Mu Wanyao hung up the phone and relayed her superior's reply to Fang Xian.
"Fang Xian, your superiors have agreed to your request, and we will deliver the items to you as soon as possible."
"Thanks."
Is there anything else you need?
Fang Xian pondered for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly.
The fact that the US could send someone to assassinate him means that the US could also kidnap his parents as a threat, which would put his parents in danger.
Therefore, we had no choice but to request national support.
"I want to ask the government to protect my parents."
Mu Wanyao nodded; she already had a plan for this issue.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of your parents' safety."
"Thanks."
Fang Xian looked at the destroyed villa, his heart bleeding.
Although the villa was free, it was gone after only a few days. Who wouldn't feel bad about that?
Mu Wanyao saw through Fang Xian's thoughts and couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Where would you like to stay? We can provide you with safer and more reliable accommodations."
Fang Xian was overjoyed and showed no politeness whatsoever.
"I'm used to living here, so I'll stay here."
Mu Wanyao initially wanted to persuade Fang Xian to accept the safe house they designated, but after careful consideration, she realized that Fang Xian's combat strength didn't require their protection at all. However, just to be on the safe side, they would have to increase the number of people protecting him in the future, just in case.
"good."
"Thank you, Commander Mu."
"You're too kind. Is there anything else you need?"
"Commander Mu, let's exchange contact information. I'll trouble you again if I need anything in the future."
"good."
After exchanging contact information, the two walked out of the pavilion.
Upon seeing this, Lin Mengqian excitedly ran up to Mu Wanyao and asked for her autograph.
Fang Xian smiled awkwardly. He never expected that the arrogant Lin Mengqian would ask someone for an autograph. How interesting.
Seeing Fang Xian and Mu Wanyao walk out of the pavilion, Yukino ran up to Fang Xian and asked him with concern.
"Honey, have you two finished talking?"
"Yes, everything's taken care of."
Fang Xian affectionately stroked Yukino's head.
Yukino obediently allowed Fang Xian to stroke her, and even seemed to enjoy it.
She looked at Fang Xian with her big eyes, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.
Fang Xian noticed Yukino's unusual behavior and leaned closer to ask her.
"Yukino, is something on your mind?"
"N-nothing..."
Yukino turned her head away, her eyes darting away.
Fang Xian gently placed his hands on Yukino's shoulders, looked into her eyes, and said earnestly, "Yukino, feel free to tell your husband anything."
Yukino's eyes were glistening with tears, but she had a sweet smile on her face.
"Um... thank you, honey."
"Silly girl."
"Honey, I'll tell you later."
"good."
Having finished arranging things, You Longming slowly walked towards Fang Xian.
"Fang Xian, classmate."
Fang Xian greeted You Longming with a smile when he saw him.
"Mayor You, hello."
Fang Xian knew about You Longming. He had once hoped to use You Longming to reach high-ranking government officials and obtain more government rewards.
As for now, there's no need for that.
"Fang Xian, your villa has been destroyed. We can help you prepare a new villa. Where would you like to live? Anywhere is fine."
Fang Xian nodded.
"Thank you for your concern, Mayor You, but I'll stay here."
You Longming smiled knowingly and handed Fang Xian an access card.
"Fang Xian, here you go."
"This is a villa that Yun Jing Villa has prepared for you. You can move in directly when it's ready."
Fang Xian didn't stand on ceremony, accepted the access card, and thanked him.
"Thank you, Mayor You."
"You're welcome. By the way, Fang Xian, remember to participate in the national league in a month."
Previously, You Longming's best choice was Lin Mengqian, but now that he knows Fang Xian is so strong, he will definitely have to drag Fang Xian to participate in the competition.
Fang Xian knew about the national league, but with his current strength, he could easily be an examiner, so why would he go and bully newbies?
Before Fang Xian could answer, Mu Wanyao, who was standing to the side, had already seen through You Longming's little scheme and politely declined his suggestion.
"Mayor You, all information about Fang Xian is currently classified, and he is not suitable to participate in the national league."
"I see. That's such a pity."
You Longming chuckled and let it go.
"By the way, we gave a generous sum of money to everyone who saw this, and asked them to sign a confidentiality agreement to prevent the news from leaking out."
"Also, all the surveillance footage from that period has been deleted by us, and there will be no records left."
Mu Wanyao nodded, very satisfied with You Longming's work efficiency.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mayor You."
You Longming smiled, showing no sign of flattery.
"It's my duty, that's what I should do."
"It's getting late, Mayor You, we should head back."
"good."
You Longming followed behind Mu Wanyao, and only after they had walked a distance did he ask her a question.
"Commander Mu, how should we proceed with guarding Fang Xian's residence?"
Mu Wanyao seemed to be deep in thought; she knew You Longming's worries.
If the Dragon Kingdom wants to send someone to protect Fang Xian, only someone at level 90 or higher can be effective.
After all, the US made such a big fuss about its first assassination attempt on Fang Xian, even joining forces with Western countries to visit China to confuse the public, and even sending an 89th-level mage to take action. The scale of the operation was indeed a bit too large.
This is also one of their concerns: why would the United States use so much power to assassinate Fang Xian, who had just awakened?
Just because Fang Xian has an SP talent?
There must be something hidden behind this.
Could it be an order from the "Secret Realm"?
If that's the case, it does make sense.
"There's no need to send anyone to protect Fang Xian."
You Longming was a little surprised when he heard this, and blurted it out.
"Why?"
Mu Wanyao stopped in her tracks, a smile appearing on her face.
Because of him
"—Level 99"
You Longming stood there, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.
It took him a while to realize what was happening, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
You still want to protect Fang Xian?
At that point, it will be impossible to know who will be protecting whom.
...
"Beep!"
Fang Xian opened the door to the new villa, which was already fully furnished and had everything one could need.
"You should each find a room to rest."
Yukino, Lin Mengqian, and Liu Shishuang all nodded in agreement, but Tang Xiaowu was the only one who did not.
Tang Xiaowu felt a little guilty. It was because she was not on duty that Gabriel was able to launch a successful surprise attack without any obstacles. She couldn't make the same mistake again.
"I have to get back to my post and continue my work."
Yukino quickly spoke up, trying to persuade Tang Xiaowu to stay.
"Sister Xiaowu, how can you blame yourself? It's because that guy is too cunning."
Lin Mengqian stared dejectedly at the floor, clenching her fists.
"It's still my fault for being too weak and unable to help everyone..."
Liu Shishuang remained silent, a strange sense of powerlessness welling up inside her.
Fang Xian smiled slightly as he looked at their self-reproachful expressions.
"You don't need to be so discouraged. If you want to become stronger, you can do it now."
Upon hearing this, the four women all looked at Fang Xian, their beautiful eyes filled with hope.
Fang Xian took out an "Experience Dungeon Summoning Ticket" and a "Five Times Experience Card" from his "Storage Ring" and handed them to Tang Xiaowu.
They then activated the team mode and invited Tang Xiaowu, Xue Nai, Lin Mengqian, and Liu Shishuang to form a five-person team.
Fang Xian felt that the highest level in the world was level 99. After that, the experience would definitely overflow. It would be better to bring them all to a higher level so that he could become a full-time Awakener in the future.
Furthermore, the level 80 "Contract Master" has a team survival skill called "Life Link," so it's even more important to level them up so they can serve as his accessories.
"Alright, Xiao Wu, you'll be the one to start this experience dungeon."
"Starting tonight, we'll secretly develop and amaze everyone together."
[Ding! Tang Xiaowu consumed one "Experience Dungeon Summoning Ticket," and received 4,000 tickets back.]
