Chapter 215: Fang Yu’s Request
You need to take the college entrance exam, but I don’t necessarily have to,” Fang Yu glanced at Tang Xiaorou and said.
“You, you don’t even want to take the college entrance exam?” Tang Xiaorou exclaimed in shock.
Fang Yu indeed hadn’t decided whether to take the college entrance exam or not.
Taking the college entrance exam meant going to university.
Over the years, Fang Yu had attended university many times.
Overall, he felt that high school life was more comfortable and relaxed than university life, and it was easier to pass the time.
“With your grades, if you study seriously, you could definitely get into Beijing University… and yet you don’t want to take the college entrance exam?” Tang Xiaorou said with a hint of frustration.
Fang Yu didn’t respond to Tang Xiaorou’s words.
There was an English class in the afternoon.
However, it wasn’t Ding Ran who walked into the classroom, but another male teacher.
Seeing this teacher, Tang Xiaorou remembered something and turned to Fang Yu, saying: “Oh right, Fang Yu, when you were absent last week, Teacher Ding asked about you twice, wondering where you went.”
Seeing no reaction from Fang Yu, Tang Xiaorou continued: “She seemed very anxious at the time, her eyes were a bit red, as if she had just been crying… then I asked her what she wanted to see you about, but she shook her head and said it was nothing.”
“Then this week she took leave, and Teacher Pan from the next class is substituting for our English lessons.”
Fang Yu still had no reaction.
“Fang Yu, I don’t know if Teacher Ding is in some kind of trouble, you…” Tang Xiaorou couldn’t help but ask.
Fang Yu glanced at Tang Xiaorou and said: “I’m not close to her, and I can’t help her.”
The last time in the school cafeteria, Fang Yu had already made it clear to Ding Ran that he wouldn’t help her resolve that marriage issue.
In this world, everyone has their own destiny, and Fang Yu couldn’t help everyone.
Especially Ding Ran’s conduct, which he really disliked.
After school in the afternoon, Fang Yu received a call from Xia Xiaoying to go to the Jiangnan Military Region.
He had completed his commission, winning first place in this year’s military region competition for the Jiangnan Military Region.
Now, it should be time to collect his reward.
When Fang Yu arrived at the military compound, he saw Xia Heguang sitting at a stone table in the courtyard, with Xia Tinghe standing behind him giving him a gentle back massage, while Xia Xiaoying sat nearby typing on a laptop.
“Master Fang, you’re here.” Xia Heguang immediately stood up when he saw Fang Yu.
Fang Yu walked forward and sat down opposite Xia Heguang.
“Master Fang, you left in such a hurry yesterday that I didn’t get a chance to thank you in person.” Xia Heguang said with a smile.
“No need to thank me, we have a cooperative relationship, this was what I was supposed to do.” Fang Yu said.
Xia Heguang shook his head and said: “The original condition was just to compete for a top three position. But Master Fang, you led us to first place. The difference is not small at all.”
Standing behind Xia Heguang, Xia Tinghe secretly observed Fang Yu, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
Fang Yu’s performance on the Long Wei Platform was still deeply imprinted in her mind.
Effortlessly throwing three elite members of the Divine Army team outside the Long Wei Platform, defeating and severely injuring Xiao Chen, making the Divine Army team lower their proud heads and voluntarily admit defeat. Then intimidating their finals opponent the Silver Blade team into forfeiting…
This series of events made Fang Yu’s image completely overlap with the word ‘hero’ in Xia Tinghe’s mind.
“After yesterday’s competition, the name Dao Tian has caused quite a stir in all military regions! My phone has been ringing non-stop.” Xia Heguang smiled.
Fang Yu smiled slightly without saying anything.
The reason he had disguised himself and used the name Dao Tian to compete was precisely to avoid this current situation.
Xia Heguang raised his hand and made a gesture.
A guard walked in from outside the courtyard, holding a wooden box, and placed it in front of Fang Yu.
“Master Fang, there are sixteen demon beast cores inside, which I’ve recently collected.” Xia Heguang said somewhat embarrassedly, “Demon beast cores are really difficult to collect, the remaining thirty or so might take some more time to gather… Master Fang, I hope you’re not in a hurry?”
Fang Yu opened the wooden box and looked at the quality of the demon beast cores inside, slightly frowning.
They were all low-level cores from second or third-rank demon beasts.
