Chapter 546: Observation and a Gift! [Two in One]

Yan Nan spoke calmly, "Old Sun, I don't mean to be harsh on you. If I did, I wouldn't have called you here for a private conversation. But breaking the rules is still breaking the rules. If I questioned you in front of everyone in the hall, it would be embarrassing for us old brothers."

He spoke earnestly, "Do you still care about face in front of me, Yan Nan? Just like I don't need to put on an act of authority when I'm alone with you."

Sun Wutian's gaunt face showed a hint of a smile as he said, "I understand."

Yan Nan knew it was enough, so he continued calmly, "Moreover, your greatest sin is something you haven't even acknowledged until now. Since you woke up, you haven't even called me 'Fifth Brother' once!"

Sun Wutian was taken aback and said, "My greatest sin? Fifth Brother, this... this... you're right, it's my fault. I apologize, Fifth Brother!"

As he spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply.

But this bow was different; his heart felt much lighter.

Instead of feeling offended, he felt comforted and happy.

A sense of 'still brothers after all these years' welled up inside him.

Yan Nan kicked out, cursing, "You're still shamelessly acting cute in front of me!"

Sun Wutian dodged with a quick movement, laughing, "Fifth Brother, you're still the same. You tease and torment me, hitting me without giving a sweet date, and I still feel convinced."

Yan Nan rolled his eyes and cursed, "If I don't torment you, you look like a stiff zombie, and it annoys me! I'm not going to let you off easy, or I won't feel better! Listen, Sun Wutian, you're the only one I'd do this for. Try someone else, and see if I'd play mind games with them. Do I have the time for that?"

Hearing Yan Nan's coarse language towards him, Sun Wutian felt even more at ease, apologizing in a low voice, "Fifth Brother, please calm down. It's my fault for being immature..."

"Look at what you've done to your body!"

Yan Nan shook his finger, "Look at yourself! Is this even a person?! Look at that lifeless face! Sun Wutian, who are you trying to fool?"

Sun Wutian's face lit up, "Fifth Brother, I'm just not used to being awake after thousands of years..."

"Not used to it, huh?"

Yan Nan swiftly grabbed a thick, long stick and said, "I'll make you get used to it! Stand still!"

"Fifth Brother, spare me!"

Sun Wutian immediately begged for mercy, "It's all my fault, a thousand times over. Fifth Brother, don't get so angry that you hurt yourself, and don't overwork yourself..."

He flattered Yan Nan, gently pressing down the stick, and pushed it back with a smile, "Fifth Brother, I want to contribute to the sect. Please give me instructions..."

Yan Nan stared at him for a while before laughing and cursing, "You're still as shameless as ever!"

Sun Wutian's face fell, "I can't help but show my true colors in front of you, Fifth Brother. I was going to put on an act, but..."

"Even you dare to put on an act in front of me?"

Yan Nan gave him a sidelong glance and hummed twice before saying, "Let's get to the point. No one else knows that you secretly passed on the inheritance."

"So, you know what you did, and it's fine to say that you just did it recently. But this loophole must be closed! Otherwise, you know what will happen!"

Sun Wutian nodded repeatedly, "Fifth Brother, I still don't quite understand... How did this suddenly..."

"Well, there's something you don't know. This is actually a great thing for you."

Yan Nan put his arm around Sun Wutian's shoulder and sat down with him at the tea table, smiling, "So, you must close this loophole. Your successor is indeed talented. I see a bright future for him, and I'm genuinely happy for you."

Sun Wutian nodded.

The time for jokes was over, and Sun Wutian, who had been like a fierce tiger, was now a well-behaved and obedient kitten after Yan Nan's scolding.

After this incident, Sun Wutian's loyalty to Yan Nan was absolute.

Yan Nan then began to speak seriously, "This person's name is Fang Che, and he is currently a Protector in the Guardian ranks, serving as a Patrol in the Southeast Headquarters' Inspection Department."

As soon as Yan Nan mentioned this, Sun Wutian raised his head in surprise.

But Yan Nan patted his shoulder, stopping him from asking questions, and continued, "He is the leader of an Inspection Team, one of eight members. Each of them holds the Life and Death Order, representing the highest authority to kill within the Guardians."

Sun Wutian was speechless.

Yan Nan pressed down on Sun Wutian's shoulder, "He's nineteen years old and has a Royal-level cultivation, but he can kill those at the Lord level. According to my assessment, his current combat power can easily kill those at the low Venerable level."

