Chapter 68 End of the text
After Sheng Heqing's death, the Sheng family fell into chaos.
The direct descendants of the Sheng family are more concerned about how to maintain the status of the Sheng family in the Jiangnan base and how to select a head of the family that everyone is convinced of. Although Sheng An is strong, he is too young. Moreover, Sheng An is indeed not interested in being the head of the family at the moment. After killing someone, he followed Gu Fan to Fairy Peak. There is no one else with this temperament in the entire base.
While the Sheng family's members are in disarray, their 50,000-strong supernatural army remains unfazed by the struggle for power. Previously, their loyalty stemmed from their wealth of valuable medicines and the fact that joining the family freed them from the annual mission of exterminating monsters. Now, with the establishment of the new Jiangnan base, the Sheng family is organizing its own army. Once the other four armies are fully staffed, the fifth army will join forces to continue the monster extermination plan.
Since you have to fight in any army, why not go to the Lu family?
Now the most valuable elixirs in the base are in the hands of Gu Fan behind Lu Ya.
A large number of Sheng family soldiers ran to the Lu family’s military camp, hoping to join the Lu family army.
Naturally, the Lu, Wang, Li, and He families wouldn't sit idly by and watch this chaos unfold. Lu Ying, representing the base, visited Fairy Peak and learned that the deaths of Sheng Heqing and Sheng Xi were the result of their own attempts to imprison Gu Fan. According to the conditions the base had previously agreed to with Gu Fan, the base allowed him to resolve the grudge on his own. Furthermore, Gu Fan hadn't done anything this time; it was all Sheng An's fault.
"What do you think about the Sheng family?" Lu Ying asked.
Gu Fan smiled and said, "This is the Sheng family's business, it has nothing to do with me, you might as well ask him."
Lu Ying looked at Sheng An who was sitting next to Gu Fan.
Sheng An's expression was indifferent: "It has nothing to do with me. My last name is Sheng."
Lu Ying said seriously, "You're still young. You can run to Fanfan's place to get some peace and quiet after you've caused trouble, but you're the one who caused the trouble in the Sheng family. You must take responsibility."
Sheng An: "How to be responsible?"
Lu Ying suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "You don't like Sheng Heqing and his son, so do you like Lu Ya?"
Sheng An pursed his lips slightly, indicating his agreement.
Lu Ying said, "I'm an A-level psychic and the Marshal of the Lu Family Army. Everyone in the Lu Family Army respects me. Not only have I made contributions to the base, but more importantly, I have Lu Ya as their young marshal. They respect his strength. So, you can go to the Sheng Family and choose an elder you like to be the head of the family. When you grow up, you can take on the responsibility of leading the Sheng Family Army."
After all, Sheng An grew up in the Sheng family and is quite familiar with the personalities of some people in the Sheng family. Those who are usually valued by Sheng Heqing are definitely the same type of people as Sheng Heqing, while those who are usually criticized and scolded by Sheng Heqing are the ones who truly care about the collective interests of the base.
Sheng An looked at Gu Fan: "Then should I go back first?"
Gu Fan smiled, took out a longevity pill and handed it to him: "Choose carefully, don't waste this pill of mine."
Although Sheng An was small in stature, he was ruthless and decisive in his actions. After returning to the Sheng family, he picked a new head of the family. The two of them worked together and stabilized the Sheng family within half a month. The 50,000 soldiers of the Sheng family were confiscated by the other four families and were still under the management of the Sheng family.
——
Gu Fan has been either making pills or cultivating medicinal herbs recently. Sheng An lives in a separate courtyard, but whenever Gu Fan appears in the medicinal field, he goes over to him.
"When are you going out to fight monsters?" Sheng An didn't like the secluded life in Fairy Peak.
Gu Fan pointed at the medicinal field and said, "There are still more than 10,000 people waiting for my bone-repairing pills."
Sheng An: "When will Lu Ya and the others come back?"
Gu Fan: "I'll be back after completing the mission, I don't know the exact time."
So, she was not in a hurry, and Sheng An became the one on Fairy Peak who most hoped that Lu Ya and the other four would return.
On August 15th, Gu Fan went to the square again to distribute a batch of bone-replenishing pills.
