Chapter 141 - Learning is Important (3 More! Please Subscribe! Please Vote Monthly!)

When it’s time to take heads, heads must be taken angrily.And after I’ve taken the heads, others like Li Baizhen, who work for nothing, should even thank me!

Both fame and profit reaped, how wonderful!

In fact, just now when the demon charged at us, there were quite a few on the scene who were able to react.

Some even had their hands on the hilt of their swords at their waists.

But, they were not as fast as Fang Yu.

Or rather, they reached for their swords in a fluster.

But Fang Yu saw the health bar emerge from the Blood Mist.

While others had a delay in their vision, Fang Yu had everything in clear sight, like a lock-on target.

He seized the opportunity and killed the demon.

Fang Yu was not afraid of being suspected by demons like Yue Guang.

Because the circumstance at that time, with Shi Chengxin fleeing towards them, was questionable in itself.

Not to mention its last cry for help that was cut short before it could even finish shouting ’save’, killed by Fang Yu.

"Some distance away, Li Baizhen might not have heard clearly, but those closer might have caught a vague syllable rise up for half a beat, then abruptly stop as Fang Yu struck it down.

"Shi Chengxin will not die in vain! These detestable demons are getting more and more brazen! To think they’ve infiltrated our ranks!"

"Go out on a mission! I want to find demons, kill demons! To avenge my brothers!"

"Kill, kill, kill, kill!! Nature creates all things to nurture mankind, humans owe nothing in nurturing heaven, all demons should die!"

"I heard that last night on the west street, there were demons lurking, many died! The new task notice has just been posted, it’s up on the notice board, anyone can accept the task to investigate."

When someone suddenly brought this up.

No one noticed the fleeting sneer of disdain on Yue Guang’s face, almost imperceptible.

"Oh? Is that so? Let’s go, go, go! Hunt down and kill those demons together! I’d rather fight demons head-on than doubt and squabble amongst our brothers!"

The one speaking was Hu Shusheng.

Not very noticeable in the group.

Fang Yu glanced at him.

Fang Yu:...

Honestly daring.

Don’t these demons have any shame?

With someone taking the lead, the others quickly joined in.

After asking for Li Baizhen’s permission, a large group left imposingly.

Those who remained either stayed to help deal with the bodies.

Or to run and report the situation here.

Li Baizhen, on the other hand, was left idle.

As he looked at Shi Chengxin’s corpse, memories flashed in Li Baizhen’s mind.

But soon, they were sealed away and pushed to the back of his heart.

These memories might, in his retirement years, on a moonlit cool night, suddenly flood his mind like a tidal wave, bringing him to tears.

But for now, they were coldly sealed, not affecting him in the slightest.

In the Foolish Underworld, a clear and calm mind is the basic requirement for survival.

Li Baizhen took a deep breath and beckoned to Fang Yu.

After instructing others to keep busy, Li Baizhen led Fang Yu to the ancient pavilion in the courtyard.

Sitting down together, Li Baizhen looked around to make sure no one was around, then spoke.

"There’s probably still a mole among us!"

"What?" Fang Yu was startled.

"In my team, there’s likely still a demon mole!"

Li Baizhen analyzed, "The way Shi Chengxin acted at that time was too abnormal."

"His direction of escape and his movements were as if he was seeking help from someone in the crowd."

"In my opinion, whoever killed Shi Chengxin under those circumstances would be the mole."

"But unexpectedly, you were so eager to act."

Saying this, Li Baizhen looked at Fang Yu with a bit of resentment.

The true identity of Fang Yu.

What secrets Fang Yu holds.

Li Baizhen knew them clearly and plainly.

So Fang Yu could absolutely not be the demon mole.

However, Fang Yu’s move to jump out and kill the demon caused Li Baizhen to miss a chance to identify the mole.

"You were too hasty. At that time, you could have waited a bit for others to make a move. Plus, you forgot, you’re still ’gravely injured’!"

Am I, Diao Deyi, to blame for this?

Heads that come knocking, if I don’t take them, am I even human?

Can’t contain this hand, right?

And...

"Shi Chengxin was charging straight at me! Who else but me should act, what if he suddenly takes me hostage, how awkward would that be, would I have to pretend to escape with him?"

