Chapter 792: He is Our Hero [Two in One]
Chapter 792: He is Our Hero [Two in One]
This group was quite lively when they gathered together.
First, they discussed how to protect and take care of Ye Meng and Fang Qingyun. They had to do so without hindering their trials and progress...
It was a delicate balance to strike.
Everyone expressed their opinions, and Yu Zhongge quickly jotted down notes on the side, accepting all suggestions. Later, they would narrow down the options in a smaller group.
The goal was to leave no stone unturned.
Then, they started questioning Wind Xiangdong and Xue Wanren about how they were defeated.
This topic was particularly interesting!
The brothers passionately discussed it.
Soon, others noticed the lively atmosphere and joined in, contributing to the discussion.
In a short time, the group swelled to over sixty people...
With so many people, they had to reassess the situation, especially the Wind Clan disciples. When they heard Wind Xiangdong mention Fang Tu's wife, they immediately showed respect: "We must protect her!"
"Anyone who dares to cause trouble, our Wind Clan will take care of them!"
"Our Xue Clan will do the same!"
"And our Yu Clan..."
The crowd's emotions were running high.
They clenched their fists and made vows, giving the impression of a mysterious gang formation...
Suddenly, one guy had a wild thought. He squinted and daydreamed: "I wonder if the sister-in-law has any close friends or sisters..."
Upon hearing this, Wind Xiangdong, Luo Shui, and others coughed in unison.
Dongfang Zhe spoke with depth: "Even if she does, it's up to her to introduce them. What kind of relationship do we have with Brother Fang that we'd get a chance?"
At this, the others protested loudly, arguing that it was a matter of fate, depending on one's character, effort, looks, charm, and chemistry, not family background.
So, Luo Shui and the others became more serious: "It's said that Brother Fang mentioned having a younger sister-in-law..."
Instantly, a group of guys' eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Everyone has their own abilities! Fair competition!" Wind Xiangdong's face turned solemn: "No underhanded tricks!"
"Of course, of course!" The crowd nodded like pecking chickens.
As the atmosphere reached a boiling point, Meng Wuhen quickly changed the subject: "Let's talk about serious matters..."
This only made the others more curious, feeling that these guys were avoiding the topic. Their interest intensified: What kind of girl could catch the attention of the Wind and Yu Clans?
Sixty people became excited.
They indulged in fantasies and aspirations.
Some, with rich imaginations, had already started naming their grandchildren...
Of course, the top priority was protecting the sister-in-law, and everyone's enthusiasm was visibly heightened.
The person they were protecting, Ye Meng, had already arrived at the headquarters.
Moreover, she was participating in a routine conversation that no one could avoid.
However, Ye Meng's routine conversation was of a higher caliber.
Dongfang San San personally spoke with Ye Meng.
When Ye Meng saw Dongfang San San, she was stunned.
The Ninth Lord personally came to talk to me?
This reality left Ye Meng in awe, so much so that she was speechless.
"Nine... Nine... Nine..."
Ye Meng's lips trembled: "...Ninth Lord!"
"Are you surprised?"
Dongfang San San smiled warmly and said, "Yue Ying, you've endured a lot these past two years."
With just two words, "Yue Ying" and "endured," Ye Meng burst into tears.
She couldn't help but sob.
Dongfang San San smiled kindly, waiting patiently for her to calm down, showing no impatience.
Ye Meng quickly regained her composure, as she had a huge question burning in her heart.
She raised her head.
Dongfang San San noticed Ye Meng's gaze and smiled, saying, "Do you have something to ask me?"
Ye Meng took a deep breath, her voice trembling, and asked, "Ninth Lord, is... is he one of us?"
Ye Meng had thought about this countless times. As his companion, she had noticed things that others might have missed.
This was her most cherished fantasy.
After asking this question, she held her breath.
Staring intently at Dongfang San San's face, her heart pounded rapidly.
