Chapter 568: Do You Know Fang Che? [Part 2]

Fang Yunzheng's eyes widened in surprise.

Suddenly, he burst into laughter, "This is... a wake-up call from a dream!"

Fang Che was puzzled, "What?"

"Jiu Ge gave me instructions, and he wants Yan Nan to handle this matter."

Fang Che immediately understood, "That's right! Haha... this is indeed a great idea!"

He quickly sent a message to Yinshen Palace, "Master, there's a potential crisis. My identity as your disciple may be at risk of exposure."

Yinshen Palace, still hiding in the cave, was shocked upon seeing Fang Che's message.

My precious disciple must not get into trouble!

He jumped up, hastily replying, "But everything seems fine. How could there be a risk of exposure?"

"Master, we've always overlooked the most crucial point—the identity of Fang Che's master. This is a weak link that won't hold up to scrutiny."

Yinshen Palace was perplexed, "But isn't this matter already resolved? The Guardian has been investigating you repeatedly because of this, right?"

Fang Che touched his forehead.

Yinshen Palace had indeed fallen into the same trap as him.

Their thinking had led them astray.

"It's resolved on the Guardian's side," Fang Che sighed and explained, "Master, we've always been concerned about exposure to the Guardian, but after walking the Heart Reflection Path twice, the risk of exposure on the Guardian's side is almost non-existent, or at least, it's no longer a significant concern."

"However, we should now be worried about exposure within our own sect."

"Originally, we didn't need to consider other factors regarding Fang Che, but in reality... since the last Young Generation Friendship Battle, Fang Che's name has caught the attention of most people."

"After that, many families sought revenge on Night Demon by killing Sun Yuan's master due to the Incubation Deity Plan. As far as I know, at least two families were involved, and the exact number of families keeping an eye on this is still unknown. If they find out that Sun Yuan has another disciple who is doing well on the Guardian's side..."

Fang Che paused, feeling that he didn't need to elaborate further.

On the other side, Yinshen Palace went cold all over.

Indeed, they had always been worried about Night Demon's exposure to the Guardian, but they had never considered the risk of exposure within the Only Me Righteous Sect. It was equally serious.

Yinshen Palace hurriedly said, "But even if they investigate, they can only find out that you're Sun Yuan's disciple, which has nothing to do with Night Demon. I trust you on this point."

"But if they find out that Fang Che's master is Sun Yuan, that's enough for them to use all sorts of methods to frame, incriminate, report, or even assassinate. They can employ any means necessary."

"Their goal may not be to destroy Night Demon but to eliminate Sun Yuan's disciple and remove future threats. If they start down this path, when they destroy Fang Che, Night Demon will also be inadvertently affected and may never reappear..."

"There's also Yan Beihan, Feng Yun, Feng Xing, Chen Yin, and others. Their intelligence is not something ordinary people can match. When Fang Che rises to prominence, will they investigate?"

"If they do, what will they think and what actions will they take? These are all uncertain factors. These are the hidden dangers that exist within the disciple."

Fang Che continued, "Furthermore, even if Fang Che is Night Demon, it may not be an absolute secret. The spy in the White Cloud Martial Academy knows it clearly. Can we trust that person?"

Yinshen Palace's heart skipped a beat.

Fang Che's concerns were well-founded.

Whether it was the fear of retaliation from major families, the investigation by the younger generation's leaders, or the worry about the spy in the White Cloud Martial Academy, all these concerns were valid!

Yinshen Palace, Mu Linyuan, and Qian Sanjiang stared at each other, each seeing the utmost horror in the other's eyes.

Just when they thought Fang Che's undercover mission was a complete success, such a significant loophole still existed!

The most terrifying part was that they had never noticed such a huge loophole!

It was inconceivable!

"How could this be? How could we have overlooked such a massive loophole?"

Yinshen Palace's hands began to tremble.

His eyes widened in shock.

Mu Linyuan sighed and said, "After the Incubation Deity Plan, we carefully analyzed Fang Che's identity. We all concluded that Night Demon's identity would not be exposed."

"But at that time, Fang Che's original identity was not well-known, so no one would pay attention. Therefore, we believed that no one would investigate Sun Yuan so precisely through Fang Che. This reasoning was absolutely valid at the time, so we considered it safe."

"However, we overlooked one thing—people change, and Fang Che will improve. As he gradually stabilized his steps, rose in status, and his cultivation surpassed his peers, he would inevitably attract everyone's attention and become a key figure!"

"But we prematurely assumed that this matter was resolved and neglected this problem.

