Chapter 477: Master, Something Terrible Has Happened! 【10,000 Words!】 (Part 2)
What a talent.
You've even come up with leasing fees.
"In this way, I have achieved a separation from the sect. Although I still rely on the sect's resources in the end, this is an inevitable path for the headquarters' disciples, not just for me alone."
"Additionally, after my team is formed, I will gradually remove the sect's influence."
Yan Beihan remained extremely calm and said, "Since I am going to take action, my power must belong solely to myself."
"Yan Beihan, you are truly wise!"
Fang Che thought for a moment and felt there was nothing more to add. He said, "The specific operations will likely be dangerous and filled with countless troubles. At that time, Yan Beihan, you must take care of yourself."
Yan Beihan's heart warmed, and she said, "Hmph, you don't need to worry about that."
She continued, "I'm currently making plans, starting everything from scratch, and it does feel tedious. It's not like you, who has been doing the same thing all along, which is much simpler."
"Simple... Yan Beihan, you said that, and I can't help but smile bitterly."
Fang Che said, "However, it's true that you are more capable than me, Yan Beihan."
Yan Beihan said, "Nightmare, I have reserved the third position for you, below me and Bi Yunyan. As soon as you free yourself from your subordinate sect, you can take up the position immediately."
"I wouldn't dare to aim for a position above Yan Beihan and Miss Bi."
"Stop wasting time, will you do it or not?"
"Thank you, Yan Beihan, for your recognition. I hope I will still be alive when that moment comes."
"Nightmare, you can do it."
Yan Beihan was just showing Fang Che her swift and decisive nature.
"You focus on your tasks, and take good care of the Divine Metal. If there's anything, you can find me at any time."
"Farewell, Yan Beihan. I will remember your teachings and won't dare to forget."
Yan Beihan ended the communication.
She was extremely busy now.
She directly acquired a large courtyard and a building as her headquarters.
Currently, there were only two people in the headquarters.
The two highest leaders, Yan Beihan and Bi Yunyan.
Well, for now, they were the only two commanders.
"Who are you talking to?" Bi Yunyan peeked in curiously.
"Yes, one of my subordinates," Yan Beihan replied.
Bi Yunyan chuckled, "A man, right?"
Yan Beihan furrowed her brows, "I'm telling you, Yunyan... Your thoughts lately, they're not right. Are you experiencing spring fever? That's not acceptable!"
"Pfft, pfft, pfft..."
Bi Yunyan said, "You're the one with spring fever, what are you talking about? How could I possibly be interested in a smelly man?"
Yan Beihan gave a cold laugh and rolled her eyes.
Bi Yunyan leaned in and said, "Did you meet that Fang Che when you went to White Cloud Continent this time?"
Yan Beihan immediately became alert and turned to look at her sternly, "Yunyan, I'm seriously warning you, it's fine with others, but not with Fang Che!"
Bi Yunyan stuck out her tongue, "Isn't he just a Guardian?"
"You even know he's a Guardian!"
Yan Beihan's voice turned severe, "This will ruin your life! Yunyan, you must be cautious! Don't lose your head over this!"
Bi Yunyan said, "I didn't mean anything, I was just thinking about that face... Tch, it's really attractive and has a certain charm."
Yan Beihan angrily said, "What kind of charm? A smelly charm?"
"A manly charm... That sense of responsibility, that aura, that sternness, that... Tch, anyway, the Only Righteous Sect lacks people like this."
Yan Beihan gave a cold laugh, "You little brat, you've gone crazy!"
"It's impossible anyway, I was just wondering, what's the problem?"
Bi Yunyan said.
"I'm afraid you'll get too caught up in your thoughts."
Yan Beihan earnestly advised, "You can think about anything else, but not about a Guardian's handsome face... It's really..."
"He is indeed handsome."
Bi Yunyan indulged in her thoughts.
Yan Beihan grabbed Bi Yunyan's shoulders and said solemnly, "Yunyan, you can't control yourself with this!"
Bi Yunyan clicked her tongue and smiled, "Can you control yourself?"
Yan Beihan angrily asked, "Why would I want to control him?"
She turned around and said furiously, "I called you here to do serious work, great work, but you're thinking about men here! Hurry up and get to work!"
Thus, the two of them began their true conspiracy.
