Fang Yu heard that the Hai Family had arranged a room specifically for Ding Hui to concentrate on refining medicine and even assigned special guards for her.
This made Fang Yu a bit uneasy.
But since they were staying at the Hai Family, as long as they didnât do anything harmful to them, the Hai Family shouldnât do anything detrimental to them for the time being.
Closed his eyes and continued practicing [Spirit Shield].
Perhaps it was due to an improvement in his spiritual power, Fang Yu was becoming increasingly adept at mastering the Spirit Shield, but the cost was...
[Erosion Level: 15%.]
Just practicing elevated the erosion level to this extent, which made Fang Yu somewhat tense.
However, the Spirit Shield, or rather the power of the Spirit, was still at quite a basic level, and Fang Yu even wondered if using the Spiritâs power in actual combat would be beneficial or detrimental, since once the Spirit Shield breaks, it could directly injure the spirit and affect his combat strength.
Looking outside the window, seeing the sky had already darkened, Fang Yu began to take action.
...
Qu Gang.
Unsure of what day it was today.
At the entrance of Qu Gang, unexpectedly, there were big red lanterns hanging.
With each person entering, a series of congratulations sounded, and Fang Yu realized that today was the auspicious day of Qu Gang Leader taking a new concubine.
Yet this time, it was the seventy-second concubine, indeed a man with extraordinary talents.
With such frequent concubine-taking, everyone was naturally not surprised to see the big red lanterns at Qu Gang Leaderâs doorstep.
Some came to celebrate, while others came to cause trouble.
Just like now, Fang Yu, about to climb over the wall and sneak in, saw an old man crying and pulling at the guards at the entrance.
From a distance, it seemed that Qu Gang Leaderâs seventy-second concubine was the old manâs daughter, but it was under forced purchase and sale that he was dissatisfied, coming to create a scene.
However, the point of dissatisfaction was not about the forced sale but... the lack of money given.
The usual storming and rolling tricks were performed until the moment when the guards drew their longswords from their waists, the old man quickly got up, having just been lamenting about his weak body, wanting to see his daughter one last time, tears still hanging on his face, now miraculously cured, scrambling away.
Such an episode, Fang Yu glanced casually, but just as he was about to look away...
he saw someoneâa woman, a young woman.
[Wan Qingning: 25131/25131.]
Fang Yu smiled.
Originally about to climb the wall, his motion paused, and then he vanished from the spot.
"Miss Wan!"
The guards at the entrance seemed to recognize this woman, seeing her coming with gifts, they all smiled, becoming somewhat flirtatious.
Wan Qingning flirtatiously smiled, sending the congratulatory gift into the guardâs hand, while reaching out a finger, slowly sliding it down the guardâs chest.
The other guard couldnât hold back anymore, approaching Wan Qingning from behind, closed his eyes, and took a deep sniff, as if smelling her fragrance, speaking with a few more magnetic tones: "I wonder if Miss Wan has any plans tonight, my brother and I have been admiring Miss Wan for quite a while..."
Wan Qingning saw this, covered her mouth with an exaggerated giggle, and pushed the two away, laughing: "Wan Qingning chooses men, men donât choose me, as for you two... still lacking a little."
One of them showed a disappointed expression.
The other discontentedly said: "And whatâs lacking? I saw you bring even those stray men from the roadside home the other day! Arenât we, brothers, better than those stinking beggars!"
Upon hearing the insults, far from being outraged, Wan Qingningâs eyes grew charmingly seductive, covered her mouth with a laugh: "Oh dear! Why so serious, I just didnât have the time these past few days, when I have the time..."
"Miss Wan!"
Her words were interrupted by a voice.
Wan Qingning turned around in confusion to look but didnât recognize the person.
But before she could speak, Fang Yu had already stepped up quickly and took her arm.
"Miss Wan, youâre finished? Youâre meeting me tonight, right!"
Smooth-skinned, steady steps, seemed to have trained in martial arts, his physique wasnât bad.
The words Wan Qingning had planned to speak swallowed back down, she leaned her head to Fang Yuâs shoulder, sweetly saying: "Young master, why did you come only now, making me wait so impatiently."
"Rare to meet Miss Wan, wouldnât I spend extra time preparing?"
Fang Yu laughed, leading Wan Qingning into the Qu Gang, provoking cold stares from the two guards.
The people who came to congratulate seeing this couldnât help but shake their heads slightly.
Those unknowing might think Wan Qingningâs clothes were good-looking, that the young master was climbing too high.
But those who knew Wan Qingningâs situation knew that it was the young master who was about to be ruined.
Inside Qu Gangâs territory, Wan Qingning still leaned her head on Fang Yuâs body softly whispered.
"Earlier, thanks to the young master for resolving the issue... otherwise, this young lady wouldnât have known what to do facing those two bullies."
"Youâre welcome, unfortunately, I have something to deal with later and canât accompany you to sit together. But if youâre afraid, once the banquet ends, we could leave together?"
"Alright!"
Wan Qingning blinked at Fang Yu, seemingly seeing someone captivating, her eyes seemed to speak.
"Then we have a deal!"
Fang Yu smiled, nodded, and turned to leave.
Watching Fang Yuâs departing figure, Wan Qingningâs lips formed a small smile.
Dessert after dinner.
Having turned away from Wan Qingning, Fang Yu quietly smiled.
Sweet treats after meals.
The two walked opposite directions.
Where Fang Yu headed, was where Qu Gang Leader was.
But he didnât know, Wan Qingningâs destination was Qu Gangâs Underground Secret Room.
"Let me out! Let me out!"
"Help me! Master, save me! I donât want to die here! I donât want to die here!"
