Li Baizhen remained close and also refused to help him pass any ssages. What could he do?
Li Baizhen’s reasoning was indeed logically sound.
What if the information leaks? Your human identity could be compromised, and instead, it might lead to the death of your second elder sister.
Once he gets in touch with your sister, the demons’ attention will focus on her, thus endangering her.
And if your sister does not keep the secret and you disappear here while she remains carefree without any worry, any investigation into this would be filled with loopholes.
Anyway, all reasons piled up, and they oddly made sense.
Despite Fang Yu now mingling between the Foolish Underworld and the demons, and seemingly doing quite well.
In reality, in front of the entire Foolish Underworld and the large group of demons, Diao Deyi is practically invisible.
Unnoticed, with no slips, hence why he could blend in well.
Once exposed, or if suspicions arise, his second sister would instantly be in grave danger.
Fang Yu also considered, whether there’s absolutely anyone trustworthy to whom he could entrust his sister’s safety.
The problem is, there isn’t.
Li Baizhen is alright character-wise, but if he can’t even tell how many demons are mingling around him, what can you expect?
As for demons, don’t even think about it.
Expecting demons to protect his sister would be like keeping a sheep with a tiger, never knowing when it might get hungry and eat her.
"Unreliable!"
"Not a single reliable one!"
As for the notable families and top martial arts houses ntioned above, Fang Yu hasn’t even interacted with them. He couldn’t possibly trust handing over his sister’s protection to them.
"Just take it one step at a ti."
"At least for now, both I and my sister are safe."
By the ti Fang Yu thought of this, he had already arrived in front of the street where his ho was located.
The entire street was pitch black, except for his house, where a dim yellow candlelight seeped out through the gaps in the wooden door.
His sister hadn’t gone to sleep yet.
Still waiting.
Fang Yu felt warmth in his heart.
His hesitant steps suddenly beca firm, and he stepped forward.
Approaching the entrance, he gently pushed open the door.
Creak.
The door opened a crack, and looking inside,
He saw his sister’s hand resting on the table, her face leaning on her hand.
She was frowning, drooling, unaware of what she might be dreaming.
His sister was sleeping soundly.
Because she was very timid.
Usually with such noise, she would have been awakened long ago.
But now, she was still deeply asleep.
"She must be exhausted."
Fang Yu thought to himself.
He gently closed the door, went to the room, and got a blanket.
He returned and gently covered his sister with it.
Pop!
Just at that mont.
His sister woke up.
She grabbed Fang Yu’s hand, still sowhat groggy.
"Diao... Deyi?"
Her sleepy voice was unexpectedly adorable.
"It’s ."
As Fang Yu spoke, his sister suddenly beca alert.
She shook her head and widened her eyes,
As if verifying whether she was still dreaming.
Only when the cold wind outside whistled in did she suddenly realize sothing.
Pop!
She suddenly hugged Fang Yu’s waist.
She held him tight, resting her head against him, her voice husky,
"Are you back?"
A tremor went through Fang Yu’s heart.
An indescribable emotion.
It was sothing he had never experienced in his family before.
Gently, he placed his hand on his sister’s head, Fang Yu said softly.
"Yeah, I’m back."
...
His sister didn’t speak again.
Her trembling body gradually cald down.
After a while, as if reassured, she fell into a deep sleep again.
This ti, Fang Yu carried her back to the room, placed her on the bed, and covered her with a blanket.
He softly said goodnight before leaving.
The heavy dark circles under his eyes, the bloodshot eyes, and the hollow cheeks.
It was evident his sister had been very haggard and exhausted these past days.
She probably hadn’t slept much at all.
Fang Yu sighed inwardly.
If he had such genuine familial affection in reality, how could he have left ho, to struggle alone in Jiangnan City.
Returning to his room, he exited the ga.
Fang Yu took off his gaming helt and looked out the window.
Hmm, the moon is so round.
The night passed.
Troubles stay in the past.
Life must go on.
Fang Yu entered the ga with full energy.
