Faced with his brother's question, Meng Fanchen remained silent and continued eating his breakfast. He knew his brother's personality well. Meng Chenggong couldn't keep his cool. Sure enough, Meng Chenggong saw that his brother didn't even look at him, as if he was invisible. The next moment, he shouted in a dissatisfied tone,"Little brother, what did you do to Xiao Hong? Ever since she came out of your room yesterday, she cried. I comforted her, but she cried even harder.”
Meng Fanchen looked up at his brother expressionlessly. Meng Chenggong frowned and stared at his brother, waiting for his answer. The atmosphere became more and more tense.
However, Meng Fanchen merely glanced at him before lowering his head and continuing to eat. Meng Chenggong was furious. Meng Fanchen's attitude was simply looking down on him. In his embarrassment and anger, he slammed the table and shouted,"Meng Chenggong, how can you be like this! She's just a little girl who has served you for so many years. I've seen how gentle and considerate she is towards you. Yes, I know you're very disappointed, and I can understand your decadence. "You only have middle-grade talent, but you can't vent your anger on others because of your own encounter. This is unfair to her!" Before he could finish his sentence, Meng Fanchen stood up and waved his hand.
Pa! A crisp sound gave Meng Chenggong a solid slap. Meng Chenggong covered his left cheek and staggered two steps back, his face full of shock.
"Bastard, what kind of tone are you using to speak to me like this?! That Xiao Hong is just a servant girl. Have you forgotten that I'm your younger brother because of such a little girl?”Meng Fanchen reprimanded in a low voice. Meng Chenggong reacted. The pain on his face was clearly transmitted to his nerve center. He widened his eyes and panted heavily. He said in disbelief,"Little brother, how dare you hit me? You've never hit me since I was young! Yes, I was tested to have top-grade talent, and you were only middle-grade. But you can't blame me. This is all God's arrangement…"
Pa! Before Meng Chenggong could finish his sentence, Meng Fanchen slapped him again. Meng Chenggong covered his cheeks with his hands. He was stunned.
"Ignorant fool, what else do you remember? How did I take care of you since you were young? When my parents just died, our lives were difficult. Every year, my uncle's family only gave us two new clothes. Who did I give it to? You loved sweet porridge when you were young. I told the kitchen to make an extra bowl for you every day. You were bullied by others. Who brought you back? There are other things that I don't care to say. Hmm, now you're talking to me like this and questioning me because of a servant girl?”
Meng Chenggong's face turned red. His lips trembled. He was both embarrassed and shocked, but he couldn't say anything to refute. Because what Meng Fanchen said was the truth!
"Forget it." Meng Fanchen laughed coldly." Since you've abandoned your biological parents and acknowledged someone else, what can I, your younger brother, do?”
"Brother, how can you say that? "You know that I've always longed for the warmth of a family since I was young. I…" Meng Chenggong quickly tried to explain.
Meng Fanchen waved his hand, stopping him from continuing.""From today onwards, you are no longer my older brother, and I am no longer your younger brother.”"Little brother!" Meng Chenggong was shocked and opened his mouth to speak.
At this moment, Meng Fanchen spoke again,"Don't you like Little Red? Don't worry, I didn't do anything to her. She's still innocent. You gave me six primeval stones and I transferred her to you. From now on, she is your personal maid.”
" Little brother, how did you…" Meng Chenggong panicked and was caught off guard. But at the same time, he felt relieved. The thing he was most worried about did not come true. One night not long ago, Xiao Hong personally helped him bathe. Although nothing substantial happened, Meng Chenggong would never forget the gentleness of that night. Every time he thought of Xiao Hong, her nimble hands, and her soft red lips, his heart would throb. The feelings of youth had long accumulated in the youth's chest and sprouted. Therefore, when he found out about Xiao Hong's abnormality yesterday evening, a wave of anger instantly surged in his heart. He immediately gave up on refining the Green Light Gu and turned to search for Meng Fanchen in the village to demand an explanation.
Seeing that Meng Cheng Cheng did not agree, Meng Fanchen frowned.""It's very normal for men and women to be in love. Be more honest. Of course, if you don't want to change, then forget it.”Meng Chenggong immediately became anxious. But I don't have six primeval stones left.”As he spoke, he took out his money pouch, his face flushed red.
