Chapter 103: It's Indeed a Big Matter
Chapter 103: It's Indeed a Big Matter
Gao Qingyu calmly sat down and said, "Everyone, don't panic. Even if the sky falls, it won't happen in an instant. Take your time, and you can talk while eating."
As he spoke, he poured himself a bowl of Iron Blood Bowl and picked up a piece of meat, saying, "The taste is not bad. Last time, when I took Gao Yunqi and Zhou Yi for a heart-to-heart talk, their mouths were full of this flavor."
Huang Yifan pouted and said, "They also sprayed me with alcohol."
So he picked up the bowl and took a sip, giving Elder Shen a glare.
Although Lady Meng He only had a few bites, along with Fang Che and Elder Shen, they still felt it was unhygienic. Naturally, they couldn't be as carefree as Huang Yifan and Gao Qingyu.
These rough men could eat in a toilet, which was very different from a lady.
She wiped her wrist and took out some meat and dishes, placing them on the table and replacing the original ones.
Then she poured out two more bowls of alcohol.
She took out a jade bowl for herself and asked, "Do you want one? I can get a few for you as well."
Huang Yifan, Gao Qingyu, and Elder Shen all shook their heads.
For them, the drinking vessel didn't matter; the key was the alcohol. Even if it was a spittoon, as long as it was cleaned and used for drinking, it was just a tool.
So, Lady Meng He poured herself a bowl and held up the bowl, saying, "It's been a long time since we sat together. Let's have a drink."
She looked at Fang Che and said, "You sit down too, and talk while you eat."
Elder Shen sighed and said, "You guys eat first. After you finish, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat after hearing what I have to say."
Lady Meng He and Huang Yifan exchanged glances with Gao Qingyu.
They saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Then they sped up and actually started eating faster.
Fang Che's heart was filled with admiration.
This was true tacit understanding.
Obviously, they had full confidence in Elder Shen's words.
This small detail showed that they were an elite team at the pinnacle of precision.
After a while, they finished their meal.
The table was cleared away.
"What's the situation?"
Lady Meng He took out a snow-white silk cloth, wiped her mouth, and calmly asked, "Please repeat your discovery in detail, leaving nothing out."
Elder Shen looked at Fang Che.
Fang Che had already anticipated this.
He didn't dare to be negligent, as the reactions of the others indicated that this matter was no small issue! This made Fang Che's heart beat faster.
So, he described Wei Zihao's abnormality again, this time being more detailed due to the seriousness of the matter. This included what Wei Zihao said during the beating and his reactions.
By the time Fang Che reached the part about the last beating, the faces of the three became so somber that they seemed about to drip water.
Gao Qingyu's mouth twitched, and he began to laugh.
The Silver Coin Mountain Lord couldn't hold his composure either.
Lady Meng He, however, frowned and brought up a point that Fang Che had briefly mentioned in his introduction, saying, "You said you found the Qi Zhi Zhi in that area?"
For Fang Che, this matter was just a starting point for a conflict or a reason to pick a fight, and it had little relation to subsequent events, so he had only mentioned it briefly.
He didn't expect it to be specifically brought up by Lady Meng He.
But when Lady Meng He asked this question, a doubt that Fang Che had always pushed to the back of his mind resurfaced, and he said, "Yes, I was surprised to find the Qi Zhi Zhi there. But it was just a fleeting thought, and I didn't think deeply about it."
"How could the Qi Zhi Zhi appear in that place?"
Lady Meng He's eyes became extremely sharp as she looked at Fang Che's face.
Fang Che couldn't help but hum in frustration.
Lady Meng He's gaze on Fang Che's face made him feel like two huge hammers were slamming into his face, causing extreme pain.
Lady Meng He immediately realized that she had unconsciously launched an attack when she heard this statement.
This level of attack was imperceptible to Huang Yifan and the others, but Fang Che's current cultivation was too weak.
She quickly withdrew her gaze and apologized to Fang Che, not wanting to interrupt his thoughts.
Fang Che understood that it was unintentional and rubbed his face, saying, "Initially, when I reached that dense forest, I accidentally discovered that the plants and trees inside were different from those on the outskirts."
"How so?"
"They were malnourished, with thinner trunks and lacking the dark, oily appearance of the outer trees. Additionally, each tree inside was older than those on the outskirts but not as thick."
Fang Che thought for a moment and gestured with his hands, "Under normal circumstances, a hundred-year-old pine tree in that dense forest could grow to the thickness of a large bowl or even thicker, while those on the outskirts could reach the same thickness. However, the trees in the center would only be as thick as a teacup or even thinner."
Huang Yifan and the others nodded silently as they observed the thickness Fang Che indicated with his hands.
