But... who are they really?
And why are they protecting me?
To tell the truth, Fang Ze had no clue about the identities of these people.
He could only narrow down the possibilities bit by bit...
For instance, he believed that these people were definitely from Xida State.
After all, whether it was Fang Ze himself or his original body, neither had ever left Xida State, and they were both born and raised there.
So then, how many forces in Xida State could send three Yang Transformation-stage experts to protect him?
Fang Ze counted on his fingers.
If we’re only counting the official forces, then it should just be two noble families, plus the Commoner Faction, right?
Even the powerful Awakened Clans probably don’t have this kind of strength.
However, the Bai Family has already made a move, and the Jiang Family is the perpetrator, thus they are immediately ruled out.
Could it then be the Commoner Faction?
But the Commoner Faction has no tie to him, so why would they help him?
Moreover... those three people looked somewhat sneaky, not quite like the Commoner Faction’s style.
After all, the Commoner Faction is part of the officialdom, and should carry an air of nobility. Explore stories at freewebnovel
Huh? Sneaky...?
Thinking this, Fang Ze suddenly thought of a force that perfectly matched this style of behavior and was likely powerful enough: the remnants of the Si Family...
At this thought, a chill ran through Fang Ze’s heart.
Could it be them?
But... why would they help him?
Fang Ze felt bewildered...
.....
While Fang Ze was lost in thought,
At the same time,
In Miaohua City,
The double-horned Black Bull, the wing-backed beautiful young woman Hei Yu, and the old crone Hei Po wielding the Dragon Head Staff were staring at a "corpse" in a secret room, lost in thought.
This posture and behavior had actually been ongoing for quite some time.
Or to be more precise, over the past few days, aside from discussing and going out, they spent their time staring at this body in a daze.
After an unknown length of time, Black Bull involuntarily looked at Hei Yu and then asked in a muffled voice, "Do you... does your Transfer ability also harm the soul?"
"Why has the Young Master... been like this for the past two days?"
The beautiful young woman Hei Yu had been lost in thought as well, but upon hearing his words, she got so angry that her ample chest heaved rapidly and her face turned red.
She fiercely slapped Black Bull’s horn and then said, "Are you stupid! This is a Clone! A Clone! It’s not about any soul damage!"
"This means the Young Master had long discovered that someone at the Yang Transformation stage wanted to harm him and had calculated all of this!"
"Therefore, he used a Clone to avoid danger!"
Having said that, she paused for a moment and then added, "Think again about those two Yang Transformation-stage individuals who appeared that day."
"Clearly, they were the people the Young Master had requested to protect him!"
Upon hearing Hei Yu’s words, Black Bull was stunned for a moment and then said, "So that’s how it is..."
"No wonder I’ve always been puzzled by why those two experts suddenly appeared that day."
Upon realizing this, he shouted in hindsight and alarm, "Then, didn’t we cause trouble for the Young Master?!"
Hearing his words, Hei Yu’s body suddenly went limp as if drained of all strength, unable to speak.
Meanwhile, the old crone sighed deeply and said, "Yes. And it caused a great deal of trouble."
With that, she pointed towards the window at her right side.
That window faced directly towards Emerald City.
So, even though it was hundreds of miles away, one could still see the enormous Sky Mother Ship silently hovering in the sky, like a colossal beast, suppressing everything beneath it.
Seeing the Sky Mother Ship, even the fearless Black Bull couldn’t help but shrink back.
That was the ship that could suppress the Provincial Government and an entire city.
The Inspector inside was an existence that could vie with noble Family Heads.
They, the remnants, dared not provoke such a force.
And upon thinking that their own rash actions had put the Young Master in jeopardy, Black Bull’s guilt and anxiety grew even deeper.
He involuntarily turned to the old crone and asked urgently, "Shouldn’t we go and save the Young Master?"
But the old crone gave him a displeased look and said, "Haven’t you learned anything from what happened yesterday?"
"Our Young Master is much smarter than the old Family Head used to be. He has numerous ideas of his own."
"Didn’t you see that even the saint from the Rejuvenation Society and that side wife from the Bai Family took action on his behalf?"
"So, unless the Young Master is really in danger, we should not take any action. Just stay put and wait. Wait for the Young Master to contact us."
"With the Young Master’s intelligence, he will surely guess our identity soon and find a way to contact us."
"Let’s not add to the chaos anymore!"
.....
At the same time,
In another subordinate city of Emerald City, Greenwater City,
Hua Nu, Director Pang, and Butcher Dog were standing in front of a tightly closed door, talking in hushed tones.
Hua Nu quietly asked the two men, "How did Fang Ze get involved with the remnants of the Si Family?"

Butcher Dog shook his head, his face cold as he said, "I don’t know. No information has ever been received."
At that, he turned to look at Director Pang, "Old Pang, do you know?"
Director Pang’s small eyes sparkled, and he said cheerfully, "How would I know?"
"I’m not familiar with the remnants of the Si Family."
"But... the remnants of the Si Family have dispatched three Yang Transformation-stage experts for him. This relationship is not ordinary."
Hua Nu quietly remarked, "Yeah. It even scared the saint so much that she immediately stripped on the spot and withdrew."
No sooner had she finished speaking, than a woman’s reprimand echoed from inside the room, "Hua Nu!"
