Chapter 289 Startling Statement_2



Thinking of this, Fang Yu was no longer conflicted in his heart.

"What's wrong?"

Zhuo Xueer asked in confusion, why did this guy look at her so strangely after coming out?

Could it really be that he is the illegitimate son of the Lord Hall Master, hiding his surname, changing it to Diao...

"Nothing, just a bit tired."

"Yeah, after the battle today, even I am exhausted. You probably aren't any better. There should be nothing else for us to do; we can each go home to rest after getting back."

"Yes!"

Ultimately, Zhuo Xueer still did not ask Fang Yu what the Lord Hall Master had inquired about.

Since she was asked to avoid the matter and not to listen in, there was no need to ask further.

Obedience is the most fundamental part of being a member of the Foolish Underworld.

The two walked side by side, yet both were silent.

Although the atmosphere seemed quiet, Fang Yu was actually pondering something.

That is... the higher-ups of the Foolish Underworld seemed a bit too obstinate.

They were still basking in past glory and brilliance, completely unaware that the demons who attacked this time were ferocious and well-prepared.

Fang Yu of course knew how monstrous Lin Yiqiu was.

After all, he was a witness that day.

Only, Lin Yiqiu and the Shu Bird Demon never came back after leaving, and by the time he heard any news later, they had become dead people.

The Shu Bird Demon had no reason to lie to Brother Qing, so the intelligence Brother Qing revealed to him must be accurate.

Lin Yiqiu must have died.

But the people above, they actually don't believe it!

They think Lin Yiqiu is indestructible, incredibly strong, and simply cannot die at the hands of demons.

They underestimate the demons too much.

No wonder the human side keeps suffering setbacks.

No matter, even if the higher-ups don't believe it now, once I climb to the position of Demon Foot, I can come up with a suitable reason and deliver the true news, then they will have to believe it!

Fang Yu was somewhat frustrated that the information he risked passing on did not receive any feedback.

Fortunately, there will be a rise in demon status from above; with that, everything will be easy to handle. It's merely a matter of waiting a day or two more.

"Lord Zhuo Xueer, I'll take the left path ahead."

The two were taking different routes home.

After a simple farewell, Fang Yu headed straight to the Research Demon Mansion.

Li Xunxue had been taken back to prison, and although the Li Family had the backing of the Green Demon and might be able to delay for some time, they couldn't drag it out forever.

They might send someone to demand the prisoners, which would be another trouble.

To avoid prolonged issues, it was better to immediately invite Lord Ding Hui to the prison, and figure out a way to separate Li Xunxue from Li Baizhen, or... have the reverse happen, allowing Li Baizhen to take over the consciousness.

"Lord!"

"Mr. Diao!"

At the Research Demon Mansion, Fang Yu was now well-acquainted with the place.

The guards at the entrance were even more respectful due to the rise in Fang Yu's status.

However, when Fang Yu wanted to go in and find someone, he heard the guard say,

"Lord, if you are here to find Lord Ding Hui, she's not in right now."

Ding Hui's not here??

Isn't that workaholic saying she's now fully committed to some research and won't be available for a while?

She's not available but still goes out!

"Where did she go?"

"Lord, Lord Ding Hui did not say, but she should be back before sunset. For the past few days, Lord Ding Hui has been living in the Research Demon Mansion, never taking a half step out."

Before sunset, huh...

Alright, I'll come back later to find her.

Fang Yu turned to leave.

At first, he was planning to rush straight to the prison, but suddenly, a thought struck him.

That's not right!

What kind of friend could Ding Hui have? This person, apart from her research, doesn't leave the house every day.

Through the contact over these days, Fang Yu had gotten a bit of an understanding of Ding Hui.

She didn't have many friends; in fact, she had no male acquaintances at all. Her greatest pleasure in life was to conduct various kinds of research.

If outside of research she could go somewhere... then it could only be her own home, right?

With this thought, Fang Yu immediately changed direction and headed towards his own home.

Along the way, he soon vaguely saw his home, with quite a few people gathered at the door, who seemed to be in charge of guarding the place.

Fang Yu took a closer look...

Good gracious.

[Zhang Xiaoli:746/1746.]

[Ding Hui:100/100.]

[Che Linfang:1410/1410.]

[Mi Hengpeng:100/100.]

[...]

There were indeed quite a few people, and they all seemed to represent a wide range.

Several small chairs were fully occupied.

The few leading the group seemed to be arguing about something, but it was unclear how this crowd came together.

A representative of a demon underling, a human lackey representative, a research fanatic – these three factions had all converged right at my doorstep.

