Chapter 408: The Union of Two Scoundrels
Chapter 408: The Union of Two Scoundrels
How does the Chief fare?
Yun Jianqiu was stunned.
He didn't understand the meaning behind Fang Che's question.
But he felt as if he should understand.
Yet, for a moment, he couldn't find the words to answer this simple question.
After a brief moment of contemplation, he had walked a dozen steps alongside Fang Che before cautiously responding in a soft voice, "Perhaps, people... are still capable, but they are just a bit too arrogant."
"A bit arrogant, huh... Hehe, I understand."
Fang Che waved his hand and said, "You all go ahead, I'll go have some fun at the Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower."
"Then, have fun, Chief Fang."
Everyone waved goodbye.
With his hands behind his back, Fang Che walked leisurely with Ye Meng, heading towards the Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower, which was about seven or eight miles away.
If he used his movement technique, he could arrive in the blink of an eye.
But if he walked, it would naturally take some time.
However, Fang Che continued walking at a relaxed pace, matching the footsteps of an ordinary person.
In his mind, he constantly rehearsed his thoughts.
He went back and forth, preparing seven or eight plans for himself.
With so many reclusive sect disciples gathered here, if they had no purpose, he wouldn't believe it even if they smashed his head.
If they did have a purpose, what could it be?
Why did Feng Yun come?
Feng Yun definitely didn't come with these people, and they certainly didn't plan this together!
This was the first thing he could confirm.
If they were truly together, the situation on this continent would have changed long ago, and there would be no need to think about it.
So, Feng Yun's intention in coming here could only be the same as his: to find out what these people are doing here! And secondly, to cause trouble.
Could I and Feng Yun still have a chance to cooperate? Should we cooperate?
Fang Che's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his mind constantly building and then dismantling his thoughts.
Then, there was an even bigger problem: these core disciples from various reclusive sects must have powerful Guardians.
And these Guardians were likely to be cultivators at the level of supernatural transformation.
They were the backers of these disciples on their journey.
Feng Yun had the entire Only Righteous Sect as his backer, but what about Fang Che?
What was his backing?
What would happen if he went there like this?
As Fang Che thought about this, his eyebrows became increasingly cold and sharp.
"Fang Che! Why do you have the time to go shopping?"
A voice cried out in surprise, followed by a hearty laughter, "Fang School Flower, tsk tsk, seeing you reminds me of that name. It's so fitting for you, hehe... Is this your little sister? Cough, cough, cough..."
Fang Che looked up and saw a young man in front of him, dressed in white like snow, with a handsome face.
His face was cold and hard, and his eyes were sharp.
He looked like a person who was difficult to approach and gave off a cold aura.
Wearing a white robe, he exuded a sense of loneliness and aloofness, like a solitary peak amidst eternal snow and ancient peaks.
But when Fang Che saw this person's face, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Dong Yun Yu!
It's actually him, the person from the Heavenly Escort Bureau!
"Senior Brother Dong, how did you end up here?" Fang Che greeted with a smile.
Fang Che was well aware that with someone like Dong Yun Yu, you must never give him any opportunity.
Because he could turn a good situation into a complete mess at any moment!
If it were his own brother, he would have to blame himself for the mess.
"Reasonable... Hehe..."
Dong Yun Yu smirked and said, "A family's child defecates in public, and they dare to blame others. If it weren't for Senior Xue Fuxiao, their Xue family would be nothing."
Fang Che's face turned black, and he coughed repeatedly.
Don't say any more, or I'll offend the Xue family again!
"Don't worry, I'm here. If they come, just tell me."
Dong Yun Yu patted his chest proudly and said, "I'll tell you, dealing with this kind of thing, I have plenty of experience."
Your experience will only get me killed, brother.
Fang Che sighed inwardly, touched his nose, and smiled as he quickly changed the subject, "Senior Brother Dong, where are you coming from? Did you just return from a mission?"
In other words: Hurry up and go back to report your mission!
Dong Yun Yu smiled triumphantly and said, "It's just a minor matter, not worth mentioning. Seeing you today, I want to chat. Come, come, let's find a place to talk. There are so many interesting things to share. I've been holding it in, and my stomach is about to burst."
