But thinking of Wu Lvzhu's brief awakening, and her absolute trust in Diao Deyi.

Hesitating a bit, An Menyi finally nodded and said.

"Alright, since you've cultivated to this level, we shall consider the cultivation technique for Qi as a reward for your promotion to Demon Foot."

"Thank You, Lord Hall Master!"

Fang Yu quickly performed a ceremonial bow.

His main goal for this journey was smoothly achieved.

Fang Yu felt somewhat excited.

He had just gotten quite a few attribute points, and if things went well, he might directly be able to cultivate the technique.

While Fang Yu was secretly thrilled, he suddenly heard An Menyi say.

"By the way, Diao Deyi, do you think there are people from the Lin Family who might be transformed demons?"

Fang Yu was immediately stunned.

Is that even a question?

That Lin Xiaoyun with thirty thousand blood, he had seen her several times already, even acting alongside Brother Qing.

But could he expose this?

If this guy gets exposed and involves Brother Qing, wouldn't that cause trouble?

Wait! No, that's not right!

Fang Yu suddenly realized something.

Wu Lvzhu's brief awakening...

The mysterious assessment mission of the Reserve Deputy Captain...

"Lord...are you planning to launch an attack on the Lin Family?"

An Menyi gave him a mysterious smile.

"Yes. This operation will involve many people from the Foolish Underworld; considering your identity, it's hard to avoid, and we don't intend to let you avoid it. I'll be straightforward with you, Wu Lvzhu indeed trusts you a lot, but the other Hall Masters, including myself, are still watching. If you can provide more information now, or perform well during the operation, it can increase our trust in you. Also... you haven't answered my question yet."

After finishing, An Menyi stared directly at him.

"Choose your words carefully, your next response might change my opinion of you, or even retract what I was just about to give you."

In his threatening tone, there was a hint of murderous intent.

Fang Yu was shocked and slightly bowed his head to avoid direct confrontation.

Now he understood.

Apart from Wu Lvzhu, other Hall Masters didn't trust him much, treating him merely as a typical undercover agent, not with Wu Lvzhu's special treatment.

Therefore, everything still depends on performance, on achievements, to prove his loyalty.

After brief contemplation, Fang Yu knew what he had to do.

Concerning the cultivation technique for Qi, he must take some risk.

Ultimately, the association between Lin Xiaoyun and Brother Qing was actually very low; exposing Lin Xiaoyun should pose no problem, provided that... it must be ensured that Lin Xiaoyun does not spread any rumors and is executed on the spot.

Only a dead demon can truly keep a secret.

Having decided, Fang Yu pretended to be uneasy and spoke.

"Lord, I have just been promoted to Demon Foot today; the information I have is very limited, and I do not know much about the Lin Family situation. However, during the chaotic fight between the Lin Family and the Li Family, Lin Xiaoyun, who led the Lin team, was very conspicuous, and I feel that this person might be a transformed demon. But it's only a speculation, I dare not conclude rashly. As for other members of the Lin Family, I don't have much impression, so I'm not really sure."

Lin Xiaoyun?

An Menyi was struck with a thought.

It seemed that during the recent chaos between the Lin Family and the Li Family, this third young master of the Lin Family was indeed frequently visible.

An Menyi had not thought much about it, but now that Fang Yu mentioned it, he also felt something was amiss.

But that's the third young master of the Lin Family!

Wait! No, that's not right. Even Lin Ye, the major steward of the Lin Family, could be a transformed demon, then why would the third young master matter?

But if all this were true, the infiltration within the Lin Family could be described as riddled with holes!

What's more terrifying is that without this incident, they might have been kept in the dark, completely unaware of such a major change within the Lin Family.

This is indeed the scariest part!

And the credit for discovering all this naturally goes to the man before him... Diao Deyi.

After today, whether to make greater use of Diao Deyi, or to execute him on the spot, the Lin Family will give the answer.

With a softer expression, An Menyi smiled and said.

