Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Chapter 248: Chapter 179: A Reluctant Move (3-in-1 Mega Chapter)_2

Diao Ruru felt a shiver in her heart.

”Diao Deyi...”

”Hmm?”

Having finished dressing, Fang Yu responded while also checking his Double Sword. Surprisingly, there was no damage. The quality was indeed good; the points spent were well worth it.

Then, he heard something that didn’t sound like words his second sister would normally utter.

”Stop looking into big brother’s disappearance.”

”What?”

Fang Yu was suddenly stunned.

Turning around to look, he saw his second sister with her head down, fists clenched, and then she fiercely raised her head to look directly at Fang Yu, her eyes red-rimmed.

”I said, stop investigating big brother’s case!”

Fang Yu’s expression darkened as he approached and asked.

”Second sister, what happened? Did someone threaten you?”

When she heard this, she paused, realizing Fang Yu had misunderstood.

She smiled faintly and shook her head.

”You misunderstood, no one threatened me. I just don’t want to look into it anymore.”

”Why?”

Fang Yu was a bit confused: ”I’ve already found some clues. The Mo Family is operating the slave trade in Tianyuan Town, and it’s very possible that big brother...”

Watching his second sister’s mouth gradually open in shock, Fang Yu immediately realized he had spoken too much.

This was something that needed to be discussed with his second sister only when he had solid evidence.

”Sl... slave? Is big brother...?”

Second Sister widened her eyes, covering her mouth.

”Then, do we know who big brother was sold to? Right, right, money, we need to prepare some silver taels to ransom big brother...”

Second Sister was clearly confused, her hands and feet in disarray, spinning around in anxiety.

Maybe Fang Yu didn’t have much feeling for such matters, but the second sister knew how horrific the fate of a slave could be.

The west street had never been a peaceful place.

Occasionally, some people would suddenly disappear, and after a while, they would reappear as mutilated corpses.

Once, Second Sister overheard Aunt Zhang chatting with others about these suddenly appearing bodies, which were very likely to be the slaves of the wealthy, executed and then dumped here.

West street was chaotic, no one reported crimes, and a few more bodies were of no concern to anyone.

The thought of big brother possibly becoming such a mutilated corpse, dying in some corner, made Second Sister feel very sad and in pain.

”Second Sister!”

Suddenly, a voice brought her back to reality.

Snap.

Two hands gently rested on her shoulders.

”Don’t worry, big brother will be okay, I will find out where he is.”

Her little brother’s voice seemed to carry a strange sense of reassurance.

Second Sister gradually calmed down, nodding strongly, then suddenly shaking her head in haste.

”Don’t! You almost lost your life just for investigating Peony Workshop. Who knows what will happen if you continue. Plus, I’ve heard that those who can trade in slaves are the masters of the town, not someone we can afford to provoke.”

”What’s this about not affording to provoke! Peony Workshop was just an accident.” Fang Yu raised his official uniform.

”I am a Decemvir of the Foolish Underworld; I have status, who would dare lay their hands on me?”

”But...”

”Don’t worry, I’m fine. Just leave everything to me.”

After a pause, Fang Yu continued.

”By the way, have you not slept since you were injured and fainted? Go catch up on some sleep, rest a bit. We’ll talk about anything else when I come back tonight, okay?”

Second Sister kept silent, thought it over, then nodded heavily.

”...Mm!”

Sigh——

Finally, he had managed to calm Second Sister down.

Fang Yu checked once more that everything was fine, then strode toward the door.

Suddenly, something crossed his mind, and he turned back to face his second sister.

”What’s up?”

Second Sister asked in confusion.

”Here, take this.”

What Fang Yu handed her was the White Spring Sword.

Second Sister was stunned, somewhat flustered and afraid.

She, a young lady, had never dealt with such things.

Moreover, she had never practiced swordsmanship, nor martial arts; what use was it to hold it?

”Why suddenly...”

”Just in case, just keep it in your room.”

The incident at Peony Workshop had caused quite a stir.

Fang Yu was worried someone would start targeting him.

Fang Yu himself wasn’t concerned, but if someone shifted their attention to Second Sister because of him, that would be problematic.

Since the White Spring Sword was nearly phased out anyway, it would be better to let Second Sister use it for self-defense.

Second Sister’s martial arts training, taking medicinal soups for health, and practicing with the Unison Lock also had to be scheduled.

Lin Jie’s death had put him in the public eye, and if someone intentionally stirred trouble, Second Sister would become the weak spot.

Fang Yu slightly frowned, feeling the situation getting increasingly tricky.

He must go immediately to Yue Guang to talk and discuss future strategies.

After consoling Second Sister a few words, Fang Yu turned and left.

Watching Fang Yu’s retreating figure, Second Sister finally regained her composure.

She touched the White Spring Sword in her hand and drew it slightly.

Clang.

The sound of the sword was crisp, like a sharp instrument.

She felt a bit scared, a bit unfamiliar, yet... there was also a faint sense of excitement.

Second Sister wondered where this excitement came from.

Hurriedly sheathing the sword, she hugged it and quickly returned to her room, hanging the White Spring Sword beside her bed.

Looking closely at the White Spring Sword once more, Second Sister suddenly realized something, cherishingly stroking the longsword.

”This is the first time in my life... I’ve received a gift.”

...

Li Baizhen’s mansion.

To be exact.

The incident at Peony Workshop yesterday, aside from Diao Deyi, there were two survivors.

One was Chen Cangwen.

And the other was his brother, Li Qianxuan.

Currently, these two men stood before Li Baizhen.

However, the information the two men knew was one-sided.

It only included what happened at the beginning of the incident; why Lin Jie and the others ripped off their masks and where Green Demon suddenly came from, was completely unknown.
