Chapter 386 Guardian!?
Fang Yu never expected that just wandering around Nandu University would lead him to discover the Fire of the Earth’s Core!
This was truly something that could be encountered but not sought after. Over so many years, only a few cultivators had been blessed with such good fortune.
Fang Yu was in a great mood, whistling as he walked.
Ye Shengxue followed silently behind Fang Yu, quietly observing his expression.
She noticed that after coming out from the lake bottom, Fang Yu’s entire demeanor seemed to have become cheerful, even somewhat elated.
This made Ye Shengxue feel a bit strange.
The tiny drop of black liquid that had appeared earlier could instantly tear apart a person’s soul and take over their body.
This was the first time Ye Shengxue had encountered such a terrifying entity.
Just thinking about the existence of such a toxic substance in this world made Ye Shengxue’s heart feel cold.
“Mr. Fang,” Ye Shengxue couldn’t help speaking up as they were about to reach the campus gate.
“Hmm?” Fang Yu turned his head to look at Ye Shengxue.
Due to Ye Shengxue following him, he had been subjected to numerous stares along the way.
Ye Shengxue’s presence was like a magnet, attracting the attention of all passersby.
For Fang Yu, who wanted to keep a low profile, this was obviously not a good thing.
However, Fang Yu was in such a good mood that he didn’t mind too much.
After all, Ye Shengxue deserved some credit for his acquisition of the Fire of the Earth’s Core.
If he hadn’t happened to meet Ye Shengxue and been entangled by her, Fang Yu would have left Nandu University long ago, completely missing the Fire of the Earth’s Core.
“That thing just now… that substance, what was it? Just a tiny drop of it could take over someone’s body…” Speaking of the phantom liquid, Ye Shengxue still felt lingering fear, her face turning slightly pale.
“I can’t explain exactly what it is either. The only thing I can confirm is that it’s a life form,” Fang Yu said.
“A life form…” Ye Shengxue’s face showed shock.
“However, I’ve already burned away the last drop of liquid from its body. Theoretically, it shouldn’t be able to cause trouble anymore, but it’s hard to say whether there are similar entities underground,” Fang Yu said, stretching lazily.
“Underground?” Ye Shengxue’s expression changed slightly.
“This is something I haven’t figured out either,” Fang Yu said as he continued walking forward.
Ye Shengxue stood dazed for a moment before following him again.
The two walked out of the campus gate together.
After walking for a while, Fang Yu suddenly stopped.
Ye Shengxue, who was following behind, was somewhat distracted and almost bumped into him.
“Miss Ye, how long do you plan to follow me?” Fang Yu asked.
“I, I’m just going the same way… my car is right ahead,” Ye Shengxue’s face turned slightly red as she pointed to a stretched luxury car parked by the roadside.
This luxury car was a Bentley, with a market price of over ten million.
Ye Shengxue was only a sophomore student, yet her family provided her with such a luxurious private car, which showed the financial power of the Ye family.
“It’s already past twelve,” Fang Yu said, looking at the time on his phone. “Since that’s the case, why don’t you treat me to a meal? You can also tell me what you wanted to say, and after that, please stop following me.”
Ye Shengxue was stunned, then showed a pleased expression and nodded, “Mr. Fang, please get in my car. I know a nice restaurant.”
…
After Fang Yu got into Ye Shengxue’s private car, they drove away from Nandu University campus to the Songhu District of Nandu.
Songhu District was the most developed area in Nandu after the central district, known for its beautiful environment.
Ye Shengxue’s car finally stopped in front of an exquisitely decorated Japanese restaurant.
The restaurant’s sign was written in Japanese, meaning “Summer Flower.”
“Summer Flower Japanese Restaurant is the best Japanese restaurant in Nandu, rated as a Michelin three-star for ten consecutive years. I’ve been here several times before, and the food is excellent. I hope you’ll like it, Mr. Fang,” Ye Shengxue introduced.
Fang Yu nodded, and they entered the restaurant together.
As soon as they entered, waitresses dressed in kimonos came forward, bowing to Fang Yu and Ye Shengxue.
“Esteemed guests, do you have a reservation?” the waitress asked respectfully.
Ye Shengxue didn’t speak but took out a white card from her handbag.
