Chapter 229: Ye Meng's Anger
Chapter 229: Ye Meng's Anger
"Ye Meng, for now, let's say fifty thousand taels per month for the mission. Once the amount is reached, the mission will be considered complete. The Sect will record the completion rate."
The Seal God Palace spoke.
"Sect Master, you're being too obvious with this favoritism! Fifty thousand taels per month, and that's just Ye Meng's own money. It's enough for a hundred years, and this is considered a promotion?"
Although Mu Lin Yuan was also heading towards Fang Che, the Seal God Palace was opening such a convenient door. Still, he couldn't help but feel a little put off: "You can't spoil a child like this."
The Seal God Palace sighed, "Haven't you realized that Ye Meng has resentment in his heart regarding Sun Yuan's death? And this resentment is directed at me and all three of you. No matter what, this resentment must be released somehow."
Mu Lin Yuan also sighed, "This is indeed a knot. It's quite a difficult one to untangle."
The Seal God Palace smiled bitterly, "I wish Ye Meng would send me three messages a day, it's so annoying it gives me a headache. Now, since Sun Yuan's death, after asking about his affairs for eight days, there hasn't been any news."
Mu Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a little pleased at the other's misfortune.
"The little guy is angry."
"Then we have to appease him, right?"
The Seal God Palace replied, "With Sun Yuan's death, from now on, Ye Meng is practically my personal disciple. In my entire life, I've only taken on one disciple, and even that was snatched away... How can I be less indulgent towards him?"
My personal disciple! Mu Lin Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, sighing, "You're right, Sect Master. For us three, from now on, at most, Ye Meng will be a nominal disciple."
This time, the Seal God Palace's hint was truly understood.
Evidently, the phrase 'my personal disciple' made Mu Lin Yuan feel a little depressed.
The Seal God Palace angrily said, "If you're going to be nominal disciples, it can't be that you all want to be the inheritors of my legacy, can it?"
"That's the logic, but I can't help but feel it's not quite right. Sect Master, please forgive me."
Mu Lin Yuan sighed, "I truly like this child."
"Oh, being nominal or not, isn't it the same as before? What can change?"
The Seal God Palace said, "I'll send Ye Meng the appointment soon."
"Of course!"
Mu Lin Yuan reminded him.
"That's a given!"
The Seal God Palace said, "Ye Meng, establish the White Cloud Continent's secret branch without reporting to anyone! Regarding this matter, reward and punish as you see fit, but personally handle the entire process."
"Although it's about building merit, it can't be known by those above. If Ye Meng's appointment as the branch leader of the One Heart Sect is discovered by the higher-ups... I fear he'll lose his life in three days."
The Seal God Palace sighed, "The pressure from above is increasing day by day. The Li family's violation of the sect rules is so blatant, and when I submitted the evidence, with my name on it, it only resulted in a fine!"
"Ye Meng's killing was too ruthless, inciting universal anger. This was within expectations. In reality, regarding the Li family's affair, we're not just facing their power."
"Who can say otherwise?"
The Seal God Palace said, "It's fortunate that no super-powerful families were killed by Ye Meng. If there were, it would truly be troublesome. For now, our One Heart Sect can still hold its ground."
"The various super-powerful families, each with their unique skills. If they truly enter, you should worry about Ye Meng being killed instead."
Mu Lin Yuan told a cold joke.
The Seal God Palace shook his head repeatedly, "Isn't the Goose Deputy Sect Master's granddaughter enough? Didn't Ye Meng still snatch her away? This kid is fearless, I've discovered that he dares to do anything."
"No wonder he's your disciple! Just like you in your youth, exactly the same!" Mu Lin Yuan flattered him.
The Seal God Palace burst into laughter, his mood extremely uplifted.
"The next few years will be Ye Meng's hurdle, but once he passes it, he'll soar to the heavens!"
Mu Lin Yuan nodded.
He absolutely believed this statement.
"Alright, after dinner, you can leave. I'll chat with Ye Meng tonight." The Seal God Palace said.
"Hehe, the Sect Master wants to pamper his treasure."
"..."
...
Night.
Fang Che was practicing, refining his Spirit Level cultivation.
Suddenly, a message from the Seal God Palace arrived: "I heard that on your first day on duty, you took off Sun Yuan's head?"
The words carried a tone of accountability.
However, Fang Che savored the meaning behind it.
