Chapter 870: Chapter 411: Can You Be a Good Teammate for Fang Mu!?_2

Fang Mu’s phone rang again.

Seeing that it was a call from Luo Su, Fang Mu pressed the answer button.

“Brother Fang, what’s the situation on your end?”

“I just finished talking to Miss Fang Lin, and she said you’re handling the B-level pollution leak on your own.”

“I just sent reinforcements over.”

“The reinforcements were requested by Miss Fang Lin’s assistant, Su Yue, from the Jinghai Army.”

“If the reinforcements aren’t enough, just let me know!”

“And don’t push yourself too hard in dealing with the pollution!”

“It would be more loss than gain if you hurt yourself in the process!”

Luo Su spoke with extreme seriousness.

Because of the relationship with Lu Yuyu, Luo Su always called Fang Mu “Brother Fang” fondly.

Since Fang Qin became a Disciple of the “Dragon Mother” and left the Jinghai Army,

Luo Su has not had the chance to repay Fang Mu.

This made Luo Su feel quite remorseful.

Hearing Luo Su’s concern for him, Fang Mu spoke with a smile.

“Sister Luo Su, you should know that I’ve never been one to overexert myself.”

“As for reinforcements, Miss Fang Lin has already discussed it with me.”

“The pollution incident should indeed be successfully resolved within two days.”

When Luo Su first heard the news from Miss Fang Lin, she really thought Fang Mu was just showing off.

Luo Su found it hard to believe that Fang Mu, a young man and a One-point Stars Beast Master, could handle such a large-scale accident.

This made Luo Su wary of Miss Fang Lin, fearing that she was trying to shift the blame by pulling Fang Mu into the middle of it.

After communicating with Fang Mu, Miss Fang Lin finally put her mind at ease.

She silently chided herself for underestimating Fang Mu’s abilities!

Originally, Miss Fang Lin had intended to welcome Fang Mu back to JA City and find a time to host him,

but Luo Su ultimately refrained from extending the invitation.

The status difference between herself and Fang Mu was simply too great; her proactive invitation might be misinterpreted by Fang Mu, thinking she had a favor to ask.

She only needed to watch over Fang Mu from a distance.

When Fang Mu needed her help, she would do everything in her power to assist him.

On this point, Luo Su and Lu Yuyu were in complete agreement.

Just as Luo Su thought Fang Mu was about to hang up, she heard him ask,

“Sister Luo Su, you and Brother Lv’s wedding is next month, right?”

“I’ll be going to The Capital in the middle of next month.”

“If I can make it to your wedding, I’ll definitely come to celebrate!”

“If the timing doesn’t work out, I’ll send someone to deliver the wedding gift.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Su felt a surge of unexpected joy.

She had been careful not to actively invite Fang Mu, but there was no reason for her to reject Fang Mu’s kindness when he took the initiative.

Luo Su planned to immediately call Lu Yuyu afterward to inform him of this.

A special position for distinguished guests at the wedding must be set aside for Fang Mu to express their sincerity!

…

JA City was functioning as usual, the midday breeze gently swaying the weeping willows.

The willows lazily drifted in the wind.

After the renovation, all the plants planted in the urban area of JA City do not turn yellow and shed their leaves in winter.

If it weren’t for the chill in the air, and people starting to wear hoodies at night,

JA City would look no different from the height of summer.

The residential area where Hu Tao lived was not attacked during the Evil Heart Sect’s invasion of JA City.

Because of this, the prices in Hu Tao’s residential area skyrocketed.

Hu Tao’s parents had been considering moving for a year already.

Both of Hu Tao’s parents hoped she could be admitted to Jinghai Tianyu University.

The place where they currently lived was somewhat far from Jinghai Tianyu University.

The initial intention of Hu Tao’s parents to move was simple; the only reason they hadn’t moved was that only large-sized houses were available in the few suitable residential areas near Jinghai High School for Beast Masters.

Hu Tao’s parents had a limited budget, and spending all their savings on the house would affect the resources they could provide for Hu Tao later on.

Now, taking advantage of the rising housing prices in the community, Hu Tao’s parents had already put their current house on the market.

