After Favorability Is Maxed Chapter 25

Gu Feidao's Big Gift

“Gu Feidao?” Liu Yuan's movements paused and he was a little puzzled.

“Why is he looking for me? Uh, I think it's probably because of Gu Siyin… A master suddenly appeared and killed someone from a cultivation sect. It's only a matter of time before he asks me about it.”

He mumbled, “Siyin ran away in tears yesterday. It's very likely that Gu Feidao came here to to find fault. But that's not very likely. After all, I've already shown my relationship with Ning Xiangrong.”

As expected, there were more variables in reality than in the game.

Liu Yuan opened the door. The people waiting outside were very respectful. There were also two maidservants carrying toiletries.

“Sir, the Villa Master has instructed that you should wash up first…”

“No need, let's go.” Liu Yuan picked up his sword and said indifferently, “Would cultivators be bothered by the mortal world?”

Some posturing got easier and easier.

“Yes, yes, yes, this way please.” The guard's smile was flattering. As he spoke, he quickly waved his hand to dismiss the two maidservants.

Liu Yuan could not help but sigh at the fickleness of human nature.

The night before, he was still an idle person in the villa that no one cared about. In the blink of an eye, he had become an honored guest of the villa who could be specially sent to serve him. In the upper realm, strength was still respected.

Of course, strength was not everything. Liu Yuan knew that some NPCs relied on their extraordinary wisdom or special abilities to gain a foothold in some forces, and they were famous.

One of the most famous was the ‘All knowing scholar-crazy talk about himself holding the universe', Li Jinbei. There was also the famous Bai Xiaosheng.

By the way, Liu Yuan had also maxed out the favorability of this fellow.

Li Jinbei was one of the few male NPCs in Liu Yuan's card conquering guide. Only those very useful or interesting male NPCs were qualified to catch Liu Yuan's attention.

The greatest use of this guy was that he knew everything as long as there were records of them, and it included astronomy, geography, and human changes. The biggest disadvantage was that this guy loved money. It was like a human Encyclopedia.

However, to Liu Yuan, who had a maxed out his favorability… This was not a problem.

Liu Yuan stepped out of the room again.

Facing the morning sun, Liu Yuan once again saw Fu Huan.

She was practicing in the courtyard, practicing a set of palm techniques. Her movements were swift and fierce, without any sloppiness. It had the beauty of strength, but it was also extremely restrained. After a few moves, her forehead was already covered in sweat.

This was also a common scene in the game. When there was no plot, Fu Huan would practice martial arts in the yard, waiting for the players to trigger the daily mission.

However, in reality, it was inevitable for people to feel a mix of emotions. They were both in the Foundation Establishment stage, but the good-for-nothing second-generation Immortal, Yue Longzhang, was pampered in Water Moon Dock and relied on medicinal pills to advance. Meanwhile, Fu Huan was in this courtyard, repeating her training over and over again.

Practicing martial arts was like rowing a boat against the current. If one did not advance, one would fall back.

Compared to the path of Immortal cultivation, it was much more difficult to make a name for yourself by practicing martial arts. This was because most of the time, Immortal cultivation was based on one's aptitude, luck, and background. However, practicing martial arts was all about training.

The most unfortunate thing was that Fu Huan once had the opportunity to cultivate, but because that sect was only willing to bring her up the mountain, she gave up on it because of her family's hard life.

Liu Yuan looked at her for a while and decided to dig out the jar of monkey wine first after he had explained the situation to Gu Feidao.

As a treasure worth 10 gold, the monkey wine had the effect of improving one's constitution and opening up one's meridians.

He was not in a hurry to deal with the other matters. The development of the situation still needed to be brewed. As for the matter of Xue Yan, it was still the day after tomorrow. He might be able to find something useful by digging for treasure.

The guest room was not far from the main hall, so they arrived very quickly.

The damaged walls had been mostly repaired, and at the very least, there was still some dignity left.

Gu Feidao was still sitting at the head of the table. Seeing Liu Yuan enter, he dismissed the servants, leaving only He Ren beside him. He said with a pleasant expression, “Mr. Junxuan, please sit.”

Liu Yuan picked a seat and sat down, then said, “Villa Master, you're looking for me because of Siyin's matter, right?”

Although Gu Feidao appeared to be rather kind, he was actually much more ruthless than the Immortal cultivators at Water Moon Dock.

This could be seen from the methods he used to raise the illegitimate son of his deceased eldest son.

However, this plot was buried very deep, and it was of great importance and complicated. At that time, it set off a wave of mystery-solving in the circle of players, and a group of people opened new accounts and came to the novice village again to find clues.

After a few days, Liu Yuan would also have to pay a visit to the newly-found and unacknowledged successor of Chiyu Villa. He was Gu Siyin's nephew, Gu Chang, who was only nine years old.

Well, let's not talk about it for now.

In short, the Water Moon Dock did not have good intentions, but Gu Feidao, this old fox who had been in the Jianghu for many years, was not to be trifled with.

If it was not for the demon sect's interference, it would have been extremely difficult for the Water Moon Dock to take down Chiyu Villa.

Gu Feidao looked at Liu Yuan and said, “Mr. Junxuan seems to have expected this.”

Liu Yuan smiled and asked, “I've been in your villa for a month. Most of the time, I have nothing to do. What else could there be?”

Gu Feidao was stunned. He laughed. “That's true. You're right. To be honest, it's about Siyin.”

He sighed and said, “I've been too indulgent to Siyin. She's grown to have an arrogant and willful personality. I hope Mr. Jun Xuan can forgive her.”

Liu Yuan was a little surprised. It was not the kind of plot where “I'll give you a million bucks and you better stay away from my daughter'?

From what he said, it seemed like he approved of the relationship?

Liu Yuan thought for a while and said, “Siyin only developed such a personality to protect herself. She's still a well-behaved and sensible girl…”

Gu Feidao closed his eyes and said, “If anything happens to Chiyu Villa, I hope Mr. Junxuan can take my daughter away.”

This time, it was Liu Yuan's turn to be stunned. He hesitated for a moment and said, “Villa Master Gu, what do you mean by this?”

Gu Feidao heaved a long sigh, stood up, and said with a firm gaze, “Let me ask you something first. Are you against this marriage?”

Liu Yuan nodded and thought to himself, ‘Since that's the case, I'll just say it directly. I'm sure Gu Feidao knows Water Moon Dock's motive…'

“Can I ask you another question?” Gu Feidao asked.

Liu Yuan pretended to ponder for a while and said, “The Water Moon Dock has an intention towards Chiyu Villa, and their method is to obtain the Gu clan's bloodline. However, as Siyin's master, I can not allow her to be harmed by evil people, so I object.”

“Is that all?”

“That's all.”

“…” Gu Feidao glanced at Liu Yuan and sighed. “Mr. Junxuan, are you looking down on my life? If I can't even understand what my own daughter is thinking, I'm not worthy of being a father.”

Before Liu Yuan could react, Gu Feidao cupped his fists and bowed to the ground.

“Villa Master Gu!” Liu Yuan was really shocked. What kind of character was Gu Feidao? He was unrivaled in the martial arts world. Just like what he said, he had once killed a Core Formation stage cultivator with his own hands. He was proud and unyielding.

But now, he was actually bowing to him.
