It's a place where no one can see anyone else, and everywhere you look, Feng Yun is causing trouble. It's safer for him because he can't split himself up... So, he appears innocent."

"Moreover, he repeatedly commits robberies under the guise of legitimacy, acquiring more resources than he should. Why would he need to mention it? Keeping a low profile and amassing wealth is what he should be doing. Plus, your abilities are inferior to his. Even if you cause trouble, you won't achieve as much as he does by robbing! You'll only end up taking the blame..."

"That's right!" Dong Yun Yu sighed, "That little vixen, Yan Beihan, is no ordinary either. I fear nothing, but when we were about to leave, seeing the two of them made me feel apprehensive."

Hearing Dong Yun Yu refer to Yan Beihan as 'that little vixen,' Fang Che felt a vague sense of discomfort.

"That's understandable. From now on, no matter who among us encounters either of them or one of them alone, the best strategy is to prioritize survival and escape."

Feng Xiang Dong and Qiu Yun Shang both looked grave, "Is he really that formidable?"

"Yes."

"Is he stronger than the top geniuses of our Feng, Yu, and Xue families? I mean, in our families, the older generation is over ten years older than us, and they are already the backbone or being cultivated as the backbone of various departments. Can he surpass them?"

Feng Xiang Dong was slightly unconvinced.

"Feng Yun is already capable of standing on his own."

These words were not spoken by Fang Che but by Dong Yun Yu.

The statement left Feng Xiang Dong speechless.

Qiu Yun Shang asked, "How so?"

"The kind of demeanor, composure, and sense of control Feng Yun exudes."

Dong Yun Yu struggled to find the right words, "I can't quite describe it, but I've never felt anyone among the high-ranking and influential elders on our side who can match Feng Yun."

Fang Che explained, "In simple terms, that person... gives you the feeling that no matter where you place him, regardless of rank, type, or whether he has had prior contact or not, he can excel in any position!"

"And he's a deep thinker, with far-reaching considerations. He might not gain much, but he will never be at a disadvantage. That's Feng Yun."

Fang Che asked Dong Yun Yu, "Why did you keep framing Feng Yun after entering? Why not frame Yan Beihan?"

"Because I always felt he was dangerous."

Dong Yun Yu replied matter-of-factly.

Feng Xiang Dong said, "So, what Brother Fang means is... the incident with the Black Tiger Gang in Donghu Zhou was actually orchestrated by Feng Yun."

"No, not just in Donghu Zhou. Feng Yun is controlling all the sects of the Righteous Sect in the southeast, south, and southwest. It's just that the sudden incident with the Black Tiger Gang in Donghu Zhou drew his attention here!"

Fang Che said, "So now, Feng Yun's attention is focused on Donghu Zhou. The elimination of the Black Tiger Gang was based on our accurate intelligence, catching them off guard. But the Green Dragon Gang will be more challenging."

"We already have the list and addresses of the Green Dragon Gang, but if we act now, we might even capture the wrong people or kill the wrong targets. Do you believe that?"

Fang Che sighed, "The problem lies in the fact that the incident that night was too significant, with even Guardians involved in silencing witnesses... It erupted suddenly, exposing the massive underground issue, and there was no chance to continue."

"The situation at that time demanded immediate action, so we planned to eliminate the Black Tiger Gang and then directly target the Green Dragon Gang. We had even set up controls in some areas!"

"But the outbreak at the underground brothel of the Black Tiger Gang delayed us. During that time, the members of the Green Dragon Gang in other parts of Donghu Zhou had already escaped. So now, Feng Yun knows we are onto the Green Dragon Gang. Understand? Moreover, he will definitely make arrangements in response to our knowledge."

"This is the difficulty I was talking about."

"In other words, we're now indirectly dealing with Feng Yun. If we take down the Green Dragon Gang, we win a round. But the problem is, does Feng Yun even consider us a worthy opponent?"

Fang Che let out a bitter laugh.

"The Southeast Headquarters has already sent out war reports, pacified the people, and distributed merits. This time, our merits can be upgraded."

Qiu Yun Shang said, "I hope this war report and pacification will make the Teach of Solitary Zen believe that after we take down the Black Tiger Gang, we won't take any other actions for a while."

"How is that possible!"

Fang Che shook his head.

Regarding this matter, Fang Che had secretly inquired with the Divine Palace, and the Divine Palace had asked Yan Nan.

"The Deputy Chief's intention is to see if you can take down the Green Dragon Gang from Feng Yun's hands this time!"

"Other than that, this side won't provide you with any further assistance."