Meng Fanchen took the bag and realized that there were six primeval stones inside. However, one of them was half the size of a complete primeval stone. He immediately knew that Meng Cheng had successfully absorbed the primeval essence in the primeval stones to quickly refine the Green Light Gu. As more natural primeval essence was extracted, the primeval stones became smaller and lighter.
Even though it was only five and a half yuan, Meng Fanchen knew that it was only five and a half yuan. This was all the primeval stones Meng Chenggong had. He had no savings, and these six primeval stones were given to him by his uncle not long ago.
"I'll take the primeval stones. You can leave now.”Meng Fanchen's expression was cold as he kept the bag.
" Brother…" Meng Chenggong wanted to say something.
Meng Fanchen raised his eyebrows slightly and said slowly,""Before I change my mind, you better disappear from my sight.”
Meng Chenggong's heart tightened. He gritted his teeth and turned to leave. Stepping out of the inn's door, he subconsciously clutched his chest, feeling a wave of weakness in his heart. He had a feeling that he had lost something very important at this moment, but his heart quickly warmed up. He thought of Little Red.
"I can finally have you rightfully, Little Red.”Without turning back, he walked out of Meng Fanchen's sight.
Meng Fanchen stood there expressionlessly for a while before slowly sitting down. The bright sunlight shone through the window and onto his cold face, making people feel cold.
The business in the dining hall was a little deserted. There were more and more pedestrians on the street, and the noise made the silence even more obvious. The breakfast was already cold. The waiter walked over eagerly and asked if he needed to heat it up again. Meng Fanchen did not seem to hear anything. His eyes were like clouds that were constantly changing, as if he was recalling something.
The shop assistant waited for a while, but Meng Fanchen was still in a daze and did not respond. He could only rub his nose and leave resentfully. After a while, Meng Fanchen's gaze became steady. The memories in his heart were like smoke, gradually fading away. He returned to the real world. The sunlight shone in and illuminated more than half of the table. The steam from the food had already dissipated, and the noise of the pedestrians on the street could be heard. Through his clothes, he reached out and touched the five and a half primeval stones in his pocket. The corners of his mouth revealed a bitter and mocking smile. However, his smile disappeared immediately.
"Waiter, take this food down and heat it up.”Meng Fanchen glanced at the dishes and called out calmly. At this moment, his eyes were extremely clear. At this moment, Meng Fanchen from Earth, the 16-year-old Meng Fanchen, and the reborn Meng Fanchen fused into one…
"What?! Is that what your brother said?" In the hall, his uncle frowned and his voice was cold. His aunt sat on the side, looking at the red handprint on Meng Chenggong's face. She was speechless.
"Yes, when I saw my brother, he was eating breakfast at the inn. That was the whole thing.”Meng Chenggong replied respectfully. His uncle's brows furrowed even deeper, forming a line. After a few breaths, he sighed deeply and said in a serious tone,""Success, my child. You have to remember that the servant girl Xiao Hong is not Meng Fanchen's private property. We allocated it to him. Moreover, if you wanted her, you should have told us earlier. We would have transferred her to you.”
"Ah?" Meng Chenggong was dumbfounded. His uncle waved his hand." You can leave first. You've already given your primeval stones to Meng Fanchen. I'll give you another six." Remember, this time, use it well on refining Gu worms. If you get first place, we will be proud of you.”
" Father, I'm ashamed…" Meng Chenggong was so moved that tears began to fall. Uncle sighed: " Go down, rest for a while. Hurry back to your room and refine the Gu worm. You have already wasted a lot of time."”
Meng Chenggong retreated. Only then did his uncle reveal an angry and ferocious expression.
Bang! He slapped the table hard and shouted in a low voice,""Hmph, this little bastard actually used our people to do business. He's really cunning!”"Old Master, calm down," her aunt quickly advised. It's just six primeval stones."
