The moment Qin Zhong knelt down, two crisp kowtow sounds were heard. Sima Taichu and Nalan Fangfang, who were already kneeling on the ground, directly knocked their heads heavily on the ground.
The ‘Water Ghost Resentment Stone’ in Fang Rui’s hand tells the story of Li Xiangyang’s death.
In other words, the D-level non-cursor Fang Rui not only took a bath in Li Xiangyang's quasi-B-level ultimate move, but also unknowingly killed the C-level perfect curser Li Xiangyang!
With this strength, Fang Rui could easily kill them all.
Coupled with Fang Rui's comment just now, "If these people are not grateful, I will replace them with another group." They were completely frightened.
The reason why they dared to despise, ignore, or even threaten Fang Rui before was mainly due to their own strength and the fact that Hongye's position as Deacon Hongye was currently irreplaceable. Hongye could not bear the price of losing them for the time being.
However, now that their strength and status cannot be relied upon by them, how can they still have the confidence to stand and talk to Fang Rui?
"Thank you, leader, for not killing me!"
The three people kneeling on the ground spoke in unison.
"No need to thank me, just thank Linbo..."
Fang Rui looked at Uncle Lin, who had his eyes closed at this moment.
"As I said just now, if Uncle Lin hadn't appeared in time, none of you would have survived based on the offense you committed against me. It was he who saved you."
"Thank you for your life-saving grace!!!"
The three of them turned around with lingering fear and thanked Uncle Lin together.
"Gang leader, let's talk..."
Lin Bo ignored the three of them and turned his attention to Fang Rui.
"good."
Fang Rui nodded.
Lin Bo didn't say anything more and turned around to leave.
Fang Rui followed slowly, but as he passed by the three deacons, he suddenly said:
"I don't want what happened today to be spread outside. Take care of your people, otherwise you will regret not being able to die happily today."
"Yes!" The three deacons, who had already breathed a sigh of relief, nodded tensely.
…
In the reception room on the first floor of the main villa of Hongye Villa:
"Okay, stop pretending, it's just the two of us here."
Uncle Lin, who was sitting on the sofa, was making tea while reminding Fang Ruidao who had just closed the door.
"Is it that obvious?"
Fang Rui, who had an indifferent expression and a straight back before entering the door, instantly slumped down on the sofa, and the indifference on his face was replaced by a helpless smile.
"It's not obvious, if the frequency of your body's slight tremors is not so high."
Lin Bo replied casually, then pushed the brewed tea in front of Fang Rui and said:
"The tea brewed from the young leaves of ancient trees made by C-level cursed creatures thirsty for blood is particularly suitable for replenishing blood."
"Then will the three deacons discover my flaws?"
Fang Rui took the tea, drank it in one gulp without any hesitation, and asked with a little worry.
He didn't wonder why Uncle Lin knew that he needed to replenish his blood.
The moment he expressed his sincerity to Zhao Wuyan, he was already ready to let Zhao Wuyan reveal the incident of the 'Blood Lady' on him to Uncle Lin.
"Those three losers don't even dare to look at you, how could they possibly discover your flaw?"
"That's good, otherwise my acting will be in vain." Fang Rui breathed a sigh of relief.
"If I don't go over, what are you going to do? Kill them all?"
"No, the resources required to train a deacon are still very painful." Fang Rui slowly sat up. The tea that Uncle Lin brewed was still very effective.
He said without hesitation:
"The most I can do is kill your two apprentices so that the other two deacons can learn to behave better and ensure that Hongye will not cause any trouble because my true strength is exposed."
"Then why did you expose your strength?" Lin Bo continued to ask.
He didn't believe that Fang Rui didn't know how much trouble the exposure of his true strength would bring to Hongye.
"Because I have to kill Xu Bufan! But I don't want to face District 11 behind him, so I need to expose my true strength to protect myself."
"What is the reason for killing?"
"He discovered the 'bloody lady' in me and had murderous intentions towards me. I have to protect myself."
"But as far as I know, the clues about the 'Blood Red Bride', also known as the 'Blood Lady', should have been exposed intentionally by you."
"Yes, because I wanted to use this clue to get more opportunities to contact Wang Chen and lure her best friend here, but I didn't expect that I lured the wrong person." Fang Rui confessed without any concealment.
"What's your purpose of attracting her best friend here?"
"Let her help me become a Purifier."