"But I never imagined that just Fang Che’s true identity alone would be worth anyone’s effort to investigate! His identity, his experiences, his master, his classmates, his instructors, all of his social connections!"

Mu Linyuan bitterly smiled: "This setback... I die with eyes open!"

"Fang Che’s identity can be separated from that of the Night Demon, there’s no doubt about that. But the biggest problem is, when Fang Che himself becomes the target of their assassination, all separation loses its meaning."

"Because by killing Fang Che, they also kill the Night Demon! Even if they don’t know they have already killed the Night Demon, the fact remains... the Night Demon dies with Fang Che."

Qian Sanjiang sighed: "And this matter has certainly been known by many. When we were unaware, the families involved in the secret plot to murder Sun Yuan would not be idle!"

"Even if they don’t think in this direction, people like Yan Beihan, Feng Yun, Chen Yin, and Feng Xing, after the last generation friendship battle and Fang Che’s entry into the Yin-Yang World, would certainly investigate! This is a certainty!"

"They must have already gathered all the information available. The only thing they might not know is that Fang Che is the Night Demon."

"But whether they will make this inference... is something no one can predict."

"We overlooked this issue... and it turned out that Fang Che himself realized this problem."

Mu Linyuan and Qian Sanjiang sighed deeply, feeling a sense of regret, wondering if they were getting old.

Such an obvious loophole, and they had covered it up without even realizing it! The Yinshen Palace was truly in a state of confusion.

He had never felt so anxious.

Frowning, he asked, "What do we do now?"

The two men smiled bitterly at each other: "There’s really nothing we can do..."

The Yinshen Palace frowned, began to activate the Five Spirit Gu: "Night Demon, how did you come to this realization?"

"This time, the commotion in the Southeast is just too big... Master, once you were exposed, all the Southeast Guardians gathered here. After failing to find anything, Director Zhao Shanhe even brought all the Southeast officials to Biyue City for the wedding..."

Seeing this, the Yinshen Palace immediately understood.

The situation was too grand.

The Fang family’s wedding, and the name Fang Che, had suddenly become the focal point of almost the entire continent.

This position of being the target of everyone’s attention made Fang Che feel a sense of danger, leading him to constantly reflect and discover this fatal flaw!

"What do you think?" The Yinshen Palace’s mind was in turmoil, humbly seeking advice from his disciple.

He felt his mind was in chaos, as if lightning was constantly exploding inside his head, leaving him unable to think clearly!

"The disciple believes that this matter has already exceeded our control and our ability to resolve. It must be immediately reported to the Vice Sect Leader. Although it’s not a major issue, only the Vice Sect Leader can handle it!"

Fang Che immediately proposed his suggestion.

The Yinshen Palace’s eyes lit up: "Right!"

He immediately picked up the communication jade and contacted Yan Nan.

"Vice Sect Leader, this subordinate, Yinshen Palace, acknowledges his sins."

"This subordinate acted on his own, and it is unforgivable."

"But now, there is an urgent matter to report to the Vice Sect Leader; the Night Demon’s identity is at risk of exposure, and... it may have already been partially exposed."

"The situation is as follows."

The Yinshen Palace recounted everything, including his own analysis, and reported it in detail.

He then attached his conversation with the Night Demon.

And sent it over.

Yan Nan was still in seclusion at headquarters, always trying to find the point he had overlooked. Just as he was in the middle of this, the message from the Yinshen Palace arrived.

Yan Nan impatiently grabbed it and read it.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he had an epiphany!

He instantly understood what he had overlooked!

It was this!

The issue of the Night Demon’s identity as Fang Che!

As the Yinshen Palace’s report stated, there was no longer any doubt about the Night Demon’s identity on the Guardian side.

The current danger was the issue of Fang Che’s identity on the Only Righteous Sect side.

After reading, Yan Nan couldn’t help but sigh.

Initially, sending the Night Demon to the Heaven’s First King was to better infiltrate the Guardians.

But now...

After becoming famous, he had even forgotten the problem of Fang Che attracting too much attention.

As for whether the younger generation, like Yan Beihan, would investigate Fang Che...

Thinking of this, he immediately sent a message.

"Xiao Han, where are you?"

"I am pressuring the Cold Sword Sect, and I have reached the third step. After this, many people from the Cold Sword Sect should join our side, including the upper echelons."

As long as they truly come over, then the final strike against the Cold Sword Sect can be initiated."

Yan Beihan's message exuded a sense of strategic planning.

"Come over to my side for a moment."

Yan Nan immediately gave an order: "I have something to ask you."

"Right away."

