Chapter 33: Shocking the World
Chapter 33: Shocking the World
"Your master said you are above the A-rank?" Huang Yifan asked with an extremely peculiar tone.
"Yes... It might be even higher, but my master couldn't confirm it."
Fang Che explained, "My master doesn't have the same resources as our Martial Arts Academy."
"Your master is simply a big fool..."
Huang Yifan blurted out.
Then he realized that insulting someone's master to their face might cause offense, but when he looked at Fang Che's expression, he seemed unbothered and didn't mind at all.
Huang Yifan laughed and made some small talk before letting Fang Che leave.
"Go back and rest well. Focus on your training. Others haven't arrived yet, so seize this opportunity to practice. The New Student Grand Competition is especially important, so you must take it seriously."
"Yes."
Fang Che left.
After watching Fang Che leave, Lu Jiaoshan finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Why did you block me earlier?"
Huang Yifan angrily replied, "Are you being ridiculous? If I didn't need to block you, why would I do it? Since I blocked you, it means I didn't want you to know. So, what's the point of asking now?"
Lu Jiaoshan was left speechless.
You're making so much sense, and I can't even argue!
Huang Yifan stood up, feeling a bit anxious and impatient.
"I have to go out for an important matter. If someone looks for me, tell them to wait."
After saying this, Huang Yifan directly flew out through the window.
He was in such a hurry that he seemed to have a burning butt.
Lu Jiaoshan was still in shock from the discovery of an extraordinary genius and hadn't recovered yet. He looked on in astonishment, but Huang Yifan was already out of sight.
Lu Jiaoshan muttered to himself, "What could be so urgent for this old man?"
...
Huang Yifan was feeling a bit anxious now.
If Fang Che's talent was ordinary, he wouldn't be this worried.
But with such a shocking and unparalleled talent, it was a matter even bigger than the heavens.
The news that Fang Che was a member of the Unity Sect came from Chen Ruhai, who was Huang Yifan's former subordinate.
This guy, although foul-tempered and sloppy, was meticulous and had never made a mistake when it came to important matters.
But Huang Yifan's investigation didn't match the intelligence.
And it was a genius that shocked the world.
This matter had to be taken seriously.
Whether the news was true or false, it was a shocking piece of information.
Huang Yifan felt he couldn't even sleep until he figured this out.
So, he sped up to the maximum and rushed to Verdant Wave City like a shooting star.
...
Chen Ruhai was currently closing the door and rubbing his feet.
The room was filled with a strong odor.
Huang Yifan burst through the window, followed by a loud noise.
Chen Ruhai was kicked to the wall with a curse.
Then, Huang Yifan flew out with a whoosh.
Outside, he cursed loudly, "Can't you have some dignity? You're always picking your stinky feet!"
Huang Yifan was furious. He had flown in directly and almost suffocated from the stench.
The fresh air during his flight was so refreshing, but then he inhaled a mouthful of salty fish smell.
The stark contrast made him almost choke.
A feeling of nausea arose, and his stomach churned, almost making him vomit.
Chen Ruhai almost shouted, "There's an assassin!" but quickly swallowed his words. He slid down the wall and hurriedly waved his hand, opening all the doors and windows to let out the air in the room, along with the foul smell.
In an instant, he was neatly dressed and had a flattering expression, "Boss, why are you here? Please take a seat."
"Change the place!"
Huang Yifan was furious, "Also, go wash your hands! Quickly!"
Chen Ruhai hurriedly left, showing his buttocks, "Quickly... find a clean room..."
...
In a spotlessly clean reception room.
Chen Ruhai had washed himself thoroughly and looked radiant.
He even had several fragrant sachets on him.
The scent was rich and pleasant.
"Sit over there!"
Huang Yifan pushed Chen Ruhai to the farthest spot from himself, then used spirit qi to clean the chair under his buttocks again and swept the entire room with Spirit Qi:
Huang Yifan closed the door and set up a soundproof barrier.
To be fair, Huang Yifan wasn't usually a clean person.
He could even be considered sloppy.
But when it came to Chen Ruhai, he had to be a hygiene role model.
It was unbearable...
...
"Do you know why I'm here?"
Chen Ruhai immediately understood and said, "Fang Che has already reached the Martial Arts Academy?"
"Yes."
"Does the boss have any thoughts about him?"
"Yes."
"I wonder what the boss thinks?"
Chen Ruhai asked.
"Under my spiritual pressure, he has been suppressing himself to the point of collapse, but there's no issue. He's completely upright, kind, and has a strong sense of justice and righteousness."
Huang Yifan's eyes shone with a sharp light, and he spoke word by word, "Are you mistaken?"
Chen Ruhai was about to answer, but Huang Yifan continued, "Think carefully before you answer. This matter is of utmost importance!"
"Utmost importance?"
Chen Ruhai raised his head in surprise.
"Yes."
Chen Ruhai pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, I won't make a judgment. The information is from my personal collection and hasn't been seen by anyone else. Boss, please evaluate it yourself."
He stood up and went to his secret room.
Then he sent over some information.
...
Huang Yifan read very slowly, chewing over and contemplating each and every word.
