Chapter 75 Sikong Street (2 more updates)

After Fang Yu left.In the room, only Yue Guang remained.

Yue Guang sat opposite Lin Xiaosheng.

"Do you trust him to some extent?"

"Half and half, I suppose."

"...The plan for tomorrow needs a slight adjustment."

"You mean..."

"He will take the role of the Vanguard."

"...That’s not appropriate, that’s a chess piece set by Shuang Xuyao, we shouldn’t interfere."

Yue Guang said coldly, "There are no traces of Shuang Xuyao in Tianyuan Town."

Lin Xiaosheng was taken aback.

"She didn’t come?"

"It seems so."

"Then Diao Deyi..."

"Just a discarded piece of Shuang Xuyao."

Lin Xiaosheng frowned, processed the information, and then shook his head.

"I don’t think so."

"This chess piece, Diao Deyi, from slaying demons to rise in stature, to mingling with leaders, infiltrating martial arts schools, and building wide connections – all solid and steady, just one step away from the scrutiny of the Foolish Underworld."

"Once he clears this, Diao Deyi, like a nail hammered in, will be deeply embedded in Tianyuan Town, providing many conveniences."

"A gradually intrusive social network, a trackable growth trajectory, it doesn’t seem like just a disposable piece’s treatment."

"Shuang Xuyao, she aims for something much bigger."

But Yue Guang still repeated the same perspective.

"Still, Shuang Xuyao hasn’t shown up!"

"She is adept at strategizing, not..."

"Enough said, if we don’t see Shuang Xuyao at tomorrow’s gathering, Diao Deyi must become the Vanguard."

Lin Xiaosheng sighed, "You’re forcing her to show herself, it’s just a battle of egos, it’ll ruin everything."

"An untrustworthy chess piece is better off discarded."

Yue Guang resolved firmly: "Diao Deyi is a chess piece, so is Shuang Xuyao! If she doesn’t protect Diao Deyi, then let her whole strategy collapse utterly!"

Lin Xiaosheng, stunned, "Green Demon, what’s this about..."

"A demon that doesn’t dare to step onto the battlefield, I can’t trust. Rather than living in fear and suspicion every day, better to force her to reveal herself and prove her innocence."

Lin Xiaosheng sighed, "As you wish, I’ve decided to follow you. All these years, I’ve only seen a Pure Blood Demon like you, you have the potential to become ’divine’."

Divine, that’s too far off.

Yue Guang fell silent, saying no more.

After leaving the Tea House, Fang Yu quickly walked away.

Not until he had crossed several streets and blended into the crowd did he feel somewhat secure.

Taking deep breaths, feeling his heart rate stabilize, Fang Yu felt complicated.

"Did I really just... bluff my way through?"

"Could it be that I have a talent for acting?"

Fang Yu suddenly regretted not trying more things in university.

With such strong acting skills, maybe some famous director would have noticed him, turning him into someone else’s darling, living a shameless life with his fans.

"Forget it, let’s go to Sikong Pawnshop to exchange money first."

"This damned game, playing it day by day, is really scaring me to death."

"I didn’t even think this fast when I was taking my university calculus exams."

Easing his emotions, discerning his direction, Fang Yu moved forward.

According to Yue Guang, the demon detection artifact at the Foolish Underworld had been switched.

This guy definitely didn’t do it for my sake.

Most likely, that thing poses a threat to other demons lurking in Tianyuan Town.

But regardless, this is fantastic news.

It means that, as long as I handle things properly, my character can completely pass the Foolish Underworld’s test!

Of course, just to be safe, better to secure the cash I had pre-arranged.

The first step is the pawnshop, exchanging Silver Taels for money.

Sikong Pawnshop, located on Sikong Street in Sikong Fang, isn’t much in Tianyuan Town.

But in the small area of Sikong Fang, it’s central, belonging to the main economic streets.

Various shops fill the eye, bustling with activity.

And the people walking on the street are all well-dressed.

Anyway, they’re much better dressed than Fang Yu’s plain clothes, both in texture and appearance.

Walking on the street, Fang Yu felt like he was just any servant or follower there.

Suddenly, a sign caught Fang Yu’s eyes.

Fang Yu was startled.

Isn’t this the Swallowing Gold Beast that my second sister was looking for!

Fang Yu squinted to look inside.

There weren’t many people coming and going inside, but each was dressed luxuriously, clearly from wealthy households.

"Others are doing high-end business, and my sister throws money into places like this, what a waste."

Fang Yu was about to look away when suddenly, from the , he spotted a chubby figure sneaking out, darting into a pawnshop in a small alley and disappearing inside.

Fang Yu took a closer look.

Good gracious, just as I thought, Sikong Pawnshop!

Fang Yu didn’t expect that these two shops were located so close to each other.

Moreover, Sikong Pawnshop wasn’t in the bustling Sikong Street but in a deserted alley at the corner of Sikong Street.

He strode over, and just as he reached the entrance of the pawnshop, he nearly bumped into someone.

Both parties were startled.

It was a sly-looking shop assistant, who, without waiting for Fang Yu to speak, hurriedly tried to close the door.

"I am from the forum..."

"Why the hell are you in such a hurry!"

Just as Fang Yu spoke, a roar came from inside.

The next second, Fang Yu saw someone in the room pushing the chubby man out of the back room, stabbing him with a Dagger eighteen times, and pushing him to the ground.

Clatter clatter—

Several Silver beads rolled out from the body of the chubby man, clattering on the floor.

Blood spilled out, staining the floor red.

The stabber, only then lifting his head, saw the astonished Fang Yu and the panicking shop assistant.

Buzz!

The stabber’s mind went blank.

Meanwhile, another person came out of the back room, holding his forehead which was bleeding, his face filled with rage.

"That money isn’t even enough for a few of us to pay our martial arts school fees! What the hell are you rushing for!"

As the words fell, the man with the bleeding forehead realized that the situation in the room seemed a bit eerie.

His gaze moved from Fang Yu, the intruder, to the pointy-faced shop assistant beside him.

Whirr!

As if having a sudden epiphany, the assistant quickly dragged Fang Yu into the room and slammed the door shut.

The stabber also came back to his senses.

With a cold face, clutching the Dagger, he moved closer to Fang Yu.

The other two also coordinated, enclosing him from all sides.

The situation was overwhelmingly perilous!

At least that was the case on the surface.

Fang Yu: ...

Fang Yu looked up at his own health bar.

How about... all of you come at me?

Wait!

Why has my health recovered so much?

Fang Yu immediately thought of Yue Guang’s technique of single-handed heart creation.

It looks like it also gave me a huge blood boost.

Seeing the three still closing in.

Fang Yu was speechless.

Should I just stand here and let you stab me? See if it breaks my defense!

Really fed up, so this is a trap shop.

Fishing in the forum, huh?

Tricking newbies to come in to be slaughtered, right?

Fang Yu looked at the already blood-drained Xiao Pang on the ground and got the gist.

This Xiao Pang was probably a player, somehow got those Silver beads in , and hurriedly ran to Sikong Pawnshop to cash them out.

One Silver bead, standard weight, worth over three Silver each.

A dozen or so, that’s over thirty taels, directly equating to 300,000 yuan!

Directly making a fortune!

Unfortunately, he encountered a ruthless merchant.

Taking both your life and your money, absolutely outrageous.
