Chapter 646: Chapter 306 Accommodation
After a brief chat, Fang Yu brought up Shan Sichen and the Bai Family backing him, causing Ding Hui to suddenly stop what she was doing and raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? Qian Guxing seems quite popular."
"I guess they’re eyeing the profitable opportunity of the Prison. Qian Guxing is just incidental."
Ding Hui continued with her tasks, but kept talking.
"Diao Deyi, don’t meddle in everything. The waters of the Five Great Families run deep, if you get too entangled, I won’t be able to save you either. Be wise and protect yourself, understand?"
Fang Yu was puzzled.
What do you have to protect me with...
No, wait.
Ding Hui does have some connections, although they are mostly with people outside of Tianyuan Town; the strength of these connections is hard to say, but she does have the ability to protect others.
Fang Yu felt slightly moved.
He responded with a smile.
"Don’t worry, I’ll be careful."
Ding Hui put down the small knife in her hand, turned around, and looked Fang Yu in the eyes.
"You’d better be careful; there aren’t many people I care about in Tianyuan Town."
Ding Hui has been acting... oddly lately.
Fang Yu felt somewhat overwhelmed and averted his gaze, his voice and demeanor subdued.
"I, too, don’t have many people I care about..."
But when he looked up, Ding Hui had already turned back to her work as if she hadn’t heard him.
Well, if she didn’t hear, so be it...
Fang Yu turned to leave, but suddenly, as if he remembered something, he asked.
"By the way, Ding Hui, do you recognize this pattern?"
The floor of the Prison was covered in blood. Fang Yu casually smeared some on his palm and drew a cloud outline with lightning inside it.
That was the last clue given by Miss Xiu Xiu before her death, which Fang Yu then saw at the bottom of a water tank in the rice shop.
Fang Yu didn’t know what it meant, but Ding Hui, well-informed as she was, might know.
However, after Ding Hui glanced at it, she looked away.
"It’s the emblem of the Thunder Cloud Sect, a group that worships the mythical immortals. But there are no immortals in our world, so the people of this sect are pretty insane. I haven’t had direct contact with them, you’d have to ask people in the world about it."
Strictly speaking, Ding Hui isn’t considered part of the world, she belongs to the academic side.
But she has extensive connections, so she knows a lot.
Thunder Cloud Sect...
There are no immortals in the world...
Fang Yu thoughtfully.
Seeing Ding Hui very busy, Fang Yu greeted her and departed without further disturbance.
He had to arrange to take Li Xunxue to Research Demon Mansion.
Also, there were some loose ends that needed to be taken care of by demons.
As soon as Fang Yu left, Ding Hui abruptly stopped her work, watching in the direction he had gone, lost in thought.
"You must care about me too."
"But, what kind of person are you really... Diao Deyi..."
She shook her head slightly, dismissing her distractions, and continued with her research.
...
[System Notification: Congratulations Player on defeating [Chain Spear Demon], gaining 700 Experience!]
[System Notification: Experience points break through 100, converted to 7 attribute points.]
After browsing the system logs...
He waved to Qian Guxing, who still looked as if he was watching his spouse from the door, and Fang Yu strode out.
He didn’t return to his home, but had other plans in mind.
Upon leaving the Foolish Underworld, Fang Yu headed straight for the Hundred Disease Pharmacy on Shiheng Street.
The reputation of Hundred Disease Pharmacy was not good, and its location was remote, hence the business was also not very good.
Thus, as soon as Fang Yu entered, the shopkeeper and the only assistant immediately noticed him.
The assistant had no particular reaction, but the shopkeeper shook violently.
He hurriedly came out from behind the counter.
"Sir..."
He was about to say something, but Fang Yu raised his hand and stopped him.
"There’s no tail following, let’s talk inside."
"Yes!"
After instructing the assistant to close the door, Fang Yu followed the shopkeeper into a small house in the backyard.
"Bie Huzi, call [Rong Qiulu] and [Bo Ange], I have a task for you."
Indeed, the man before him was Bie Huzi.
As Fang Yu’s family and territorial influence expanded, some territories had come under his control.
Bie Huzi was in charge of this area, as well as most of the management of medicinal resources.
Though not very strong, the addition of the Scarlet-Blue Hammer Giant Ape Spirit and other such demon tails into Fang Yu’s force has gradually increased the number of demons willing to join him.
Bie Huzi might not be Fang Yu’s second in command but could still be considered in the third or fourth position, having a fair number of subordinates capable of maintaining order.
Including [Rong Qiulu] and [Bo Ange], two veteran ace enforcers, their small team was not short on numbers.
Bie Huzi wondered what matter required Diao Deyi to gather so many people.
[Rong Qiulu] and [Bo Ange]’s territories were nearby; the selection of their territories was next to each other, so they arrived rather quickly.
It was only during times of need that they would gather at meeting points like the Lingyun Inn.
Normally, they each operated on their own small territories.
After being summoned, [Rong Qiulu] and [Bo Ange] arrived quickly.
"Sir!"
"Lord Blood Demon!"
Both bowed.
"Stand up, I need you to kill someone."
The Three Demons looked at each other upon hearing this and then turned their attention back to Fang Yu.
"Who does the Sir wish to kill?"
"Shan Sichen."
"Who?"
The Three Demons looked clueless, honestly not familiar with the name.
To tell the truth, had this person not suddenly shown up causing trouble, Fang Yu wouldn’t have known who he was either.
Fang Yu, who has always kept to his own territory, slowly developing it without engaging others, was not interested in bothering about who Shan Sichen was unless he showed up uninvited.
