Chapter 656: A Good Show!
“He said he couldn’t reach you, so he left a phone number.” Su Lengyun turned around and picked up a sticky note from the coffee table with a series of numbers written on it.
Method Yu took the note and pulled out the phone Jirumei had given him, dialing the number on the paper.
The call connected quickly.
“Is this my benefactor?” Bai Ran asked with delight in his voice.
“Yes, I’m back at the apartment. I need to talk to you about something. If you’re free, please come over,” Method Yu said.
“Sure! I’ll be right there,” Bai Ran replied.
After hanging up, Method Yu sat on the sofa.
Su Lengyun poured a glass of water and handed it to Method Yu, then sat down on the adjacent sofa, staring at his profile with sparkling eyes.
“Brother Yu, have you broken through to a new realm?” Su Lengyun asked.
“Can you tell?” Method Yu raised his eyebrows and asked.
“Yes, I feel your entire aura is different from before,” Su Lengyun nodded and answered.
Method Yu leaned back against the sofa, let out a breath, and said, “I did break through, but it’s hard to say whether it’s a major or minor breakthrough… But since you can notice the change, let’s consider it a major breakthrough.”
“Brother Yu, you said you’re going out soon… where are you going?” Su Lengyun asked.
“To Eastern Capital,” Method Yu said. “To extort something.”
“Extort? Extort what?” Su Lengyun asked with a surprised expression.
“You’ll know soon,” Method Yu smiled and said.
…
About ten minutes later, someone knocked on the door.
Su Lengyun went to open it and saw Bai Ran in a gray robe.
The current Bai Ran looked completely different from his previous disheveled appearance.
His hair and beard were now trimmed, revealing a fairly handsome face.
At the same time, perhaps because his sworn enemy Yi Duanliu was dead and his vengeance fulfilled, the cold and vicious aura he previously emanated had diminished considerably.
“Hello, Mr. Bai,” Su Lengyun greeted him softly.
“Hello,” Bai Ran nodded, then looked toward Method Yu sitting on the living room sofa. With excitement in his eyes, he walked forward.
“Where have you been all this time?”
As soon as Bai Ran approached, Method Yu asked.
“…After Yi Duanliu died, I wanted to send this news back to my family to comfort the spirits of my deceased clan members… so I left Mr. Tang’s home and returned to Central Capital,” Bai Ran said.
“Oh? You’re from Central Capital?” Method Yu asked.
“Yes, benefactor,” Bai Ran answered.
The term ‘benefactor’ was becoming increasingly uncomfortable to hear.
“Just call me Method Yu from now on, no need to keep saying benefactor,” Method Yu said.
“How could I? Benefactor, you saved my life twice. How could I not acknowledge such a debt…” Bai Ran’s expression changed slightly as he spoke.
“Then you can call me Mr. Method, just don’t call me benefactor,” Method Yu waved his hand and said.
“Well… alright, Mr. Method,” Bai Ran said.
After resolving the issue of how to address him, Method Yu said, “What did you want to see me about yesterday?”
“I came to tell you that I’ve finished handling all my personal affairs,” Bai Ran looked at Method Yu with determination in his eyes and said, “From today on, I will wholeheartedly follow in your footsteps to repay you for saving my life twice.”
“Enough, stop mentioning how I saved your life,” Method Yu frowned slightly and said, “You look quite masculine and handsome, why don’t you act more like a man?”
Faced with Method Yu’s assessment, Bai Ran’s expression remained unchanged as he firmly said, “Mr. Method’s kindness to me is something I cannot repay in a lifetime. So I must constantly remind myself…”
“…”
Method Yu realized then that Bai Ran was as stubborn as an iron rod.
Behind them, Su Lengyun witnessed this scene and couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh softly.
“Now, I do have something that requires your assistance,” Method Yu said.
“Please instruct me, Mr. Method! I will do my utmost!” Bai Ran clasped his fist in salute.
“Sit down first, and let me explain the plan to you slowly,” Method Yu said helplessly.
“Alright,” Bai Ran sat down on the sofa opposite Method Yu.
Meanwhile, Su Lengyun also came forward, curious about what Method Yu was planning to do.
…
“Do you understand?” Method Yu took a sip of water and asked Bai Ran.
“Understood!” Bai Ran replied.
“Good, that’s settled then. It’s nine-thirty now… the Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association should be open. Let’s get ready to leave,” Method Yu said.
Beside them, Su Lengyun looked at Bai Ran, then at Method Yu.
Method Yu’s face remained calm.
Although most martial artists had complaints about the Martial Arts Association, these grievances usually remained just verbal!
Even the great martial arts families wouldn’t dare to oppose the Martial Arts Association!
Yet Method Yu’s plan was to literally extort the Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association!
It was hard to imagine what consequences this might bring…
But when it came to Method Yu, Su Lengyun had always trusted and obeyed him unconditionally.
If he was doing this, he must have his reasons and logic.
But this time…
After much hesitation, Su Lengyun finally spoke up: “Brother Yu… are you sure about this?”
“Of course. After I get the key to the Great Sacred Hall, I’ll take you there for a tour,” Method Yu smiled.
“But…” Su Lengyun’s face showed concern.
“I know what you want to say. But the reality is, my relationship with the Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association couldn’t be worse,” Method Yu said. “Guess who the person they’re hunting is?”
Su Lengyun and Bai Ran both shook their heads in confusion.
“The person they’re hunting is called Method Changsheng,” Method Yu smiled faintly and said.
“Method Changsheng… could it be…” Su Lengyun’s expression changed slightly as she looked at Method Yu.
“That’s right, the person they’re hunting is actually me, just disguised,” Method Yu said. “That’s why the plan I just outlined will work—because I’ll be playing myself.”
Su Lengyun stared at Method Yu, bit her lip, and said softly, “Brother Yu, I can help you too.”
“The plan only needs two people. Having more people might lead to unexpected problems, so don’t join in. But you can come with us to Eastern Capital. After Bai Ran and I get the key, we’ll enter the Great Sacred Hall together,” Method Yu said.
“Okay,” Su Lengyun nodded.
She was already happy that she could go to Eastern Capital with them.
“Then let’s depart now,” Method Yu stood up and said.
…
Eastern Capital, at the gate of the Martial Arts Association building.
Two figures appeared in front of the main entrance.
One of them wore a slightly worn white Taoist robe, with an elderly face and white hair and beard, appearing to be around a hundred years old.
The old man’s right hand was gripping the collar of the person beside him, almost dragging the other person toward the building’s entrance.