Fang Yu pondered, who was nearby at the time...

Seems like it’s Tang Shan? Or maybe Che Linfang?

Anyway, there’s some guy with four-digit hit points, Yue Guang is a bit too far away to be considered a target for help.

"That makes sense, I almost forgot you’re one of their demon companions."

"To ask for help from you, seems quite reasonable too."

"Could it be... am I overthinking this?"

"The last demon spy in our group, is it just you now?"

Li Baizhen has even started analyzing it with his cerebellum lacking some brain stem.

Goddamn, wasn’t your line of thought earlier on the right track? Don’t go off course again!

Fang Yu hurriedly said.

"I really shouldn’t speak rashly, who knows if there are still demon spies in your team. Anyway, you should assume there are, and just pretend to guard against them."

That was the biggest hint Fang Yu could give.

He couldn’t just outright expose someone else’s demon identity, that would cause trouble.

Unless someone self-destructed, he could come over and provide corroborating evidence. If done correctly, it wouldn’t raise suspicion.

"Ah..."

Li Baizhen sighed.

"It’s so annoying!"

"These demons hide and seek, why can’t they just come out and fight fair and square!"

"I really don’t want to suspect my own brothers anymore, you have no idea how much psychological pressure I feel towards Shi Chengxin."

"If I’m wrong with this cut, how am I supposed to face those subordinates who trust me? A boss who acts crazy and suspects everyone based on the slightest doubt, who would want to follow him?"

"Not to mention Shi Chengxin’s family, friends, and my wife who’s always treated Shi Chengxin like a younger brother."

"Ah!"

Speaking of this, not only Li Baizhen.

Just listening made Fang Yu’s head hurt.

Thankfully, I’m a player, once I start, it’s done.

When I say you’re a demon, you are definitely a demon; I never make a mistake!

"Let’s not talk about it anymore."

"One day, you will understand my feelings."

"That pain, that hesitation and confusion, that heavy guilt..."

"Ah."

Li Baizhen waved his hand, signaling Fang Yu to leave.

"I need some time alone, going home to face my wife is going to be another headache."

Indeed, you chopped someone else’s brother without even a live broadcast for them to see, how can they accept that?

If you relate it to Fang Yu.

That would be like suddenly someone telling him that his second sister was killed as a demon, and when the person is already dead, the body is cold, asking him to come to claim the body.

Can he fucking accept that? Wouldn’t Fang Yu jump up and kill that person’s entire family to accompany his second sister in death?

So Fang Yu can understand some of the emotions of NPCs.

But after all, it’s someone else’s problem and Fang Yu isn’t too moved by it.

However, it indeed makes Fang Yu feel a sense of crisis.

Making plans to protect his second sister must be prioritized.

He must find a way, or a power, to protect his second sister.

After all, the world is too chaotic right now.

Fang Yu had already walked some distance away when Li Baizhen suddenly called out from behind.

"Your contribution in slaying the demon today is noted. I will make sure your merits are recorded, and the report will be submitted."

"Later, you can go to the Martial Hall and pick up a Swordsmanship book to study."

"The way you use your sword is too crude, it’s unbearable to watch."

"If it wasn’t for the demon impersonating Shi Chengxin, who I severely wounded, your stab would have easily been dodged."

It’s not so easy to dodge though.

Fang Yu muttered quietly.

But Li Baizhen was right about one thing.

His One-handed Sword technique is indeed poor.

After all, he’s learned a skill called Mother-and-Child Sword which doesn’t match with using a Longsword alone.

Forcing it, it’s like copying without knowing the essence, very awkward.

However, for him to learn a new Swordsmanship, Fang Yu felt it was a bit unnecessary.

Not to mention the large amount of attribute points needed to forcibly level up the beginner skill.

Just the fact that he already possesses a Swordsmanship martial art, is sufficient for him to temporarily give up on learning a new Swordsmanship.

If he could choose, he would naturally want to learn some other Cultivation Technique.

Preferably something with special effects or convenient for protecting his life.

After thinking it over, Fang Yu decided to make a trip to the Martial Hall anyway.

If there’s a Martial Arts skill he fancies, learning something new is always good.
