Chapter 265: Submissive and Compliant

Fang Che spoke with confidence, looking down on them as he shared his insights.

"Imagine this, an idle outsider doing nothing all day, living in a luxurious hotel, buying whatever he wants, eating whatever he desires, with no apparent source of income... Is such a person not suspicious?"

"Suspicious!"

"What do we do about the suspicious ones? Keep an eye on them, investigate discreetly. Find their weaknesses, and if anything unusual is spotted, we can arrest them."

"Isn't that right?"

"In my eyes, you forty-two people are not just the subordinates of Fang Zhi Shi with divine insight. If I were the Guardian of the Great Hall right now, seeing you like this, I would firmly believe that you are spies of the Only Righteous Sect."

"Why?"

"Look at yourselves. You're dressed in such high-end clothing, your bodies are so clean, your skin is so smooth, and the items you use are so exquisite..."

Fang Che grabbed the sword, sheath and all, from one of the men beside him and pointed at it, saying, "Look at this sword sheath, even without considering the sword itself, just look at the gems on it..."

He furrowed his brows, "Have you ever thought that just one of these gems, if removed, would be enough for many people on White Cloud Continent to live a lifetime? And you have not one but five of them... I ask you, how many people on the entire continent have such means? And among those, who isn't already well-known? You, a stranger, walk around so ostentatiously and think you're being low-key? Hasn't anyone noticed you?"

"Do you think everyone else is a fool?"

Fang Che's face twisted.

Everyone lowered their heads.

This wasn't an irrational outburst; these were indeed huge flaws.

As Qian Yi Shan was exposed, some of the others couldn't help but smile. It's always pleasant to see others' misfortunes.

"And you, Zhou Meir, you're still smiling. You have the nerve to smile."

Fang Che pointed at her head, "Look at the jewelry on your head, so glamorous and unique, not at all like the local fashion. Haven't you realized something? Hmm?"

"Just look at your sparkling earrings. Not to mention how many women can afford them, but even those who can, what status would they have in this city? They would have been pursued by countless aristocratic families' descendants and become the city's renowned beauties. Yet, you walk around with an innocent face, and you haven't been caught yet. It's truly a miracle!"

"And you, look at your fingernails, afraid that others won't realize you're from the Demon Sect. This blue color, do you want others to capture you and test you for poison?"

"And you..."

Fang Che pointed out seven or eight of them.

All forty-two people hung their heads in shame.

After this revelation, they realized that their flaws were indeed numerous.

Only then did Fang Che start to appeal to their emotions, sighing deeply, "Why didn't I really kill or beat you up? Why did I insist on keeping you here? Because I know that if you continue like this, on White Cloud Continent, there's only a dead end. I assure you, not one of you forty-two will make it back alive."

"Too crude! Truly too crude!"

For some reason, when Fang Che said these words, 'too crude, truly too crude', it felt inexplicably satisfying.

Damn, I can use these words to describe others too! Fang Che spoke earnestly, "I'm trying to save you."

"Now, our One Heart Sect is the target of many, so we need to establish connections with the upper echelons for our protection. And you are my effort this time."

Fang Che said indifferently, "Otherwise, do you think you're still some kind of genius? Did the Commander use all his tricks just to keep you here?"

Although they remained skeptical of his words,

The flaws he had pointed out on their bodies were indeed real.

So, the statement 'continuing like this, you'll never leave White Cloud Continent' wasn't entirely baseless.

Everyone expressed their gratitude simultaneously, "Thank you, Commander, for saving our lives."

"You don't need to thank me for saving your lives. Just don't hold a grudge against me when you return."

Fang Che sighed and said, "I know you're here to kill the Night Demon, but about the Night Demon... I'm telling you, don't even think about it. The Night Demon is several times more cruel than me; he's not someone you can handle. Be honest and earn some merit before returning."

"Don't even think about other grand plans. It's not worth losing your life."

Fang Che said.

"Yes, we obey the Commander's order."

Fang Che asked, "Among you, whose family has someone who died at the hands of the Night Demon?"

"My family does."

"My family too."

"My family."

"..."

Out of the forty-two people from over thirty families, thirteen families had direct descendants who died at the hands of the Night Demon in the Incubation to Divinity Program.

This proportion was indeed shocking.

Even Fang Che was taken aback and said, "Do you still want to take revenge?"

"We can't even if we want to."

The thirteen families smiled bitterly, "We won't hide it from you, before meeting you, we did think about finding and killing the Night Demon, then returning to claim the merit. Because our families once said that whoever kills the Night Demon, he and his family will be incorporated into the direct lineage for cultivation..."

