Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Chapter 262 The Last Thing

"Huh? You two?" Seeing Ouyang Lingtian and Xia Liu having such a conversation, both Fang Huasheng and Yi Feng were astonished.

They definitely hadn't forgotten that before going to the Island Nation, these two groups were practically enemies.

Now, they seemed like brothers.

"At the end of the day, you're just the old man's soldier, and I'm his son-in-law!"

Fang Huasheng and Yi Feng almost fell over, Xia Liu was being so blunt in front of Ouyang Lingtian, it was terrifying.

However, what terrified them more was Ouyang Lingtian's response.

"Alright alright, you're impressive."

"Umm... your brains didn't get scrambled, did they?" Yi Feng weakly asked.

"Is Yi Feng asking for a spanking? Be careful, or Lingtian might hang you up and beat you."

"Hanging me up isn't nice, I prefer a more subtle approach, knock me out first then hang me."

Watching the two of them teasing each other, Yi Feng's face instantly took on a mournful look. What kind of people are these?

"Haha! I'm relieved to see you like this, go inside and rest." Observing the two for a while, Fang Huasheng laughed heartily, then pulled them into the cabin.

Not giving up, Yi Feng had to find out what had happened between Xia Liu and Ouyang Lingtian, so he went to consult Yan Min and Muzi.

Inside the ship's office, Fang Huasheng watched Xia Liu and Ouyang Lingtian with keen interest.

"Lingtian, report on the mission."

"Yes! The mission went very smoothly, all thanks to Xia Liu. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to return."

While saying this, Ouyang Lingtian also took out a USB drive and documents to give to Fang Huasheng.

"Very good! I indeed wasn't wrong about you." Looking at the documents and USB drive in the vacuum bag, Fang Huasheng's eyes narrowed into a smile.

"Xia Liu, what about you?" Then Fang Huasheng turned his attention to Xia Liu.

Even though the Demon Stone was slightly less important than the documents, either one was crucial for him to obtain.

"Me? I wasn't hurt, thanks for the old man's concern."

...

"That's not what I asked. Where is the Demon Stone?"

Fang Huasheng looked at Xia Liu disdainfully; if this guy was injured, that would be abnormal.

"Oh, the Demon Stone? I'll get it right now." Xia Liu said cheerfully while lifting up his shirt.

There, attached to his belly with transparent tape, was the Demon Stone.

"Is this it?" After receiving the Demon Stone, Fang Huasheng asked doubtfully.

Ouyang Lingtian was also surprised, watching Xia Liu. He had been present when the Demon Stone was retrieved and could confirm that there had been much more than this.

He knew a bit about the Demon Stone and had even tried breaking it open before, almost breaking his hands without even scratching it.

But looking now, it seemed Xia Liu had cut the Demon Stone in two!

This was absolutely inconceivable; what had he used to cut it?

"Just this bit, you know, old man, this thing is tough as nails, completely unbreakable by human effort without heavy cutting equipment."

Xia Liu said, spreading his hands in resignation.

Listening to Xia Liu, Fang Huasheng fell silent for a moment.

Indeed, what Xia Liu said was true; the Demon Stone was among the toughest, densest materials discovered.

Even large cutting machines would ruin several blades just to cut through it, and it would take days or even weeks.

"Forget it, let's just consider it as your reward." Fang Huasheng sighed in resignation.

Xia Liu, he knew his mentality well, this guy wouldn't come back empty-handed from such a trip, it just wouldn't be Xia Liu.

"No need for rewards, after resting a few days, I'll take Sister Fang back home."

"Hehe…"

Huh?

Seeing the smile on Fang Huasheng's face, Xia Liu shuddered.

He sensed that this old man wouldn't let him take Fang Fei home so easily.

"You want to take my granddaughter? It's not that simple," Fang Huasheng said slowly.

"Grandpa, that's not ethical. We clearly agreed that once I completed the task, I could take Sister Fang home. Now, what are you trying to do?"

Xia Liu suppressed his resentment and said softly.

This trip, he had risked his life to break the Sealing and had nearly been blown up several times.

And to be troubled further, it was incredibly frustrating to think about.

But, who made Fang Huasheng Fang Fei's grandfather…

Helpless sigh.

"I never said you only had to complete one task."

"Hahaha…" Hearing Fang Huasheng say that, Ouyang Lingtian couldn't help but burst into laughter.

As expected, the older the ginger, the spicier. At the time, he thought that as long as Xia Liu completed the task, he could take Fang Fei home.

Now it seems, the old man had more than one trick up his sleeve.

Xia Liu really felt like crying without tears, clearly lacking compared to this old man.

This meant, he would be delayed even longer before he could go home.

"Grandpa, I can't be away from home for too long, so just give me your orders later."

Xia Liu was eager to take Fang Fei home; she had been away so long, and he had settled things with the other girls, he wondered if she would be struck speechless…

"Hehe, no can do!" Fang Huasheng said with a slight smile and a very decisive rejection.

"Grandpa, how about this, just one last thing, and after that, I'll take Sister Fang home!"

Xia Liu knew this old man wouldn't let him have it too easy. Since he was adamant, Xia Liu insisted on being resolute too!

"Very well, it won't take too long, just five days at most, but let me make this clear, as the son-in-law of the Fang Family, you cannot stand by idly when I need you in the future."

"Of course, but you can't use this as an excuse to make me do things that Spearhead can handle."

Xia Liu didn't refuse, knowing that since Fang Fei was with him, he had to help with her family matters.

Not just Fang Fei, but the other girls too—if there were issues in their families, he definitely and absolutely had to step in and help.

"Of course, with your value being so high, I wouldn't dare ask you to handle simple matters."

Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire

Seeing the sly smile on Fang Huasheng's face, Xia Liu knew he was in trouble. If he had known, he would have set firm rules with this old man.

Now in this situation, what difference was there from joining Spearhead…

"Forget it, having Fang Huasheng as a shield, there shouldn't be anyone in Huaxia coming to bother me. Helping out is only right..."

Upon reflection, Xia Liu resigned himself, without knowing Fang Fei, Fang Huasheng probably wouldn't have spoken so candidly with him even if he knew his true heart.

"Tomorrow, you come with me to Yanjing, as the annual competition is about to start." Seeing Xia Liu's distressed look, Fang Huasheng finally disclosed the matter.

"A competition? Between Spearhead and Heaven Slaying?"

Ouyang Lingtian asked in amazement.

"Yes, I always wanted to pull you into Spearhead after seeing your excellent performances over the years, and now I can finally have my wish fulfilled." Fang Huasheng said with some emotion.

In past competitions, Spearhead always ended up in total defeat, but this time with Ouyang Lingtian and Xia Liu, tsk tsk!

"Grandpa, wouldn't that be a bit like bullying the small if I went?"

"Xia Liu, don't underestimate it, my master is the head coach of Heaven Slaying. If you don't pull out the Spirit Stabilizing Needle, it might be tough..."
