Thanks for the invitation, I just entered the chat group after traveling through Under One Person.

Chapter 244 Truly Graceful
The other group members arrived. Yang Jian, who had just parted ways, along with the two Qiaos, and then their father.

"Huh? Shuhang, you have kids among your foreign aid workers?!" Tsuchibo noticed Ai Haibara's arrival and couldn't help but say to Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang didn't react immediately. Looking over, he saw that the little girl Tu Bo was talking about had short, slightly curly brown hair with a natural curve at the ends. There were a few irregular curls at the nape of her neck, which appeared light flaxen in the sunlight.

With a small and delicate face and fair, almost translucent skin, she seemed to have heard what Tu Bo said, and her icy blue pupils glanced over with a sense of indifference.

Despite being weaker than him, Ai Haibara still put immense pressure on Song Shuhang. Come to think of it, Ai Haibara's demeanor bears a resemblance to Su Shi A-Sixteen, whom he knows.

"Ahem... Her cultivation method is a bit special." Song Shuhang coughed lightly, then made up an excuse to prevent his friend from treating Ai Haibara like a child.

"I understand, it's the Heavenly Child Granny." Tu Bo nodded.

Upon hearing Tu Bo's words, Su Yun and the others couldn't help but smile. "Tianshan Child Granny," that's a very apt description.

"Hahaha... Tianshan Child Granny... Hahaha..." Su Yun and the others only smiled slightly, but the guy who arrived at this moment laughed wildly.

"Sister Yiyi..." Ai Haibara looked helpless. She wouldn't react this way to unfamiliar group members; they'd just smile at most. She now knew what it felt like to have a close, mischievous friend show up when she made a fool of herself.

The girl laughing wildly looked eighteen or nineteen, but actually older; she was just a practitioner of spiritual cultivation, which made her appear younger. She had long, fluffy, curly, light brown-gray hair, the strands light and flowing, with a few wisps fluttering in the breeze.

As a cultivator, Cheng Yiyi had delicate, fair skin with a faint blush on her cheeks, making her look gentle and captivating. Her eyes were clear brown, round in shape, with long, curled eyelashes. She wasn't strikingly beautiful, but rather possessed a gentle and charming appearance. However, her expression as she mocked Ai Haibara at this moment was anything but gentle.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists." A gentle voice rang out, and everyone looked over to see a young Daoist.

Wearing a light brown Taoist robe with dark brown trim on the edges and cuffs, the robe has a heavy yet elegant feel; wearing a soft hat of the same color, with a subtle and exquisite pattern in the center of the hat, and a few strands of long black hair quietly hanging down from under the brim.

A dark cloth belt was tied around his waist, and a pair of brown-red leather double bags hung on his right side, with simple and neat metal buckles on the bag openings; a rustic wooden box bound with thick rope was slung across his left shoulder, the mottled body of the box seeming to bear the vicissitudes of time.

With delicate features, a calm expression, and a faint smile, he bowed to Su Yun, Venerable Bai, and the others.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang Mingzi..." the crowd returned the greeting.

This person is another fifth-tier combatant in the group besides Su Yun. Su Yun was able to reach this combat power because his mastery of a flawed law was somewhat overpowered.

Jiang Mingzi was truly invincible in his own world, the pinnacle of those who sought the Dharma. His only weakness was that he was too strong; every move he made would disturb the law of causality and get him struck by lightning. Now, after joining the chat group, he gained a special ability that allowed him to act regardless of the law of causality, thus eliminating his only weakness.

Su Yun couldn't help but feel sorrow for the Dharma Corpses of the Sun and Moon World, who were facing a Worldly Immortal Lord who disregarded the law of cause and effect and could act recklessly on any timeline.

If the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries hadn't merged into the world during his slumber, making it impossible for him to kill him, and if he hadn't needed to wage a causal war at three different points in time to kill him simultaneously in order to win the battle, then Jiang Mingzi alone would have been enough to crush the Corpse Immortal of Ten Thousand Industries.