In other words, the support from the Teach of Solitary Zen was gone.

Fang Che himself understood that he had taken advantage of the situation; he had already obtained the intelligence on the Green Dragon Gang.

But Feng Yun didn't know that this was actually a test.

Or a battle of wits.

Even if the outcome was clear in the end, Feng Yun might not realize that this was actually a contest between himself and the Night Demon!

However, this didn't mean that Feng Yun could take it lightly, nor did it guarantee Fang Che's victory.

But Fang Che could use his own methods to bring this matter to the surface and let Dong Yun Yu and the others know as well.

Just as he was doing today: guiding everyone to treat Feng Yun as an opponent.

"Our Patrol Hall is also short-staffed, boss."

Feng Xiang Dong said, "There are only eight of us. Once we leave, the place will be empty. The other squads have people on duty, on standby, and for internal affairs. We have nothing here, and that's not good either."

Fang Che smiled bitterly, "I asked about this problem early on. They said they're in the process of selecting and assigning people."

Dong Yun Yu spoke in a carefree manner, "Your wife has nothing to do at home anyway. Why don't she come work here with us? That way, we can all be at ease. The house isn't ready yet, and it's not good for her to stay alone in an inn every day, right?"

He spoke without a thought, but the listeners had their own interpretations.

Fang Che's eyes lit up, "Hey, that's a great idea!"

Feng Xiang Dong and Qiu Yun Shang both felt that Dong Yun Yu had actually done something thoughtful and spoken like a normal person today.

It had to be said that this suggestion was truly brilliant.

The one staying behind at the Patrol Hall was the steward of their own squad. But what kind of steward could make everyone feel completely at ease?

And Fang Che felt that Ye Meng's role was a bit too narrow.

Staying alone every day, doing nothing, wouldn't that be too lonely? Having her come to work directly... This idea was feasible. After all, nothing would be delayed.

Ye Meng's abilities were more than sufficient to serve as a steward.

Coming to work together every morning and returning home as a couple in the afternoon, if there was no work... Ah, this life, just thinking about it was exhilarating.

"I'll go back and ask your sister-in-law. I estimate she'll be willing," Fang Che said.

Dong Yun Yu said, "Logically, she should be called a younger sister-in-law."

Fang Che furrowed his brows and looked at Dong Yun Yu, "Call me big brother!"

"Big brother!"

Dong Yun Yu's face twisted.

"What should I call your wife?"

"Sister-in-law."

"Then why younger sister-in-law?" Fang Che said angrily, "You're treating me to dinner tonight!"

"Damn it..."

Dong Yun Yu said angrily, "You're treating me to dinner? Besides, isn't this month Feng Xiang Dong's turn?"

Feng Xiang Dong protested, "Our grand meal isn't one meal a day?"

"Can you get full by eating just one meal a day?"

"Damn it... This is a bit unreasonable."

"Alright, alright, it's just a small matter. Either of you can treat, I don't mind."

Fang Che stood up, "Let's go, go back to headquarters and do some more research. Then, I'll go back and ask your sister-in-law to join us for dinner."

"Okay."

"When did you get this smart, Fang boss? After we paid, you didn't spend a penny on your own yard, your own house, or your own courtyard. After everything was done, you even made a profit, and you didn't spend on meals either."

Feng Xiang Dong sighed, "Instead, you're making the brothers happy... This is too much, right?"

Fang Che said, "I can refund your money. From now on, live on your own, don't hang out with us. Seeing you annoys me."

"No, no, boss, I was wrong."

Feng Xiang Dong quickly apologized with a flattering smile.

"Just saying sorry is enough?"

Fang Che said, "Fine, a fine. One hundred taels of silver."

"Damn!"

Feng Xiang Dong was furious, "A fine? Why a fine?"

"Pay it or not!"

Dong Yun Yu and Qiu Yun Shang, who had been fined several times in the past few days, rubbed their hands together and smiled viciously.

"I'll pay!"

Feng Xiang Dong readily paid the one hundred taels.

But they saw Fang Che walking towards a small child with a dirty face, and saying a few words.

The child's eyes widened, looking at Fang Che suspiciously, "Really?"

"Really!"

The little guy cheered and ran off. Before long, beggars from the entire street started gathering, swarming in from all directions.

Fang Che had rented two pancake shops, "Come, come, come, one pancake each, this one hundred taels, once it's spent, I'm leaving..."

Watching Fang Che happily distributing pancakes, the three of them exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile.

They approached one after another.

"I'll also give out one hundred taels."

Qiu Yun Shang said.

