Chapter 139 Family Affairs

With his current strength, vision, and the help of the parchment, returning to Dongliu Mountain, where the strange curse first appeared, might really uncover some information.

But the problem is, he really can't find the time to make a trip to Dongliu Mountain right now. He can only solve the capital's affairs first, then talk about other things.

After all, this is the capital, the place with the strongest power in the entire Qing Kingdom. Even if a Demon-level (Mo Ji) abnormality really wants to harm him, it has to deal with this mountain first.

Suppressing his thoughts, Fang Yue put his eye patch back on, returning to the one-eyed dragon look, and stepped into the You mansion.

The strange eye in his right eye had reached a point where it couldn't be suppressed.

With the strange power (guili) completely surpassing his own martial artist power, suppressing the strange eye has become impossible.

That violent power was filling his body. Fang Yue was suppressing it with all his might, only able to prevent the black qi (heiqi) from leaking out.

The You mansion was quieter than he imagined.

This made Fang Yue feel somewhat confused.

The Black Moon organization had already been taken care of by him. The remaining remnants shouldn't require so many Qing Si to be dispatched, so there was no need for the You mansion's people to take action again. So where did they all go?

As Fang Yue was thinking, he saw a large group of people gathered ahead, all wearing Qing Si uniforms, seemingly listening to someone's speech.

"Ye Se!"

Fang Yue was still confused when someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed in surprise. Immediately afterward, he saw You Sisi running out of the Qing Si group.

"She has sharp eyes."

Fang Yue's lips curled slightly.

When You Sisi reached his side, she immediately asked with concern if he had encountered any danger on the road, and circled around Fang Yue, checking if he was injured or anything.

Fang Yue waved his hand. He planned to tell You Sisi about the Black Moon organization later.

Of course, he wouldn't talk about anything related to players, just tell You Sisi what happened there.

As for now, there were so many people here that it was inconvenient to say many things directly.

After assuring her that he was fine, Fang Yue asked, "What's going on over there? Why are there so many Qing Wei in the You family?"

Although Fang Yue knew that the You family, as one of the four great families, actually controlled the Qing Si, under normal circumstances, so many Qing Si people wouldn't be gathered in the You family.

However, You Sisi was obviously more concerned about Fang Yue's attitude than what was going on over there.

"Why are you changing the subject? Why won't you tell me what you encountered in Penglin district? Ye Se, I'm worried..."

"That kind of thing, we'll talk about it when we get back to the room."

"B-back, back to the room?!"

You Sisi, who had just been somewhat high-spirited, suddenly became flustered, her face turning as red as a ripe apple. She lowered her head and said weakly, "Is, is it, too early..."

Fang Yue: ???

I suspect you're being suggestive, and the evidence is conclusive!

"It's not what you think. I mean, when there's no one around, I'll tell you what happened there. There are too many people here, and it's not convenient."

You Sisi was stunned. A double disappointment of sorts made her face even redder. She quickly and frantically insisted, "I, I meant the same thing!"

"... Right, so, what's going on over there?"

This time, Fang Yue's power to change the subject worked.

You Sisi quickly said, "Uncle Xingchen and Uncle Xu are planning to inform Grandpa, who has already left the capital, to come back and take charge of the family. The Fifth Imperial Princess killed the Fourth Imperial Prince, and the battle for the throne has officially begun. No one knows what will happen in the capital next. In the face of such chaos, even our You family has to carefully consider our future choices."

Fang Yue then remembered that, strictly speaking, the You family hadn't yet chosen which of the nine... no, now eight, imperial princes they would pledge allegiance to.

Although on the surface, everyone knew that You Sisi had been promised to the Seventh Imperial Prince by the Holy One, and with such a close marriage, the You family should naturally be on the Seventh Imperial Prince's side.

But in reality, before it was made public, it didn't count.

"Does your You family have any plans?"

"I don't know. Grandpa's intention is definitely still to have me marry the Seventh Imperial Prince and stabilize the relationship between the two parties. In a sense, the You family is already half the Seventh Imperial Prince's."

Fang Yue's voice sank slightly: "I will make the Holy One withdraw his decree."

You Sisi smiled sweetly at Fang Yue, didn't say anything, just proactively reached out and held Fang Yue's hand, her fingers intertwined with his, as a response.

"In any case, Uncle Xingchen and the others are now planning to have Grandpa come back, so that at least the You family can stabilize morale and prevent panic throughout the mansion."

"Can he make it back? I remember You Lao left a few days ago, and he should be accompanying the Holy One to Mount Jing. If the Holy One doesn't allow him to return, he won't be able to get away."

"We can only try our best to send the message. No one knows whether Grandpa will come back. Before that, our You family plans to strengthen the defense of the mansion. It is estimated that there will be more Qing Si white robes, and even red robe level Qing Wei, patrolling the You mansion to protect the You family's safety."

Fang Yue nodded: "That's good too. If you're safe, I can feel at ease going out to investigate something."

"What are you talking about? Aren't you also a Qing Si red robe? You're also on the duty roster, and..." You Sisi, whose blush had just faded, quickly turned red again, and whispered, "And, I, I specially requested that you be my, my personal bodyguard."

Fang Yue's heart skipped a beat. He had killed many death row squad members in the Penglin district. Although he was blinded by anger at the time, he did do it.

If someone investigates something afterward, his Qing Si red robe official hat might not be able to be kept.

As the two were talking, the Qing Si team suddenly began to leave in groups.

And You Xingchen, who was previously responsible for the speech, left the main team and walked up to Fang Yue.

He frowned, seemingly not fond of Fang Yue.

"You're the guy who has You Sisi so infatuated?"

The stiffness that he felt from the hand holding his immediately alerted Fang Yue to You Sisi's nervousness.

This, this counts as meeting the elders?

Fang Yue, who hadn't felt anything before, suddenly became a little nervous.

"Junior... this junior greets Senior You Xingchen!"

Fang Yue bowed, but You Xingchen said coldly: "You are a red robe, I am a silver robe. Between Qing Si, there is no need for too much ceremony. I have no interest in your affairs. If there is any objection, it is the clan leader's business. But if you deceive You Sisi and disgrace the You family's name, then don't blame the You family for being rude."

"That won't happen, that won't happen. I feel like having kids is at least a year or two away... Ouch!"

Fang Yue screamed as You Sisi pinched his flesh.

You Xingchen: ???