Jiang Mingzi was a cheerful, interesting, and cunning strong person who easily became familiar with the other group members. During this time, the last member of their gathering arrived. Fang Yuan was dressed in the most common, rough-textured ordinary clothes, without any special features or decorations. His appearance was unremarkable; he would blend into a crowd and be easily forgotten.

Fang Yuan, who used the alias Black Earth, originally had his skin scorched by flames, but thanks to Shang Xinci, it was restored. Fang Yuan's original appearance was quite ordinary; it wasn't until he obtained the Supreme Immortal Embryo that his looks skyrocketed to top-tier.

The Supreme Immortal Embryo Gu is a constitution Gu developed by the Ghostly Demon Lord. It pursues perfection, which naturally includes outstanding appearance and high looks.

At this moment, Fang Yuan, who seemed unremarkable, gave people a feeling of warmth and gentleness, and looked like an honest person.

"Is this the Great Love Immortal Venerable? Hmm, he certainly has that air about him." Cheng Yiyi saw Fang Yuan and sighed softly.

"Pfft~" Su Yun almost burst out laughing inside when she heard Cheng Yiyi's exclamation.

But isn't the so-called great love about saving all beings from suffering? Then how about Fang Yuan, who destroyed the Destiny Gu, allowing all beings to control their own destinies, and created a massive, infinitely resurrecting array?
The White Venerable didn't care about Fang Yuan's identity. Their group's Zhuge Liang was also both righteous and evil. As for Saber, the only good and lawful member in the chat group who once declared that she was irreconcilable with evil, her nature had long since changed under the tempering of the Paradise of Reincarnation.

In reality, Fang Yuan revealing his life story now won't have much impact on him within the group. After all, with Rick constantly lowering the bar for chaos and disorder, his actions are pretty much irrelevant.

These two are actually opposites in personality. Rick is the type who becomes empty and gives up after failing to kill his enemy. Fang Yuan, on the other hand, has traveled all over the Reverse River and refined the Perseverance Gu.

If you put the personality Fang Yuan honed into Rick, he could truly hunt down the original Rick to the ends of the earth. He could destroy every parallel universe he passes through, ensuring the original Rick never has a chance to come to this parallel world.

In this extreme situation, any other capable Rick would either try to kill him or help him find the original Rick. Given Fang Yuan's style of doing things, he is absolutely capable of doing such a thing.

The main point is that Rick comes from a foreign work's world, and the story aims to showcase the author's perspective. Fang Yuan, on the other hand, is a protagonist from a Chinese novel's villainous genre. Given that he possesses abilities similar to Rick's, he doesn't need to consider so many things; he just needs to kill.

With Fang Yuan's acting skills, even an old fox like Zhuge Liang would have a hard time seeing through him. However, based on some information from the previous chat group and Su Yun's reaction, it's not hard to guess that the other party's gentle and warm demeanor was an act.

These things don't matter. If they like to act, let them act. As long as it doesn't involve them personally and there's no conflict, they can do whatever they want. For example, even if the Immortal Lord of Ten Thousand Laws wanted to appear as a woman, no one would say anything.

Of course, there's no need for someone whose nickname is "Tequila Girl" to cross-dress; it's just an eyesore and affects others.

Fang Yuan himself was aware of this, but he still interacted with the group members in this manner; it was his habit of concealing his true self. Fang Yuan had spent most of his life performing. He had never had any "sincerity" to play: the lone Gu Master on Qingmao Mountain, the bold and unrestrained demonic Gu Master during his Black Soil era, the junior brother Taibai Yunsheng during his Gu Immortal era…

It's somewhat similar to Zhang Chulan's situation, but Zhang Chulan's hidden agenda, to put it bluntly, was for survival; while Fang Yuan's was for profit. Family, love, friendship... all are tools he uses. Of course, his family ties were bought off with half a yuan stone, so there's nothing to say about that.

Fang Yuan offered six yuan stones, but Fang Zheng used his family ties to bargain down to five and a half, which was only worth half a yuan.
