Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

”Since Young Master Diao likes it, let’s first gift it to Young Master Diao. Once our Rebel Army achieves its grand goal, there will be as many Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling as Young Master Diao desires.”

What a bold statement!

Fang Yu had already felt the strength of the Dragon Soul Seal, and indeed, it’s not something that a mere Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling can match.

It seemed from Qiu Xiaoping’s words that this item is considered an anomaly among other Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling.

What a treasure!

Fang Yu marveled once again and held onto the item tightly.

Once in his hands, there’s no way this item would be given to someone else.

”Lord Qiu truly keeps his promises. I am very satisfied with this item.”

”As long as Young Master Diao is satisfied. Subsequently, I will find a few more Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling from the warehouse to gift to Young Master Diao, probably around three to five items. I can’t send too many because the Rebel Army isn’t for me alone to dictate, and the army itself needs to keep a certain amount in stock for contingencies.”

As he spoke, Qiu Xiaoping looked at Fang Yu with a hint of apology.

There are still three to five Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling to be sent?

Fang Yu’s heart was filled with joy.

This Rebel Army is much wealthier than I imagined!

Who cares about apologizing or not? We’ll all be one family in the future!

”Lord Qiu, you are so considerate!”

Fang Yu suddenly found Qiu Xiaoping more pleasing to the eye the more he looked at him.

Moreover, Qiu Xiaoping left last night and hurried back this morning, bringing the Dragon Soul Seal with him, showing a sincerity that’s beyond measure.

It’s such a relief to have a big tree to rest under.

In the future, when fighting enemies, there would be no need to mind this or that. Whoever I want to kill, I’ll kill, without having to worry about Evil Qi at all!

However, given the example of the Soul Clothes, there’s always a day when Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling will be filled with Evil Qi eventually. So, better save it when possible.

”Additionally, regarding the demon intelligence that Young Master Diao wants, and about the Jiuyao Organization’s matters, I’m afraid Young Master Diao and Mrs. Diao will need to meet with our President and officially join the Rebel Army before we can disclose that information.”

Seeing Fang Yu so satisfied with the Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling, Qiu Xiaoping went with the flow and laid out the terms.

Fang Yu was quite familiar with this tactic.

Isn’t it just that the Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling is the down payment, and the final payment needs to be settled once one joins the Rebel Army?

Since he agreed to join the Rebel Army, it would be unreasonable if he hadn’t even met the Rebel Army’s leader.

Fang Yu gave a slight nod, which was considered as him agreeing on behalf of Ding Hui as well.

For now, the Rebel Army has shown goodwill repeatedly, and it doesn’t seem like they plan to betray him.

Seeing Fang Yu agree, Qiu Xiaoping obviously let out a big sigh of relief.

”There’s no time like the present. How about Young Master Diao comes with me to meet the Commander today?”

Fang Yu thought for a moment and said, ”Let me discuss it with my wife, and I’ll get back to you.”

”That sounds good, I will wait here for Young Master Diao’s response.”

Saying this, Qiu Xiaoping smiled, found a spot to sit down, took a sip of tea, and watched Fang Yu leave the hall with a smile.

Once Fang Yu was far off, she called towards the door.

”Qin Er, Tu Guren, both of you come in.”

Qin Er entered the hall with her head down, feeling anxious.

Tu Guren had also become much more well-behaved after being scolded by Qin Er.

The previous issue of offending Fang Yu and requesting to become his apprentice, although settled, made him realize his mistake and he dared not cause more trouble.

After all, his actions led to Qiu Xiaoping leaving without them last night, and he thought the Rebel Army had abandoned them, so there’s no room for recklessness now.

Once the two entered, they made no movements; they bowed and stood there with heads lowered, not daring to show any expression.

Qiu Xiaoping, after slowly putting down her teacup, glanced at the two and spoke softly.

”Qin Er, what do you think of Young Master Diao?”

This question completely confused Qin Er.

An inexplicable sense of an odd feeling arose as if a mother was marrying off her daughter.

Hurriedly shaking off the strange thoughts, Qin Er whispered, ”Lord Qiu, Young Master Diao is accomplished at a young age, gentle and refined, truly admirable.”

There’s nothing wrong with saying nice things.

Qiu Xiaoping didn’t seem to care about the specifics Qin Er complimented, the question was just a prelude.

”It’s clear that Qin Er quite likes Young Master Diao. So, I’ll arrange for you to be Young Master Diao’s maid, responsible for attending to his daily needs while in the Rebel Army. Would you be willing?”