And low-level demon beast cores were already useless to him at his current stage.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu said: “How about this, I’ll forgo those remaining thirty-some cores.”
“However, I want you to help me investigate two things.”
Xia Heguang’s expression changed slightly as he said: “Master Fang, what do you want to investigate?”
“First, I want you to look into an organization in Europe called the Gene Laboratory, which specializes in genetic modification research and has a bunch of robots and such… In short, I want to know the specific location of this Gene Laboratory.” Fang Yu said.
Gene Laboratory?
Xia Heguang had never heard of this name, but Xia Xiaoying beside him had an impression of it.
As the head of the intelligence group, she handled a large amount of intelligence daily from all over the world.
And the Gene Laboratory happened to be an organization she had specifically paid attention to.
“This Gene Laboratory is wanted throughout Europe for conducting human modification and experiments that violate laws and ethical morals.”
“For a long time, various European countries have sent spies or special forces to search for the location of the Gene Laboratory, but without results.” Xia Xiaoying looked at Fang Yu with slightly furrowed brows and said, “If so many European countries couldn’t find it despite searching, you want us to help you…”
“I’m not asking you to definitely find it, mainly just help me keep an eye out, and let me know if there’s any intelligence about the Gene Laboratory.” Fang Yu said.
The Gene Laboratory might possess a spiritual vein, which was what Fang Yu cared about most.
If he could find another spiritual vein and absorb it… reaching ten thousand layers of Qi Refinement might be possible.
“That’s no problem.” Xia Heguang agreed.
“Second, I want you to help me look out across all of China for anyone else who has mastered the Purple Flame technique like Xiao Chen.” Fang Yu said with coldness in his eyes.
“Purple Flame technique…” Xia Heguang was stunned.
“It’s the purple flames that surround the body.” Fang Yu looked at Xia Tinghe and said, “Like in that video you showed me before, the technique Xiao Chen used.”
Anyone who was present had a deep impression of the purple flames.
“Mr. Fang, as far as I know, that technique is Xiao Chen’s trump card, and might be a secret technique that isn’t passed on. Why would you think others have mastered the same…” Xia Heguang frowned.
“There definitely are others, help me keep watch, and notify me as soon as there’s any news.” Fang Yu said.
This wasn’t particularly difficult, so Xia Heguang immediately agreed: “No problem.”
“That’s good then.” Fang Yu said as he stood up.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Xia Xiaoying, asking: “Do you know what the Order Keepers are?”
Order Keepers!?
Hearing this term, both Xia Xiaoying and Xia Heguang’s expressions changed.
Xia Xiaoying opened her beautiful eyes wide and asked: “They’ve contacted you?”
“Yes, this morning when I woke up, I saw a man and woman sitting on the sofa in my living room.” Fang Yu said.
“What did they say to you?” Xia Xiaoying asked again.
“Nothing much, just told me to follow the rules… I just want to know, what kind of organization are the Order Keepers? They don’t seem to be martial artists?” Fang Yu asked.
Xia Xiaoying frowned deeply and said: “The Order Keepers are the group I mentioned to you before.”
“They are an organization, independent of all other institutions.”
“Their purpose for existing is to maintain balance between the martial arts world and the secular world… Simply put, they exist to restrain martial artists.”
“The Martial Arts Association has similar functions, but it’s just a public institution. The Order Keepers operate from the shadows.”
“Almost no one knows about the Order Keepers organization except those who have been contacted by them.”
“And those who have been contacted by the Order Keepers have almost all vanished from the world afterward…”
“These people were all martial artists who seriously violated the rules. From what I understand, among the martial artists disciplined by the Order Keepers, the strongest one had reached the Martial Saint realm…”
Xia Xiaoying looked at Fang Yu as she spoke.
“If they’ve already contacted you, you need to be careful.”
“Are these people that strong?” Fang Yu was somewhat surprised and said.
The Martial Saint realm was equivalent to the Yuan Ying stage cultivator, not weak in strength.
Yet the man and woman he saw this morning didn’t even have any cultivation aura, so how could they discipline Yuan Ying stage cultivators?
This was what Fang Yu was most curious about.
“Do you know how these people discipline martial artists?” Fang Yu asked.
Xia Xiaoying shook her head and said: “What I know is just hearsay, there’s no reliable intelligence. I’ve never seen the Order Keepers either, let alone know how they work.”
