The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 248 Meet again

"Fang Mu!"

Early in the morning, Xiu, Cao Cao, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and Xiao Qiao were waiting for Fang Mu at the gate of the Eastern Han Academy. When they saw Fang Mu and Han Sui and Li Jue behind him, Xiao Qiao waved her arms excitedly.

After that, they saw another unexpected person behind Fang Mu - Lu Bu!

"Brother Fang...uh...Principal!"

When Cao Cao saw Fang Mu's familiar face, he subconsciously called Fang Mu "Brother Fang" again. However, he immediately thought of the difference in their status, and quickly changed his words, bowing respectfully to Fang Mu.

"Okay, President, when there are no outsiders around, let's just use the old name!"

Fang Mu didn't expect that the very strong-willed Cao Cao would be so servile to him now. It seemed that Cao Cao was dealt a heavy blow by his taking over the Eastern Han Academy.

"The principal is joking. Cao Cao really doesn't dare to be disrespectful to the principal!"

Cao Cao bowed to Fang Mu again. His look made Zhang Fei, who was standing beside him and was carefree, very uncomfortable. He put his arm around Cao Cao's shoulders and said.

"Old Cao, don't you always talk about Fang Mu to us? Why are you so distant now that Fang Mu is in front of you?"

"Nonsense, I don't have any!"

After hearing what Zhang Fei said, Cao Cao's face turned red and he quickly denied it.

"That's right, President. Even though the master has become the principal now, he's still the same master. He used to be so prominent and yet he was willing to be friends with us. I don't believe he won't recognize us now that he's the principal!"

Ma Chao and Huang Zhong smiled at each other. As good friends for many years, they understood the preciousness of friendship best.

"Ma Chao is right, President. In my heart, you will always be the president of the Donghan Academy Student Union. You have been in the past, and you will always be in the future!"

Cao Cao was deeply moved by Fang Mu's words. He quickly apologized to Fang Mu and said that he would cook for Fang Mu himself tonight to make amends.

As for Lu Bu, everyone saw that he looked like he was obeying Fang Mu's orders, and they tacitly did not take the initiative to talk to him. Besides, Lu Bu was also very engaged in chatting with Han Sui and Li Jue, and had no intention of greeting the Five Tiger Generals.

The group arrived at the Cao family compound, talking and laughing, where Fang Mu saw another familiar face.

"Ashanti!"

"Fang Mu?!"

The two called each other's names. Compared to Fang Mu, Ah Xiang seemed more surprised. She didn't expect Xiu to call Fang Mu over as well. After all, Jiangdong and Xiliang had some unpleasantness just a few days ago.

However, looking at Cao Cao's face, the two of them tacitly did not mention what happened between them a few days ago. After greeting each other, Ah Xiang took Xiao Qiao to talk about family matters, while Fang Mu followed the group into the kitchen to watch Cao Cao "show off his skills"!

Because it was a reunion after a long separation, there was no unpleasantness in the conversation at the dinner table. Even when Zhang Fei bravely challenged Lu Bu to a drinking contest, Lu Bu readily agreed.

It was not until three rounds of drinks had passed and everyone was satisfied that the atmosphere at the table gradually calmed down.

"So what happened to Guan Yu's body?"

Fang Mu looked at Xiu. Even though they had met again after a long separation, Guan Yu stayed in his room and did not come down to eat with everyone. Diao Chan had selected some of his meals in advance and sent them to his room. He did not show up in public during the whole process.

"To be honest, my second brother might have gone crazy!"

Xiu said with a serious expression that his words conveyed completely different meanings to Ah Xiang and the others and to Fang Mu. As Fang Mu had been through so many things with him, he knew that Fang Mu could hear the hidden meaning in his words.

But what Xiu didn't expect was that Fang Mu's expression didn't seem that surprised, and he still remained calm.

"When did Guan Yu begin to show signs of being possessed?"

"this…"

Cao Cao and Xiu looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth and spoke.

"It was half a month ago!"

When Ah Xiang heard Xiu say that Guan Yu became possessed half a month ago, her face turned pale. As smart as she was, she immediately thought of the two martial arts books her father asked her to give to Guan Yu half a month ago. Could it be that the problem was with those two books?

"So you suspect Guan Yu will go astray because there's something wrong with the two manuals I gave him?"

Ah Xiang asked in disbelief. She didn't want to believe that her father would do such a thing.

But everyone's gazes were like sharp thorns that pierced deeply into her heart. Although no one said that it was Ah Xiang's problem, judging from the possibility of time, the two martial arts books she gave to Guan Yu were very likely the root of the problem.

"Can you lend me those two manuals?"

Fang Mu said softly, in fact, he had already guessed what the two books of martial arts were, but unexpectedly Cao Cao shook his head.

"Because Diao Chan was ridiculed, Yu began to practice diligently day and night after obtaining the two manuals. After he became possessed, he regarded the two manuals as his life and always carried them with him. We had considered looking for the cause in the two manuals on him before, but we never had the chance to investigate!"

"Actually... I have a backup here!"

Ah Xiang suddenly raised a hand and spoke softly, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Because I was very curious about what martial arts could affect one's appearance, I secretly kept a copy of the information and prepared to study it myself!"

"Have you read those two manuals?"

Xiu asked anxiously, his eyes full of concern.

"No, no! Because there were some things that needed to be dealt with in Jiangdong recently, I didn't have time to watch..."

As Ah Xiang spoke, she unconsciously looked at Fang Mu, but fortunately, everyone's attention was attracted by Xiu's excited expression and no one noticed Ah Xiang's gaze.

As Lu Bu and the other two knew the whole story, they were tactful enough not to say anything more.

"Show it to us!"

Cao Cao immediately took out the computer and logged into Crisis Encyclopedia, while Ah Xiang also took off the siman in her hand. After Cao Cao took it, he connected Ah Xiang's siman to the computer.

"By checking the files through Crisis Encyclopedia, if there are indeed problems with these two exercises, Crisis Encyclopedia can issue a timely warning before the side effects take effect on us!"

While entering the data, Cao Cao explained to his brothers that as the countdown ended on the computer, the two files hidden in A Xiang Siman appeared on the screen.

"These are the two, right?"

Cao Cao moved the mouse slightly, and a huge skull filled the entire screen...
