Chapter 1074: A Single Doubt Arose and Brought Endless Torment
Upon hearing Gan Xiao's words, Clan Leader Jing turned to look at Ye Guan. Ye Guan's gaze remained calm, and he said nothing. He was beginning to understand Clan Leader Jing's intentions.
Fang Yu appeared to have regained his composure, and he became aware of why things were unfolding this way. It was all because of the Academy Master.
Knowing that, a complex light flashed in his eyes.
Gan Xiao also felt complicated as he looked at Fang Yu. This young man had joined the Guanxuan Outer Guards and, in less than half a month, rose from an ordinary guard to become the First Commander. It was unprecedented.
It had taken Gan Xiao a full ten years to rise to the same position from when he first joined the Guanxuan Guards, but the young man had achieved it in just under two weeks.
Soon, Gan Xiao himself would likely be transferred to make room for this rising talent. Perhaps even more remarkable was the transformation of Fang Yu's clan. Normally, it would take a clan from a modest region like Yongzhou many generations to establish themselves in Little Guan City, not to mention the low probability of it ever happening.
They'd need the support of a powerful benefactor or produce a prodigy to do so. The Fang Clan was rising in status so quickly because of a simple conversation and the fact that Fang Yu and the Academy Master once shared a drink. This could be just the beginning.
Once the Academy Master had his eye on someone, even without making any deliberate arrangements, everyone else knew what they had to do.
A powerful, new force would soon emerge.
