Chapter 477: Master, Something Terrible Has Happened! 【10,000 Words!】 (Part 1)

Fang Qianyi smiled and said, "So after I returned, I never mentioned your father's name. Because your father never came back, your situation was already... If someone else teases you using your father's name, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it."

Fang Che couldn't help but smile as well.

"Then... what happened in the end? Did my father... pass away or leave?" Fang Che asked.

"I don't know either," Fang Qianyi frowned and recalled, "On that last day, your father said a lot to me. He told me he was an extraordinary hero and asked me not to feel inferior because of him in the future."

"He also said that his current appearance was unavoidable, but he would definitely recover one day and return to the battlefield to slay demons and exterminate monsters."

"He also told me that if one day he's not by my side, I should wait for him. As long as I don't see his corpse, I shouldn't believe he's dead. I should wait for him to come back."

"He also said that when he returns, we'll live a good life together and make up for a lifetime..."

Fang Qianyi's expression was filled with reminiscence as she recalled the day of their separation.

"He also said a lot of incomprehensible things. Towards the end, he said he wanted to eat some fruit. When he came here, he saw a few fruit trees on the other side of the mountain, and now the fruits should be ripe. He wanted to eat a couple."

"So I went to pick fruits for him. When I got there, I couldn't find any fruit trees. After searching two mountain peaks, I only picked a few peaches. But by the time I returned, your father was already gone."

"There were no traces of his departure, and he just disappeared like that. It was as if he had melted into the air."

"I searched frantically in several directions, but I couldn't find him. The valley suddenly became as quiet as a tomb."

"I didn't give up and waited there... But after half a month, I realized that I was already pregnant. Helpless, I had no choice but to return home."

"I imagined that I had told your father more than once that I was the daughter of the Fang family in Green Wave City. I always thought that when he got better, he would find the Fang family to take me away..."

Fang Qianyi smiled lightly and said, "But until today, he still hasn't come."

"I didn't dare to leave, and I didn't dare to die... I just kept waiting. As I waited, you grew up."

Fang Qianyi smiled, but tears streamed down her face.

Fang Che and Ye Meng were speechless.

Fang Qianyi completely skipped over the process of how her parents met and fell in love.

There must have been more to their relationship than just these few incidents.

This could be imagined from Fang Qianyi's narration.

But those... were no longer important. Or perhaps those memories were just Fang Qianyi's own personal recollections.

If Fang Che's father never returns, Fang Qianyi will likely reminisce about those past events alone, all the way to her death.

Fang Che was stunned and exclaimed, his eyes wide, "So you're saying my father never knew he had a son?"

"He doesn't know a thing! He's such an idiot!" Fang Qianyi pouted.

Fang Che was speechless.

So my father didn't even know about me, and I'm already nineteen, almost twenty!

This is... tsk tsk tsk... so frustrating.

"What does he look like?" Fang Che asked.

"Your father is very handsome," Fang Qianyi smiled and said, "Basically, he looks similar to you, but with thicker and bushier eyebrows, a more defined face, and a slightly larger Adam's apple."

"As for height and build, he's about the same as you, maybe a little thinner."

Fang Qianyi appraised her son and said, "But you're the best-looking. You're more handsome than your father because your mother is beautiful."

Ye Meng couldn't help but laugh.

Fang Che also found it amusing and said, "Of course, I inherited my mother's unparalleled beauty."

"That's right," Fang Qianyi lifted her chin and said, "To be honest, your mother was the number one beauty in Green Wave City when she was young. With your father's looks... If I hadn't been ambushed, it wouldn't have been his turn, a sickly fellow like him... Hmph!"

Fang Che said, "Mother, you're still the number one beauty in Green Wave City."

Fang Qianyi smiled and said, "You're just flattering me. Your father is much more honest than you, and he's not as smooth with words. Sometimes he can't even fart after three hits..."

"Is that so? He's not good with words?"

"Usually, he's very serious. He has a sharp gaze, like a formidable swordsman or a scholar about to start scolding someone."

"Hmm..."

Fang Che touched his nose, his mind quickly forming an image.

Based on Fang Qianyi's description, he could roughly imagine what his father looked like.