Just then, my second sister came out, followed by a maid carrying tea.

[Diao Ruru: 12/12.]

[Guan Qiaofeng: 6/6.]

It's impossible not to say, among a crowd with health points in the hundreds and thousands, these two stood out conspicuously.

Watching my second sister instruct the maid to distribute tea, I also strode over.

"Lord!" Mi Hengpeng immediately put down his teacup and stood up hastily.

"Diao Deyi!" Che Linfang got up and was about to come over, but someone else got to Fang Yu before her, running even faster.

"Where have you been stirring up trouble, only coming back now! I have important things to discuss with you, come inside!"

It was the familiar Ding Hui, grabbing Fang Yu's hand, ready to head into the house.

"Second sister, come too!"

She also waved to the puzzled Diao Ruru.

"Wait! Diao Deyi... I have urgent matters to report to Diao Deyi first! Perhaps Lord Ding Hui's matters can wait for a while!" Che Linfang actually stepped in front of Ding Hui to stop her.

Beside her, the little fangirl Zhang Xiaoli also joined in the ruckus.

I don't know if it's because she's gotten more demon subordinates recently or her power has swollen her head, but Che Linfang's disguise isn't as careful anymore, daring to shout at Lord Ding Hui.

Remember your place, you're dressed in human skin, you have no right to compare status with Lord Ding Hui in the Foolish Underworld.

Speaking of which, I sent Che Linfang with the demons to Changping Street this morning, but when the chaos broke out, I saw neither hide nor hair of them, and no support came from them at all – so much for support.

"Lord, I've taken care of the housekeeper and the servants, all chosen personally by Miss Ru Ru."

The most worry-free was definitely Mi Hengpeng.

Without competing for attention, he just simply reported everything.

"If second sister is satisfied, then it's settled. I'll go over them later, and if there are no issues, I'll approve this batch of people."

Pausing for a moment, Fang Yu then looked at Che Linfang.

"Your matter, we'll discuss it later. I'm going to talk to Ding Hui about something first."

Seeing this, Che Linfang stepped back, making way, and Ding Hui snorted, seemingly not too fond of Che Linfang.

"Make way, make way!"

Pushing through the crowd, Ding Hui led the way, and Fang Yu exchanged a glance with the second sister before following.

At this moment, I felt a bit like being back in the old house, the three of us together again. Though it was only a few days, it felt like a long absence.

"Diao Deyi, how interesting! Very interesting! The things your mentor Yuan Hongxin left behind, quite fascinating! I've already unearthed some of their subtlety! I'll show you later!"

Halfway there, Ding Hui could not help but blurt out.

The things left by Yuan Hongxin?

Indeed, Yuan Hongxin's Primordial Body Technique is infinitely clever, and it can even be integrated with the power of the Demon Bloodline, transforming into a Yuan Demon Body, elevating my potential, truly brilliant.

From this perspective, my mentor was quite a genius, it's a pity he wasn't on my side.

It seems that Ding Hui came this time to show her research results.

But...

"Ding Hui, put aside the research for now, there's someone I want you to meet."

"Put it aside??"

Ding Hui suddenly stopped, turned around, and glared furiously at Fang Yu.

Though since she started aimlessly wandering from the beginning, stopping in her tracks didn't make much difference.

This person had no idea about the layout of my new residence, she was purely leading the way haphazardly.

"Do you realize what you're saying! If I can continue researching what Yuan Hongxin left, do you know what could happen! To put it aside, how dare you say that!"

Ding Hui huffed, as if my words had offended her pride.

The second sister also frowned slightly, obviously feeling that Fang Yu's words were a bit inappropriate.

Fang Yu quickly admitted awkwardly, "I'm wrong, what I mean is, I have something more important on hand right now that I need your help with."

"Humph! What is it?"

Ding Hui's tone was already sour.

If it had been anyone else who dared to speak like this, she would have turned her head and left long ago!

"Do you still remember Lord Li Baizhen?"

"Remember, wasn't he taken away by the Li Family? What, do you have news about him?"

Among a hundred, Ding Hui had some connection with only Li Baizhen.

Initially, when she became involved with Fang Yu, it was somewhat thanks to Li Baizhen's influence.

Ding Hui thought Fang Yu was going to talk about the sordid affairs within the Li Family, but Fang Yu surprised her with his next words.

"Yes, I have news. It seems that Lord Li Baizhen now... has become a [spirit]."

Ding Hui:...

Ding Hui:???

Ding Hui:!!!!
