Chapter 389: A Bountiful Harvest [10,000 Words] (Part 2)
And as the Young Master and Second Young Master gain prominence, the supporters of other families will naturally change their allegiances. By then, we can guide the situation and solidify our dominance."
The Starlight Commander spoke calmly, "This is a direction that everyone can understand. However, the blood ties of siblings are unchangeable."
"So, this strategy has a hundred benefits and no harm. The prerequisite is that everyone, including the Star Deity, must truly respect and submit to the Cloud Deity!"
"Sincerely assist and support. That's the prerequisite."
"If we can't even see the direction and start fighting among ourselves for power and benefits, then it's over."
"As for the distant future... if there truly comes a day when the Cloud Deity also reaches the position of Vice Supreme Sect Leader, then if the Cloud Deity is ranked tenth, and the Star Deity is ranked eleventh or twelfth, wouldn't that be fine? Why must he surpass his own older brother?"
"So, standing out has a condition, which is to ensure the supremacy of the Old Master Feng Yun. And among all the others, standing out is enough."
"As for other families, those with different surnames, how to suppress, divide, and draw them to our side... hehe, the Star Deity knows much more than me. But the geniuses of other families must be suppressed from now on; we must not let them grow their wings."
The Starlight Commander said, "Especially Yan Bei Han. She must be kept firmly under control. We can't let her have any chance to rise."
"Because Yan Deputy Sect Master has been in charge of sect affairs for so many years, and her connections are terrifying. Once Yan Bei Han shows the momentum to soar, all the sect forces will naturally gravitate towards her."
The Starlight Commander continued, "The current situation is that we must first cut off Yan Bei Han's path to rise, then we can talk about the rest. Otherwise, everything is useless. The best outcome is for the Young Master and Yan Bei Han to stand on equal footing, with neither having an advantage over the other."
"She might even constantly face suppression from Yan Bei Han's faction. This is of utmost importance."
"If we don't take Yan Bei Han seriously just because she's a batch later than the Cloud Deity, the consequences will be dire! Don't underestimate her now."
Feng Shi Qi's expression became increasingly solemn.
The Starlight Commander's initial words were nothing new, and he did have some insights, but they weren't enough to make Feng Shi Qi's eyes light up.
However, the mention of Yan Bei Han at the end truly sounded an alarm bell.
Because many people indeed thought this way: Yan Bei Han was not actually from the same batch as Feng Yun Chen Zan, Bai Ye, and the others.
First, there was the age difference. Second, there was a gap in cultivation. And third, she was still a girl...
For the Starlight Commander, this matter truly moved his heart and mind.
Because for him, the more intense the competition among the younger generation of the Only Righteous Sect, the better. For now, he didn't care about things like raising toads or not.
This batch of young people was truly too dangerous.
It would be best if they fought among themselves, causing internal strife, and even better if they killed each other and a few died in the process.
If they could collectively perish together, that would be even more wonderful, but unfortunately, the Starlight Commander wouldn't dare to dream of such a beautiful outcome.
So, this time, he took advantage of the situation and gave Yan Bei Han a heavy blow, which could be considered a significant setback.
However, everyone had to admit that from the Feng Family's perspective, these words were truly sincere and valuable advice.
"I will report this to the Star Deity after I return."
Feng Shi Qi said solemnly.
Looking at the Starlight Commander's expression, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.
The Star Deity indeed had good judgment.
To have found such a treasure within the subordinate sect.
"I wonder if the Star Deity has any other inquiries?"
The Starlight Commander asked.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.
His mouth was dry from speaking earlier.
"The Star Deity doesn't have any other matters."
Feng Shi Qi's mind was now filled with the urgency to report.
But he also had to see things through to the end, "The Star Deity asked me to inquire if you have any troubling matters here that you can't handle?"
"Speaking of which, there is something."
The other party had taken the initiative to offer help, and with the Starlight Commander's temperament, he naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass.
"What's the matter? Tell me."
Feng Shi Qi was taken aback. He didn't expect this guy to be so straightforward. If he hadn't asked, it would have been fine, but now that he did, there really was a matter.
