"Well said, let me check first, and then I will explain." Guan Yue was excited; he could finally see Fang West again.
However, when the Youth pulled out all his rings, Guan Yue saw that apart from a large amount of Golden Red Sand, Fang West had been tied up like a small dumpling, bound tightly with bloodstains everywhere. If one didn't look closely, it would resemble a red meat dumpling.
Guan Yue even suspected that she had stopped breathing.
Guan Yue hurriedly used Celestial Soldier to cut the ropes binding Fang West and freed her. She immediately collapsed weakly onto the ground.
Suppressing his anger, Guan Yue pointed his sword at the Youth and asked, "Who is this? Is she your father's enemy? Why do you treat a girl like this?"
The Youth replied with a fierce tone but cowardly demeanor, "This wretched girl is a traitor to our family, stealing from us with ulterior motives, intent on overthrowing my Fang Family. She is like maggots, like Worm! She deserves to die a thousand deaths."
At this moment, the short man added fuel to the fire, saying, "Young Master, Xiao Ying Xiong, look at this Golden Red Sand; it was stolen from the Fang Family by them. These siblings are traitors to the Fang Family, and their father is a bandit who robbed our family! That’s why we have tied her up; she deserves it."
Guan Yue walked over to Fang West and took out a pill for her to swallow. Then he stood in front of the Youth and swung his sword, severing the Youth's arm. The Youth was caught off guard and immediately screamed in pain.
The short man shouted loudly, "Young Master, Xiao Ying Xiong, you can't do this! You can't let your loved ones suffer while your enemies rejoice. This woman is truly evil!"
Guan Yue was extremely furious at this point and wanted to provoke these two further. He said, "I see you both as robbers who forcibly took their Golden Red Sand and abducted a woman. You fear she will testify against you, so you beat her up and plan to release her later to satisfy your beastly desires. Is that right or not?"
It seemed that the situation was as Guan Yue described; both claimed that Fang West had stolen from the Fang Family. However, at this moment, Guan Yue could also argue that they had taken money by force. It was merely one side's word against another.
Upon hearing Guan Yue's words, the Youth looked aggrieved while the short man cried out in tears, "Young Master, Xiao Ying Xiong, you are wronging us! This Fang West is truly a traitor to our family; her brother has already fled, and her father wants to seize power from our Fang Family! That's why we traveled so far to capture them; they truly deserve death."
"I formally inform you that I already know their money comes from debts owed by the Wang family. What do you have to say about that?" As soon as Guan Yue said this, both of them were completely stunned!
Hearing that this was the "Wang Family's" debt, they realized things had gone wrong. They had encountered the real deal! They immediately thought that Guan Yue had been following Direction East and Fang West all along, wanting to seize the Golden Red Sand for themselves.
So, both of them fell silent; anything they said now would be pointless.
It seemed that they could not keep the Golden Red Sand, and the key was to ensure that he wouldn't kill them.
Seeing that the two were silent, Guan Yue asked again, "You are talking nonsense. What punishment do you deserve for daring to deceive me?"
"I deserve to die. My previous statement was inappropriate. This money indeed comes from collecting debts from the Wang Family, but their siblings never intended to hand it over to our family; they actually wanted to swallow it privately, which is why they secretly fled here. That’s when my companion and I caught up with them, uncovered their scheme, and captured this woman. That’s how we managed to retrieve this Golden Red Sand."
The short man immediately came forward to explain, leaving Guan Yue both amused and exasperated; this guy had even thicker skin than he did, which truly left Guan Yue speechless.
Guan Yue then walked back to Fang West, who was gradually regaining consciousness.
After taking Guan Yue's pills, she finally woke up. When she opened her eyes and saw Guan Yue, she was momentarily speechless, but tears flowed uncontrollably.
At that moment, seeing Guan Yue felt like Heaven's Will! Guan Yue was her savior!
Thinking about her unfortunate experiences and recalling how she had encountered Guan Yue three times and been saved by him twice, she could no longer hold back her tears and began to cry bitterly!
Seeing Fang West weep so sorrowfully, Guan Yue deeply felt her sadness. In just a few days, she had faced life-and-death situations twice; it truly was hard on this lovely girl.
It wasn't until Fang West stopped crying that Guan Yue gently said to her, "Miss West, it seems that this vast expanse of Golden Red Sand has become your burden. Your family must be quite complicated."
Upon hearing Guan Yue's words, Fang West felt embarrassed to remain lying on the ground any longer. With Guan Yue's support, she managed to stand up with difficulty.
At this moment, the Youth and the Shorty realized that they were acquainted with Guan Yue and Fang West. What terrible luck they had! How could their fortune be so bad? Were they not just walking into a trap?
