Chapter 553: Chapter 140: I Was Ambushed by Dongfang 33 [Ten Thousand Words]

This doesn’t make sense no matter how you think about it, right.

"I went to find Dong Changfeng, found him alone there and was about to make a move when Xue Fuxiao arrived."

Duan Xiyang said casually, "Then Fengyun Gun Bu Chou and Yan Jun Di Yang Luoyu also showed up, the moonlight was somewhat peculiarly cold, as if it was condensing Sword Qi, Ningxue Sword probably went there too..."

"Sensing the bad situation, I simply opened the Baigu Portal and fled."

Yan Nan gaped and then suddenly sighed with relief, "Xue Fuxiao, Rui Qianshan, Bu Chou, Dong Changfeng, Yang Luoyu... these five could probably snap your bones apart. Although you could take two or three with you, it was... close!"

Duan Xiyang snorted, eyes showing contemplation, "The most surprising thing is, Dongfang Sansan could actually calculate my whereabouts, something I can’t fathom at all. Even I don’t know where I’ll be next, yet he manages to predict it and even set up an ambush... It’s a bit eerie."

"What’s going on? Explain in detail."

Then Duan Xiyang explained the situation once over.

Yan Nan pondered for a long time, shaking his head, "It doesn’t make sense, how could he calculate it?"

The two replayed the events a few times, without finding a reason. Yet, given the opponent acted, how could there not be a reason?

After a long while.

They exchanged glances.

And both sighed profoundly, "Dongfang Strategy, truly reaches the heavens and the earth..."

If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it for now.

After exchanging a few more looks, Yan Nan said, "You came back just in time, just in time for this Faceless Tower..."

Duan Xiyang, brimming with killing intent, "Just in time to kill a few of them to vent some anger!"

Duan Xiyang, with a stomach full of anger, had nowhere to vent. All the way back, it felt like a loss, and now the Faceless Tower appearing gave vent to all of Duan Xiyang’s towering resentment.

He wielded his spear and headed out energetically.

Yan Nan shook his head, still pondering: How did Dongfang Sansan know?

The person involved explained to me, and I couldn’t understand it, yet Dongfang Sansan could calculate it?

Am I really so much worse than Dongfang?

This is just... necessary to pay attention to!

...

Fang Che is now depressed, finally sorting out his thoughts, yet still couldn’t let go of Dong Changfeng, and hurried toward the agreed location.

On the way, he was still thinking he might encounter Duan Xiyang again, which slowed him down a bit.

When he reached the front of the cave, it was just past the chou hour.

But in front of the cave, it was empty.

Fang Che was greatly surprised.

Where’s the person?

He jumped into the sky, looking all around it was empty, Dong Changfeng was simply not there.

Moreover, there were no traces of battle on the scene, nor any smell of blood.

It seems Dong Changfeng and Duan Xiyang didn’t meet either.

But what’s going on? What’s Dong Changfeng up to?

You went through so much trouble to find the Guardian Hall to inform me, just to make me run for nothing?

And this time, I unluckily encountered Duan Xiyang!

"This is just..."

Fang Che stood in the night wind, bewildered: "...speechless."

"Maybe he hasn’t come yet?"

Fang Che kept his patience, waiting there while practicing Spear Technique, but he waited until Dongfang Faming, and Dong Changfeng was still nowhere to be seen.

"I really am... this is absurd..."

Fang Che, a belly full of frustration, walked back.

Thinking for a long time, he couldn’t figure out, what’s this all about?

...

Returning to Scholar Residence, it was already dawn.

Fang Che, covered in wind and frost, looked speechless.

Ye Meng had slept soundly all night, and upon coming out, saw Mr. Fang looking frustrated.

Startled, she quietly went to make breakfast.

While eating, Fang Che quietly said, "In a few days, I need to go out to participate in a selection, to represent Guardian Hall, competing for the opportunity to spar with the younger generation of Wei Wo Zheng Sect."

"You?" Ye Meng was shocked.

"How can you be representing Guardian Hall? Shouldn’t you represent Yixin Sect?"

"Yes, so are you coming with me or staying here?"

"I’m coming with you!"

Ye Meng had no hesitation. First, for the information, and second... how could she miss the opportunity to go out and have fun?

"Alright. Then in the next few days, you’ll have to spar more with me."

Fang Che said, "Quickly improve your actual combat experience, because once outside, conflicts might be unavoidable."

"Okay."

Ye Meng nodded obediently, then suddenly remembered something, blushing: "Young master, don’t strike so heavily, and if you do, don’t apply the ointment, I can manage myself."

Fang Che frowned, "Hmm?"

"I... uh, just started this morning..." Ye Meng’s face flushed red with heat.

Fang Che got the message, sounding disappointed, "Then I’ll do my best not to hit you."

Ye Meng: "???"

Her face puffed up with anger immediately.

You were doing this on purpose!

...

In the afternoon, Fang Che practiced Nether Spear Technique all afternoon; only reluctantly putting away the Nether Spear. Because, as it formed more completely, Fang Che felt an increasing sense of joy, as if connected by blood, when using the Nether Spear.

And this, even before using Blood Refining.

Fang Che was looking forward to seeing what it would be like once fully formed, to refine the blade with blood, imagining how it would fit in hand.

Putting away the Nether Spear, a sense of displeasure came from the little elf through his thoughts.

Obviously, it wanted to play outside a bit longer.

However, in this period, the Golden Horned Flood Dragon was appearing unpredictably like a Divine Dragon, and when Fang Che wasn’t at the Worldwide Escort Agency, the Golden Horned Flood Dragon roamed all over Baiyun State.

It frequented various graveyards, surrounding graveyards, historically high-death places, more than once.

It must be said, when people come to Baiyun State now, those with sharper senses absolutely feel different compared to other cities.

No matter where you go, it’s all bathed in sunlight.

Even if you walk at night, through the most eerie places, you’ll never feel a racing heart of fear.
