District Thirty-Six.
Although Little Sun Country had divided its land into districts, each was essentially just a single city.
Compared to other abandoned cities, these special district cities were relatively peaceful.
The entrance roads to District Thirty-Six were guarded by the military.
A car drove up slowly and eventually stopped under the interception of soldiers.
A man in black got out of the car to negotiate with the soldiers. The former slipped something into a soldier's hand, and after glancing at the car, the soldier allowed them through.
The car passed through smoothly.
This time, Chang Qi had taken over the driving. Fortunately, his driving skills were decent, and the mother and daughter were in good spirits.
"Did you just bribe them with money?"
Fang Bai, sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at Chang Qi.
The latter nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, Lord. Although these soldiers control every entrance to District Thirty-Six, they are only human. Their purpose is actually to prevent monster invasions; as long as we have no ill intent, anyone can enter."
Fang Bai nodded and then asked, "Are there any particularly powerful factions in District Thirty-Six?"
Chang Qi nodded. "There are, Lord. As far as I know, there are many factions in District Thirty-Six, but the four most powerful are the government, two great families, and a faction called the Duan Shui Sect."
Fang Bai raised an eyebrow. "Tell me in detail."
"Yes, Lord!"
Chang Qi said, "The government is normal; after all, they are the maintainers of order in the country. Among the official warriors, experts are as common as clouds. There is an Eighth-Rank Expert overseeing things, who is also a powerful existence that keeps other factions in check."
"The two great families are the Miyamoto Family and the Zaoli Family. These two families also have an Eighth-Rank Expert backing them. These two families almost monopolize all the resources in District Thirty-Six! If it weren't for the government's checks and balances, one of them would likely have become the sole hegemon."
"Finally, the Duan Shui Sect. As for this faction... calling it terrifying might be a bit much, but its strength is unquestionable because they only have ten members in total! However, every one of these ten is an expert! Moreover, their movements are mysterious, and they specifically oppose The Authorities, making them a major headache for the government forces. Curiously, they don't target ordinary people, only the great families and the government."
Listening to Chang Qi's explanation, Fang Bai came to understand the situation.
However, what surprised him was that a single district had at least three Eighth-Rank Experts. The strength of these Little Japanese was not to be underestimated!
Fang Bai looked back at the mother and daughter and said, "Are you going straight to the Cangwu Martial Arts Hall?"
Yumi thought for a moment and then asked, "Brother Bai, are you leaving?"
She knew that Fang Bai's initial goal was just to escort her to the martial arts hall. Now that they had arrived at their destination, he would naturally be leaving.
Fang Bai said, "I expect to stay here for a few days to see how I can get back."
This was his first time in Little Sun Country, and returning to Dragon Country would likely be difficult.
Once the high-level officials of Little Sun Country learned of his existence, they would certainly try to obstruct him in every way possible.
So, he had to get a clear picture of the situation here first.
Yumi thought about it and said, "Then let's find a place to stay first, and then we'll go report in, okay?"
Fang Bai had no objection and let Chang Qi drive them to a hotel.
The car stopped in front of a hotel, and Chang Qi said with a fawning expression, "Lord, I have brought you here as requested. Can you... spare my dog of a life?"
Fang Bai raised an eyebrow and then smiled kindly. "Of course. I am a man of my word. Currently, my integrity rating is 100%."
"You may go."
Chang Qi was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you! Thank you so much for your mercy, Lord!"
After saying that, he turned and ran, his speed so fast it was staggering.
Yumi, however, was worried. "Brother Bai, by letting him go like that, what if he exposes our whereabouts?"
Nothing much would happen to them, but Fang Bai was different. He was from Dragon Country; if The Authorities knew his identity, they would definitely not let him go easily.
Fang Bai said with a smile, "It's fine, I have my own plans."
"Let's go. Let's go inside and rest first."
Clear Leaf registered their information, and the three of them successfully checked into the hotel.
The mother and daughter shared one room, while Fang Bai stayed in another.
As soon as Yumi entered the room, she began her cultivation.
She was now almost obsessed with cultivation; the feeling of power constantly rising was simply too wonderful!
On the way there, she had also been working hard on her cultivation. Fang Bai had even let Chang Qi act as her opponent to hone her skills. Yumi was now at the mid-stage of the First Rank!
"Yumi, can you pause for a moment?"
At that moment, Clear Leaf's voice suddenly rang out.
Hearing this, Yumi looked at her. "What is it, Mother?"
Clear Leaf said with a complicated gaze, "Lord Fang Bai will probably be leaving soon. We've been under his protection all this way; how should we repay him?"
Hearing this, a look of worry appeared on Yumi's small face. "But Brother Bai doesn't seem to need anything in return from us. Didn't Mother get rejected when she tried to offer herself last time?"
Having been exposed by her daughter, Clear Leaf's face turned red, and she felt quite embarrassed. "Oh! Don't mention that anymore."
Yumi's eyes suddenly lit up. "Mother, I know how to repay Brother Bai!"
Clear Leaf: ???
...On the other side.
Chang Qi ran all the way, and following the route in his memory, he soon arrived at the main gate of a military base.
Chang Qi's expression was somewhat distorted. "Damn Dragon Countryman! You must die!"
"Oh? You changed your face quite quickly, little brother!"
An eerie voice rang out, instantly scaring the soul out of Chang Qi!
"Who is it?!"
"Heh, we've only been apart for a moment, and you've already forgotten my voice?"
Chang Qi's face turned pale instantly. "L-Lord?!"
He was stunned. He had clearly escaped, so why had the other party followed him?
"Heh, it looks like you wanted to backstab me!"
Chang Qi's expression changed wildly as he hurriedly begged for mercy, "Lord! I was wrong! I shouldn't have come here! Please spare my life!"
He quickly added, "Didn't you say you were a man of your word?"
Wasn't his integrity rating 100%?
"Foolish! If I kill you, who can give me a bad review?"
As long as no one gives a bad review, isn't the positive rating 100%?
At that moment, Chang Qi's shadow suddenly came to life, and his body was pierced by countless spikes!
Death by a Thousand Cuts!
Chang Qi's eyes widened. He never expected that he would die here!
"Who's there?!"
The soldiers in the base also noticed the abnormality and rushed over.
At the same time, a powerful aura appeared beside Chang Qi's body. Looking at the gruesome corpse, he frowned. "An assassin? Could it be someone from the Duan Shui Sect?"