"It's about the Divine Deity Sect and the Nightmare Demon's affairs."
The Starlight Commander spoke earnestly, "Seventeenth Elder, as you've seen, my escort agency has been hidden until now, and it's been quite perfect. But the perfection is because we've strictly followed the Guardian's laws; we're just running an escort agency here, right?"
Feng Shi Qi acknowledged this. It was indeed the case.
"But now the situation is complex. The Frostblade Sword is in the White Cloud Continent, putting pressure on us. This matter isn't a big deal for our branch, but the Divine Deity Sect's leader and his trusted followers, along with the Nightmare Demon, are also trapped in the White Cloud Continent."
"And a few days ago, the leader of the Divine Deity Sect sought out our leader and said that if they truly reached a desperate situation, they would come to our branch for refuge."
The Starlight Commander's face turned sour, "I'm not refusing, but in a situation like this, if they really come... then we'll truly be dead."
"Who in this world has the ability to silently transfer under the divine sense surveillance of the Frostblade Sword? It's as if they're holding a torch in the darkness, guiding the way wherever they go, and wherever they go, they set things on fire."
"If they really come... hehe..."
The Starlight Commander's face turned bleak as he said, "Then I can only disappoint Star Shao and the resources sent by Senior Shiqi."
Feng Shiqi frowned, "The Divine Deity Sect and your One Heart Sect are two different sects. The leader of the Divine Deity Sect actually asked a branch of the One Heart Sect to save their lives? What a shameless request!"
"I dare not say such words."
The Starlight Commander spread his hands helplessly.
"But this matter involves Senior Nightmare Demon... It's not something I can talk about."
Feng Shiqi said, "I can only say that I will immediately report to Star Shao. When the time comes, if Star Shao has a way, he will naturally contact you."
"I can only wait for Star Shao's news then."
The Starlight Commander sighed.
Feng Shiqi didn't stay long after that.
After the conversation, he left without hesitation.
...
After Feng Shiqi left, the Starlight Commander remained alone in the reception room, pondering over every word he had said for a long time.
Only after confirming that there were no issues did he finally heave a sigh of relief.
Indeed, this trip had been very fruitful.
As for the Nightmare Demon, the Starlight Commander wasn't relying on Star Shao.
Instead, he was relying on... the person behind Star Shao.
The same person who had sent Feng Shiqi to ask these questions and whom Feng Xing urgently needed to clear his name before.
He wanted to see if that person would make any moves.
But no matter what moves they made, what the Starlight Commander needed now was for Kou Yi Fang, the leader of the Divine Deity Sect, to make a move. Or for the Nightmare Demon to act! Given his current control over the White Cloud Continent, it was a matter of finding them and letting the Frostblade Sword deal with the Nightmare Demon.
"Make a move! Hurry up and make a move!" the Starlight Commander prayed in his heart.
A moment later, he exited the reception room.
Outside, he saw Zhao Wu Shang and Zheng Yunqi waiting.
The Starlight Commander noticed that their expressions were strange.
They were filled with surprise.
And disbelief.
It was as if a pie had fallen from the sky, just the right size, and landed directly in their mouths, bringing them joy.
They looked comfortable and relaxed, with every pore exuding a sense of pride.
"What's going on? You two look like you've eaten a fairy's fart."
The Starlight Commander rolled his eyes as he spoke.
"Hehe, there are two matters to report to the Commander," said Zheng Yunqi, his face filled with joy.
"What matters?"
"The order for the last group of 194 people to return home has also arrived."
Zheng Yunqi said, "We just received the order this afternoon, so tomorrow we'll prepare for the purchases, and the day after tomorrow, we'll set off."
The Starlight Commander rolled his eyes, "Yes, you're finally going home. Are you excited? Are you happy? You've been looking forward to this for a long time, haven't you?"
He sighed, "I've been working with these old hands for so long, and now they've all been reassigned. Everything has to start from scratch... Hehe, that's good too."
