The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"Tell me exactly what I did and where I was."

The group opened their mouths to speak, but Fang Yun interrupted them again.

“I don’t know where you saw me or what I did. I just want to say that I only remember that when you were in Xiyuan, you were almost shot by bullets, and I was the one who shielded you.”

“If this is how you treat me, this is how you repay kindness with enmity, then you can continue to act this way, and I will not say a bad word about you.”

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, two guards visibly lost their composure, their previously ramrod-straight postures now hunching slightly.

"This……"

They were indeed unable to speak.

"Hmph, I, Fang Yun, have always been an upright man and would never do anything underhanded. If I have done anything wrong, you can point it out directly, and I will not utter a single word of dissent."

"But to fabricate such a clumsy lie in an attempt to frame Fang, don't you think this is a bit too shameless? Aren't you martial artists?"

Fang Yun asked a series of questions.

Chapter 544 Stern Words

Fang Yun's hurtful words left the group speechless and stammering. They couldn't bear to hear such harsh words from someone who had once saved them.

But Riren's gaze compelled them to continue speaking.

“Young Master Fang, I advise you to admit it. The Gu family is not a place for you to stay. Why do you insist on staying here?”

"If I were you, I would still make the right decision as soon as possible, don't you think?"

Li Ren approached Fang Yun and spoke to him in an almost threatening tone, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery.

Li Ren knew exactly what Fang Yun was thinking. Fang Yun knew that he was saying this on purpose, so his words were just advice for Fang Yun to be careful.

If he could use this as an excuse to leave the Gu family, then Li Ren could naturally not pursue the matter further, and might even exonerate him, simply letting him leave.

However, if Fang Yun insists on staying, Ren Li will make sure he has no good days here.

Therefore, Li Ren believes that Fang Yun will be able to make the right and wrong decision and how to choose.

"Actually, if things have progressed this far, you're almost there. But you've overlooked a crucial condition."

At this moment, Fang Yun sighed softly, as if he were very helpless and heartbroken.

“Originally, I was going to let you off the hook because you were protecting the Gu family, but your behavior was just too outrageous. If we continued to let you continue like this, it would really harm the interests of the Gu family. So, you must take responsibility today.”

Li Ren was a little confused by Fang Yun's sudden words and almost didn't react for a moment before he said, "Mr. Fang, what are you talking about? I can't hear you. Are you confused?"

"Hmph, I'm not confused, it's just that you've always been too arrogant, daring to act like this. Since that's the case, I can't let you live."

After Fang Yun finished speaking, his entire aura suddenly changed, and lightning flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, Li Ren and the others felt a jolt in their hearts, as if a great calamity was about to befall them.

At this moment, Gu Tingfang also sighed slightly and said, "Captain Li, your performance almost made me believe you, but you really don't know the background of Young Master Fang and you still fabricate such things so recklessly."

"What's the story?" Li Ren asked, unconvinced.

"Young Master Fang... no, Celestial Master Fang, do you even know what a Celestial Master is?"

"Heavenly Master?"

Li Ren was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"You mean he's a Celestial Master? How is that possible? Celestial Masters are like gods who can traverse heaven and earth, how could he possibly be a Celestial Master..."

Before Li Ren could finish speaking, he noticed that Fang Yun pointed his finger across the sky, and blue light was dancing in his palm, as if he were a god who controlled thunder and lightning.

"This...this, this is really a Celestial Master?"

Li Ren was dumbfounded, and his brothers all knelt down on the ground with a thud, saying in fear, "Master, Master, this was all Li Ren's plan!"

“We originally thought we were just helping him get rid of you, but we didn’t expect that he killed Du Er and wanted to endanger your life. We were really struggling with this.”

"Hmph!" Fang Yun snorted coldly. "You people, you clearly received my kindness, yet you repay it with enmity. With a formidable enemy at hand, you dare to use such underhanded tricks to obscure the truth. I will not punish you; you may simply take off your clothes and leave the Gu family."

"Yes……"

Although they were extremely reluctant, leaving the Gu family after causing such a huge disaster was the best way out for them. As they left, they all looked at Li Ren with pity.

As the instigator, Li Ren will definitely not be let off by Fang Yun.

At this moment, Li 850 Ren buried his face in the ground, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Master Fang, I really didn't know you were a Celestial Master. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to do it even if you gave me a hundred lives. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive me this time..."

"Hmph, according to you, if the person standing here wasn't me, but someone else, you could frame him at will? Even take his life?"

“This…” Li Ren was speechless.

“Your crimes are heinous. You directly took Du Er’s life, so you cannot escape punishment today. I will punish you on behalf of Heaven and destroy you, you traitor.”

As Fang Yun spoke, the lightning in his hand had grown to the size of a sphere. When he pushed the sphere toward Nali Ren, Nali Ren tried to run away, but the lightning completely enveloped him, and he was reduced to ashes almost without uttering a scream.

Gu Tingfang and Aunt Pei, who were watching from the sidelines, could only sigh at the sight.

Chapter 545 Sincere Apology

“Young Master Fang, this time it was my fault for not disciplining my servants properly, which allowed this to happen to you. It is truly my responsibility, and I apologize to you here.”