Seeing Ye Meng's tense and pale face, Dongfang San San slowly spoke with unwavering certainty, seriousness, and sincerity. He used a fallen dog, saying earnestly: "Yes!"
That single word made Ye Meng burst into tears, and her entire body went limp as she collapsed to the ground, sobbing.
Her inner struggle, helplessness, love, and conflict were suddenly released.
"He is one of us."
Dongfang San San spoke softly: "He is our... greatest hero!"
He gazed dreamily at the hazy sky outside the window, saying, "In the future, this continent will owe him a great debt!"
"We will all owe him a great debt!"
Dongfang San San's voice was filled with emotion.
Ye Meng felt a surge of warmth and sourness in her heart, and her nose suddenly turned sour.
She was overjoyed and happy, but her tears continued to flow uncontrollably.
Finally, I know, my long-held suspicions were correct.
It was worth it!
Dongfang San San asked, "You figured it out when you saw me?"
Yemeng nodded vigorously, her nasal voice thick. "Mm! Mm-hmm!"
"Because, even the most important undercover agent doesn't warrant your personal involvement."
Yemeng said.
"Hmm."
Dong Fang San San smiled slightly and said, "But... the other point is, once you see me, you can't go back."
"Eh?"
Yemeng raised her head in shock.
"You are no longer suitable to stay by his side."
Dong Fang San San said, "In the future, the levels he will encounter will be higher and higher, perhaps a tumultuous sea of storms. You can no longer help him over there. Instead, you might become his biggest weakness and drag him down."
"...I understand."
Yemeng lowered her head sadly and then said, "Will he... be upset with me? After all, I was an undercover agent by his side..."
Dong Fang San San couldn't help but find it a bit amusing. "Why would you think that? No, because on the first day you went, he already knew your identity."
"..."
Yemeng bit her lip.
In that instant, she didn't know what to feel.
Just a moment ago, she was worried about how she would face him in the future. After all, she was an undercover agent, even though they were on the same side, would he understand?
Would he... have any thoughts about her, or anger, or...
But she never expected to hear such an answer?
"First day? The day I... started as an undercover agent by his side?" Yemeng was shocked.
"Exactly."
"..."
Yemeng was momentarily stunned, then her face turned bright red, a mix of shame and anger as she bit her lip.
She thought about every time she sent intelligence, Fang Che would take advantage of her sense of guilt, manipulating her in all sorts of ways, in all sorts of positions...
Every time, she always tried her best to cooperate.
Because, after she wronged him, she felt she had to make up for it...
Now she understood, everything... that guy knew from the start?
I carefully infiltrated, went to great lengths to gather intelligence, and in the end... I was just a little fool in his eyes.
He watched me perform, and even used my sense of guilt to continuously make all sorts of unreasonable demands...
In that instant, Yemeng didn't know what she should feel. She felt a mix of shame, anger, joy, and embarrassment, all intertwined.
That big pervert!
Yemeng's entire being was in disarray. The surprise she felt earlier was completely overshadowed.
It was too embarrassing.
Too... shameful...
I'm the biggest joke in the entire world of undercover agents... sniff.
An undercover agent who became a mere puppet... the only one in history, even my body and heart were lost...
If it weren't for Dong Fang San San being right in front of her, Yemeng almost wanted to cover her face and scream in shame.
Such a thing... even just thinking about it now, she felt like her ten toes were digging into the ground, creating a bottomless abyss...
Dong Fang San San clearly understood Yemeng's state of mind and remained silent for a few breaths, allowing the girl to adjust herself.
But as time passed, Yemeng's embarrassment didn't subside; instead, it intensified, almost bursting forth... because Dong Fang San San, right in front of her, also knew the inside story.
Yemeng's face turned bright red.
She covered her face, wishing to disappear from here as quickly as possible and find a place where no one was to shout and scream.
Time couldn't be wasted.
Dong Fang San San quickly got to the point.