Sun Wutian was forbidden from speaking and could only breathe heavily.

"Once the number one under the heavens..."

Yan Nan gave a detailed introduction of Fang Che.

With a smile, he asked, "Well?"

Sun Wutian stared, "Fifth Brother... Are you playing with me?"

Even if this is good, it's still the Protector's person, learning my saber technique... What the hell... A joyous occasion? And you're congratulating me?"

He was a little overwhelmed.

He had really thought it was good news, but now it sounded like pure mockery.

Yan Nan, with a confident smile, said, "Why are you in such a hurry... This is just the public identity."

"Huh... What's the secret identity then?" Sun Wutian exclaimed, his eyes wide.

"The secret identity is a disciple of Yin Shen Gong, the master of Yixin Sect, a subordinate sect of the Southeast Headquarters of the Unique Righteous Sect. His nickname is Night Demon. He's the champion of our Unique Righteous Sect's plan to nurture a God through raising Gu. The number one!"

Yan Nan, seeing Sun Wutian's shocked expression, felt pleased and smiled, saying, "I'm the one who infiltrated the Protector's inner circle... I'm the mole!"

"Holy shit!"

Sun Wutian stared, feeling like the hair on his arms was standing on end, "Fifth Brother, your mole has actually risen to this level? He has the power of life and death? This is fucking... unbelievable! Is this for real?"

Yan Nan smiled with restraint, "Otherwise, why would I tell you that this is your joyous occasion?"

"Damn impressive!"

Sun Wutian racked his brains to flatter him, and after half a day, he came up with these three words.

Yan Nan smiled faintly, "If you didn't believe me, why would I tell you that this is your joyous occasion?"

"That's badass!"

Sun Wutian searched his mind, wanting to flatter him, and after much thought, he blurted out these three words.

Yan Nan smiled lightly, "If you didn't believe me, why would I tell you that this is your joyous occasion?"

"I understand!"

"Get lost!"

"Okay!"

Sun Wutian grinned, "Fifth Brother, I'll come back to drink with you."

"Get out of here! Stop causing me trouble, that's your biggest contribution!"

"Okay!"

Sun Wutian left.

Yan Nan rubbed his forehead.

"This is the way to control people. Keep them at a distance and they'll resent you, get too close and they'll lose respect."

"How to grasp this balance is truly the greatest question of all time," Yan Nan sighed.

...

After Fang Che sent out the message, he didn't wait for a response.

Even the Unique Righteous Sect needed time to react, so he went out directly and started discussing with Yu Zhongge and others where to start.

Yu Zhongge and the others were also eager to make a name for themselves. After all, in terms of reputation, the four who went out had completely surpassed the four who stayed in Donghu Zhou.

The four of them were a little anxious.

They were so eager that they even forgot to eat and sleep.

They spent day and night flipping through files, searching for evil-doers.

Even Mo Gan Yun, the big guy, was flipping through files with wide eyes, his carrot-like fingers flipping through the books in a rather chilling manner.

But Mo Gan Yun remained focused, his eyes serious.

They had gone through the wanted list countless times.

So, in Donghu Zhou, the order of life and death still hung high, and everyone in the martial world was on edge.

Dong Yunyu and the others were in the Patrol Hall, teaching the little ones.

When Fang Che returned, Mo Gan Yun and the others had already left in a hurry; Dong Yunyu, Feng Xiangdong, and Qiu Yunshang were watching Ren Chun practice.

After sending out the message, Dong Yunyu and the others also disappeared.

Fang Che asked Ye Meng, who shrugged, "They took Ren Chun and the others out for some real-world experience."

"Real-world experience?"

Fang Che's eyes widened.

Ren Chun and the others had just started their foundation training, what kind of real-world experience could they have? But after thinking about it, he understood.

Hmm... they must have taken Ren Chun and the others out to fight for territory with the street urchins.

Dong Yunyu was an expert at this. Every time he took them out to fight with the street urchins, whether they won or lost, the opposing street urchins would get to eat lots of baked buns... at least for a month, they wouldn't go hungry.

Dong Yunyu had turned the street urchin's martial world upside down.

Fang Che, on the other hand, became the only idle person and went to chat in Ye Meng's office.

An amusing tale to cheer up the girl...

Night Dream shared some news, "They're sending a deputy to assist me, a familiar face. Any guesses who it might be?"

