Chapter 842 My House Is a Bit Big!
Today’s events were a huge blow to Tang Xiaorou.
If she had known earlier what kind of person He Xiaolu was, she would never have agreed to meet this so-called distant cousin.
This time at the Yulan Pavilion club, she truly experienced what it means to feel disgusted and desperate.
Is it really possible to do whatever you want just because your family background is stronger than someone else’s?
This was something Tang Xiaorou had never believed before.
But after today, she believed it.
If she hadn’t begged Fang Yu to come along today, what might have happened afterward… she couldn’t imagine.
“You can cry, but don’t get your snot and saliva on my clothes.”
After Tang Xiaorou had been crying for a while, Fang Yu said.
Tang Xiaorou raised her head, looking at Fang Yu with her reddened eyes, sobbing and saying irritably: “Fang Yu, can’t you say something nice!?”
“I’m not good at comforting people,” Fang Yu replied.
These words were Fang Yu’s honest truth.
Having lived for so many years, he indeed had a deep understanding of human nature.
But precisely because of this, some words, once spoken, would make him feel strange. Over time, he became unable to say them.
“The way you are, you’ll end up alone forever!” Tang Xiaorou rubbed her eyes and said.
“Ending up alone is the norm. Couples who die at the exact same moment must be extremely rare, right?” Fang Yu countered.
“I, I’m not talking to you anymore!” Tang Xiaorou turned her face away in anger.
“Looks like you’re done being sad, so I’ll be going now.” Fang Yu turned around and walked forward.
“…Wait for me!” Tang Xiaorou hurriedly followed.
…
Fang Yu and Tang Xiaorou walked along the sidewalk, gradually returning to the bustling central district.
The central district of Beidu wasn’t all skyscrapers; many buildings were ancient structures with long histories.
Although Tang Xiaorou had visited Beidu several times before, she usually only went to famous tourist attractions and rarely walked along the streets.
For her, this was the first time experiencing Beidu’s streets up close and feeling its cultural atmosphere.
As they walked, the gloom and depression in her heart completely dissipated.
“Fang Yu, where are we going?” Tang Xiaorou looked at Fang Yu beside her and asked.
“How would I know about you?” Fang Yu raised his eyebrows and asked.
“Where are you going? I’ll follow you,” Tang Xiaorou said.
“I’m going home,” Fang Yu said. “But from here to my home is about an hour’s walk. It’s quite far. I suggest you take a taxi back to your hotel.”
“No, I want to follow you. I want to see what your current home is like…” Tang Xiaorou said, suddenly remembering something from before.
Back in Jianghai City, when she followed Fang Yu home to get medicine… at that time, Fang Yu seemed to have mentioned that he had a luxurious residence in Beidu, Beidu 101.
“Beidu 101!” Tang Xiaorou looked at Fang Yu with wide eyes and said.
“What is it?” Fang Yu asked.
“You mentioned it to me before! I thought you were joking at the time. Your home isn’t really there, is it!?” Tang Xiaorou asked.
“…Yes.” Fang Yu nodded.
“Then I definitely have to follow you home!” Tang Xiaorou said excitedly.
Forty minutes later, Fang Yu brought Tang Xiaorou to Beidu 101.
“Beidu 101… is this mansion!?” Tang Xiaorou looked at the two huge stone gates, her beautiful eyes wide open in disbelief.
The high walls on either side of the stone gates extended for hundreds of meters, so far that the end couldn’t be seen.
This also represented the terrifying size of the mansion’s grounds.
“Fang Yu, you’re joking, right? How could this be a private residence…” Tang Xiaorou looked at Fang Yu beside her and said.
Fang Yu’s expression remained unchanged as he walked toward the stone gates.
Tang Xiaorou was stunned for a moment, then bit her red lips lightly and followed.
“Rumble…”
As Fang Yu approached the gates, the two stone doors emitted a deep rumbling sound.
Then, they slowly opened…
The scene inside the mansion gradually came into view.
Tang Xiaorou stood frozen, not knowing how to react.
