Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Wu De, a Man of Loyalty and Righteousness

"Divine Doctor Fang, Miss Ye, Taoist Priest, are the three of you satisfied with your experience?"

As Fang Bai, Ye Wumei, and Wu De got ashore, Wang Maode asked with a beaming smile, his attitude deferential.

Fang Bai nodded and said, "Very satisfied! Boss Wang, thanks for the trouble!"

"No trouble at all! It’s only right... only right..."

Wang Maode pointed to the yacht docked at the harbor and said, "From now on, that yacht is exclusively for Brother Fang’s use. Whenever Brother Fang wants to go out to sea and play, you can come here anytime!"

Wu De clamored, "Boss Wang, you can’t play favorites! If Brother Fang has his own exclusive yacht, what about Taoist Master’s?"

Wang Maode chuckled and said, "Taoist Priest, if you want to come play, I’ll give you a free ride too!"

Wu De discontentedly said, "So you mean I don’t get my own exclusive yacht? Predecessors! This is discrimination!"

Ye Wumei laughed and said, "Fang Bai is Boss Wang’s life-saving benefactor; Boss Wang is willing to give a yacht to Fang Bai without any second thoughts. Taoist Priest, you’re neither related nor acquainted with Boss Wang, why should he provide you with an exclusive one? It’s only because of Fang Bai’s influence that he’s willing to offer you a free ride! You should be satisfied with what you have!"

Wu De rolled his eyes and said, "Fine, if you won’t give me one, then Taoist Master doesn’t care! Hehe, Taoist Master has plenty of money; tomorrow I’ll buy ten or eight of these yachts to keep by the seaside, so I can sail out whenever I wish!"

After hearing Wu De’s words and seeing his slovenly attire, Wang Maode thought the fat Taoist was boasting. But Fang Bai and Ye Wumei knew that Wu De really wasn’t short on money; saying he was wealthy enough to challenge nations wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

The trio left the harbor, and Fang Bai and Wu De both noticed they were being followed. Realizing that some Martial Artists who departed from Gemini Island hadn’t given up and were looking to rob them on the way, they couldn’t help but sneer to themselves.

"Let’s part ways here! We’ll keep in touch!"

Fang Bai and Wu De had a quiet exchange and Fang Bai passed him a jade pendant infused with his own killing intent. At an intersection in the city area, they waved goodbye to each other.

"Who would’ve thought, Taoist Priest Wu is quite loyal!"

Watching Wu De’s figure disappear into the distance, his sleeves fluttering, Ye Wumei spoke with a touch of emotion.

Ye Wumei had also heard Fang Bai and Wu De’s conversation. Wu De volunteered to "draw fire onto himself," planning to spread the word that the treasures of Gemini Island were on him. This way, those Martial Artists’ attention would undoubtedly focus on him, lessening the trouble for Fang Bai.

Wu De’s "self-sacrificing" spirit touched Ye Wumei quite a bit.

Fang Bai smiled and said, "You’ve been fooled by Wu De! That fat Taoist isn’t that kind-hearted!"

"How so?"

Surprised, Ye Wumei thought, could she have been mistaken? Could it be that Wu De’s eagerness to attract the attention of the Martial Artists from Gemini Island had an ulterior motive?

Fang Bai explained, "Wu De is quite cunning! Which of those Martial Artists from Gemini Island doesn’t have treasures on them? If they follow him and he ends up robbing them instead, those treasures will become his!"

Ye Wumei had a sudden realization and laughed, "So that’s what Taoist Priest Wu is thinking! Isn’t he afraid that many Martial Artists will join forces to deal with him?"

Fang Bai said, "Those Martial Artists have different agendas and it’s hard for them to unite. And even if they do, with Wu De’s strength, he can escape if he can’t defeat them, and then pick them off one by one! Although there are a few High Rank Earth Level Martial Artists present on Gemini Island, and if they’re willing to work together, they could indeed trouble Wu De quite a bit!"

Ye Wumei said, "The jade pendant you gave Wu De, you’re also worried about him encountering trouble, right?"

Fang Bai nodded and said, "After all, it’s an acquaintance made; I wouldn’t want him to run into trouble! Besides, we’ll have many more opportunities for cooperation in the future!"

After returning Ye Wumei to the Ye Family Manor and staying there until dusk, Fang Bai politely declined the Ye family’s entreaty to stay longer. Under Ye Wumei’s reluctant gaze, he walked away from the Ye Family Manor, striding towards the city center.

Halfway through his walk on a path through the woods, a sneer appeared on Fang Bai’s lips. He shifted sideways into the dense forest on his left, completely hiding his presence; he seemed to vanish into thin air.

A moment later, a middle-aged couple appeared where Fang Bai had disappeared.

"That kid is cunning, he must have spotted us!"

"Now we can be sure, he has learned some kind of cultivation technique that conceals his cultivation level, otherwise we wouldn’t have failed to sense his presence!"

"Hmm, he is only at the early stage of Earth Rank, and his speed can’t match ours. Knowing he can’t escape, he simply used his technique to hide and sneaked into this forest! He can’t have gone far!"

"Let’s split up and search!"

The middle-aged man and woman were the two suspected disciples of Ghost Doctor Valley. After returning from Gemini Island, they did not track Wu De but instead set their sights on Fang Bai. It seemed Fang Bai’s "special cultivation technique," capable of hiding his cultivation level, was more attractive to them than the treasure Wu De had obtained.

"No need to search anymore, I’m right here!"

Fang Bai appeared suddenly behind the middle-aged man and woman like a ghostly figure, looking at them with a mocking gaze.

The middle-aged man and woman whirled around, their eyes bulging with disbelief in their expressions.

They couldn’t believe that Fang Bai was able to appear behind them without either of them noticing.

This was enough proof that Fang Bai’s cultivation level was at least on par with theirs.

"So the early Earth Rank was not this kid’s true cultivation level, he’s hidden it very deeply!"

The middle-aged man and woman exchanged glances, growing more cautious while their hearts burned with eagerness, speculating that Fang Bai’s cultivation technique could not only conceal his cultivation level but also suppress his realm. It was indescribably treacherous.

"You have been following me time and again, what exactly are you planning?"

Fang Bai asked emotionlessly.

Though these two were suspected disciples of Ghost Doctor Valley, Fang Bai had never intended to let them go from the beginning. Now that they had shown up uninvited, it fit right into Fang Bai’s plans.

"Kid, you’ve got some skills, which sect do you hail from?"

The middle-aged man asked with a forced smile.

"Tell us, maybe there’s a connection between us!"

The middle-aged woman added immediately.

The two of them already considered Fang Bai to be a disciple of a Hidden Sect, in their eyes, only within such sects could such an exceptional genius emerge.

If the sect Fang Bai belonged to was stronger than their own Ghost Doctor Valley, they would think twice before acting rashly.

If Fang Bai’s sect was weaker, they would subdue him directly, forcing him to reveal the secrets of his cultivation technique before silencing him permanently.

"Well then, listen up, I am a disciple from the Hidden Sect ’Ghost Doctor Valley’!"

Fang Bai chuckled "heh heh" as he spoke.

"You’re lying!"

"Impossible!"

No sooner had Fang Bai finished speaking than the middle-aged man and woman facing him started to scoff.

The middle-aged woman said, "If you were a disciple of ’Ghost Doctor Valley,’ we would have definitely met you before!"

The middle-aged man sneered, "This is a case of Li Kui meeting Li Gui, the fake encountering the real!"