After more than two months, the first batch of red ginseng in the medicine field has grown and is ready for use. The quantity is sufficient, and next time Gu Fan can distribute 3,000 pills at a time.
After casting a spell of spiritual rain on the medicinal herbs in the morning, Gu Fan returned to the cave and concentrated on refining the elixir.
At the end of the month, Lu Ya, Xinghe and the other four came back. Except for Lu Ya who went to the Lu family army first, Xinghe and the other four went straight to Fairy Peak.
A figure suddenly blocked the way of the four people.
Fenghuo touched his nose, looked at Sheng An and asked, "Aren't you the kid from the Sheng family? Why are you here?"
Sheng An said, "I want to fight monsters with you."
Fenghuo wanted to ask more questions, but Xiaotian, who was guarding the medicine field, rushed over and quickly explained what had happened.
Since Gu Fan agreed to Sheng An moving to Fairy Peak, Xinghe and the other three naturally would not object. Moreover, they also welcomed the joining of "ambitious young people" like Sheng An.
Xiaotian said, "You should go to the other courtyard to rest first. Teacher Gu has been refining pills recently and only comes to check on the medicine fields in the morning."
Xinghe and the other three all knew Gu Fan’s “nerd” temper, so they went back to the villa to rest.
They would not enter Gu Fan's cave without permission, so Lu Ya did not have this concern.
As night fell, Lu Ya flew all the way into the cave.
Gu Fan was in the alchemy room, preparing to go practice after completing this furnace. There was a formation at the entrance of the cave, but when he found out that the person who came was Lu Ya, Gu Fan continued to refine the medicine.
Lu Ya sat on the sofa, waiting quietly.
Gu Fan didn't let him wait long.
After putting away the pills and performing a dust removal spell, Gu Fan walked out of the alchemy room.
Lu Ya placed the pot of flowers on the coffee table and looked at it closely, not knowing what he was looking at.
Even the most ordinary flowers, after being nourished by Gu Fanlingyu, have now grown into lush branches and leaves, and their flowers bloom in all seasons.
"If it keeps getting this long, the cave won't be able to hold it anymore." Lu Ya grabbed her wrist and held her in his arms.
It was almost two months since they last met. Gu Fan carefully examined Lu Ya's handsome features. The colder his temperament, the more attractive he became.
"Do you have any ideas?" Gu Fan asked with an unstable breath amidst the dense kisses like raindrops.
Lu Ya: "I'll transplant the flowers down the mountain tomorrow."
Gu Fan climbed onto his neck and nodded absentmindedly.
"Are you tired of refining pills all day long?"
“A little.”
"Then I'll give you some supplements. I've been saving them for so long, they should be more effective than usual."
It was clearly what he wanted, yet he could express it in such a high-sounding way.
——
A short separation is better than a new marriage. Lu Ya was so enthusiastic that Gu Fan got up late again the next morning.
Fenghuo and Meng Lianying stayed in the medicine field for an hour but didn't see Gu Fan. Even Xiaotian found it strange. They were also worried that there might be something wrong with Gu Fan's alchemy or cultivation, so they came together to the foot of the cliff where the cave was.
As a result, the two saw Lu Ya squatting on the ground digging a hole with his sleeves rolled up and a hoe in his hand. There was a pot of overly lush flowers next to him.
"Cousin, when did you come?"
Meng Lianying's eyes were blank.
Fenghuo coughed. Considering Gu Fan’s delayed appearance, what else could he not guess?
Meng Lianying was just a little bit simpler than Fenghuo. After being reminded by Fenghuo with his eyes, he immediately understood and was deeply shocked.
He always thought that his cousin and Gu Fan were still in a relatively pure relationship. After all, one was too cold and the other was too pure. He never expected that his cousin had already eaten up the little fairy Fan Fan.
Since Gu Fan hadn't woken up yet, it wasn't a good idea for two grown men to wait here. Fenghuo tugged at Meng Lianying's sleeve and wanted to leave.
A figure in a green skirt suddenly flew down from the cave.
Coincidentally, Meng Lianying and Fenghuo avoided Gu Fan's gaze.
Gu Fan looked at them in surprise. Meng Lianying and Fenghuo were of the same age, both in their early twenties, but now, they looked like they were fourteen or fifteen years old, even more immature than Qingteng.