Yan Nan then issued another command to someone else: "Let Chen Yin, Feng Xing, Bai Di, and Chen Yun... come to the main hall to see me."

A quarter of an hour later, Yan Beihan flew over and entered the headquarters.

Wherever she went, everyone she met greeted her respectfully.

Yan Beihan walked briskly, but she didn't ignore anyone. She greeted everyone and remembered everyone's names clearly.

She even remembered the names of some of the younger children in the families and spoke with concern despite her cold demeanor.

"Li Du, the other day I saw your wife playing with little Haoer. The little guy is so adorable, and he's already grown up. You must teach him well."

"Mu Chen, your daughter is called Mu Dan'er, right? She's so beautiful at such a young age. It must be tough for you, Mu Chen. It's amazing that someone like you could have such a pretty daughter. I really like her."

"..."

After a quick round of greetings, Yan Beihan disappeared at the entrance of the main hall.

Everyone who greeted her was stunned for a moment.

When they came back to their senses, Yan Beihan was nowhere to be seen.

They couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.

"It seems like Yan Beihan has changed."

"Yes, she's changed a lot."

"She not only remembers our names but also knows about our families."

One person spoke up: "It's just a leader's management technique. Yan Beihan has grown up, and it's natural that she would focus on leadership skills. This is nothing unusual."

"Nothing unusual?"

Several people scoffed: "Would you rather work under a boss who can't even remember your name or under a leader like Yan Beihan who takes the time to understand your family and cares about you?"

Everyone fell silent.

Indeed, who wouldn't want to work under a leader like Yan Beihan?

She remembers your family, your loved ones, and your children. She understands your background and your resources.

In one sentence: Even if you die in battle one day, with a leader like her, you don't have to worry about your family.

Because she will take good care of them.

Perhaps not as well as when you were alive, but they will never suffer any injustice or unfair treatment.

Isn't this enough? Isn't it worth giving your all?

Yan Beihan entered the main hall.

"Grandfather, I'm here."

Yan Nan's gaze was deep, and his brows furrowed as he said, "Sit opposite me."

Yan Beihan immediately understood that this conversation was formal and respectful. She bowed slightly, "Yes, Vice Sect Leader."

She sat upright opposite Yan Nan.

Yan Nan was satisfied, but his expression remained unchanged as he said, "I have a question for you."

"Please ask."

Yan Beihan replied.

"Among the Guardians, the one currently in charge of the Life and Death Command in the Southeast Headquarters, Fang Che, the person who entered the Yin-Yang World with you, how well do you know him?"

Yan Nan asked with a heavy tone.

Thump! Yan Beihan's heart skipped a beat, and she almost panicked.

Why is Grandfather asking about this person? She immediately furrowed her brows, using a woman's innate ability to counter-attack: "Fang Che? Why did you suddenly ask about him, Grandfather?"

Yan Nan's brows furrowed, "Why did you call him that?"

"It was unexpected, so I spoke out of turn."

Yan Beihan's heart was at ease; it was an official matter! She replied fluently, "Fang Che, the winner of the Youth Friendship Battle, was crowned Heaven's First King and is an unparalleled genius. He is from Biyu City, and his mother, Fang Qianyi, raised him alone for nineteen years. Just these past two days, his father, the third young master of the Fang family in Southeast Crimson Flame City, woke up and went to recognize him. They got married yesterday."

"Fang Che once studied under Sun Yuan and is a revered elder of the One Heart Sect. The Su family incident in Biyu City also raised some suspicions about Fang Che. After that, the Guardians suspected that Fang Che was our mole. They specifically targeted him and made him walk the Heart Reflection Path twice..."

"After the suspicions were cleared, he took up the position in the Southeast Donghu Continent and was in charge of the Life and Death Command..."

"From his current actions, it's unlikely that he is a spy for our sect. After all, he only had a mentor during his childhood. He hates evil intensely and doesn't tolerate any sand in his eyes. As the holder of the Life and Death Command, he has killed many and has a high reputation in the Southeast."

"Moreover, he has a kind heart, especially when it comes to working for the welfare of the lower classes."

"If he is allowed to grow, he will likely become a major enemy of our Only Righteous Sect in the future!"

Yan Beihan recited Fang Che's information as if she had memorized it.

It was complete and very detailed.

But as she spoke, Yan Nan's face grew darker.

It was too detailed, too clear.

"When did you start investigating Fang Che?" Yan Nan asked with a dark face.

"After the last youth gathering, I had someone collect all his information."

Because in the future... there will likely be countless opportunities to face him, and such an enemy must be understood beforehand."

