CHAPTER 486: CHAPTER 232 ACCOMPANIMENT_4

"The attribute points were used up too quickly, I’ve used them all; otherwise I would have learned the skills right now.

I need to find a way to gather some attribute points.

Fang Yu’s eyes gleamed, planning to make a long-overdue trip to the Prison tomorrow.

That place hasn’t been visited for a long time. Perhaps more demons have been detained there.

After Fang Yu left, Zhuo Xueer only retracted her gaze when the horse was far away.

’Is that the Diao Deyi you spoke of?’

’Yes.’

Zhuo Xueer softly spoke, ’Uncle Zhou, this man has astonishing potential, but I have some doubts about his identity. Please help me check the archives.’

’Alright, I’ll look into it with the authority of a Reserve Deputy Captain when I get back.’

Reserve Deputy Captain sounds impressive, as if a high position.

But within the Yangshen Hall, it’s a pseudo-position.

It is recognized by everyone, but internally, there is no such position. There are only three levels: Captain, Deputy Captain, and Team Member.

Still, the demonized appearance of Fang Yu had left some doubts in Zhuo Xueer’s heart.

But deep inside, she still trusted Fang Yu, just looking for some confirmation.

The team continued moving forward.

Li Shisan’s death could be a big or small issue; there was much to be done.

Upon returning to Yangshen Hall, Zhuo Xueer immediately got busy.

It wasn’t until the sun was about to set that Dong Xingzhou suddenly appeared before her.

’Uncle Zhou?!’

The busy Zhuo Xueer was startled.

’What’s wrong?’ she asked a bit confused.

But Dong Xingzhou just looked at her deeply.

’I’ve checked it.’

’What?’

’Diao Deyi’s identity, I’ve looked into it.’

Zhuo Xueer finally perked up.

’What’s the result?’

’No problem at all, absolutely clean.’

Zhuo Xueer relaxed, it seemed she had been overthinking.

But when she looked up, she saw Dong Xingzhou’s expression was somewhat strange.

’Uncle Zhou, anything else?’

’...No.’

Dong Xingzhou stood up to leave, stopped at the door, and turned his face slightly.

’That Diao Deyi, foster him well, he has talent.’

’Yes! I understand! I will definitely seize the opportunity to be promoted to Deputy Captain!’

Zhuo Xueer clenched her fists with excitement, and Dong Xingzhou smiled faintly before leaving the building.

Once outside the building, Dong Xingzhou’s smile faded.

Because Diao Deyi’s archives had no issues.

But after investigating Diao Deyi’s archives, he was targeted by the [Shadow].

[Shadow] investigates only those with internal problems.

Dong Xingzhou never did anything suspicious that [Shadow] would doubt him. How could [Shadow] target him?

The only explanation is... he tampered with Diao Deyi’s archives.

Meaning... that young man’s archives even have authority above his own as Deputy Captain!

What... is this situation?

Does the upper echelons trust that young man more than me??

Dong Xingzhou shook his head slightly thinking the idea preposterous.

Perhaps, it was just a routine investigation.

Unconcerned about those secret followers, he calmly walked away.

...

’Mr. Diao!’

Fang Yu headed straight for home.

With the ’Wooden Zither Blade Technique,’ he planned to practice as soon as he returned.

To illuminate the proficiency first.

Later, once he obtains the attribute points, he can immediately learn it with a single click.

However, upon arriving at the doorstep, he found Che Linfang among the Foolish Underworld members left to protect his second sister.

Fang Yu nodded subtly without making a sound and entered the house.

But within seconds, he came back out.

Because he saw his second sister sleeping inside.

’Continue guarding.’

After instructing the remaining members of the Foolish Underworld to keep watch, Fang Yu walked out with Che Linfang.

’What’s the matter?’ Fang Yu frowned slightly.

Che Linfang’s arrival wasn’t part of his plan.

’My Lord, there are some ’people’ who want to join under your name.’

Join...under my name?

Fang Yu was a bit slow to react.

’Who? Which people?’

Che Linfang looked around cautiously to make sure no one was around, then whispered.

’The Crimson Hammer Giant Ape Spirit and the Blue Hammer Giant Ape Spirit, those two esteemed Demon Tails. Also, the subordinates of [Crystal Bone Demon] after its death. Hearing about your feats, many wish to join under your name.’

’Demon Tails?’

Fang Yu was stunned.

’Can Demon Tails recruit demon tails of the same rank as subordinates? If they follow me, what about their former subordinates?’

’According to them, they are willing to lower their ranks to join as ordinary demons under your name, and hand over their territories to you as well. As for the other demons under them, those willing to follow will come, and the rest can find their own way.’

Holy crap!

This is whole families following me now.

Do I have that much charm??

Fang Yu stroked his chin, wondering why he had such influence. All he did was lead a team to kill Yuan Hongxin, yet why such a huge impact?

Demon Tails usually don’t have few subordinates.

Two Demon Tails, plus the little demons under [Crystal Bone Demon] wanting to join him.

This really boosts my manpower greatly.

Fang Yu looked at the person beside him.

’Che Linfang, what do you think?’

Che Linfang paused for a moment, then thought deeply with a serious frown, and spoke.

’My Lord, Demon Tails sound impressive, but in this large organization, they are just a bit better pawns. I believe you understand this in your heart. It’s rare to have the opportunity to strengthen our power, we must seize this chance. I think ordinary demon foot’s strength is not much stronger than yours.’

’With more manpower and expanded territory, maybe you might receive more attention from higher-ups and be granted a demon tail position. Those of us following you would then rise as well.’

’I guess those two esteemed Demon Tails saw this and noticed your potential, hence they are willing to give up their Demon Tail status to join you. After all, those two Demon Tails have probably been stuck in that position for a lifetime, and that’s all they’d be, but you, my Lord, truly have the opportunity to ascend.’