"I can't guess," Fang Che shook his head decisively.

Night Dream hummed, "Most likely, it's Zhao Ying'er."

"How do you know? Do you have inside information?"

Fang Che was puzzled, genuinely having racked his brains without success. Yet, Night Dream, who seemed equally clueless, had confidently named Zhao Ying'er.

"No inside information," Night Dream pouted. "It's just a hunch. I couldn't think of anyone else but her."

"I don't understand," Fang Che scratched his head. "What does this mean?"

"Currently, Zhao Ying'er is the only one I sense as a threat."

Night Dream hummed, "Besides, who else could be assigned as my deputy and be a familiar face? Xiu Yun won't come, and neither can anyone else. After Zhao Ying'er's severe injury, she's been out of sight without any assigned duties."

Fang Che shook his head repeatedly, "Your premonition is wrong. It's already a miracle that Zhao Ying'er survived her injuries. How could she recover so quickly?"

Night Dream let out a hum, "Then wait and see. I'm confident I'm not mistaken."

Fang Che chuckled, "How about a bet?"

"What's the bet?" Night Dream's face turned red.

"If I win, I get the three positions we discussed..." Fang Che raised his eyebrows with a mischievous smile.

"And if you lose?" Night Dream rolled her eyes, her face growing redder.

"If I lose, I'll unlock three positions for you!" Fang Che declared fearlessly.

"Shameless! Hooligan!"

Night Dream, both embarrassed and angry, was about to kick him out.

"Wait..." Fang Che said, "There's something else... Why is Zhao Ying'er the only one you feel threatened by? What about the others?"

"That Lan Xin Xue... I don't sense any threat from her, even though she's provoking me." Night Dream rolled her eyes, her pride evident. "But honestly, I only feel annoyed, not threatened."

Fang Che sighed, "What about the others?"

"As of now, I haven't sensed any threat from them, but Zhao Ying'er is indeed a significant one."

"So, you somewhat like Zhao Ying'er, right?"

"Not exactly. I just find her a bit likable, which is why she's a threat."

Night Dream frowned.

Fang Che laughed, rubbing Night Dream's head, "You girls always have your heads in the clouds, dreaming of impossible things."

"That's not true..." Night Dream pouted in protest.

Fang Che glared, "You're the district's deputy, so focus on your work and stop daydreaming. If you continue, I'll add an extra hour of punishment tonight. Your guess is baseless, and I've won this bet! I'll collect my winnings tonight!"

Without waiting for Night Dream's rebuttal, he declared, "It's settled!"

And with that, he left.

Night Dream fumed in her room, "How can you claim victory? What gives you the right... You're just a pervert and a hooligan!"

...

As dusk approached, Mo Gan Yun and the others hadn't returned, but Fang Che remained unconcerned.

With no news, he assumed everything was safe. Pondering over dinner plans with Night Dream, he suddenly felt a stir in his heart, sensing something.

He turned towards the window, where a blurry shadow smiled at him.

It was Yehuang!

Fang Che's heart leaped with joy, "Big Brother?"

Yehuang chuckled, and Fang Che found himself enveloped in white mist, transported to Yehuang's domain.

"Why did you come, Big Brother?"

"I have my reasons." Yehuang smiled faintly, "How's your progress with the spear technique?"

Fang Che's face turned red, "I barely grasped the first form... Big Brother, you're too impatient. It's only been a few days, and you're already here to evaluate my progress?"

"I need to check on your progress." Yehuang laughed heartily, "But to show signs of mastering the first form in such a short time is a sign of exceptional talent. I was right to believe in you."

"There's something I've never understood. How did you realize I had the talent for the spear that day?"

Fang Che was genuinely perplexed.

That day, he had only treated Yehuang's injuries, without displaying any other abilities. Yet, Yehuang had determined that he could wield the spear.

Yehuang explained, "When I was with my master, he often pushed blood into my body to enhance my talent. Without access to heavenly treasures, this was his method to gradually improve my root bone.

"My master's spiritual energy was fierce and domineering, embodying righteousness. He once told me that he cultivated the Dragon God Spear's innate technique, which I couldn't learn."

"When you healed me, your spiritual energy entered my body, and I immediately recognized its similarity to my master's. Though not as fierce, it was even more balanced. That's when I knew you could cultivate the Dragon God Spear!"

Yehuang smiled, "And there's also... a veteran's intuition. Don't underestimate it."

"I understand."

