They actually wanted to visit the Qing Family too, but they knew that with their social status, they might not even get a seat at the Qing Family.
After all, anyone could see that Qing Anshun's main guests were those two refugees, and they were just rescued as an afterthought.
So, it's better to go ho early and report their safety.
Small figures leaving, Qing Anshun didn't even bother to blink, he just nodded slightly to show acknowledgnt.
With Wu Youi and the others gone, the structure of the group beca more streamlined.
Only Fang Yu and Ding Hui remained as outsiders, the rest were all Qing Family mbers.
Whether because the Qing Family had significant influence in Sunset City or not, their riding party attracted a lot of attention and whispers from people on the streets.
Most discussions revolved around Qing Anshun returning to the city and who these new faces Fang Yu and Ding Hui were.
Until Qing Anshun frowned slightly and sent his n to disperse the crowd, only then did the situation improve a bit.
With this, they arrived at Qing Mansions, where soone was already waiting to welco them.
"Eldest Young Master, and two guests, please this way."
[Qing Gua:1321/1321.]
It was the butler of Qing Mansion, surprisingly, his strength wasn't very impressive.
This reminded Fang Yu of Lin Yelin, the chief housekeeper of the Lin Family in Tianyuan Town. After the night of the attack on the Lin Family, he was reportedly controlled.
Not knowing how Lord Lan, who now governed Tianyuan Town, was dealing with him, if he was alive or dead.
But these thoughts quickly flickered away in his mind. Tianyuan Town was unreachable now, he had to look forward.
Unfamiliar with the place, it's better to give so respect to the host family.
Thus Fang Yu followed the butler and soon arrived at a hall, where the large table was filled with aromatic and delightful dishes.
"Father!"
Qing Anshun stepped forward and called out.
Then imdiately started introducing Fang Yu and Ding Hui.
"These two are friends I t on the road, having fallen on hard tis, they are guests. Father, we must treat them well."
"Naturally, naturally, hahaha!"
The master of the Qing Family laughed heartily, stroking his long black beard, and invited Fang Yu and the others to sit.
Fang Yu looked at the blood strip atop the Qing Family master's head, sowhat puzzled.
[Qing Tianping:5000/5000.]
Just five thousand in strength?
That's rely the level of a high-level Tree Realm.
Fang Yu instinctively felt sothing was off, if the Qing Family was firm in Sunset City, they shouldn't have only this much capital.
But outwardly, Fang Yu was still very cordial in conversing with the master.
After they were satiated, following a light cough from the Qing Family master, Fang Yu felt a slight jolt in spirit, knowing he was about to make a move.
However, what followed was...
"You traveled from afar, and it must have been hard. Do you have a place to stay tonight? If you have no plans, why not stay at Qing Mansion for now? You won't stay for free, you can receive ten silver taels for daily expenses."
This offer, not only providing lodging but also money, left Fang Yu a little stunned.
Anyway, Fang Yu planned to stay, he naturally agreed eagerly.
He originally thought they would try to recruit him, even prepared so excuses in his mind, but they were unnecessary now.
"You underestimate your current value! Just ten silver taels, and you're settled?"
On the way to the room, Ding Hui's voice echoed in Fang Yu's mind.
"I just..."
Fang Yu softly replied.
But before he could finish, Ding Hui interrupted.
"Just surprised they haven't recruited you yet, but already offered money? Think about what salary you had as a captain in the Foolish Underworld, and now ten silver taels a day, it's neither too much nor too little, totally adds up to three hundred silver taels a month.
"For soone as strong as you, having you sit in their Qing Family for three hundred silver taels is downright a steal."
"As for why they haven't tried recruiting you, it's just not the right ti yet. They'll make you comfortable, and after getting closer, they'll discuss terms and keep you around, it's all about timing. You're in the Qing Family now, no worries about you leaving.
"On another note, even if things don't work out, relations last, when we leave in a few days. Friendships with strong people are valuable and could save lives at critical monts. Who knows, one day, they might need you, and these days of hospitality you'll have to repay."
"There's always more cleverness in buying than selling, that old fellow may seem kind and gentle, but he's calculating."
"But his actions benefit us, so you don't have to worry too much."
Ding Hui seed to be in full flow, chatting incessantly in Fang Yu's mind, giving him a slight headache.
"Then we..."
Fang Yu didn't finish the sentence, as the Qing Family servant was still leading the way, letting Ding Hui understand on his own.
"According to you, your brother Diao Ruonian was trafficked, where he ended up is unknown, maybe Thunder City, maybe Night City, or elsewhere. Previously, we needed to flee from Tianyuan Town, now it's about ti to start investigating, starting with human trafficking organizations."
"I don't know much about Sunset City, we'll need to ask around to understand if there's an underground human trafficking operation here. If there is, dig deep for information, trace the organization, and find your brother's whereabouts."