After all, they had just obtained an absolute foundation of their own, no longer relying on their 'parents' home, their brother's home, or their ancestral home from who knows how many generations.'
Both women were excited.
As they talked, the topic drifted, and as they continued, it drifted again.
Fortunately, Yan Beihan had prepared in advance and had countless ideas ready.
The two women discussed for more than a day before they could roughly plan everything.
Then, it was time to select the right people.
Their eyes were so tired they couldn't keep them open. If it were martial arts training or combat, they could endure for a longer time, but discussing such matters and using their brains was truly exhausting. The mental fatigue was several times more intense than physical training.
They had to consider each person's background, power, as well as their father's and ancestors' power, sect, and their mother's clan, along with their abilities, positions... Every aspect had to be taken into account.
Not only Bi Yunyan, but even Yan Beihan was encountering and managing such complex matters for the first time.
After a long time, the two women were so tired they kept rolling their eyes.
"It's indeed not easy."
Yan Beihan sighed softly and said, "No wonder Feng Yun treats those subordinate sect leaders so seriously. Being able to maintain a sect, even without the ability to expand, just maintaining it, is already a talent. Just look at how they consider every aspect of personnel management, it's not something an ordinary person can do.
"The matters we are considering now are far beyond the scope of a single sect."
Yan Beihan sighed.
Bi Yunyan refuted, "But we are starting from scratch, and it's definitely more challenging than what they face. We'll just have to see how far we can go in the future."
"That's true. In the future, the two of us will be burdened."
Yan Beihan spoke.
Bi Yunyan's eyes lit up, and she said, "I have a request."
"What is it?"
"When we have a chance to go to White Cloud Continent, I want to visit Fang Che and draw a portrait of him..."
"Absolutely not!"
Yan Beihan clenched her teeth and said, "Forget about it!"
"What's the matter?"
"Let me tell you, you will never see him again in this lifetime!"
Yan Beihan spoke with a heavy heart, her resolve unwavering, "I will never let you meet him, Yunyan. We are sworn sisters, and I can't possibly harm you!"
"..."
Bi Yunyan sighed deeply.
She couldn't quite understand her own thoughts: What am I trying to do? I haven't thought this through yet. Could I possibly have genuine feelings for Fang Che? Is Yan Beihan out of her mind?
I just admire handsome men, that's all. And it's only admiration, right?
How could Yan Beihan think that I have a private relationship with Fang Che? Am I that foolish? She doesn't trust me, yet she wants me to be her deputy! It's utterly baffling.
...
Fang Che and Ye Meng had returned to the Scholar's Residence in White Cloud Continent.
Before they even reached the door, they saw the Sect Master Song Yidao standing right there.
He had apparently been waiting for a while.
"Sect Master, why have you come in person?"
Fang Che was surprised.
Song Yidao's expression was grave.
And there was a hint of solemnity in his demeanor.
Then, looking at Ye Meng, he said, "Younger sister, you go in first. I need to speak with Fang Che."
"Of course, Sect Master. I'll prepare tea for you inside, and we can drink it together shortly."
Ye Meng entered the house.
Song Yidao took Fang Che aside and walked a few steps away.
Fang Che couldn't help but laugh, "Sect Master, why are you being so cautious?"
"Fang Che, the review of your case has concluded," Song Yidao said.
"Huh? What does that mean?"
"The review has determined that Fang Che's identity is still in doubt, but there is insufficient evidence. Moreover, Fang Che has made significant contributions, especially in the recent battles in the Yin-Yang Realm. His merits are undeniable, so the review has been temporarily suspended."
Song Yidao explained.
Fang Che's expression turned speechless, "Does that mean that whenever they want to review again, they can just bring up old accounts and start the review?"
"That's not the case... Cough, cough."
Song Yidao coughed twice.
He didn't know if this review would be brought up again in the future.
Changing the topic, he said, "Additionally, there's news regarding your new appointment."
"What position?"
Fang Che asked.
"It's not yet finalized. However, there will definitely be a new appointment. According to the internal notice, Fang Che's new appointment is temporarily suspended due to the uncertainty of his identity. Although the review has been halted, the new appointment involves significant matters, so it requires another round of the Heart Questioning Path to prove his innocence. If the Heart Questioning Path raises no concerns, the appointment will be read out immediately, and he will assume the position."