However, Gu Fan immediately realized that this was the effect of the marrow cleansing pill.
She looked at Lu Ya, who was digging a hole as if no one was around, and suddenly laughed.
Excluding her, Lu Ya was already the oldest among the group. The marrow cleansing pill made him look almost the same as Meng Lianying, but he only looked a month or two younger. Now, Lu Ya has become the most mature one among them.
"So, cousin is still cousin."
Feeling playful, Gu Fan reached out and rubbed the head of the junior high school version of Meng Lianying.
Meng Lianying's face flushed red as he realized what Gu Fan meant. He said with a half-complaining, half-disdainful tone, "Fanfan, you said this Marrow Cleansing Pill would help me improve my crystal core level, so why did it turn me into this?"
Only when people start to grow old do they wish for eternal youth. For upright young people like Meng Lianying and Fenghuo, who have finally acquired the appearance of adults and appear mature, it is really not a reasonable thing to turn back into middle school students overnight.
Gu Fan's attention was focused on the first half of Meng Lianying's sentence. He asked in surprise, "Your level has increased?"
Fenghuo couldn't hide his excitement: "Yes, I, Lianying, Xinghe, and Qingteng are all S-level now."
Lu Ya's voice suddenly came from behind: "You said before that the Marrow Cleansing Pill is useless for high-level cultivators. The same should apply to people with special abilities."
Because the level of his crystal core is already high enough, the marrow cleansing pill can no longer help him advance.
It was a bit of a pity for Lu Ya, but it was completely happy news for Xinghe and the other three. It was even better news for the entire base. Suddenly, there were four more S-level powerhouses, and each of them was full of combat experience and so young.
After the surprise, Gu Fan left the three people and flew to the villa on his sword.
Xinghe looks to be the same age as Gu Fan, about seventeen or eighteen years old, while Qingteng's face still has the immature look of a middle school student, but her figure has become very charming under the effect of the marrow cleansing pill.
Qing Teng's face flushed when she saw Gu Fan's gaze, and she ran in angrily.
Gu Fan liked Qingteng the most, so he chased her in and teased the little girl.
At noon, Fenghuo showed off his cooking skills and prepared a table full of delicious food.
When he came out of the kitchen, he saw Sheng An sitting next to Qing Teng. He was like an elementary school student with poor concentration, and his eyes kept glancing towards Qing Teng.
Fenghuo squeezed in between the two of them without any hesitation.
Sheng An glanced at him, then turned to listen to Gu Fan and Xinghe talking.
After the meal, everyone was full and started discussing their next plan.
Fenghuo said, "I don't want to stay in the base. I used to be an A-level psychic with limited abilities, so I could only join the army in large-scale clearing operations. Now we are all S-level. With Young Master Lu providing a protective shield and numerous spiritual sense detections, the efficiency of just a few of us is better than that of a 100,000-man army."
Gu Fan: "Well, I'll go with you guys after I finish this batch of pills."
Xinghe looked at Lu Ya. After all, Lu Ya was a member of the base’s military and might be more willing to participate in the collective cleanup.
Lu Ya and Gu Fan looked at each other and said, "I will go with you."
The number and capabilities of powerful humans have changed, so the monster elimination plan will naturally have to develop a new pattern.
He used to be the pioneer of the Jiangnan base. After this, he and Gu Fan and six others will be the pioneers of all mankind.
——
2100, New Year's Day.
Gu Fan, Lu Ya, and the five members of the new Galaxy Team drove out of the Jiangnan base in the bright morning sun.
Fenghuo laughed: "Come on, fight for the base!"
Meng Lianying was even more determined: "Fight for humanity!"
Xinghe smiled gently: "Fight for freedom."
In the last row of seats, Lu Ya just looked at them quietly, his hand down, holding Gu Fan's hand.
Suddenly, someone wrote on his palm.
"Fight for you."
Lu Ya tilted his head.
Gu Fan's ears felt hot, and he felt that this narrow carriage could not withstand the burning heat in his eyes, so he suddenly flew away on his sword.
She was standing alone in the air, while Lu Ya was sitting in the car, looking up at her.
Behind them is the brand new Jiangnan base, bathed in the bright morning sun.
