Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Have You Caught Them? (5 Updates)
Diao Deyi?
Ning Youchun seemed to have a bit of an impression now.
Not because Diao Deyi was anything special.
Simply because this person had been imprisoned twice, and both times he was deliberately pulled out by Li Qianxuan.
That is, the person Li Qianxuan often mentioned as having potential.
This special attention and emphasis, in fact, were exactly what Ning Youchun had always looked forward to receiving.
"What do you want?"
Ning Youchun was puzzled; he had no dealings with Diao Deyi, so why did he suddenly come looking for him?
Before Fang Yu could speak, he added another sentence.
"Do you want to see Lord Li Qianxuan?"
"No."
Fang Yu shook his head.
"I’m looking for Yue Guang."
Ning Youchun was even more confused.
He even couldn’t help but grow curious.
Lately, Yue Guang’s actions have not been clean.
Could it be this guy also heard some rumors, hoping to switch sides through Yue Guang and ditch Li Qianxuan?
Heh heh heh heh...
Li Qianxuan, oh Li Qianxuan, look at those you favor, exactly what sort of people they are!
You really should open your eyes and see who stays by your side until the end.
Suppressing his thoughts, with both his expression and voice devoid of any emotional fluctuations, Ning Youchun spoke.
"What do you want with him?"
"Learn archery."
This was the pretext Fang Yu had prepared long ago.
Yue Guang’s archery skills were outstanding even within Li Qianxuan’s team; asking for instruction should be no issue, right?
"Learn archery?"
Ning Youchun furrowed his brows.
A mutual admiration between geniuses?
Or is it just a guise of learning archery, seeking another path?
No matter.
Let them be, I shall carve out my own path!
I will prove that ordinary people, those of poor backgrounds, can also rise to the top!
"He was called away on a mission yesterday night, currently at Changhong Textile Shop. You can just go there and find him."
"Changhong Textile Shop?"
Fang Yu was taken aback, feigning ignorance.
"What happened?"
"A demon injured people, two of the ten households from the Foolish Underworld—one dead and one wounded. One demon dead and one escaped; still investigating the whereabouts."
One escaped??
Now Fang Yu was truly confused.
He wanted to ask for details, but damn, that’s tough to ask.
It’s not like he could just say, "Last night there were only two demons, and I killed them both. Where’s this escaping demon from?"
"...Thanks."
With a bellyful of doubts, Fang Yu hurried off.
Ning Youchun hadn’t thought much of it.
But suddenly, it hit him.
"That pat on the shoulder just now, his power was nothing to scoff at, on par with mine."
"Is this the speed at which a genius improves..."
Ning Youchun watched Fang Yu’s retreating figure, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"That’s why I hate these so-called geniuses!"
...
Changhong Textile Shop.
Revisiting the scene after one night, Fang Yu felt somehow strange.
Over there on the streets, the citizens had formed a circle, all there to watch the excitement.
"Wow, last night, you have no idea, the great battle was earth-shattering and moved both heaven and asura!"
"What do you mean? How? Do you know the inside story?"
"Of course! My aunt’s husband is a laborer for the Xuan family!"
"What does that have to do with the Xuan family?"
"Exactly, exactly!"
"What do you all know, everything from last night’s disturbance has to start with the Xuan family."
"Last night the Xuan family had the southern and northern outer walls broken by demons, seven casualties in total!"
"Luckily, they were stumbled upon by Li Bahu and his team who were passing by, otherwise the Xuan family would have faced annihilation!"
"The demon couldn’t defeat Lord Li Bahu and turned tail to flee. It was during this escape that it arrived at Changhong Textile Village and was intercepted by Lord Li Bahu."
"Alone, he subdued the demon, but unexpectedly, the demon had an accomplice!"
"Two demons, besieging Lord Li Bahu alone! The situation was extremely perilous!"
As the person spoke, those around held their breath in rapt attention, listening as if to a storyteller.
Fang Yu glanced at the speaker.
[Lin Xiaosheng: 1555/1555.]
