"

"Inspiration, my ass!"

Ye Meng's courage returned, and she began to punch him with her small fists.

She reached into the blanket and started twisting his flesh.

Currently, Fang Che was weak, and his muscles were soft and pliable, making it easy to twist. Although she didn't use much force, it still hurt.

Fang Che endured the pain, gritting his teeth.

He felt his spiritual power rapidly recovering in his dantian, and he grimaced, "You wait... You just wait..."

"Hmph!"

Not only did Ye Meng not stop, but she became even more aggressive.

This guy is like an animal, and it's rare to have such a heaven-sent opportunity. If I don't take revenge at this moment, when will I?

Fang Che's paralyzed right hand slowly regained strength, and he clenched his fist.

He felt his power returning, but he continued to cultivate the Infinite Sutra...

A moment later.

To Ye Meng's astonishment, Fang Che flipped over and pinned her down.

He grinned menacingly, "Little girl, you brought this upon yourself! How dare you provoke me? Let's see how I'll deal with you today!"

Ye Meng looked at him in shock, unable to understand how this guy, who was like a limp noodle just a moment ago, had recovered so quickly.

Then, Fang Che began his revenge.

...

In the morning, when Fang Che got up to go on duty, Ye Meng hadn't even woken up yet.

She felt nothing.

This clearly showed how effective Fang Zong's revenge was last night.

On the way to the Guardian Pavilion, he unexpectedly met someone.

"Elder Fang!"

Zhao Ying'er greeted him cheerfully, her beautiful eyes filled with affection, "You're here."

She then covered her mouth embarrassedly and laughed, "I should call you Elder Fang now... Elder Fang, hehe, please take good care of me from now on."

Fang Che smiled and said, "Is your injury fully healed?"

"It's completely healed. I'm fully recovered!"

Zhao Ying'er's smile was as radiant as a flower, "It's all thanks to you for saving me in time."

Suddenly, she became solemn and said, "Elder Fang, thank you for saving my life."

She bowed deeply.

Fang Che shook his head and smiled, "Why are you saying this? Anyone in that situation would have done the same. Moreover, if it had been you who was injured that day, I wouldn't have ignored it, right?"

Zhao Ying'er expressed her gratitude, "But the fact remains."

"You seem to be in a good mood on this trip home."

Fang Che chuckled, "You've gained some weight."

Zhao Ying'er tensed up, "Did I gain weight?"

She hurriedly examined herself.

At the entrance, Jing Xiuyun's laughter could be heard, "Elder Zhao, don't listen to Elder Fang. After getting to know him, you'll realize that his emotional intelligence is... He's a typical straight man. He says exactly what women don't want to hear."

Fang Che turned his head and praised, "Elder Jing's face now looks much better than when she used to put on makeup."

"..."

Jing Xiuyun's smile froze on her face.

She spat in resentment and turned back.

Zhao Ying'er almost laughed out loud.

She realized that Fang Che truly didn't know how to flatter girls.

But when she thought about it, she became even happier.

Accompanying Fang Che as they walked in, she said, "Elder Fang, did you miss me while I was away for these two months?"

"No," Fang Che replied.

"Then what were you thinking about?"

It was evident that Zhao Ying'er had become more lively and courageous than before.

"I was thinking about how chaotic this hall is!" Fang Che said.

Fang Che's face suddenly turned stern, and he scolded, "Why is everyone so chaotic?! Are you here to buy groceries?!"

Instantly...

The crowd, who had felt they had made progress and improved their cultivation the previous day, had their high spirits frozen in an instant.

Silence filled the room.

Zhao Ying'er was startled.

She couldn't help but turn to look at Fang Zong, whose face had changed from being warm and friendly to that of a severe winter.

Fang Che huffed, "This is Elder Zhao Ying'er, who fought against the demons of the Demon Sect and was injured. She has just returned from recuperating. The old elders know her, and the new ones should familiarize themselves with her."

Thirty members of the Cold Sword Sect stood up simultaneously and applauded, "Welcome, Elder Zhao!"

These thirty people had been thoroughly disciplined by Fang Zong and had become extremely obedient. Moreover, they trusted Fang Zong even more than the old elders.

