Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1529 - 680: Treatment

The Bandaged Woman tiredly reached out and rubbed her head.

"As for Young Master Diao, please treat him with the utmost care. In these turbulent times, meeting someone like Young Master Diao is extremely rare. It’s a stroke of luck for the refugees to encounter Young Master Diao, and it’s our fortunate opportunity as well."

Hong Yanxia understood and nodded in agreement.

In the Foolish Underworld, the current situation is rather awkward.

As for being strong, those few family forces are not really intimidated by them.

Yet saying they aren’t strong, now Da Liang City is essentially managed and led by the Foolish Underworld.

With so many poisoned citizens within the city, so many buildings need reconstruction, and various industries need revival, all aspects of the Foolish Underworld must be taken care of.

In truth, what’s being done by the Foolish Underworld now is what the Lin Family used to do.

Yet, the Foolish Underworld’s status is not akin to the Lin Family’s dominant position.

Which means the effort put in doesn’t match the return.

However, it must be done.

Those families in Da Liang City might ignore the life and death of its citizens, but as the Official Office representative, the Foolish Underworld cannot remain indifferent.

Hong Yanxia quickly withdrew.

In the Foolish Underworld, although the Bandaged Woman currently runs things, it’s Hong Yanxia who actually carries out most of the execution work.

Because both the Bandaged Woman and Elder Lu were injured in that battle, and are still in recovery, they won’t intervene unless it’s of utmost importance.

Besides the matters instructed by the Bandaged Woman, Hong Yanxia also had to properly arrange the refugee team on Fang Yu’s side.

With a heap of issues, Hong Yanxia indeed found herself bustling with activities.

On the contrary, the Bandaged Woman, though nominally the Foolish Underworld’s steward, focuses on issuing orders, and is less burdened with the implementation, while Elder Lu is entirely focused on recuperation.

The Foolish Underworld, due to the appearance of Fang Yu and others, became increasingly busy.

On the other side...

The Nanyuan Family.

"Father."

Nanyuan En had returned home and greeted.

"What say you? Is that fellow willing to interact with our Nanyuan Family?"

"Brother Diao is very agreeable; he’s already made a promise, although his arrival is uncertain."

Nanyuan En had long left the days of familial protection behind, becoming a man who stands on his own.

The Four Talents of Da Liang are merely a past designation; as the young generation emerges continuously, he along with his peers began gradually inheriting the family’s business and affairs.

"Yes, extending goodwill is already sufficient; there’s no need to force anything further. By the way, your third uncle has already taken people outside the city to search for the site of Lin Liang’s demise. Whether the mysterious Medicine Pill exists or not, we must take action."

Before these words settled, Nanyuan En’s interest immediately piqued.

"Father, let me assist my second uncle then..."

"No need. I know you long to venture outside, but it’s too perilous there. You’re the future of our Nanyuan Family, and must not engage in such risky deeds."

"...Yes."

The prospects of the future, Nanyuan En hadn’t considered so far ahead.

Yet he indeed began gradually taking over the family business.

Though his father hadn’t retired, his white hair was visible now.

However, regardless of the circumstances, grandfather is still present, albeit in seclusion for recovery since the battle with the Lin Family’s old monster, with no known time for proper recovery.

Fortunately, whether the Foolish Underworld or other influential families, they all share similar situations.

In present-day Da Liang City, it indeed lies in a weakened state, even top-tier warriors are recuperating, unseen.

The likes of them, mere youngsters, are scurrying around, maintaining situations.

"By the way, based on gathered intelligence, there are several corpses of Jin Mei assassins at the scene. Including even one... an assassin with the Three Jin Mei Mask."

Nanyuan En’s face changed.

An assassin of the Three Jin Mei level possesses the prowess of a Wood Realm expert.

For such a master to actually fail?

"Father, those Jin Mei assassins, were they slain by Lin Liang or..."

"Naturally, they were slain by our new friend. This person must be befriended. During a time when all family ancestors are in seclusion for recovery, whichever side this friend joins next, will likely drastically affect Da Liang City’s situation."

Upon hearing this from his father, Nanyuan En recognized Fang Yu’s importance.

In this light, previous inviting words seemed somewhat offhand.

"Father, perhaps we should increase the reward bounty, and release news to entice him to come to our Nanyuan Family first to claim it, taking the opportunity to foster relations?"

"Your idea holds merit, but this move depends on understanding others’ temperament, to further decide. You may subtly release hints, yet ideally, wait until I meet him personally to assess before deciding whether to augment the reward."

After a pause, Nanyuan En’s father continued: "Moreover, you can consult with the youngsters of the Lu Family and Shu Family, exchange information, see if they share similar intentions. Avoid any pricing competition, as everyone is heavily wounded now and can’t afford the expenditure."

Nanyuan En’s father’s words carried partial truth.

While being unable to afford isn’t entirely true, a major depletion of resources would indeed be sacrificial. If a few months prior, when the Nanyuan Family was at its peak, resources would be reported freely, yet conversely, during that time, the dominant force was the Lin Family. Such matters did not involve the Nanyuan Family, even with resources.

Now with the Lin Family fallen, the families slightly beneath the Lin Family’s stature finally find a chance to rise, claiming the current status.