"After entering the Yin-Yang World together and coming out of it, I thoroughly investigated every detail again. Fang Che's harvest from the Yin-Yang World was even greater than Feng Yun's."

"Feng Yun didn't even fill up the spatial ring from the Yin-Yang World, but Fang Che did. Among all those who entered the Yin-Yang World, only two people filled up their spatial rings—me and Fang Che!"

Yan Beihan's mind relaxed, and his thoughts became clearer. He even subtly stepped on Feng Yun's toes—Feng Yun is inferior to Fang Che and me.

Then, he quickly moved on, saying, "So, no matter how much importance we attach to such an enemy, it won't be excessive."

Yan Beihan's answer was flawless.

But precisely because of this, Yan Nan's face darkened further.

He realized that he had made the same mistake as the Yinshen Palace: assuming that Night Demon was safe without thorough investigation!

Even Yan Beihan had started investigating Fang Che since the Youth Friendship Battle.

He had only become aware of this now.

And it was because he was reminded.

Taking a deep breath, Yan Nan said, "You're temporarily off the hook. Go and wait in the side hall."

His tone was clearly displeased.

"???"

Yan Beihan was a little puzzled. He had hurriedly called me over, but was it just for this?

But now, the Vice Sect Leader was investigating the matter, not a grandfather asking his granddaughter. Yan Beihan obediently entered the side hall to wait.

The other young people summoned by Yan Nan had also arrived and were lined up outside the hall.

The second person to enter was Chen Yun.

"What do you think of Fang Che, the Protector?"

"Fang Che?"

Chen Yun was taken aback, vaguely feeling that the name sounded familiar. He tried to recall, "The Fang Che who won the King-level championship in the Youth Friendship Battle?"

"That's right. Have you investigated him?"

"I haven't specifically looked into it..."

"Then what have you investigated?"

"I..."

"Wait in the side hall."

Chen Yun, confused, entered the side hall.

Seeing that Yan Beihan was already inside, seemingly in detention, he couldn't help but feel relieved, "Xiao Han, why are you here too?"

Yan Beihan had already overheard the conversation outside.

His wariness towards the head of the Chen family had mostly dissipated.

Such a person was not worth worrying about. If he put some thought into it, he might even be able to bring the other side's forces under his command.

So, he treated him amicably, chatting casually and harmoniously, even hinting at an alliance. If Chen Yun played his cards right, he might be able to bring the other side's forces under his command.

Chen Yun was overjoyed and became enthusiastic, engaging in conversation with Yan Beihan.

After Chen Yun left, Yan Nan pondered for a while.

Chen Yun hadn't investigated Fang Che... Was it a coincidence?

The next person to be summoned was Bai Ye.

When Yan Nan asked, Bai Ye answered fluently.

"When did you start your investigation?"

"After the Youth Friendship Battle..."

"Did you initiate the investigation yourself, or did someone remind you?"

"I started it on my own."

"Go to the side hall!"

"Yes..."

Bai Ye had also conducted an investigation.

Yan Nan's face darkened further.

Then he called the next person.

The next one was Feng Xing.

He hadn't investigated Fang Che.

But the next one, Chen Yin, was even more clear and organized.

Yan Nan didn't feel like asking anymore.

Out of the five he questioned, three had already investigated.

Feng Yun was currently in the Southeast and couldn't return, but it was obvious even without thinking that Feng Yun wouldn't overlook this new rising star among the Protectors in the Southeast!

This was a certainty.

Yan Nan rubbed his temples and sighed softly.

It seemed that the exposure of Fang Che's true identity was now a certainty.

He didn't want to ask further, but Yan Nan now had a different thought: to use this matter as a test for these younger generation members.

He wanted to see how many of them had investigated this genius.

So, he continued asking one after another.

In total, he questioned over fifty people.

Thirteen of them had investigated and had a clear understanding, while the others hadn't been asked.

These thirteen, along with Feng Yun who was away, were all added to Yan Nan's priority list.

Those who had recognized the future formidable enemy and conducted detailed investigations would never be mediocre, even if they didn't achieve great things.

As for those who didn't care...

From then on, they were excluded from Yan Nan's priority cultivation list.

Such a peerless genius, and you didn't investigate him? Where's your brain? Do you have to wait for someone's blade to reach your neck before you realize how formidable this person is?

The questioning was over.

Yan Nan directly dismissed all the youngsters gathered in the side hall.

"Get out!"

Vice Sect Leader Yan was in a foul mood.

Yan Beihan and the others were sent out.

They were all bewildered.

The Vice Sect Leader had called so many people just to inquire about Fang Che?

Had Fang Che become this important?
