Chapter 374: The One Who Searches in Vain

Fang Yu looked at Ye Shengxue in front of him, his brows slightly furrowed, and said, “What do you mean by that?”

“You…” Ye Shengxue glanced at the people beside her and said, “Can I talk to Mr. Fang alone?”

Luo Xi felt a bit uncomfortable but still nodded, taking Ling’er’s hand and walking aside.

Ye Shengxue turned her gaze to Ye Shenglong, who was still standing nearby.

Ye Shenglong finally reacted and asked, “Do I need to leave too?”

“Yes.” Ye Shengxue replied affirmatively.

“But… alright.” Ye Shenglong glanced at Fang Yu with some unease before turning to leave.

Only Ye Shengxue and Fang Yu remained.

“Just say what you need to say.” Fang Yu said in a calm tone.

Ye Shengxue walked to Fang Yu’s side, her hands clasped behind her back, and whispered, “Mr. Fang, you possess the power of the Divine Dragon, right?”

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu’s eyes shifted slightly, and he turned to look at Ye Shengxue.

A faint smile appeared on Ye Shengxue’s delicate face.

“Your reaction tells me that this is indeed the case.”

“That’s right, so what?” Fang Yu asked.

Ye Shengxue frowned slightly, seemingly pondering how to phrase her words.

After a moment, her brow relaxed, and she softly said, “Mr. Fang, would you be willing to help me with a favor?”

“I don’t know you, why should I help you?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and countered.

Ye Shengxue was taken aback, then smiled, “You’re right, so… we can make a deal.”

“No matter what request you have, our Ye family will do our best to fulfill it.”

“And all we need from you, Mr. Fang, is to demonstrate your Divine Dragon power, so we can…”

Before Ye Shengxue could finish her sentence, Fang Yu’s phone in his pocket vibrated.

It was a call from Liu Liansha.

“Fang Yu, Ling’er and her senior sister have returned to the apartment. Where are you and Ling’er?” Liu Liansha asked.

“Just finished dinner, taking a walk outside.” Fang Yu replied.

“Linger’s senior sister is anxious to see her, hurry and bring her back!” Liu Liansha urged.

“Okay.” Fang Yu glanced at Ye Shengxue and hung up the phone.

“Mr. Fang…” Ye Shengxue wanted to continue speaking.

“I have something to attend to, so I’ll be leaving. As for the deal you mentioned, I’m not really interested because I don’t want anything.” With that, Fang Yu walked away.

Ye Shengxue did not try to stop him but quietly watched as he left.

In front of Fang Yu, Ling’er said, “Senior sister is here, let’s go back.”

“Senior sister is here!?” Ling’er exclaimed joyfully, running a few steps to Fang Yu and turning to Luo Xi, saying, “Sister Luo Xi, I’m going back now.”

“Alright, see you next time.” Luo Xi smiled beautifully and waved gently at Ling’er.

Luo Xi looked back at Fang Yu but found he had already turned to leave.

“He’s really a blockhead! But somehow, that makes him even more attractive.”

Luo Xi stared at Fang Yu’s departing figure, her beautiful eyes shimmering as she thought.

On the other side, Ye Shenglong saw Fang Yu leave and immediately walked back to Ye Shengxue.

“How did it go?” Ye Shenglong asked.

Ye Shengxue shook her head and remained silent.

The conversation between the two was so brief that Ye Shenglong knew it had likely ended in failure.

“This kid is quite arrogant; I really want to teach him a lesson.” Ye Shenglong said angrily.

“Brother, you’re almost thirty; can’t you be a bit more mature?” Ye Shengxue frowned slightly and said.

Ye Shenglong was taken aback by her words, his face reddening as he replied, “I-I’m not immature! I just find this Fang Yu unpleasant! Besides, your feeling only lasted for a moment; who knows if he really has the power of the Divine Dragon!”

“In my opinion, you’re just mistaken! The Divine Dragon went extinct over ten thousand years ago; how could someone with the power of the Divine Dragon be so easy to find?”

“If it were that easy to encounter one at a casual gathering, it would be worthless. Our Ye family has been searching for generations; how could it be found so easily…”

Ye Shenglong rambled on, while Ye Shengxue’s gaze remained resolutely determined.

She believed in her feelings, even if it was just for a moment.