After completing his mission, he wanted to find Wu Zhi Bing, Hua Kai Xie, and others to have some fun.
But after searching, he couldn't find anyone.
No one could be found, and this scoundrel had no one to vent his mischief to, which made him truly unhappy.
The other students in the Martial Academy weren't worth his time; it would be pointless to bring them over just to humiliate them. They wouldn't even dare to glare at him, making it even more boring!
As he strolled down the street and restocked his supplies, he never expected to run into Fang Che, which was like a windfall for Dong Yun Yu.
Dong Yun Yu's desire to speak his mind suddenly surged, and he couldn't hold it back.
Fang Che's face turned pale as he said, "But I..."
Dong Yun Yu slapped Fang Che's shoulder again and pretended to be angry, glaring at him, "Do you still remember how you framed me and got yourself beaten up?"
With that slap, Fang Che felt as if a mountain had been placed on his shoulder.
He actually felt a little overwhelmed.
He couldn't help but be surprised in his heart: Has Dong Yun Yu's cultivation progressed so quickly?
Curiously, he asked, "Brother Dong, your cultivation has advanced greatly?"
This question was not without consequence.
It immediately scratched Dong Yun Yu's itch, and he laughed heartily, his tongue trembling wildly in his big mouth, "Hahaha, hahaha... It's just a tiny bit of progress, not worth mentioning, hahaha..."
Fang Che regretted asking him anything.
I shouldn't have asked him anything.
Sure enough, Dong Yun Yu started talking non-stop, his eyebrows dancing with excitement, "You don't know, this time I went to the outskirts of the Forest of Ten Thousand Spirits, tsk tsk, on the way I encountered... I killed... I dug up... I obtained... along the way..."
Oh my god!
Fang Che's head started to swell.
Circles were spinning before his eyes.
Finally, when Dong Yun Yu's endless river of words paused, he hurriedly pleaded, "Brother Dong, I have something else to do..."
Dong Yun Yu immediately understood, laughed, and said cheerfully, "It's perfect timing that you need my help, right? You're just too shy to ask, aren't you? No problem! Go ahead and tell me, I'm free!"
Fang Che's face darkened, "I don't have..."
"Hey!"
Dong Yun Yu pointed at his face with a smile, "Look at your face, it's so unhealthy. Clearly, you haven't fully recovered from your injuries, right? You young people are so stubborn. What's there to be shy about? I've already said I'm free, how could I possibly stand you up?"
He said with dissatisfaction, "I, Dong Yun Yu, have a reputation. Can I afford to go back on my word? Let me tell you, your Brother Dong is a golden brand in the martial world..."
Golden brand, these four words, Fang Che truly believed.
If it's about talking, you are undoubtedly the number one in the continent's history!
No one can match your ability to offend people! You've definitely paved a super invincible path, and it's a lonely path!
"Let's go, let's finish this quickly so we can have a drink."
Dong Yun Yu smiled and looked around, then said, "Besides, you're already married. You need to be more careful. Let me tell you, when finding a wife, don't look for one who's too beautiful. Find someone average-looking, live a stable life, and you'll be at ease when she's at home. If you find a beautiful wife, it's not necessarily a good thing. What if she can't bear the loneliness, and you're often away? You might end up with a head full of horns, hahaha, don't blame your sister, I'm not talking about you. I didn't mean that. I'm saying you're virtuous and kind..."
Ye Meng's icy gaze, filled with murderous intent, landed on Dong Yun Yu's face, and she felt a continuous wave of murderous impulses rising within her. Is this guy implying that I'm promiscuous?
I really want to draw my sword and cut him into pieces!
But Ye Meng's gaze had no effect on Dong Yun Yu.
It had no killing power at all.
He had experienced too many such gazes...
And this guy didn't even realize he had just offended someone.
He thought that he had stopped in time with his last sentence and even praised Ye Meng, thinking he had handled the situation well...
Fang Che sighed, "Brother Dong, your family... is there anything to say about their treatment of you?"