Zhao Wu Shang, his heart filled with joy, said, "Yes, we're also very happy."
"Then why are you still standing here? Go pack your things! Don't loiter in front of me!"
The Starlight Commander spoke with irritation.
But he also found it strange. Previously, when they mentioned returning home, these two seemed on the verge of tears, but now they were so happy.
"There's another matter to report."
Zhao Wu Shang excitedly said, "Commander, why don't you guess what it is?"
"I'm going to kick your ass!"
The Starlight Commander couldn't help but kick Zhao Wu Shang, pinning him to the wall. "Have you lost your mind today? How dare you ask me to guess! Don't you know I'm in a terrible mood right now?"
Zheng Yunqi looked at Zhao Wu Shang, struggling to free himself from the wall, with sympathy. "The second news is that we've also received appointments from the Headquarters."
"Appointments?"
The Starlight Commander was sensitive to these words and picked them out: "Isn't it the order to return home? How did it become an appointment? It seems you two have already received official positions? That's great. What positions are they? Tell me."
Zheng Yunqi smiled triumphantly.
It must be said that Zheng Yunqi had always been a calm person, and among the six hundred people, he was considered a 'think tank'.
But now he was grinning in a rather obnoxious manner, even surprising the Starlight Commander: "You... don't smile like that, it's creepy."
Zheng Yunqi continued to chuckle, "The Headquarters appointed me as the Vice Chief Escort of the Only Righteous Sect's Heavenly Escort Bureau."
"Huh?"
The Starlight Commander was stunned.
What kind of divine operation was this?
The Only Righteous Sect's Heavenly Escort Bureau?
What about the One Heart Sect? Where did it go?
Zhao Wu Shang finally freed himself from the wall and said, "Me too, I'm also appointed as the Vice Chief Escort of the Only Righteous Sect's Heavenly Escort Bureau... Commander, we don't have to leave! We don't have to leave, hahaha!"
Zhao Wu Shang was overjoyed.
"I don't understand. What does the Only Righteous Sect's Heavenly Escort Bureau mean?"
The Starlight Commander asked.
"Because we belong to the Headquarters family. If we were directly appointed in a branch of the One Heart Sect, it wouldn't be appropriate. So, our positions are quite unique. It means that we work in the Heavenly Escort Bureau under the Commander, but we don't take orders from the One Heart Sect."
Zheng Yunqi was quick-witted.
This arrangement was probably the Headquarters' consideration.
After all, if they were directly appointed as Vice Commanders in the One Heart Sect, it would be like a god descending to the mortal realm. But their appointments couldn't be this unique, because... once they set this precedent, how would they handle the future assignments of other families' children to subordinate sects and branches?
So no matter what, the three characters of the One Heart Sect had to be removed.
"In that case, this place is a branch of the One Heart Sect in the White Cloud Continent, and I'm the commander. I also serve as the General Escort Leader of the Heavenly Escort Bureau. As for you, you don't belong to the One Heart Sect's White Cloud branch, you only belong to the Heavenly Escort Bureau, right?"
The Starlight Commander asked.
"Yes, that's what I mean."
"Why is this so complicated?" Starlight Commander was speechless. "Isn't it the same thing?"
"It's not the same, it's very different."
Both of them were delighted.
They never expected that the matter they had longed for would be accomplished so easily.
Moreover, they didn't even know how it happened.
This was indeed a strange matter.
"In that case, congratulations to the two Vice Chief Escorts on their official appointment." The Starlight Commander said with a crooked smile.
However, the two of them bowed formally, "In the future, we hope the General Escort Leader will guide and teach us. We will surely fulfill our duties and follow the General Escort Leader's orders."
"Alright... You two, don't make such a big deal out of it."
The Starlight Commander sighed, "There are still one hundred and ninety-four people; if they find out, I estimate that you'll be torn to shreds tonight!"
"Then I'll have to be sad."
Zhao Wu Shang immediately put on a sad face, as if he was about to cry, "They're all going back, and I'm staying here, so sad... Haha..."
Suddenly, he couldn't control his laughter.