"You're a woman. What do you know? He, Meng Fanchen, was only a middle-grade talent. If he wanted to refine the Green Light Gu, he would need primeval stones. With his immature first Gu refinement method, six primeval stones were definitely not enough. But now that he had twelve pieces, it was more than enough.”Uncle gritted his teeth in hatred. He continued: " Gu Master's cultivation, as long as there are sufficient resources and they are not stuck at a bottleneck, it will be very fast. In two to three years, the sect could nurture rank two Gu Masters. The lower Meng Fanchen's cultivation was, the less likely he would be able to take back the family property in a year. "Now that he's young and has just started cultivating, we'll hold him back and let him fall behind his peers at the beginning. The resources of the Martial Arts Hall were all rewarded to outstanding apprentices. With his aptitude, he would not be able to get any resources once he fell behind. Without resources to assist in his cultivation, he would fall behind even more. If this vicious cycle continued, would he still have the ability to inherit the family property after a year?”"Even if we don't stop him, he will at most be Rank one middle stage in a year. Old Master, you have Rank two cultivation, why are you afraid of him?”The uncle stomped his foot in anger." You're a woman. You're really short of knowledge! With my status as an elder, do I have to fight with a junior? It was reasonable for him to ask for the inheritance back. He could not stop him directly. He could only do it according to the sect rules. The sect rules clearly stated that those who wanted to start a family at the age of sixteen had to have at least Rank one middle stage cultivation. Otherwise, it would mean that he, Meng Fanchen, was not qualified to waste the sect's resources. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Aunt suddenly understood.
His uncle narrowed his eyes, and a dark light flickered in them. He shook his head and sighed,"This Meng Fanchen is too shrewd and cunning." He even saw through the scam. What kind of mentality was this? He was so scheming at such a young age. How terrifying! She had wanted to scheme against him, but he had moved out. He wanted to rely on Little Red to monitor him and disturb him, but he sent him away and even earned six primeval stones.”"Sigh, if only he could be as stupid as Meng Chenggong. Oh right, you have to treat Meng Cheng better in the future. He has top-grade talent. Furthermore, I can tell that he's not convinced by Meng Fanchen. This mood was very good and needed to be properly guided. I have a feeling that he will be the best weapon to deal with Meng Fanchen in the future!”
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed. There was no light in the inn room. Moonlight shone in, illuminating the ground with frost. On the bed, Meng Fanchen sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. He activated his bronze primeval essence and focused on refining the Liquor worm. A small part of the Liquor worm's body was dyed a bronze green, but its will was still tenacious, it was constantly struggling within the smoke-like primeval essence.
Meng Fanchen's refinement was not going smoothly. It could be said that he was struggling.
"I spent two days and two nights, resting for only an hour and a half every day. I spent twelve primeval stones, but I've only refined it to one-fifteenth of the level. According to the time, in the next few days, someone would successfully refine Gu.”Meng Fanchen was very clear about the situation. However, his aptitude was already a level lower, and now that he had refined the Liquor worm, its will to live was extremely strong, much stronger than ordinary Green Light Gu. It was very normal for them to fall behind.
" It's nothing to lag behind for a while, as long as I have the Liquor worm…" Meng Fanchen's heart was like a mirror, without a trace of anxiety or dejection. But right at this time, the Liquor worm suddenly curled up into a ball.
"Not good, Gu worm backlash!" Meng Fanchen suddenly opened his eyes as a hint of shock flashed in his eyes. In front of him, the Liquor worm had turned into a round dumpling, suddenly releasing a dazzling white light. It decided to stake everything on this! Immediately, Meng Fanchen felt a powerful will from the Liquor worm's body. It passed through his primeval essence and descended into his primeval sea. The backlash of Gu worms was very rare. Only those Gu worms with extremely strong willpower would use their full strength and succeed or die. If it were any other youth, they would definitely panic in the face of such a situation. However, Meng Fanchen did not panic. Instead, he was delighted."It's good to stake everything, as long as I take this backlash, I can greatly weaken the Liquor worm's will. However, I'm going to focus all my focus and resist this willpower attack with all my might. I can't have any external interference. Otherwise, it would be terrible. Sigh…I hope no one will disturb me during this time.”After he finished thinking, he was about to activate his primeval essence to meet the will. Entangling with it, fighting for hundreds of rounds.
However, at this moment, a change occurred! A Gu worm appeared in the middle of his aperture, above the Primeval Sea.
Boom! This Gu worm erupted with an extremely powerful aura. The aura was like the downpour of the celestial river or the eruption of a volcano. It was also like a savage beast whose dignity had been violated. It opened its scarlet eyes to see who had dared to trespass its territory!
" This is the Time Butterfly?!" Seeing this Gu worm, Meng Fanchen was completely shocked!!