"Haha... You don't know about Brother Dong's lofty status!"
Dong Yun Yu proudly said, "In my family, I've already transcended the mundane world. When the elders see me, they smile approvingly, and they won't say anything."
Now it's clear.
You're beyond help... Your family has realized this and doesn't even want to bother managing you.
Basically, they've thrown you aside like a pile of rotten mud and stinking dog poop.
There's not even someone willing to teach you a lesson... After all, who wants to step on dog poop with clean shoes?
Fang Che completely understood the psychology of his family members.
But... at this moment.
A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Fang Che's mind!
If it were another matter, I could take Dong Yun Yu with me, but what kind of people are in the Four Seas Eight Corners Tower?
They're all from various secluded sects and the Only Righteous Sect.
If Dong Yun Yu goes to such a place, isn't it a perfect fit for his talents and abilities?
"Brother Dong, since you're willing to help, let's go quickly. It's just ahead."
Fang Che's enthusiasm surged, and he grabbed Dong Yun Yu's arm and started walking forward.
"What's the matter?"
"It's a good thing. It's a perfect opportunity for Brother Dong to shine..."
"Tell me more?"
"The situation is like this and that, and after you and I enter, we will do this and that..."
"Let's go, let's go."
Oh, there's such an interesting matter.
Dong Yun Yu, who always welcomes trouble and never shies away from big problems, followed excitedly.
Along the way, his white robe fluttered gracefully.
His tall figure.
His cold and sharp features.
His sharp eyes.
His cold gaze.
His entire being exuded an aura as cold as an iceberg, radiating a chilling atmosphere.
His presence was overwhelming!
But the words he spoke to Fang Che were completely out of character.
He touched Fang Che's fingers on the gold-embroidered robe, and his tone held a hint of envy, "This robe is actually quite good-looking. I originally wanted to find a position at the Guardian Headquarters too, but it's still up in the air."
"Why is it still up in the air?" Fang Che asked curiously.
"The Martial Academy gave me a recommendation letter, asking me to report to the Guardian Headquarters. Then I went to the White Cloud Continent Palace, and at that time, the Palace Master was Qin Jiang. Palace Master Qin said that my talents were being underutilized here, so he personally wrote a recommendation letter, asking me to report to the White Elephant Continent Palace. When I arrived at the White Elephant Continent Palace, the Palace Master there gave me another recommendation letter, asking me to go to the White Heron Continent Palace. Upon reaching the White Heron Continent Palace, I received yet another recommendation letter, asking me to go to the White..."
Dong Yun Yu sighed, "Anyway... when I arrived, I still had a recommendation letter in my hand... I was too lazy to go. I realized that they didn't want me... Going there wouldn't have helped anyway..."
Fang Che's face revealed a look of unbearable injustice, "That's too much!"
"Yes, it's too much. That's why I still haven't put on this robe.
Dong Yun Yu's mood took a dip, but he quickly perked up, "But now, with my rapid cultivation progress, I'm too lazy to continue being a Protector. I plan to directly take the Guardian assessment."
Fang Che sincerely encouraged him, "You will definitely succeed! The Guardians need people like you to join!"
Dong Yun Yu boasted, "As Dong Yun Yu, a fine man, I can succeed anywhere!"
Dong Yun Yu continued, "Why bother hanging around the Guardian Palace? What kind of place is that? A bunch of people sitting around, doing nothing, just waiting to die. What have they accomplished in all these years? They are a bunch of useless people. Calling them trash would be an insult to trash... Cough, School Flower Fang, I'm not talking about you."
As he spoke, he noticed Fang Che's face darken like the bottom of a pot, and quickly changed his words, "You're amazing, you're my junior, and you're a bit better than trash!"
Fang Che forcefully suppressed the urge to punch this despicable person in the face, and smiled through gritted teeth, "I heard that Wu Zhi Bing, Hua Kai Xie, and Jun He Fang, the three seniors, are doing a great job at the Guardian Palace..."
Dong Yun Yu haughtily replied, "Those three are just rats!"
Fang Che closed his mouth and took a few quick steps away.
