Chapter 559: Fang Che's Concerns [Two-in-One]

Chapter 559: Fang Che's Concerns [Two-in-One]

Yinshen Palace nodded, sighing with a hint of pity, "After all, it's been over twenty years since we last met. Such estrangement is inevitable, and it's unrealistic to force a connection. As a father, who doesn't treat their son like a precious treasure from the moment of birth? They attend to every need, play with them, and guide them through growth, both in words and actions... But your father missed out on the most crucial aspect of companionship during your formative years. It's only natural that the bond would weaken over time."

"Yes," Fang Che acknowledged, nodding. "Master's analysis is spot on."

"However, the timing of his appearance still feels a bit off," Fang Che mused. "I don't know how to explain it... but I think Master understands what I mean."

"Is it too coincidental? Did he come too easily without much searching?" Yinshen Palace stroked his beard and smiled.

"Yes, that's exactly how I feel," Fang Che agreed, patting his thigh.

"So, Master, please help your disciple and discreetly investigate this matter," Fang Che requested.

"Hmm?" Yinshen Palace's gaze deepened. "You suspect he might be connected to the Protectors?"

Fang Che grimaced, "If he were associated with the Protectors, it would be a blessing for me. It would be a great help. But my concern isn't about that... It's the possibility of other forces being involved."

"Hmm?"

"I'm talking about the other forces besides our Only Righteous Sect and the Protectors."

Fang Che's worry was palpable, "If that's the case, things would become too complicated."

Mu Linyuan, standing nearby, chimed in, "Your concern seems a bit unfounded, doesn't it?"

Fang Che forced a bitter laugh, "But how can I set my mind at ease?"

This statement was the honest truth, spoken from the depths of his heart.

Yinshen Palace and Mu Linyuan, along with Qian Sanjiang, silently nodded in agreement.

It was undeniable that Night Demon's concern held some validity.

"My greatest fear is that he might be connected to our Only Righteous Sect. But this possibility should be ruled out."

Fang Che continued, "What I hope for the most is that he's associated with the Protectors. That would make everything easier."

"The last thing I want is for him to be connected to any other force."

Fang Che held his head, "Master, I truly don't know what to do."

Yinshen Palace was equally at a loss, repeatedly assuring him, "I'll help you investigate, I'll look into it."

Qian Sanjiang sighed, "Indeed, if this Fang Laosan were linked to the Protectors, it would be ideal. But looking at his life's trajectory, it doesn't seem likely. He's spent his entire life being petty and self-serving... And in the end, he still managed to benefit from it all."

"Don't let it bother you too much," Yinshen Palace advised. "Considering your future endeavors, it's not like you'll be home often anyway. So, having a father with higher cultivation can only be beneficial for you. It's one less worry."

"That's the only comforting thought I have," Fang Che managed a weak smile.

Mu Linyuan realized, "True, if it becomes a source of distress, just stay away as much as possible."

Yinshen Palace glared at him, "Your mother is at home, and you want to stay away? Won't that hurt her even more?"

"The Supreme Leader's concern is valid," Mu Linyuan chuckled, "But when you're out there, it's always more comfortable than being at home."

"That's true," the others nodded in agreement.

After this exchange, Fang Che seemed to have unburdened himself, offloading his worries onto Yinshen Palace. He knew the significance of his words; by taking the initiative to request an investigation by the Only Righteous Sect, he had effectively neutralized any potential suspicion they might have had. The difference between being proactive and reactive was like night and day.

Regardless, Fang Che was confident they wouldn't find anything. Moreover, his approach today would reassure the entire upper echelon of the Only Righteous Sect! This was the most crucial aspect! If they had initiated the investigation, their constant suspicions would have been a significant distraction for Fang Che.

So, Fang Che took the initiative: I suspect my father has a problem! Please investigate!

"Let's get to the main topic," Yinshen Palace said.

Fang Che protested, "Master, what I just said is the most important matter!"