"Next, for the trial in Heavenly Palace Netherworld, your direction will be very different from others."
"Please, Ninth Lord, instruct me."
"Hmm, your direction in the trial is not about martial power, combat strength, or cultivation, but... only then can I have a reason to keep you at headquarters and give you an appropriate position."
Dong Fang San San said, "In the future... you will wait for him at headquarters."
"But won't this make the other side... suspect? If I suddenly stay at headquarters, they will surely be suspicious, right?"
Yemeng asked, biting her lip. "Will it increase the danger for him?"
"Don't worry, does Yan Nan really think he can guess my true intentions? The more obvious I am, the less he will suspect."
Dong Fang San San chuckled. "So, staying at headquarters will only make Yan Nan happier, and he won't have any other thoughts."
"Moreover, in the future, you will be an undercover agent at headquarters... understand? You must act accordingly... at headquarters, I will guide you at any time, understand?"
Dong Fang San San said meaningfully.
"Understood."
Dong Fang San San left.
Yemeng was still dazed for a long time.
Was this the Ninth Lord? Just now, he gave me so many instructions, with a gentle and kind attitude, treating me as if I were his own family...
The Ninth Lord is a really good person.
The door opened.
Xue Fuxiao led Yemeng out to join the group.
First, they reported to the Enforcement Minister, Yan Wuzui, then, with the official seal, Yan Wuzui waved his hand and walked out with a cold face, like a judge.
Then, Yemeng met up with Fang Qingyun.
Fang Qingyun looked heart-racing. "Is the headquarters' screening so strict? Sister-in-law, I felt like I was being judged for a crime... weren't you scared?"
Yemeng was momentarily stunned: scared?
I don't feel any strictness.
I was just embarrassed...
"No, I feel great. Besides, the stricter it is, the safer it'll be."
"Brother-in-law is right."
Fang Qingyun's heart was filled with trepidation. "I heard that the ones entering are all the top geniuses from the various great families. Don't worry, if anything happens, just find me!"
He made grand promises, but his heart was filled with worry.
With so many young masters from the great families, can I protect my sister-in-law well?
Just then, a group of people approached, their white clothes fluttering like clouds. It was the geniuses from the three great families—Wind, Rain, and Snow.
Each of them had sharp brows and starry eyes, walking with the grace of a dragon and the stride of a tiger. Among them were several women with stunning beauty and graceful figures.
As they walked, they seemed oblivious to others, who were pushed aside, some even falling over. But they didn't seem to care.
They carried themselves like the most arrogant young masters.
It was clear they were used to bullying others.
Seeing the direction they were heading, Fang Qingyun's heart tightened. He quickly stepped in front of Ye Meng, blocking her path, and frowned, "What are you trying to do?"
The leaders of the group looked at Fang Qingyun with curiosity, as if they didn't understand why this fool had suddenly blocked their way. They then bowed in unison, "Greetings, Big Sister-in-law! We pay our respects!"
"This time, Big Sister-in-law, please feel free to give us instructions. We won't hesitate, even if it means facing the trials of a knife mountain or a sea of fire!"
"Big Sister-in-law, it's me, it's me..."
They all greeted her.
Fang Qingyun was stunned.
The people around him were also stunned.
Who is this woman? She looks so intimidating!
The geniuses from the Wind, Rain, and Snow families are all calling her 'Big Sister-in-law'?
The leader had already turned around, his eyes coldly scanning the surroundings, exuding an air of authority. He said calmly, "I am Feng Dongdong!"
"I am Xue Wanren!"
"I am Yu Zhongkuang... Yu Zhongge."
"I am Xue..."
"I am Feng..."
"I am Yu..."
"I am..."
Then, they said in unison, "This is our Big Sister-in-law. We're introducing her to you all. Let's be clear, once we enter the training area, if anyone dares to cause trouble..."
Seventy or eighty people spoke in unison, "Don't blame us if we don't hold back!"
...
