Chapter 712 - 298: Overpass, Rainy Day, Maybach...
"Understood!"
Everyone was eager and ready.
...
The time quickly came to the early morning of the next day.
Fang Qingyu arrived early at the still bustling warehouse entrance and found Liu San, who was directing the loading of the last few machines with two dark circles under his eyes.
"Today, I want to take a day off with the brothers to go around the city and get familiar with the environment."
Fang Qingyu got straight to the point.
Without thinking, Liu San instantly patted his chest, his face filled with enthusiasm and even a hint of flattery: "No problem at all! Absolutely not! Brother Yu! You all go have fun! Relax! I’ll have someone else take over patrol duty! Don’t worry! Do you have enough money? If not, I have some more here..."
Saying that, he was about to reach into his pocket.
Fang Qingyu quickly waved his hand: "It’s enough, it’s enough."
"That’s fine then." Liu San smiled, "You guys have a good time."
But just after finishing, Liu San again turned serious and said: "But if there’s any movement from the Blood Wolf Gang, I’ll still need you all to come back..."
"Of course."
Fang Qingyu nodded, saying no more.
After leaving the warehouse, the others had already left.
In front of the dormitory building, only Jiang Wei stood quietly waiting for him.
The early morning light was cast on the tips of her fiery red hair, reflecting off her fair profile.
She had changed into a black tracksuit convenient for movement, her posture upright, clear red eyes looking at Fang Qingyu.
Fang Qingyu walked towards the rented motorcycle parked by the roadside.
Gray Crystals a day, cheaper than taking a taxi, and more mobile and flexible.
He straddled the motorcycle, started the engine, and the roar echoed through the morning streets.
Fang Qingyu patted the back seat: "Get on."
Jiang Wei nodded, lightly sitting sideways on.
She hesitated for a moment, but still lightly wrapped her arms around Fang Qingyu’s waist, her body naturally leaning closer.
Fang Qingyu’s body stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment.
Then quickly returned to normal.
"Hold on tight."
Fang Qingyu reminded, releasing the clutch, and the motorcycle shot forward like a black leopard, merging into the gradually waking traffic of Gray Rock District.
The roar of the engine was particularly clear in the relatively quiet morning streets.
The motorcycle sped onto the elevated expressway connecting the outer city to the inner city.
The view instantly broadened.
Below were intersecting streets, lined buildings, and in the distance, the towering skyscrapers of the inner city, brightly lit.
The sharp wind blew against them, flapping their hair and clothes.
The motorcycle sped along the flat and wide road.
Jiang Wei gently held Fang Qingyu’s waist, her body swaying slightly with the motorcycle’s turns.
Her chin was almost touching Fang Qingyu’s shoulder.
After a moment of silence, her clear voice rang through the roar of the engine and the whistling wind, clearly reaching Fang Qingyu’s ears:
"How’s the Heart Sutra I gave you... coming along?"
Fang Qingyu was slightly taken aback and replied.
"I’m about to enter the first level soon."
Saying this, Fang Qingyu glanced at the progress chart.
[Detected Wuxiang Heart Sutra Fragment First Realm, Activating (99/100)]
This Heart Sutra, Fang Qingyu never missed a practice, whenever convenient, he would practice a bit before sleeping, initially because it was given by Jiang Wei.
Later, it was because Fang Qingyu gradually felt the magical nature of this Heart Sutra...
Because whether as a martial artist, or a martial arts grandmaster, or having awakened a new Tier Three profession, the speed of practicing this Heart Sutra was as slow as a snail, painfully slow.
This instead ignited a competitive spirit in Fang Qingyu.
Also curious about what benefits there would be when he mastered the Heart Sutra.
After all, this was the cultivation technique Fang Qingyu had practiced the longest.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, the clear red eyes of Jiang Wei behind immediately lit up, like two bright red gems.
On her cold face, a rare extremely bright smile bloomed.
The smile was like an ice lotus suddenly blossoming on a mountain, pure and dazzling.
The arm around Fang Qingyu’s waist, instinctively tightened.
Her body pressed even closer to Fang Qingyu’s back.
The scent of a young girl lightly brushed past Fang Qingyu’s ear.
Leaning close to Fang Qingyu’s ear, she said
"Then hurry up and master it quickly."
"Once you master it, I’ll..."
Before she finished speaking.
Buzz!!!
A deep and aggressive roar of an engine.
Suddenly rang out from the right side of their motorcycle without any warning.
At the same time, a luxury car with a sleek black body smoothly cut in from the side behind them.
Moving swiftly.
Nearly brushing against the right side of Fang Qingyu’s motorcycle.
Fang Qingyu’s pupils slightly contracted.
The body’s instinctive reaction far surpassed his thoughts.
In the nick of time.
He sharply twisted the handlebars to the right.
At the same time, he stomped heavily on the rear brake.
Screeee—!!!
The tires scraped violently against the ground, emitting an ear-piercing screech.
The black motorcycle, under immense inertia, swung its tail sharply to the left.
Narrowly avoiding the Maybach’s front, which was almost colliding!
The significant centrifugal force caused the bike to tilt steeply.
Fang Qingyu’s knee was nearly scuffed on the ground.
The body of Jiang Wei on the back seat also jolted sharply, her arm around Fang Qingyu’s waist tightened instantly.
Just as Fang Qingyu barely stabilized the bike, still shaken.
The side Maybach, almost parallel with them, had its right rear window glass silently sliding down like a stage curtain.
As the window lowered.
Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei’s gaze simultaneously penetrated that brief gap, locking onto the scene inside the car...
Not as expected, no driver’s face filled with panic.
