Chapter 149: That's His Fate
Chapter 149: That's His Fate
Dong Sansan smiled faintly, "From a grand strategic perspective, we made a misstep. But considering the intricate and unpredictable situation below, especially after your appearance, this is truly a blessing."
"Everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and so it is in this case. After they established their nation, New Chu became the focal point. Since they've founded a country, they'll have their own national fortune. Hence, the peak experts of the Only Me Sect, along with all the forces at headquarters, are rallying around this newly established nation."
"In this situation, we can't afford to pay attention to the various sects below."
"So, during this period, the sects affiliated with the Only Me Sect have the best opportunity to take advantage. And what you need is to grow within these sects during this time!"
"It also gives us the chance to erase your past."
"Their chaotic nation-building process also provides you and your generation with time to grow."
"Especially, it gives you time to grow."
"Once they stabilize their formation, and you, on the other hand, will likely have already stabilized. This is the greatest blessing!"
Dong Sansan said, "Therefore, after reconsidering this matter, I realized it's definitely not a bad thing. And we can take this opportunity to strike a blow to their subordinate sects across the entire continent!"
"So, from now on, if we act according to this idea, it becomes a blessing."
Dong Sansan smiled, holding the wisdom in his grasp.
Fang Che was thoroughly impressed and deeply admired him.
The intelligence of this Guardian's chief strategist was indeed beyond ordinary people.
He often felt that he was well-connected, borrowing strength from all sides, and jumping back and forth in the complex relationship between friends and foes. His intellect was already considered mature and impressive.
However, when compared to Dong Sansan, he suddenly felt like a child playing a game.
He was merely doing his own thing, while Dong Sansan was truly capable of turning the clouds with one hand and summoning the rain with the other.
Controlling both the righteous and evil factions.
This ability was something Fang Che had never seen in his past or present life, except for this one person!
Finally, Dong Sansan patted Fang Che's shoulder and said warmly, "I know you're worried about your family. Don't worry, I'm here."
Fang Che's heart warmed.
Dong Sansan sighed, "The soldiers sacrifice their lives without regard for death. If we lose the rear, how incompetent would we be?"
...
Meng He Jun, Li Changkong, Gao Qingyu, Meng Chizheng, Lu Jiaoshan, Xiang Xinghe, and others were all waiting outside the palace.
Their faces were filled with solemnity.
There was also an old man waiting.
He was from the Yu family, called by Yu Zhongge, but unfortunately, he was a step too late, as Fang Che had already been taken to the Heart-Testing Path.
Outside the teaching building entrance.
Yu Zhongge, Mo Gaiyun, Jing Shuanggao, Qiu Yunshang, and Ding Jieren were all waiting.
Xie Gongping was also waiting alone at a distance.
He looked a bit pitiful.
He wanted to come over and wait with the others, but the others firmly refused.
When he approached a little closer, Mo Gaiyun almost struck him! So, he had to sit far away.
In the deeper part of the forest.
Wu Zhibing and Hua Kai Jun Hefang were also there, watching this scene.
They had confirmed that they would be leading a team with Fang Che in the future, and they were naturally very concerned, waiting for the approval from the Martial Academy.
"Will this guy be able to return?" Jun Hefang looked at the lonely Xie Gongping.
"The rift has already been created. Even if he returns, it won't be the same as before."
Wu Zhibing said, "He might have realized something in his heart and that's why he's so persistent. But it's too late."
Hua Kai sighed, "Do you think Fang Che will be able to come out safely?"
"Not necessarily."
Wu Zhibing's face showed regret, "This Fang Che is the only one I've seen who has cultivated to this level with the status of a Ninth Rank Clan affiliate. Among the new students at the White Cloud Academy, he stands above all others. He's truly a talent. If he's ruined like this, it's such a pity."
"I heard it was a report from a major clan. Among Fang Che's brothers, who do you think is the most likely to have reported him?"
Jun Hefang asked.
"Among the remaining few, those who have the qualifications to report and cause such consequences are none other than Yu Zhongge, Mo Gaiyun, Jing Shuanggao, and Qiu Yunshang."
Wu Zhibing shook his head uncertainly, "It's really hard to tell right now. But... if the person is indeed among them, Yu Zhongge has the highest probability. Because only he called for family members to plead."
Hua Kai sighed, "Why? Isn't he the one who is most anxious and worried about his brothers?"
"If he reported it, he could win the hearts of the others."
Wu Zhibing calmly said, "Thus, confirming his supreme status in the hearts of the others. If Fang Che is disabled, then Yu Zhongge will become the absolute core of this group."
"Isn't this reason and benefit enough?"
Jun Hefang grimaced, "Damn, your hearts are truly filthy."
Wu Zhibing remained indifferent, "This is something that must be considered. Do you think this is a place isolated from the secular world? This is the Jianghu!"
