Fang Yu claimed he could introduce the Bi Family to Master Ouyang, a legendary Array Master. Bi Zuo, skeptical of Fang Yu's abilities, left to consult his Family Head. Meanwhile, Zhuge Shi remained bewildered by the unfolding events.

And the other person is the head of the Bi family, Bi Ziyu.

[Bi Ziyu: 26342/26342.]

Fang Yu secretly glanced over and surprisingly found that the Bi family head wasn’t much stronger than Bo Changquan.

This left Fang Yu momentarily unsure whether Bo Changquan was incredibly strong or the Bi family head was lacking.

The former implied that Bo Changquan’s personal strength was extremely high, reaching the level expected of a family head, but the overall strength of the Bo family was inferior to the opposing family, thus they were a step below.

The latter implied that the Bi family head wasn’t strong enough, weaker compared to other family heads of a similar tier, thus allowing for interactions with Bo Changquan.

"Hahaha, Young Master Diao! I’ve heard that the Bo family has a distinguished guest but haven’t had the chance to visit. Unexpectedly, Young Master Diao came to visit first, showing my inadequacy in hospitality as Bi of the Bi family."

Unlike the aloofness of Bi Zuo, Bi Ziyu was noticeably more enthusiastic, dressed neatly, he had a youthful vibe despite being a middle-aged man, giving off an extremely comfortable impression.

Since everyone offered a way out so graciously, how could Fang Yu not take advantage of it?

Immediately, Fang Yu smiled and cupped his hands.

"Lord Bi is being polite! I came uninvited, disturbing Lord Bi instead."

Zhuge Shi found this kind of hypocritical courtesy rather distasteful.

But after the previous life-and-death crisis, she realized her current state didn’t allow for wilfulness, so she posed as a handmaiden, standing next to Fang Yu like a wooden stake.

"Well said, well said, Young Master Diao is indeed handsome and talented, surely destined for greatness. Even Mr. Ouyang has methods to connect with you, how do you plan to introduce me to meet Mr. Ouyang?"

Fang Yu laughed.

Clearly, Bi Ziyu had been quite restrained but still revealed his eagerness regarding this matter.

A family array built by a top Array Master is a significant enhancement for an ordinary family.

This is a straightforward calculation for any family head.

Thus, Bi Ziyu was truly eager to get acquainted with Master Ouyang.

Ignoring whether Master Ouyang could bolster the family’s array, merely acquainting such a person would immensely help the Bi family.

Leveraging this connection would provide considerable maneuvering room for the Bi family. Just hinting externally, along with clear facts, the Bi family under his leadership could further rise.

A person’s reputation is like a tree’s shadow.

Sometimes, one doesn’t even need deep relations with such a figure. Knowing them in a simple capacity already enables many things, especially when there’s access to resources, the room for maneuvers expands.

In Fang Yu’s solitary perspective, an Array Master mainly provides arrays. But in the eyes of a family head, Master Ouyang is entirely valuable, it’s just about how to exploit it.

"Very simple."

Fang Yu wasn’t the kind to be cryptic.

Staring directly at Bi Ziyu, Fang Yu continued: "There will soon be a special underground auction in the Capital. Lord Bi should be aware of this, right?"

Bi Ziyu knew, even booking a spot with a considerable sum in the private box area.

Although it was only on the second floor, it was already a drastically different status compared to those below simply sitting and watching the auction.

However, Fang Yu’s mention of this made Bi Ziyu furrow his brows.

"How does this relate to you introducing me to Mr. Ouyang?"

"During that time, I will introduce Mr. Ouyang to Lord Bi, provided that Lord Bi takes me into the special area on the second floor of the auction."

"..."

Bi Ziyu contemplated.

He wanted to ask why but vaguely already knew the answer.

Bi Ziyu narrowed his eyes at Fang Yu, wondering if such a young and unfamiliar guy was worth trusting.

But at the thought of that immense gain, being able to acquaint Master Ouyang made his restless heart unable to calm.