They became even more obedient to his commands.

The old elders were mostly old hands who would never exert themselves more than necessary. If they could complete a task with 30% effort, they wouldn't use 35%.

However, these thirty people were pure newcomers to the workplace. Once they recognized and trusted a leader, they became die-hard followers!

There was basically no possibility of betrayal.

Moreover, they would proactively praise their leader outside.

This was the nature of workplace newcomers.

Although Fang Che didn't understand this, the disciples of the Cold Sword Sect had been too arrogant when they first arrived, so he focused on suppressing them.

He completely shattered the authority of the two King-level leaders who were their backbone.

Then he suddenly realized that the thirty people had become extremely obedient to him, more so than even the most loyal followers.

He had found the trick.

He specifically targeted those two.

The more he dealt with them, the more obedient they became, the smoother it went, and the more loyal they became...

"Since Elder Zhao is back, she'll continue to be in charge of the original area."

Fang Che turned with an air of authority and asked, "Any problems?"

"No problems."

Zhao Ying'er was startled and felt like she was facing a strict father, so she quickly answered obediently.

"Things are different now. There will be various assessments at any time. Someone will explain it to you later."

Fang Che said indifferently, "Go back to your seat!"

"Yes!"

She instinctively stood at attention.

"I know you all received benefits yesterday, but benefits can't be expected every day. You're now clear about the situation in the other hall, and after yesterday, completely crushing them is entirely possible."

Elder Fang gave a speech, "But... this is not something to be proud of. What you should be proud of is crushing them with achievements, not cultivation.

"And what about you few from the World Apart Sect? What have you been up to these past few days? Two Royal Ranks waiting around to eat and do nothing! If you lack experience, learn, and if you don't understand, ask. That hole beneath your nose isn't just for eating!"

"If you don't take the lead, do you expect your disciples and the Martial Marquis to help you instead? Reap the benefits of others' hard work? Hm?"

As usual, Fang Che gave the two Royal Ranks a good scolding.

Ping Shansong and Yun Jianqiu both turned red with embarrassment, obediently bowing their heads.

They were truly convinced.

"Now, let's begin assigning today's tasks."

Fang Che looked at the situation report sent by the Guardian Pavilion and said, "There have been a few violent incidents in the northern city recently, two last night, possibly committed by ordinary people from the jianghu. Regardless, go and check out the situation. We can't rely on the local government; they might be able to handle thugs and ruffians, but against jianghu people, there will likely be heavy casualties."

"There's some unrest in the southern city; go and investigate the situation."

"Go and take a look at the Fortune Hotel as well. Yesterday, there was a mix of good and bad people..."

"Send a few people outside the city to investigate. Perhaps some of the demon offspring who benefited yesterday went outside the city to test their cultivation progress..."

"And also..."

"Bang!"

He slammed the table. "Action!"

There was a rustling sound.

Before Zhao Ying'er could react, Jing Xiuyun had already pulled her out of the room.

"If you don't rush out within three seconds after Fang Zong shouts 'Action,' you'll get whipped..." Jing Xiuyun explained to Zhao Ying'er as they hurried out. "Remember that for next time."

"..."

Zhao Ying'er was shocked. "So fierce?"

"It's not just fierce..."

Jing Xiuyun finally relaxed after pulling Zhao Ying'er out of the main door. "It's downright scary... The two Royal Ranks he's been beating up these days look like his own sons... A Martial King with a swollen nose, bruised face, and split lips... It's terrifying to look at."

Zhao Ying'er's mouth hung open in shock. "...He can beat up Royal Ranks now?"

"It's rare..."

Jing Xiuyun rolled her eyes. "If he starts beating up Imperial Ranks in a few days, I wouldn't be surprised. Our Fang Zong has gone completely mad. His battle prowess increases daily, as if he's taking some kind of drug."

As she spoke, Jing Xiuyun glanced around before leaning close to Zhao Ying'er's ear and whispering, "And I think Fang Zong has a woman now..."

Zhao Ying'er was startled, her beautiful eyes widening. "What?"

Her face turned pale.

Jing Xiuyun said, "Every morning when he comes, he carries a faint fragrance with him... It's very subtle and definitely not the scent of cosmetics."