He was filled with a sense of schadenfreude.
Zheng Yunqi was speechless.
Zhao Wu Shang would be beaten to death.
Immediately, they saw the Starlight Commander fly up, and his large fists rained down on Zhao Wu Shang like a sand pot.
Bang, bang, bang...
Zhao Wu Shang cried out, "General Escort Leader... Spare me..."
"You can't control your emotions, let me help you with that."
The Starlight Commander continued to beat him up.
Zhao Wu Shang's cries shook the heavens.
After the beating, the schadenfreude mood was indeed gone, and he pouted with a bruised face.
Zheng Yunqi almost laughed, but she forced herself to control her emotions, showing a face full of resentment. It must be said that Zheng Yunqi's ability to control her emotions was quite impressive.
At least she didn't get beaten.
The Starlight Commander collected the resources he had just obtained and then wrapped up a large bundle of silver notes from the Heavenly Escort Bureau, returning to the Scholar's Residence with a full load.
These were Imperial-grade elixirs, and Ye Meng and Fang Qingyun couldn't use them for the time being.
"I can only enjoy them myself... Oh, it's not good to eat alone."
Fang Che looked at the abundant resources and suddenly felt like a nouveau riche.
Elixirs, there were plenty of them!
Resources, there were plenty of them!
Money, there was plenty of it!
This was a great opportunity!
"Oh my... This is truly..."
"It's so unfair. In this world, those with power and influence get to enjoy and possess more, while ordinary people may never even get a glimpse of these resources in their entire lives. It's truly unfair."
Fang Che sighed, and then his eyebrows and eyes smiled, "Fortunately, I'm part of that group with power and influence, able to enjoy and possess more... It's so refreshing."
Fang Che smiled with narrowed eyes, but as he continued to think, he realized that there was also an abundance of something else... Suddenly, he thought of: enemies, there were plenty of them.
At that moment... He became much more clear-headed.
"Damn it! This fucked-up world!"
After leaving, Feng Shi Qi was the first to receive a message from the person he had instructed, relaying the Starlight Commander's words exactly as they were said. After a long while, a message came from the other side: "Yes, very clear-headed."
Feng Shi Qi: "Family Head, should I report these exact words to Star Shao?"
"En. I estimate that he's also in a hurry. Go."
Feng Shi Qi then conveyed the Starlight Commander's words to Feng Xing, once again delivering the original message, and finally said, "Star Shao, the Family Head is very pleased."
On the other side, Feng Xing narrowed his eyes, and his heart finally settled.
"Haha... Starlight, you truly didn't disappoint my expectations! I knew this guy would understand my intentions! This unspoken understanding is truly amazing."
Feng Xing was excited. This represented the gradual removal of the greatest shackles on his body.
If Feng Xing had said these words himself, they wouldn't have had such an effect. However, when said by Feng Xing's subordinates, similar to a think tank, they could gain people's trust.
This was the relationship between people, even between father and son.
"Starlight, a talented person."
After putting down the Communication Jade, Feng Xing's eyes shone with divine light, and he murmured, "Feng Yun, my good big brother, our relationship, from now on, has only just begun."
"Starlight, we need to ask about the situation and first take care of his promotion within the One Heart Sect."
As he took out the Communication Jade, he suddenly froze.
He then remembered that he had completely disregarded the Yin Shengong. After their last meeting, they hadn't even exchanged Communication Jade information!
"Damn it..."
Star Shao sighed. The Southeast was in the midst of a major battle...
As for the matter of the Nightmare Demon that Starlight had mentioned, Feng Xing thought about it... and decided to ignore it. Let Starlight deal with it himself; Feng Yun had already gone over there, so I won't get involved.
...
The next day, the Guardian Palace was adorned with red decorations and colorful banners.
Everyone was busy.
Colorful flags fluttered in the breeze, and red banners were displayed, creating a festive atmosphere.
Everyone was bustling about, their faces filled with happy smiles.
When Fang Che entered, he was greeted by everyone's respectful and friendly gazes, and wherever he went, he was welcomed.