This message from the Seal God Palace had a somewhat flattering tone.
Because this message was sent proactively by the Seal God Palace.
Flattery?
Fang Che suddenly started stroking his chin in contemplation.
What's going on? Oh, I remember now. I've been so busy recently, first with various tasks, then rushing to travel, and then being continuously trained by Li Changkong and others for four days and nights.
Today, I was fully suppressed, on duty, and then handling Sun Yuan's head...
It's been eight days since I last sent a message to the Seal God Palace.
Seeing this, the old demon seemed a little flustered?
Is he trying to upset me? Fang Che's eyes shifted.
The old demon took the initiative to approach.
This is a good opportunity.
So, he replied, "Of course I can't just leave my master's head hanging there."
The Seal God Palace smacked his lips, wondering what 'my master's head' meant.
I'm also your master, and my head isn't just hanging there.
"I still feel a bit impulsive. If we want to be cautious, we should wait a few days before taking action, so as to avoid unwanted attention."
Fang Che responded, "No matter when we take action, there will always be consequences."
That's true.
Seal God Palace changed the subject and asked, "Why haven't you reported to me these past few days?"
Night Demon's reply came swiftly, "The Grandmaster is busy with a million tasks, I dare not disturb you."
Indeed, he was angry.
He's no longer calling me 'Master', but 'Grandmaster' now!
Seal God Palace felt a sudden toothache. He was lying on the bed, but couldn't help but sit up, furrowing his brows in thought.
The poor old demon lord had never coaxed anyone in his life, and he had no experience in this regard.
"What should I call you then?"
Seal God Palace replied, "Call me 'Master'."
Then he waited anxiously.
He was like an old father trying to coax an angry child, his heart still anxious.
Fang Che felt that he had stretched enough. So, he complained, "Master, I just can't understand this matter regarding Sun Yuan, no matter what."
Finally, he came!
Seal God Palace heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "What's there to understand? Some things, you only realize after experiencing them, and then you understand that helplessness."
Fang Che complained, "Master, you know that those people around him are not well-intentioned. Why do you allow it?"
"You know that I am Night Demon, and Sun Yuan is my disciple. Yet, you let those people follow him around."
"You know that Sun Yuan is in danger. Why don't you let him escape quickly?
"You know who killed him. Why don't we take revenge? Why are we doing nothing? Why are we acting as if nothing happened?"
Fang Che said, "I don't understand. I don't understand anything you say."
At that moment, Seal God Palace watched as the messages came one after another, at an incredibly fast speed, each one connecting to the next like a master swordsman's continuous strikes.
Clearly, Night Demon had been holding these thoughts in his heart for who knows how long.
Seal God Palace pondered for a moment and said, "This matter, if I want to explain clearly, is very complicated."
At that moment, Fang Che replied, "I want to listen."
"Alright."
Seal God Palace put on his clothes, sat on the edge of the bed, and began to control the Five Spirit Toad's recovery.
"Not to mention the past, nor the consequences, but just discussing the matter at hand."
"They are people from headquarters, no matter what we say, they are still a subordinate sect. This point, cannot be changed, and this point is a gulf."
"Disciple, don't assume that I, as the Grandmaster of One Heart Sect, will help you. Some of these families may not produce a subordinate sect grandmaster-like figure for several generations, but that doesn't mean they won't cause trouble."
"In a subordinate sect, this is the helplessness."
"Sun Yuan's death, Master, I tell you from my heart, I am not that sad, because Sun Yuan is just my subordinate.
Seal God Palace continued, "Subordinate sects are naturally weak. Even though our headquarters' power far surpasses those small families, they still act arrogantly. Why? Because their connections are deeply rooted and powerful!"
"Because they know many people in the upper echelons, they can create countless obstacles for us."
"These families may not produce a subordinate sect grandmaster for several generations, but that doesn't mean they won't cause trouble."
"In subordinate sects, this is the helplessness."
"Sun Yuan's death, I don't understand. I say I don't understand anything."
Seal God Palace emphasized, "Value! Value!!"
"This value, is personal value! If they don't help me, and people die on my side, I can't do anything, because my value is not enough!"
Seal God Palace said, "Your master was killed, and you kill someone, and someone comes to take revenge on you, not because you are strong enough, but because your value is not enough! The same principle applies!"
"If your own value is not enough, even if you have the best connections, it won't help!"
