Chapter 578 Settling the Score!
Birds, pheasants, wild rabbits… all kinds of birds and beasts, crowded into the vegetable garden.
Through the gaps between the various animals’ bodies, one could still see many snakes curled up on the ground, resting.
Wild beasts that couldn’t squeeze into the garden formed layer upon layer around it, packed so tightly that not even water could seep through.
At a glance, one couldn’t see any lush green vegetables at all, only these wild animals!
“Are you sure this is a vegetable garden and not a zoo?” Lin Batian looked at Fang Yu beside him and asked.
Fang Yu’s face darkened as he quickly walked forward.
It had only been a few days since he last came, and the garden had turned into this state!
What concerned him most were his vegetables!
With the density of these birds and beasts gathered here, his vegetables… had probably all been trampled into a mess.
Fang Yu and Lin Batian’s arrival startled the resting birds and beasts.
A commotion arose, and some of the more timid wild animals immediately flew or ran away.
But quite a few seemed unwilling to leave this paradise that gave them such comfort, remaining in place and emitting threatening low growls at Fang Yu.
“Occupying my garden and still so arrogant?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and thrust his right hand forward.
The gale force from his palm howled through, sweeping across the entire garden.
The group of birds and beasts scattered in panic before this gust, fleeing in disarray.
Now, the garden’s original appearance was revealed to Fang Yu.
All the green plants from the previous planting were completely gone.
They weren’t trampled, but eaten by these wild animals!
“Good, I’ve seen your ‘garden’ now, let’s go to East Capital,” Lin Batian teased.
Fang Yu’s expression remained unpleasant as he surveyed the entire garden.
The Star Fruit sprout was still in its place.
This made Fang Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
If even the Star Fruit had been destroyed, he would definitely have held a barbecue party today, roasting all those wild animals from earlier!
“The life energy in this garden… is this what you wanted me to see?” Lin Batian asked.
Fang Yu walked into the garden and crouched down in front of the pinky-sized Star Fruit sprout, saying, “The source of life here is this thing, called Star Fruit.”
“Star Fruit? I remember my master also cultivated this thing years ago… treated it like a treasure.” Lin Batian also crouched down, staring at the Star Fruit sprout, then looked up and asked, “Where did you get it from?”
“I got it from Wuji Daoren,” Fang Yu answered.
“Wuji… Daoren!?” Lin Batian’s face showed surprise, “Didn’t he ascend long ago? When did you…”
“I entered a small space he created at his legacy site and met him there,” Fang Yu said. “He was only willing to give me one Star Fruit, but before leaving I helped myself to another one.”
“You dared to steal from Wuji Daoren… quite bold,” Lin Batian said.
Wuji Daoren was one of the most powerful figures in the cultivation world back then.
Fang Yu and Lin Batian had just started on the path of cultivation when he ascended to immortality. Therefore, in Lin Batian’s impression, this man still commanded tremendous respect.
“He was quite reasonable,” Fang Yu said.
Lin Batian stood up and looked around, saying, “This place has already developed into a small life spring, which has tremendous benefits for any living being. No wonder so many wild animals came here.”
Fang Yu walked to the small tool shed in front and took out some vegetable seeds, scattering them on the soil.
Soon, these seeds grew at a visible speed, turning into lush green vegetables.
“Such a life spring, and you’re using it to grow vegetables. What a waste,” Lin Batian shook his head and said.
“What do you think it should be used for?” Fang Yu asked.
“If it were me… I would create a small spring here, let the water fully absorb the life energy, and then sell it,” Lin Batian said. “When selling, I’d claim this water can cure all diseases… I’d soon be rolling in money.”
“And doing this would cost almost nothing, all profit and no loss.”
“Making money isn’t interesting,” Fang Yu said.
“But it demonstrates value,” Lin Batian raised an eyebrow and said, “At least better than growing vegetables, which is meaningless.”
“Who says it’s meaningless? Self-grown natural vegetables taste great,” Fang Yu said.
In the time that followed, Fang Yu collected bamboo and tree branches from around, made a simple shed, and reinforced the fence to prevent birds and beasts from easily entering the garden.
Doing all this took about two hours.
During this time, Lin Batian stood by watching Fang Yu work.
He really couldn’t understand Fang Yu’s enthusiasm for growing vegetables.
He remembered that years ago, Fang Yu didn’t have such a hobby.
After bustling about for most of the day, Fang Yu finally had the garden fully armed.
“Are you done yet?” Lin Batian asked.
“Yes, let’s go,” Fang Yu replied.
The two stood together as Fang Yu activated the space ring in his hand.
“Wait a moment,” Lin Batian said, waving his right hand forward.
“Whoosh!”
The next second, a light shone around both of them.
After the light dissipated, their appearances had changed back to how they looked during their last visit to East Capital.
“Since they’re framing us, let’s go settle accounts with them in these forms,” Lin Batian said. “Now, you’re Fang Changsheng, and I’m Lin Bubai, how about that?”
“Whatever you say.”
The space ring on Fang Yu’s finger glowed.
Soon, he and Lin Batian disappeared from the spot.
…
The news of the Luo family’s extermination spread throughout East Capital in just half a day.
Almost every family was discussing this matter internally.
And naturally, their suspicions centered on the Yu family, who had been immediately released by the East Capital Martial Arts Association after the Luo family’s extermination.
The Yu family and Luo family had a feud, and considering what happened at Wancao Gate, the possibility of them committing such an act was significant.
However, everyone only dared to discuss this within their families; no one dared to speak of it publicly.
It was known that the Yu family’s current strength ranked at least in the top five in East Capital.
Even if the Luo family was truly exterminated by the Yu family, without evidence, nothing could be said.
Yu family.
Yu Tianming paced back and forth in his study with a gloomy face.
Many people stood in the study, all core members of the Yu family.
Yu Nan and Yu Shijie were still receiving treatment for their injuries and were not present.
Seeing Yu Tianming pacing without speaking, one core member asked, “Family Head, did you call us here because of the Luo family’s extermination?”
Yu Tianming stopped and looked at this person, saying, “First, I need to confirm that this was indeed not done by our Yu family!”
The people present looked at each other, and then an older man said, “Family Head, when you were taken away by the East Capital Martial Arts Association a few days ago, everyone in our clan was trying to rescue you and the young master and miss. No one planned this.”
“Yes, Family Head, how would we dare do such a thing without your orders?”
“Besides, we don’t have that capability! Although the Luo family has declined somewhat, their foundation remains. How could we exterminate them so easily…”
The core members spoke one after another, expressing that they had no motive or intention to exterminate the Luo family.
Yu Tianming frowned deeply, lost in thought.
He also knew that these people in the family didn’t have the courage.
“Family Head, actually we don’t need to worry too much. Indeed, rumors outside say our Yu family did this, but they have no evidence! Moreover, the killer left a message at the Luo family’s gate pointing to that Fang Changsheng. Currently, the East Capital Martial Arts Association is already hunting for Fang Changsheng… why should we worry?” one core member said.
Many agreed with his view, nodding frequently.
Yu Tianming looked at this person and reprimanded, “You think rumors have no impact? Do you know how many great families in history have died because of rumors!?”
After being shouted at by Yu Tianming, everyone’s expressions changed, and they dared not speak further.
The study immediately fell silent.
Yu Tianming pinched his chin, trying hard to understand the opponent’s intentions.
The Luo family’s extermination was definitely not done by their Yu family, and the fact that the perpetrator left a message about Fang Changsheng at the Luo family’s gate after the killings was extremely bizarre.