"Hey..." Feng Xiang Dong and Dong Yun Yu were about to speak, but Fang Che stopped them, "Don't move, if you really want to give, you'll be giving for a lifetime... Moreover, these two pancake shops can only make so many pancakes a day... One hundred taels is enough..."

"Kindness should be given, but not wasted!"

After giving out the one hundred taels, the little beggars ate heartily, their faces filled with gratitude as they looked at Fang Che.

Fang Che smiled and waved, "Thank you."

"Why not just give them a good, sustainable environment?" Feng Xiangdong asked.

"As long as the world isn't completely peaceful, these little beggars will never disappear. We can manage one street, two streets, but can we manage the entire world?"

Fang Che walked slowly with his hands behind his back and said, "Therefore, kindness should not be abused."

"Furthermore, if we keep doing this, even if we can afford it, it will eventually make them lose their sense of gratitude. One day, if you stop, they might even hate you."

"They are used to this environment. Occasionally getting some benefits will make them grateful for years, and it will increase their hope for a better life in this world. We can't completely change their lives, but we can't destroy their hope and gratitude."

Qiu Yunshang suddenly understood and said, "So, every time you do something like this, you choose different places?"

"Yes. These homeless children, with these few pancakes, won't eat them all at once. They can survive for many days with these pancakes..."

Fang Che said, "Therefore, they will cherish every act of kindness. When they grow up, they will also help others out of their own volition."

"Managing and helping them is not that we don't want to, but that we can't. How much can an individual's strength do? Even if all the super families' strength is combined and evenly distributed, can we eliminate poverty from this world?"

"It's impossible."

"Building a large courtyard and raising all the ones we see now is possible. But letting them stand up on their own in this environment is much better than raising a bunch of parasites."

Feng Xiangdong sighed, "Donghu Continent is just too big. We can't do this every day, and by the time we finish a round, some might have already starved, died of illness, or even been beaten to death..."

Fang Che also sighed, "Xiangdong, you need to look beyond Donghu Continent and see this problem from a broader perspective. What we are doing is already rare."

"In this world, countless tragedies happen every moment, and we can't manage every specific event."

"If they die, I won't feel guilty, and if they live, I won't feel joy. This is enough."

They were walking.

Suddenly, a little boy rusheded from behind: "Big brother..."

The four of them turned around.

It was a dirty little boy, about ten years old.

His clothes were tattered, and his face had wounds.

He looked at the four of them timidly, his whole body trembling, but he didn't retreat, standing bravely in front of them.

"What's the matter?" Fang Che showed a warm smile.

He squatted down and said, "Don't be nervous, take your time and speak."

The little beggar was breathing heavily, too nervous to speak, holding tightly the few pancakes in his hand, he was breathing and nervously said, "Big brother, can I ask you for something?"

Fang Che asked gently, "What? Speak.slow."

What."

What is it? Speak slowly."

The little beggar finally caught his breath, suddenly knelt down, and kowtowed: "Please, take my little sister away..."

The four of them were stunned.

Little sister?

But then they saw a few more little beggars following behind, all kneeling down: "Please, take my little sister away..."

"What's going on? Who's this little sister?"

The four of them were even more puzzled.

The little beggar wiped away his tears and said, "My little sister is pretty, and many bad people have been after her, but we can't protect her, we can only run around, we..."

Fang Che frowned, his heart moved, "Hmm? Bad people after her?"

They saw a little beggar leading a frail little girl walking slowly from the street corner. It was clear that in this very short time, they had tried hard to clean the little girl's face, even combing her hair with their fingers while walking.

But she was still very messy.

Yet, they kept trying.

The little girl was timid, her whole body trembling. She was as thin and frail as a small reed.

She was only six or seven years old, but her features were already very delicate.

Indeed, she was a little beauty.

But her face was pale, her eyes darting around in fear.

Like a frightened little rabbit.

"This is my sister..." the little beggar sobbed, "My parents are dead, leaving me and my sister, but bad people want to take her away... They chased us especially hard recently... These days, the great heroes have been catching the bad guys, so they haven't come..."

Fang Che, Dong Yunyu, and Feng Xiangdong, Qiu Yunshang all had their faces darken.

"Where are those bad guys?" Fang Che asked.

"I don't know." The little beggar sobbed, "But if my little sister stays with us, it's too dangerous. We can't protect her. A few years ago, when she was smaller, we used to smear her face with dirt and bring her out to beg, but one time she cried... Her tears washed away the dirt on her face... They discovered her..."

The other little beggars were all sobbing.

The little girl was also sobbing.