Just as he pushed the door open to step outside.
"Diao Deyi!!!"
His sister’s loud shout ca from the next room.
"I’m here."
Bang!
The second sister rarely slams the door so violently.
Her frugality runs deep into her soul, and she usually takes great care of the furniture.
It’s almost impossible for her to slam the door like this.
But today it happened, indicating how urgent she was.
"You, you, you really ca back!"
The second sister widened her eyes, standing still in disbelief.
She thought everything last night was just a dream!
"Yeah, I ca back, you slept outside last night, I carried you back."
Carried, carried back...
The second sister’s cheeks slightly ward.
But then, she imdiately realized that wasn’t the point.
She rushed to Fang Yu’s side, circling and checking.
"Second sister, what are you doing?"
"Are you, are you alright?"
"What could possibly be wrong with ?"
Fang Yu was bewildered, what sort of question was that.
"But, but, but every ti you ca back before..."
The second sister didn’t finish her sentence.
It was always heartbreak, or being headless.
Her impression of Diao Deyi had gradually deviated from common sense.
"It’s okay! I’m totally fine."
In so sense, the second sister’s premonition wasn’t wrong.
After all, at that ti, his ’demon body’ was injured to the extent of only having a head left.
"It’s fine, it’s fine."
Imdiately after, the second sister pouted sowhat grumpily.
"Where have you been these days, why haven’t you...?"
The second sister began to say this, then suddenly thought of sothing and shook her head silently.
"Forget it, don’t tell where you went and what you did."
"I just want you to co back, co ho every day, to see you every day."
"If you can’t co back... at least leave a ssage."
"Can you?"
The second sister looked up.
In her dark eyes, only two words.
Sincerity.
Despite the second sister discovering, since the night Diao Deyi ca ho decapitated.
She has beco more and more unable to understand Diao Deyi.
Despite Diao Deyi often coming ho injured inexplicably.
But it’s okay.
As long as Diao Deyi is still alive, still by her side, that’s enough.
Being together is the most enduring confession.
Family, too.
The second sister looked straight at Fang Yu.
"Answer ."
This mont, the slender second sister, had a strange sense of oppression.
Fang Yu slightly averted his gaze and nodded.
"Yes, yes, I’ll co ho every day if there’s no work at the Foolish Underworld. That’s how it was before."
The second sister recalled, and it seed true.
Then she smiled happily.
Holding Fang Yu’s hand, the second sister asked.
"Is there work at the Foolish Underworld today?"
"I don’t know yet."
"Then find so ti to accompany to a place at noon."
It was rare for the second sister to make such a request.
Fang Yu thought about it, it should be fine to take a leave from the Foolish Underworld.
"Where do you want to accompany you?"
"Detective Workshop."
Ah?
That scam place again.
The second sister wasn’t manipulated by that place getting brainwashed, spending a lot of money, right?
"Don’t want to?" The second sister asked nervously.
"No, let’s go, I’ll report to Foolish Underworld and then co back to et with you. Oh right, I also need to visit the martial arts school, I’ll co find you after I handle that."
"Okay! I’ll wait for you at ho!"
The second sister smiled, a shallow smile, very cute.
The second sister was sowhat of a beauty, just lacking a bit of plumpness on her face.
Her condition had been improving, but waiting up nights these past days, she looked haggard again, returning to her forr state.
Her face sunk in, losing its natural beauty.
"I’m going to leave now."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
The second sister was not the clingy type.
As long as she knew Fang Yu was alright, she could be at ease, not overthinking or ntally exhausting herself.
Fang Yu walked outside, then suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and turned back to ask.
"Second sister, didn’t you spend three pieces of silver at [Detective Workshop] to find out about Brother Cha’s whereabouts, how is it going?"
The smile on the second sister’s face suddenly stiffened, and then she slightly shook her head.
"I asked you to accompany to Detective Workshop because of this. You go ahead with your work, and when you’re done, I’ll explain more."
The second sister had said enough.
Fang Yu didn’t think further and strode outside.
