Chapter 288 Monster

Tianyuan Town, Yudi Mansion.

I'm back!

Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking around, the people who followed him on the mission were all paralyzed the moment they entered Yudi Mansion. They fell down on the spot and didn't want to walk any more.

Even Zhuo Xueer, the leader, was breathing heavily at this moment, as if exhausted.

The high-intensity battle and the continuous demonization made her feel uncomfortable.

The tension of enemies around her at any time made her heart tense.

If she was alone, it might be easier.

But with a whole team, she needed to be ready to solve the problems that the team couldn't solve at any time to ensure the survival of everyone.

After all, a slight negligence could mean the loss of a life.

She had just started as a substitute deputy captain, and there were not many people under her. Those who were willing to follow her were willing to follow her at the risk of their lives because they trusted her. She couldn't live up to this trust.

Fortunately, she finally brought everyone back to Yudi Mansion without any danger.

The only regret is that the mission was not completed successfully.

It was not easy to report to the higher-ups after killing only a senior member of the Bonfire Club.

Looking at the tired people, Zhuo Xueer said.

"You should all go back and rest today. I will deal with the report later. Of course, you will also get the reward."

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Master Zhuo Xueer!"

Hearing that they could go home, everyone around them cheered up and left after saluting.

Fang Yu was about to leave, but was called back by Zhuo Xueer.

Suo Fengxiang, who was next to him, glanced at Fang Yu, hesitated, and left.

She had also exerted a lot of effort in this battle and was quite tired. She needed to go back and recuperate.

And they had already returned to Yudi Mansion, so there should be no danger.

"Diao Deyi, follow me."

After everyone left, Zhuo Xueer asked Fang Yu to follow.

As they walked, she took out a book from her arms.

Looking closely, it was [Spring Buds]!

"You performed well today. As I said before, this thing belongs to you."

She was actually prepared.

Fang Yu reached out to take it.

The exercises that Zhuo Xueer picked for him were actually quite good.

The effects of the first two books were remarkable, and this one should not be much worse.

Furthermore, Fang Yu's strength was approaching the tree level at this moment, and his next goal was something related to [Qi].

Getting this martial arts book in advance should effectively help him improve his strength.

After putting away the secret book, Fang Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Lord Zhuo Xueer, where are we going?"

Zhuo Xueer looked back at him.

"I need to report to the higher-ups about the battle between the Li family and the Lin family, and I also need to mention your hot potato to the higher-ups, in case something happens. If the higher-ups fail to react in time and blame us, we will both be in big trouble."

It turned out that he went to report the news to the higher-ups.

That's good, it's a good opportunity to take a look at the strength level of the higher-ups in the Yudi Mansion, so that he can have a better understanding of the situation and make an accurate judgment whether to run away or stick together in the future.

Anyway, Fang Yu has seen the strength of the demon high-level.

80,000 HP and 70,000 HP, plus the demons are basically stronger than humans at the same level. To be honest, Fang Yu is not optimistic that humans can withstand the pressure.

Seeing Fang Yu silent, Zhuo Xueer suddenly said.

"Don't think that it's a small matter for you to bring back a gift family. There is no small matter when it involves the five major families."

If he is the captain or deputy captain.

It is not a big deal for Diao De to send a group of people to prison, even if they are from the five major families.

At that level, he has the power to make independent judgments and choices, and he belongs to one of the real high-level people of Yu Difu.

Every move can directly affect the decision-making direction of Yu Difu. Even if he is a little willful, the upper level will acquiesce and tolerate.

But the alternate deputy captain is not good. It is just a false title, and he is still at the team level in essence. Everything must be reported to the upper level and get instructions before the next step can be taken.

There must be concerns about everything, looking ahead and behind, neither up nor down. This is the embarrassing situation of Zhuo Xueer now.

Moreover, the competition within the Yudi Mansion is fierce. I don’t know how many people are eyeing her position as the alternate vice-captain, and want to take the opportunity to get promoted.

The task of this bonfire party was not completed well, it can be said that it was a mess. How many people are waiting to see the joke, it is impossible to say... the position of the alternate vice-captain will be taken back.

The alternate vice-captain who failed in the competition often ended up as a subordinate of a vice-captain. If they were lucky enough to get a good hand, it would be very difficult to climb up again.

People who have been labeled will not be willing to give a second chance.

Must pass the assessment! Must become a formal vice-captain!

Zhuo Xueer was determined in her heart, but she heard Diao Deyi, who had been walking side by side with her, suddenly speak.

"Master Zhuo Xueer, you, your face..."

Face?

Zhuo Xueer was shocked when she touched her face in doubt.