Fang West moved his body a bit and then pointed at the two of them, saying to Guan Yue, "They are my cousins. But they have no sense of brotherhood and attacked us without warning. My brother was injured and managed to escape, while I was captured. You saw everything else; they want to pin the crime of No Need for on us and wipe out our entire line."
The two members of the Fang Family looked at Fang West with anger, and the Shorty was still angrily saying, "You scoundrel, you won't have a good ending. This guy can't help you; your whole family will die."
Guan Yue suddenly stepped forward and slapped the Shorty across the face, saying, "Bastard, who allowed you to speak?"
Then Guan Yue asked Fang West, "What is going on? Do they want to kill you? Has there been a civil war in your family?"
Fang West's eyes reddened as he sorrowfully replied, "In our Fang Family, my cousins have always held power in the family; they are the Direct Line. We are considered Relatives. However, our family hasn't produced any outstanding talents in recent centuries. Only my father's line is decent; my brother and I reached the Great Dao Realm through our own efforts, and I have reached the Peak of the Great Path. Especially since my father has also reached the peak of Breaking Heaven Realm and may break through to Mysterious Heaven Realm. Currently, there are only three Elderly People Over A Hundred Years Old in our Fang Family who are at Mysterious Heaven Realm; they are our Elder Councilors and have the authority to decide on the replacement of the clan leader. The younger generation only has those at Breaking Heaven Realm. If my father breaks through to Mysterious Heaven Realm, then the Elder Council will definitely make him the clan leader. Therefore, my Uncle, who is the current clan leader, is acting against us; they are truly insane. They are fabricating charges against us to force us into action."
"It seems that there are quite a few factions within your family supporting your Uncle," Guan Yue observed from her Cousin's hostile gaze towards Fang West.
Fang West snorted coldly, "Of course, my Uncle's faction has always held the position of clan leader. They use their power for personal gain. Strictly speaking, we can also be considered part of the main line of the family; we could take charge if we wanted."
Guan Yue noticed that during their conversation, Fang West seemed to be in much better spirits; it appeared she had some secrets beyond just the Dragon Python Escape Technique.
Fang West walked over and angrily pointed at the young man, saying, "Quickly hand over your Storage Ring to me, or I'll make you die immediately!" Her expression indicated she was not joking. She demanded her cousin hand over his ring to spare his life.
The Youth glanced at Fang West and obediently released his control over the ring, allowing Fang West to snatch it away. She looked inside the ring and then coldly said to the Shorty, "You bastard, hand over your ring too."
When Fang West approached him, the Shorty finally lowered his head. At this point, he also obediently handed over his ring.
Fang West glared at Guan Yue fiercely and said, "These Great Dao Realm practitioners who rely on drugs all have rings, but we who broke through through true skill do not have rings. Do you think it's fair for my Uncle?"
Guan Yue said seriously, "It seems that you, Uncle, really have a long-standing sense of fairness. If a family treats its strong members like this, it is destined to fall apart."
Fang West angrily replied, "Our Fang Family has already been thrown into chaos by them. If we don't make some changes soon, we will be completely ruined."
"Then what should we do with those two now?" Guan Yue asked.
"Let's lock them in the ring and discuss it when I get home. Killing them privately would put my father in a difficult position." Although Fang West's words made Guan Yue feel the emotions of a girl, Guan Yue also realized that Fang West was not ruthless enough and lacked decisiveness.
What would it matter to bring those two back?
After putting the two into the Storage Ring, Fang West said to Guan Yue, "Guan Young Master, ever since I left you, I've had bad luck. How about you accompany me back home? Once we arrive at my place, we will definitely treat you well."
Guan Yue smiled wryly and said, "So it seems I am your lucky charm?"
Fang West chuckled, "Isn't that right? As soon as I leave you, I run into trouble. It looks like I can't be away from you anymore." As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that this could lead to misunderstandings and quickly added, "I need your protection. Really, I have no idea what other skills you possess that allowed you to capture my cousins so easily."
Guan Yue playfully scolded Fang West, "You disappoint me, girl. Didn't I teach you the Invisibility Technique? Why didn't you use it?"
"Well, who goes around being invisible all day?" Fang West bantered back with Guan Yue, both of them laughing and enjoying each other's company harmoniously.
Of course, Guan Yue had no choice but to accompany her home. However, since Fang West had also reached the Peak of the Great Path, Guan Yue thought they should first break through to the Skybreaking Realm together before returning to the Fang Family to make some contributions. Fang West was quite impatient; as soon as she heard that Guan Yue had refined the Skybreaking Beneficial Pill, she immediately urged Guan Yue to show it to her and insisted that Guan Yue help her break through to the Skybreaking Realm first.