Throughout, he didn't utter a single word.
He had arrived in the morning, but by the time he finished reading the materials, it was already dawn.
He hadn't spoken a word, taken a sip of water, or even moved from his spot.
He had carefully ruminated over every word recorded, chewing on them for several rounds.
As the rooster crowed, the first rays of dawn illuminated the room.
Finally, Huang Yifan put down the dossier, closed his eyes, and lay back in his chair, pondering in silence.
Chen Ruhai had been by his side the entire time.
He, too, dared not make a sound.
After a long while, Huang Yifan opened his eyes and said, "According to the information, there's no doubt that Fang Che is a member of the Unity Sect. But I still trust my own assessment; Fang Che should be a good kid."
Chen Ruhai's expression remained unchanged as he said, "On this matter, I dare not say anything. The reason I notified the boss was to prevent any potential problems and prepare for the worst-case scenario."
"I understand. I'll keep a close eye on him."
Huang Yifan sighed softly and said, "Today, don't follow me. I'll stay in Verdant Wave City for a few days."
Then he said, "After I'm done, I'll head back. I won't bother you when I leave."
"Since the boss has come all this way, let me treat you to a meal before you go, brother..."
"Get lost! Even the gods wouldn't be able to eat with you!"
Huang Yifan rolled his eyes and casually threw two bottles of elixir at Chen Ruhai, saying, "Take one every seven days. There are a hundred pills here. Come to me when you've finished them."
"Yes, sir."
Chen Ruhai cherished the elixirs like precious treasures.
"You can't solve the Thousand Layer Corpse Poison, but you can't just give up like this, can you? Now that it's reached your feet, you can't even hide that one foot? What kind of image are you presenting as a Pavilion Lord?!"
Huang Yifan scolded him.
"Yes, the boss is right."
Huang Yifan waved his hand and disappeared without a trace.
Chen Ruhai sighed, stood silently for a while, and then returned to his room to read the dossier again.
He opened the side of his bed, placed the dossier inside, locked it up again, disguised the exterior, and then placed a pillow on top.
...
Huang Yifan stayed in Verdant Wave City for three whole days.
Then he returned.
...
Meanwhile, Fang Che quickly returned to the Scholar's Residence.
"Young Master, you're back."
Yan Meng eagerly approached, helping Fang Che remove his cloak and hang it on a rack, while saying, "The courtyard next door has also been bought, but I don't know who by. Since you weren't here, I didn't dare to ask."
"Oh?"
Fang Che's eyes flashed.
When he had bought the residence, the one next door was still empty.
And now that he had just bought it, someone had moved in next door? 'Either it's the Unity Sect or the Guardian Coalition.'
Fang Che knew this and said, "Do you have to meddle in other people's business when they buy a house? You're quite the busybody, little miss. You've only been eating and not making any progress these days. When are you going to break through? Focus on your cultivation!"
As usual, he scolded Yan Meng.
Yan Meng pouted.
This guy rarely said anything nice.
Fang Che had already gone to practice, and he didn't care at all about who his new neighbors were. If they were from the Unity Sect, they would contact him.
And if they were from the Guardian Coalition, he could just leave it to Yan Meng.
That night, Fang Che was awakened from his sleep by a tremor.
He felt the earth beneath him trembling slightly. It wasn't a localized tremor; it was as if a super-powerful being was fighting somewhere far away, and the shockwaves were reaching this place.
As an experienced cultivator, Fang Che immediately realized that the tremor was caused by an incredibly powerful battle taking place at an unknown distance.
The battle's aftermath had reached this earth vein, causing a minor earthquake in this area.
"Based on this tremor, the battle must be taking place very far away. And the person causing such a tremor is simply unimaginable."
Fang Che lay in bed, feeling the vibrations, his heart filled with awe.
Even his past life's self would likely be blown to dust by such a powerful being.
But who was it?
...
The next day, Fang Qingyun hosted a welcome dinner for Fang Che, who took the opportunity to feed Fang Qingyun the remaining Heavenspring Crimson Fruit.
Fang Qingyun didn't even realize what was happening, as several classmates were discussing something nearby, and he ended up getting drunk.
He went back to sleep.
By the time morning came, Fang Qingyun's roommates were awakened by a foul smell.
"What the hell... Did you fart, Fang Qingyun?"
The roommates covered their noses and fled the room, and one of them threw a brick through the door at Fang Qingyun, who was snoring loudly.
Fang Qingyun woke up slowly, the stench filling the room, and he couldn't help but curse, "Who farted?"
...
An hour later, Fang Qingyun, now clean and refreshed, was surrounded by his roommates, who were beating him up.
The bedsheets and blankets were completely ruined and had to be burned.
Fang Qingyun, completely clueless, begged and pleaded, and only after promising to buy a month's worth of meals was he able to stop his roommates from spreading the story of his 'farting in the bed.'
The roommates reluctantly agreed not to spread the story.
With the matter resolved, Fang Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief.
But he knew he hadn't farted! So what had happened?
After eating with his younger cousin...
...
Three days later, news finally arrived about the late-night earthquake.
A battle between sword and gun, with the sword losing a move! When this news spread, the world was shaken!