Jun Hefang said, "Anyway, in my personal opinion, it won't be one of these people.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's my intuition!" Jun Hefang said, "You all know how accurate my intuition is."
"It's because you're staring!"
Wu Zhibing fell into deep thought. It was clear that he trusted Jun Hefang's intuition, and he muttered, "If it wasn't these people, then this matter becomes quite interesting."
He continued, "After all, there are other members from major clans among the new students, but their talents have temporarily overshadowed them. And those people obviously want to join this top-tier team. If it was them, with their well-informed network, reporting Fang Che wouldn't be unexpected."
"Anyway, let's just wait and see. If there's something, it will eventually come to light."
Wu Zhibing spoke softly, "However, I want to remind the two of you. If it was really Yu Zhongge or someone from his team, then we must keep our distance from them in the future. Such scheming, appearing in such young children, is truly terrifying."
"Even we should retreat three houses away!"
"Yes, boss!"
...
Half an hour passed.
But none of those waiting showed any signs of impatience.
Mo Gaiyun stood tall, his head still wrapped in the red cloth with the words "Beyond Fang Che".
His eyes were fixed on the exit.
He didn't hear a word of the conversations around him.
Ding Jieren stood like a spear, silent, his hands white from gripping too tightly for too long.
Yu Zhongge paced back and forth.
Jing Shuanggao sat on the steps, his gaze heavy.
Meng He Jun and the others could feel the isolation aura dissipating.
Was the Heart-Testing Path over?
How was Fang Che?
They soon found out.
Zhao Shanhua strode out, carrying the unconscious Fang Che in his hands like a broken sack.
"How is he?" Meng He Jun asked anxiously.
"This kid is quite resilient."
Zhao Shanhua hummed coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction. "I can sense something in his heart, but... until the very end, he didn't budge. His Divine Perception is definitely damaged. It's up to you now."
Li Changkong quickly stepped forward, took Fang Che, and examined his Divine Soul, his expression turning extremely grim. "Fang Che's Divine Soul has suffered a tremendous impact and is in complete chaos. Even if he recovers, he might not be the same as before."
Xiang Xinghe clenched his teeth. "Doesn't that mean a talented individual is ruined?"
Li Changkong's expression darkened, but he didn't speak.
It was hard to say what kind of recovery could be expected from such a chaotic Divine Soul.
Meng Chizheng also came to inspect, and his expression changed as he spoke, "Elder Zhao, this is a bit much, isn't it? There's no evidence proving Fang Che is from the Demon Sect, yet you've done this to him? He's practically a cripple now. How do you expect us to explain this to the White Cloud Academy?"
Upon hearing the severity of their words, Gao Qingyu and Meng He Jun also examined Fang Che, and their expressions turned grim.
Fang Che's Divine Soul and Soul Sea were now like turbulent air currents in the high sky, chaotic to an appalling degree.
In simple terms, he was now an idiot! The person was finished!
Zhao Shanhua said indifferently, "In the future, the Academy must strengthen its supervision of Fang Che. The outcome is still uncertain."
Gao Qingyu burst out angrily, "The fact that he lasted until the end proves he's fine, doesn't it? Why are you still acting so ambiguously? He's already crippled, what more do you want?"
Zhao Shanhua frowned and shouted, "Elder Gao! Watch your words!"
Gao Qingyu retorted, "What words? Am I not speaking the truth? You've clearly ruined a talented individual. What more do you want?"
"Gao Qingyu!"
Zhao Shanhua's eyes narrowed, his voice stern, "Mind your identity! Do you think you can be so reckless in front of me?"
Gao Qingyu, enraged, said, "Don't try to intimidate me with your official status. I don't buy it!"
Zhao Shanhua humphed, pointing at the unconscious Fang Che, his tone sharp, "Let me tell you, first, the suspicions on him have not been cleared. Second, he still has strong Demon Sect suspicions from his actions in Green Wave City. Those methods are not something a righteous sect should possess or produce!"
"Third, even though he endured the Heart-Testing Path and his Divine Soul is damaged, but once he recovers, it might turn out to be a good thing. After the tempering of the Heart-Testing Path, once he recovers, his Divine Soul will experience significant growth. This, you all know! How can you say a talented individual is ruined?!"
Zhao Shanhua spoke sternly, "In the future, Fang Che will remain under your supervision. Any actions of his must be reported. If there are any issues in the future, it will still be your responsibility. This, you cannot shirk!"
Meng He Jun, agitated, said, "With his Divine Soul in such chaos, what recovery are we talking about? Elder Zhao, your third point is clearly unreasonable!"
"Even with complete annihilation of the Divine Soul, there's still a chance of recovery. How much more so with a chaotic Divine Soul?"
"If he can't recover, then that's his fate!"