He understood that the only way to deal with this despicable person was to speak less!
Otherwise, he could latch onto a single topic and offend everyone in the world.
That mouth was like a super weapon.
"Dong Shixiong, it's truly a miracle that you're still alive," Fang Che couldn't help but say.
"Yeah."
Dong Yun Yu arrogantly said, "I'm a person who is best at creating miracles and constantly breaking new records."
He flicked his hair, creating a 'hua' sound as it snapped from left to right, emitting a crisp sound. With style, he said, "A man should be like this!"
Fang Che had already spotted the Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower and, with a sigh of relief, quickly walked towards it.
"Stop comparing me to Wu Zhi Bing and his gang. It lowers my standards..."
Dong Yun Yu followed closely behind, chattering incessantly.
Hong Er Tui was standing idly in front of the Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower, with his chest puffed out and his hand on his sword hilt, looking majestic in his uniform.
From a distance, he felt a sudden brightness in his eyes.
A grin spread across his face like a lapdog, and he rushed forward, drooling, "Vice Sect Leader Fang, hey, Vice Sect Leader Fang, your body is doing well?"
"It's fine. How about you?" Fang Che asked with a smile, "With your wedding approaching, are you all set?"
Hong Er Tui smiled sincerely, "Thank you for your concern, Vice Sect Leader Fang. I'm almost done with the preparations. I'm paying for it, and everyone is helping me. I still have a task to complete... But with everyone's help, I'm at ease."
"That's good. If I remember correctly, it's in ten days, on the tenth, right?"
Fang Che asked.
"Yes, yes! Yes!" Hong Er Tui exclaimed with delight, "Thank you, Vice Sect Leader Fang, for remembering."
"Not only do I remember, but I'll also be there to drink at the wedding. Make sure to prepare some good wine, or you'll lose face in front of the brothers," Fang Che joked.
"I absolutely won't! It must be a feast! Every table will be a feast!"
Hong Er Tui vowed, almost swearing.
"That's good."
Fang Che asked, "Is it quiet inside the tower now?"
"It's never quiet... This beautiful eight-sided tower has a huge platform in the middle, and it's just been completed... Oh, this project is so grand!"
Hong Er Tui explained, "These guys are so energetic, Vice Sect Leader Fang. You don't know, but in the past two days, they've brought in more than twenty thousand wine barrels that are over a hundred years old. Are they planning to bathe in this good wine? Every day, there are thousands of empty wine barrels."
Fang Che suddenly asked, "What about the empty wine barrels?"
"I collected them, they're useful to me," Hong Er Tui replied without thinking.
Then he froze.
Fang Che's face turned black with anger.
Staring at Hong Er Tui, he felt an urge to smash his ugly head into his neck cavity.
This bastard was indeed planning this!
"You're shameless!"
Fang Che pointed a finger at Hong Er Tui's forehead and scolded, "The brothers are running around for you, and you're planning to let them drink fake wine!"
"No, no... No, no, no, I won't dare, Vice Sect Leader Fang. I won't dare..."
Hong Er Tui quickly pleaded, his face turning pale.
"I just collected them to sell... I really didn't mean it. The wine we're drinking may not be aged enough, but it's definitely real. I swear, Vice Sect Leader Fang, you have to believe me!"
"If I find out you're serving fake wine, I'll cancel your wedding immediately!" Fang Che threatened in a low voice.
"I swear to my ancestors that I won't dare to serve fake wine! I'll definitely let everyone drink real wine!"
Hong Er Tui was startled and quickly swore.
In his heart, he calculated that serving real wine would cost a lot of money, which he didn't have. He wondered who he could borrow money from.
Yun Jian Qiu? That guy should be able to lend some money, right? And if he doesn't return, the money will be saved...
"You better behave yourself!"
Fang Che's warning.
Hong Er Tui Zi nodded repeatedly, agreeing in unison.
Dong Yun Yu looked at Hong Er Tui Zi, her eyes slightly strange.
There was such a talent in the Guardian Palace, one had to say, it felt a bit... like encountering a kindred spirit... although this kindred spirit was rather weak.
