Chapter 332 Orange: I have a suggestion!
"A Qiu!"
Under the light of the campfire, Fan Yu rubbed her nose thoughtfully.
"Teacher, be careful to keep warm! Catching a cold in the wild is a big deal!" He Caitou took a stick and poked at the campfire to make it burn brighter.
Fan Yu shook his head and said, "I'm a Soul Douluo, and catching a cold is only a very, very small probability thing. Nan Xiao must have done something bad again."
He Caitou smiled and said, "Does the teacher also believe Nanxiao's theory that a sneeze means someone is talking about you behind your back?"
"Haha, Nanxiao is quite fun. Sometimes he can come up with some strange and weird things. I wonder if this guy's brain structure has an extra cerebellum compared to ours." Fan Yu took out a small wine pot and took a small sip.
He doesn't like drinking, but sometimes alcohol can make him feel much more relaxed.
A long, drawn-out roar came from not far away, accompanied by the sound of campfires cracking wood, which made Fan Yu and He Caitou clink their wine jugs together.
"Teacher, how about I keep watch for the first half of the night, and then wake you up for the second half?" He Caitou suggested.
Fan Yu nodded, got up, and went into the tent.
He Caitou continued to pok at the campfire with a stick, staring at the orange flames, his thoughts drifting away.
"The palace is a huge prison, trapping people inside," He Caitou sighed softly.
He reached out and rubbed his face, a deep look appearing in his eyes that was unlike his usual demeanor.
"I am He Caitou, and also Xu He." He Caitou kept reminding himself that he must not forget that his real name was Xu He, and that he must not forget that he was still burdened with hatred.
"Father, Mother, Little Sister, the day I avenge you won't be long." He Caitou threw the burning firewood into the campfire, stood up, and looked up at the waning moon in the sky.
His thoughts kept drifting away. During his time at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, He Caitou used experiments to numb himself every day. Looking at the familiar academy and the familiar people, He Caitou struggled between his two identities every day.
Sometimes, when he wakes up in the middle of the night and rests near his former prison, he can't calm himself down.
Just as He Caitou was lost in thought, the alert mechanism 100 meters away from the camp was triggered.
The vibration of the alarm device in his arms brought He Caitou back to his senses quickly. His eyes sharpened, and a charged crossbow appeared in his hand.
"Caitou, something's up?" Fanyu was also startled awake.
"The mechanism has been triggered, and something is coming towards us. We don't know yet whether it's a person or a soul beast!" He Caitou whispered.
A soul-guided sword appeared in Fan Yu's hand, and eight soul rings quietly rose up.
"Three people! Their soul power reaction is not weak, they are Soul Kings!" Fan Yu shouted and rushed out.
He Caitou had two cigars in his mouth, and his crossbow was fully charged.
"Shh~"
Three figures draped in black robes leaped out of the woods, each bearing wounds, some of which were still bleeding.
As soon as the three appeared, a thick stench of blood spread through the air.
"Who!" Fan Yu shouted.
"Eighth-ring cultivation, split up and retreat!" The leader, a man in black robes, shouted, his body erupting with an eerie soul power.
"Cai Tou is going all out! It's an evil soul master!" Fan Yu instantly recognized the sinister soul power, his eyes flashing with an astonishing chill, and his longsword flashed with a burst of light.
Upon receiving Fan Yu's order, He Caitou immediately began a full-scale bombardment.
After firing the crossbow, He Caitou quickly switched to another one, while also carrying a soul-guided cannon on his shoulder.
The three evil soul masters, who were only at the Soul King level, were almost instantly killed by Fan Yu. One was blown away by He Caitou's terrifying bombardment, and the remaining one could only run back the way he came.
Three more soul energy auras appeared in his senses. Fan Yu stood beside He Caitou with his sword in hand, his eyes fixed on the depths of the forest.
Smoke billowed from He Caitou's body, and a soul-guided cannon on his shoulder emitted a blazing red light.
A scream came from deep within the woods, then silence returned.
"Hey friend over there, could you show your face and explain why you're here?" Fan Yu shouted towards the woods.
"We have no intention of fighting!" a female voice said.
Three figures wearing hoods, masks, and long black and gold robes emerged from the woods.
One person was carrying a body that looked like a dead dog; it was the only evil spirit master who had just escaped.
"We are the guards of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. We are here to hunt down these three evil soul masters on the orders of the Chamber of Commerce. May I ask where these two friends are from?" The female voice spoke again.
"Ventriloquism?" Fan Yu frowned slightly, realizing that the three people in front of him were actually using ventriloquism to speak.
"We are from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, on an experimental mission," Fan Yu said.
Upon hearing this, the coldness in the eyes of the three hooded figures vanished completely. The leader said, "So you're from the Sun Moon Royal Family. Could you please give us the two evil spirit masters you captured so we can deal with them?"
Fan Yu nodded, and He Cai Tou kicked the two incapacitated evil spirit masters over.
