Chapter 614 It’s Really You!
“I’m fine, nothing happened,” said Zhao Jidao.
This answer, like a shot of adrenaline, completely reassured the Zhao family members who had been restless and on edge for the past month.
“That’s good to hear. Dad, should we hold a banquet to wash away the bad luck? Our family has encountered too many misfortunes lately,” said Zhao Zuhui, Zhao Jidao’s second son.
“Misfortunes?” Zhao Jidao frowned and asked.
“It’s about big brother’s family… Zinan has problems,” Zhao Zuhui explained what happened half a month ago.
“The Devil Sect?” Hearing this name, Zhao Jidao’s expression slightly changed.
“Dad, don’t you also think it’s dangerous? This is a demonic cultivation sect! They’re powerful and their killing methods are extremely cruel. If not for a master who descended last time to save us, the consequences would have been unimaginable…” said Zhao Zuhui.
“How is Zhao Zinan’s condition?” Zhao Jidao asked after thinking for a moment.
“Dad, Zinan’s condition had reached its worst, but just now…” After much hesitation, Zhao Zuyao finally revealed that He Chenchen was seriously injured and Zhao Zinan was taken away.
“What? Master He was seriously injured!?” Zhao Zuhui and the core members of the Zhao family showed shocked expressions.
“Yes, he’s currently in a coma. We were preparing to send him for treatment…” said Jiang Lan.
“I need to take a look,” Zhao Jidao stood up and said.
So, the core members of the Zhao family walked toward Zhao Zinan’s detached house.
On the way, Zhao Zuyao didn’t mention that Zhao Xuan had trusted an outsider.
After all, Zhao Xuan had done such a foolish thing, and if it were revealed, he as a father would lose face.
“Where is Master He?” Zhao Zuyao asked Zhao Xuan who was sitting on the sofa when they arrived at the house.
Seeing Zhao Jidao and so many family members present, Zhao Xuan’s expression changed, and he immediately stood up and bowed to Zhao Jidao.
“Master He… He Chenchen is right over there,” said Zhao Xuan.
Then, two Zhao family martial artists carried the severely injured He Chenchen into the room.
Seeing He Chenchen’s sunken chest area, everyone’s expressions were shocked.
Who could have beaten Master He, who had once helped their Zhao family, into such a miserable state?
At this moment, He Chenchen had his eyes tightly closed with weak breathing, obviously in an extremely dangerous condition.
Zhao Jidao frowned deeply, stepped forward, and took out a spirit pill from his storage pouch.
This was a small restoration pill that could quickly heal wounds.
Zhao Jidao put the spirit pill into He Chenchen’s mouth and used his true energy to refine it.
At the same time, a strand of black gas seeped from Zhao Jidao’s right hand and entered He Chenchen’s body.
After doing these things, Zhao Jidao put down his hand.
“He still needs to rest for some time before he can barely recover,” said Zhao Jidao. “Since he is our Zhao family’s benefactor, let’s keep him in our Zhao family.”
After speaking, Zhao Jidao waved his hand, signaling the two martial artists to take He Chenchen away.
“Who exactly beat Master He into this state?” The family members asked Zhao Zuyao.
Zhao Zuyao looked at Zhao Xuan, his eyes full of threatening intent, and said, “Zhao Xuan, you witnessed everything. Tell us the truth!”
Zhao Xuan’s face turned pale. He knew what Zhao Zuyao meant—he wanted him to side with He Chenchen and testify against Fang Yu.
“I…” Just as Zhao Xuan was about to speak, Fang Yu and Zhao Zinan’s figures appeared out of thin air in the middle of the hall.
Seeing such a large group of people staring directly at her, Zhao Zinan immediately lowered her head, her face blushing, and retreated behind Fang Yu.
Fang Yu, on the other hand, casually glanced at these people.
“Fang Yu!?” Zhao Jidao’s expression changed, and he stepped back.
He was no longer his former self.
But the fear buried deep within this soul still existed.
“Zhao Jidao…” Fang Yu looked at Zhao Jidao with a slight frown.
His intuition was very keen, and he could see at a glance that the Zhao Jidao before him seemed a bit strange.
Previously, Zhao Xuan had mentioned that Zhao Jidao was taken away by the North Capital Martial Arts Association for investigation due to the Immortal Clan assimilation incident.