The rough surface of the skin, like the fine burrs of insects.

Is this... demonization? ?

When did I? ?

After quickly controlling it, the distorted facial features on Zhuo Xueer's face slowly retracted and turned back into human skin, but some fluffy spots were left on half of her face for unknown reasons.

They were not obvious, a bit like congenital moles, but if you look closely, you can see that these moles are out of tune with the surrounding human skin.

"It's gotten worse..."

Zhuo Xueer stopped and was silent for a while, then suddenly spoke.

"Lord Zhuo Xueer, your level of demonization..."

"...I'm fine."

After her words fell, she strode forward again, but her face had become much gloomier.

The degree of demonization is gradually increasing, and only by cultivating one's health and keeping one's spirit introverted can one suppress it somewhat.

A great war brings no benefits but many disasters.

"arrive."

Ahead, you can see a building like an ancient building.

The name is also quite simple - Yangshen Hall.

Fengyu Tower is where the Yangshentang Feng Team and Rain Team work.

Zhuo Xueer and the other supplementary vice-captains, vice-captains, and even captains of the Waiting for the Wind and Rain Teams usually gather at the Wind and Rain Building to do their work.

It’s just that captains and vice-captains are usually harder to see.

Only Team Yun seems to have another office.

The Yangshen Hall is where the three teams meet. Unlike Fengyu Tower, the team members below can enter and exit at will.

Here, if you don't have the position of vice-captain, you are not qualified to enter.

Of course, exceptions are made for special circumstances.

"Brother Hai, Brother Ming, I have something important to report to Uncle Zhou, please let me know."

Uncle Zhou is Dong Xingzhou.

Fang Yu thought Zhuo Xueer wanted to meet some high-level officials, but this was the result.

Fang Yu was speechless.

Your connections don't seem to be very good.

The two guards guarding the door are both powerful.

However, his status seems to be higher than that of Zhuo Xueer. In the world of power, personal connections are the key to determining status.

Fang Yu sighed.

"Dong Xingzhou? He has been suspended for half a month. You should not be able to see him in a short period of time."

"Suspension for half a month?!"

Zhuo Xueer was dumbfounded.

"Uncle Zhou? Suspended? Why??"

Zhuo Xueer didn't understand.

Although Uncle Zhou is the vice-captain, he has been there for decades. He is the oldest and most loyal among the vice-captains. How could he be suspended for half a month? ?

"have no idea."

The guard just shook his head. Not getting involved in this kind of thing was the key to their ability to stay in Yudi Mansion.

"..."

Zhuo Xueer was silent, and then suddenly seemed to think of something, turned around suddenly and looked at Fang Yu.

Gua?

What do you want me to do?

Fang Yu was stunned.

"Lord Zhuo Xueer, since Lord Dong Xingzhou is not here, how about we go back first?"

"..."

Zhuo Xueer was silent, thinking, and then shook her head slightly.

Then turned to the guard.

"I wonder if Mr. Zhang Zhenyi is here?"

"Not here."

The guard answered quickly.

Fang Yu was stunned.

"Sir, don't you need to go inside to confirm?"

The guard looked sideways at Fang Yu and said nothing.

Zhuo Xueer quickly apologized and smiled.

"He is new here and is ignorant. Don't be offended by the two elder brothers."

These two are professionals.

Since she entered the Foolish Underworld, the gatekeepers have changed several times, but these two people have never been out of the rotation list.

Whether it’s because of his strong background or his professionalism and reliability, he should not be offended easily.

After thinking for a moment, Zhuo Xueer said.

"In that case, I would like to meet... the master of our Yangshen Hall."

Hall master? !

When they heard that they were going to meet a big shot of this level, the two men finally changed their expressions slightly, looked a little more serious, and looked at each other.

"you sure?"

"Sure."

"...Okay, I'll go and report it."

Fang Yu thought there would be some twists and turns.

After all, you can't even meet the vice-captain, so you jump directly to the hall leader. Isn't it a bit of a leap?

But after waiting for a while, the guard came back.

"You can go in."

Zhuo Xueer strode forward, Fang Yu followed, but was stopped by the guard.

"She's the only one."

Fang Yu is familiar with this kind of treatment.

Isn't it just the treatment of a little brother who runs with you?

Fang Yu was depressed, but Zhuo Xueer just asked him to stay where he was and wait for her to come out.

Fang Yu stayed where he was, while the guards led the way, waiting for Zhuo Xueer to move forward.

Soon, we arrived at a courtyard.

In the small pavilion, an old man was drinking tea and reading, leisurely and contentedly.