As for whether he could be found or not, that was still uncertain.

But Fang Che was certain about one thing: he shouldn't be dead! The mysterious disappearance was a major doubt. Moreover, before disappearing, he had a premonition and said so many things to his mother.

This was clearly a farewell, not a final arrangement.

This proved that he was fully aware of the situation.

"Did my father ever mention where he was from?" Fang Che asked.

"Umm, no," Fang Qianyi replied.

Fang Che asked, "Mother, you were together for so long, and you didn't even know where your man was from. You just married him so casually?"

Fang Qianyi scratched her head and said, "I asked him a few times, and he said it was very far. When I asked again, he said he was afraid of bringing trouble to me, that he had too many enemies. He promised to take me home to see his family after he recovered, but I never asked again."

Fang Che took a deep breath and said, "This old fellow, he doesn't have three wives and four concubines at home, does he?"

Bang! Fang Qianyi became furious and knocked on her son's head, scolding, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who speaks of your father like that? Moreover, with his sickly appearance, who would even look at him?

"That's not necessarily true. Didn't you say he's very handsome?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Fang Qianyi hummed, "Your father, that silent gourd, is definitely not that kind of person."

Fang Che then formed a new impression: His father was very quiet. And very principled! So much so that after all these years, Fang Qianyi had never said a bad word about him, and even today, he still had full trust in him!

Thinking about it, he sighed, "It's also thanks to you, Mother, having such a temperament, that we've managed to get through so many years. If you were more sentimental..."

Ye Meng lowered her head, wanting to laugh but also feeling like crying.

Fang Che's words really hit the nail on the head. If it weren't for Fang Qianyi's carefree and open-minded temperament, and instead had a more cautious and sensitive nature, these years would have been truly unbearable.

Fang Qianyi himself didn't mind and said, "Hey, what's the big deal? If I were to fall and die, what would you do? Besides, if I had died early on, how could I have enjoyed the blessings of today?"

"That's true. From now on, when I'm out and about, I'll keep an eye out and try to catch him sooner."

Fang Che replied.

Fang Qianyi nodded, "You're now the number one Wang in the world, and your father is no match for you. When you fight him, go easy on him."

Fang Che laughed, "So you still want to beat him up?"

"Are you saying that all these years of hardship for us mother and son were for nothing?" Fang Qianyi glared at him.

"Alright then."

In the afternoon.

Fang Qianyi continued to chop the filling for dumplings for her son.

Then, the two of them secretly listened as she seemed to be talking to herself.

Using her divine consciousness to listen, they heard Fang Qianyi muttering under her breath while chopping the dumpling filling with a 'thud, thud, thud' sound.

"Three wives and four concubines! Three wives and four concubines! Three wives and four concubines..."

After a few chops, she would mutter something, and then continue chopping.

The force of her chops grew stronger, and the chopping board echoed with a loud 'thud, thud' sound.

It was as if she was chopping someone with a knife.

Ye Meng almost laughed out loud, and Fang Che said, "That phrase 'three wives and four concubines' you said has caused trouble."

Fang Che was nonchalant, "That old scumbag deserves a beating. He abandoned his orphan and widow and went off to enjoy himself. What's wrong with me giving him some eye medicine... Once he's back, I'll give him eye medicine every day. Old scumbag! Serves him right!"

Fang Che spent five days in Bi Bo City, feeling completely at ease.

During this time, he even accepted the invitation to a banquet at the Guard Hall of Bi Bo City.

On the first day of his return, Fang Qianyi was overjoyed and so excited that she almost cried.

On the second day of his return, Fang Qianyi was filled with happiness and contentment, eagerly serving her son.

On the third day of his return, Fang Qianyi started to feel a bit dissatisfied.

On the fourth day of his return, Fang Qianyi had already started urging him, "Shouldn't you be heading back? Isn't it busy over there?"

By the fifth day, Fang Qianyi, seeing that Fang Che had trampled on her beloved orchids, lost her temper at him, "Go! Leave now! You're driving me crazy. Is it not a day if you don't cause some trouble?"

Early morning of the sixth day.

Fang Che discovered that the dumplings his mother had prepared for him had already been packed.

Neatly and tidily.

"Is there anything else you need to take?"