Yinshen Palace rolled his eyes, "That's your family business, a minor issue."

Fang Che hung his head in disappointment.

Mu Linyuan and Qian Sanjiang chuckled, "You silly boy, your opportunity for a reward is here, and you're not even excited!"

Fang Che's eyes lit up at the mention of a reward, "Master, what reward?"

Yinshen Palace laughed, "Look at you, all gloomy a moment ago, and now your eyes are sparkling at the mention of a reward!"

"Hahaha..."

Qian Sanjiang and Mu Linyuan burst into laughter, both pleased with Fang Che's reaction.

They genuinely liked what they saw. It was a feeling they hadn't experienced in years.

Fang Che blushed and smiled sheepishly, "Master, I've been waiting for this reward for so long. The last time I received the Dan Yun Divine Pill, I thought it would last, but with continuous injuries and my increasing cultivation, its effects have gradually diminished."

This is truly speechless..."

"Hmm?" Yinshen Palace frowned, "What rank are you at now?"

"Imperial Rank, Ninth Stage," Fang Che chuckled, "Martial Emperor! Ninth Stage! Peak!"

"Holy shit!"

This exclamation came from Qian Sanjiang, who had just broken through to Martial Venerable this year. As for Mu Linyuan, although he had advanced earlier than Qian, it was also this year that he had reached the Martial Venerable stage.

Now, Fang Che was already at the Martial Emperor Ninth Stage!

Both men felt this was somewhat surreal.

Although there was still the Imperial Lord stage in between, both men knew Fang Che's ability to fight beyond his rank!

Doesn't that mean... they were no longer Fang Che's match?

The two men stared in disbelief, and Mu Linyuan unconsciously pulled out two strands of his beard.

He muttered, "I suddenly remembered when I gave this kid the initiation baptism... He was just a novice back then... How, how... did he catch up so quickly?"

For a moment, he felt like he was dreaming, and the sense of unreality was so vivid.

His mind was a little dazed.

Yinshen Palace was also a little flustered, his mouth agape.

He blinked and tried to recall.

The last time Night Demon reported his cultivation level, what was it again? Imperial First Stage? Or King Sixth Stage?

For a moment, his memory was in a muddle.

After a long while, he coughed, "No wonder those Cloud Spirit Divine Pills are running out. You're about to reach the Imperial Lord stage, and those pills are for those below that stage."

His mind wandered for a moment.

Then he said, "This time, you've done well in investigating the Divine Ferret Sect. Deputy Sect Master Yan has specially awarded you two bottles of Five-Colored Cloud Spirit Divine Pills."

"Below the Holy Venerable stage, any injury, even if your five viscera and six bowels are already rotten, can be healed instantly! As long as your head isn't cut off, you won't die!"

Yinshen Palace spoke with gravity, "This kind of pill, even at headquarters, is an extremely precious resource. Let me tell you, even someone like Elder Yan Beihan, at most has three to five pills for life-saving purposes. This time, Deputy Sect Master Yan has given you two bottles, twenty pills. This is a great honor!"

Fang Che immediately understood what this was.

He thought of the last time when Xing Yi used a sword to tear his five viscera, and then gave him that pill.

At that time, Xing Yi's pained expression was clear in his mind.

He immediately knew that Yinshen Palace wasn't boasting.

Fang Che contemplated for a moment and said, "Twenty pills, I don't need so many. Moreover, I'm currently safe and sound, so it's better for Master and Second Master and Third Master to each keep two, just in case. I only need one bottle, and with the current situation, you are actually more in danger than me! You keep them, and I'll feel more at ease."

The three of Yinshen Palace were instantly relieved.

But their faces remained expressionless, and Yinshen Palace looked at Fang Che and said, "This is truly a high-grade life-saving item. Night Demon, think about it clearly. Once it's given out, it's gone forever. No one can refuse such an offer."

Fang Che said earnestly, "I'm sincere, how can I possibly let my three masters go without? Please accept it, Master."

