Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 1035 See you again

Fang Yu's figure landed in front of them like a leaf blown by the wind.

He didn't even have time to completely dissipate the inertia from moving at high speed; the bluestone slab under his feet dented slightly, making a faint friction sound.

His gaze, like the most precise searchlight, instantly pierced through the distance of space, locking onto Ding Hui with unmistakable anxiety and deep concern.

"Diao Deyi!" Linghu Xiang's face lit up with joy.

“Lord Diao,” Song Zhenrong called out as well.

Fang Yu nodded quickly to the two of them, then stepped forward to carefully observe Ding Hui's condition.

There were no external injuries.

There were no signs of torture.

His mental state is also stable.

Only after quickly assessing Ding Hui's condition did Fang Yu's tense mind relax.

Ding Hui cannot afford to have any problems at this time, no, she cannot afford to have any problems at any time.

He has too many plans that are closely related to Ding Hui. For example, the resurrection of his second sister was inseparable from Ding Hui's help.

“Husband, there are outsiders here.” Ding Hui smiled, blinking her eyes.

Fang Yu released his hand without expression, then faced Master Ouyang, who stood quietly to the side like an ancient pine tree, respectfully clasped his hands, bowed, and performed a standard and solemn salute.

"Master Ouyang".

His voice was slightly hoarse from the previous speeding.

"What happened at the manor just now? Has a powerful enemy attacked?"

On his way back to the Ouyang residence at full speed, he saw from afar the enormous light curtain that enveloped the entire mansion soaring into the sky.

The grand formation of the Ouyang Mansion truly frightened him.

At that moment, his heart almost stopped, and the worst possible thought, the image of Ding Hui's death, popped into his mind!

The protective array of the Ouyang family will never be activated lightly unless the family faces a life-or-death situation!

This incident forced him to push his movement technique to an unprecedented extreme. Ignoring the energy expenditure and the possibility of revealing his whereabouts, he rushed back like a burning meteor.

He knew that not only him, but all the powerful forces in the capital at this moment had probably been alarmed by the towering array of light. Countless gazes, whether surprised, shocked, or calculating, were focused on this ancient mansion.

This Ouyang Mansion, with its unfathomable depths, has probably not displayed its terrifying power so unreservedly for far too long.

"A clumsy rat wandered in, but it's nothing, it's been taken care of."

Master Ouyang's tone was so calm and even, as if he were stating a trivial matter.

He didn't even glance at Fang Yu. After saying that, he stopped and walked deeper into the inner courtyard with his hands behind his back. His figure quickly disappeared into the shadows cast by the intersecting pillars.

Once Master Ouyang's awe-inspiring figure had completely disappeared, Ding Hui let out a soft "pfft" laugh, a laugh that carried a hint of amusement as if watching a play and a sense of detachment as if it were none of her business.

She stretched out her slender finger and poked Fang Yu's still somewhat tense arm, explaining, "It was those brainless bastards from the Foolish Underworld who barged in with arrest warrants they'd somehow gotten their hands on, trying to arrest people. Well, they didn't catch a single one, but Master Ouyang detained them all with just one sentence. They're probably squatting in some dark, damp woodshed right now, hugging their knees and reflecting on their lives."

Her tone was light and cheerful, as if she were telling a joke that had nothing to do with her.

"Catch who?"

Fang Yu's brows furrowed into a deep frown, and a chilling anger rose from the depths of his eyes, causing his entire aura to seem to cool down.

Forcibly arresting people inside the Ouyang residence?
When did the foolish underworld become so audacious?

Which important figure from the Ouyang family is being targeted?

still is……

He already had a bad feeling.

Ding Hui extended her nearly transparent, white finger, playfully tapping it on the tip of her upturned nose. Then, she drew a graceful arc with her arm and casually pointed at Linghu Xiang and Song Zhenrong beside her, her tone as relaxed as if she were calling out the names of her shopping companions: "Catch me... now."

She deliberately dragged out the last syllable, with a hint of triumphant mischief in her voice.

Fang Yu's gaze immediately turned like a sharp blade to Linghu Xiang and Song Zhenrong.

Song Zhenrong's face showed obvious embarrassment and helplessness. He rubbed his hands together awkwardly, and his eyes darted around, as if he didn't know how to explain this unexpected disaster.

