At the sa ti.
Knowing that Fang Yu had disappeared again, Xu Zhaopei was so angry that she dismantled Grandpa Xu Liu’s garden. This caused a huge uproar in the Xu Family, to the point where even old Mr. Xu couldn’t control it!
Compared to that, Jiang Wei was much calr, burying herself in work upon hearing the news.
...
The next morning.
When Fang Yu got up, he found that Ye Wenjun was already gone from his side, which puzzled him.
Stepping outside, he was greeted by the aroma coming from the dining room.
Fang Yu cracked a slight smile, washed up, and went downstairs.
"Wife, I’m going out to find soone to fight with haha..."
Ye Wenjun, who had the habit of making breakfast herself, heard this in the kitchen and frowned slightly.
"I’m really going!"
"Aren’t you going to stop ?"
"Heartless, to think we share the sa bed!"
As a well-educated heiress from a wealthy family, how could she tolerate a man shouting and talking nonsense at ho?
She just ca out, only to see that the hall was empty.
She panicked a bit, her hand trembling as she held the bowl. Hastily putting down the bowl, she tried to chase after him, but then heard an elderly voice from behind—
"Wenjun, just let him be."
Ye Wenjun turned around and saw Old Master Zhong slowly walking over, gently saying, "Grandpa Zhong."
Old Master Zhong looked at Ye Wenjun with a complex expression and said lightly:
"How did you sleep last night?"
"Fine," Ye Wenjun answered.
"Just fine?"
At this, Ye Wenjun’s face turned bright red and said, "I don’t understand what you an, Grandpa Zhong."
Old Master Zhong chuckled and said, "Never mind, I shouldn’t ddle in young couple’s affairs."
Hearing this, Ye Wenjun felt even more embarrassed.
"Grandpa Zhong, he’s just talking nonsense. It’s not what you think."
"I understand."
To explain is to cover up, to cover up is proof, and proof is more eloquent than discourse...
This "I understand" left Ye Wenjun without the urge to explain any further.
"Grandpa Zhong, I’m worried about him..."
Old Master Zhong raised his hand to stop her, saying, "Wenjun, he knows what he’s doing."
"He knows what he’s doing? He said he’s going to fight with the Zhao Family to death, is that knowing what he’s doing?" Ye Wenjun frowned.
Old Master Zhong laughed again, saying:
"Wenjun, let ask you. Have you really tried to understand soone? Especially a man?"
Hearing this, Ye Wenjun was stunned.
She fell into deep thought.
...
On the street, Fang Yu didn’t imdiately go looking for the Zhao Family.
Instead, he first bought a new phone and then had his SIM card reissued.
As soon as he logged onto WeChat, he received a barrage of various ssages.
He ignored most of the past ssages, but the latest two caught Fang Yu’s attention—
"Bro Yu, Tiger has woken up. Zeng Qiji."
"Bro Yu, Tiger and I have decided we’re going to Moon Bar to be bartenders. Zeng Qiji."
Fang Yu felt relieved.
Picking up the phone, he dialed Chen Daotian’s number.
Just as the call connected, a voice ca through—
"Yo, what does an Eighth Layer grandmaster want with ?" Chen Daotian spoke in a sing-song, mocking tone.
"Are you in Yanjing?"
"What a silly question, Yanjing is my turf, how can I not be here?"
"I rember there was an SSS-level task on the Dark Web about the Zhao Family and Jin Family. No one has taken it yet, right?" Fang Yu casually asked.
"No way, Brother Yu, you couldn’t possibly be thinking..." Chen Daotian spoke incredulously.
"That’s right, do a favor, I’ll take this task. Sync the details to the Dark Web." Fang Yu spoke calmly.
"Holy shit!￥#%%￥&...&%￥@#￥￥@#..." Chen Daotian spewed a string of profanities to express his excitent.
"If you keep this up, I’m cutting ties with you." Fang Yu said.
"No, don’t! I’m just excited... If you manage to complete this task, I’ll recognize you as my big brother for life and always call you Brother Yu!" Chen Daotian exclaid excitedly.
"Send the basic details of the task."
"Okay."
After this, Fang Yu hung up the phone.
Soon after, he received a sowhat lengthy text. The content was simple: SSS-level task—Retrieve the Black Wood Lotus. Current intelligence from the Dark Web only knows that the Black Wood Lotus is split in two, held by the Zhao Family and Jin Family respectively.
The remaining part was the address.
Black Wood Lotus?
Fang Yu muttered to himself.
He really didn’t know what was so special about such an item.
In fact, he had heard about this task a long ti ago when he was still weaker and knew it involved the Zhao Family and Jin Family. Surprisingly, no one had taken this task even two years later.
This address was clearly a smokescreen; it was unlikely that the Black Wood Lotus was here.
Otherwise, how foolish would the Zhao Family have to be, openly inviting others to steal it?
"Good, let’s consider this SSS-level task as a breakthrough point." Fang Yu smiled lightly.
After Fang Yu accepted the task, it didn’t take long for the Dark Web community to explode—
"SSS-level task has been taken! Who took it? Does anyone know?"
"Holy shit! Which great one has the guts? Respect! I want to worship him as my big brother!"
"Up till now in our Dark Web, only three people have completed an SSS-level task, right?"
"Bullshit. The big three haven’t taken any tasks for a while... Wasn’t there a powerful young man a year ago who completed an SSS-level task? I suspect it’s this great god!"
"I swear, if he even completes this one, he’ll probably break into the top twenty of the national martial strength rankings."
The martial strength rankings are a list curated by martial arts enthusiasts who spend a lot of ti rating the known martial artists based on their outward strength.
Currently, Fang Yu is ranked seventy-second.
After syncing the task information, Chen Daotian grinned mischievously as he looked at the rankings.
"Brother Yu, Brother Yu... ranked 72nd in the martial strength rankings, I really want to publish your magnificent achievents. Including capturing Qin Wan alive, you should at least break into the top ten!"
"Good grief..."
Chen Daotian scrolled his mouse, examining the na ranked 45th: Chen Daotian.
He couldn’t help saying awkwardly: "Holy shit! I’m this aweso, and I’m still ranked 45th? An absolute disgrace! An absolute disgrace!" Saying this, he unhesitatingly published the information about capturing Qin Wan.
The martial strength rankings are updated in real-ti.
As soon as new achievents appear, the rankings are imdiately updated. The administrators aren’t worried about people fabricating their achievents on the list... Because the higher one climbs, the harder they fall. Bragging also requires capital; there have been martial artists who, in order to brag, fabricated lots of false information, such as claims of killing a certain Fifth Layer Martial Artist. However, that Fifth Layer Martial Artist showed up at their door and blew their head off, turning into a widely scoffed-at anecdote...
Right after publishing, Chen Daotian saw his own na rise five places.
"40th place... only climbed this much."
"Damn, better keep diligently practicing the Chen Family’s Body Refinent Techniques! If I don’t keep pushing, that freak Brother Yu is going to widen the gap!"
...
After receiving the task, Fang Yu hailed a cab to the address provided on his phone.
Fang Yu knew that there was no Black Wood Lotus at this address.
But...
Fortune favors the bold, how can one capture tiger cubs without entering the tiger’s den?