Fang Che was not pretending.

If Yinshen Palace truly wanted it, he would genuinely give up a bottle.

At this stage, there were too many places where he needed Yinshen Palace's support. So, he was truly sincere!

One must give to receive!

Yinshen Palace furrowed his brows and looked at Fang Che for a long time, finally smiling with relief, "You kid, you're really generous."

"For Master, Second Master, and Third Master, I'm even willing to give up my life!"

Fang Che spoke earnestly.

"Ahahaha..."

Yinshen Palace laughed, "You're willing to give, but we're not."

He took out two bottles of pills and said, "Keep them."

Fang Che was anxious and said, "I'm not pretending!"

Yinshen Palace hummed, his eyes and brows filled with a smile, "I know you're not pretending, but I and your Second Master and Third Master don't need them now, and... this is a reward from Deputy Sect Master Yan. How can we keep it for ourselves?"

Then he smiled and said, "Moreover, Deputy Sect Master Yan has considered this aspect. So, he has already given me one bottle, and for Second Master, Third Master, and Fourth Master, I've already given each of them one pill for life-saving purposes. Understand?"

"I understand..."

Fang Che chuckled and took the two bottles, saying, "So Master already had them, no wonder you didn't value my offerings. You made me worry for nothing. Since you don't value them, I'll keep them."

Yinshen Palace reached out and gave Fang Che a hard pat on the head, staring at him, "You think you can take advantage in front of me? Fine, I want your tribute now, take it out."

Fang Che retracted his hand and said with a fawning expression, "You're so old, I'll keep these for you for now..."

"Damn it! You slippery kid!"

The three of them burst into laughter.

The private room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Additionally, don't be stingy. Seize the time to improve your cultivation."

Yinshen Palace admonished, "Deputy Sect Master Yan has personally ordered to give you a spot in the Threefold Heavens, and a spot in the next phase of the Incubation Deity Plan at the Sect Master level."

"The Incubation Deity Plan, I know, but what is this Threefold Heavens?"

"It's said to be a place of cultivation where the three great spatial realms merge. I don't know the specifics either."

Yinshen Palace spoke vaguely, as this was the first time he'd heard of it. He said, "In short, it's a great opportunity."

"When?"

"It's said to have started about a month or two ago, but I don't know why it hasn't begun yet. Anyway, it will start at any time, so you should pay attention and seize the time."

"Disciple understands."

Fang Che nodded.

"As for this time's Supreme Leader-level Incubation Deity Plan... it's an even greater opportunity. Don't take it lightly."

Yinshen Palace spoke solemnly, "Only after experiencing this Supreme Leader-level Incubation Deity Plan will you be qualified to become the leader of a subordinate sect. Understand?"

"I understand. This is like an eligibility exam."

Fang Che replied.

"You understand a fart!"

Yinshen Palace was amused.

Mu Linyuan and Qian Sanjiang couldn't help but smile, their joy uncontrollable.

"This is the meaning of Deputy Supreme Leader Yan. Do you understand? He personally gave you the quota. Understand? In other words, as long as you don't die inside and come out after some cultivation, you'll become the leader of a sect! It's like he's promised you the position of a leader in advance! Understand?"

Yinshen Palace said this in a lowered voice, his tone solemn.

Fang Che scratched his head, also lowering his voice, "Disciple just thought of this aspect, but... Master, I'm still with the Protectors, and I don't have time for this position. It's a position that... well..."

Yinshen Palace's face turned ashen, "There will be arrangements in due time. What are you worrying about? Secure the quota first! Even if we can't become leaders, we'll reduce the opportunities for others!"

"Umm..."

Fang Che touched his nose, "Disciple obeys."

"As for the Incubation Deity Plan, it's the same as before."

Yinshen Palace lowered his voice, "Go all out... understand?"

"I understand! Kill with abandon!"

Fang Che replied obediently.