Song Yidao spoke calmly, his voice gentle.
Fang Che's expression remained unchanged as he said, "What if the Heart Questioning Path finds an issue?"
A bitter smile appeared on Song Yidao's face.
You're so smart, and you still ask this question? If the Heart Questioning Path truly discovers a problem, you might not even survive.
"There's more." Fang Che asked.
"Yes. Considering Fang Che's cultivation progress, this time the Heart Questioning Path will be upgraded. The Headquarters' Law Enforcement Minister Yan Wuzui will personally oversee it, and he will personally conduct the Heart Questioning Path!"
Fang Che furrowed his brows.
"Yan Wuzui is one of the Nine Lord's disciples! He is the only surviving disciple among all of the Nine Lord's disciples! He is strict, upright, and impartial in enforcing the law, and he is swift and forceful!"
Song Yidao's face showed an indescribable expression.
He felt a mix of sorrow, helplessness, and resignation.
He seemed to sense that Fang Che's chances of surviving this Heart Questioning Path were slim.
The Heart Questioning Path was cruel.
Even if one wasn't a spy, there was a high possibility of damage to the divine soul.
"This matter, only I know about it here in the Guard Hall."
Song Yidao looked at Fang Che with a serious expression and said, "Fang Che!"
Fang Che's expression turned serious as he said, "Sect Master, just say what you have to say."
"I've fought for you, and I've submitted protests, even writing to the people at Headquarters. But it can't be avoided. It's said that this Heart Questioning Path was personally arranged by the Nine Lord."
Song Yidao spoke with a hint of sadness, pausing for a moment before continuing, "If you're still here in the Guard Hall, then you must pass this hurdle."
Fang Che remained silent.
He just looked on quietly, waiting.
Song Yidao said, "Perhaps after you pass this hurdle, you'll be promoted, and your future will be bright."
"But perhaps... your martial path will come to an end."
Song Yidao spoke with great difficulty.
But he still said it.
Finally, he clenched his teeth and said, "Yan Wuzui will show no mercy. Since it's an upgrade, it will be conducted according to your current highest tolerance."
"You're in grave danger!"
Song Yidao advised, "I suggest you refuse the Heart Questioning Path but also leave the Guard Hall to ensure your safety."
Fang Che laughed.
He said, "Sect Master Song, have you ever suspected me of being a spy for the Demon Sect?"
"You, Fang Che, are not a spy! Absolutely not!"
Song Yidao lightly sighed and said, "I, Song Yidao, am not blind in the eyes or the heart. If you, Fang Che, were a spy, then my eyes should be gouged out!"
"Since I'm not a spy, why can't I take this Heart Questioning Path!"
Fang Che smiled and said, "I have no private thoughts, and this Heart Questioning Path, even if I walk it, will find nothing. Sect Master Song, don't worry, I won't have any problems."
"Oh, you... think it over."
"This Heart Questioning Path, I've already walked it once."
Fang Che smiled faintly.
Song Yidao sighed for a long time.
Finally, he bid farewell and left.
He didn't go in to brew the tea that Ye Meng mentioned.
Before leaving, he left behind one sentence.
"You have three days. If you're willing to give up, you can tell me at any time during these three days. I, Song Yidao, will do my best to ensure your safe departure."
Song Yidao left.
Watching his departing figure, Fang Che let out a soft sigh.
Then, his eyes flashed with light.
Give up?
How could he possibly give up!
He had been waiting for this day for a long time!
It seemed that Nine Lord had already finished editing his Junlin Autobiography.
It had to be said that Fang Che was indeed looking forward to it.
Reading Junlin's Autobiography, although there were many things to nitpick, one had to admit that Junlin's life was truly epic.
There were too many noteworthy events to write about.
Moreover, they all followed the protagonist template.
Born as a prince, his country was destroyed and his family perished; personal and national grudges, this was the first major highlight.
Drifting in the jianghu, constantly encountering adventures and improving, a key element of a satisfying story.
Beautiful women everywhere, deep affections, and unparalleled beauties...
There were also various intense battles, slaughter, conspiracies, all the way to the final battle with the Divine Avatar...
No wonder Junlin himself wrote eighteen million words.
In other words, even if Dongfang Sansan simplified it, there would still be several million words, and he would never let such excellent material be reduced to a mere autobiography of a few thousand words.
