CHAPTER 851: CHAPTER 390: SITTING

What is this about the plight of this young lady’s mysterious lineage?

Could it be that this Bai Wanxi isn’t purely from the Bai Family?

Fang Yu felt puzzled in his heart.

Compared to the extent of invasion by Li Shiquan, hasn’t the Bai Family even made a start?

It seems the demons’ progress in Tianyuan Town is not fast either.

Fang Yu suddenly felt much relieved, initially thinking that the demons were closing in step by step, almost crushing the human forces.

Looking at it now, isn’t this just the beginning!

On the Bai Family’s side, it seems they haven’t even placed any personnel yet.

Then it seems I don’t need to be so on edge, I can take things slower, move slowly, blend in stealthily.

With equal strength on both sides, as they each unfold slowly, I can fish in troubled waters, taking resources from both ends, and secretly growing stronger.

"This... isn’t good, Young Master Zuo, we’ve only just met and you’re already spending on me..."

Over there, Bai Wanxi pretended to be innocent upon hearing Zuo Rui wanting to buy her clothes! She’s fully immersing herself in the role of a naive little princess!

Sis, maybe hide that 70,000-plus health bar of yours, otherwise it looks quite out of place from my side.

An old monster with over 70,000 health pretending to be innocent like a human with just over 100 health, give me a break, what kind of bizarre combination is this!

"Hey! What’s a little money! Come! Let the young master show you the world! We, people of the Five Great Families, wearing such cheap clothes, would be a laughing stock, wouldn’t Miss Bai not want to shame your family?"

The unsuspecting Zuo Rui was clearly being manipulated by Bai Wanxi.

Bai Wanxi bent her head slightly as if shy.

"Then, Young Master Zuo, I must trouble you..."

"No big deal!"

The lackey was overjoyed, thinking their relationship had progressed, showed something to the guard, then led the way into Thunder Building.

The two entered Thunder Building, from start to finish, never even glanced at the ’bystander’ beside them.

The henchman snorted disdainfully at Fang Yu, the bystander, and followed his master, leaving Fang Yu alone outside watching.

Once they left, Fang Yu quietly spoke to the guard.

"Brother, please help to notify the owner of Thunder Building that Captain Diao Deyi from the Foolish Underworld requests an audience."

Fang Yu was in casual attire, so others didn’t know his identity.

Having reached the position of captain, what you wear isn’t really stipulated unless someone superior comes and mandates wearing formal uniforms; otherwise, you can dress however you like daily.

After all, the name of the Captain of the Foolish Underworld is already well-known enough; anyone wanting to develop in Tianyuan Town should recognize the look and name of some big shots to avoid offending the wrong people.

It’s just that Fang Yu had just taken office, and his reputation hadn’t risen yet. Once a few months into development, anyone with some knowledge in Tianyuan Town would recognize the Captain of the Foolish Underworld.

The title of Captain of the Foolish Underworld is intimidating enough, immediately clearing the guard’s mind.

He scrutinized Fang Yu from top to bottom with skepticism, seemingly wondering how someone so young could be the captain of the Foolish Underworld.

But he quickly changed his attitude, respectfully saying, "Sir, please wait a moment, I’ll go report immediately."

The reason for the guard’s attitude change was simple.

Imitating the Captain of the Foolish Underworld, such a thing isn’t impossible, but it’s definitely not up to a little guard like him to judge.

His duty is just to guard the gate and report messages.

The authenticity of the message and the subsequent actions are judgments to be made by those above.

If there were really someone reckless, daring to impersonate nobles on the Li Family’s turf and waste the high-levels’ time, it essentially means courting death.

The people of the Five Great Families aren’t benevolent, killing someone under special privileges is just a blink of an eye.

The guard respectfully retreated, leaving a companion to watch there, while he went up to report.

Luckily, those two had already entered Thunder Square, otherwise if seen, Fang Yu would really worry about being targeted by Bai Wanxi.

With his current strength, he didn’t want to face such an old monster with seventy or eighty thousand health directly.

If misstepped and confronted by them, resisting would be utterly futile.

The guard needed time to report, but Fang Yu wasn’t in a hurry, so he waited on the side while observing who ordinarily frequents a place like Thunder Square.

...

Inside Thunder Building.

Hei Ao and Zuo Lv just came down from the second floor.

"Is it necessary to be so cautious?" Zuo Lv walked side by side with Hei Ao, asking in a low voice.

The other day, he had just been rescued by Hei Ao from house arrest in the family, finally free to go out.

But the price was to help Hei Ao with a favor.

"We’re going outdoors next; you can’t be too cautious," Hei Ao said coldly.

"Are you sure the information is reliable? Is that stone really in the hands of a weak woman?"

"No mistake, this is our best chance to intercept and seize the stone from that woman called Jin Yexue before she reaches that place."

As Hei Ao walked, she glanced sideways at Zuo Lv.

"When that woman left, she took the official road and a carriage. With my Hei Family’s Black Pattern Colt, which gallops a thousand miles a day, intercepting halfway shouldn’t be a problem. But we must act quickly, as the information you and I get, others can get too. If we’re slow, there’ll be a lot more competition."

Zuo Lv shrugged, "It was you who said we should move quietly to avoid being discovered, otherwise we could set off now."
