77: Section 77

“It’s so late. Boys need to protect themselves when they’re out. Don’t go home tonight.”

Luo Feiyan boldly hooked her arm through Xiao Fan’s.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you then.”

...Deep into the night...

“Hm?”

Azure Dragon looked at Su Yuan, who was living in a doghouse, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This was too great a contrast to the invincible God of War he once was.

If he hadn’t been by Su Yuan’s side for several years, Azure Dragon would have thought he had mistaken him for someone else.

“Lord Su Yuan, what are you doing here? What happened to your face?”

Su Yuan sensed a disturbance nearby and instantly woke up.

With a flash, he appeared in front of Azure Dragon.

“Lord Su Yuan, you must uphold justice for me. That Xiao Fan is not human!

He contacted me yesterday, wanting me to betray you, my Lord. But I, Azure Dragon, am a man of integrity.

How could I do such a thing as selling out my master for glory! I sternly refused him at the time.”

Azure Dragon knelt on one knee, his eyes filled with admiration and fervor for Su Yuan.

“Later, I worried about your safety and risked coming to Jiang Province alone.

Xiao Fan, I don't know how he found out, had already arranged many people.

I naturally wouldn't just surrender, so I decisively fought against those people.

I crippled many of his subordinates, and only then did I break through the encirclement!”

Hearing this, a hint of anger flashed in Su Yuan’s eyes.

Azure Dragon was his top general; wasn't this a slap in the face to him, the God of War?

Su Yuan reached out and patted Azure Dragon’s shoulder.

“Get up first. I will deal with this matter.

However, now is not the time. It still needs five more days.”

Hearing this, a hint of doubt flashed in Azure Dragon’s mind.

“Lord Su Yuan, why do we still need five days?”

“It doesn’t matter if I tell you. I have reached an agreement with a Great Figure. I am not allowed to make a move within these three years.

Otherwise, I would have dealt with this Xiao Fan long ago. How could I allow him to be so presumptuous in front of me?”

“With you, my Lord, I believe that Xiao Fan is nothing but a mere nobody.”

Azure Dragon immediately offered a compliment.

But in his heart, he was thinking of passing this message to Xiao Fan as soon as possible.

He and Xiao Fan were now in the same boat.

Only by teaming up with Xiao Fan to eliminate Su Yuan was his only way out.

“Haha, exactly, exactly. Azure Dragon, you can follow me during this time.

In a few days, I will personally take you to get revenge.”

Su Yuan hadn't been flattered in a long time.

Azure Dragon’s words made him feel somewhat giddy.

“Thank you, Lord Su Yuan. Your subordinate vows to serve you until death!”

“Hey, haven’t I told you? Don’t always kneel. We don’t do that here.”

Although he said that, Su Yuan’s smile at this moment was clearly harder to suppress than an AK.

“Yes, my Lord.”

Azure Dragon lowered his head, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

He had had enough of being the second in command!

“Get up. These past few days, pay attention to what Vermilion Bird is doing and report it to me.”

Su Yuan keenly noticed that Vermilion Bird’s reactions recently had been a bit off.

There was no longer the usual respect in her words.

“Yes, Azure Dragon guarantees to complete the mission.”

Azure Dragon cupped his hands and accepted the order.

“Hm, you are steady in your work. I have always trusted you.

You may withdraw. I need to rest.”

After saying that, Su Yuan lay back down in the doghouse.

As for what Azure Dragon would think, Su Yuan was too lazy to consider.

Su Yuan had always acted as he pleased; why should he explain himself to anyone?

After Su Yuan lay down, Azure Dragon turned and disappeared into the darkness nearby.

“Su Yuan has an agreement with a Great Figure, and he can only make a move in five days.

Also, he wants me to investigate Vermilion Bird. What should I do next?”

After sending the message, there was a long delay before a reply.

Just as Azure Dragon was about to call, the scene from yesterday morning suddenly flashed through his mind.

This made him forcefully suppress the idea.

“Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

Now, his fear of Xiao Fan completely surpassed that of Su Yuan.

Although he still didn’t know Xiao Fan’s exact background, his strength at such a young age was so heaven-defying.

He was completely not someone he could provoke.

“No, I must leave myself a way out. What if he turns hostile afterwards…”

Thinking of this, Azure Dragon left in a hurry… Early the next morning, Xiao Fan woke up early.

Although last night’s battle was intense, it was completely a piece of cake for him, a Grandmaster.

Looking at the beauty still sleeping soundly beside him, Xiao Fan gently kissed her forehead.

Then, he quietly put on his clothes and turned to leave.

Looking at the message on his phone, Xiao Fan knew that his move was correct.

“Five days is a bit short. It seems I need to first find out who the Great Figure behind Su Yuan is.”

[Just report Vermilion Bird’s matters normally to Su Yuan.

Also, you go and sound out Su Yuan to find out who is behind him.]

Since Su Yuan had already grown suspicious of Mo Qingwu, the time for their falling out must be approaching.

“Dad, help me investigate who is behind Su Yuan, the live-in son-in-law of the Ran Family.”

“Alright, I’ll call you when I have the results.”

Xiao Taian agreed directly without asking for the reason.

[Okay]

After Azure Dragon replied, he deleted all the messages.

Doing things under Su Yuan’s nose, he had to be cautious.

After arranging everything, Xiao Fan then rushed to school… At the school gate, Qin Hao was setting up his stall as usual, just like yesterday.

Although the Heaven-rank Cultivation Method he cultivated did not have top-tier strength, its recovery ability was among the best within Heaven-rank Cultivation Methods.

After being discharged from the hospital yesterday, he circulated his cultivation method and ate a lot, and his injuries were already seventy to eighty percent healed.

Even his realm had loosened. Qin Hao was confident that he would break through to Xiantian 3rd Stage today.