Zhao Ying'er was at a loss, murmuring, "It can't be... So soon?"

She thought about how long it had been since she started recuperating.

Biting her lip, she said, "I shouldn't have come back to recuperate..."

"It's not that there's no chance. After all, he hasn't mentioned marriage yet." Jing Xiuyun comforted her.

Zhao Ying'er's heart slightly eased.

But then she heard Jing Xiuyun say regretfully, "But I guess you won't be able to taste that divine soup anymore..."

Zhao Ying'er's face immediately turned red.

...

After finishing his arrangements, Fang Che went out to patrol the streets.

But he was well aware of something.

Golden Serpent Spear Dong Changfeng had broken through, and he was right here in Baiyunzhou.

For at least the next month, the demon offspring wouldn't dare to show their faces.

So, for this month, it would be basically impossible to earn any merits.

After wandering around for a while, he transformed into Yin Xiu, the head of the Heaven's Escort Bureau.

Ah, just in time for the Hour of the Snake.

Zhou Meier and the others were discussing matters in the small hall.

Since the main hall was often used to receive guests, they had set up this smaller hall for the head of the escort bureau and the higher-ups to discuss matters.

However, the head of the escort bureau's throne was no different from the one in the main hall.

"What are you all discussing?"

The head of the escort bureau strolled in.

"Head of the Escort Bureau!"

Zheng Yunqi and the others stood up. "We're discussing the matter of the investigation team."

"Ah... Don't mention that. It's a headache."

The Starlight Commander covered his forehead. "Just hearing those two words gives me a headache."

The others snickered.

The Starlight Commander sighed. "What if something happens to them on the road? What if they get into trouble and are killed..."

The others exchanged glances.

They all felt that this was indeed a possibility.

Just then, a clear voice spoke up, "Head of the Escort Bureau, you're worrying too much."

Everyone was taken aback.

Had someone arrived? They quickly rushed out to greet the visitors.

Outside, there were six people, and the one leading them was a white-robed youth. He stood with his hands behind his back, admiring the calligraphy and paintings in the main hall.

A smile played on his lips, and his eyes held a playful glint.

When Zhou Meier, Zhao Wu Shang, Zheng Yunqi, Wu Lianlian, and Tian Wanqing saw the white-robed youth, their expressions changed instantly.

They showed emotions of excitement, fear, and terror, along with a desire to approach him but a hesitation to do so.

Simultaneously, they knelt on one knee. "We pay our respects to Star Lord."

Star Lord nodded. "You may rise. In Baiyunzhou, we keep things simple. No need for excessive formalities."

"Yes."

The five of them thanked him and stood up, standing with their hands clasped in front of them.

They seemed eager to be as obedient as possible.

Zhou Meier signaled to the Starlight Commander.

The message was clear: Don't offend the Star Lord!

Fang Che immediately understood.

He became enthusiastic and laughed, "Several great bosses have come to our escort bureau. I am Yin Xiu, the head of the Heaven's Escort Bureau. May I ask for your esteemed names?"

The Star Lord looked at him with a playful glint in his eyes, his expression unreadable, but there was also a hint of appreciation. After observing Fang Che for a while, he smiled and slowly said, "My surname is Feng. You can call me Brother Feng, Boss Feng, or Star Lord, just like the others. I won't object."

Starry Star, the Starlight Commander, burst into hearty laughter. "Boss Feng, you're a straightforward man, and these people here are like dragons and phoenixes among men, with their wealth and boldness. I haven't asked yet..."

Zheng Yunqi and the others dared not even breathe.

They silently listened, feeling anxious for the Starry Star.

Just now, Starry Star had thrown out three titles, testing them.

He placed the title 'Starry Star' last, implying that he wanted the Starry Star to address him as such.

However, the Starry Star did not comply.

Instead, he chose the polite yet distant title of 'Boss Feng'.

Moreover, he proceeded to inquire about the other five individuals.

This was somewhat disrespectful.

The five people were perplexed. Starry Star usually seemed smarter than us. From our actions today, kneeling and calling him Starry Star, as well as our attitude, he should have understood.

