"Brother Yu, I just realized something," Chen Daotian said, hurrying to catch up with Fang Yu, who was walking briskly.

"What's the problem?"

"When did you become so knowledgeable?" Chen Daotian remarked.

Fang Yu stopped in his tracks, glared at him, and said, "It's not that I'm knowledgeable, but that you are ignorant... With your current level, when can you break through to Innate? You've used up all the Black Wood Lotus and only reached the peak of the Martial Arts Seventh Layer! With such strength, I could crush you with my little finger!"

Chen Daotian looked aggrieved.

Looking back over the past five or six years, the gap between the two of them hadn't been so wide. Chen Daotian often sparred with Fang Yu in Martial Arts. But as time went on, the gap between them grew larger and larger.

Especially in the past half year.

Fang Yu had reached a level where he could crush him.

"Brother Yu, you can't compare me with your monstrous self... You know, when Lu Tianyuan first burst onto the scene, he was close to forty when he reached the middle stage of Martial Arts Seventh Layer," Chen Daotian said proudly.

"Still not enough... Anyway, you need to work harder. Don't hold me back." Fang Yu walked faster.

"...I'm not holding you back!"

"You're not holding me back, just dragging your pants. Hurry up and zip up your fly. Aren't you embarrassed!"

...

Approaching noon.

Fang Yu and Chen Daotian returned to the Ye Family's villa.

In the courtyard,

Ye Wenjun was holding a tree branch, moving gracefully like a fairy.

"Brother Yu, sister-in-law is really beautiful!" admired Chen Daotian.

"Cut the chatter."

Fang Yu walked inside.

The Hidden Dragon Guards on both sides bent over in respect.

Ye Wenjun also saw this, stopping her swordsmanship practice.

"Not bad," Fang Yu complimented.

"There's still a lot to improve. I need to get familiar with all the sword moves," Ye Wenjun said indifferently.

Fang Yu nodded.

This top student's brain was different from ordinary people; she knew how to learn things and also knew not to rush but to progress step by step. This was self-learning ability, in other words, a talent.

At that moment—

Ye Xingchen came out. Seeing Fang Yu standing in the courtyard, he joyfully said, "You've finally decided to come back!"

"Looks like you have something on your mind?" Fang Yu spoke.

"Ah, these past few days, I've been dealing with company affairs. It's been incredibly busy. The other day, our company collaborated with Jiangzhou's Qingcheng Group, and I didn't expect to get beaten up by the boss's sister. I couldn't even fight back," Ye Xingchen explained.

"Oh." Fang Yu heard it was Qingcheng Group and quickly pretended ignorance.

"That Jiang Xiaoxiao, she insists you are her brother-in-law, is it true or not?" Ye Xingchen asked.

"Nonsense, if it were true, how could I get a marriage certificate with Wenjun?" Fang Yu said.

"True," Ye Xingchen scratched his head, "Hey, wait, it could still be that you're keeping a mistress, no?"

Fang Yu rolled his eyes: "Think about it, with the intelligence and genes of the Ye family, could I deceive you?"

"That's indeed true... Hey, brother Daotian, what's wrong with you? Ate something wrong? Don't throw up at the doorway, hurry to the toilet—"

...

In the hall.

Fang Yu glanced around and said, "Where's my father-in-law?"

Ye Wenjun walked in, saying sedately, "You need him for something?"

"I really do have something very important for my father-in-law," Fang Yu smiled, "I can't hide anything from you."

"Sure, I'll send the Hidden Dragon Guards to find him."

Ye Wenjun instructed to do so.

In less than ten minutes.

Ye Xingkong hurried back,

Seeing Fang Yu in the hall, Ye Xingkong grinned, "My wise nephew, you have something important for me?"

Fang Yu nodded.

At this moment, Zhong Long and Zhong Hu also came out.

The core members of the Ye family were now all present.

Fang Yu then began to speak:

"I have two important matters to announce today. Let me be concise—"

He paused, then continued, "During this period, I believe you all have realized that the world is not as simple as you think... We have offended the Luli Sect, so we might face their furious retaliation next."