Linghu Xiang remained calm as always. Meeting Fang Yu's scrutinizing gaze without flinching, she nodded decisively and confirmed in a clear, cold voice, "The target does indeed include us."

Because they had been "abducted" from the Foolish Underworld by Fang Yu, their identities were already sensitive, as they were wanted criminals on the Foolish Underworld's records.

But Fang Yu never expected that the Foolish Underworld would dare to be so blatant, disregarding the face and strength of the Ouyang family, and directly break into this den of dragons and tigers to capture people!

This has far exceeded the scope of conventional case handling, and there must be a stronger driving force behind it, carrying a tough stance that is willing to tear off the mask of civility.

"How could the Foolish Underworld know you were here? And with such precision?"

Fang Yu asked in a deep voice, this was his biggest question and the key point.

Ding Hui helplessly spread her hands, making an innocent expression: "They don't know. But they came with a search warrant, their target was clear, and they came straight for us. Husband, think about it, we've been more like ladies of high society these days, staying in the mansion all day, rarely even leaving the courtyard. So, the root of this problem is almost certainly... on your side."

As she spoke, she looked at Fang Yu meaningfully, her eyes filled with understanding.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu was taken aback at first, then his mind flashed like lightning across the night sky, instantly illuminating a detail that had been overlooked.

Just now, when Zhuge Shi was fighting the Soul Realm swordsman Baron on the west street of the city, the unique and dazzling amplification array light on her arm suddenly lit up in order to force him back!

That's a secret technique that the Ouyang family never shares with outsiders!

Could it be that at that time, the unique features of this formation were noted by the spies of the Foolish Underworld lurking in the shadows, or by other people with ulterior motives, who then followed the clues and directed their suspicions toward themselves, who had close ties with the Ouyang family, and thus deduced that Linghu Xiang and Song Zhenrong might be hiding here?
But the reaction and speed of the Underworld's actions were far too fast!

How long had passed between the end of their fight and his return to the Ouyang residence? It was as if a net had been laid long ago, just waiting for a suitable, barely plausible excuse to immediately close the net and launch an attack!
In a flash, Fang Yu had already figured out the key to this matter.

He paused for a moment, a clear look of guilt and self-reproach appearing on his face. His gaze swept over Ding Hui, Linghu Xiang, and Song Zhenrong, and his tone was low and sincere: "I'm sorry, it was my oversight and lack of careful planning that left you all in this mess. Fortunately... Master Ouyang intervened in time, and you are all safe."

His gaze finally landed on Ding Hui, and the lingering fear and relief contained in his unfinished words were clearly discernible.

Ding Hui waved her hand dismissively, her smile sly and lively, as if what she had just experienced was not a crisis but an amusing farce: "Relax, relax! With Master Ouyang as our super powerful backer, who would dare to actually draw their sword or gun in the Ouyang residence? Unless they're tired of living. Don't worry about it."

Her words were filled with an unquestionable confidence.

Linghu Xiang stepped forward, her posture upright like a pine tree in the snow. She spoke to Fang Yu solemnly, her voice clear and firm: "Diao Deyi, this matter is not solely your responsibility. There is no need to blame yourself too much. Moreover, protecting Doctor Ding's safety is also my duty. As long as I am here, I will do my utmost to protect her."

Her promise was straightforward and decisive, without any flowery language, yet it carried the weight of a promise being worth a thousand pieces of gold.

These words surprised Song Zhenrong, who couldn't help but turn his head and look at Linghu Xiang with a curious expression.

Fang Yu looked at Linghu Xiang with sincere gratitude in his eyes. He nodded and said simply, without saying any more pleasantries, "Thank you for your trouble."

He kept this kindness in his heart.

Having said that, he didn't linger any longer, as this was not the place for further discussion.

He reached out and gently took Ding Hui's wrist, whispering, "Let's go inside and talk."

He then took her and turned to walk towards the more secluded courtyard where the two of them lived.

Song Zhenrong and Linghu Xiang stopped in their tracks, like two silent statues, watching Fang Yu and Ding Hui walk side by side through the moon gate, stepping on the bluestone path, walking further and further away, until they finally disappeared into the deep end of the courtyard.

Only after the two figures had completely disappeared did Song Zhenrong slowly turn his head to look at Linghu Xiang, who was still standing straight beside him, and then suddenly asked, "Don't you... feel resentful?"

