Chapter 417: The Setup
Chapter 417: The Setup
Yan Bei Han was in a hurry, sending message after message.
"Night Demon! You bastard, where the hell are you?"
"You're clearly Fang Che! What are you pretending for?! Playing tricks, do you really think you've fooled me?"
"Don't think I can't see through it! The flaws you've shown are just too obvious!"
"..."
Yan Bei Han sent over a dozen messages in a row.
But all of them were met with silence, as if they had sunk into the sea, without a single response. Night Demon was completely ignoring her!
At this moment, Yan Bei Han truly panicked.
Could it be that Night Demon really isn't Fang Che?
Yan Bei Han furrowed her brows, thinking carefully, analyzing, and deducing...
It seemed that from the beginning, she had only assumed that Fang Che was Night Demon, based on a peculiar feeling.
But the origin of this feeling was a single sentence from Seal God Palace.
That sentence from Seal God Palace had given her a direction, leading her to this conclusion.
However, at present, the situation seemed to become more and more confusing.
The assumption that 'Fang Che is Night Demon, and Night Demon is Fang Che' was fundamentally shaken.
Night Demon's attitude was resolute.
And he seemed a little angry, believing that she was toying with him! But how did this misunderstanding start?
Yan Bei Han bit her lip, still feeling uncertain. Seeing that Duan Xi Yang was playing chess, she walked over and said, "Grandpa Duan, I want to go down there."
Duan Xi Yang held a chess piece, looking at his own game that was already at a disadvantage, feeling a bit troubled.
After only a few moves, not even reaching the middle game, how was it that his hidden piece seemed to be on the verge of being slaughtered? Why did the other side make an eye, and then it became a fake eye when the opponent clamped it from both sides?
If this long string of moves couldn't escape, and it was directly killed by the opponent, wouldn't it be like my entire army was wiped out? Wouldn't there be none of my pieces left on the chessboard?
Where should I make a move to escape? How should I run?
Hearing Yan Bei Han's question, Duan Xi Yang replied without hesitation, "What do you want to do down there?"
"I want to chat with that Fang Zhi Shi who's in charge of registrations." Yan Bei Han said stubbornly.
"He's a Guardian, with a different stance from yours. What do you want to chat with him about?" Duan Xi Yang said casually.
"But we did have a connection during the Youth Friendship Battle."
"That was a battle, not a connection. Moreover, with your current identity, it's not appropriate to be so straightforward." Duan Xi Yang pinched a chess piece, his brows furrowed.
Yan Bei Han had no choice but to transmit her thoughts, "I suspect that this Fang Che is Night Demon, and I want to go down and confirm it."
"???"
Duan Xi Yang's heart stirred, and he looked up, his brows furrowing, "Absurd!"
He knew Fang Che's true identity.
But this was something he couldn't let Yan Bei Han know. Just looking at this girl's current behavior of wanting to go down and confirm her suspicions was enough to make him feel that she couldn't be allowed to know the truth! The matter was of great importance.
What if she accidentally exposed the truth?
These young girls were the least trustworthy.
"Why not?"
Yan Bei Han was persistent.
"No."
Duan Xi Yang's answer was firm.
He then turned back to study the chessboard.
No?
These two words felt like two hammers, striking Yan Bei Han's heart.
No?
Instantly, Yan Bei Han's heart sank, feeling a bit dejected. How could it not be? My intuition, which had never been wrong for so many years, why was it wrong this time?
Could it be that this time, I was truly misled by that sentence from Seal God Palace?
She sat there in a daze, not wanting to speak.
She only felt that her once clear mind had suddenly become a tangled mess.
In a battle of wits with Night Demon, she had been utterly defeated!
Biting her lip, she slowly sorted it out, and finally confirmed: there was no evidence to prove that Fang Che was Night Demon; it had always been her one-sided speculation and feeling.
"Oh!"
Yan Bei Han sighed deeply, feeling as if all her strength had been drained.
She took out her communication jade and sent a message to Night Demon, "I'm sorry, I always felt that you were Fang Che, but now I think I might have mistaken you. I apologize. I'm currently in White Cloud Continent. When will you be back? I'll hand over the Divine Metal to you then."
Fang Che received the message and opened it, but couldn't help but ponder.
Was it a genuine apology or a strategic move?
But... right now, in this building, no matter how I receive it, it's still a flaw.
"If things go smoothly, I'll be back in White Cloud Continent in three or four days. If not, it might take up to six or seven days."
Fang Che thought for a moment and replied, "I hope that in the future, your tests won't be so sudden... Also, if you want to deal with Fang Che, feel free to take action without considering me."
Yan Bei Han's face flushed with embarrassment, feeling ashamed.
I actually guessed wrong.
Biting her lip, she sent a message, "Okay. Let me know when you're back."
She put down the communication jade and sighed deeply.
For the first time, Yan Bei Han felt a sense of defeat.
This feeling was unpleasant.
Such a low-level mistake, being led around by a single sentence, and not realizing it for so long, only becoming more certain in her feeling, ultimately causing such a big mix-up, a big joke!
