Chapter 1816: Chapter 821: Quiet

Two more chasers?

Fang Yu’s heart stirred.

"How about I..."

"Just go inside. When it comes to clearing traces, you’re still too inexperienced."

Bo Changquan’s muscles tensed, already in a battle-ready state, seeming to harbor some lingering anger, with no intention of backing down.

Fang Yu wanted to speak further, but Bo Changquan had already shot towards the distant night sky like a human cannonball.

Yet Fang Yu hadn’t seen any signs of the enemy, and to even attempt to pick off the stragglers, he needed to find them first.

After a moment’s hesitation, Fang Yu returned with Zhuge Shi. ℓ.

The rest of the Bo Mansion people, following the orders of the Bo Family Great Elder, had already returned to the mansion.

As for the ruined courtyard walls and the battle traces they’d left, they could only wait for the situation to calm down before repairing them.

These are minor matters now.

"Mr. Diao, earlier... thank you very much."

Bo Shang cupped his fists as he spoke; his human-like skin was inconvenient to tear, otherwise, during the earlier battle, he could have played a much larger role.

However, with Fang Yu taking over the task, they managed to hold off the formidable enemy, making it a favor to Bo Shang.

Fang Yu waved it off. If Bo Shang wasn’t a demon of the Bo family, Fang Yu would’ve eliminated Bo Shang to convert him into attribute points for personal use.

Having only been in the Capital for a short while, Fang Yu was already feeling a sense of crisis; his need for increased power was urgent.

Yet, every demon in the Capital had a name, a background, and even though Fang Yu could see through their demonic forms, he couldn’t act recklessly; otherwise, he’d soon face the same fate as those from the Absolute Sect.

Holding Zhuge Shi, Fang Yu headed towards the room where Ding Hui was.

"Mr. Diao!"

"Mr. Diao."

The guards stationed at Ding Hui’s door were momentarily surprised upon seeing Fang Yu, then respectfully greeted him.

Both had several thousand points of battle power; the Bo Mansion had ensured Ding Hui’s protection quite thoroughly.

But Fang Yu’s real fallback wasn’t these two guards; it was...

Creak.

The door opened from the inside.

The one opening the door was none other than Diao Xiaohui, who had been in the room all along, also known as... Song Xi.

She offered Fang Yu a low bow, clearly inviting him inside.

"..."

The two guards exchanged glances, maybe with some thoughts bubbling up, but dared not express them.

Ignoring them, Fang Yu carried Zhuge Shi and boldly stepped into the room.

In the familiar, dimly lit room, the only light source was the workbench in the center.

Ding Hui was carefully dissecting a lump of flesh, perhaps too engrossed, not even acknowledging Fang Yu’s presence.

Fang Yu was already used to Ding Hui’s demeanor; once she entered her focused working mode, she wouldn’t waste time on meals or cleaning, dedicating her full heart to research.

Creak.

Diao Xiaohui silently shut the door, with all three squeezed into this dim room, yet none of them spoke.

Fang Yu placed Zhuge Shi on the nearby bed, gesturing to Diao Xiaohui to check her recovery from the injury left at the city gate, now fully healed.

Turning back to the woman on the bed, her pink ensemble was quite noticeable, with her breathing indicating stable life signs, though unconscious, her awakening uncertain.

If she couldn’t wake up, she’d be of no use; keeping her around would only be a burden.

Fang Yu was weighing the pros and cons, also waiting for Ding Hui to wrap up her task.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Bo Mansion.

Bo Li and other members of the Bo family’s second generation, after listening to Bo Fu’s boasting, all got excited, eager to transform into Fang Yu and battle the intruding strong foes three hundred rounds.

Bo Li and his peers didn’t avoid going out to confront the enemies; they simply lacked the strength for this caliber.

To be clear, this confrontation involved the Bo Mansion’s Guard Team Captain, several Bo Family Elders, all significant figures. Even if they all went out, they’d be like cannon fodder, easily slain by enemies, unable to contribute effectively to the battle, potentially requiring the Elders to divert attention to protect their safety.

Hence, they were ordered to remain inside and wait.

Now, post-battle, they understood the general situation and gained new insights into Fang Yu’s power and accomplishments.

"It’s a pity we couldn’t witness Senior Diao’s heroic battle stance, the scenario must have been breathtaking and awe-inspiring."

"I regret my weak abilities, unable to alleviate the family’s burden!"

"Aside from the Great Elder, everyone else was subdued by the formidable enemy instantly. What use would you be? Are you stronger than the other Elders?"

That statement immediately aroused indignation.

The juniors naturally competed among themselves, and soon became noisy.

But amid the clamor, they suddenly realized...

"Where’s Second Sister? Why is she missing?"

"Oh no! She must have gone looking for Senior Diao! This moment, Senior Diao is injured, an injury sustained for the Bo Mansion’s sake, it’s crucial for the Bo Mansion to express their concern..."

Everyone was still analyzing, but others had swiftly changed expressions and dashed out, leaving a few bewildered and Bo Fu, an injured man, on site.

Bo Fu couldn’t help but smirk.

While these siblings were still trying to ingratiate themselves with Senior Diao, he had already enjoyed Senior Diao’s protection at the risk of life! This privilege, this status, no matter how many consolations or how much care they provided, would still be unattainable.