"Hehe..."

Yinshen Palace said, "I'm not familiar with the Threefold Heavens, but... it's necessary to eliminate some future competitors inside!"

"I understand."

Fang Che understood, "Kill them all!"

"Smart!"

Yinshen Palace smiled in approval, "In the future, when you're in the sect, remember my words today."

Mu Linyuan spoke softly from the side, "You're a sentimental child, but you should know that being sentimental isn't always a good thing. In this treacherous world, it's not a good thing, and in the Only Righteous Sect, it's easier for others to take advantage of you."

"You should know, a tiger doesn't harm people unless provoked. In this treacherous world, people's hearts are wicked. In the Only Righteous Sect, it's indeed this kind of environment, but not only the people in the sect will harm you."

"In this current world, once you're taken advantage of, it could cost you your life. Be cautious, very cautious!"

Mu Linyuan's words were heartfelt.

Yinshen Palace and Qian Sanjiang also nodded silently.

Qian Sanjiang sighed, "Speaking of which, the losses we and your master have suffered in this treacherous world are far more than those in the Only Righteous Sect."

When speaking of the treachery of the world, all three sighed.

But the three of them could only speak up to this point. Because, unless one experiences it personally, one will never truly understand!

The rest, they leave to time.

"Hmm, also, the last time the Head Elder went to the One Heart Sect, he taught me a set of sword techniques."

Yinshen Palace sighed, his expression complex, "This Heritage Pendant is for you."

"Pfft! Cough, cough..."

Mu Linyuan and Qian Sanjiang simultaneously sprayed tea, hurriedly turning their heads away, and coughing repeatedly.

Their faces turned red from coughing.

Because... even the Supreme Leader wanted to practice, but unfortunately, he hadn't mastered the advanced version of the Blood Spirit Seven Swords. This set was completely unfamiliar!

"Supreme Leader... I'm sorry... cough, cough..."

Yinshen Palace's face was rigid, his eyes murderous as he glared at the two bastards.

Gnashing his teeth, he hissed through clenched teeth, "Don't! Dare! Laugh!"

The two quickly stopped laughing.

They struggled to maintain their composure.

Mu Linyuan hurriedly activated the Ice Clear Spirit Platform Heart Technique to stabilize his mind. But... he couldn't hold it in.

"Pfft... Hahahaha..."

The two burst out laughing, quickly covering their mouths and fleeing the tea room.

Fang Che was dumbfounded, "What happened?"

"Nothing."

Yinshen Palace's face was dark, his teeth clenched, "They're both sick! Very seriously!"

Fang Che took the Heritage Pendant and pressed it against his forehead, his spiritual soul power activating, and he instantly understood, "Blood River Sword Technique... Master, this sword technique is profound."

"Cultivate it yourself. A man in this world must rely on himself."

Yinshen Palace spoke with a righteous expression, "Always relying on the master's teachings, how far can you go?

"Have some backbone!"

"Yes... yes, I'll try to study it."

Fang Che scratched his head, not understanding why he was suddenly scolded again.

Clearly, he hadn't done anything.

It was you who suggested this sword technique. Why are you scolding me? Two people outside were chattering noisily.

Yinshen Palace suddenly lost interest and stood up, saying, "We've finished the important matters, so let's prepare to stroll back. It seems we won't be able to attend your parents' wedding banquet."

Fang Che was surprised, "Why? You've come all this way, how can you just leave like this? No, no!"

Yinshen Palace had a hard time explaining, "I don't want to leave either, but Deputy Sect Master has arranged some matters..."

Just at that moment, Fang Che frowned and took out his Guardian's communication jade pendant to check.

"Someone's looking for you?"

Yinshen Palace asked.

"Yes, Deputy Chief An Ruoxing asked me if I was at Fragrant Leaves Tea. He's almost here."

Fang Che took a glance and said.

"Is An Ruoxing coming?"