What?!

Becoming someone’s maid...

Despite being in such a situation, having no status and no strength, Qin Er felt an inexplicable resistance to being a servant or a maid.

The tide of the situation is stronger than anyone, it’s not something she can refuse just because she wants to.

When Minister Qiu gives orders, it’s essentially a notification, not a negotiation.

They want to gain the protection of the Rebel Army, so at this moment, they must force themselves to agree.

”Being Young Master Diao’s maid is an honor for Qin Er, I am of course a hundred times willing. Just worried about Young Master Diao’s side...”

”Young Master Diao’s side, I’ll handle that. If he doesn’t like it, then forget about it.”

After a pause, Qiu Xiaoping looked at Qin Er and said, ”Qin Er, I observed your performance last night, and you are indeed a wise person. You should know why I’ve arranged for you to be Young Master Diao’s maid. Don’t let me down, nor betray the trust the Rebel Army has placed in you.”

”... Yes!”

Of course, Qin Er understood.

She now represents the Rebel Army.

Staying by Young Master Diao’s side, in name to serve, in fact to observe.

Yet this move may cause Young Master Diao some discomfort, right?

I wonder if this idea comes from Lord Qiu or from higher up...

No, given Lord Qiu’s respect towards Young Master Diao, it doesn’t seem like something he would do. More likely it’s from higher up...

”Tu Guren, from today, you are a member of the Autumn Department.”

”Ah?”

The Scarred Man was visibly confused.

The four departments of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter aren’t open to just anyone. One must slowly climb from the bottom of the Rebel Army, finally passing the criteria audit and qualification examination before having a chance to join the four departments.

Being directly recruited is truly unexpected.

And at this moment, Qiu Xiaoping continued, ”Joining the Autumn Department, as long as you diligently work, it’s not difficult to exchange a Martial Arts Technique or two from the Rebel Army’s secret martial arts library.”

There was no need for Qiu Xiaoping to say more.

Even the dullest person should understand the subtext.

After comprehending, the Scarred Man quickly showed a look of ecstatic joy.

”Yes! Thank you Lord Qiu for graciousness in assisting! Tu Guren is willing to serve Lord Qiu, willing to serve the Rebel Army, and is willing to give body and soul without hesitation!”

What he seeks is merely for Qin Er to learn martial arts.

Learning martial arts doesn’t necessarily require a master’s teaching. If there is a good cultivation technique, one can understand and train independently.

He has great confidence in Qin Er’s potential!

”Alright, you two can dismiss yourselves, go back and pack up your things, regardless of Young Master Diao’s decision, you will return with me to the Rebel Army today.”

”Yes!”

The two retreated, and only then did Qiu Xiaoping lazily call Fa Hongwen in.

She didn’t think highly of the Forest Snake Gang.

But it doesn’t prevent making allies, which will conveniently consolidate them as a force under the Rebel Army’s command in the future.

No matter how small the mosquito’s leg is, it can fill an empty stomach.

...

”Ding Hui!”

Fang Yu pushed open the door and found Ding Hui gleefully tinkering with a bunch of blood-filled jars.

That’s just like her, can’t stay idle once she’s awake.

Fang Yu was long accustomed to it.

”What’s up?”

Ding Hui didn’t turn her head, but was evidently in a good mood, almost humming a tune, very protective of those vials of blood.

”Qiu Xiaoping gave me the Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling, but for the other things she promised, we need to meet the high officials of the Rebel Army to receive them.”

”Is that so? Then you should go meet them.”

Only then did Ding Hui turn around, smiling at Fang Yu.

”Don’t worry, the Rebel Army needs you now; they won’t do anything to you.”

Fang Yu was taken aback.

”Aren’t you going?”

”I don’t need to. I can wait for your news at the Forest Snake Gang, plus Master Quan Heng is next door, you don’t have to worry about my safety.”

That is indeed true.

Ever since Monk Quan Heng arrived, there’s been a great sense of security. No more worries about Ding Hui’s safety.

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Yu nodded and said.

”Alright, I’ll go to the Rebel Army. Don’t run around in the Forest Snake Gang, wherever you go, let Master Quan Heng know...”

”Got it, got it, stop worrying! Where could I go, there’s a lot of stuff waiting for me to handle here.”

Ding Hui waved her hand cheerily, her good mood slightly puzzling Fang Yu.

”Then... I’m leaving?”

”Go, go!”
