Fang Yu couldn’t help but feel a bit apprehensive.

Why did he think Ding Hui was acting strange?

But after thinking about it, he didn’t find anything wrong.

Hesitant, he left the room.

As soon as Fang Yu stepped out, he bumped into Monk Quan Heng coming out of the next room.

Monk Quan Heng was holding a letter with "An Mansion" written on it, making Fang Yu’s heart skip a beat.

"Master Quan Heng, are you going out?"

Monk Quan Heng waved the letter in his hand and shook his head.

"The An Mansion wants me back, but I refused. They’re not ready on their side, and if I go back early, I’ll be idle. But I’m quite concerned about the illness of Master Ye at the An Mansion. If possible, I’d like to invite Master Ding to accompany me to An Mansion to treat and heal Master Ye."

Just as well he isn’t going out.

As for having Ding Hui go with Monk Quan Heng to An Mansion to treat someone...

"Let’s talk about it when I get back?"

Fang Yu still felt a bit uneasy.

"Amitabha."

Monk Quan Heng smiled and nodded.

Without worries, Fang Yu took his leave from Monk Quan Heng.

After a short while, he left the Forest Snake Gang with Qiu Xiaoping and the others.

Not long after Fang Yu and Qiu Xiaoping left, an unexpected uninvited guest came to visit.

"Foolish Underworld’s Song Zhenrong requests to see Divine Doctor Ding!"

...

"You still know how to come back?"

Bo Shan said coldly.

Song Qianlong, who had just returned to the room, immediately stopped in his tracks.

"I’ve had many social engagements recently, I’m sorry for the inconvenience, my dear."

He stepped forward, trying to place his hands on Bo Shan’s shoulders, but she suddenly stood up from the chair and avoided him.

Taking two steps to the bedside, turning her back on her nominal husband, Bo Shan said coldly.

"Do you even know what I’ve been through while you were away?"

Song Qianlong’s eyes shifted.

He had no idea.

Just a few minutes ago, he was still lingering with Che Xintai.

"Have you run into any trouble, my dear?"

"Trouble? Indeed, it was trouble. You know the Defiled Blood Clone Demon, right? Last night, it attacked the Song Mansion, and I almost got into trouble in a fight with it."

The Defiled Blood Clone Demon?!

How dare it come to the mansion on its own!

Feeling heavy-hearted, on the surface, Song Qianlong rushed over to Bo Shan, his face full of concern, and grabbed her small hands.

"My dear! Were you hurt? How dare such a simple Defiled Blood Clone Demon be so bold! I’ll deal with those Foolish Underworld incompetents later! It’s been so long, and they still can’t catch a single demon; now it dared to cause trouble at my home, scaring my dear wife!"

Looking at the emotionally stirred Song Qianlong, feeling the warmth of her hands being enveloped.

The grudge in Bo Shan’s heart also dissolved a lot, her heart softening.

After all, he is my husband.

After all, I am the daughter-in-law of the Song family...

"Husband, can you spend more time with me in the future, okay?" Bo Shan withdrew her hand and leaned her body against Song Qianlong.

This action left Song Qianlong feeling uncertain.

Is this woman truly willingly submitting? Or... is she plotting something else?

Gently patting Bo Shan’s back, Song Qianlong’s eyes grew colder.

With the grand scheme approaching fruition, concerns of romance are not within his scope.

Once the person in his arms calmed down, Song Qianlong promptly said, "My dear, get some rest. I’ll go set things straight with the Foolish Underworld people!"

After saying this, he pretended to leave but was held back by Bo Shan.

"No need! I’m fine... just spend more time with me, husband."

"Of course, spending time with my dear is a given, but I must also speak to those at the Foolish Underworld! To do such a poor job, are they not seeking our Song family’s support this year?"

Seeing Song Qianlong prepared to stand up for her, Bo Shan felt touched, for the first time truly feeling what it means to be a wife, filling her heart with warmth.

...

Fengtianmen Lane.

Fang Yu didn’t expect to be back here.

The Foolish Underworld’s lockdown had been lifted.

Last night, the Defiled Blood Clone Demon was at the Forest Snake Gang, so naturally, the Foolish Underworld here had no results.

Otherwise, if the main body had been killed by the Foolish Underworld, there wouldn’t have been last night’s trouble.

On the street, just like the last time he came, there were no signs of life.

Occasionally, someone would peek from behind a door crack.

"Lord Qiu, is this the Rebel Army’s..."

"No. Rebel Army hideouts are scattered all over Thunder City, this is just one of them." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Is that so...

Fang Yu had thought he was about to meet the high-ranking members of the Rebel Army, which would mean this place was the Rebel Army headquarters.

It seems, after all, that he had misunderstood.

He hadn’t even joined the Rebel Army yet, so they certainly wouldn’t expose the location of their headquarters. Without such caution, the Rebel Army wouldn’t have lasted so long evading the Foolish Underworld and the Ten Major Families in Thunder City.

"This is the place."

As they walked to a secluded area, stopping in front of a house, Qiu Xiaoping knocked on the door in a pattern.

After a while, the door was opened just a crack.

"The sky is high, the earth is shallow..."

The person inside seemed ready to exchange secret signals, but upon seeing Qiu Xiaoping, his expression changed instantly.

"Please come in, my lord!"

Leading the way, Qiu Xiaoping, Fang Yu, Qin Er, and the others followed into the house.

Surveying the interior.

The simple furnishings and mottled walls revealed nothing special.

"My lord, this way please, the other lords have been waiting below for some time."

The elderly guide led the way, stopping in front of a fire pit, he cleared away the remnants and pressed something like a secret handle inside.

A crack slowly appeared in the earth next to the fire pit.

A hidden path descending downwards came into view for everyone.
