Online: I Can See Health Bars

"This was a minor issue, after all, even a small family has many children. Qiong Xiaolou being a direct lineage member, was only the tenth child in the family, without any special privileges. Instead, he had a unique talent for enjoying life, quickly making friends with fellow clan disciples. Consequently, he was arranged to stay by the side of Young Master Hei Ao of the Hei Family, playing a subsidiary role."

"Later on, when Young Master Hei Ao suddenly devoted himself to martial arts, Qiong Xiaolou found himself without a role, spending his days in the brothel, indulging in nights of music and revelry."

"Then three days ago, all written records about him suddenly disappeared, turning into a blank slate. He himself also mysteriously vanished."

"Lord Meng Yan speculated that he might have obtained some [Artifact], and decided to find Qiong Xiaolou before the humans, to seize the [Artifact] and present it to the Great Demon above."

Che Linfang spoke all this in one breath and felt a bit thirsty, grabbing a jug of wine and gulping it down.

All that she had conjectured was mostly accurate.

At this moment, Fang Yu also remembered.

Hei Ao, brothel, subordinate...

Fang Yu suddenly slapped his thigh.

So it was him!

When he had raided the brothel, and met with Hei Ao and others, he had saved a youngster on the spur of the moment.

At that time, to avoid trouble, Fang Yu had even pretended to be Kun Shanhai, and had not seen this youngster since, naturally paying him no further attention.

Yet, he didn't expect to hear his name again here today.

He recalled that at that time, Qiong Xiaolou's strength was merely a little over a hundred blood points? Merely negligible.

Now, so much time has passed, Fang Yu's strength has skyrocketed to tens of thousands of blood points, even if converted to human martial artist strength, he's a high-tier warrior with 1500 blood points, far surpassing that fellow.

Yet unexpectedly, that guy seemed to have stumbled upon good fortune, obtained some artifact, and even attracted the attention of the demons above, looking to seize it to present it as a gift to them.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Do we have any news about him?"

"No. But in terms of finding information, we have some unique advantages."

Che Linfang was referring to their identity from the Foolish Underworld.

Other demons, even Demon Foot, Demon Body, could only seek targets within the demon circle.

But it was different for Fang Yu and his team; they could directly utilize the resources of the Foolish Underworld, which was probably one of the reasons why that Corrosive Heart Demon had approached them.

Otherwise, with so many lower demons, why would they specifically seek them out?

"This is our chance to climb higher! If Lord Blind Eye favors us and keeps a good impression, then the next time a Demon Foot position becomes vacant, Lord has a chance to replace it. At that time, Lord Blind Eye might speak a few good words for us, making our chance to take over the Demon Foot position even greater."

The Hammerfang Ape stood up and spoke.

They had followed Fang Yu seeking a better future.

Now that the opportunity had come, they naturally hoped Fang Yu could seize it.

The other demons felt similarly, looking at Fang Yu with eager eyes.

Seeing this, Fang Yu nodded slightly.

"I understand. Let's try to find him. However, Lord Blind Eye probably didn't only arrange for us to find people, and it's uncertain whether we can find him or not, don't get your hopes too high."

Bie Huzi stood up and smiled.

"With Lord's words, that's enough. These past few days, we've gathered quite a few demon brethren under us. Once there's news from Lord, just give us a location, and we'll bring people in to search."

In high positions, one doesn't need to handle everything personally.

Just like checking some data from the Foolish Underworld and then, acting like a hands-off Shopkeeper, leaving the rest of the work to the subordinates, waiting for the results is sufficient.

"That's excellent."

Stepping forward, Fang Yu took the pen from Che Linfang's hand and also wrote down the three characters 'Qiong Xiaolou', and indeed, the writing quickly began to disappear.

Fang Yu pondered while writing—where in Tianyuan Town is Qiong Xiaolou now?

As the pen stopped, the text rapidly disappeared, the entire line vanishing, reverting to blankness.

Fang Yu looked surprised.

If this level of text disappearance occurred, many documents and records would be affected; the Five Great Families should have noticed something.

