Chapter 246: A Mission
South City is the most developed city in Huaibei, serving as its economic and educational center.
Fang Yu had visited South City several times before, but that was a long time ago.
The last time he came was perhaps decades ago.
The current South City is completely different from what it was back then.
Outside the high-speed rail station is a commercial center district.
It was noon time, and Fang Yu casually walked into a restaurant to have lunch.
After ordering, Fang Yu sat in his seat, deep in thought.
His visit to South City this time wasn’t just to find that Purple Flame Palace successor.
Besides that, he planned to find a place to live here.
He had stayed in Jiangnan for three years, and it was time for a change of environment.
Moreover, compared to Jiangnan, the martial arts world in Huaibei was clearly at a higher level.
In this place, Fang Yu would have more opportunities to encounter information about spirit veins and high-level monster beast cores.
“Huaibei… right.” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered as he remembered someone.
…
Liu Liansha was driving a BMW, waiting at a traffic light.
She was in a good mood, almost wanting to whistle.
Soon, she would be executing a mission.
The payment for this mission was unprecedentedly high, enough for her to live lavishly for half a lifetime.
After completing this mission, Liu Liansha decided to temporarily retire from the mercenary world, only returning when the money ran out!
This mission wasn’t particularly difficult.
It was just stealing a ring from someone.
The only risk was that this person might have bodyguards.
However, according to the client’s intelligence, this person was just an ordinary person who had never practiced martial arts.
For an ordinary person, even if they had bodyguards, the bodyguards’ strength shouldn’t be too formidable.
Thinking about the happy life after getting that payment, Liu Liansha’s beautiful and alluring face broke into a smile.
“I need your help with something.”
Just then, a voice suddenly echoed in her mind.
Liu Liansha, who hadn’t heard this voice for a long time, was so startled she almost screamed.
After a while, she realized the voice belonged to Fang Yu.
Since their last meeting, Liu Liansha’s impression of Fang Yu had worsened.
This man actually had an unclear relationship with her master Su Lengyun!
Just thinking about it made her very uncomfortable!
In Liu Liansha’s heart, Master Su Lengyun had always been like an immortal, a supreme being who couldn’t be defiled!
However, since meeting Fang Yu, this image was shattered.
Su Lengyun was actually so obedient in front of Fang Yu!
Moreover, after returning to Frost Cold Palace from Jianghai City, Su Lengyun often took out an ordinary longbow to examine carefully.
When Liu Liansha asked her what was special about this bow?
“This is a gift from Brother Yu,” Su Lengyun said with a gentle smile on her face.
Hearing this answer and seeing that happy expression, Liu Liansha was completely devastated.
Her master… had probably truly fallen for him!
“…What do you want?” Liu Liansha asked mentally.
“It would be better to talk in person, where are you now?” Fang Yu asked.
“I’m in South City, Huaibei, I can’t meet you…” Liu Liansha was about to refuse.
“That’s perfect, I’m also in South City, Huaibei, at the restaurant in Zhentian Building first floor, come find me now.” Fang Yu said.
“You, why are you in South City!?” Liu Liansha exclaimed.
“Here for some business, come quickly.” Fang Yu said.
“I can’t come! I have other things to do!” Liu Liansha said.
Fang Yu didn’t respond anymore.
Liu Liansha angrily hit the steering wheel, her previously good mood completely ruined by Fang Yu’s sudden appearance.
“Why did Fang Yu suddenly come to South City!?” Liu Liansha gritted her teeth in anger.
What angered her most was that no matter how unwilling she was, she didn’t dare disobey Fang Yu’s words!
She absolutely didn’t want to experience the pain of having her soul torn apart again!
…
When Liu Liansha found Fang Yu, he was lowering his head eating a steak.
Liu Liansha, who had attracted countless gazes along the way, sat down opposite Fang Yu.
This made many men watching her sigh in their hearts.
Such a beautiful woman actually had a boyfriend, what a pity!