Yinshen Palace's face suddenly turned white.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Yinshen Palace had already rushed out of the room, saying, "I'm leaving!"

His speed was so fast that Fang Che didn't even see his afterimage.

Outside, Mu Linyuan and Qian Sanjiang also disappeared with a whoosh.

Fang Che looked around in a daze.

He made a confused expression.

Then, taking advantage of no one being around, he stored the items in his spatial ring.

Tsk, having a ring is so convenient.

Yinshen Palace left Fragrant Leaves Tea, and the three of them met up, "Let's avoid the Fang Family's direction and take a shortcut out of the city."

"The Fang Family is in the east, so we'll head west."

Flying high in the sky was not an option; the current Biyue City was too dangerous.

The three of them chose a direction opposite to the Fang Family and headed west, passing through several alleys, winding their way through the twists and turns.

...

An Ruoxing chatted with Fang Zhenghang and Fang Xiao at the Fang Family, then received a message from the Divine Elder and wandered around the west side of the city, where he met an old acquaintance.

He came especially to deliver the good news.

An Ruoxing was displeased, "Weren't you supposed to keep an eye on Fang Che? To protect his safety, why did you go wandering around?"

Divine Elder, "Fang Che is not far away at Fragrant Leaves Tea. He's in a bad mood, so I didn't follow him too closely."

An Ruoxing asked, "Who?"

"Celestial Authority Sovereign Jiang Shang O."

An Ruoxing became interested, "Is he here? Wait there, I'll come right away!"

Celestial Authority Sovereign Jiang Shang O was a fellow martial artist whom An Ruoxing had always been interested in.

Moreover, they had interacted before.

These few people were also considered part of the group that had entered the Guardian's ranks with their passionate blood and determined hearts, but they were the group with the lowest cultivation among all the Guardians.

However, with their passion and determination, they managed to continuously complete some low-level tasks assigned by the Guardians.

These seven people were united in their righteousness and called themselves the North Star Brothers.

Among them, Celestial Authority Sovereign Jiang Shang O was the fourth brother, corresponding to the Celestial Authority Star.

Later, after the eldest brother's death, for some unknown reason, the six of them were directly transferred by the higher-ups and removed from the front line of task execution, being reassigned to the rear.

Later, they underwent specialized training and each assumed important positions.

But the six of them completed all the tasks assigned to them with excellence. Gradually, they changed some people's prejudices and gained respect.

Now that Celestial Authority Sovereign Jiang Shang O had arrived, An Ruoxing, out of courtesy and duty, decided to go and meet him.

So, he immediately set off and headed to the west side of the city.

The three of them met and exchanged a few words.

"What are you looking for Fang Che for?"

An Ruoxing was surprised.

"Yes, we've met once, and now I'm passing through Biyue City on official business, but I heard about the Fang Family's celebration."

Jiang Shang O smiled, "Since it's such a coincidence, how can I not leave something as a gift?"

This was a reasonable request.

If An Ruoxing himself were to pass by somewhere and hear that someone's family in the city was celebrating, he would also have to go and congratulate them and bring a gift.

"That's simple."

An Ruoxing smiled and immediately took out his communication jade pendant, asking Fang Che, "Are you still at Fragrant Leaves Tea?"

Fang Che replied, "Yes, I'm having tea."

"Then wait for us, we'll be there soon."

So, An Ruoxing, along with Jiang Shang O and the Divine Elder, headed east.

To take a shortcut, they deliberately passed through several alleys, chatting and relaxing along the way.

As they turned a corner and entered a small alley, three people suddenly rushed around the corner ahead of them.

All six of them were in a hurry, especially the three people in front, who were rushing without any caution, and almost collided with each other.

An Ruoxing quickly spun around to avoid them and then frowned, "How do you walk like that? So rushed?"

The person in the middle of the three in front spoke up, "Are you blind?"

Then he looked up.

His eyes met with An Ruoxing's.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise escaped his lips, "Little Brother?!"
