Chapter 1308

Fang Yuan keeps stalling: he has Xia Fei Kuai repeat the clan’s explanation of Zhang San Feng’s claim, raising one line after another for clarification even though he admits hearing the third one clearly. Xia Fei Kuai furiously repeats the whole account very slowly. Fang Yuan then says he still cannot confirm the account and must verify it with his clan first. He appears to meditate at length, and Xia Fei Kuai has to prompt him again. Xia Zhuo Mo suggests he verify with another Wu clan immortal instead of waiting on Wu Yong. When Fang Yuan asks for a name, Xia Fei Kuai angrily tells him to recommend his sister, and Fang Yuan claims to have no sister, only an elder brother, wasting further time. ^{ch. 1308}

Xia Fei Kuai, forbidden by righteous path decorum from striking Fang Yuan, seethes. Xia Zhuo Mo warns him not to fall for the provocation. Fang Yuan needles him further, asking with false concern if he really has a sister until Xia Fei Kuai backs down and calls it a slip of the tongue, then later urges him to drink tea for his health instead of discussing business. Xia Fei Kuai accuses him of trying to keep Frosty Peak indefinitely. Fang Yuan denies it, insisting Wu clan will return the peak fairly once the bloodline is confirmed, but repeats that he must verify with his clan before testing it. Pressed to name someone else who could verify it, he claims he knows no one else in the clan and blames the two Xia immortals for giving him no help, leaving them stunned that he has shifted the fault onto them. ^{ch. 1308}

Watching this, Zhang Kai Zui’s good impression of Gu Immortals shatters completely at Fang Yuan’s shamelessness. Xia Zhuo Mo privately concludes to Xia Fei Kuai that Fang Yuan is deliberately stalling because Wu clan currently lacks justification and manpower. Time favors Wu clan once Wu Zhen becomes free. Xia Fei Kuai agrees but sees no way to counter excuses that could go on endlessly. Xia Zhuo Mo says he has a plan; Xia Fei Kuai, overjoyed, then challenges Fang Yuan, calling him extremely strong and the glory of Wu clan, to a spar on Xia clan’s behalf. ^{ch. 1308}
