50: Chapter 50 The Useless Fang Xun
Fang Xun truly didn't know that Tang Xiaotang could ever be unhappy?
She seemed to be high-spirited every day.
But that was Tang Xiaotang, the rich Little Green Tea's business, not Jiang Qin's, so he didn't want to pry into her affairs.
"Young Master, we've arrived."
Half an hour later, Fang Xun saw the gate of his dilapidated apartment complex again.
"Young Master, please."
After stopping the car, Uncle Wang made a gesture for him to exit, and Fang Xun got out himself.
The girls were starting their first day of school tomorrow, so they still had to meet their homeroom teacher tonight and pick up their military training uniforms.
So, they all went back to school together.
Fang Xun's solitary figure walking home even had a hint of loneliness.
"Alas, since ancient times, lovers have been hurt by parting, so why grieve in vain~~~~~~"
Fang Xun howled as he opened his front door.
For the next two weeks, he would be all alone in this house. How painful!~~~~
"Grieving in vain~~~ until my hair turns white~~..."
As Fang Xun was singing, he suddenly noticed that his TV was on, displaying the interface of his favorite gala game.
Fang Xun initially thought he had forgotten to turn off the TV when he left, but upon closer inspection, he saw someone lazily lying on the sofa.
This person had the air conditioning on, was covered with a small blanket, and was leisurely playing with a small NS controller in their hand.
The blanket wasn't large, exposing her feet in black stockings. Fang Xun could even see her red-painted toenails through the thin black stockings stretched over her toes.
"You sing quite well, why did you stop?"
Lu Li wiggled her feet and looked up at Fang Xun.
"No, even if you're Jiang Qin's superior, you can't just enter someone's home without permission!" Fang Xun said, speechless, looking at Lu Li.
"This isn't just 'entering'." Lu Li casually pulled out a piece of paper and tossed it open in front of Fang Xun.
"This is an Investigation Order. Take a look."
Fang Xun was initially startled by the red-headed document.
What's going on? An Investigation Order?
But there were too many words, densely packed, making Fang Xun feel a bit dyslexic, so he directly looked at the signature at the bottom.
On the signature, two characters were written with sweeping strokes, like a Dragon and a Phoenix.
"You issued yourself an Investigation Order?" Fang Xun's mouth twitched. How was this different from burying one's head in the sand?
"What's wrong? It's legal and compliant. And I filed a report." Lu Li shook her head, looking at Fang Xun. Young people were still too naive.
"Who did you file the report with? Director Wei?" Fang Xun was curious.
"Do I need to bother him with something this small?"
"Then who?"
"Lu Li, Squad Leader of the Seventh Squad, Dongcheng City Special Affairs Bureau Branch." Lu Li said seriously. She had carefully reviewed and approved her own report in the internal System.
Fang Xun: "..."
"Alright, what are you here for, just to play my save file?"
Fang Xun finally got to the point.
He was quite familiar with Lu Li, but she was still a superior, so he had to be careful.
"Come and sit first."
Lu Li moved her feet, making a little space for Fang Xun.
Fang Xun looked at the cushion where Lu Li had just rested her feet and hesitated.
He didn't know whether to be disgusted by the dirty, stepped-on cushion, or to wonder if this counted as indirect contact.
"Why are you spacing out? Come here." Lu Li thought the space she left was too small, so she pulled her feet back further.
"Okay."
Fang Xun finally responded and sat down.
To his surprise, it was still somewhat warm. Lu Li wasn't like most girls who had cold bodies.
"Now can you tell me?" Fang Xun asked, sitting upright.
"The cat from this morning has been examined." Lu Li began.
"It's a low-Rank Remnant Beasts, but it has intelligence roughly equivalent to a common house cat, capable of understanding simple commands. And it can restrain some of its bloodthirsty desires."
"And then?" Fang Xun felt that Lu Li definitely wasn't just here to say these things, and that these words were enough to tell Jiang Qin.
Knowing this wouldn't do him any good either.
"It's targeting you." Lu Li pressed the controller again, advancing the game's plot on the TV.
"Or rather, it's targeting the person behind Little Jiang Qin."
"You mean, that hidden Senior?" Fang Xun asked directly.
"Yes. In the past two months, that Senior has frequently taken action. No matter the Rank of the Disaster Beast, none could withstand a single round against him.
To this day, we still don't know the Senior's ultimate strength.
The Disaster Beast also can't know.
Do you know what impact this has had?"
"Our Dongcheng City's housing prices have risen sharply?" Fang Xun wasn't sure about other things, but many real estate agents had already come to inquire about the house next door. Almost every time he made a move, the asking price would go up.
“...” Lu Li was silent for a moment. This was indeed an impact.
Many Psionic Armor Adepts even tried to pull strings to transfer to the Dongcheng City Special Affairs Bureau.
Currently, the mission mortality rate for Psionic Armor Adepts in Dongcheng City is infinitely close to zero. Even the Imperial Capital cannot compare to this.
With that Senior present, Dongcheng City is practically synonymous with safety.
"I'm not talking about that." Lu Li took a deep breath and said, "I mean, the Disaster Beast are already trying to probe the Senior's existence. Or rather, they want to directly test the Senior's limits.
If possible, they might organize an encirclement to eliminate that Senior.
But they still don't know where that Senior is, nor do they know how much it would cost to eliminate him.
So, they've set their sights on Jiang Qin and you.
Jiang Qin is the person most in contact with that Senior, and you are the person closest to Jiang Qin.
You need to be careful.
With that cat's existence, we must assume the most extreme changes in these Disaster Beast.
They might even transform into a beautiful woman to get close to you, tempt you, lead you into their trap, and ultimately become part of the trap against that Senior and Jiang Qin."
"What kind of temptation, roughly?" Fang Xun blinked. Could he just enjoy the temptation without suffering the consequences?
Lu Li scrutinized Fang Xun, then looked at the game on the TV.
"Maybe they'll turn into a beautiful woman, wearing black stockings, white stockings, short skirts, or something.
After all, tempting a little chunan like you would be simple, wouldn't it?
Just call you 'gege' and you'd be hooked, right?"
"Don't underestimate me! A true swordsman remains unmoved by temptation!!! I have diligently cultivated the Dao for two lifetimes; how could I fall into a trap set by such base methods?"
How could Fang Xun endure such humiliation? She made him sound like an Easy Boy who could be won over with a simple flirtation!
"Really?" Lu Li asked suspiciously.
"Of course!" Fang Xun said decisively.
Lu Li raised an eyebrow, then lifted her toes and tapped Fang Xun's waist, then rubbed his lower abdomen.
"Hmm?"
Lu Li sensed something.
"Xiao Chunan."