Why is he acting so strangely today? Starry Star didn't get angry but gave Starry Star a meaningful glance, saying, "These are my five managers."

He smiled faintly and said, "They are the people you've been waiting for."

Upon hearing this, not only did Zheng Yunqi and the others freeze, but even Starry Star was stunned.

Although we were well aware of your purpose, was it really appropriate to state it so explicitly?

Immediately, Starry Star spoke to Zheng Yunqi and the others, "The secret investigation is complete. Now it's time for your assessment. You five, take these five with you and report what needs to be reported. Each person has their own file to fill out, and there are people within the escort agency to call as well."

"Focus on the escort missions undertaken, usual performance, what you've learned, and so on... They will ask you about these things. Go."

Zheng Yunqi and the others rejoiced.

"Thank you, Starry Star!"

This was an unimaginable joy.

Starry Star's words clarified everything: the branch has been approved. Your individual futures are next.

Then, as you report, it will be recorded accordingly.

In other words, it's as if we are given a bright path to follow.

How could the group not be delighted? After expressing their gratitude, they left with the five individuals.

Zhou Meier lingered, secretly signaling to Starry Star with her eyes.

She looked back repeatedly, hesitant to leave.

Starry Star smiled slightly, saying, "The Grand Escort Commander has excellent people skills."

He strolled casually with his hands behind his back, exuding a natural and carefree aura, like a leisurely stroll in a courtyard.

"It's all thanks to the sincerity of my brothers," Starry Star humbly acknowledged, noticing Starry Star's extremely pale face, almost devoid of blood, yet not appearing weak or frail. Instead, it emanated a subtle glow like that of jade.

With thick eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips, a face like jade, and hair as black as silk, Starry Star stood tall with a dignified and graceful demeanor.

"Grand Escort Commander, this escort agency must have taken a lot of effort," Starry Star paused by the throne, gazing at the eight large characters above: 'Beacon of Righteousness, Model of the World'.

"It's manageable," Starry Star replied, "Thanks to the support and respect from fellow martial artists. This bowl of rice is still edible."

Starry Star shook his head and chuckled, pointing at the eight characters with his raised hand. He sighed, saying, "How much blood is hidden behind these eight characters."

Starry Star calmly stated, "In the underworld, blood paves the way. Blood must be shed, and when it's worth it, it's worth it."

"Well said, when it's worth it, it's worth it," Starry Star applauded, admiration on his handsome face. "This sentence is excellent. For a great cause, shedding a little blood occasionally is not a big deal."

He said, "Grand Escort Commander, would you accompany me on a tour of the escort agency? Let me broaden my horizons."

"Sure, follow me," Starry Star replied.

They strolled through various facilities and rooms, including the front courtyard, the eighteen layers of hell, and the large willow tree that caught Starry Star's attention for a long time.

Then, they observed the separate male and female dormitories, a faint smile on Starry Star's face. He praised, "This is well done."

Starry Star burst into laughter. "What I'm afraid of is these guys causing trouble here. If they return with a big belly, hahaha..."

Starry Star also laughed, saying, "I will emphasize this when I return. After all, many of the girls here are engaged to others."

He smiled, saying, "For example, Zhou Meier."

This sentence clearly had a hidden meaning.

Zhou Meier's expression in the grand hall earlier could reveal a lot.

"Yes, indeed, Zhou Meier is quite exceptional. She's capable and will likely marry into a prominent family," Starry Star said, pretending not to understand and moving on.

They arrived at the rear martial arts training ground, which was empty. All the little demons had gone to the front to queue up for registration.

Starry Star strolled with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his face.

In this vast space with only two people, he lowered his voice and said, "Starry Star..."

"I'm here," Starry Star replied.

With only two of them left, Starry Star addressed him as Starry Star.

This was no longer a conversation between the Grand Escort Commander and a client but between the headquarters' special envoy and Starry Star. Starry Star was sensitive to this.

He immediately referred to himself as a subordinate.

Seeing his swift reaction, Starry Star smiled, a meaningful smile on his face. He said, "However, I'm not sure whether I should call you Starry Star or..."

He turned his head slightly, his eyes shining like sunlight, and said, "Or should I call you Night Demon?"
