Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

The old drunk, hearing the voice, glanced at Fang Yu, then turned his head and went right back to lying on the ground drinking, like a complete outsider.

”The Lord of Mansion is in seclusion recuperating. All affairs within the Foolish Underworld are temporarily handled by me.”

The bandaged woman’s voice rang out as if it held no emotion at all.

So she’s not even the Lord of Mansion.

No wonder. If the Lord of Mansion’s strength were this weak, that Lin Family Patriarch probably wouldn’t be all that impressive either.

”Elder Lu, Xue Er, this is Elder Diao. The Lin Family’s last evil seed, Lin Liang, has already died by Elder Diao’s hand. The Lin Family case can be considered temporarily wrapped up.”

Hong Yanxia was explaining the situation to the two of them.

In fact, before she brought anyone back, subordinates of the Foolish Underworld had already come to report, otherwise they wouldn’t have gathered here waiting.

The old drunk Elder Lu burped, then lazily scrambled up from the ground.

”Elder? Looks like a young brat to me. He just killed a Lin Liang, his strength might not even be as good as ours.”

Hong Yanxia immediately frowned.

She was the one who brought him here; Elder Lu speaking so rudely was refusing to give her any face.

On the spot, Hong Yanxia dropped the pretense and let out two cold laughs.

”I didn’t join that battle that night because it was the Lord of Mansion’s order. We just have different duties; it doesn’t mean you’re some lofty figure just because you’re injured.”

”Hey hey hey! This old man meant nothing of the sort. You blow up over the tiniest thing; I don’t want to argue with you. Anyway, I’ve seen the person now, so I’ll head back first.”

After Elder Lu finished speaking, his gaze shifted to He Guxue beside him.

He Guxue, her whole body wrapped in bandages with only her eyes exposed, merely nodded calmly, which counted as tacit approval.

Only then did Elder Lu keep drinking as he tottered out.

In an instant, only Fang Yu’s group of three were left in the hall, facing each other in silence.

Fang Yu had no idea what to say, and that bandaged woman seemed naturally taciturn. He just stared wide-eyed at her while she looked back, and only Hong Yanxia’s temper eased a little after Elder Lu left. She spoke.

”Xue Er, Senior Diao was the last person to see Lin Liang. If you have anything you want to ask, just ask him directly.”

Hearing Hong Yanxia say that, Fang Yu suddenly realized what her purpose in bringing him here actually was.

He’d originally thought it was just to meet the leadership and pick up a reward. Turns out there was something more to it.

The bandaged woman spoke up then.

”Young Master Diao, when you killed Lin Liang, what state was she in? Did she leave any last words, or perhaps take some kind of Medicine Pill or use any Artifact?”

When the bandaged woman finished, Hong Yanxia’s expression became a bit strange.

She herself was calling Fang Yu ”Senior,” yet these two—one didn’t show him any respect at all, and the other even switched to a different form of address, leaving her caught in the middle.

But very soon, Hong Yanxia adjusted her mindset and her expression returned to normal.

As for Fang Yu, he only frowned slightly before quickly speaking.

”When our team ran into that woman, she was being hunted down. She stirred up calamity in the water and got a lot of people in our team killed, so I stepped in and killed her. She did beg for mercy at the time, but she didn’t take any Medicine Pill or use any Artifact, and she left no last words.”

”Is that so.”

The bandaged woman’s tone still showed no fluctuation as she went on: ”I must ask Young Master Diao to describe the situation at the time in more detail. This is very important to our Foolish Underworld. It’s also very important to the many commoners in Da Liang City who have been poisoned by more than half of the drinking water.”

She even wrapped her words in righteousness; if she added some emphatic tone, Fang Yu figured he’d start feeling a bit annoyed.

But with that utterly emotionless, flat voice of hers, there was simply no fault to be found. Instead it created a relaxed atmosphere, like just sitting down and chatting about everyday life with a friend.

Judging by what the four at the door had said earlier, and by the Foolish Underworld’s level of concern, apart from possibly carrying the method of detoxification, Lin Liang likely had some means of enhancing strength.

And both the Foolish Underworld and those few families from before all seemed quite keen on claiming this method for themselves.

So, getting me is the same as getting the initiative?

Fang Yu rubbed his chin, then suddenly laughed.

”There’s no problem with giving you a more detailed account of what happened back then. But before that, I’d like to know what exactly happened the night Lin Liang escaped from Da Liang City. Besides the antidote to the poison, what else do you want to obtain from her?”

Although Lin Liang’s corpse had long since been handed over to Hong Yanxia, Fang Yu had briefly examined what was on Lin Liang’s person while the body was still warm.

It was just some ordinary self-defense items, nothing special.

Which meant there were a few possibilities.

First, the means Lin Liang had used earlier had already been exhausted; otherwise she wouldn’t have ended up being hunted down in that state, rushing headlong into their team in panic.

Second, Lin Liang had hidden those things somewhere, intending to keep them as a backup. This possibility was a bit low, because before she was killed, she had enough time to bring out her assets to seek a way to survive. Since she didn’t bring anything out, that means she had nothing.

Since Lin Liang did nothing in the end and died directly at Song Zhenrong’s hands, Fang Yu already had a rough idea of the truth in his heart.

”No problem. Since Young Master Diao wants to hear it, I’ll give you a detailed account of what happened the night Lin Liang escaped from Da Liang City.”

The bandaged woman paused here, likely recalling the details of that night, then slowly began.

”That night...”

The bandaged woman spoke slowly, and Fang Yu listened carefully.

Through her account, Fang Yu gradually came to understand the situation.