"Moreover, after entering a certain area, I had a faint sense of unease, like walking alone in a graveyard or a shadowy necropolis at midnight. So, after getting 299 points, I confirmed that this score was sufficient to pass the Martial Academy's free trial assessment and immediately left."
Fang Che explained, "If I calculate the time, I left there five to seven days earlier than most of my classmates. After leaving, that uncomfortable feeling disappeared."
"No wonder you didn't increase your score after getting 299 points on the first day. It turns out you left," Huang Yifan muttered, glancing deeply at Fang Che. This kid was surprisingly perceptive.
"Tell us your theory about the Wisdom Blood Spirit Ginseng," Dream Lotus Lady said, her face turning pale, her expression tense.
"I felt that in a forest where even trees and flowers couldn't grow properly, there shouldn't be a genius treasure like the Wisdom Blood Spirit Ginseng!" Fang Che affirmed.
"Yes, if all the bushes and shrubs show poor growth and all the big trees are malnourished, it's impossible for any genius treasure to appear in such barren land," Dream Lotus Lady said, her face pale. "Moreover, it's a ginseng with the word 'blood' in its name. Usually, the Wisdom Spirit Ginseng is white jade-colored, and it's rare to see a blood-colored one."
Gao Qingyu took a deep breath and asked, "Who got the Wisdom Blood Spirit Ginseng in the end? Wei Zihao?"
"I didn't pay attention to what happened after that. But at the time, Wei Zihao seemed determined to get it, and his family background is good. He could have gotten it by offering some compensation to the other students present."
"Who were those students? Can you remember their names?" Gao Qingyu asked urgently.
Fang Che thought for a moment and said, "I only remember Kang Zijian and Qing Ziyue. I don't remember the others."
"Those two are enough!" Gao Qingyu took a breath and turned to Huang Yifan, "Speed, and keep it confidential!"
Huang Yifan muttered under his breath, "I have to run errands again!"
He rushed out like a gust of wind.
After Huang Yifan left, the four of them sat in the room, each deep in thought.
The atmosphere became heavy, as if something was about to happen.
"When was the first time you noticed the dark aura on Wei Zihao's face?" Gao Qingyu asked.
"It was during the grand competition. I saw it on the arena, and it wasn't just the dark aura. I was surprised when I saw it, and within a few days, it turned dark from the inside out," Fang Che explained.
"Then what? Do you remember every change you saw?" Gao Qingyu asked in detail.
"Then, as we repeatedly went to find trouble with Fire Ignitor, and also fought Wei Zihao, we discovered the dark aura, which was very eerie," Fang Che continued.
"By the third time, the dark aura became more noticeable."
"Until the last time, a vague face appeared, which scared me. I felt something was wrong, so I specifically came to ask Teacher Shen," Fang Che said.
His words were completely truthful.
He himself realized that this matter might be a shocking event.
Gao Qingyu asked, and Dream Lotus Lady contemplated. Gao Qingyu's questions became more detailed, some even repeated several times.
As they asked and confirmed, the expressions of Gao Qingyu and Dream Lotus Lady grew darker, almost as if they were about to drip with water.
After a cup of tea.
Huang Yifan rushed in like a gust of wind and said as soon as he entered, "I found out. That Wisdom Blood Spirit Ginseng was obtained by Wei Zihao, who paid a significant price. He gave a lot of silver and cultivation materials to the others, and he got it alone!"
His facial expression as he spoke was indescribable. Speechless, angry, fearful, worried, and helpless.
After finishing, he sighed heavily, "Ah! What can't this guy eat? He's so shameless."
Gao Qingyu calmly asked, "Who did you ask? And how did you handle it?"
"I found their teacher and asked Kang Zijian. Kang Zijian remembers this incident very clearly because, after all, he gained a fortune out of thin air. His memory of the scene is also very clear."
"Wei Zihao wanted to give resources and money to everyone, and although several people were unwilling, this item is a single plant, and others might not be able to grab it. So they agreed to take the money."
"So it's confirmed that Wei Zihao got the Wisdom Blood Spirit Ginseng," Gao Qingyu said, his expression still tense.
Gao Qingyu asked more questions, his expression didn't relax. He immediately followed up, "After you asked, what about Kang Zijian? Did you have someone watch him?"
"Of course. Kang Zijian has been taken away by his teacher. He won't be in class in the next few days. So when I asked him about Wei Zihao, the news won't leak out."
"Good."
Gao Qingyu stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and paced slowly, "Dream Lady, it seems that this is the effect of that Wisdom Blood Spirit Ginseng. Wei Zihao must have been impatient and ate the Blood Spirit Ginseng after obtaining it!"