Fang Qianyi asked.

"No."

"If there's nothing else, then let's go."

"I want to stay with you a few more days..."

"No, no, no... You have a wife, a family, and work to attend to. Don't delay things... Go, go, go..."

Fang Che's face was filled with helplessness.

He was driven out of the house.

In the end, when he was truly riding away on horseback, Fang Qianyi couldn't bear to part with him, her eyes red as she watched her son ride away, tears falling again.

Fang Zhenghang was speechless.

"You, you're always longing for your son when he's not around."

"That's because I miss him."

"You've finally got him back after all this time, and now you're already getting impatient after just a few days? What's going on?"

"I'm just annoyed with him."

"If you're so annoyed, why are you crying now that he's finally left?"

"I just can't bear to part with him."

"..."

Fang Zhenghang completely broke down, looking up at the sky with a face full of vicissitudes. He reached back to scratch his neck.

"You've made me feel so itchy all over..."

"Women, women..."

...

Fang Che and Ye Meng rode their horses back on the return journey.

Along the way, Fang Che began replying to Yan Beihan's message from three days ago.

"Night Demon, I've returned to headquarters, no need to worry."

This single sentence made Fang Che roll his eyes for three days, unsure of how to respond.

And 'no need to worry'? Who's worrying about you?

"Yan, you've worked hard on your journey. Take good rest."

Fang Che thought about it and decided to reply.

But...

Yan Beihan immediately responded, "Night Demon, how dare you! I sent you a message, and you took three days to reply? What's your intention?"

"I've been refining the divine metal and have been in closed-door cultivation for three days. Please forgive me, Yan."

"Oh, so have you refined it?"

"Not yet."

Yan Beihan was clearly satisfied.

The divine metal was indeed difficult to refine, and it was normal for Night Demon to be in closed-door cultivation for three days.

In fact, the divine metal that Yan Beihan had sent to Fang Che was still in the nurturing stage, and it had not yet reached the point where it could be refined.

The reason for this was that Fang Che already had a Nether World.

If he were to obtain another divine metal, it would undoubtedly cause divine consciousness turbulence and provoke strong dissatisfaction from the Nether World.

Therefore... he must nurture it for a longer period.

There must be someone in this world who possesses two or even three divine metal weapons, that's for certain.

But that doesn't mean Fang Che knows what to do.

So, on this issue, Fang Che must be cautious.

Moreover, he needs to wait for an opportunity to seek guidance from a true expert before proceeding.

If he were to rashly attempt to refine it immediately after obtaining it, and if the Nether World and the new divine metal's spirit fought within the divine consciousness realm...

One could only imagine the consequences.

The Nether World now had the support of the Golden Horned Dragon, which had absorbed the yin energy of the mountains and seas, while the newly refined spirit was extremely weak.

After a single battle, it's not uncommon to fall into a deep slumber for ten thousand years...

Fang Che had a very open-minded attitude about this: "Of course I was anxious before I got my hands on her. But now that she's my wife, why should I be in a hurry? I can do it anytime."

"Night Demon, I've already talked to Grandpa about doing something. But he has one requirement, which is that my cultivation must be at least Venerable Rank 6th Grade."

"He can give me the authority, but the cultivation requirement is non-negotiable. What do you think this means?" Yan Beihan asked.

"It depends on the cultivation level of my subordinates and the people they can bring in. In the past, it was mainly my subordinates who took action, and there was no need for Yan Beihan himself to get involved."

Therefore, regarding Yan Nan's cultivation requirement, Yan Beihan had a vague guess, but he still wanted to hear Night Demon's advice.

Fang Che immediately understood.

"Elder Yan, this is your opportunity, but the old man didn't explicitly say so."

"This is not just about cultivation and improving your cultivation. This is just a small part of the requirement. The real requirement is... to give you this time to form your own team. This is your first test!"

"You are still a junior, a younger generation, and have never done anything before. If I were to suddenly give you a group of people, without any experience, you would still have to rely on the prestige of the Deputy Chief of the Sect, not your own prestige, Miss Yan."

"So this team is the first test."

Fang Che quickly replied.

"Oh, I think so too."