When Fang Yu had mentioned Beidu 101 before, she thought he was purely boasting and didn’t take it seriously.
But now… the truth was right before her eyes.
“Come in,” Fang Yu said.
Tang Xiaorou came to her senses and walked forward.
After entering the gates, the two stone doors automatically closed behind them.
“My home is quite large. If you want a tour, I’ll have my servant take you around,” Fang Yu said.
“I, I…” Tang Xiaorou looked at the vast grassland before her, the small streams visible everywhere, and the fresh air permeating the surroundings, momentarily at a loss for words.
But one thing was certain: as soon as she entered this mansion, her mood immediately improved.
The air in this place seemed to contain some kind of molecule that made one feel carefree and was extremely comfortable.
“You seem very curious, so I’ll have someone take you on a tour,” Fang Yu said, raising his hand. “Little Wind Chime, take her on a tour of the entire mansion.”
“Hmph!”
A dissatisfied cold snort came from the air.
While Tang Xiaorou was still in a daze, she suddenly felt her body lighten. With a small cry, she rose into the air.
Fang Yu, with his hands behind his back, leisurely walked forward.
…
At the Order Keepers’ Headquarters.
After handling some affairs, Tianchen returned to his private study, which also served as his rest area.
After sitting in the study for a while, thinking about what he needed to do soon, he sighed.
Then, he raised his right hand and lightly touched the air.
“Zing!”
A faint light appeared in the air.
“Grand Mage Tianchen, please give your instructions,” a male voice came from within the light.
“Did you complete the task of gathering fifty mages ranked five stars or above that I asked for earlier?” Tianchen asked.
“I sincerely apologize, Grand Mage Tianchen. Currently, only thirty-two have been gathered, still short of eighteen…” the other person said.
“Why? I’ve already given you many days,” Tianchen frowned.
“A considerable number of five-star mages are still handling other matters and cannot get away at the moment. Please understand, Grand Mage Tianchen,” the other person said.
Tianchen thought for a moment and said, “Thirty-two will do. Bring them here. I will lead them personally.”
“Understood,” the other person replied.
After speaking, Tianchen waved his right hand, and the light in the air dissipated.
“Thirty-two should be enough. He only asked me for thirty originally, so we’re already exceeding the requirement by two. That counts as over-delivering,” Tianchen muttered, stroking his chin.
In reality, gathering a group of elites wasn’t difficult for him.
But sending these elites to serve under Huaixu, and personally apologizing to Huaixu, was very difficult.
His relationship with Huaixu had always been hostile, and because of that incident back then, they had become like fire and water.
He had sworn that he would never have any communication with Huaixu again.
But now, he had to apologize to him… he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
Yet when he thought about Fang Yu’s terrifying power… his heart sank.
If he went back on his word and Fang Yu came looking for him again, the entire Order Keepers’ Headquarters would be demolished!
After an internal struggle, Tianchen let out a long sigh and stood up.
“How did that old fellow Huaixu come to know such a powerful being?” Tianchen thought.
Five minutes later, Tianchen left the Order Keepers’ Headquarters and appeared at the entrance.
Thirty-two five-star mages were already waiting there in formation.
“Grand Mage Tianchen, I have called all the five-star mages that could be gathered, as per your request,” a middle-aged man stepped forward and bowed.
“Good, let’s depart for the temporary hall of the Beidu Martial Arts Association,” Tianchen said.
“Lord Tianchen, I will accompany you.”
At this moment, a voice came from behind.
“Grand Mage Shangqing.”
All the five-star mages called out in unison.
Shangqing smiled slightly at them, then looked at Tianchen and said, “Lord Tianchen, let me accompany you on this trip. I’ve always had a good relationship with Lord Huaixu.”
“Good,” Tianchen agreed without hesitation.
With Shangqing present, at least the awkwardness could be eased.
“Let’s go,” Tianchen waved his hand, and cloud-like white mist appeared beneath the feet of everyone in the group.
“Whoosh!”
The next second, the thirty-two five-star mages, along with Tianchen and Shangqing, flew into the air, leaving the Order Keepers’ Headquarters behind.