"I can't do this again in the future.
…
Yan Bei Han silently warned himself.
Downstairs.
Fang Che finally let out a long sigh of relief, "Oh my god, that scared me! This girl's intuition, so sharp!"
It is said that a woman's intuition is the most terrifying weapon in the world. Now it seems, it's indeed true.
Ye Meng's intuition was like this, and Yan Bei Han's intuition was also like this.
Women... are too scary!
...
Guardian Headquarters.
Dongfang Sansan finally received the news.
"The Heavenly Palace, Netherworld, and Reclusive Sect gathering at the Seal God Palace? The Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower gathering? The convergence of Fengyun?"
Dongfang Sansan's eyebrows immediately furrowed.
This news came a bit late.
Until...
Fang Che, along with Ye Meng and Dong Yun Yu, entered the Four Seas and Eight Corners Tower... This news arrived.
Dongfang Sansan's furrowed brows remained unchanged.
But her heart was finally at ease.
"Check who they all are, but this news, I received it too late."
Dongfang Sansan sighed in disappointment, "Knowing this only now, I'm afraid everything is already too late."
Xue Fuxiao sighed and said, "Go there as soon as possible, you should still be able to make it."
Dongfang Sansan slowly shook her head, "It's useless, I estimate that this time... it should be the time when the Yin and Yang Qi and the Qi of Fortune intertwine and take shape. We are destined to be one step too late this time."
Dongfang Sansan sighed.
Squeezing the intelligence report, she returned to her room with a heavy heart.
Rui Qianshan rushed over and said, "Ninth Brother, it's not necessarily too late. Whoever you think is suitable, I'll immediately fly there with him on my sword, and it'll be done."
Dongfang Sansan's face showed a dazed expression, but in reality, she was speechless.
You're such a... how come you're everywhere?
Xue Fuxiao angrily said, "You don't know anything! If you fly there on your sword, wouldn't it be like telling them that we want to do that?"
Ningxue Jian said, "But we originally wanted to do that, right?"
Xue Fuxiao grabbed Ningxue Jian's shoulder and said, "Come in and discuss it!"
Then, Yu Tianqi rushed in, "Rui Qianshan, come, I have a feeling today."
Ningxue Jian was startled, "But I don't have any feeling today..."
"You two fight it out." Dongfang Sansan waved her hand, "Let's let Little Xue handle this, after all, Little Xue is more reliable."
As Ningxue Jian let out a mournful howl, she was dragged away by Yu Tianqi.
Xue Fuxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, "This jerk, almost ruined everything. I'm telling you, Sansan, from now on, major matters should be left to me. This guy, Rui Qianshan, is unreliable. The things he's done recently have all backfired..."
Xue Fuxiao started to frantically apply eye drops to Ningxue Jian.
"... So shameless, so cheap, so stupid, and brainless. Completely stubborn and foolish, with nothing but soy milk in his head, and it's black soy milk at that."
Xue Fuxiao ranted.
She mercilessly suppressed him.
Dongfang Sansan gave Xue Fuxiao a sidelong glance, her cold eyes waiting for him to finish.
Only then did she let out a laugh, "Heh."
Xue Fuxiao's forehead veins throbbed.
Although it was just one word, Xue Fuxiao felt as if he had received tons of damage.
"You can leave now."
Dongfang Sansan pointed to the door and said, "Calculate the time, go find Feng Guohai from the Feng family. Then, when you calculate that you won't make it in time, desperately bring Feng Guohai to the White Cloud Continent. Understand?"
Xue Fuxiao stared, "Feng Guohai? Must we not make it in time?"
"Yes!"
"Then..."
"Go quickly!"
Dongfang Sansan said, "Hurry up! It's urgent, so you must delay the time, then rush on the road, and then you must not make it in time! Keep in touch with me."
"Okay."
With a whoosh, a sound of piercing the air sharply attracted the attention of the entire headquarters.
Everyone saw Xue Fuxiao suddenly rising into the air, immediately transforming into a sword light that slashed through the sky towards the northwest, desperately rushing away.
When they turned to look.
They saw the Ninth Brother standing on the balcony, his face solemn as he watched Xue Fuxiao's departing direction.
Everyone's hearts were heavy, and they dared not make a sound.
...
At the headquarters of the Only Righteous Sect.
Yan Nan received the news.
He immediately let out a cold laugh, "You already know it's too late, but you still want to fight? Dongfang Sansan, you really want it all! Are there such cheap things? If it's like this and you still let them catch up with the Yin and Yang Qi and the Qi of Fortune, then aren't we from the Only Righteous Sect just eating dry rice?"
He made a quick decision and immediately took action.
His voice was resolute as he gave a stern order, "Take the Madman Spear, Hundred Battles Saber, and Heavenly King Flute; set off immediately, intercept Xue Fuxiao on the road from the northwest to the southeast, delay his journey, and under no circumstances, let him reach the White Cloud Continent!"
"Absolutely delay it for seven days! If seven days is not enough, follow my orders at any time!"
"Yes!"
