Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1365 - 610: Sky-reaching Pillar

Fa Hongwen found himself momentarily taken aback, only catching a glimpse of Fang Yu's retreating figure.

A wave of awkwardness, mingled with deep confusion, washed over Fa Hongwen.

Could Mr. Diao possibly be this preoccupied...?

Fa Hongwen had intended to sit down with Fang Yu and deliberate on the expansion of Fa Xiao’s business, yet the person had simply dashed off.

On the other hand, Ding Hui cast a few glances towards Fa Hongwen, appearing to be in high spirits, and followed Fang Yu as if they were a contented couple.

"Ha!"

"Hah!"

Upon returning to his original spot, Fang Yu discovered Guo Yuxin was actually engaged in practicing boxing!

The meticulous, step-by-step execution of his movements looked remarkably earnest.

However...

[Guo Yuxin: 10/10]

My friend, feigning such intensity won't grant you greater strength.

We're all fellow players, there's no need for such pretense!

With the effort expended, it would surely be more efficient to enlist Monk Quan Heng's aid in eliminating some monsters and accumulating experience points.

Just as Fang Yu prepared to avert his gaze and offer a greeting, he happened to observe Guo Yuxin conversing with Monk Quan Heng, who was offering instruction nearby, using an exaggerated and rather delicate tone.

"I just can't grasp it~ I can't grasp it~ I've completely forgotten how to execute this particular move~"

"But I just demonstrated it for you?"

"It doesn't matter, it simply doesn't matter! I desire Bald Pigeon to guide me personally! I yearn for Bald Pigeon to teach me hand-to-hand!"

What sort of coquettish boxing was this?

The saccharine tone sent shivers down Fang Yu's spine.

What sort of clandestine activities were these two engaged in while we were away?

"Husband, why did you halt here?"

Ding Hui caught up from behind at that exact moment.

The instant she vocalized, the attention of both individuals was immediately drawn in their direction.

Witnessing this, Fang Yu felt compelled to feign ignorance and offer a casual greeting.

"You two certainly display great enthusiasm, practicing martial arts so late into the evening."

Fang Yu’s acting was commendable, yet ultimately futile.

This was because Monk Quan Heng, with his superior skills, had already detected Fang Yu's approach.

Guo Yuxin, however, possessing lesser martial prowess, remained entirely oblivious to anyone's arrival.

Nevertheless, endowed with a thick skin, she maintained her forward momentum, proceeding to clasp Monk Quan Heng's sleeve and sway it back and forth.

"Bald Pigeon, pay them no mind; focus on teaching me martial arts! Teach me martial arts!"

"Martial arts training is not an urgent matter; a balance between exertion and rest is essential. Let us conclude our practice for today."

Monk Quan Heng responded with solemn earnestness, his words measured, leaving it unclear whether he genuinely hadn't noticed Guo Yuxin's playful antics or was merely pretending to be unaware.

As Fang Yu pondered this conundrum, he observed Monk Quan Heng offering a final word of comfort to Guo Yuxin before turning his attention towards them.

"Amitabha, you have returned quite late."

"We have just concluded our affairs, and there was absolutely no idleness indulged in... Oh, Master Quan Heng, do you happen to have any engagements planned for tomorrow?"

Fang Yu nearly forgot the primary objective due to the peculiar display of flirtatious boxing.

However, after Fang Yu posed his question, Monk Quan Heng exhibited a look of hesitation, which left Fang Yu feeling rather perplexed.

What could have occurred?

Was this question proving exceptionally difficult to answer?

After a moment of contemplation, Monk Quan Heng joined his palms together and stated, "Amitabha, Mr. Diao, regrettably, I have a prior commitment that requires my attention tomorrow, compelling me to return to the An Mansion."

"Huh? Return to the An Mansion?"

Fang Yu expressed surprise, stealing a glance at Ding Hui standing beside him, before addressing Monk Quan Heng once more.

"Pray tell, why is it necessary for you to return to the An Mansion? Did they not indicate that preparations for the rites were not yet complete?"

Fang Yu had intended for Monk Quan Heng to provide protection for Ding Hui, thereby facilitating his own demon-hunting endeavors more conveniently.

"Circumstances have shifted; they are suddenly imposing a most urgent schedule. I, too, find it rather peculiar... However, my presence there is a directive from my master to undertake the repair of the Sky-reaching Pillar for the An Mansion. Since they have issued this request, I naturally cannot turn a blind eye."

It appears there is no alternative but to accept...

It seems the strategy of having Monk Quan Heng delay his obligations at the An Mansion is also unfeasible.

Based on his interactions with Monk Quan Heng, it is evident that he adheres quite rigidly to his principles, seemingly incapable of disobeying his master's commands, which naturally elevates the priority of tasks assigned by his superior.

It would appear that tomorrow's planned demon hunt might be... compromised.

"Wait just a moment!"

Fang Yu was precisely immersed in these thoughts when Ding Hui suddenly interjected with a raised voice beside him.

As Fang Yu turned his head in bewilderment, Ding Hui continued speaking.

"You are proceeding to the An Mansion to mend the An family's Sky-reaching Pillar?"

Monk Quan Heng offered a noncommittal nod in affirmation.

"How intriguing! I have resided in Thunder City for a considerable duration, yet I have never had the privilege of witnessing those famed Ten Pillars up close. If you are indeed returning to the An Mansion, might you consider allowing me to accompany you? I harbor a desire to behold this legendary pillar of Thunder City for myself."

Ding Hui...?

Fang Yu stood there, utterly astonished.

Ding Hui intends to journey to the An Mansion with the express purpose of observing the Ten Pillars?

But what about the scheduled engagement at Song Zhenrong's estate tomorrow?Furthermore, wouldn't a sudden visit to the An Mansion pose a security risk? Having Monk Quan Heng present would alleviate some concerns, especially given the intricate power dynamics between the Ten Major Families and the Foolish Underworld. However, the Foolish Underworld's authority might not extend within the Ten Major Families' territories. As Fang Yu considered these factors, Ding Hui's lighthearted voice suddenly resonated in his thoughts. "What are you lost in thought about? Master Quan Heng inquired if you intended to visit the An Mansion tomorrow. But don't you have prior commitments? Go ahead and tend to your affairs. I'll be perfectly safe with Master Quan Heng; you needn't fret about my well-being." With a whoosh! Fang Yu turned his gaze towards Ding Hui. She truly did this for my benefit... She's unbelievable, I'm genuinely touched! "Mr. Diao? How are you planning your schedule for tomorrow? The An Mansion is known for its generous hospitality, and with their current influx of visitors, accommodating two more would hardly be an issue. I can speak with them; I'm confident the An Mansion would be pleased to make arrangements for both of you..."