Gu Tingfang looked apologetic and bowed gracefully.

"No need." Fang Yun said calmly, "I've seen plenty of treacherous villains like this. It's normal that someone your age can't recognize them. After all, you're a victim too, and you don't even know what that guy is up to."

Aunt Pei burst out laughing when she heard Fang Yun speak in such an old-fashioned manner: "What do you mean by 'our young lady is this age'? You don't seem to be any older than our young lady, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun could only manage a dry laugh, momentarily speechless.

"Alright, alright, Aunt Pei, Young Master Fang is indeed exceptional, and it's perfectly normal for him to offer some guidance to Tingfang in certain areas. I would be more than happy to do so."

Hearing Gu Tingfang's earnest words, Aunt Pei simply sighed, "Never mind, I don't even know what to say to you, girl. I'll go back and prepare now. You should all go and rest as soon as possible; we'll have a tough battle to fight later."

After Aunt Pei left, Fang Yun and Gu Tingfang stood there and looked at each other without saying a word, feeling somewhat awkward.

"Ahem." Fang Yun coughed. "Then Miss Gu should go and rest first. There's already a lot to do today. Although there are still greater difficulties to overcome, we still need to take good care of our health."

"Alright, Young Master Fang, you should also get some rest."

Afterwards, the two parted ways and went to their own courtyards.

When Fang Yun was halfway there, he suddenly felt a little empty in his stomach. He hadn't eaten anything while running all the way, which made him feel hungry.

However, he was unfamiliar with the Gu family's place and felt embarrassed to approach Gu Tingfang now and ask her to get him some food. That would probably trouble Gu Tingfang for a long time, so Fang Yun thought about it and decided against it.

Therefore, Fang Yun decided to go out first and see if there were any places to eat on the streets.

Fang Yun then walked towards the gate of the Gu family. Since many guards had left, only some ordinary security personnel remained. They gradually recognized Fang Yun's face and greeted him warmly.

"Young Master Fang, are you going out?"

"Yeah, I'm going out to take care of some things."

After walking out the door, Fang Yun walked along a road for a long time before finally reaching the street, where there were many small shops on both sides.

Fang Yun glanced around and chose a stall selling scallion oil noodles. For some reason, Fang Yun particularly liked the aroma of scallion oil. Although it was simple and quick to make a bowl of noodles with scallion oil, it suited Fang Yun's taste perfectly.

When Fang Yun entered the store, he found that although it was small, it was very clean. The few tables were covered with stickers, giving it a fresh feel.

"Boss, give me a bowl of scallion oil noodles and a bowl of clear soup."

Fang Yun glanced at the menu and then called out to the owner, who was busy working inside. The owner, a middle-aged man in his forties, was working hard and immediately responded when he heard Fang Yun's voice.

"Please wait a moment, have a seat, I'll be right there!"

Fang Yun then casually found a seat and sat down, instantly feeling as if all the fatigue in his body had been released. He felt completely liberated from a different state.

He wasn't saying the Gu family was bad; on the contrary, it was a wonderful place. Everything there was exquisite and expensive just by looking at it. But people need to experience different lifestyles.

Spending too much time in one environment isn't necessarily a good thing.

The ordinary young men and women sitting in the shop now, engrossed in eating noodles, are probably just kids from ordinary families. They might have chosen this place because it's cheap. They wouldn't have the chance to meet someone like Fang Yun in their daily lives.

However, in such an environment, seeing several different types of people is a relaxing and enjoyable experience for Fang Yun.

Just as Fang Yun was looking around, a sudden 'snap' startled him. He then realized that a woman dressed as a white-collar worker, about thirty years old, with heavy makeup, had appeared at the next table.

She just slammed her bag onto the table. (Qian Li's)

"Is the boss here? Bring me your menu."

"The menu is on the wall, take a look for yourself."

The shop owner was busy and casually replied when he heard this, but the woman angrily said, "What's wrong with the shop owner? Is it so hard to ask you for a menu? If you don't give me a menu, how can I tell you about my dietary restrictions?"

The boss was taken aback when he saw the man throwing a tantrum, then looked over and said, "Just tell me what you want; I can hear you here."

The woman looked quite displeased and said, "Your shabby shop is so difficult to talk to. If I weren't in a hurry, who would eat here?"

Chapter 546 Such a Face

"If you feel that our small shop can't afford to entertain you, there's a Xiangkang Hotel just 50 meters to the left after you go out. I heard that the chefs there are all master chefs from Yanzhou. You can try going there."

The woman said, "I'm busy, so hurry up and give me a bowl of scallion oil noodles and a bowl of wontons. I'm in a rush."

The middle-aged owner ignored her and let her name the dish before preparing to leave.

A few minutes later, the owner came out with a tray, carrying steaming hot scallion oil noodles and clear soup. The girl took out a tissue to wipe the chopsticks on the table and prepared to eat, but the owner put the food on Fang Yun's table instead.

"Please enjoy."

The shop owner said he was about to leave, but the woman objected and yelled, "What's wrong with this shop owner? Why is the food I ordered on his table?"