"No need to be so nervous, considering your previous demon status, not touching upon higher-level matters is normal. Now that you have become a Demon Foot, you must gather more information on demons and provide us with more demon news."

"I will not fail your expectations, Lord!"

"Very well, you may leave now. Regarding the cultivation technique, I will have someone take you to choose it later."

Fang Yu's eyes brightened.

"Yes!"

He then exited the room and only after closing the door did Fang Yu take a breath of relief behind the door.

Dealing with these Hall Masters really puts a lot of pressure on a person.

Fortunately, they are willing to give what I want, otherwise this trip would have been in vain.

As for the Foolish Underworld's plan to attack the Lin Family...

Fang Yu hesitated in his mind, conflicted about whether to tip off the demons.

But soon, he made a decision.

Not a single word about it!

As a member under the Reserve Deputy Captain, normally, it's likely that the action would begin before the Reserve Deputy Captain informed his subordinates of the mission details.

And for himself, theoretically, he should know nothing before that.

By the time the action started and the intelligence was known, everyone would already be at the Lin Family's place, it would be too late to spread the word, let alone carry out the mission.

Since the mission isn't targeting the Green Demon, Fang Yu couldn't be bothered to care more.

The demons on that side are arrogant; it's about time they suffered a bit.

Fang Yu contemplated, then pushed open the door of the next room.

"Ding Hui."

...

After Fang Yu left, several figures appeared beside An Menyi, clearly the other Hall Masters.

"An Menyi, you speak too bluntly," said Ye Zhongyu, the Dark Hall Master.

An Menyi just smiled, not arguing back, but instead counter-asked.

"What do you all think about Diao Deyi?"

"Still trustworthy."

"Wu Lvzhu trusts him, so let's trust him for now."

"From the current signs, the likelihood of the Lin Family having issues is far greater than that of Diao Deyi having issues."

Each Hall Master spoke, making An Menyi sigh.

"Yes, the Lin Family is the big issue that needs probing."

"So, when do we act?"

"We start after nightfall, speed is of the essence to catch the Lin Family off guard."

"Good."

In just a few words, the timing of the action was decided, the rest of the details had already been discussed earlier, no need to bring it up again.

"By the way, Diao Deyi wants a Cultivation Technique for Qi, what do you all think?"

"Diao Deyi's strength is probably just beyond the grass stage, isn't that too early?"

"There are geniuses in the grass stage who cultivate Qi, it's just that this guy is of humble origin, probably doesn't have such methods of cultivation, that's why he came to us."

"There's nothing to consider, just give it to him. We can give him the technique, and we can take his life."

"Wu Lvzhu trusts him, so I trust him. If he messes up, I'll be the first to personally take him down."

"Don't give him the top-tier 'Purple Qi Technique', let him pick from the mid-tier and low-tier Qi cultivation techniques."

"Sure."

...

Next room.

"As far as I know, the strongest Qi Cultivation Technique in the Foolish Underworld is the 'Purple Qi Technique'. It's said that the Martial Arts of the Hall Masters are variants based on the 'Purple Qi Technique'. However, this technique is generally only qualified for the current or next Hall Master to cultivate. It shouldn't concern you; rather, the captain of the Yangshen Hall, Zhang Zhenyi, is probably cultivating this technique."

The information from Ding Hui is always extensive.

Even such news is known.

"Don't look at me like that, some people who want to deal with me voluntarily provide information, it's not like I want to hear it."

Ding Hui showed a face of disdain.

Obviously, besides her research, she really isn't interested in anything else, let alone such gossip.

"Here, take the fragmentary manuscript you wanted. I searched for it for a long time."

Watching Ding Hui hand over the dirty manuscript, Fang Yu shivered and quickly took it.

"Thank you!"

Fang Yu sincerely said.

But was met only with a sound.

"Hmph."

Proud, tsundere?

While still puzzled, he saw Ding Hui suddenly lean in and whisper in his ear.

"Dear husband, if you truly appreciate it, sleep with me tonight."

"Tonight? I have things to do tonight, you and second sister go to sleep first, I'll come back later."