Although Junlin was narcissistic, when writing his autobiography, he could only boast about his own handsome and carefree demeanor.
As for being a continental hero, the number one guardian of the continent, and so on, Junlin himself wouldn't dare write about it.
In this aspect, it was naturally lacking.
But Dongfang Sansan was different; he would definitely add this heroic element.
And he would add it generously.
With Dongfang Sansan's writing style, combined with Junlin's framework, and all the events being true occurrences,
Fang Che couldn't help but want to read it in advance.
Fang Che pondered, this time, what would Nine Lord talk to him about when he arrived?
After thinking for a while, he felt his heart stirring with excitement.
No matter what they discussed, he had a bellyful of grievances he wanted to pour out.
Others might not be able to bear them, but pouring them out to Dongfang Sansan was absolutely appropriate.
This time, let Nine Lord be burdened with being his emotional dumping ground.
So Fang Che began to recall his grievances, his helplessness, his powerlessness, and his frustration...
The more he thought about it, the more he felt there was a lot to say.
The more he thought about it, the more he looked forward to it.
Nine Lord, please come quickly, I have countless words to share with you.
Of course, at the moment, this wasn't the most important thing.
The main thing was...
One of Nine Lord's purposes in arranging the Heart Questioning Path was to let the Only Righteous Sect know that he had been struck again.
I, Ye Mo, have been struck again on this side.
The Guardians were truly unreasonable... and this was all their fault.
So complaining to Dongfang Sansan wasn't important, but complaining to Imprint God Palace first was crucial.
Fang Che immediately went to the study.
He closed the door.
He communicated with the Five Spirit Toad, then immediately took out the communication jade.
He sent a message to Imprint God Palace.
"Master, something terrible has happened."
The first message.
Imprint God Palace was currently feeling refreshed. Damn, even the Heaven God Sect was gone.
The Night Demon Sect was also gone.
My Only Righteous Sect, however, was thriving, and there had been tremendous development in all aspects.
This was a lone standout, and it could definitely enter the eyes of the upper echelons.
Moreover, after this matter, Vice Chief Yan Nan would definitely view me with newfound respect.
It was truly refreshing.
Just now, he received a notification that Feng Yun summoned his subordinates for a meeting to arrange the next step's specific work. Imprint God Palace called upon Mulinyuan and Hou Fang, preparing to set off.
As for Qian Sanjiang, he went to select personnel.
Because they needed a thousand people to send to the Tianxia Escort Agency to take up positions as escort leaders and escorts.
After arriving, they would undergo strict training.
The last time Hou Fang selected people, he messed up badly, and he almost got a headache from Night Demon's complaints.
This time, Imprint God Palace didn't dare to entrust this task to Hou Fang.
But among those who truly trusted and knew the inside story, there were only these few people, so he naturally chose Qian Sanjiang.
This time, Qian Sanjiang made a promise: I definitely won't be like Hou Fang, making a mess of things! This time, I'll definitely choose wisely!
Hou Fang, upon returning, will be so impressed that he'll bow down to me!
Hou Fang expressed his disdain: With these killers, you actually think you can select gentlemen? It's not that I don't trust you, but when I come back to slap you, don't cry.
The people selected this time had higher cultivation levels than the previous batch. Two hundred were Wang-level experts, three hundred were Wu Hou-level, and the rest were high-grade Wu Shuai.
Imprint God Palace also learned of Night Demon's plan, which was to raise the status of the Tianxia Escort Agency.
For such an idea, Imprint God Palace naturally had to support it wholeheartedly.
So, the Only Righteous Sect headquarters was bustling with activity.
Apart from those selected, the others had no idea what was going on.
Confidentiality was the top priority. Imprint God Palace was especially meticulous and attentive in this regard, repeatedly emphasizing the importance, to the point that Qian Sanjiang's ears almost developed calluses from the constant reminders.
Imprint God Palace finally stopped his admonitions.
Just as he relaxed, took a few sips of water, Mulinyuan and Hou Fang arrived.
After a brief instruction, they prepared to depart.
However, just as they reached the gate, Imprint God Palace's expression changed.
The Five Spirit Toad alerted him, and Night Demon had sent a message.
He hurriedly took it out for a look.
The first thing that caught his eye was a familiar seven-word phrase: Master, something terrible has happened!
