Chapter 905 The Shock of the Sky-Peeping Bureau
Seeing that Lin Zhilan didn’t give him any face, Lin Zhengxiong’s anger flared up.
As a father and the head of the family, how could he swallow this insult!
But at this moment, he caught He Ziying’s gaze.
Thinking about how the upcoming matter required Lin Zhilan’s consent to proceed, he took another deep breath and forcibly suppressed his anger.
“You… don’t rush! I was about to discuss something important!” Lin Zhengxiong said, restraining his anger.
Lin Zhilan stopped and looked at Lin Zhengxiong.
“I want you to meet Fang Yu,” Lin Zhengxiong said.
Hearing this, Lin Zhilan’s frown deepened.
“Why should I meet him?” Lin Zhilan asked.
“Becoming friends with him would be extremely significant for you,” Lin Zhengxiong said.
“In what way would it be significant?” Lin Zhilan pressed.
Lin Zhengxiong’s expression froze, and for a moment he didn’t know how to explain.
In fact, his reason for wanting Lin Zhilan to meet Fang Yu was simply to establish a good relationship.
Although Lin Zhilan had a difficult personality, among the younger generation of women in the Lin family, she was top-tier in both appearance and talent.
Ever since hearing that Fang Yu was young and handsome, Lin Zhengxiong had been scheming.
Now that the Wang family was declining, the Lin family only needed to seize the opportunity to rise to the top.
There were many ways to reach the top, and the easiest one… was to establish a good relationship with Fang Yu.
Lin Zhengxiong wanted to use Lin Zhilan to connect with Fang Yu… thereby allowing the Lin family to overshadow other prominent families and become the new number one family.
But his daughter’s personality gave him a headache.
“I’m not interested.”
Seeing that Lin Zhengxiong couldn’t answer, Lin Zhilan turned to leave.
“Hey, Zhilan.” At this moment, He Ziying pulled Lin Zhilan back, rolled her eyes thoughtfully, and said, “Your father is clumsy with words and can’t express himself… Let me tell you, he wants you to meet this Fang Yu… because Fang Yu’s swordsmanship is extremely exquisite.”
“The Wang family was defeated by his swordsmanship…”
“Your father wants you to meet Fang Yu so you can exchange insights on swordsmanship, helping you advance your skills further.”
Hearing these words, Lin Zhilan’s expression finally changed.
He Ziying glanced at Lin Zhengxiong with a smug look.
As a mother, she understood Lin Zhilan’s personality too well.
She was simply a sword fanatic.
Apart from swordsmanship, Lin Zhilan cared about nothing else.
Therefore, to spark her interest, they had to forcibly connect Fang Yu with swordsmanship.
“How can I meet him?” Lin Zhilan asked, looking at Lin Zhengxiong.
Hearing this question, Lin Zhengxiong glanced at He Ziying, a smile appearing on his face.
“I have my ways to contact him. I’ll tell you the exact time later. I called you here today just to ask about your attitude,” Lin Zhengxiong said.
“Notify me when you find him,” Lin Zhilan said coldly, turning and walking out of the study.
…
Qi family.
Qi Hongshan stood on the terrace, gazing at the large lake in the distance.
“Dad, what did you want to see me about?” Qi Ruoqing asked, standing behind Qi Hongshan.
“I heard you snuck out of the house yesterday. What were you doing?” Qi Hongshan turned to look at Qi Ruoqing.
Qi Ruoqing’s expression changed as she said, “I, I just went out for a walk.”
“Having personally experienced that battle, your emotions probably haven’t settled down yet, right?” Qi Hongshan said with a knowing smile.
Looking at Qi Hongshan’s expression, Qi Ruoqing knew… her father knew everything.
Yesterday, despite Qi Hongshan’s warnings, she had secretly slipped out of the Qi family home to watch the confrontation between Fang Yu and Wang Shuangfan… now, she had been found out.
But at this point, there was no use in trying to deny it.
“Yes, I went to watch the confrontation between Fang Yu and Wang Shuangfan yesterday,” Qi Ruoqing admitted quietly, lowering her head.
“Raise your head,” Qi Hongshan said, patting Qi Ruoqing’s shoulder.
Qi Ruoqing was startled, raising her head to look at her father.
Expecting criticism and punishment, she was surprised to find Qi Hongshan smiling.
“Dad, you…” Qi Ruoqing’s beautiful eyes widened, wanting to say something.
“Since you went to watch Fang Yu’s confrontation yesterday, did you have any interaction with him?” Qi Hongshan asked with a smile.
“…” Qi Ruoqing recalled yesterday’s scene.
She had rushed to the Wang family with Huai Xu, expecting to find Fang Yu in trouble, only to see him receiving kowtows from the core members of the Wang family.
This scene had deeply shocked Qi Ruoqing.