Yan Beihan also had this guess, and Fang Che's words made her even more certain.

"Do you have any suggestions for forming a faction?"

Yan Beihan sincerely sought advice.

"This..."

"What are your plans, Elder Yan? Or do you have any backup plans?" Fang Che asked in return.

Yan Beihan said, "Since ancient times, the first step in forming a faction is to establish a core. So, the first thing I decided was the leader. Of course, I would be the first, but who do you think would be the second?"

"Do we need more than one leader?" Fang Che asked.

"Yes, only two!"

Yan Beihan said, "Currently, there are three candidates: Chen Xue, Feng Xue, and Bi Yunyan. Which one do you think I will choose?"

"Bi Yunyan!"

Fang Che answered without hesitation.

"Why?"

Yan Beihan held the communication jade, a smile on her lips.

Night Demon truly lived up to her name.

Impressive!

"Chen Xue is from the Chen family, and Feng Xue is from the Feng family. When there are no major issues of principle, they are your good friends. But once you form a team and challenge Feng Yun on the arena, Feng Xue will definitely not side with you."

"And Chen Xue is the same. Is there even a need to guess?" Fang Che said.

"How do you know so clearly?" Yan Beihan asked.

"I'm not sure, I'm just speculating based on their surnames. After all, blood relations are more important than anything else."

"Feng Yun is well-known, and from my interactions with Chen Yin, I can sense that he is not a small-minded person and is not content with the status quo. Since this is the case, you will inevitably become rivals."

"So you can only choose the third option, Bi Yunyan."

Fang Che said.

"Then why didn't you suspect that I might also become a rival to the Bi family in the future?" Yan Beihan asked.

Fang Che was a bit puzzled, "Elder Yan, you want to choose a deputy, and you've made that clear. You've given three options, and since you've already eliminated two, the remaining one is the obvious choice. Is there a need to investigate Bi Yunyan's family background?"

Yan Beihan stuck out her tongue.

She realized how stupid she had been.

There were only three options, and Night Demon had eliminated two... so the remaining one was the obvious choice. She couldn't believe she had asked such a simple question.

She chuckled and said, "So I've decided on Bi Yunyan."

Fang Che asked, "What's Bi Yunyan's background?"

"She's the descendant of the Deputy Chief of the Sect."

"Hmm..."

"The descendant of Deputy Chief Bi Changhong?" Fang Che asked.

"Yes."

"Are there any outstanding male descendants in the Bi family, like Feng Yun or Chen Yin?" Fang Che inquired.

"No. Among the current generation and the previous generations in the Bi family, the one with the best aptitude is Bi Yunyan." Yan Beihan gave a precise assessment.

"That's quite suitable, then."

"If that's the case, it's truly a good match. If the Bi family places their hopes on Bi Yunyan, it would be even more suitable."

These words made Yan Beihan's eyes light up.

If that's the case, it's not impossible...

"What about the core strength?"

"The core strength is what I really want to discuss with you."

Yan Beihan smiled.

Fang Che immediately understood, "Ling Kong Xi Yun and the others?"

Yan Beihan said, "You're quick. These people are all usable, and they've been my playmates since childhood. More importantly, they have a good relationship with you as well. They are all connected and can communicate at any time."

Fang Che pondered, "If that's the case, where will you place the experts you recruit, like the elders from the Cloud Sword Spectrum?"

"After all, without high-level experts, you can't accomplish what you want to do!"

Yan Beihan confidently said, "I've already planned for this. All experts above the Sage Rank are considered borrowed strength from the sect. Although they are under my command, they don't belong to my organization."

"They are all called Guest Scholars."

"These Guest Scholars have a promotion system based on their task completion. The final ranking is divided into three levels, two levels, one level, and special level. Special Guest Scholars receive resources and salaries from my side, as well as four times the sect's promotion points."

"Triple rewards for first-tier, double for second-tier, and single for third-tier."

"In this way, their contributions will be several times higher than the sect's, and it is only natural that they will come. As for the resources distributed by this portion of the sect, I will provide them. Moreover, I will give double the amount to the sect. How the sect distributes these resources to them is not my concern; it is my leasing fee."

Yan Beihan spoke with confidence, while Fang Che was left speechless.
