Chapter 102: A Major Event is About to Happen!

"Whether it's important or not, one must not be impolite."

Fang Che smiled and suddenly turned serious, "I must first apologize to the teacher here. Last time, I sought guidance from the teacher for so long, yet I didn't even ask for the teacher's name. This is a student's impoliteness."

The old man chuckled, "What impoliteness is this? Even I've almost forgotten my own name."

He squinted his eyes, looked up, and countless sword lights seemed to flash through his gaze. Then he closed his eyes again. In a soft voice, he said, "My surname is Shen, the Shen of divine beings. You can just call me Elder Shen. As for my name, I won't mention it. This broken body has tarnished my ancestors' prestige!"

Fang Che nodded silently, "The surname Shen is indeed rare."

Elder Shen took two big gulps of wine, "This wine is truly exceptional."

Leaning on the wine, he closed his eyes, suppressing all the emotions that arose from mentioning his surname and the memories of the past.

Only then did he open his eyes, exhaling a mouthful of wine, "As a useless person, I cannot speak of the past."

Fang Che was puzzled, "Is Elder Shen's injury really that severe? Is there no hope for recovery at all?"

"There's naturally hope."

Elder Shen said calmly, "At the time, there were three people facing the crisis with me. One of them has already died. Another's cultivation plummeted by three ranks, but there's still hope for him to cultivate anew. The third person bore the corpse poison for us; he endured it all by himself. It's said that later, a guardian obtained the Corpse King's Inner Pill and helped suppress it, preventing the root of the poison from taking hold. It was forced into one of his legs, and he's been suppressing it with pills ever since."

"If you want to eradicate it completely, just cut off the leg, but he's unwilling to die..."

"As for me, I had the highest cultivation at the time and bore the brunt of it. My foundation was completely destroyed. The Martial Academy communicated with the upper echelons, and then they sought out Lord Eastern Nine."

When Elder Shen mentioned 'Lord Eastern Nine', his face showed reverence, and he sat upright, bowing respectfully to the north before continuing, "Lord Eastern Nine didn't have a good solution either, but he gave me a Longevity Pill."

Fang Che lowered his head and drank his wine, concealing the shock in his heart.

Lord Eastern Nine!

He had heard this name that shook the world again!

"With this Longevity Pill, anyone's life can be extended by a thousand years!"

Elder Shen chuckled, "So I can't even die if I want to. I can only linger on, waiting for hope."

"Lord Eastern Nine said that once he obtained the spiritual medicine, he would send it to me to restore my origin, but the medicine to restore my origin..."

Elder Shen continued, "We don't have it because there's no divine energy in this world!"

"Only the headquarters of the Only Me Sect has some of the essence of divine energy."

"How difficult!"

"Moreover, even if we obtained it, who would think of me, this old man hidden in the White Cloud Martial Academy with an inconspicuous reputation? There are so many powerful cultivators on the continent waiting for this essence of divine energy."

"Besides, I've already enjoyed a Longevity Pill."

Elder Shen smiled and raised his wine cup, "I won't ask for more. It's been so many years."

"I understand."

Fang Che secretly noted the words 'divine energy source'.

The Only Me Sect has it?

After three rounds of wine.

Elder Shen finally started to speak, exhaling the wine, "You came here today, surely you have something to ask me. Go ahead."

Since Fang Che followed the proper etiquette, Elder Shen also adhered to it.

In social gatherings with wine, it's taboo to bring up matters right away. One must wait until after three rounds of wine, which is the time for pleasantries, or as they say, the time to get things done.

"It's like this, there's something I don't understand."

Fang Che spoke thoughtfully, "A classmate has a situation that I'm not sure about."

"What situation?"

Elder Shen didn't seem to care.

What major situation could a group of new martial arts students have?

"A classmate once offended me, but at the time, I didn't pay much attention to him. I just slightly provoked him."

Fang Che narrated the incident in the Black Pine Forest and then mentioned the Wisdom Blood Spirit Ginseng.

Elder Shen burst into laughter, shaking his head repeatedly, "You're quite sinister, young man!"

"Later, when I arrived at the Martial Academy, I saw this kid suddenly turn dark, skinny, and eerie. Originally, he was a fair-skinned scholar, the scumbag type, and this drastic change surprised me. So, I took the opportunity to beat him up a few times."

Fang Che frowned, "Each time I beat him, I felt he was darker than before. Eventually, after several beatings, the black aura on his face seemed to rise, forming a faint mist in front of his face. The last time I beat him, the black mist rose, and through it, I could vaguely make out a face, not Wei Zixiao's face, but a face formed by the mist, very strange..."

Bang!

Elder Shen suddenly stood up, his movement was so forceful that he knocked over the wine bowl in front of him. His eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, staring at Fang Che.

His eyeballs almost popped out.

His face was filled with shock and terror.

Fang Che was startled, "Elder Shen... this, you? What... what's wrong?"