Upon hearing this, the Ye family faces filled with concern.

Although I had anticipated this, hearing Fang Yu say it himself still made me a bit worried and nervous.

"Furthermore, Chen Daotian and I need to take a long journey to handle an extremely important matter, so the safety of Ye Family will have to rely on yourselves from now on!"

As soon as he said this,

Ye Xing Kong, Zhong Long, Zhong Hu, along with Ye Wenjun, and Ye Xingchen, all changed color.

"Xian nephew, you are going out?" Ye Xing Kong exclaimed in surprise.

"Mmm..."

"Who will deal with the Luli Sect once you leave? We can't even beat the servants under Shangguan Linghui!" Ye Xing Kong said.

At this point,

Fang Yu took out a freshly refined sixth-grade elixir pill, Guiyuan Pill, from his pocket.

"Father-in-law... you'd better keep this safe."

He handed the elixir to Ye Xing Kong.

Ye Xing Kong was astonished, feeling that this elixir was extraordinary; he felt a bone-chilling cold and a clear fragrance as soon as it was in his hands.

"This..." Ye Xing Kong didn't know what to do.

"Old Zhong is too old. It's not suitable for him to travel long distances. Right now, you are the most suitable… Take this thing, go to Ninth Layer Hall of the Lu Family, and hand it over to Xie Daoyun," Fang Yu slowly stated.

"Xie Daoyun?"

"Yes... She can ensure your safety."

Hearing this, Ye Xing Kong was astounded—

"The Ninth Layer Hall, the strongest of the Lu Family? Does it really exist?"

Fang Yu didn't explain further, simply saying, "Just do as I said."

"I understand..." Ye Xing Kong carefully stowed away the elixir.

Without saying much more, he turned and left the Ye Family villa.

Inside the hall.

Silence ensued.

This atmosphere, it was just like that night, waiting for the Jin Family's Deadpool, oppressive and full of crisis.

Fang Yu approached Ye Wenjun.

"The drawing you made, it's not as good as the last sketch..."

"..." Ye Wenjun was at a loss for words.

Seeing her calm face, Fang Yu smiled and said four words: "Wait for my return."

After speaking, he didn't turn back and walked out of the hall.

Chen Daotian quickly followed.

Watching his departing figure, Ye Wenjun remained silent the entire time, but her hands were already white from her tight grip.

In the car.

Fang Yu's expression was serious as he said, "Be careful about everything on this trip to headquarters, preserve yourself as much as possible since your strength isn't sufficient."

"Don't worry, the Chen Family's Martial Art is well known for its self-preservation strength."

The car sped up, heading west from Yanjing.

...

At the Dark Web Headquarters.

"Boss, according to our people's report, Iron Fist and Chen Daotian have left Yanjing and are heading to the headquarters," a man was kneeling on one knee reporting at the front of the hall.

The man in the mask inside the hall spoke in a deep voice:

"Good! Keep close surveillance on their every move."

"Boss, since Iron Fist has already left the Ye Family, why don't we take this opportunity to take down the Ye Family to force him to comply?"

Hearing this, the masked man sneered:

"Foolish! You think I haven't thought of that?"

"My subordinate is mistaken! Please enlighten me, boss!"

"Get lost—"

This admonishment terrified the subordinate into scrambling away hurriedly.

The boss stared ahead, muttering to himself, "That cultivator hiding in the shadows, who could it be?" He sighed and shook his head, "Dark Forest Law, huh... This person purposely releases the aura of a cultivator, what exactly is his purpose?"

At that moment.

On a rooftop not far from the Ye Family villa.

Lin Weifeng, arms crossed holding his sword, looked sternly at the Ye Family villa...

Expressionless, yet wanting to draw his sword. He hesitated repeatedly.

"Never mind, a gentleman acts according to principles; I will not trouble the Ye Family! The debtor has a face, and a loan has a master. Fang Yu, I will just wait for your return to clear things up!"