Fang Yu absolutely contained the power of the Divine Dragon!

Fang Yu was the person the Ye family had been desperately searching for!

…

Fang Yu returned to the apartment with Ling’er.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Liu Liansha and Jiang Ruolan sitting on the sofa, with Jiang Ruolan slowly sipping a cup of plain water.

“Senior sister!”

Ling’er exclaimed joyfully, running up to Jiang Ruolan and hugging her tightly.

Seeing Ling’er safe and sound, Jiang Ruolan also breathed a sigh of relief, embracing Ling’er with a comforting smile.

However, upon seeing Fang Yu enter, Jiang Ruolan’s expression turned puzzled.

“Senior sister, Daotian’s real name is Fang Yu; this is his true appearance. The one you saw before was his disguised form,” Ling’er explained.

“Fang Yu…” Jiang Ruolan felt like she had heard this name somewhere but couldn’t recall where.

Looking at Fang Yu in front of her, Jiang Ruolan’s eyes were filled with surprise.

She hadn’t expected the powerful Daotian to look so young, appearing to be under twenty, walking alongside Ling’er like a pair of siblings.

“Senior sister, where’s Master? Why didn’t she come with you?” Ling’er suddenly realized and asked.

“Master… was injured a bit, so I took her to the hospital for treatment,” Jiang Ruolan replied.

“Is it serious?” Ling’er’s expression changed as she asked.

“Don’t worry, it’s not too serious; she should recover after a few days of rest,” Jiang Ruolan gently stroked Ling’er’s hair and said.

Fang Yu walked to the sofa and sat down next to Liu Liansha.

Liu Liansha glanced at Fang Yu and asked, “How did you get back to Nandu so quickly? It takes at least three hours by high-speed train…”

“I told you, you wouldn’t understand,” Fang Yu replied.

“You! Forget it, I won’t argue with you. I need to take off my makeup; it’s been a whole day with this ugly face, it’s unbearable!” Liu Liansha stood up and walked toward the bathroom.

Jiang Ruolan looked at Fang Yu, her eyes still filled with shock.

The masked demon that had instilled fear in all the martial artists present was easily dealt with by Fang Yu.

Throughout that process, the demon seemed to have no power to fight back.

So strong.

But such a powerful person was so young and lived in a luxurious apartment in a bustling city.

This didn’t quite match Jiang Ruolan’s image of a strong person.

Someone of Fang Yu’s caliber should be living in the deep mountains, with white hair and an ethereal presence, rarely seen in the world, and when they do appear, it causes a sensation.

“Do you have any questions?” Fang Yu looked at Jiang Ruolan and asked.

“No, nothing.” Jiang Ruolan quickly averted her gaze, not daring to look at Fang Yu again.

After learning about Fang Yu’s strength, she could no longer treat him as casually as before.

Such a powerful being should receive the utmost respect wherever they go.

“Did anything happen after I left? Was there any news from the Flame Mountain Range?” Fang Yu leaned back on the sofa and asked.

“…Nothing major happened. Some martial artists tried to climb the volcano and found that the pressure that used to exist around the volcano had disappeared… After realizing this, they believed the inheritance on the volcano had been taken away, and then they left,” Jiang Ruolan said.

“Mm.” Fang Yu nodded, his brow slightly furrowed.

He thought of someone.

Chen Luo.

Before Fang Yu entered the small world of the Wuji Daoist, Chen Luo was still engaged in a battle with the demon path, vying for the opportunity to enter the small world.

By the time Fang Yu left the small world and came out to confront the demon path, Chen Luo had already vanished.

Did he run away?

Fang Yu’s eyes shifted.

Chen Luo intrigued Fang Yu.

There was a strange aura about him.

It was hard to articulate what was strange, but there was an inexplicable yet obvious oddity.

At the top of the seventh volcano, when he fought Chen Luo, Fang Yu had wanted to force out all of Chen Luo’s trump cards to see what he had up his sleeve.

But during that encounter, aside from those two rings and the power of the undead, Chen Luo didn’t reveal much that could indicate his identity or abilities.

Later, when Chen Luo fought the masked man, Fang Yu had been quietly observing but still didn’t discover much.

The only thing he could be sure of was that Chen Luo was definitely not as young as he appeared.

His true strength far exceeded that of an average Martial Venerable, nearing the Martial Saint realm.