Based on the current prices, selling the house would just be enough to buy a medium-sized apartment near Jinghai Sky Domain University.

From what Hu Tao had told them, they learned that it was Fang Mu who had saved Jinghai Beastmaster High School and Hu Tao’s life.

In JA City, this was hardly a secret.

Hu Tao’s parents had never expected that Fang Mu, whom they had always felt sorry for and cherished, was actually so capable!

Hu Tao’s parents were not at all power-seeking or utilitarian; otherwise, they wouldn’t have allowed Hu Tao to be friends with someone ordinary like Fang Mu.

Now that they knew Fang Mu was no ordinary person, they still didn’t expect Hu Tao to try to climb up socially.

After Hu Tao received the tri-flavor soup her mother had reluctantly made, she ate a spoonful of mashed potatoes with rice.

Looking up at her father, her mother said very earnestly,

“Mom and Dad, Fang Mu said he wants to invite me to be his teammate and take me to compete in the national collegiate competition.”

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao’s mother paused in the act of serving soup, and Hu Tao’s father choked on the mashed potatoes with rice he hadn’t yet swallowed, coughing up a storm.

The two parents exchanged a glance, both hearing the implication in Hu Tao’s words.

Considering Hu Tao’s current abilities and the resources their family could provide,

Hu Tao had no qualifications to participate in the national collegiate competition.

Being selected as a player for a large Club Guild was already a stroke of fate for Hu Tao.

For Fang Mu to invite Hu Tao, he would certainly have to share some of his resources with her.

Only then could Hu Tao achieve such results.

Fang Mu was someone they had watched grow up; they were well aware of his character.

Before Fang Mu revealed his astonishing background, Hu Tao’s improvement had a lot to do with Fang Mu.

Hu Tao asking them this way was both a discussion and a request.

Lin Wei’s heart was somewhat complicated by this.

Her wish had always been simple: she hoped Hu Tao could live a healthy and happy life.

She was hardly ever driven by ulterior motives.

Hu Tao achieved her current results without any pressure from Lin Wei; it was all due to Hu Tao’s enthusiasm.

Lin Wei was afraid that if Hu Tao followed Fang Mu, people would gossip about Hu Tao.

For a girl, gossip and rumors could ruin a lifetime.

Lin Wei turned her gaze to Hu Xu.

When she was undecided, Lin Wei preferred to seek Hu Xu’s opinion.

Seeing that both his wife and daughter were looking at him, Hu Xu thought for a long time before asking Hu Tao very seriously,

“Tao Tao, are you sure you can be a good teammate for Fang Mu?”

“You’ve grown up now, and after turning sixteen, you can make decisions for your own life.”

“But no matter what, I want you to talk to Fang Mu on the phone sometime this week, regardless of the choice you make.”

They say a father knows his daughter best.

Hu Xu had always known that Hu Tao was a very decisive person.

If Hu Tao didn’t want to be Fang Mu’s teammate, she would have already flatly refused him.

She certainly would not be seeking her and Lin Wei’s opinions here.

For Hu Xu, rather than asking Hu Tao why she made such a choice, it might be better to have a serious man-to-man talk with Fang Mu, the person extending the invitation to Hu Tao.

Only then could Hu Xu, as a father, be at peace with his daughter making such a decision.

Relieved by what she heard, Hu Tao had been afraid her parents would oppose her acceptance of Fang Mu’s invitation.

With her father telling her to decide for herself, Hu Tao could reply to Fang Mu tomorrow morning.

As for her father talking to Fang Mu, Hu Tao didn’t think it would be difficult.

The last time Fang Mu had walked her home, he had gotten soaked in the rain, and her father had invited him to have dinner at their place and changed into some of her father’s clothes before leaving.

Ever since Fang Mu had shown his remarkable skill at chess, he would come over every now and then to play a couple of games with her father.

Hu Tao was curious how Fang Mu, someone who studied guardian beast knowledge every day, could be so good at chess!

Fang Mu, who was feeding Poison Crystals to the Lake Flame Gemini, suddenly sneezed.

He rubbed his nose.

As the saying goes, thinking leads to scolding and musing leads to mentioning – he wondered who was thinking of him at this moment.
