Chapter 85 Invitation

Lord Jun spoke eloquently, his confidence evident even to Bai Xiaoya, who couldn't understand a thing he was saying.

"Can we eat the talking man?" Bai Xiaoya asked, pointing at Lord Jun.

"...No! Just munch on the wood for now. I'll find something tasty for you later."

Fang Yue had lost count of how many times he'd said this to Bai Xiaoya. Anyone else would've thought he was lying and left in annoyance.

But Bai Xiaoya was surprisingly simple-minded. She nodded as if she understood and continued to gnaw on the chair. Fang Yue glanced over, his lips twitching. The chair was already reduced to four legs, and even those had been stripped of their outer layer, revealing the bare wood beneath.

Fang Yue couldn't help but rub his forehead. He was starting to wish this meeting would end.

But the discussion wasn't over, and as a high-end combatant, he couldn't just run off.

After explaining the matter of the Summoning Order, Lord Jun glanced at You Sisi.

Normally, this kind of task would be handled by the Chief Qingyi, but You Sisi wasn't ready yet, so he was doing it in her stead.

The situation was urgent, and of great importance. He didn't have time to bring You Sisi along and introduce her to the leaders and elders of the various sects – these high-end combatants.

But once the crisis was over, he could thank the sects while bringing You Sisi along to establish connections with their top fighters and solidify her position.

Yes, solidify her position.

Whether a Qingyi had real power in a region often depended not only on personal strength, but also on the breadth of their relationships and the depth of their network.

Turning hand to clouds, inverting to rain!

Mastering connections allowed one to easily overturn those who disobeyed. Even if someone was parachuted in from above, years of accumulated connections would be enough to strip them of power, leaving them with no one to command and nothing to do!

Of course, Lord Jun had never used such underhanded methods with You Sisi, nor did he intend for her to target anyone.

He simply needed to teach You Sisi this principle for preventative purposes.

After all, You Sisi was a new generation he recognized. He didn't want the Qing Division to casually send someone to replace her, make a mess of Qingsi County, and then wash their hands and leave.

If that moment ever came, You Sisi could use these tactics to counteract the newcomer, secure her position, and prevent Qingsi County from descending into chaos.

Besides the Summoning Order, many other details and decisions were finalized.

In this important matter, the difference between Lord Jun and You Sisi was evident.

His seasoned approach, arranging everything in order and considering every aspect, was something You Sisi simply couldn't achieve yet.

She had the will, but replicating Lord Jun's organized and comprehensive approach was incredibly difficult.

It was a matter of experience, connections, accumulation, and the passage of time, and had nothing to do with You Sisi's personal abilities.

With all matters temporarily settled, Lord Jun stated that he would provide further notice if anything was added or remembered, and the lengthy meeting finally came to an end.

Looking at the sky, the morning sun had just risen.

Fang Yue got up and grabbed Lord Jun as he was about to leave.

"Lord Jun, please save Lord Han!"

That was a given.

After returning, Fang Yue had been frank with Lords Tian Er and Jun about Lord Han's situation.

However, Lords Tian Er and Jun were busy preparing the defenses of Qingsi County, and Lord Han's matter didn't seem like it could be resolved quickly, so it was temporarily put aside.

Now that the meeting was over, it was time to save Lord Han.

Fang Yue invited Lord Jun to his room, where he carefully examined Lord Han's condition. Lord Jun slowly frowned.

"It's a bit tricky. I did some research into formations in my younger years, so I can barely understand the basics. This is a complex formation with triple-layered interlocking loops, quite advanced.

Part of it is beneficial to Lord Han, part of it is to maintain the formation's circulation, and part of it is harmful, continuously extracting Lord Han's essence for refinement.

But all of that is manageable, as long as we remove the wooden black tubes.

The real problem is that part of the formation is specifically designed to protect the wooden black tubes and the main circulation. What I'm going to destroy is that part."

Fang Yue nodded, though he didn't quite understand.

"Then... is it difficult? Is there any risk? Do you need my help?"

"There's naturally some risk. As for the difficulty, it's still within my capabilities. As for helping, never mind. Of course, I don't mind if you want to watch."

Hearing Lord Jun's words, Fang Yue chuckled dryly.

He'd barely understood Lord Jun's detailed explanation of the formation, let alone being able to watch and learn.

However, there was someone who would be perfect for this.

"Qing Chen! Qing Chen!"

"Yes!"

After calling out twice, Qing Chen quickly ran in: "Night Bro, what's up?"

Fang Yue pointed to Lord Jun beside him: "Lord Jun is about to operate. You follow along and observe, learn about formations, and ask questions if you don't understand anything, got it?"

Qing Chen's eyes immediately lit up: "That's great! I will definitely assist Lord Jun in completing the operation!"

He had a great interest in bizarre studies, but at his core, he wanted to be a scientist. A thirst for knowledge was the foundation of every scientist.

Naturally, he was also interested in formations, but he hadn't learned them before because no one had taught him, he'd had no opportunity to learn, and without a foundation, it was difficult to even start by reading books.

But if someone were to teach him step-by-step, Qing Chen's aptitude and dedication should yield some results.

Fang Yue was relieved to leave Lord Han in the care of Lord Jun and Qing Chen.

When he left the room, he saw Captain Wu walking over.

Those faintly shimmering golden eyes gave him a strange feeling of beauty, no matter how many times he saw them.

"Captain Wu..."

"I may be going to Chu Nuan City soon."

Wh...

Fang Yue was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and fell silent.

"You're too hasty. Qingsi County is in a life-or-death crisis. Now is when we need people..."

"I know. I'll wait until Qingsi County overcomes this crisis before leaving... I came to ask you if you want to come with me?"

Fang Yue suddenly looked up, glaring at Captain Wu, and said with some anger: "What do you mean by that? Do you think I don't want to save An Dong'er? She's my sworn sister! And the last living relative of Doctor An! What reason do I have not to save her! What reason do I have not to go to Chu Nuan City?"

Hearing this, Captain Wu was silent for a moment before saying: "It's my fault. I saw you with You Sisi at the meeting earlier... and thought you were lost in the gentle embrace, forgetting about An Dong'er, forgetting about the deep-seated hatred."