Thousand Blood... Demon!!
Fang Yu’s body tensed, and he silently retreated to the edge of the crowd.
Can these demons not be so bold, it’s broad daylight, and we are right next to people from the Foolish Underworld, could you at least pretend to be scared!
"Only to see Lord Li Bahu, besieged by the pair of demons, yet unleashing divine might."
"Just look at how Lord Li Bahu, grasping one demon, lifted it high overhead, and with a snap, tore the demon in half!"
"Splat! Reds and whites splattering all over, what a gruesome scene!"
There were screams from the crowd, and some of the younger ones even covered their eyes, frightened.
"Don’t worry, don’t worry, Lord Li Bahu was exterminating demons, he’s doing a great deed!"
Fang Yu: ...
Wait, is it really appropriate for you, as a demon, to be saying this?
But the others seemed unfazed, eagerly urging on.
"What happened next? Where did the other demon go?"
Lin Xiaosheng, now enthusiastic, spoke with a bit of flair.
"The other demon, that was formidable. It transformed into a hundred-zhang python and battled Lord Li Bahu for three hundred rounds!"
"The scene was a veritable river of blood, the lands were torn asunder..."
A child raised his hand.
"Uncle! There are no mountains and rivers on the street."
Lin Xiaosheng immediately corrected himself.
"That was a scene of destroyed streets and flying limbs; utterly horrific!"
"Ultimately, the demon was no match for Lord Li Bahu and fled, leading to the spectacle we see now!"
"Bravo!"
Some were so caught up in the story that they began to applaud.
"Lord Li Bahu is mighty!"
"Lord Li Bahu keeps us safe!"
The crowd cheered in approval while Lin Xiaosheng took off his headgear and used it as a bowl, smiling as he spoke.
"If you enjoy my tale, give Lin Xiaosheng some Copper Coins, whatever amount you deem fit."
The crowd reached into their pockets, and though the donations were meager, they added up.
As the coins clinked on the ground, he didn’t mind the hassle and bent down to pick them up one by one.
One of the Copper Coins rolled towards Fang Yu’s feet, startling him into an instinctive step back, but he immediately restrained the impulse.
Pretend you didn’t notice, and you might just stay alive.
But expose anything, and you’re dead on the spot!
"Look! It’s Lord Li Baizhen of the Foolish Underworld!"
"Lord Li Bahu, Lord Li Bahu, have you caught the demon?"
The crowd’s attention was drawn away by the new commotion, but Lin Xiaosheng merely dusted off his clothes, standing up from the ground.
He walked over to Fang Yu, bent down to pick it up, and when he stood up, he was looking up at Fang Yu with a smile.
"Are you back?"
Fang Yu: ?!!!
Fang Yu’s pupils shrank, he glanced around quickly, and there was no one else; this man was clearly talking to him.
"Yue Guang told me to wait for you here, come with me."
Lin Xiaosheng spoke softly, yet Fang Yu felt a chill deep in his bones.
Before Fang Yu could reply, Lin Xiaosheng had already started walking outside.
At this moment, Fang Yu faced a dilemma.
The time given for him to think was less than two seconds.
There was only one thing he could do.
His gaze swept over the surroundings, looking toward the direction where the crowd was in admiration.
Beyond the dense cluster of short health bars, stood out a particularly conspicuous one in the ranks of the Foolish Underworld.
[Li Baizhen: 500/500.]
So that’s Li Baizhen? Li Qianxuan’s elder brother?
Even a higher health bar than Yuan Hongxin!
Yet facing the Thousand Blood Demon, Fang Yu was unsure if this person could be relied upon.
Don’t take risks.
Lin Xiaosheng currently seemed to harbor no ill intentions towards him.
With this thought, Fang Yu quickly caught up with Lin Xiaosheng.
Li Baizhen, who was being cheered by the crowd, suddenly seemed to sense something, glancing briefly at the backs of Fang Yu and Lin Xiaosheng, pensive.
Beside him, blending into the ranks unassumingly, was the inconspicuous Yue Guang.