Fang Che had already begun his work in Donghu Continent.
There was one thing that greatly improved his mood.
It was a message from the Guardian Headquarters to Yang Luoyu.
"The killer organizations across the land have been decimated. The Faceless Tower has disappeared."
"The bounty offered by Fang Che is still out there, but no one is taking it."
"At least a third of the retired veteran killers, who have been in the business for many years, have also perished in this wave."
"The remaining killers... are all old-timers who have been in hiding for years and rarely take on jobs."
"In short, this wave has almost wiped out the killer world. It's unlikely that assassination requests will cause any ripples on the continent for the next few decades."
"Now, it's up to the Bi Family. If they don't make a move, you can focus on your own affairs in seven days."
This news left both Yang Luoyu and Dong Changfeng stunned.
According to the calculations of the entire world's high-level killers, we didn't kill that many, did we?
But when they recalled the number of mysterious deaths...
After seeing this intelligence, the two couldn't help but shiver.
"If the total number of killers in the world is one hundred thousand, then we must have killed around three to four thousand."
Dong Changfeng sighed, "The others were probably eliminated by some unknown force."
"The total number is definitely more than one hundred thousand, but even if we pushed ourselves to the limit, we only killed five thousand. The rest... have silently faded away in this world..."
Yang Luoyu's face turned pale.
Especially when he thought of Yixian Hong, who was hanging from a big tree, he felt even worse.
"I never imagined that this operation to hunt down Fang Tu would lead to such a result! It's as if the entire killer world has been hunted down..."
Yang Luoyu was filled with awe.
"I suspect this is a scheme orchestrated by the Ninth Lord. His goal was to lure out and eliminate these unstable elements in the world."
Dong Changfeng said.
Upon hearing this, Yang Luoyu suddenly realized.
After a long while, he finally understood, "You're right... this matter does seem like the Ninth Lord's doing... For him, this kind of operation is too... ordinary."
"With a wave of his hand, a million killers vanish without a trace, and there's not even a ripple... He's the best at taking advantage of the situation."
"In the blink of an eye, a million killers are gone. He's so smooth!"
"It's no wonder, the Ninth Lord is truly something else."
The two sighed endlessly.
Then, they both kept a close eye on the situation.
For several consecutive days, it was eerily calm, as if the killers had all turned over a new leaf overnight.
Not only were there no killers, but even martial artists were scarce.
Fang Che wandered in and out of the city, and everything was peaceful, with no incidents.
Suddenly, the world seemed at peace.
Seeing that there was indeed nothing happening, Yang Luoyu and Dong Changfeng bid farewell to Fang Che.
It was necessary to inform him, as they didn't want Fang Che to think they were still around, which might give him a false sense of security and inadvertently put him in danger.
As soon as the two of them turned to leave, Fang Che let out a sigh of relief, "You're leaving now? That's... too sudden, isn't it? Why not stay and play for a few more days..."
With these two around, Fang Che couldn't do anything.
The protection was too tight, and even the Night Demon and Star Mang didn't dare to make a move.
Fang Che had been holding it in for a long time.
The two of them glared at him, their faces darkening, "We can't stand the sight of you breathing a sigh of relief. After protecting you for so many days, all you do is show us disdain!"
"No, no, that's not it," Fang Che quickly put on a pained expression, "I'm actually very reluctant to see you go. Truly. Haha..."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Yang Luoyu and Dong Changfeng didn't even bother with words and directly tore through space to leave.
The reason they left was that they couldn't bear the look of relief on Fang Che's face.
Not beating him up on the spot was already a sign of great restraint from the two experts.
"Phew..."
Fang Che felt his breath become fresh, and his expression changed as if he had been constipated for three days and suddenly found relief, "They're finally gone..."
Slap!
An extremely high-quality spirit crystal flew out of thin air and hit him in the face.
"Thank you for the gift, seniors!"
Fang Che quickly thanked them and put the crystal away.
