It's entirely reasonable for Fang Yu to have this speculation.
In the wilderness, being able to move closely with the Hai Family of the Seven Great Families itself represents a kind of resource.
The closer one is to the personnel of the Seven Great Families, the higher the probability of being rescued when in need.
As for the Xun Family, although Fang Yu doesn't have much impression, it should be a dium-sized force in Sunset City, and it should belong to the Hai Family faction, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to secure this position.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
At this ti, several people from the Hai Family team rapidly ran forward, as if they had received so news or intelligence, and disappeared into the small forest.
Then, faint sounds of fighting ca from not far from the small forest.
Fang Yu hesitated for a mont, then started moving towards the small forest to have a look. However, before he even entered the woods, he was stopped halfway by Hai Kongxin.
"What are you doing?"
Fang Yu asked coldly.
Hai Kongxin, however, lifted his chin and said indifferently from above.
"The Elder asked to tell you exactly this: let the juniors handle these Little Demons themselves, giving them a bit of training opportunity, there's no need to worry too much."
Elder...
Fang Yu turned his head to look at Hai Jingfu over there; the latter happened to turn his head to this side too and nodded slightly at Fang Yu before retracting his gaze to continue resting with eyes closed.
Fang Yu:...
What does it an? Are you really making a nanny working for free?
Fang Yu started feeling a bit annoyed.
He was not soone who liked to stay idle; having taken the initiative to leave the city, of course, he aid to hunt demons.
Just as he was thinking, the noise in the small forest ceased.
Shortly afterward, Hai Pengyi and these juniors with blood levels of one or two thousand returned from the small forest, injured, with soone even dragging two demon corpses in hand.
The bodies were not large with many wounds on them, thin and dense, seemingly pierced repeatedly by so light swordsmanship, but the fatal wound did not seem to be caused by these small wounds.
Since you cannot see health bars on corpses, Fang Yu couldn't determine the strength grade of these demons, but being able to be dealt with by this group of juniors, they probably weren't too strong.
"Uncle Xin, the demons are dead, we can move on."
It was unclear whether Hai Pengyi had a high status or was just clever, but he was the one speaking on behalf of these juniors.
Hai Kongxin waved his hand, and the team continued to scout ahead as needed while handling demon corpses, with the team soon operating efficiently.
Actions were smooth and well-practiced, and there seed to be a tacit understanding among them.
It could be said that the core of the entire team was surprisingly the Hai Kongxin trio, with the strongest Elder, Hai Jingfu, instead appearing uninvolved, having a role similar to Fang Yu's position.
However, others were truly the backbone of the Hai Family team, and in their eyes, he was probably just an outsider freeloading on the Hai Family's situation.
On the journey that followed, two more waves of demon alerts appeared, both silently sending people in to 'train'.
Once, Hai Congbo from the trio also went in, and after that, among Hai Pengyi's junior group, injured individuals were replaced from the front lines with those handling demon corpses as logistics personnel.
Under such operations, the Hai Family team functioned like a precise instrunt, with the gears shing flawlessly, forming a system of its own, needing no external intervention.
If Fang Yu wanted to intervene, he would first face the obstruction of the Hai Kongxin trio, and then Hai Jingfu's warning glances.
Others might not know, but seeing Hai Kongxin's stance, it seed clear: disobey, and he would start a fight right away.
Though Fang Yu wasn't afraid of him, fighting Hai Kongxin outside held no real significance and would be better to preserve energy for hunting demons.
"Young man, no need to be so impatient. These are just Little Demons around the outskirts of Sunset City. Once we delve into the wilderness, these juniors won't be relied upon. There will be a stage for you to show your skills."
This was a ssage relayed by soone from Hai Jingfu after noticing Fang Yu seed to be getting a bit anxious.
That's the principle, but asking Fang Yu to really just sit back and watch others hunt demons was sowhat unbearable.
"Mr. Diao! I might be in a bit of trouble, could you please lend a helping hand?"
The Elder from the Xun Family suddenly arrived with a courteous manner and said.
"I'll go!"
Hai Kongxin imdiately replied.
But as soon as he spoke, both his shoulders were pressed down by the other two almost simultaneously, holding him in place.
"What are you going for! They've invited Diao Keqing, what's it to do with you."
"You're grown up now, give the new friend so stage to perform, will it kill you?"
It was Hai Congbo and Hai Songying.
After they spoke, Hai Kongxin clearly wore a sour expression, but he just turned his head with a cold snort, without further acting up.
This surprised Fang Yu a bit.
From his understanding of Hai Kongxin, he would have thought this guy would defy Hai Jingfu's order to ss with him by setting traps.
Unexpectedly, the words of those two seed more effective than that of the Elder.
Because truth be told, if Hai Kongxin really wanted to throw a tantrum, Hai Jingfu would probably turn a blind eye as long as things didn't escalate.
Withdrawing his gaze from Hai Kongxin, Fang Yu said to the Xun Family Elder.
"Please lead the way, Lord Xun."
"This way! This way!"
The Xun Family Elder apparently didn't expect that his actions nearly caused an internal conflict within the Hai Family, showing visible panic as he hastily picked up the pace, leading the way in a very submissive manner.
