Chapter 140: Are You Calling Me a Demon?

Fang Che was perplexed, "Grandfather has a treasure map? What kind of treasure map?"

But then it suddenly dawned on him, and his face turned red as he exclaimed, "This information is false! My brother Su Dage is definitely not the kind of person you're describing! Anyone you ask in Green Wave City knows how good my brother Su Dage is to me! He's not here right now, so why are you slandering him?"

"Has something happened to my brother Su Dage?" Fang Che asked anxiously as he stood up.

"Right now, I'm the one asking the questions!" Xiang Xinghe's voice was stern.

"My brother Su Dage is a good person! No matter how you question me, my answer will always be the same, and it won't change!" Fang Che declared with righteousness.

"He's my good brother for life!"

Xiang Xinghe's eyes were like those of a hawk, and Fang Che met his gaze without fear.

His eyes were filled with honesty and integrity.

Xiang Xinghe spoke slowly, "But later, after the Su family was destroyed, it was discovered that they were originally a subordinate family of the Unified Heart Sect!"

Fang Che was taken aback by this revelation, "What?! I don't know about this!"

"Don't you know about this?"

"I don't know!" Fang Che exclaimed, his face covered in sweat. "I really don't know about this. How could my brother Su Dage's family be part of the Demon Sect? Although they treated him well, how could they possibly be from the Demon Sect? This..."

In his panic and haste, he unconsciously spoke in his dialect.

Xiang Xinghe humphed, "After the Su family left one night, they never returned. This includes your good brother, Su Yue."

"I don't know about this either."

Fang Che seemed to regain some composure.

"Before they left the city, your good brother Su Yue had visited you once. I want to know, what did he say to you that day?" Xiang Xinghe asked.

Xiang Xinghe's eyes were like those of a hawk.

"That day...?" Fang Che pondered for a while, and after some time, he remembered, "That day, I think I had just woken up after being knocked out by my cousin. Su Yue came to see me and brought..." At that time, I was still weak, and Su Yue seemed to have stayed for a while before leaving."

"So, what did you two talk about?" Xiang Xinghe inquired.

"We talked about... Su Yue laughed and asked me how I was feeling. I thanked him for coming, and he said that since we were brothers, we couldn't neglect the etiquette. I told him that he had come just in time to help me take a piss..."

Fang Che continued, "Su Yue said that since we were brothers, we couldn't neglect the etiquette. I told him that he had come just in time to help me take a piss..."

As Fang Che spoke, the faces of the listeners turned peculiar.

Until "...Su Yue said, then you rest, and after recovering from a serious illness, you should take good care of yourself. I'll be on my way. I asked Su Yue to stay a little longer, but he didn't agree. He smiled and said that we, as brothers, would have plenty of time in the future..."

Xiang Xinghe's mouth twitched, "Is that all?"

"That's all!"

"Just these family matters, and you remember them so clearly?"

"I remembered later that in the days after that, Su Yue's family encountered trouble, and then I often recalled the scene from that day."

Fang Che sighed, "It wasn't until much later that I learned Su Yue was safe, and I was overjoyed..."

Xiang Xinghe coughed to interrupt him.

"On the night the Su family left, you also left the city."

Xiang Xinghe asked, "Where did you go that night?"

Fang Che was perplexed, "Which night?"

"That night, you told your bodyguard that you were going to find a girl at the brothel, but in reality, you were lying! That night, you didn't go to the brothel at all. You went out for a walk and left the city after taking a turn outside."

"After leaving the city, no one knew where you went. Where did you go?" Xiang Xinghe's voice carried a sense of oppression.

"That night... Let me think, which night was it..."

Fang Che pondered, "I can't remember..."

"Then let me remind you. That night, you brought back a deer."

"Oh, oh, I remember now!"

Fang Che suddenly realized, "That night, it was like this. I was at home by myself, feeling idle after recently breaking through to the Samurai rank. I felt invincible and wanted to go hunting, also to relax since my mother wasn't home, and no one was watching over me."

"So, if you went hunting, why did you tell the bodyguard you were going to find a girl?"

"That bodyguard is too nosy!" Fang Che exclaimed.

"As the young master of the Fang family, why should I report to him where I'm going? He questioned me as soon as I entered. I told him I was going to find a girl. What business is it of his where I go?"

Fang Che scoffed, "Just watch the front gate, that's all you need to do. Why are you asking me where I'm going?"

"I was just trying to annoy him."

"Is there a problem with that?" Fang Che asked.

"There's a big problem. You lied to your family's bodyguard?"

"I lie to my mother too, is that a problem?"

"..." Xiang Xinghe's expression twisted.

"Weren't you seriously injured? And you still dared to go hunting?"