The two experts at the peak of the Cloud End, with black lines on their faces, left without looking back, reaching a distance of several hundred miles away.
"This kid is so shameless!"
Yang Luoyu scowled, "He should've become a disciple of the Sword Master."
However, Dong Changfeng had always held a good impression of Fang Che, "Actually, Fang Che is just a boy with a pure heart and a childlike innocence. He's genuine and not pretentious. That's the kind of youth we need."
Yang Luoyu looked at Dong Changfeng speechlessly, "Are you saying that Fang Che is your son? Look at how proud you are."
Dong Changfeng hummed and muttered, "I don't have such good fortune..."
Standing on the mountain, looking at the city of Donghu Continent, Dong Changfeng felt a bit worried, "Are the assassins really all gone? If there are more, and they come again..."
"..." Yang Luoyu was speechless.
"Let's go, let's go."
"Look at you, now you're talking like an old mother," Yang Luoyu said.
Dong Changfeng was pulled away.
Fang Che let out a sigh of relief.
Returning to his office, he saw Xiong Rushan leaning against the wall, bored and chatting with a beautiful female officer from the Enforcement Division.
Xiong Rushan was lively, his tall body leaning against the wall, striking a pose full of masculinity as he flirted with the young lady. When she tried to leave, the old man shook his mutton chops and blocked her way, laughing like a seal, acting like a total pervert.
It had to be said that since Xiong Rushan stepped down as the leader and handed the position to Fang Che, he had been letting loose.
Fang Che hummed and took out the communication jade, sending a message to the person on the other end, "Sis-in-law, Old Bear hasn't been acting right lately. He's been flirting with several young ladies here. Has he gone home these days?"
Then, with a serious face, he walked over, "What are you doing? Doing nothing, right? Xiong Rushan, listen up. For the next three nights, you'll take people to guard and patrol the South Mountain, covering a radius of five thousand miles. Search for the little sect leader of the Only Righteous Sect! I'm telling you, within three days, if you dare to show up in the city, I'll discipline you!"
After saying this, he left with a triumphant look.
Xiong Rushan's eyes widened, looking dazed, "What did I do?"
The woman he had blocked let out a snort and turned to leave.
Everyone was an old acquaintance, and who didn't know that Xiong Rushan was all talk and no action? Every time they saw him, with his blind-as-a-bat body, trying to imitate Fang Che's graceful posture, everyone wanted to laugh.
Many female experts would purposely walk past Old Bear just to see him strike that pose and have a good laugh.
Sure enough, Old Bear almost always fell for it.
That look of 'daring to look but not touch, wanting to take a few more glances but still pretending to be righteous' was so hilarious, and yet he thought he was hiding it so well...
Yin Guotang appeared, looking like a ghost.
"Old Bear, did the Chief scold you again?" His tone was somewhat gloating.
"It's normal."
Xiong Rushan hummed, "You know how the Chief can't stand idleness. I'm telling you, old ghost, the Chief, he's just missing his own workshop. If he had one, he'd probably suck the workers dry..."
"Hehe... The Chief is very tolerant towards me." Yin Guotang smiled coldly.
"You're like a ghost, he can't even see you, how can he be strict..."
Xiong Rushan was very indignant.
"Hehe, I just like to see you work. I heard you've been assigned three days and three nights?" Yin Guotang asked.
"None of your business!"
Xiong Rushan cursed without holding back.
Suddenly, his face tightened, and he took out the communication jade, "I've got to go... My wife is asking what I want to eat tonight, and she's going to make it."
Yin Guotang leaned in, "Your wife is so virtuous."
But when he saw the message on the communication jade, his expression changed, "Xiong Rushan, you bastard! You've been flirting with women these days instead of going home. Wait till you get home tonight, your wife will have a talk with you."
Yin Guotang's King Yama face instantly melted into spring, and he burst out laughing, "Hahaha... Your wife is indeed virtuous."