Afterward, Fang Yu and Huai Xu wanted to leave.
Before leaving, Huai Xu said something to Fang Yu, who turned to look at Qi Ruoqing and said with a smile: “It seems you still don’t have much confidence in my abilities.”
After saying this, he even ruffled Qi Ruoqing’s hair before leaving…
Remembering this moment, Qi Ruoqing’s cheeks turned slightly red.
“Yes, we had a brief interaction,” Qi Ruoqing answered softly.
Seeing Qi Ruoqing’s sudden change in expression, Qi Hongshan narrowed his eyes and smiled, “Qing’er, do you… like Fang Yu?”
Hearing this, Qi Ruoqing’s body jolted, her cheeks burning as she stepped back.
“I, I… he saved my life, I just…” Qi Ruoqing stammered, her face and ears red.
Seeing his daughter’s reaction, Qi Hongshan understood most of what was happening.
After all, he had been young once too.
This being the case… there was even more opportunity.
Qi Hongshan stepped forward and smiled, “Qing’er, your father has a task for you…”
…
Kuitian Bureau, inner courtyard.
“Elder Bai, after yesterday’s incident… can we now conclude who the person with half a name on the Tongtian Stele is?” the bald elder said, standing beside Bai Konggu.
Both of them looked up at the Tongtian Stele before them.
Bai Konggu didn’t answer, just staring at the half-name.
A character for “Fang,” followed by a small dot, clearly showing that someone had just begun to carve the next character but suddenly stopped for some reason.
“The person who crushed the Wang family yesterday is named Fang Yu,” the bald elder continued. “Look at this dot, if it were part of the character for ‘Yu,’ it would make sense.”
Bai Konggu frowned deeply, stroking his white beard, still not speaking.
In reality, speculating about how the character might be completed was meaningless.
The small dot after the “Fang” character could be part of any character, as it was just a tiny dot.
But yesterday’s Fang Yu… had done something that shocked all of Yan Xia, which was worth considering.
The ability to crush the Wang family certainly exceeded the Heavenly Rank.
Some on the Saint Rank might be able to accomplish the same feat, but the process wouldn’t be so effortless.
So… Fang Yu’s strength could be considered above the Saint Rank.
This would exclude him from the outer Godly Rank, Heavenly Rank, and Saint Rank.
In other words, Fang Yu’s name should appear on one of the three ranking lists in the inner courtyard.
And the other two lists didn’t have Fang Yu’s name.
On the Tongtian Stele, there was a character for “Fang.”
Looking at it this way, this name… could very well be Fang Yu.
Bai Konggu thought for a moment, then turned to the bald elder and said, “Find a way to invite Fang Yu to the Kuitian Bureau. I want to meet him.”
“That won’t be easy to arrange…” the bald elder said.
“Give him some incentive, and we can attract him here,” Bai Konggu said.
“Incentive? If he truly is the half-name on the Tongtian Stele, what kind of incentive could possibly attract him?” the bald elder asked, eyes wide.
“Don’t worry about that, just do as I say,” Bai Konggu frowned.
“Big news! Big news! Is Elder Bai here?!”
As the two were talking, an urgent voice came from outside.
A corpulent man rushed in from outside, panting heavily and sweating profusely.
“I’ve said many times before, no matter what happens, don’t run in the inner courtyard, especially someone of your weight,” Bai Konggu scolded.
“I’m sorry, Elder Bai… I was too anxious,” the man said, catching his breath as he approached Bai Konggu.
“What happened?” Bai Konggu asked.
“Yesterday… didn’t we detect three ancient ruins opening?” the man said.
“Yes,” Bai Konggu nodded slightly.
The news about three ancient ruins opening was scheduled to be announced by Bai Konggu tomorrow afternoon.
The fat man swallowed and said, “Today, we discovered… the entrances to all three ancient ruins have closed!”
“What?!” Both Bai Konggu and the bald man’s expressions changed dramatically.
Three ancient ruins that had opened less than a day ago, all with closed entrances?!
It was known that the entrances would only close after the legacy inside had been claimed!
But the ancient ruins had opened less than a day ago, and the Kuitian Bureau hadn’t even announced the news yet… who could have done this?
Even if someone could enter, they couldn’t obtain the legacy so quickly!
“What exactly happened?” Bai Konggu asked gravely.
“We had surveillance on all three ancient ruin entrances… After investigation, we found that all three ruins were entered by a man wearing black clothes… then in less than an hour, he came out again… As soon as the man left, the entrance to each ruin closed…” the fat man answered.
“This… how is that possible?” Bai Konggu’s expression grew even more shocked.
The same person, in the span of a single day, accurately locating three ancient ruins, entering all of them on the same day, obtaining the legacies, and then leaving…
This was an impossible feat!