So, she patted Hong Er Tui Zi's shoulder and said, "You still need to put in more effort."
Hong Er Tui Zi instinctively nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes. You're right."
Since he was with Fang Zong, he must be an important figure, so it was only right to curry favor with him.
"So, do you know where I want you to put in more effort?" Dong Yun Yu asked.
"Where?" Hong Er Tui Zi was perplexed.
"In your area of expertise." Dong Yun Yu said.
"Area of expertise? What am I good at?" Hong Er Tui Zi scratched his head, a bit confused.
Dong Yun Yu's clothes fluttered, her hair swaying in the wind, her expression cold and lofty, as if she were about to ride the wind and leave. With a light touch, she gently tapped Hong Er Tui Zi's lips, smiling but not speaking.
Hong Er Tui Zi was left speechless.
Watching Fang Che and Ye Meng enter the Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower...
Hong Er Tui Zi muttered to himself, "This must be a bitch..."
Then, he suddenly widened his eyes, "Hey, how did Fang Zong get in? There's no one from our side in there!"
...
Fang Che, with his hands behind his back, escorted Dong Yun Yu and Ye Meng into the Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower.
The manager was at the counter, frowning, looking worried. The waiter beside him also had a face full of fear.
Apparently, the Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower was filled with people from the Heavenly Palace and other reclusive sects, and each one of them had a sense of trepidation in their hearts.
After all, everyone knew that these guys were not to be messed with.
Perhaps a disagreement between two people could lead to a fight, and the entire Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower would be destroyed.
How could they not feel anxious and fearful? It was as if they couldn't even dare to breathe.
Someone inside shouted for hot water, and the waiter almost had to run to keep up, or else they would feel like their heads were no longer on their necks.
A round of scolding was not enough, but that knife-like gaze of dissatisfaction; as ordinary people, these waiters would have several sleepless nights ahead of them.
In their dreams, they would see a flash of sword light falling on their necks, and they would wake up with a scream of horror...
This feeling was indescribably refreshing.
Even these people, who were modifying their own inn, the staff of the Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower, felt a sense of awe.
Bu Chou's reputation could scare off nine out of ten people under the heavens.
But today, the people staying in this inn, they would not be scared off.
This was the strength of these top-ranked reclusive sects!
Fang Che walked into the main hall, and the manager immediately stood up and looked up, seeing the Guardian Palace uniform, Fang Che's face, and instantly, the old manager greeted him like a beloved mother.
"Fang Zong, why have you come? What an honor."
Fang Che smiled, "I heard that business has been booming recently, so I came to take a look."
The manager's face turned pale, and he lowered his voice, shaking his head, his face filled with vicissitudes, wanting to speak but stopping, "Fang Zong... Oh... This money... this money... is hard to earn..."
"What's so difficult? Open the doors and do business, welcome guests from all directions."
Fang Che comforted, "Doing business is just like this. What should be earned must be earned, and life must go on. No matter the cultivation level, no matter the status, no matter the power, but this place is just an inn. Even if they are unreasonable, they still have to pay for their stay! Rest assured, moreover, we have the Guardian Palace to stand up for you."
"Thank you, Fang Zong, for your kind words."
"Give me their guest list, and I'll go in and verify it."
Fang Che smiled, "Coming to our side, we must follow the rules."
Fang Che wanted to see the list first to have a better understanding of the situation.
The manager's face almost turned pale, almost fainting, "Fang Zong, please forgive me."
"This isn't your fault."
Fang Che sighed, "But them not registering is also wrong. This way, we from the Guardian Palace cannot monitor, protect, or have a clear understanding of the situation."
"This is against the rules."
Fang Che said, "Send someone with me to register."
"Register?"
"It's a must! This is our Guardian Palace's rule! These people dare to do this, is there any justice left?"
Fang Zong's face was filled with righteous indignation and impartiality.
...
In the afternoon, hearing about piracy, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised. Fifteen years have passed, and they are still watching pirated content? Brothers, come back and make up for it. We've been waiting for you, for fifteen years. I want to spend a few dollars on you guys."