"What does my injury have to do with hunting? As a skilled Samurai, do I need to rest for several days after hunting?" Fang Che replied smoothly.

Xiang Xinghe had no choice but to change the subject, "So, where did you go?"

"I went to the mountains outside the city and brought back a deer for food."

"Does hunting a deer take two days?"

"I could spend ten days hunting."

Fang Che grew impatient. "Instructor, what's the issue here?"

Xiang Xinghe spoke, "It's highly suspicious. You left that night, and the Su family also left that same night. You returned, but they never did. And there's no way to track your movements after you left."

Fang Che replied calmly, "So you believe I killed the Su family?"

"At the very least, you're connected to them."

Fang Che said, "If you claim there's a connection, then present the evidence. Why ask me?"

He looked aggrieved and said, "I had just advanced to the first rank of the Samurai realm, and I was so happy that I went hunting. How could I possibly be connected to the life and death of a group of Grandmasters? That's truly bizarre."

Xiang Xinghe stated, "You might not be capable of it, but your master might be."

Fang Che spread his hands. "If you've investigated me, then you should know that I took my master after returning to the city. Before that, I didn't know my master."

Xiang Xinghe said, "Staging a play is quite convenient."

Fang Che let out a cold laugh. "Instructor, if you have evidence, present it. Whether it's testimonial or material, why make things difficult? I even suspect that you're a spy for the Only Me Sect. How do you prove yourself?"

He seemed to recall something and said, "Oh, earlier you mentioned that the Su family was affiliated with the Demon Sect. According to your logic, am I being framed for a crime? If so, I admit it without issue."

Xiang Xinghe's face turned ashen.

Zhao Shanhe coughed.

Xiang Xinghe immediately drew out a second piece of evidence and asked, "After the Su family's incident, you conspired to seize their property. How do you explain this?"

"How is this seizing property?" Fang Che exclaimed furiously.

"You're using someone else to safeguard the property for your own gain."

"Is that so? Do you have any evidence?"

Fang Che huffed, "All the Su family's property is being managed separately by me. I've compensated with equivalent or even more valuable Heavenly Treasures and Spirit Crystals. I can confidently say that the Su family's property in my hands is currently increasing in value."

"In the future, if Su Dage returns, I will hand over the property in its entirety, with growth, to him."

"Although Su Dage has given me permission to use it freely, but how could I, Fang Che, be so shameless?"

Xiang Xinghe scoffed, "You say all this, but do you have evidence?"

Fang Che opened and closed his mouth, mentioning evidence, and Xiang Xinghe finally regained some ground.

"Of course, there's evidence! The Palace Guardian issued a property confirmation at the time, and it was sealed with the official seal. This evidence and the property are currently in the Scholar's Residence, and you don't need to return to Green Wave City to see it."

Fang Che said, "I used a portion of the money and compensated with equivalent Heavenly Treasures and Spirit Crystals. I've listed everything separately, and it's all there to see. If there's a single lie, I willingly accept any punishment!"

Everyone was stunned.

Fang Che stood tall with no hint of shame.

This was not only his claim but also his action.

Indeed, he was currently using Spirit Crystals and Heavenly Treasures to make up for the Su family's property, listing each item with a detailed note.

For Fang Che, who was meticulous in his actions and had anticipated this loophole, it wasn't a difficult task.

He had long been prepared for someone to audit his accounts.

Xiang Xinghe's face darkened. "After you proposed to safeguard... I mean, manage the property, the Su family was exterminated. How do you explain this?"

Fang Che was at a loss for words. "Instructor, do you know what you're saying? It's common knowledge that the Su family's extermination was done by the Demon Sect. And you claim the Su family is affiliated with the Demon Sect. If they were, wouldn't it be their decision to silence or do as they please? Is it up to me?"

"Furthermore, you keep changing your story. One moment you say the Su family is with the Demon Sect, then you accuse me of being a criminal, and then you say I'm with the Demon Sect. Don't you think this is illogical and inconsistent?"

Xiang Xinghe suddenly fixed his gaze on Fang Che's eyes. "Your master, the Flying Blade King Sun Yuan, has been confirmed to be a member of the One Heart Sect of the Demon Sect!"

Fang Che was taken aback. "I didn't know that. My master treats me well."

"I'm talking about identity."

"Yes, and what about it? My master has exceptional martial arts skills and accepted me as his disciple. I'm very grateful, and secondly, do you think I have the ability or power to resist?"

"My master is the Blade King!"

"As for the identity you mentioned, what does that have to do with me? If my master is with the Demon Sect, so be it. If he's from the righteous sect, that's fine too... Instructor, what are you trying to say?"

Fang Che frowned and then realized, "You're implying that since my master is with the Demon Sect, I must be too?"
