Reverend Insanity (Rizzed Edition)

Chapter 19: Rules And Regulations

The Clan Ain't Just Rules And Regs

The academy elder stood in the corner, looking like he just got called to the principal's office. "Clan leader, what's up?" he asked, trying to keep his cool.

Gu Yue Bo squinted his eyes like a wise old grandpa about to drop some ancient wisdom. "Sit down, bro. I've got a story for you."

The academy elder sat, ready to vibe with the clan leader's tale. Gu Yue Bo began:

So, Ren Zu, the OG sigma male, had just bagged the Rules and Regulation Gu. These two Gu were like the ultimate cheat code—one was round, the other was square, and together they could catch ANY Gu in the world. Ren Zu's first order? "Yo, catch me a Longevity Gu. I need that eternal youth rizz."

Rules and Regulation Gu were like, "Bet." They snatched the Longevity Gu, and Ren Zu was back to his 20-year-old self, flexing like he just hit the gym. But then Rules Gu said, "Yo, human, every time you use us, we add a new rule. This is Rule #1: We won't catch the same Gu twice. So no more Longevity Gu for you, fam."

Ren Zu was like, "Bruh, okay." He rolled with it.

Next, he dropped his second order: "Aight, catch me ALL the Gu in the world except the Longevity Gu. I'm about to be the Gu King."

Rules and Regulation Gu went full beast mode. Rules Gu turned into a giant circle, and Regulation Gu turned into a massive square. Together, they formed a net that covered the ENTIRE world. When they pulled it back, they had ALL the Gu… or so they thought.

But when Ren Zu opened the net, most of the Gu dipped faster than a TikTok trend. Only five Gu stayed behind: Strength Gu, Wisdom Gu, and three randoms.

Ren Zu was like, "WTF? Why they leaving?"

Rules and Regulation Gu explained, "Bro, you gotta SUBDUE the Gu yourself. We can catch 'em, but you gotta make 'em work for you. Also, new rule: We can only catch one Gu at a time now. Skill issue, my guy."

Ren Zu sighed and turned to Strength Gu. "Strength Gu, you left me before. Wanna come back? I'll give you freedom."

Strength Gu was like, "Nah, human. I only obey those stronger than me. But I'll make a deal—give me your youth, and I'll work for you temporarily."

Ren Zu thought about it. He'd just gotten his youth back, but he needed that sigma strength. So he traded his youth for Strength Gu and became middle-aged again. Strength Gu perched on his shoulder, and Ren Zu was feeling himself.

Next, he turned to Wisdom Gu. "Wisdom Gu, you left me too. Wanna come back?"

Wisdom Gu was like, "Human, I only obey those smarter than me. But I'll make a deal—give me your middle age, and I'll work for you."

Ren Zu was like, "Nah, bro. I'm not giving up my middle age. I'll be old as hell. Pass."

Wisdom Gu panicked. "Fine, human. If you tell me how you caught me, I'll work for you for free."

Ren Zu, being a little too honest, blurted out, "I used Rules and Regulation Gu."

Wisdom Gu laughed. "HA! Now I know their names. They can't catch me anymore!" And just like that, Wisdom Gu dipped, leaving Ren Zu in shambles.

Rules and Regulation Gu were like, "Bruh, we TOLD you not to tell anyone our names. Now Wisdom Gu's out there spreading our business. L for you, human."

Ren Zu realized he'd been played. Big L.

Gu Yue Bo finished the story and looked at the academy elder like, "You get it, right?"

The academy elder's brain was working overtime. "Clan leader, are you saying Fang Yuan is like Wisdom Gu? He's been caught by the clan's rules, but he's gonna dip if we push him too hard?"

Gu Yue Bo nodded. "Exactly. Fang Yuan's got that sigma energy, but if we keep pressuring him, he's gonna bounce. We gotta let him vent. He's just a C-grade, but he's still Fang Zheng's twin. Blood ties matter more than rules."

The academy elder was like, "But bro, Fang Yuan's out here extorting everyone. He's got the Liquor worm now. What if he becomes too OP?"

Gu Yue Bo smirked. "Let him cook. The clan's been around for a thousand years. One edgy teen ain't gonna take us down. Plus, Fang Zheng's got that A-grade rizz. I'll train him personally. Fang Yuan's just a stepping stone."