Zhuo Xueer and the guards lowered their heads and bent over, motionless, waiting quietly.

After a while, the old man suddenly spoke.

"Sit down when you're here, don't stand around."

"Yes! Thank you for the seat, sir!"

Zhuo Xueer walked over and sat down. In her peripheral vision, she could already see the sensible figure of the guard quietly retreating.

"If you have anything to do, tell me."

The old man put down his book and looked at the visitor.

"There was a wild war between the Lin family and the Li family. The Bonfire Club secretly caused trouble, and I led my men to kill one of the senior officials."

"That's right. But it's just this kind of thing. There's no need to report it to me specifically."

Although they were just calm words, Zhuo Xueer's heart trembled, and she quickly gritted her teeth.

"...During the chaos, we also captured a woman from the Li family, who is now being held in prison."

"If you catch it, you'll catch it. There's no need to go out of your way to report such a trivial matter."

The old man shook his head slightly, and then said: "Zhuo Xue'er, you are too forward-thinking and don't stick to trivial matters to achieve great things. Back then, when your father just joined the job, he even arrested more than a dozen people from the five major families. Even if the opposite party held a knife on his neck, he never let go. Pass it. You are still far away from this kind of courage..."

Zhuo Xueer quickly lowered his head.

"My father, my father is also my role model!"

"That's all, he left early and couldn't teach you anything. But you still have his blood in your body, so you shouldn't just behave like this. You should work hard."

"Yes Yes!"

Having high hopes from the queen is both pressure and motivation.

Zhuo Xueer's impatience suddenly calmed down a lot for some unknown reason.

It would not be a big deal if this adult could tell the truth and put Li Xunxue in jail.

After thinking for a moment, she asked her last question.

"Sir, why was Uncle Zhou suspended from work? But what happened?"

"Dong Xingzhou?"

The old man smiled.

"He crossed a line."

Zhuo Xueer continued to wait, but the old man stopped speaking.

Zhuo Xueer was shocked and realized that things were not that simple.

"Then I won't disturb the adults' rest."

Get up and retreat.

The old man suddenly spoke.

"Don't worry, Dong Xingzhou will come back if there are no problems in half a month. By the way, how is the newcomer you asked to take care of?"

Zhuo Xueer was stunned immediately.

The superior leader of the Yangshen Hall actually asked about the status of a newcomer who had only been in the team for half a month?

She was confused.

Although Diao Deyi was pushed in by the hall master in front of her, she only thought that the hall master, for the sake of her father's death fighting for Yangshen Hall, specially arranged for good hands to be placed under her to give her a A helping hand.

Where would I have thought, it seems that this is not the case.

It seems that the hall master cares more about Diao Deyi than himself?

Thinking of Uncle Zhou's suspension, Zhuo Xueer was shocked and quickly lowered her head.

"Diao Deyi... his strength has improved rapidly and he has made many military exploits. He has a promising future."

"good."

The old man stroked his beard.

"Just now, the situation has begun to change, and it's time to use him. After you go back, you can arrange for him to come to me. I have a task for him."

A person who is not even a vice-captain is assigned a task by the hall master himself? ?

Zhuo Xueer was dumbfounded.

If I had only glanced at Fang Yu just now, I would have thought that this guy was some kind of illegitimate child.

Now, Zhuo Xueer just promoted Diao De to a captain-level existence!

How could this guy be so virtuous? ?

Zhuo Xueer did admit that Fang Yu had shown strong fighting ability before, but it was limited to this. In a real fight, this guy might not even be able to beat her.

What kind of relationship is this?

Zhuo Xueer thought to herself that there didn't seem to be anyone with a strong background named Diao in the Yangshen Hall.

After thinking, Zhuo Xueer quickly reacted and lowered her head.

"Sir, Diao Deyi is waiting outside the Yangshen Hall right now."

"oh?"

The old man became energetic and even put down the book in his hand.

"Then send him in."

"yes!"

Zhuo Xueer stood up, stepped back, and went to the door to call someone.

"Ah? The master wants to see me???"

Fang Yu was dumbfounded.

Following Zhuo Xueer, he couldn't even catch the surrounding scenery in time.

Not only because the person was confused, but also because Zhuo Xueer was walking very fast in front, walking with her head down.

The master of Yangshen Hall.

Isn’t this an absolute high-level one?

Just in time, let me check your ingredients!

Following Zhuo Xueer into the courtyard, at a glance, he saw a kind old man standing in a small pavilion, stroking his long white beard and smiling at him.

Combat power detector, turn on!

[Witch Green Bamboo: 8000/8000. 】

Fang Yu:......

One glance at the thimble, determined to be... a monster!
