Chapter 567: Chapter 270: Ideals and Steps
Fang Yu was completely dumbfounded.
He had never expected that Li Baizhen would actually appear here.
And now it seemed he was involved with the Black Tiger Gang.
What on earth was going on?
As far as Fang Yu knew, Li Baizhen was not someone who would associate with a gang like the Black Tiger Gang.
If it wasn’t that he was in the middle of a task, and Zhuo Xueer was by his side, he would have wanted to tear off his disguise mask and go ask Li Baizhen what was happening.
The last time he inquired about it with the Green Demon, Li Baizhen was clearly grounded at the Li Family, unable to go out or meet anyone.
He was definitely fine.
So how come he was suddenly let out by the Li Family now?
Fang Yu looked towards Zhuo Xueer beside him.
Noticing Fang Yu’s gaze, Zhuo Xueer also slowly gathered her astounded expression and gave Fang Yu a slight shake of the head.
Li Baizhen, was her subordinate.
Moreover, he was taken away by the Li Family’s people right in front of her.
Officially, although Li Baizhen still held a position in the Foolish Underworld.
In fact, he had already lost control and could not assess the situation.
The sudden appearance now, frankly, was also a surprise to Zhuo Xueer.
It’s for sure that he couldn’t be taken away.
The Li Family would not let him go, even if they were to acknowledge each other now and take Li Baizhen back to the Foolish Underworld.
As long as the Li Family sends people, they could still take him away.
Unless the Li Family actively releases him, Zhuo Xueer currently had no way to deal with Li Baizhen’s situation.
"Diao Deyi, don’t act rashly. Taking Li Baizhen’s people back to the Foolish Underworld is useless, you should understand this principle."
Although Fang Yu appeared calm and restrained, Zhuo Xueer still spoke up to remind him.
"But..."
"Everything will be arranged by me!"
Zhuo Xueer soothed again.
Today’s task is to catch the top ranks of the Bonfire Gathering and provide enough deterrence to the incoming martial artists.
Other issues must be postponed.
Even Li Baizhen’s appearance, which disturbed Zhuo Xueer herself slightly, could not deter her from distinguishing the urgency of affairs.
And... although Li Baizhen’s expression was a bit strange and dull, he appeared to have no injuries, which means he was still relatively safe in the Li Family; only freedom was lost.
Liu Ningran, who was beside them, seemed to have heard Zhuo Xueer’s words and looked at them both strangely.
"Sister Xue’er, what’s happening? Is there a problem with those three from the Black Tiger Gang?"
"The one carrying the bow on the right, his name is Li Baizhen, used to be a Hundred Household of our Foolish Underworld."
"Now too!" Fang Yu added.
Liu Ningran: ???
It seemed a bit complicated.
She decisively played it safe, and simply asked no more questions.
Suo Fengxiang, who was mixed in the crowd on the other side, also glanced at Fang Yu. Feeling Fang Yu’s gaze about to sweep back, she quickly withdrew her gaze, her heart thumping rapidly.
Good thing she reacted quickly! Otherwise, if she met eyes with him, that would be troublesome! She might scare him again!
At that time, if that guy shrank into Madame Zhuo Xueer’s arms, how could I explain?
As Suo Fengxiang was lost in various thoughts, Lin Kuanglong and his party ahead were already surrounded by the people from the Black Tiger Gang.
Yu Wenwuji, Wu Xinbang, and Li Baizhen formed a tri-head momentum, standing in front of everyone.
Moreover, based on the positions, it was Yu Wenwuji who was the absolute core among the three.
Li Baizhen only seemed like a guard, an attendant, simply there to bulk up the scene behind Yu Wenwuji.
After many days, seeing Li Baizhen again, his face was now numb and dull. His eyes were lifeless, but Fang Yu didn’t know what he had gone through.
A pang struck Fang Yu’s heart.
Didn’t the Green Demon say that Li Baizhen was doing fine in the Li Family? How did he end up like this?
He felt a bit uncomfortable for a moment.
After all, when he first entered the Foolish Underworld, he relied on the tree that was Li Baizhen to get through, this favor of support, Fang Yu had not forgotten.
But facing the Li Family, or rather facing a Great Demon like the Shu Bird Demon, he also felt somewhat powerless.
"If my strength could improve further, reaching the Tree level, or even the Wood level, maybe I could confront the Shu Bird Demon and save Li Baizhen from the demonic Li Family."
"But at this moment, I am... powerless."
Fang Yu sighed.
But if Li Baizhen were in danger of losing his life, he would not stand by idly.
The ’tri-head’ of the Black Tiger Gang stood in front of Lin Kuanglong. Although they were imposing, their strength was not on the same level.
One side, Lin Kuanglong with 2000 blood.
On the other, the leading Yu Wenwuji, both were under a thousand blood.
Fang Yu did not know where Yu Wenwuji found the courage to stand in front of Lin Kuanglong.
If it were him, he would have long since hidden in the crowd to escape, not to mention confronting him head-on.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping from those three towards the surrounding area.
The strength of these three people, Fang Yu understood at a glance, nothing to be said.
To be able to confront Lin Kuanglong, there had to be a heavyweight player.
Fang Yu had met Yu Wenwuji a few times and knew that this man was not the type to act rashly.
Since he dared to stand out, he must have something to rely on.
[Ling Bingxia: 214/214.]
[Qi Yisong: 689/689.]
[Cheng Yizhu: 327/327.]
[Li Xunxue: 500/500.]
[Yang Yifeng: 351/351.]
Wait a second!
Fang Yu suddenly locked his gaze on one person.
Or rather, on a woman.
The woman was cloaked in black robes, her actual appearance unseen.
But the blood bar above her head was very conspicuous.
Li Xunxue?
Xunxue?
This name...
A woman from the Li Family???
Fang Yu was somewhat astonished.
As far as he knew, women from the Li Family generally wouldn’t go out on tasks.
Any that could move about were exceptional individuals.
Like Li Shisan, that kind of insane woman’s level, who could freely go out and participate in the trials of the Li Family as the men did.