The academy elder nodded, finally understanding. "So, we let Fang Yuan do his thing, and the clan's bonds will keep him in check?"

Gu Yue Bo leaned back, looking out the window at the moon. "Exactly. The clan ain't just rules and regs. It's about family, blood, and that sigma grindset. Remember, the sea's big because it can hold all the rivers. Be like the sea, bro."

The academy elder bowed. "Got it, clan leader. I'll let Fang Yuan vibe."

You All Are Monkeys

The moon was extra gyatt tonight, shining like a giant skibidi toilet in the sky. The moonlight draped over Qing Mao Mountain, giving it that rizz-filled glow.

Jia Fu and his crew were riding the Treasure Brass Toad, hopping a hundred meters at a time. The mountain path was no match for this sigma toad. They were heading back to the merchant caravan, but the vibe was tense. Jia Fu's face was colder than a Discord mod's basement.

One of his subordinates finally broke the silence. "Master, what's the plan? When we get back, how are we gonna explain Jia Jin Sheng's death? Should we find a scapegoat or something?"

Jia Fu shook his head, his voice calm but dripping with sigma energy. "Do you know the story of Ren Zu?"

The subordinate blinked, confused. "Uh… no?"

Jia Fu smirked. "Ren Zu had the Rules and Regulation Gu. He could catch any Gu in the world, but he lost Wisdom Gu because he got played. In the end, he captured Attitude Gu, Belief Gu, and Suspicion Gu. He made a bet with them—whoever he caught would be his. Guess which one he got?"

The subordinate scratched his head. "Uh… Attitude Gu?"

Jia Fu nodded. "Exactly. Attitude means everything. No matter if my father believes me or suspects me, I've already shown my attitude. I investigated Jia Jin Sheng's disappearance, rushed to the Gu Yue clan, and even used the Bamboo Gentleman to prove Fang Yuan's innocence. I've done everything I should. I don't need a scapegoat. I'm going back honest."

The subordinate's eyes widened. "Master, you think Jia Gui's behind this?"

Jia Fu's face twisted with anger. "Who else? He's the only one sneaky enough to pull this off. I didn't want to stoop to his level, but now? It's war."

Meanwhile, far away on a hillside, Fang Yuan stood silently, watching Jia Fu's group disappear into the distance. The moonlight bathed the landscape, making everything look like a scene from a sigma male's dream.

"Finally, the trouble from killing Jia Jin Sheng is settled," Fang Yuan thought, his mind calm. He'd been playing 4D chess this whole time, using everyone like pawns. From the academy elder to Jia Fu, he'd manipulated them all.

He'd started by stirring up drama at the academy, hiding the Liquor worm, and extorting his classmates to show his "weakness." Then he waited for Jia Fu to show up, played the scared teenager during the interrogation, and let the Gu Yue clan and Jia Fu's caravan clash. In the end, he walked away clean, leaving Jia Gui to take the blame.

"Gu Yue Bo will probably step in now," Fang Yuan mused. "He'll focus on Fang Zheng, not me. And Jia Fu? He's convinced Jia Gui's the culprit. Let them fight. It'll only benefit me."

He thought about Tie Xue Leng, the divine investigator Jia Fu mentioned. "Tie Xue Leng… he's a big name in the righteous path. But it'll take years for him to get here. By then, I'll be Rank two or three. Life will be different."

The night wind blew, carrying the fresh scent of the mountains. Fang Yuan took a deep breath, feeling refreshed. He looked out at the landscape, the mountains and moon reflecting in his eyes.

"The bright moon illuminates among pines, the clear spring flows upon stone," he recited softly, thinking of an old fable from Earth. "A group of monkeys saw the moon in a well and tried to fish it out. They grabbed each other's tails, forming a chain, but when the first monkey touched the water, the moon disappeared."

He smirked. "People in this world are like those monkeys. They chase illusions, thinking they're real. But I? I'll become the real moon, rising above the mountains and heavens, toying with the clouds and seas."

On the hill, Fang Yuan stood alone, his shadow cast faintly on the limestone by the golden moon. Sigma energy radiated from him.