"Alright! I will arrange for you."

Bi Ziyu agreed.

Fang Yu’s smile broadened.

"One more thing."

"Go ahead."

"I heard Lord Bi has a vast organization behind him, known as the Affiliated Council?"

Swish—

Bi Ziyu’s gaze suddenly sharpened, his aura brimming with a hidden sense of danger, making Zhuge Shi beside Fang Yu instinctively lower her head in discomfort, her heart slightly trembling.

After her strength weakened, even a glance from someone of this level made her uneasy.

"Did Brother Bo tell you?"

"Yes."

"I knew Young Master Diao wouldn’t come here today just to bring benefits to my Bi Mansion. Tell me, what else do you want from me? Note that I’m merely a regular member of the Affiliated Council, unable to command others."

"You misunderstand, I don’t want the Affiliated Council to do anything specific, just seeking their help to spread some information."

"Information?"

Bi Ziyu was slightly taken aback.

"What information."

"Information about ancient mysterious array blueprints being up for auction at the underground auction."

"..."

Bi Ziyu froze for a moment, then suddenly widened his eyes, glaring furiously at Fang Yu.

"Kid! Are you playing me??"

A surge of energy spread outward.

Boom!

Qi slammed toward Fang Yu and his companion.

Previously, Zhuge Shi wouldn’t even flinch, but now she panicked. However, quickly a figure blocked in front of her.

The rushing waves were halted by the person in front, whistling around her sides.

"Lord Bi, calm down!"

Fang Yu smiled warmly.

"I know what Lord Bi is contemplating or questioning. But please believe, this might be your only chance to connect with Master Ouyang! Missing this, you might never again get close to such a distinguished figure. Besides, all you need to pay is to spread some information and... take me to the auction’s special area."

Bi Ziyu certainly understood what Fang Yu was saying.

Only need to.

Sounded easy.

In tracing the root, none of the Affiliated Council could avoid it!

That’s Master Ouyang!

"Originally, I thought Young Master Diao was a destined person for my Bi family, but unexpectedly... even fated to meet, not destined to connect, Young Master Diao, please leave. My Bi family doesn’t indulge in unnecessary matters."

Fang Yu smilingly cupped his hands: "I’ve already placed the opportunity before Lord Bi, it only depends if you have the courage to seize it. At worst, you can offer me as a scapegoat afterward, I assume with a scapegoat, such a minor issue wouldn’t implicate the Bi family, right?"

"Enough! Young Master Diao, please leave!"

"..."

Fang Yu paused, carefully observing Bi Ziyu’s reaction, then cupped his hands.

"Alright, it was my rudeness. But if Lord Bi changes his mind, feel free to come to Bo Mansion to seek me, I’ll be there for the next few days."

After saying that, Fang Yu said no more, leading Zhuge Shi out.

Bi Ziyu watched Fang Yu’s departing figure in silent contemplation, expression alternating between hesitation, determination, and confusion.

Bi Zuo beside him couldn’t help but say.

"Master, with Affiliated Council sharing the risk, this is feasible. We don’t need to reveal the truth to others. Once they figure it out, upon discovering it isn’t at the auction, we would’ve already reaped results, using that kid’s life as compensation. We’ll also have a legitimate reason to attack the Bo family, right?"

"..."

Bi Ziyu still didn’t speak.

Bi Zuo intensified his tone: "We’ve coveted the Bo family assets for long, that Bo Changquan is slippery as a fish, never giving an opportunity. Now with this chance before us, if we don’t work it, wouldn’t we be wasting a heaven-sent..."

"Enough!"

Bi Ziyu contemplated, fingers tapping the table lightly several times, then said.

"Heard the Bo family’s juniors left Capital this morning?"

"Yes! Something must happen at the Bo family, hence utilizing Master Ouyang’s favor. But for unknown reasons, or simply by themselves, they couldn’t meet Master Ouyang directly, thus resorting to drawing out the serpent method to lure Master Ouyang, meet, and seek his help."

"Hmm... Makes sense."