Liu Liansha crossed her arms, looked at Fang Yu with a stern face, and said coldly: “What do you want! Say it quickly, I’m very busy.”
Fang Yu raised his head and gave Liu Liansha a calm look.
Just this one look made Liu Liansha lose all her momentum and deflate.
“Fang Yu… what did you want to see me for?” Liu Liansha’s tone immediately softened.
“I want you to help me find someone in South City, or rather within Huaibei’s region.” Fang Yu said while wiping his mouth with a napkin.
“Who?” Liu Liansha asked.
Fang Yu took out his phone, opened the surveillance video about the Purple Flame Palace successor that Xia Xiaoying had sent him, and showed it to Liu Liansha.
“This person who can use purple flames has killed thirty-four people in various locations around South City in the past two months, the victims’ bodies were all burned black as charcoal.”
“Help me find this person.” Fang Yu said.
Liu Liansha watched for a while, then looked up and said: “This video is so blurry, you can barely see the figure, how can I find them?”
“Indeed it’s not easy to find, otherwise I wouldn’t have asked for your help. This person has some distinct characteristics though – they’re a martial artist with at least master level cultivation and can use purple flame techniques.” Fang Yu said.
“Fine, I’ll keep an eye out.” Liu Liansha couldn’t refuse.
“Also, I want to find a place to live in South City, do you have any good recommendations?” Fang Yu asked.
“You want to live in South City long-term?” Liu Liansha’s expression changed.
“Yes, what’s wrong?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
Liu Liansha almost wanted to cry.
To her, Fang Yu was like a nightmare.
And South City was her main area of activity, if Fang Yu lived here permanently, would she have any freedom left? He would definitely work her like an ox!
“I don’t have any recommendations, and I don’t suggest you live in South City, the rent is very expensive here…” Liu Liansha found an excuse to say.
“Money isn’t an issue.” Fang Yu said.
“I… don’t know much about these things.” Liu Liansha said.
“Alright then, I’ll look myself.” Fang Yu said.
Liu Liansha looked at the time, her expression changed slightly, and said: “I still have a mission to do, so I’ll leave now.”
After standing up, she looked at Fang Yu in front of her, and suddenly had an idea.
For her upcoming mission, she didn’t want to take any risks, she just wanted to securely get that huge payment.
The Fang Yu in front of her could help eliminate those risks.
“You don’t have anything else to do right now?” Liu Liansha blinked her alluring eyes and asked.
“No.” Fang Yu took a sip of ice water and said.
“Then could you help me complete a mission, it’s a very simple mission.” Liu Liansha’s beautiful eyes flickered as she asked.
“If you can help me find a free place to live, I’ll agree to help you, it’s a fair trade.” Fang Yu said calmly.
“…Deal.” Liu Liansha’s expression froze for a moment before agreeing.
…
Fang Yu got into Liu Liansha’s BMW and they drove towards their destination.
“Where are we going?” Fang Yu asked.
“To South City Hotel, to attend a banquet. My target is one of the people at the banquet.” Liu Liansha answered.
“What’s your mission? To kill him?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
“No, I just need to get a ring from him.” Liu Liansha glanced at Fang Yu and said, “I asked for your help to deal with his bodyguards… if he has any.”
“That’s all?” Fang Yu asked.
“Yes, that’s all.” Liu Liansha answered.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a luxuriously decorated hotel.
South City Hotel.
Though the name was simple, it was South City’s most famous and high-end Chinese restaurant.
Huaibei’s celebrities would choose this place for various banquets.
Today, there was clearly a banquet being held here.
A red carpet was laid out from the parking lot entrance.
Liu Liansha was wearing a dark blue evening gown today, which was suitable for attending banquets.
Fang Yu’s attire, however, stood out as inappropriate, just a simple shirt and pants.
When they reached the hotel entrance, Liu Liansha presented an invitation card, and they walked in together.