Fang Che genuinely admired these old veterans of the martial world. Each one of them was truly formidable.

"Big Brother, where are you going today?"

"Today, I have a sparring match with Si Kong Ye." Night Emperor casually replied, "This ten-day period is for sparring. When people like us fight, it's an ongoing exchange of moves. For someone at your level, it's an invaluable learning experience. So, I'll have you as my apprentice for these ten days."

Fang Che was overjoyed, "This is something I've always wanted but never had the chance to do!"

"Hehe, change your appearance a bit." Night Emperor instructed.

Fang Che immediately used his highest-level illusion technique, transforming his face into an ordinary-looking but vibrant and energetic young man.

A master like Night Emperor could tell at a glance that this youth had excellent potential.

"Not bad!" Night Emperor laughed, "You have a bit of cunning."

Then he said, "It's getting late, let's go now. We can eat on the way."

"Okay... I'll just make a quick arrangement," Fang Che replied.

"Go ahead."

After Fang Che made the arrangements, he stepped out.

Night Emperor appeared in time, enveloping him in his domain, and they soared into the sky, invisible and formless.

Fang Lao Liu, who cherished his son, materialized under the tree.

"Where is this guy taking my son? I must go and see." Fang Lao Liu's body also turned into a gray shadow.

His cultivation had recovered to the Saint Rank, still far from Night Emperor's current level, but his unique cultivation method and powerful divine soul made him increasingly adept at hiding himself.

As of now, as long as he didn't want to be discovered, there were probably not many people under the heavens who could find him... Cough, not many at all.

Night Emperor and Fang Che didn't go directly to Nanshan.

Instead, they found a place to roast some meat and even shared a drink.

During their chat, they naturally talked about Si Kong Ye.

"This old guy has always been stingy and tightfisted..." Night Emperor explained on behalf of his brother, "He regrets it now, brother, don't take it to heart."

Fang Che smiled, "I don't mind, I really don't. Moreover... his current state is beneficial to me."

Night Emperor thought for a moment before understanding and burst into laughter.

"You really are cunning, brother."

"Big Brother, you must keep this a secret," Fang Che said with a smile, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. Even if Night Emperor went back and told Si Kong Ye, Si Kong Ye would still have to do something to ease his mind.

Moreover, if Night Emperor went back and told Si Kong Ye, Si Kong Ye would feel even more indebted to him. On the one hand, he would feel like he was taking advantage of his brother's feelings to plead for him.

On the other hand, if someone says they don't mind, do you really believe them?

For someone with a guilty conscience, this inner demon was something they couldn't shake off.

The moon rose high in the sky.

On the mountain peak, Si Kong Ye, who had been waiting, was growing impatient.

A gust of wind blew, and Night Emperor appeared before him with a young man.

"Si Kong Ye! Do you have any sense of time... Who is this?" Si Kong Ye frowned as he looked at Fang Che.

This guy... looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

His appearance was ordinary, but his sharp brows and fierce eyes gave off a wolfish aura, making him quite robust. His cultivation level was not low for his age, probably around the Huang level? His talent was quite good, and he had an innate eerie and ethereal aura, similar to Si Kong Ye's energy...

Si Kong Ye humphed, "I come when I want, and I leave when I want. What's it to you?"

Then he turned to Fang Che, "This is... you should call him 'Shibo' (Uncle). Although we are incompatible and must fight to the death when we meet, we are still from the same sect. As a junior, it's only proper for you to pay your respects to your Shibo, it's like paying respects to your ancestors."

Si Kong Ye's face twisted as he looked at Si Kong Ye, feeling at a loss, "Your... disciple?"

He was completely unprepared.

He never dreamed that Si Kong Ye would bring a relative to meet him tonight.

"Yes, my disciple, Ou Yang Tianchou," Si Kong Ye said, almost biting his tongue as he spoke these words.

This bastard, why did he choose such a name inviting divine punishment...

Then he said to Fang Che, "Tianchou, your Shibo is a renowned figure in the Only Righteous Sect. Although we stand on different sides, and although you may not meet him again, and although he might even kill you in the future, he is indeed a distinguished figure. Go and ask your Shibo for a gift."

Fang Che was a bit flustered, "Disciple... disciple... I'm sorry..."

"What's there to be sorry about?" Si Kong Ye said, "Why be sorry about your own Shibo? This is your only chance to take advantage of him as your Shibo. Go and ask!"