And the family will fully support you in the future."

"But after meeting the Lord, we immediately lost that thought. With the Lord's cunning, strength, and methods, to be beneath Lord Night Demon, we don't even have the strength to retaliate against you. If we were to face Lord Night Demon, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing..."

"Lord Night Demon... He single-handedly killed over 30,000 people of the same rank in the Incubation to Divinity Program! He's invincible among his peers, a terrifying existence that kills across ranks as easily as eating and drinking."

"We truly don't have a shred of that thought anymore."

All forty-two of them nodded in unison.

They wholeheartedly agreed with this statement.

Apparently, they all shared this belief.

Fang Che chuckled and said, "It's not wrong for you to think that way. Lord Night Demon's killings are much more satisfying than mine. He doesn't talk much, unlike me, who beats, curses, and plays around... At the end of the day, I still don't dare to truly offend your family at headquarters. As for Lord Night Demon, he killed over 30,000 people. What did he care about? If Lord Night Demon were here today, I'd bluntly say... Your delicate little heads would have been in the toilet long ago."

The crowd shivered in unison.

Fang Che said, "So the most urgent task now is to change ourselves first. This is the first priority. As for how to change, you can decide for yourselves, but I'll say this upfront: if any of you don't change thoroughly and get caught... Then I won't have the ability to save you. You can either endure and keep quiet, or quickly betray the Five Spirit Toad and let it devour you."

"!!!"

The crowd shivered at the thought of that outcome.

"The second thing is to quickly find a way to make a living. Either stick together as a group and think of a way out, or go out and find jobs. Use a legitimate identity to conceal your original identities and blend into the vast world of White Cloud Continent. Understand?"

"The most important thing is this: I'll tell you all again—abide by the law! Don't think that just because you're Martial Commanders or Martial Generals, you're so great. In a small city, maybe you can get away with it, but this is White Cloud Continent! White Cloud Continent, to put it bluntly, do you know about the White Cloud Martial Academy? There are tens of thousands of students in the White Cloud Martial Academy alone, and each of them has a Martial Commander! What are you compared to them?"

"Abide by the law!"

Fang Che tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Tomorrow, go and buy the White Cloud Codex. Everyone must memorize it. Tomorrow evening, I'll conduct an exam. At that time, I'll personally invigilate. If anyone fails, then fine, you can leave instead of staying here and causing trouble for us. Go out and do whatever you want."

"I can't afford to have subordinates like ticking bombs."

"For now, that's all. Find a place to stay, or if you don't want to go back, that's fine too. This courtyard is quite large, and there are many rooms. One room per person isn't enough, but several people can squeeze together. It's to prevent you from being exposed and caught when you go out. Understand? Tomorrow evening is the exam, did everyone get that?"

The group nodded like pecking chickens.

After Starlight Commander had repeatedly found flaws in them, they now lacked the courage to go out on the streets.

They even admired their own boldness from before, strolling down the streets.

It was indeed good luck.

But who could guarantee they would have such luck again? What if they were really caught if they went out? Seeing that no one was leaving, Fang Che realized he had scared them.

So Fang Che looked at the original few and said, "Assign them rooms. Clean each room, at least make sure there's a table, chairs, tea, and other necessities. As for bedding and such, leave it to you all to quickly take care of. At the very least, make it comfortable to live in. If it can't be helped, quickly build a row of houses along the courtyard wall. It shouldn't be difficult for martial artists, right?"

"Yes, Commander."

"Remember to buy books for them tomorrow, and you'll all take the exam too. You need to memorize it, understand?"

"... Understand!"

"If anyone fails, humph!"

Starlight Commander glared, and his malevolent aura burst forth, covering the sky and the earth, revealing his sharp white teeth. "Who dares to fail?!"

"Ahhh!"

Several girls were so scared they screamed and almost hugged each other.

"Hahaha..."

Fang Che turned and left.

Leaving behind a group of frightened quails.

After a long while.

Only then did they whisper.

"Is the Commander gone?"

"... Gone?"

"Really gone?"

"... "

Then everyone stood up.

They cautiously sensed the surroundings, and even the bravest hesitated for a long time before finally reaching the door to take a look.

"No one."

The door opened.

A gust of cold wind blew in.

The crowd shivered.

Instantly, they felt...

"I'm still alive!"

"It feels so good to be alive..."

"I never realized that breathing in this cold wind could be so comfortable..."

"Wuwu... Mom, I'm still alive..."
