Chapter 629: Someone is playing tricks.

By now, the task announcement had just been sent out, and logically, there shouldn’t have been many people signed up, considering the zombies were numerous and extremely dangerous in Luyun County. Going there with too few people was tantamount to courting death, and Corpse Hunters were no fools. Even if they planned to sign up, they would certainly wait and see for a while.

So when Fang Yuxin went to accept the task, there shouldn’t have been any problems. But to her surprise, her attempt to accept the task failed! The text message reply stated that the task could not be accepted, and Fang Yuxin instinctively felt something was amiss!

Fang Yuyang and the others were all sitting in the living room, and seeing her change of expression, they all became worried. Fang Yuyang was the first to ask, "Xinxin, what’s wrong?"

Fang Yuxin explained the situation, and Fang Yuyang and the others also sensed something was off. Fang Yuyang directly took out a Communicator, responded with the code on it, and took on the task. It wasn’t long before he received a reply, indicating that the task had been successfully accepted and instructing him to be ready to wait for the assembly notice tomorrow morning.

Fang Yuxin raised her eyebrows in surprise, feeling increasingly that something was very wrong!

Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe also tried, and even Bai Qianqian attempted to accept the task. However, they all succeeded, while Fang Yuxin, no matter how many times she tried, failed!

Seeing this, Fang Yuxin’s expression gradually turned ugly. If she couldn’t figure out by now that Zhao Qiankun had sabotaged her, then she would be a fool! However, Zhao Qiankun sure had some nerve! He didn’t want her to go but was willing to let her family take on the task. What was going on in his mind!

Fang Yuyang and the others weren’t very angry, instead consoling her, "Xinxin, don’t be angry. That Zhao guy has always been a lowlife, and you know it. Why bother getting upset over such a petty person?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuxin suddenly remembered that they were unaware of Zhao Qiankun’s identity. She briefly explained and also showed the Jade Scroll to her family members. After seeing it, Fang Yuyang and the others also believed Zhao Qiankun and Zhao Dawei were one and the same! This explained the odd behavior of Zhao Qiankun towards Fang Yuxin.

However, none of them had the slightest bit of affection for Zhao Qiankun. It was one thing for him to fancy Fang Yuxin—who was indeed beautiful and had a good personality, with countless people admiring her from childhood, and one more admirer like Zhao Qiankun didn’t make much of a difference. On one hand, he coveted Fang Yuxin, unwilling to let her embark on that dangerous task, yet he allowed them to successfully accept this task. If put nicely, it meant he only cared about Fang Yuxin alone; if put bluntly, this man’s intentions were too sinister!

If someone truly cared about a person, how could they just watch her family members go to their deaths? Zhao Qiankun was truly despicable! To think that he dared to claim that he had been nursing a secret crush on Fang Yuxin!

Fang Yuyang sneered, "I knew it, that Zhao fellow is nothing but scum!" He then asked Fang Yuxin, "Xinxin, what do you plan to do now?"

Fang Yuxin, who had calmed down after his commotion, replied. Fang Yuyang was right; Zhao Qiankun was scum. She really didn’t need to waste her energy getting angry over someone like him. It would be better to think of something else.

After some thought, she asked Fang Yuyang, "Even if I haven’t accepted the task, I can still follow, right?" She couldn’t care less about confronting Zhao Qiankun over this. Was it merely about being unable to accept the task? She would just follow along when the time came. What was there to be afraid of?

Fang Yuyang paused before smiling, "There’s indeed no rule against it, but... ordinarily, if people don’t get the task, they wouldn’t follow along. After all, if they go without having accepted the task, they won’t get any reward in the end, so nobody does that. Xinxin, are you planning to just go directly?"

Fang Yuxin nodded, with a somewhat mischievous smile, "I’ll go there directly tomorrow. I don’t believe Zhao Qiankun would dare to stop me in front of so many people. If he really dares to do so, unless the Corpse Hunters are fools, they will definitely sense something is amiss! Zhao Qiankun is despicable. For the sake of eliminating dissent, he treats so many lives as a joke. It wouldn’t be bad to cause him some trouble."

The others remained silent as they had decided to take this opportunity to leave, and naturally, they wouldn’t let Fang Yuxin stay behind alone. But both Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe also felt that Zhao Qiankun was really worthless!

Fang Yuyang sent a message to Chen Qiao, calling everyone over, while Fang Yuxin contacted Bai Ye, telling him about her inability to accept the task. Bai Ye, ever so astute, immediately guessed it was Zhao Qiankun’s doing. After all, although Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi also had the power to do such a thing, they had no reason to do so, unlike Zhao Qiankun, who was always fixated on Fang Yuxin!