"Purifier?!" Lin Bo sat up slightly, as if he was very curious about this new word in Fang Rui's mouth.
"I named it myself." Fang Rui explained: "The cursed ones are called cursed ones because they use the power cursed by the new moon to fight; the purifiers I envisioned use the power that was purified.
Fight against the power of the curse.
I said I don't like the new moon, so I don't want to be cursed by it. But if you just rely on body training, reaching level D is already the limit.
I don’t want my strength to stagnate, so I hope to create a new direction to become stronger.”
"So, you created the Purifier route yourself?"
"Yes."
"Are you sure you can control the power you envisioned without relying on cursed objects?" Lin Bo said disapprovingly.
The reason why the curser is able to master the power of the curse mainly relies on the help and guidance of the cursed object.
Want to master a power similar to the power of a curse without the guidance of a cursed object?
He couldn't imagine how difficult it was.
"This is all just my imagination, and I can't guarantee that I can succeed, but if you don't try, how will you know?"
Fang Rui shrugged casually.
But hidden under the casual attitude, those extremely bright and determined eyes seemed to be telling Lin Bo - I don't care at all how difficult this road is, I just know that this is the road I want to take.
"Can you tell me why you hate Crescent Moon, why you are rejected and cursed?" Lin Bo asked after a brief silence, staring into Fang Rui's eyes.
His intuition told him that the answer to this question should be the biggest and most terrifying secret hidden in Fang Rui.
"Do you need a reason to hate me?" Fang Rui responded with a smile.
"How sure are you of success?" Knowing that Fang Rui was unwilling to tell the truth, Lin Bo didn't ask too much, but turned to other topics.
"have no idea."
"You don't know that this will cost Hongye..."
"I don't care! The core purpose of creating Hongye is to support me in completing this plan." Fang Rui interrupted Lin Bo's words without any hesitation, and said firmly:
"Although I may seem to not care about your efforts when I say this, this is what I mean. No matter how strong and beautiful you make the red leaves, it is just a tool for me to achieve my goal. If necessary, I will
Sacrifice it without hesitation."
"You don't have to worry about my feelings about this." Listening to Fang Rui's slightly offensive words, Uncle Lin was not annoyed at all. He said indifferently:
"Helping you take care of the red leaves for ten years is my promise to you, and it is also my job. I don't care what you think, I am just completing my job. Even if I come to help you today, it is just to maintain the stability of the red leaves.
It’s just to reduce the loss of red leaves.”
"Speaking of this!" Fang Rui seemed to have remembered something. He scratched his hair in embarrassment and apologized to Uncle Lin:
"I'm really sorry for killing two of your direct disciples today."
"Don't worry about this. If it weren't for the development of Hongye, they wouldn't be qualified to be my apprentices, so I don't care much about them.
Apart from his identity, the loss of Li Xiangyang, the c-level consummation deacon, made me feel a little sad.
You said it's easy to retrain someone, but do you know how much money I need to spend to get these resources?"
Lin Bo touched his head, as if he was very afraid that one day he would wake up and he would never be able to touch them again.
"There is no way. Although if you come forward to protect me vigorously, the civil unrest situation should be stabilized for the time being, but there will still be future troubles. The only way to cure the root cause is to scare the monkeys, fully demonstrate my strength, and scare them.
.
What's more, after I killed Li Xiangyang's brother, he was also dissatisfied with me from the bottom of his heart. The disadvantages of keeping him would only be greater than the benefits.
As for the retraining mentioned later to scare them, it was just talk.
If I really dare to kill them all, you will probably be the first one to stand up and kill me."
"Indeed..." Lin Bo nodded without giving Fang Rui any dignity, and said seriously:
"For the development direction I am planning for Hongye now, they are indeed more important than you, the gang leader.
If you follow your instructions and focus on the development of Hongye, I will indeed kill you."
"Actually, you don't need to be so violent. Just stop me. I still have a great influence on Hongye's development." Fang Rui defended with a little guilty conscience.
"No..." Lin Bo shook his head, looked at Fang Rui with a half-smile and said:
"Judging from your conversation with me today, I think you will be Hongye's biggest hidden danger. If Hongye wants to have a stable development, I may really need to find an excuse to kill you."
"It's not appropriate for the gang to take control of the gang for the sake of stability, isn't it?"
"There's nothing inappropriate. After all, the promise I made was just to help you take care of the red leaves for ten years. It didn't include saving your life."