From what he could see now, Zhao Jidao indeed hadn’t been assimilated by the Immortal Clan.
But the aura on him was still very odd, different from before.
Fang Yu looked at Zhao Xuan and said, “Your sister is fine now.”
Zhao Xuan had already noticed Zhao Zinan hiding behind Fang Yu, and his anxious heart finally relaxed. He looked at Fang Yu gratefully.
Then, he took a deep breath, turned to Zhao Jidao and said, “Grandfather, that so-called Master He was the one who placed a curse on Zinan! It was Mr. Fang who beat him into serious injury because he…”
“I understand, you don’t need to say more,” Zhao Jidao interrupted Zhao Xuan’s words, looked at Fang Yu, forced a smile on his face, trying to imitate Zhao Jidao’s previous demeanor toward Fang Yu, and said, “Master Fang, you’ve come to the Zhao family without prior notice. We haven’t prepared to entertain you…”
“No preparation needed, then no entertainment necessary,” Fang Yu stared at Zhao Jidao’s face and said.
Zhao Jidao felt his heart sink, and a sense of foreboding emerged.
On the day of the Immortal Clan’s grand ceremony, he wasn’t present at the scene.
But he had heard about what happened that day.
Fang Yu had wiped out the entire Immortal Clan.
After that day, Lord Pan of the North Capital Martial Arts Association issued an order to investigate Fang Yu’s identity, to confirm whether he was related to the Fang Changsheng that Immortal Daokong was looking for.
In Zhao Jidao’s memory, there were many images of Fang Yu.
From these images, it was clear that Fang Yu’s strength was formidable, indeed very similar to the Fang Changsheng who killed Immortal Yuliu in East Capital.
Now, seeing Fang Yu in person was a good opportunity for verification.
However, Fang Yu was truly unfathomable.
Zhao Jidao felt that he had already been seen through.
“Where is He Chenchen? The chairman of Xiangcheng Martial Arts Association is here, so it’s perfect timing. Quickly hand him over to your grandfather and have him locked up,” Fang Yu turned to Zhao Xuan and said.
“Xuan’er has already handed him over to me. I will soon have him face judgment,” Zhao Jidao intercepted and said.
“That’s fine then. I’m leaving,” said Fang Yu.
“Master Fang, won’t you stay a bit longer?” Zhao Jidao tried to detain him.
“I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t stay,” said Fang Yu.
“In that case, I won’t insist. Let me see you out,” said Zhao Jidao.
At this moment, in the entire hall, apart from Fang Yu and Zhao Jidao, no one else spoke.
Some of them had seen Fang Yu before and knew his strength. Those who hadn’t seen him could tell from Zhao Jidao’s respectful attitude toward Fang Yu that they had no place to speak here.
However, even if they knew nothing, they could feel that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
The conversation between Fang Yu and Zhao Jidao sounded normal, but it felt very odd.
“I’m leaving,” Fang Yu said to Zhao Zinan.
“Mm,” Zhao Zinan’s eyes showed reluctance, but she still nodded.
Fang Yu turned and walked outside.
Zhao Jidao followed beside him, smiling as they walked together.
The two walked out of the detached house and onto a small path.
“I’ve been thinking, and I’ll stop pretending and ask directly.”
Fang Yu suddenly stopped and looked at Zhao Jidao, asking, “Who exactly are you?”
Zhao Jidao also stopped, squinting his eyes and said, “Master Fang, I don’t understand what you mean.”
“You can pretend on the surface, but you can’t change your aura,” said Fang Yu. “You’re not Zhao Jidao, or rather, you’re a controlled Zhao Jidao.”
“Master Fang, I really don’t understand what you’re talking about,” Zhao Jidao shook his head.
“Fine.”
Fang Yu nodded, suddenly reached out his hand, grabbed Zhao Jidao’s neck, and lifted him up.
The Zhao family members behind them saw this scene, their expressions changed, and they exclaimed in shock.
“What are you doing!? Put my father down immediately!” Zhao Zuhui shouted.
“Where are the guards!? Quickly call the guards over!” Other family members also shouted.
Fang Yu ignored these people, held Zhao Jidao’s neck with one hand, applied slight force, and asked coldly, “Stop beating around the bush with me. I’ll ask you one last time, who are you?”
Zhao Jidao didn’t struggle, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he said coldly, “Fang Changsheng, it really is you.”