Fang Che sighed.

"Here isn't the place to talk. Come with me."

He looked at the other little beggars, "Are these all your brothers?"

"Yes... We met them while begging... They are our companions."

There were eight little boys and one little girl.

All were dirty, their bodies emitting an unpleasant odor.

Fang Che bent down, wanting to hold the little girl's hand, but she was so frightened that she kept shrinking back, her eyes wide with fear, her little hand desperately hiding behind her back.

But the little boy's eyes lit up, pulling his sister's hand and trying to push it into Fang Che's hand.

Because he knew, if this kind-hearted big brother held his sister's hand, there would be hope! Hope for her to have a good life.

Fang Che smiled gently, pulling his hand back, "Let's go over there and have a bowl of congee."

There was a congee shop nearby.

Seeing that the kind big brother's hand ultimately didn't touch the little girl's hand due to her retreating, the little boy's eyes welled up with tears.

He quickly wiped his tears, his voice thick with a runny nose, "Okay, big brother."

He was trying hard to show his obedience and good behavior, hoping to leave a good impression on the big brother to take his sister away.

Fang Che and the others walked ahead.

Several little beggars followed behind, timid and shrinking.

A little beggar boy, suppressing his voice, spoke to the little girl in a low tone: "What are you hiding from? What are you hiding from? How many times do we get a chance to meet such a good person? It's not easy to have hope for you to have a better life, why are you hiding... ah, ah, ah..."

The boy's voice carried a nasal tone, as if he were about to cry in urgency.

His voice was low, and he spoke with a certain regional accent, but to cultivators like Fang Che and the others, this voice, though low, was heard clearly.

The little girl cried softly: "Brother, I'm scared..."

"Don't be afraid... Didn't you see that Dog Egg and Er Niu were beaten to death and left there? If we keep begging like this, sooner or later, we'll end up like that. You have to be good, sis, you must be good..."

He cried softly: "If this doesn't work, and the bad guys come again, brother really can't protect you... Brother can't protect you, ah, ah, ah..."

He desperately tried to convince his sister, fearing she wouldn't understand, almost as if he were about to pull out his own heart and show it to his sister in his anxiety.

But the little girl tightly grasped her brother's hand, her small hands exerting all their strength.

They arrived at the porridge shop.

Fang Che ordered a large table and let the little beggars sit down. Each of the little fellows was very restrained, carefully wiping their pants, afraid of dirtying the shop's chairs.

After wiping, each little bottom carefully sat on the edge of the chairs.

Fang Che ordered nine bowls of porridge.

He also ordered nine tea eggs.

Then, he asked softly.

It was then that he learned that the little beggar from the beginning was the older brother of the little girl. Their parents had fled to Donghuzhou two years ago and suddenly died.

Since then, the siblings had been living on the streets, begging for a living.

The other seven little beggars had similar experiences, and because they were around the same age, they naturally banded together for mutual support.

Originally, there were over ten of them, but some died, some left, and some new ones joined... Currently, only nine remained.

They were all skinny and dark. The little girl's brother was obviously the leader among them and had some prestige among the beggars.

Otherwise, without the concerted efforts of his companions, he couldn't have protected his sister.

"There's a group of people who often capture children on the street," Fang Che asked with concern.

"Not exactly often... But in the past two years, I've encountered this many times... Some of those who were originally with us have been taken away..."

"My sister is small and can't run fast, so when we go out to beg, we don't let her go."

"Where do you live?"

"Sometimes it's a tree hole, sometimes a dilapidated temple, sometimes those empty houses without people, we crawl in to stay for a few nights, and sometimes under bridges. Once, three of us were under a bridge, and a heavy rain washed them away..."

"I see."

At this moment, the porridge arrived. The shop owner was initially reluctant to let so many little beggars in, as they were dirty and might affect business if seen by customers.

But Dong Yunyu gave him a fierce glare.

The shopkeeper couple didn't dare say anything.

They became honest and even put on a smile.

Patiently coaxing the little fellows to drink porridge and eat eggs.

Each of them ate with happiness on their faces.

The little girl also carefully drank the porridge, her thin arms struggling to hold the bowl, her eyes filled with enjoyment.

Finally, she drank with reluctance, even licking the bowl all around, her little belly already full, but seeing the bowl taken away, she still felt a lingering reluctance.

It was so delicious, and it was hot!

Even now, they could still taste the lingering flavor.

The porridge and eggs were finished.

Ren Chun, the little girl's brother, breathed tensely, his small hand holding his sister's, knowing that the moment of fate was about to arrive.
