Fang Yu scratched his head.
He did not expect Ding Hui’s reaction to be so strong.
However, since she said that his elder sister was fine, then she should be fine.
It’s only a matter of a few days, Ding Hui will be back, there’s no need to worry too much.
After securing the front door of his house, he turned around and saw his elder sister, sleepy-eyed and rubbing her eyes, standing at the door of her room, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"Diao Deyi? I thought I just heard Doctor Ding’s voice, is she also at ho?"
Diao Ruru rubbed her head, feeling a bit dizzy, as if soone had hit her head, and it still hurt a bit.
"What ti is it now? I think I’ve overslept."
Fang Yu smiled, locked the door, and walked towards her.
Explaining this matter would require another round of elaboration.
Luckily, he had a prepared script, which he had thought of on the way back, and now was the perfect ti to use it.
"Elder sister, you’ve slept for quite a long ti, Ding Hui said..."
...
Wu Wei Teahouse, private room on the fourth floor.
A lone figure sat by the window, gazing diagonally below.
Around him, it was eerily quiet.
Though the room was full of guests, no one spoke a word.
Tap, tap, tap.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps echoed, stepping on the old wooden staircase, and making a harsh noise.
Following the gaze of the people seated, their eyes fell upon an elegant and beautiful mature woman.
Apparently searching for soone, the woman quickly spotted soone and strode swiftly towards the person sitting alone by the window.
Upon approaching, she imdiately kneeled at half.
"Lord Lan."
The person, shockingly, was the Red Moon Demon.
"This Blood Demon has acted recklessly by gathering demons to slaughter the people of Yuan Body Martial Arts Pavilion, causing a huge uproar and imnse casualties. This rash behavior shows a lack of seriousness for our main plan, it isn’t stable at all! In my view, this demon is not fit to hold the position at the tail end!"
As her words ended, those seated around exchanged whispers, but no sound was made.
Only the person by the window, didn’t even turn his head, nor did he acknowledge her.
As ti slowly passed, cold sweat gradually appeared on the forehead of the Red Moon Demon.
She felt nervous, her breathing beca rapid, her head bowed low, not daring to make any rash movents.
Fortunately, at this mont, the person by the window finally moved.
He slowly turned his head to look at the person kneeling on the floor.
"How’s the search for the test subjects?"
The Red Moon Demon trembled, fearfully lowering her head even more.
Lord Lan did not touch on the matter of the Blood Demon, but instead asked her about the progress of the test subjects.
This clearly showed his position.
How could the Red Moon Demon not understand the implication behind his words?
Feeling as if she had fallen into an icy abyss, knowing she had displeased him, she quickly assured.
"In, in five days... no! In three days, there will definitely be a suitable test subject ready!"
Hearing this, Lord Lan withdrew his gaze, continued looking out the window, and spoke.
"Go and prepare."
"Yes!"
The Red Moon Demon excitedly stood up, hurriedly stepped back, her legs sowhat unsteady, showing signs of weakness.
Only after the Red Moon Demon had descended downstairs, did the surrounding murmurs slightly increase.
"Look how frightened she is."
"Tsk tsk tsk, the lower ranked demons have no courage."
"I think Lord Lan hardly cared about what she said, he’s not in the mood to bother with such trivial matters."
"Indeed, Lord Lan is wholeheartedly focused on that matter, other minor things must step aside."
"She’s bold to bring petty squabbles of the lower ranked demons in front of Lord Lan to play mind gas, I can’t stand to watch!"
"Don’t ddle, each demon can provide a couple of test subjects that can suffice, even if they are garbage, they are sowhat useful garbage."
"Hmph! I have my own judgnt."
A figure at a table, like a phantom in the mist, slowly disappeared.
The surrounding noise also quieted down, returning to tranquility.
Suddenly, a ripple spread through the air, a blue paper crane flew out from the ripple, landing in front of Lord Lan’s table.
Lord Lan curiously touched it.
In an instant, his expression changed.
"What’s this?!!"
Amidst the other confused, or rather unseen gazes, an invisible fetus demon was wriggling in the palm of Lord Lan.
"I... need to step out for a while. You all stay and watch over the Lin Family."
Lord Lan stood up and left.
"Yes!"
The crowd responded, but it sounded like it ca from a single person, identical without any variation.