"Thank you both for your help!" The hooded man in the lead clasped his hands in thanks, grabbed the two evil spirit masters, and quickly disappeared into the woods.
Fan Yu seemed to hear the three people's excited voices, "One evil soul master costs 30,000 gold soul coins, that's 90,000 for today! We've made a profit!"
After remaining on guard for a while, He Caitou looked at Fan Yu and said, "Teacher, there should be no danger now."
Fan Yu sheathed his longsword, put one hand on his hip, and said, "I've heard of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce. It's an underground force in Mingdu, but they recently had a major reshuffle. It seems the new president really dislikes evil spirit masters, as he's even offered a bounty. We can try to contact them later under the guise of the academy!"
Those who eradicate and eliminate evil spirit masters are friends of Shrek Academy.
Meanwhile, the chairman that Fan Yu mentioned, Li Yuanren, was currently hunched over a pile of reports.
"Finally, all these documents are signed!" Li Yuanren shook his aching right hand and let out a long breath.
"President, we have good news from Lord Eleven. We are going to see the boss." Wang Yu, who was acting as the male secretary, placed a confidential report on Li Yuanren's desk.
Li Yuanren's face immediately fell. "I know that the Eleventh Lord has a deep-seated hatred for evil spirit masters, and I also know that the Eleventh Lord is very dutiful, but he eliminated over a thousand evil spirit masters in one night. Doesn't this man know how to rest?"
"Alright, let's get ready and go see the boss!"
Ye Nanxiao also had a bitter face.
Ye Nanxiao had to personally oversee every hunting operation that Feng Shiyi carried out against evil soul masters, after all, Feng Shiyi was his prized employee, and he couldn't afford any problems with insufficient backup support.
"Sigh~ Why do I still have to work overtime even after becoming a boss!" Ye Nanxiao complained, picking up another document to read.
"Looks like you're not a very good boss! You damn fox." Orange's gloating voice came from the encrypted communication device on the table.
"Yeah, how can we let the boss do the work! These employees are so unqualified!" Ye Nanxiao muttered.
"How about I send a few people over to help you? Don't worry, they're all gentle and considerate older sisters!" Orange said.
"Alright, stop thinking about planting people in my line of duty. Aren't you worried enough about the palace?" Ye Nanxiao said, drawing out the syllables.
"Regarding the palace, during the last attack, the Crown Prince revealed some of his men to me, so my mission is temporarily on hold," Orange said calmly, her tone tinged with helplessness.
Since all the power she has was given to her by Xu Tianran, and Xu Tianran is giving her a break, she might as well take a rest.
"Are you bored? Why don't you work for me? You won't be idle except for your designated days off," Ye Nanxiao suggested.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the call before Orange spoke up, "I wasn't just sitting around doing nothing. I notified you as soon as there was news of an evil spirit master arriving in Mingdu, didn't I?"
"Those people came from the border to provide support. We need to act quickly, otherwise it will be much more troublesome once the Xishui Alliance reacts."
Ye Nanxiao nodded slightly. "This group of people came very suddenly, without hiding their tracks. They came by the official road, and they came in batches. I need some time."
"Have you found out what the purpose of this group of evil spirit masters is?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
This group of evil spirit masters who suddenly appeared and came to Mingdu were strange in every way.
After being attacked by the Body Sect, Mingdu entered a state of high alert. Are these evil soul masters coming here now just to get themselves killed?
"No, I'm resting. In the palace, you can only stroll around the garden; there's nothing else you can do," Orange said coldly.
"Stop resting, find a class to work in, I'm short-staffed." Ye Nanxiao slammed his pen down and sent a recruitment message to Ju Zi.
"Come on, I'm the kind of person who'll do anything for revenge. Aren't you afraid I'll destroy the Aodu Chamber of Commerce that you worked so hard to build?" Orange said with a sneer.
"So what if it's destroyed? This isn't the first time the Aodu Building has been bombed," Ye Nanxiao said, seemingly seriously.
"Then I'll come to you when I have nowhere else to go," Orange said with a smile.
"Save me the position of president."
Ye Nanxiao laughed and said, "Just a friendly reminder, I'm the boss. The president is under my jurisdiction, understand?"
"Impossible!" Orange exclaimed.
Ye Nanxiao leaned back in his chair and suddenly asked, "Little Orange, do you have any way to get me into the palace?"
This group of evil soul masters may have been recruited by the Sun Moon Court. Many high-level soul masters have been killed by Du Bu Si and his men, and the number of combat personnel who go out to run errands has shrunk considerably, which is a bad thing for the rapidly operating Mingdu.
If we don't have enough manpower, then we need to find more, and we need to find people who can follow orders, share the same interests, and won't betray us in the short term.
"What do you think the palace is? You think you can just sneak in like that? I only have maids to take care of me, and I don't even see a patrolling soldier." As she spoke, Orange seemed to have thought of something.
"How about you pretend to be my maid?" Orange suggested.
"Click." Ye Nanxiao decisively hung up the call.
Want him to dress as a woman? No way! We'll tear that door down!
