Chapter 442: What's Your Background (3/5, Autumn Subscription)

Fang Yue's heart skipped a beat.

How did this guy get here?

Could it be that he came for the matter of 【Broken Dragon Head】?

Really just for a fight, investigating all the way to this extent?

Fang Yue felt that Lord Jun probably wouldn't sell him out.

After all, if Lord Jun had spoken up, this guy shouldn't have shown up at this point in time, but rather the moment Fang Yue left with his front foot, his back foot would have been caught up to.

"Hmm? You recognize me... oh, so it's you, the new face from back then."

You Sisi glanced at Fang Yue with slight surprise, and quickly recalled.

Just as she herself said, her memory had always been pretty good.

Fang Yue secretly breathed a small sigh of relief in his heart.

Sure enough, this guy didn't come for the matter of 【Broken Dragon Head】.

"Uh, Lord You, what are you here for?"

"Don't worry, I'm not here to find you."

You Sisi surveyed the inn, came to an empty table, extended a finger, gently wiped it, and a faint layer of dust was left on her finger.

She slightly furrowed her brow, seeming a little displeased, but still plopped herself down on her bottom.

"I'm not here to find you, go busy yourself with your own matters."

Saying so, You Sisi gave a look to the Grey-Clad Qing Guards standing at the door, and these people immediately took the order, some walking into the kitchen, some going up the stairs.

In no time, the team members who had just lain down to rest were woken up one after another, cursing as they came out.

But when they saw the female Qing Guard in blue clothes sitting in the hall, their expressions immediately changed slightly, they hurriedly shut their mouths, and silently moved behind Fang Yue.

In just this short while, seventeen or eighteen people were already standing behind Fang Yue.

Moreover, those who were woken up later also tacitly joined in, walking to stand behind Fang Yue.

You Sisi was taken aback.

"Are they all your people?"

"That's right."

"... What's your background?"

You Sisi had only returned to Qingsi County yesterday, an incident happened at night, and she was busy investigating during the day, so she had no idea who was staying in this inn at all.

Just as Fang Yue was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from upstairs.

"We are from Gu Yue Cun. Gu Yue Cun has been destroyed, we came to seek refuge in Qingsi County."

"It's you." You Sisi looked up, slightly furrowed her brow, the guy upstairs was none other than Lin Ling, who had entered the Qing Division together with Fang Yue back then.

"So the Gu Yue Cun survivors that 【Tian Erjun】 mentioned, are you people."

"That's right, it's us. I wonder what instructions Lord You Qing Yi has for coming here?"

"I've come to check on two people. Since everyone in the inn is your people, please ask Chief Captain Lin to invite out the two people who were at Qingluan Lou last night."

You Sisi was speaking to Fang Yue.

Fang Yue was taken aback for a moment. Qingluan Lou? What place? Who was she asking to be invited out?

Did our people get into trouble??

Although Fang Yue was completely baffled, he still pointed upstairs.

"The one upstairs is Chief Captain Lin."

"..."

You Sisi's expression stiffened, and she silently looked up.

Lin Ling:...

Lin Ling was silent for a moment, then coughed: "Cough, cooperating with the Qing Division's work is only right and proper. I'll call them out right now, please have these Qing Guards withdraw, don't disturb Lord Han and their rest."

"... Lord Han?!"

You Sisi was shocked in her heart, and abruptly stood up.

"The Lord Han that Chief Captain Lin just mentioned, is it that Lord Han? He's upstairs?"

"Yes."

You Sisi's face lit up with joy, she stamped her foot, and with a leap, landed on the second floor.

"Where is he? I want to meet him!"

Lin Ling frowned: "Lord Han doesn't see visitors."

"Is it in these few rooms? Such strong hidden aura internal force, I can't sense even a hint of a strong person's aura!"

Hearing this from downstairs, Fang Yue's face darkened.

Lord Han has no strength at all, so naturally there's no strong person's aura for you to catch.

Stamping his foot, Fang Yue also leaped up, and just as You Sisi was about to barge into the nearest room... which was Fang Yue's room, Fang Yue grabbed her hand in one swift motion.

"Lord You Qing Yi, please stay."

Fang Yue moved extremely fast, and didn't hold back, instantly locking onto her wrist.

You Sisi was taken aback for a moment, before her face turned cold.

"Let go."

"I can, but you can't barge in to find Lord Han."

"The Qing Division is handling business, unrelated people, stand down!" You Sisi coldly stared at Fang Yue, and took out a plaque.

Fang Yue chuckled lightly: "One plaque can't scare me."

Just as Fang Yue's words fell, a voice suddenly sounded from the side.

"This is the Green Garment Token. Within the scope of your duty, act without restraint — including killing."

Fang Yue and Lin Ling were both startled and turned to look — it was indeed Lord Han, who had just woken.

The black mist formed it, the black robe concealed it; outsiders couldn't see anything at all.

"You recognize the Green Garment Token, so you…"

"Lord Han!"

"Lord Han."

You Sisi had been about to say something, but hearing the two of them, she stopped short at once, her hand frozen in midair, trembling slightly.

It was said that Rain Grade experts had temperaments as changeable as their moods, killing without a trace!

Only after she came back to her senses did she feel the belated fear.

Because she knew that if a Rain Grade expert wanted to kill her, it would be as easy as turning over a hand.

"L-Lord Han!"

Slowly taking back the Green Garment Token, You Sisi's forehead broke out in fine beads of sweat. She lowered her head and said respectfully, "I-I didn't mean it that way just now…"

"It's part of official duty, I understand. The people that You Green Garment is looking for — we'll have them come out to be questioned shortly. For now, have all your people withdraw, don't disturb the others' sweet dreams."

"Y-yes!"

You Sisi bowed respectfully, and in that posture slowly backed away. Only when she reached the stairwell did she take her leave, turn, and head downstairs — not forgetting to call the rest of her people back as well.

In no time at all, the inn had returned to calm; every member of the Green Division had withdrawn.

"Xiao Ye, did you see You Sisi's reaction? She was nearly scared to death by Lord Han! Her heart was going thump-thump-thump — I could hear it perfectly clearly." Lin Ling snickered, feeling quite pleased and exhilarated.

These Green Division people really didn't take them seriously at all!

Don't forget, this batch of theirs had also fought their way out of that night of village destruction by the Wu Rain Tribe. If it really came to a fight with You Sisi's lot, the outcome was hardly certain! What gave them the right to be so arrogant!

"Keep it in, stay low-key. We're living under someone else's roof, so our attitude still has to be proper. Once Xiao Ye enters the Green Division and secures a position, only then can we begin planning our development, preparing for the rebuilding of Gu Yue Cun."

Having said that, Lord Han began to briefly tell Fang Yue what had happened the previous night.

"Qingluan Lou? A brothel? The two of them went there to fool around and didn't even invite me… ahem! I mean, they have some nerve! So what happened in the end? Has Lord Dou, who caused the trouble at Qingluan Lou, been dealt with?"

"Don't know."

Both Lord Han and Lin Ling shook their heads, but Lord Han quickly added, "However, since they've traced it back to Wu Wu and Jing Yan, that means the matter isn't over yet."

Makes sense.

Just from what Lord Han said, after Lord Dou's grotesque transformation, he was only at the level of a mid Black Grade grotesque.

Two Green Garments of the Green Division were stationed there — any one of them sent over could have handled it. So how did it drag on until now, to the point of sending people to investigate?

Looks like Lord Dou got away?