Upon seeing this card, the waitress’s expression changed, and she bowed even more respectfully, saying, “Esteemed Miss Ye, which floor would you prefer?”
“Just find us a quiet room,” Ye Shengxue replied.
“Certainly, please follow me,” the waitress turned and headed upstairs.
This restaurant had no common dining area; each table of guests sat in a separate room, screened by curtains.
Fang Yu and Ye Shengxue followed the waitress to a room on the left side of the second floor.
“Esteemed Miss Ye, this is our quietest private room. I hope it meets your satisfaction,” the waitress said respectfully.
Ye Shengxue nodded.
Then, looking at the menu, she ordered two main courses.
After the waitress left, Ye Shengxue passed a cup of tea to Fang Yu’s table, smiling, “Mr. Fang, please have some tea.”
Fang Yu picked up the cup and took a sip, looking at Ye Shengxue, “Tell me, what exactly do you want from me?”
Getting to the point, Ye Shengxue’s expression turned serious. She sat up straight, looking directly at Fang Yu, “Mr. Fang, have you heard stories about the Divine Dragon?”
“Of course, everyone in the Nine Provinces Nation should have heard about the Divine Dragon, right?” Fang Yu said.
Ye Shengxue paused, seemingly organizing her thoughts, then leaned slightly forward, “Then do you believe in the existence of the Divine Dragon?”
Fang Yu raised an eyebrow, “Haven’t you already confirmed that I possess the Divine Dragon’s power? Why ask these questions?”
Ye Shengxue shook her head gently, “I did sense the Divine Dragon’s power from you, but only for a moment, then it disappeared.”
“So?” Fang Yu asked, “Don’t you think it might have been a problem with your perception?”
“No, due to my family’s special nature, my sensitivity to the Divine Dragon’s power is extremely acute. I would never make a mistake about this. In that moment, you definitely emitted the aura of the Divine Dragon. This is a certain fact,” Ye Shengxue said with determined eyes.
“Fine, but what does that prove?” Fang Yu said.
“It matters!” Ye Shengxue’s eyes showed excitement, “Our Ye family is the bloodline of the Divine Dragon Guardians! Our family exists for the bloodline of the Divine Dragon!”
“Divine Dragon Guardians…” Fang Yu was somewhat confused by this.
People couldn’t even confirm whether the Divine Dragon existed, so how could there suddenly be a family of Divine Dragon Guardians?
According to ancient books, the last appearance of the Divine Dragon was tens of thousands of years ago.
Ye Shengxue claimed the Ye family were Divine Dragon Guardians. Did that mean the Ye family had a history of over ten thousand years? Longer than the history of the Nine Provinces Nation itself!?
How could that be possible?
No family could possibly be passed down for tens of thousands of years.
If such a family truly existed, why had they remained unknown for so many years?
Even Fang Yu, who had lived for nearly five thousand years, had never heard of them!
Was this girl a bit…
Fang Yu looked at Ye Shengxue with a strange expression.
“Mr. Fang, I know you might find what I’m saying absurd, but it’s the truth. If you’re willing to come back to the Ye family with me… you’ll believe everything I’ve said,” Ye Shengxue said with utmost seriousness.
Fang Yu thought for a moment and asked, “How many years of history does your family have?”
“One thousand two hundred years,” Ye Shengxue answered.
One thousand two hundred years was quite a long history for a family.
The various prestigious families known for their deep heritage today actually only had two or three hundred years of history.
But even if Ye Shengxue wasn’t lying, and the Ye family truly had a history of one thousand two hundred years…
The Divine Dragon had disappeared from the world tens of thousands of years ago!
The so-called guardians, with only one thousand two hundred years of history, fell far short.
And if the Divine Dragon had truly appeared one thousand two hundred years ago and left behind a so-called guardian family, how could Fang Yu not know about it?
Although he had been in a state of decline at that time, he was still aware of major events.
But seeing Ye Shengxue’s serious expression, Fang Yu didn’t directly contradict her.
The Divine Dragon did indeed exist, and Fang Yu had indeed absorbed the Divine Dragon’s essence, possessing its power.
But the so-called Divine Dragon Guardians… seemed very strange.
