Yuan; the young elder coldly smiled, “It is indeed true.”

Gu Yue Fang Zheng closed his eyes in grief.

He may have killed many lightning wolves, but he had never taken any human lives. And now that he heard Fang Yuan admitting it himself, he suddenly felt that his own big brother had become so unfamiliar and estranged.

In this estrangement, he also felt fear towards his brother’s cruel methods and anger at the loss of innocent lives.

“Fang Yuan, do you not feel any guilt at slaughtering innocents? If you have any difficulties, you can say them out,” Tie Ruo Nan spoke as she frowned. She was someone with extremely righteous character, and hated people like Fang Yuan the most.

“So what if I killed them, I don’t find it necessary to tell you my story. However, at that time, I didn’t know that the missing Wang Er was a demonic Gu Master. It could be said that Fang Zheng was unexpectedly implicated,” Fang Yuan spoke honestly.

“Big brother, aren’t you going to say something to me?” Fang Zheng opened his eyes; the corners of his eyes had become red.

“What do you want me to say? Comfort you or to apologize? …..Hmph, little brother, you are too soft,” Fang Yuan sneered.

“Damn it, big brother…don’t think you are extraordinary just by becoming an elder. I will tell you that I already have the qualifications to breakthrough to Rank three….” Fang Zheng gritted his teeth, veins popping up in his clenched fists.

“Enough!” Gu Yue Bo couldn’t continue looking at this anymore and shouted, “Fang Zheng, go back, what decorum are you showing by making a fuss here?”

His words had other meaning and expressed dissatisfaction. Tie Ruo Nan couldn’t sense it, but Divine Investigator Tie Xue Leng reacted immediately; he stepped forward and cupped his hands. “Gu Yue clan leader and all elders, it is indeed improper for my daughter to charge in and rush into the lords’ discussion hall. This one apologizes for offending everyone!”

The elders promptly stood up and kept on saying Tie Xue Leng was too kind.

Gu Yue Bo’s expression also relaxed.

Tie Xue Leng continued, “Since little brother Fang Yuan is involved in Jia Jin Sheng’s case and is also a suspect, I hope he remains at the village and will not leave to the other village.”

Gu Yue Bo massaged his temples and sighed, “Our Gu Yue clan really hopes we can provide a suitable explanation to lord Jia Fu. Since Divine Investigator is also requesting, I will have to request Elder Fang Yuan to not leave before you are free of suspicions. I hope you can understand.”

Gu Yue Bo looked at Fang Yuan, his expression sincere. But his gaze, however, held deep meanings.