Linghu Xiang's face suddenly darkened, as if covered by a layer of frost from a northern winter. She glanced coldly at Song Zhenrong, her eyes sharp as knives, carrying a clear warning, and her tone was icy and chilling: "Mind your own business and don't meddle in other people's affairs."

After saying that, without giving Song Zhenrong a chance to speak again, he turned his head and strode away with neat and resolute steps, disappearing quickly into the corner of another corridor in the opposite direction.

Song Zhenrong watched her departing figure, a helpless bitter smile appearing on his face, and shook his head.

Fortunately, my younger sister Song Xi was seriously injured and had been recuperating in the specially arranged innermost room, which is why the people from the Underworld couldn't get in.

Otherwise, given his love for his sister, seeing her frightened would likely have caused him to erupt without restraint, fighting to the death with the people of the Foolish Underworld, and the situation would have been truly unmanageable.

He sighed, putting aside these chaotic thoughts. Right now, taking care of his sister was the most important thing for him.

He turned and walked away from the courtyard, where the tension lingered.

……

Meanwhile, Fang Yu and Ding Hui returned to their small courtyard deep within the Ouyang mansion.

Close the heavy wooden door.

Fang Yu walked to the table, picked up the teapot, poured two cups of slightly cool tea, pushed one cup in front of Ding Hui, and picked up the other cup himself, drinking it all in one gulp. The cool tea slightly relieved the thirst in his throat and the anxiety in his heart.

He put down his teacup and looked at Ding Hui, saying, "There's been some progress on the matter with the organization."

Ding Hui was twirling a strand of her hair that hung down in front of her chest with her fingers. Hearing this, she paused, raised her eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed in them: "So fast? How long have you been gone? You're quite efficient."

She truly hadn't expected Fang Yu to act so swiftly and decisively, far exceeding her expectations.

Fang Yu nodded: "I have successfully brought the Bone Tiger's corpse back to the organization and handed it over to the Secret Rabbit."

Ding Hui picked up the teacup, gently blew on the non-existent steam, and gestured for him to continue.

"As previously agreed, as long as I nod, the organization can perform the inheritance ceremony for me at any time to obtain all the power of the Supreme Golden Petal Flower from the Bone Tiger."

Fang Yu's voice was calm, without much excitement.

Ding Hui was about to nod in agreement when Fang Yu suddenly changed the subject, his tone becoming unusually serious: "However, I've put this matter on hold for now."

"Oh?"

Ding Hui put down her teacup, leaned forward slightly, and showed genuine curiosity on her face. "Why? Isn't this one of your main reasons for joining the organization? The power of the Supreme Golden Petal Flower should be of great benefit to your current strength."

"I told them that we need to wait for you to come together."

Fang Yu looked directly into Ding Hui's eyes without any hesitation, his tone serious to the point of solemnity, "The inheritance ceremony is no small matter. It is not a simple infusion of power, but a complex process with unpredictable dangers. I hope... you can help me carefully oversee it to ensure there are no hidden risks."

Only with Ding Hui around can I truly feel at ease and avoid falling into a trap.

Sure enough, Ding Hui's eyes lit up instantly. She practically jumped off her chair, clapping her hands excitedly and saying, "Of course, no problem! Leave it to me! So many exquisite golden petals... and the inheritance method... just thinking about it makes my heart itch!"

She had an almost obsessive interest in this kind of thing.

Then, as if remembering something, she blinked in confusion, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings: "Then...why don't we set off now to go and check on the organization?"

She couldn't wait any longer.

Fang Yu shook his head and slowly said, "Before that, there is one more thing I must do. Something that has been delayed for too long and prepared for for too long."

Ding Hui was taken aback at first. Looking at Fang Yu's unusually serious expression, which even carried a hint of barely perceptible tension, a thought flashed through her mind like lightning, and she instantly understood what Fang Yu meant.

It's a promise that will never be broken!

These are the materials needed to revive Diao Ruru!
Her expression gradually turned serious, no longer the lighthearted and playful one before, but replaced by a complex emotion that mixed solemnity, anticipation, and a hint of unease.

She nodded, her voice unconsciously lowered, carrying a ceremonial solemnity, and whispered, "Wait until Juemen... fulfills its promise..."

"...It's time."

Fang Yu's voice was very soft, as if afraid of disturbing something, yet it carried a resolute and determined force, echoing clearly in the quiet room.

Ding Hui fell silent.
