Chapter 1414 - 633: Weakness (Part 2)
Ding Hui is still held by the Rebel Army, Fang Yu won’t act recklessly.
But this feeling of being controlled by others makes Fang Yu somewhat uncomfortable.
Outside, the Foolish Underworld is searching the whole city for the two of them, without the Rebel Army’s protection, trying to avoid Foolish Underworld’s search is almost impossible.
And if meeting Hui Yao causes any trouble, messes things up... then he will face the joint pursuit from Foolish Underworld and the Rebel Army, the two strongest organizations under the Ten Major Families in Thunder City right now, that scene... is simply unimaginable.
Plus, there’s still Ding Hui, being held by the Rebel Army...
Fang Yu’s eyes turned a few degrees colder.
If he can’t rely on the Rebel Army, he can only consider leaving Thunder City with Ding Hui.
The whereabouts of his big brother are certainly important, but if something happens to Ding Hui, then everything is over.
Caught between two major forces, Fang Yu thinks it’s quite difficult to break through the Blood Land.
After all, the Hall Master and Minister of these two forces are already evenly matched with him, and above them, the Commander, Lord of Mansion, are even more unfathomable...
"Young Master Diao?"
Qiu Xiaoping’s voice snapped Fang Yu back to reality.
Only then did Fang Yu notice that Qiu Xiaoping had left her seat at some unknown time and was standing very close in front of him.
"What?"
Slam.
Without warning, Qiu Xiaoping placed her warm palms on the back of Fang Yu’s hand.
"Young Master Diao, you’ve already made one mistake, it’s because you continuously killed demons that drew Foolish Underworld’s pursuit, led to the fall of the Hall Master of Foolish Underworld, don’t think our Rebel Army did wrong, it was you who made the mistake first... but we are still willing to believe in you, both the President and Vice Commander are willing to give you another chance, don’t mess it up, or else..."
The worried expression didn’t seem fake.
However, Qiu Xiaoping is good with people, good with words, Fang Yu knew this from the first day, he had already interacted with Qiu Xiaoping several times.
With a slight smile, Fang Yu said.
"My wife is still in the stronghold, what can I do? Lord Qiu is overthinking."
These words, like a needle, suddenly seemed to sting Qiu Xiaoping, her expression suddenly stiffened.
The hands tightly holding Fang Yu’s also unconsciously loosened.
"We... didn’t mean it that way, at least I absolutely don’t want to do that."
Saying this, faint mist appeared in her eyes, causing Fang Yu to feel inexplicable.
"No, no, no! I didn’t mean to target you, I was just stating a fact, you don’t need to take it to heart."
"... I can’t make the decision for this matter, I will discuss it with the Vice Commander again, we won’t keep Divine Doctor Ding closed up, she shouldn’t be treated this way, it has nothing to do with her..."
Fang Yu frowned.
He couldn’t quite see through if Qiu Xiaoping was genuine or just pretending.
But this didn’t affect his judgment, he would properly abide by the Rebel Army’s three-Chapter agreement and under this rule, ask the questions he wanted to ask.
However, once Hui Yao’s side has results, then after reuniting with Ding Hui, Fang Yu plans to discuss leaving Thunder City with her.
This muddled water of the Rebel Army and Foolish Underworld, he doesn’t intend to meddle in anymore.
There’s also Monk Quan Heng, he needs to find a way to meet him, wanting to leave Thunder City might require his power.
"Young Master Diao, if you want to leave with Divine Doctor Ding now, I won’t stop you. In this stronghold, besides me, there’s no one else qualified to stop you. But... you need to think carefully, outside the whole Foolish Underworld is looking for you, Foolish Underworld guards Thunder City’s entrances, you can’t escape just by yourself."
Fang Yu smiled and shook his head: "Who said I want to leave, I was just muddled earlier and somewhat eager for quick success. But I’m loyal to the Rebel Army, since they are willing to give me another chance, I naturally have to seize it well, serve the Rebel Army, and make up for my mistakes! But Lord Qiu, you seem overly sentimental today."
"..."
Qiu Xiaoping glanced into Fang Yu’s eyes, and moments later, suddenly turned her back on him.
"I’ll go check on the preparation work for going to Zhang Mansion.
Tread, tread, tread.
After a series of footsteps, Qiu Xiaoping’s figure disappeared from Fang Yu’s sight.
Only after the room was left with just himself did Fang Yu slightly frown, pondering some issues.
Soon, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.
Then, Fang Yu saw someone somewhat familiar, poking their head out from the doorway.
[Liu Qiner:5/5.]
