176: Are you going to take action?

Long Yuan felt that what was happening to him was quite miraculous. Just three months ago, his predecessor, Zhu Deyuan, was an obscure bottom-tier student at school. But after his Transmigration, in just over three months, things had taken a 180-degree turn. Now, he was being watched by several super families, and he had even caused Prince Fu's fatherly affection to be rekindled. They were even more eager than he was for him to succeed as soon as possible!

And this was only the result of him showing a bit of talent. Was what he had shown really that impressive? Had it caused so many people from super families, who had seen it all, to change their views of him?

If they knew he already possessed Martial Commander combat power or even stronger, wouldn't they go crazy?!

It seemed he would have to be more cautious when taking action in the future to avoid letting any clues slip. However, it felt as if he was already in the Jianghu, where one cannot always act according to their own will... One thing Geng Rutai said just now made a lot of sense: after some time, those powerful princes might discover his anomalies. Therefore, he had to grow up before they noticed; otherwise, a fatal disaster could befall him and Prince Fu at any time. Thinking of this, a sense of urgency naturally grew in Long Yuan's heart!

Looking back at the images transmitted by the Heavenly Dao Eye, the Geng Family father and son had already met Qi Huaiyi's squad of Xuanwu Guards. Accompanying them was Li Gui, the Director of the Royal Nanle Division. Tong Jingshan was also waiting for their return at the county office. Everything was still within his calculations; this feeling was quite good!

There was only one exception, and that was Xu Ruoying. Her actions were completely random and didn't follow common sense at all. Of course, there was another major reason: the Shuntian Prefecture area where Xu Ruoying was located was not within the current range of the Heavenly Dao Eye. Even if he wanted to focus on tracking her, he couldn't; he could only respond passively.

Just as he was thinking about this, he saw the Heavenly Dao Eye pop up a light screen, and the person on it was actually Xu Ruoying! Looking at her surroundings, it seemed she was currently on a plane. Since the Heavenly Dao Eye could capture her information, it meant she might already be very close to Fengyang!

Long Yuan noticed two other people appearing on the screen, both with information panels. One was called Xu Guanghai, the 6th Elder of the Xu Family and Xu Ruoying's father. The other was called Xu Guanghu, the 3rd Elder of the Xu Family. From the special experience column, it could be seen that their trip was to evaluate Long Yuan. If he met the standards, they would also arrange for Xu Ruoying to get closer to him to deepen their relationship. The one presiding over this evaluation mission was the 3rd Elder, Xu Guanghu!

"As I thought, I knew the matter of the contract was definitely not as simple as Xu Ruoying made it sound!" Long Yuan realized in his heart.

It seemed the Xu Family's speed wouldn't be any slower than the Geng Family's. Look, hadn't they flown all the way from Shuntian Prefecture?

These super families... Long Yuan was speechless and sighed inwardly. As the saying goes, "The imperial family flows like water, but the clans are as solid as iron." These super families and clans had been operating for thousands of years and had long since turned themselves into cunning foxes. None of them were simple. Only a fool like Prince Fu would have his head kicked by a donkey, resulting in him eating his way into becoming a six-hundred-jin fat pig!

"It looks like I'll have to meet Xu Ruoying tonight..." Long Yuan thought.

Suddenly, Yun Yi's voice came to his ears: "Long Yuan, teacher has something to tell you. Let's head to the training room first!"

"Okay!" Long Yuan responded and followed Yun Yi toward the training room. A cold glint flashed across his face as he thought, *Are you finally going to strike? It seems you've already discussed it with that Cold Moon...* The two arrived at the training room, and Yun Yi closed the door behind him, then said with a slightly anxious expression, "Long Yuan, teacher miscalculated the ripening time of the xuan yuan fruit last time!"

"Miscalculated?!" Long Yuan was "stunned."

"Yes! I calculated carefully yesterday and found that the xuan yuan fruit tree could be nourished by the body fluids of a 3rd-grade Teng Snake, so the ripening time might be earlier. It's possible it will ripen within these next two days!" Yun Yi said.

"Is that so? Then what should we do?"

"No matter. My idea is for us to go and take a look today. If the xuan yuan fruit happens to be ripe, we'll kill the snake and take the fruit. If it's not ripe yet, we'll determine the exact time before going again. That way, we won't have to keep worrying about this!" Yun Yi said.

"Teacher is right! I just don't know if that place is far from Fengyang City. It shouldn't affect tomorrow's Inter-school Competition, right? Also, should we tell Principal Lu about this first?" Long Yuan asked.

Yun Yi shook his head and said, "No need! We'll just go and come back quickly. With our combined strength, that Teng Snake won't be able to fight back at all, so it definitely won't take too much time. A single afternoon is enough! By the way, you have those Nian Needles with you, right?"

"I have them! So, are we leaving now?"

"That would be best! Let's go and return quickly!" Yun Yi nodded.

"Good!"

The two left the training room and soon departed from the selection camp, heading straight toward the North City Gate!

From the information captured by the Heavenly Dao Eye just now, Long Yuan saw that Yun Yi's face looked a bit off while watching the fight between him and Lai Min. He was even more shocked when he saw Long Yuan win in the end. Shortly after it ended, he took out his phone to contact his superior, Cold Moon, and then walked toward him... Clearly, Yun Yi had finally made up his mind to devour him before the Inter-school Competition. Perhaps he felt that Long Yuan's strength had already escaped his control, so to be safe, he had even contacted Cold Moon to help him!

Long Yuan had actually seen last night that Yun Yi and Cold Moon had discussed dealing with him together, but the timing was set for after the Inter-school Competition. This was because Yun Yi wanted to use him to gain achievements so he could better hide within Fengyang No. 1 High School. However, the fight with Lai Min this morning made him feel he had to strike early, or else complications might arise!

And after hearing about it, Cold Moon also told Yun Yi that he must be eliminated in advance to avoid affecting the smooth execution of tomorrow's plan!

The two of them were in complete agreement.

At the North Gate of Fengyang City.

Just as dawn broke, it was already bustling with people coming and going. However, since it was still morning, more people were leaving the city to hunt beasts than returning. These hunters basically traveled in teams because the wilderness was extremely dangerous. Hunting alone not only had a low success rate, but once injured, one would fall into a helpless and dangerous situation. Therefore, traveling in a team was the optimal choice.

The wilderness beyond the North Gate was mainly a mountainous area. The Fengyang Mountain Range was one section of this wilderness mountain area. It used to be a paradise for exotic beasts, but it was later conquered by the Human Race and incorporated into Fengyang City...
