"I know what you're thinking. I volunteered for this. Shifu is kind to me; I'm willing to become whatever he wants."

Tian Ruichi was frighteningly naive, but this was ultimately his private matter, and Fang Yue couldn't ask too much more.

Back with Dou Hongyi, Fang Yue learned that the black shadows had suddenly turned into a pile of branches and stopped moving.

Everyone thought Fang Yue had killed the bizarre entity and performed a great service.

Fang Yue glanced at Tian Ruichi, didn't deny it, and made up a lie to muddle through.

He only told the truth to his own people: Jing Yan, Qing Chen, and Lin Ling.

"Sword Spirit… Night bro, what do you think of my comprehension? Do I have a chance to comprehend supreme sword intent from that black mist?"

"My suggestion is… drink six more walnut milks."

"…"

Ignoring Jing Yan's pestering, Fang Yue told them to take care of Lin Ling, then went to find Dou Hongyi and the others.

"The Chuanuan City's earth core is damaged. What are your plans next?"

"The bizarre black shadows didn't seem to be targeting the earth core. They only damaged it accidentally while attacking other people. Therefore, the gap isn't large. Chuanuan City's warehouse still has stone material reserves for the earth core. It will only take a day or two to repair, and it will only consume some earth fire. It's not a big problem."

What was extremely serious earth core damage to Guyue Village was nothing to Chuanuan City, because they had enough reserves and enough talent in reserve.

As long as the bizarre entities didn't occupy the city for too long, they could find time to repair the earth core.

The earth core was the foundation of a city. Without it, everyone would be eroded by the Nightchill.

[Nightchill] was extraordinary; even Lord Han couldn't withstand it, let alone ordinary people.

Of course, Lord Han's case was a very serious Nightchill injury, and the situation was different.

Lord Han had never mentioned why he contracted such a serious [Nightchill]. In the past, Fang Yue's strength was insufficient, but now his strength was steadily increasing. If Lord Han could be successfully revived, he really wanted to ask about this and help Lord Han deal with his enemies.

Rain-level certainly seemed far away, but Fang Yue was steadily and practically taking each step forward!

Chuanuan City was already in ruins, and with Tian Ruichi's sword embryo incident, many people had the idea of leaving.

If you wanted to leave Chuanuan City and go to another place in peace, you would generally follow a merchant caravan.

Now, there was the better option of leaving with the special envoy. As a result, the flow of people in front of the special envoy's residence didn't stop all night. Finally, for the sake of Tian Ruichi, who was recovering from his injuries, the decision-making power was handed over to Fang Yue.

Fang Yue rolled his eyes, went offline directly, and left it to Jing Yan and the others to worry about.

Of course, Fang Yue didn't go offline entirely because of this. Someone was looking for him outside.

…

After exiting the game, Fang Yue got out of bed and suddenly frowned.

He slowly turned over his right wrist… In addition to the needle hole where the IV was dripping, there was another small needle hole.

And when he first woke up, there was no needle hole!

His expression changed slightly, and a huge wave surged in his heart.

"Parchment!!"

[Here!!]

"There's an extra needle hole on my hand. What's going on? Why didn't you warn me when there was danger in reality! What kind of needle hole is this? Who injected venom? Or did something happen? Immediately make a prediction. I need to know how much time I have to make amends!"

[You stinky Fang Yue! All you know is to wrong Paper!]

[In my prediction, you are not in danger at all. It was the same before. There is absolutely no danger in reality. How can I warn you!]

No danger? Then what is this needle hole…

Never mind… Descend!

[Received!]

Boom!

No! That needle hole…

Fang Yue's expression darkened slightly.

The Joint Association was too large, and there were all sorts of people in it with different ideas. Who knew if there were Shadow Society members or forces supporting cheaters secretly attacking him?

He didn't feel safe at all.

At least in the Qingshui Division, everyone was familiar and there was security. Here, everything was unknown, and there was nowhere to find someone even if something happened.

Fang Yue's face darkened. At this moment…

"A… Yue? A Yue! That's great, you're finally awake! I, I thought… Wuwuwu!"

Sister Yuan, who was lying beside the bed, slowly woke up. When she saw Fang Yue awake, she shuddered and burst into tears on his blanket.

This made Fang Yue a little helpless. He comforted her for a while before she calmed down a little.

At this moment, Minister Jiang and Qiu Dugu pushed the door open and entered.

When they saw Sister Yuan lying on Fang Yue, they were stunned for a moment and silently wanted to retreat.

"Wait! Come back!"

"Isn't this a little inconvenient…"

Sister Yuan also reacted at this time. She quickly cleaned up the tears on her face, greeted the two with a red face, and then left.

She was just worried about Fang Yue's safety, and the two of them were probably here to do business.

"Fang Yue, the higher-ups are very satisfied with your last action and have decided to reward you handsomely. How are you doing now? If you're okay, pack up and come with us to meet the chairmen."

"Chairmen…?"

"Yes, they all want to see you. This is unimaginable even for people at my level. To be received by ten chairmen at the same time, your weight in their play is not small."

Minister Jiang's words were meaningful. Fang Yue immediately understood that this meant he could ask for whatever he wanted.

Fang Yue thought about it, considered what he lacked, and what he should ask for.

Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Minister Jiang, Qiu Dugu, can you help me investigate something?"

"What is it?"

Fang Yue told the two of them about the needle hole. Their expressions changed immediately, and they became serious.

"This is very serious. It means we've been infiltrated." Minister Jiang quietly clenched his fist.

"They can target you, which means the information is very accurate…" Qiu Dugu's expression was grave.

The two exchanged glances, told Fang Yue to prepare slowly, and then went to see the management, while they would thoroughly investigate the matter.

These two could be considered people Fang Yue relatively trusted, especially Qiu Dugu. He would never harm him. Even if Minister Jiang wanted to hide something, he could get the information he wanted from Qiu Dugu.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Fang Yue packed up, told Sister Yuan, and went out.

He was thinking about what rewards he should ask for.