"...Why is it you?" Fang Yu asked oddly.
The maid, Liu Qiner, immediately grew nervous while holding the tea.
Lowering her head, she quickly walked over to place the hot tea in front of Fang Yu, and then paid her respects.
"Liu Qiner, greets Mr. Diao!"
After speaking, she nervously positioned herself behind Fang Yu, displaying the demeanor of a maid.
Fang Yu tilted his head to look at her: "You’ve delivered the tea, aren’t you leaving?"
Liu Qiner became even more nervous, even sweaty on her forehead was visible.
"...By, by Lord Qiu’s order, I, I need to stay here to serve Mr. Diao."
"Is that so."
Fang Yu picked up the teacup, blew on it, took a sip, and put it down.
At least, for now, he remains the Minister of the Rebel Army, enjoying the privileges and status of the position.
Thinking for a moment, Fang Yu decided to check on Ding Hui.
Just as he got up and took two steps.
The little figure behind him immediately hurried to catch up.
A full-time attentive service?
Fang Yu glanced at her, causing Liu Qiner to be terribly frightened, fortunately, Fang Yu didn’t say anything, just quickened his pace, making Liu Qiner change from fast walking to jogging, the sound of footsteps in the corridor drew the attention of many passersby.
Chen Ya was one of them.
Ever since being recruited by Qiu Xiaoping and becoming the Rebel Army’s sharp blade, she had executed a couple of missions already, earning Qiu Xiaoping’s appreciation in both skills and execution abilities.
But for this mission, not being included, Chen Ya had objections.
Passing by Fang Yu, she directly approached Qiu Xiaoping.
"Lord Qiu, I want to participate in this mission! The Zhang Family is one of the Ten Major Families, this trip is perilous, perfectly suited for me to gain experience! It will surely help me break through my realm!"
"No! You lack experience; you’re not suitable for this mission."
Chen Ya immediately felt dissatisfied.
"Then why is Shen Heilian allowed to participate? She also joined the Rebel Army not long ago!"
"It’s different. Shen Baimei’s time of fame is much earlier than you think, and Hui Yao... seems to know her, news of the meeting reached Hui Yao somehow, and he specifically requested her presence; otherwise, she wouldn’t be on the list for this trip."
Chen Ya frowned, clearly unhappy, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Lord Qiu, I believe that Shen Heilian might harm the interests of the Rebel Army during the mission. She’s not truly loyal to our cause. If she suddenly betrays us and sides with the Zhang family, wouldn’t that expose a lot of Rebel Army intelligence?"
"No need to worry, whether it’s you or Shen Baimei, the information you’re exposed to is only superficial. If she betrays the Rebel Army, she’ll face her own demise. Also, before this operation, I had Divine Doctor Ding give her poison to ensure she stays in line; she wouldn’t dare take any rash actions."
The blade is dangerous.
But it depends on how the blade is used.
Aimed at the enemy, it becomes the best spear. When it turns on oneself, it is truly dangerous.
"I am willing to take the poison too! I beg Lord Qiu to let me join in!"
Chen Ya’s persistence surprised Qiu Xiaoping, compelling her to curiously question.
"Why are you willing to poison yourself just to be part of this operation?"
"In reply, Lord! Because this operation, led by Minister Diao, is full of uncertainties, coupled with the covert mission at Zhang Mansion, conflicts are highly likely! It’s fraught with danger! This is the high-pressure environment I need to push through my limits!"
Chen Ya answered truthfully, but Qiu Xiaoping was already tired of dealing with her.
"Say no more, this matter is settled; you will oversee this stronghold, ensure everyone’s safety... especially Divine Doctor Ding’s safety, understood?"
"...Understood."
Chen Ya visibly disappointed, seemed to genuinely believe that this mission would inevitably encounter troubles, as she saw it; when Diao Deyi went out just to kill a demon, he ended up killing the Hall Master of the Foolish Underworld.
Wouldn’t a trip to confront one of the Ten Major Families cause even more chaos?
This fiery temper, how could it endure the arrogance of the Ten Major Families? Conflicts seem inevitable!
But Chen Ya clearly didn’t realize Ding Hui’s importance in this.
No matter how impulsive Fang Yu is, he must consider Ding Hui’s safety.
Therefore, Qiu Xiaoping is nearly ninety percent certain, convinced that Fang Yu won’t act recklessly.
As subordinates reported, the team heading to Zhang Mansion has already assembled completely.
Under the massive manhunt in the Foolish Underworld, heading to Zhang Mansion for business carries significant risks, but the Rebel Army certainly has its own ways.