Moreover, that what artifact, just falling into the hands of an unknown Qiong Xiaolou.

If used on a more famous person, erasing existence, concealing identity, and various other manipulations become possible.

An existence that won't be recorded by any text, a person who doesn't exist, a person only passed down by word of mouth.

Artifact, how strange.

"Where's the portrait? What about this person's portrait?"

"It would vanish as well, just like the writings."

Well, luckily I have seen the person myself and still have an impression; otherwise, I really wouldn't know where to start from.

Besides, records made with ordinary paper and pen will vanish, maybe within the Five Great Families or the Foolish Underworld, there might be special paper that can preserve this person's name and information.

"I understand, I will investigate this matter and notify you when I have news."

"Yes!"

All Demons responded.

Next, it was time for some routine reports.

For example, the newly recruited demon subordinates, and how the human patrols from the Foolish Underworld in certain districts complicate their operations.

Such delicate adjustments, through him or Che Linfang, making the personnel of the Foolish Underworld appear at mismatched times, could facilitate a lot of activities for the demons.

"By the way."

Fang Yu waved at Che Linfang.

"Take some people and check these two... three individuals for me, investigate the backgrounds of these three quietly without making too much noise, just do it privately."

Che Linfang glanced at the three names and seemed to recognize them.

"These are servants from the mansion, right?"

"Yeah."

Che Linfang's lips curved up.

"I told you humans find unreliable servants! This is a great opportunity, why don't we take this chance to position our demon subordinates inside your mansion?"

Fang Yu shook his head slightly.

"It's not appropriate; the risk is too high. Only you and I have successfully infiltrated this area of the Foolish Underworld; suddenly inserting other demons could lead to trouble. You know how difficult that place can be."

"The circumstance has changed, you are now promoted to the Divine Hall, throwing off a cover, it shouldn't be a big problem," Che Linfang insisted.

But Fang Yu still shook his head.

"There's no need, it would only leave flaws. Better to stay safe for some time, once the situation is stable, we can start placing our people and gradually replace those around me."

Demons, can wear human skin and replace humans.

If really acted upon, it's actually not difficult.

The challenge is in not getting caught.

Moreover, Fang Yu did not want those around him to experience such incidents, so it was merely to stabilize Che Linfang.

Che Linfang felt that Fang Yu's reasoning also made sense, so she nodded slightly; and in fact, Fang Yu's clear-cut statement had already satisfied her.

What Ding Hui, what Mi Hengpeng, they are merely humans after all.

Blood Demon and I, we are the true insiders! What are they? Just tools for disguising identities!

Humph!

Feeling relieved, Che Linfang's attitude softened.

"I was too impatient, I will listen to you."

Having nearly finished all the instructions, Fang Yu stood up, preparing to leave.

Pausing momentarily, he turned back and asked.

"Recently, the Red Moon Demon and other demon tail, have they made any moves?"

Scouting the situation of surrounding demon tails hadn't been done yet, need to collect some information and report it to the Hall Master.

What follows will depend on how the Hall Master arranges it; if there are no major issues, Fang Yu would just go along with it.

Heaven shall be supported by the tallest one, and the Hall Master is a formidable monster with eight thousand blood!

"Recently, Red Moon Demon has been recruiting external demons, heard that she absorbed quite a few, but there are also rumors that she interfered with these recruited demons..."

"Corrosive Heart Demon is consolidating territory, some territories were even ceded to us, not sure if it received any information, showing obvious favor toward us."

"Hemp-Scaled Bird Demon's tail, the demon foot it is affiliated with seems to have some developments, the demons it led have been bolder in their actions recently, keep troubling us, though they still control themselves, no big troubles have occurred, but continuous small frictions worry me that our brothers below might not be able to restrain themselves from striking first, leaving people with grievances."

"Long Poem Canvas Demon approached me and Blue Hammerfang Ape to switch allegiance to her, after we refused her, her tone was clearly not pleasant, not sure if she would do anything out of line..."