Elder Shen's expression was frightening, sweat poured from his forehead, and the wine he drank seemed to turn into cold sweat, flowing out.

Fang Che could clearly see that the old man's chest was quickly soaked in sweat.

Elder Shen grabbed Fang Che's collar and asked anxiously, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure!" Fang Che replied.

"How many times did you hit him?"

"Around... ten times, I think?"

"And the dark aura is getting thicker?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't anyone else notice it? Only you?" Elder Shen inquired.

"I'm not sure either," Fang Che admitted.

"That dark mist seems to hide from others, or perhaps it only manifests under certain mental states or emotions... But I don't know the exact reason," Fang Che explained.

"Elder Shen, is there a problem?" Fang Che asked.

"The problem... it's a big problem!" Elder Shen exclaimed.

Elder Shen's breathing became rapid, "This damn thing, damn it... it's going to cause a huge problem!"

The old man took a deep breath, "Who is your instructor?"

He stood up and started pacing in the room, saying, "No, your instructor isn't good enough."

He hurried back to his bedroom, walking so fast that he tripped and fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Fang Che was startled and quickly helped him up.

"The bed!" Elder Shen said in a low but stern voice, sounding anxious.

There was even a hint of fear in his tone.

By the bed, there was a string connected to an unknown location.

The old man practically lunged towards it, grabbing the string and pulling it down forcefully.

A faint bell rang, then quickly disappeared.

Elder Shen's body trembled slightly, and he held onto Fang Che's arm as he slowly walked out of the bedroom and sat down at the table again. Looking at the table filled with fine wine and delicacies, he suddenly felt as if something was stuck in his throat.

He couldn't eat or drink.

Staring intently at Fang Che, he said, "Fang Che, I hope what you're saying isn't true!"

Fang Che was also at a loss, "How could this be fake?"

Just then, three people appeared in the room.

Fang Che turned around and was thoroughly startled.

Huang Yifan! Gao Qingyu! Meng Hejun! The three individuals with the highest status and cultivation in Baiyun Martial Academy, and also part of the Guardian sequence! In other words, if the sky were to fall, these three would be the most reliable people!

"Lady Meng is also here," Elder Shen said, standing up in surprise.

Lady Meng's beautiful face carried a gentle smile, "I just returned last night, just in time for your bell ringing after two hundred years."

Huang Yifan swallowed his saliva, "Elder Shen, you prepared good wine and food, and then you rang the bell to bring us here to drink with you? Not bad, not bad. I haven't even had dinner yet."

He pulled over two chairs, offering one to Lady Meng and then sitting down on the other without ceremony. He waved his hand, and several large bowls flew over. He grabbed a wine jar and started pouring wine.

As for Gao Qingyu, who was still standing, the current leader of Baiyun Martial Academy didn't bother with him.

Gao Qingyu didn't pay attention to these minor details. His eyes were fixed on Elder Shen's face, noticing the cold sweat that hadn't dried on his face and body. He furrowed his brows and asked, "Is that sweat?"

He pulled over a chair and sat down, asking, "What happened?"

Then, all three of them looked at Fang Che simultaneously, "Does this have something to do with this kid?"

Elder Shen smiled bitterly, "Yes. Sit down and let's talk."

Lady Meng also sat down gracefully. With five people around a small table, it suddenly felt a bit crowded.

"What's this kid doing here?" Huang Yifan asked, looking at Fang Che.

Fang Che had already stood up.

He never expected that his discovery would cause Elder Shen to summon three important figures.

Fang Che's mind was in a state of chaos, not understanding what was happening.

Huang Yifan waved his hand, "You can go now. There's nothing for you to do here."

Huang Yifan knew something, and he still had doubts about Fang Che's identity—was he really an insider from the Unified Heart Sect? Over time, as more discoveries were made, Fang Che's role as an insider seemed to become more and more solid.

This made Huang Yifan even more uncertain.

Especially after meeting Dong Fang Sansan and receiving her warning that 'Fang Che is a good person', this thought had long since disappeared. (See Chapter 29, Part 2, for more details on the four instructors.)

Huang Yifan firmly believed: Anyone in the world could be wrong, but Dong Fang Sansan would never be wrong.

So, his thoughts about Fang Che were leaning towards the idea of a 'veteran insider'.

Now, he feared that Elder Shen had discovered Fang Che's secret, which might prevent them from utilizing this lead in the future. That's why he was in a hurry to send this guy away.

But...

"He can't leave!" Elder Shen immediately objected.

"All the clues are on him. How can he leave?" Huang Yifan's forehead broke out in sweat.

What a statement!

This old guy must have discovered Fang Che's secret. Why are you so stupid, directly revealing that all the clues are on him?

Are you trying to scare him away? Huang Yifan signaled to Elder Shen and said, "He's just a new student. What's he doing here? Go, go quickly."

Elder Shen angrily said, "Why are you rushing me to send him away? Do you know something that makes you want to get rid of him?"

Huang Yifan's face was covered in anxious sweat, "I... I..."
