Chapter 888: Chapter 105 Hidden Dragon List_3
At this moment, what truly troubled him was the discovery of that tier-four elder, who was now 100 meters away from him.
Moreover, judging by the trajectory of his movements, it seemed he was heading in his direction.
“Waiter, the check!”
Zhao Yu slowly stood up, dropped some Silver, and left the tea house.
This time he deliberately chose a different direction, wanting to see if the old man would continue to follow him.
Moments later, Zhao Yu’s expression turned somewhat unsightly.
He had feigned changing directions twice, and in his Vision Range, the old man was similarly making turns, but from start to finish, he was always coming towards him.
“This person…”
Zhao Yu was somewhat exasperated. He scrutinized the elder’s true appearance underneath the disguise, which appeared to be in his fifties or sixties, someone he had never seen before.
“He seems somewhat familiar…”
Zhao Yu quickly had his Super Brain compare all the people he had seen with the disguised elder.
Moments later…
[He Qing, Facial similarity 46%…]
[He Yun, Facial similarity 39%…]
[He Jiaying, Facial similarity 58%…]
“Remnants of the He family!”
Zhao Yu instantly understood the situation with the elder in disguise.
Back when he left Moon City, Xu Tian had warned him that in Qian City, there was a branch of the He family, and among them was a tier-four fighter in charge.
“But… how did he know my location?!”
Zhao Yu was puzzled; he had been very low-key upon his arrival, and not much time had passed. How could that He family fourth tier fighter have discovered him?
He conducted a vision scan and observed the surroundings. The passersby looked very normal, not like there were any spies.
“Could it be some exotic technique?”
Zhao Yu speculated that there might be some Tracking Technique from the exotic lands, which the He family’s remnant was using.
“Looking at his demeanor, he plans to assassinate me…”
As a State City, Qian City was home to numerous fighters and had the most stringent rules; it did not allow anyone to fight within the city, unless they went to a specific place for a duel.
Although the He family’s remnant was also a fourth tier fighter, in terms of strength, he was not prominent among the tier-four and certainly not in a position to break the rules.
Of course, if he could manage to assassinate Zhao Yu here, it wasn’t necessarily the case that someone would follow up on it.
Zhao Yu understood that as a fourth tier, the He family’s remnant dared not fly over directly to take his life, mainly for fear of the city guards’ intervention.
Instead, getting close in disguise to assassinate, and then fleeing forcefully after succeeding, would be easier to escape responsibility.
“This indicates, although this fellow comes for revenge, he doesn’t want to risk his own life, hence the need for a disguise…”
Zhao Yu stroked his chin, feeling this was a point he could exploit.
“As for the safest place here…”
“It’s definitely Hong Wu Academy…”
Zhao Yu’s lips curved upward, knowing how to avoid the He family’s remnant’s assassination attempt.
With that thought, he quickened his pace, extending the distance between them to 200 meters.
After that, Zhao Yu made several twists and turns and headed straight for the train station.
In Qian City, where fighters abound, there are five major satellite cities interconnected by trains for convenient travel.
These trains were not only guarded by tier-four fighters, but were also blessed with all kinds of runes, making them akin to moving magic artifacts, unafraid of attacks by demonic creatures.
Soon, the Super Brain calculated an escape route.
After several transfers, Zhao Yu successfully shook off the He family’s remnant.
Even after his disappearance from the Vision Range, the He family’s remainder didn’t fly after him, confirming his guess that the man was afraid of death and would not implicate himself while seeking revenge.
“Is it a coincidence, or have I been discovered?!”
Watching the direction Zhao Yu left, He Shijie was somewhat puzzled but he wasn’t in a hurry.
The Tracking Technique he obtained from the exotic lands could let him precisely know Zhao Yu’s position.
…
The gates of Hong Wu Academy in Qian City were imposing, with strong and powerful guards standing at the entrance.
“Hello, I’m looking for Xu Chang Qing. Could you pass a message for me?”
As expected, Zhao Yu was stopped at the gate.
“Passing messages is not my duty. For such matters, find someone else!”
The guard was cold, with not the slightest intention to help.
Moreover, there was even a hint of mockery in his eyes.
He had seen many people like this before, many of whom didn’t even know the students inside and harbored various reasons for asking them to pass messages.
There was a guard who had, due to his newness, helped call forth a fourth-year student, only to find that it was a chase for a celebrity, which greatly angered the fourth-year student, resulting in the guard getting his salary docked.
Since then, guards encountering such requests have turned a blind eye and a deaf ear.
Zhao Yu paused, then quickly realized that this was Hong Wu Academy, where the students inside were all very outstanding.
Especially a standout few who were like celebrities.
He himself thought Xu Chang Qing was just so-so, a fifty-fifty in terms of strength, but in reality, Xu Chang Qing had a rather prominent reputation among Qian City’s young generation, with many girls pursuing him.
Especially after Xu Chang Qing recently challenged the higher-ranking Liang Chaoxi, obtaining the thirty-eighth position on the Hidden Dragon List, the number of people looking for Xu Chang Qing had increased.
While he was thinking, a girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old came walking in.
She gave Zhao Yu a glance, sizing him up and noticing he was not wearing a uniform, then turned her head towards the guard and said,
