Fang Yu was completely dumbfounded.
As for the person next to the forty thousand Blood Demon, it turned out to be Brother Qing's bodyguard, who was known to Fang Yu from several past encounters.
The once fearso Great Demon of Endless Blood now seed no longer a threat.
Instead, it was the forty-thousand Blood Demon next to him that really made one's heart tremble.
After all, judging by the strength of a Martial Artist, he was only at the level of a Thousand Blood Warrior himself, not even reaching two thousand in blood amount.
This gap was indeed colossal.
Not daring to delay, Fang Yu promptly went forward to greet the two.
Bie Huzi, who was initially leading the way, was suddenly stunned and followed closely behind Fang Yu, his face one of bewildernt.
Then he saw Fang Yu respectfully saluting the two people in front.
"Greetings to Lord Li Lan! Greetings to this lord... may I know if there is anything you require of ?"
Upon hearing this, Bie Huzi realized that these two people were extraordinary, with significant status, and he imdiately perford a salute in shock.
However, the two people only glanced sideways at Bie Huzi. Li Lan spoke up.
"Follow us, he will stay here."
Pointing to none other than Bie Huzi.
After speaking, the two turned and walked ahead.
Bie Huzi naturally had no complaints.
Fang Yu instructed Bie Huzi briefly, then followed the two with slight trepidation in his heart.
Being Brother Qing's bodyguard, they wouldn't bring harm to , right?
Upon reaching a secluded alley, the two people in front finally stopped.
Li Lan turned back to look at Fang Yu and smiled.
"Blood Demon, no need to be so rigid. Our visit this ti is rely a private contact, not an official eting."
Private contact?
Not an official eting?
What does that an?
Fang Yu was slightly puzzled.
At the sa ti, he noticed that the forty-thousand Blood Demon was observing him, their eyes eting, and the forty-thousand Blood Demon smiled gently.
That surprised Fang Yu.
Though his status had risen rapidly recently, he was probably still far from a forty-thousand Blood Demon, yet such gentleness in his deanor... It must be related to Lord Qingyao.
Fang Yu knew his own capacity; previously, even the minor Demon Foot of Gui Yuan, a moth demon, looked down on him, let alone this potentially even more significant figure standing before him.
Without so background connection, demons of this level probably wouldn't even spare him a glance.
"Lord Li Lan, may I know who this lord is..."
"This is Lord Li Anlu, the head of the Hundred Blade Hall of the Li Family. He is also in charge of regions such as Baoan District, Xiangyun Region, etc. That is... your direct superior."
Fang Yu was taken aback and promptly bowed again.
"The newly appointed Demon Foot Blood Demon greets Demon Lord!"
Li Anlu smiled.
"No need for formalities. I've seen the dossier Lord Qingyao sent, I know you've just been promoted and aren't familiar with the current organization. Therefore, Lord Qingyao specifically asked to explain a couple of things to you."
Pausing for a mont, he continued: "Previously, as a Demon Tail, you were responsible for the Foolish region, which includes the Foolish Underworld as the core area extending to so surrounding streets. Now as a Demon Foot, you'll manage the surrounding Foolish street blocks along with around a dozen other regions, collectively referred to as Baoan District, centered around Baoan Temple, spreading outwards."
"Demons Tail are responsible for street blocks, Demon Foot for districts. The job position differs, and naturally, the scope of the administration is significantly different too. Theoretically, it's more cumberso and tiring, but as long as you manage each Demon Tail in your own streets well without causing trouble, generally, there won't be any major issues requiring your direct intervention. At most you'd need to step in when there are frictions among Demon Tail."
"Of course, if there are assignnts from upstairs, you must also lead your subordinate Demon Tail proactively."
This was quite a formal explanation, to which Fang Yu dutifully responded.
However, what slightly surprised Fang Yu was that the street blocks were centered around the Foolish Underworld, while the district was centered around Baoan Temple.
Could it be that Baoan Temple, where Monk Quan Heng resides, has quite a reputation?
Seeing that Fang Yu was so compliant, Li Anlu was quite pleased.
No one wants to deal with a troublemaker under their command.
Drawing a bit closer, Li Anlu said: "As Li Lan ntioned, you need not be so rigid. What I just talked about was official business. Now that the official talk is done, let's chat a bit about personal matters."
Fang Yu was intrigued.
Here it cos.
But still, he listened attentively.
"Lord, please speak."
Li Anlu smiled and said: "Do you know who worked behind the scenes for your promotion today to Demon Foot?"
Fang Yu hesitated slightly: "It should be... Lord Shu Bird Demon who appreciates talent and promoted ."
Li Anlu did not expect Fang Yu to bring up such a prominent figure and quickly beca serious.
"Of course! Lord Shu Bird Demon indeed appreciates your talent and has wholeheartedly promoted you. But besides Lord Shu Bird Demon, there is another lord who also greatly cares about your affairs."
This ti, Li Anlu did not let Fang Yu guess but directly said: "It is Lord Qingyao who you've previously dealt official matters with. He not only promoted you to Demon Foot but also carefully prepared rewards for you. The rewards you received today were all personally arranged by him, and even the demotion of that minor Demon Foot subordinate to your command was arranged by Lord Qingyao – he was concerned that you, just promoted to Demon Foot, might not have capable subordinates to depend on, to restrain others."
"This arrangent directly lets the demon crowd know you have backing and also equips you to manage others, to assert yourself in advance but protect yourself in retreat. He truly has your best interests at heart."
Fang Yu was moved.
Indeed! It was all arranged by Brother Qing!
A smile appeared on Fang Yu's face.
"So, it turns out everything was arranged by Lord Qingyao, surely motivated by his old affection, thus he took extra care of . If not for that, a little demon like would hardly be able to ascend the elegant halls."
