Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1636 - 734: Negotiation

As the horde of demons fled, the chaotic scene quickly attracted some people’s attention.

The demon corpses, with their chests split open and limbs severed, looked like coveted treasures to many caravans, making their eyes glaze over and drool at the mouths.

However, no matter how eager they were, they had to consider one person: the gatekeeper of Sui Chong Pass.

Without the gatekeeper’s permission, they did not even dare to move, let alone leave the place.

Although the crisis had been resolved, the site became extremely quiet.

Because the demons had been repelled before they even fully approached Sui Chong Pass, the gate to the pass remained half-open.

As a figure slowly descended from above, landing lightly on the ground with graceful steps, all eyes instinctively focused on that person.

However...

"Young Master Diao, the demons have retreated. Are you interested in staying within the pass to discuss our unfinished business?"

Was it about Sui Chong Pass assisting in interrogating Hei Wu Jue?

Fang Yu slightly frowned as he looked at her, momentarily unsure if Chen Yunyun genuinely wanted to help or if there was an underlying threat behind her words.

The Light Halo Cannon, if it could strike demons outside the pass, could also strike the people inside.

Leaving Sui Chong Pass, in the long canyon path, anyone would be exposed within the attack range of its Light Halo Cannon.

Fang Yu knew that Chen Yunyun previously had the chance to do so but chose not to fire, only showcasing this ability.

So now, there was naturally no reason for her to act hostilely towards him... but Chen Yunyun indeed had the ability to blast any passing caravan into pieces if she wished.

This was Chen Yunyun’s territory, Sui Chong Pass’s territory, and even someone as strong as Fang Yu had to consider the safety of those around him.

Therefore, after some hesitation and contemplation, Fang Yu slowly nodded.

"In that case... I would be honored by a visit from the gatekeeper."

Everyone around turned their gaze towards Fang Yu, and seeing him nod, they couldn’t help but whisper in their hearts.

This unheard-of guy suddenly appeared with the strength to rival the gatekeeper, and now seemed to have a somewhat ambiguous relationship with the gatekeeper?

No! We’d better present some gifts to mend ties.

But this guy insists on killing someone related to Hei Ningyu; if truly involved, it could be deadly serious.

For a moment, people felt quite conflicted, maintaining restraint while eagerly watching Fang Yu, as if wanting to act but not daring to.

Meanwhile, Bai Qi and Jing Jun, leading their squads, descended from the checkpoint to begin clearing the site.

Demon materials from those slain at Sui Chong Pass naturally belonged to Sui Chong Pass and had nothing to do with the caravan folks.

However, after a simple selection process, Sui Chong Pass quickly sold a portion of the demon corpses to some caravans at relatively lower prices, trading for a large amount of supplies and some wealth.

This brought an unexpected joy to many caravans, resulting in continuous praises for Sui Chong Pass.

Fang Yu, at this time, had already been invited upstairs along with Ding Hui.

"Husband, the gatekeeper is indeed courteous to us."

Ding Hui’s words caused Fang Yu to nod casually, as his mind was occupied with another matter.

Clearly, Sui Chong Pass often faced the threat of demon sieges, frequently encountering demon attacks, so they probably weren’t short of the remaining demon materials after the kills.

Only the very precious and rare materials would be stored, while others were traded with passing caravans and merchant teams as capital for exchange or sale.

Passing caravans acted like merchants refreshing at any time, providing Sui Chong Pass with various needed supplies.

The two formed a mutually dependent relationship, possibly even self-sufficient without requesting additional resources from above unless necessary.

When Fang Yu thought of this, they had already been invited to a room on the second floor.

"Please wait a moment."

Chen Yunyun looked somewhat fatigued, indicating that she had endured quite a bit from the battle just now.

She personally brewed a pot of tea, pouring steaming tea for the two of them.

"It’s a small checkpoint, unlike the hospitality of the big towns, please bear with it."

"You’re too kind, gatekeeper."

Ding Hui smiled gracefully.

At the same time, her voice resonated directly in Fang Yu’s mind.

"This woman has a request for us."

Without needing Ding Hui to mention it, Fang Yu had already sensed it.

Whether from Chen Yunyun’s previous hospitality and repeated invitations or her current enthusiasm, they all hinted at a pressing need.

As expected, once Chen Yunyun sat opposite them, she got straight to the point.

"To be honest, my strong desire to keep Young Master Diao is actually to seek Young Master Diao’s help in a matter."

"..."

Fang Yu remained silent, looking instead towards Ding Hui.

Surprisingly, Ding Hui, who usually preferred to avoid additional troubles, showed no intention of advising him against it, instead maintaining a fake smile as if urging Chen Yunyun to continue.

Although Chen Yunyun could sense that Ding Hui’s strength was negligible, considering Ding Hui’s relationship with Fang Yu, she still treated and respected Ding Hui considerably.
