Chapter 535 The Mastermind, His Fate
“While I was talking to those three people, I overheard the conversation between them.”
"It seems that there is a 'second adult' behind them. In addition to the figure that just fought with the senior, there is a second one."
A look of reminiscence emerged on Fang Yuan's face, and he spoke slowly.
Hearing this, Su Mu frowned.
If what Fang Yuan said is true, then there is more than one mastermind behind this.
The figure who had just fought with him was just a clone, but he already had such a powerful force. If there was a second person, Su Mu would have to re-examine his situation.
Because with Su Mu's current strength, he is confident that he can fight against one person, but if he fights against two people, he will definitely be unable to cope with it.
This will result in one person holding back another person and allowing the other person to do whatever he wants with the person behind him.
The information Fang Yuan provided was very important, and it gave Su Mu a rough idea of the enemy's size.
"It's already dark, and it's getting late."
"Let's move on and sit down in my mansion."
Su Mu said to Fang Yuan.
Hearing this, Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Senior, no."
"I can't go to my senior's house."
After saying this, Su Mu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why?"
"Senior, I have already come into contact with the enemy. I am not sure if the enemy has left any tricks on me."
"If I rashly go to your residence, I'm worried that I'll expose where you live, which would be very disadvantageous to you."
Fang Yuan's words stunned Su Mu. He didn't expect that Fang Yuan would think of this.
"Senior, although I haven't had deep contact with the enemy, I can feel that they have been paying attention to your movements."
"Another thing is, I don't know if you live alone, so please don't tell me."
"If there are important relatives or family members in your home, you must be careful and hide them well, and don't let others know."
Fang Yuan was very cautious. He rejected Su Mu's invitation because he was worried that the enemy had left some kind of "surveillance" mark on him. Because the enemy was so powerful, this was entirely possible.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, he could not go to his predecessor's residence and expose his predecessor's home.
He was even so cautious that he would not even ask. He would not ask where his seniors lived or if there were other people in the family. These were all very important information, which he could not know because with his abilities, he was not qualified to know these, let alone to protect these memories.
Therefore, the best result is to know nothing. This is the best result, so as not to affect Senior Su because of yourself.
After listening, Su Mu was silent for a while and said, "Come with me."
Soon, Su Mu led Fang Yuan into a tributary water area.
This tributary water area is relatively wide, and it has a beautiful environment. There are many precious fish in the river, and the water quality is clean and pollution-free.
There is a small floating island above the water. Although it is not very big, it is several thousand square meters and is completely suitable for living.
"Senior, where is this?"
Fang Yuan looked at the floating island in front of him and hesitated to go on board because he was worried that this might be his senior's home.
"Come up, this is not where I live."
Only after hearing this answer did Fang Yuan step onto the floating island.
Arriving on the floating island, you will see various kinds of bizarre precious trees, fluorescent vines crisscrossing the woods, bamboo forests, and fireflies dotting the picture. The environment is beautiful, quiet and pleasant.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Fang Yuan was also stunned.
Every flower and herb here is not simple, they are all top-notch medicines.
Su Mu brought Fang Yuan to the center of the island. He chose a suitable location and waved his hand. Bamboo logs flew out from the forest and a small bamboo courtyard was built in an instant.
After doing all this: "I just built a simple prototype for this yard, and you can build it according to your own preferences later."
Hearing this, Fang Yuan was stunned, pointed at himself and said: "Senior, this... is this for me?"
Su Mu nodded and said, "The environment in this area of water is pretty good, and there are no ferocious beasts around, so it's suitable for quiet cultivation."
Su Mu's action meant that he officially accepted Fang Yuan and regarded Fang Yuan as his own.
Because he knew very well that Fang Yuan had taken such a great risk to pass on important information to him. Once he left here, he would definitely be severely retaliated by the enemy.
Su Mu is not the kind of person who would destroy the bridge after crossing it. He certainly would not put him in danger. Besides, he also admired Fang Yuan very much. Leaving him on the river was the best option, which at least could ensure his safety.
When he can leave here, he can take Fang Yuan away with him, and he will focus on training him.
"Senior, I..." For a moment, Fang Yuan was speechless. He did not expect that the senior would build a mansion for him in the long river of time and let him stay.
"how?"
"Don't you want to follow me?" Su Mu said with a smile, his hands behind his back.
"No, I am willing to follow you until death, this is undeniable!" Fang Yuan expressed his firm attitude.
"But." Fang Yuan had vowed to follow Senior Su till death from the very beginning, otherwise he would never have been able to do so.
What he was worried about was that with his weak strength, if he stayed on the River of Time, let alone whether he could live on the River of Time for a long time, he would not be able to help his predecessors here and might even be a burden to them.
"Just what?"
"I can't seem to help you in any way if I stay here."
Hearing this, Su Mu was stunned, and said with a smile: "You have helped me a lot, and who can predict the future?"
"As long as you practice hard, you may be able to become my right-hand man in the future."
Although Fang Yuan was not the most talented young man Su Mu had ever seen, he was the smartest, most thoughtful, and best-minded person Su Mu had ever seen.
Sometimes, talent isn't the most important thing.
Therefore, Su Mu was also very optimistic about Fang Yuan. Anyway, he had reached the end of refining. If all went well, he would be able to leave here in one or two years.
After he left, Fang Yuan was considered the first cultivator he officially recruited.
"The traces of spiritual power on your body and the way you practice seem to be different from those of other cultivators?" Su Mu asked.
Hearing this, Fang Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "I come from a small place, and the people in my place have a very simple way of cultivation."
"We are 'refining Gu'."
After saying this, Su Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "Refine Gu?"
