"Hatred should be buried in your heart every day! Before you can take certain revenge, you must never reveal it. When you finally strike down your enemy, you’ll even feel your entire heart is transcending!"
"Master, I will rember this."
"Besides, regarding your position, your Second Master and I have discussed it."
Yin Shen Palace said, "Our idea is for you to first establish the Baiyun State branch, and assu the position of Branch Leader."
So high?
Fang Che was shocked.
Skipping directly over the incense hall and becoming the Branch Leader in one step?
"Secretly establish the Baiyun State branch. You’ll oversee the big picture. The Baiyun State branch won’t be included in the Yixin Sect’s rit system and will report directly to . Otherwise, it would be a significant trouble if your identity were exposed."
Yin Shen Palace said.
Fang Che said, "Branch Leader... disciple has never done it, no experience. The disciple hasn’t even led for a single day, yet you’re asking to be a Branch Leader, isn’t that too fast?"
Yin Shen Palace laughed heartily and jokingly said, "Steward Fang, you’re too modest."
"Master, you’re teasing !"
Yin Shen Palace could already imagine Yemo blushing on the other side and couldn’t help but laugh heartily for a while.
He said, "It’s decided."
"But disciple doesn’t have anyone at hand."
"Your Second Master will soon give you a list of the remaining forces in Baiyun State under our control. Also, you can freely use the student seed resources at Baiyun Martial Academy."
Yin Shen Palace said.
Fang Che said, "Disciple doesn’t trust them. This group of people, each one is likely to have already beco bait for the Guardians."
Yin Shen Palace said, "Then that just becos your achievent, Steward Fang."
Fang Che: "Master you’re joking, even if I sold out all my people, I would still be a Branch Leader without any real power... what’s the use."
Yin Shen Palace said angrily, "Those people, including the seeds in Baiyun Martial Academy, are all Ren Zhongyuan’s people."
"Disciple understands."
Fang Che further asked, "Master, what are the main duties of a Branch Leader?"
Yin Shen Palace said, "First, lay low. Second, generate inco through various ans and pay the sect; after all, maintaining such a large sect, the headquarters have no inco sources, so collecting money from below is indispensable; third, accept all kinds of missions from superiors at any ti, such as assassinations, sabotage, turmoil. Or welco and assist when the superiors visit. Fourth, entice or recruit people on normal days. Fifth, guard various shops against being swallowed by other sects. Sixth, protect each territory from being encroached upon. From what I know, Heavenly God Yemo San Sheng Mingguang, etc., are preparing to establish a new Baiyun State branch. You can handle this as you see fit..."
"Disciple understands. But Master, there is a question, if we do it this way, this secret branch will no longer be a secret. An investigation would instead expose it."
Yin Shen Palace was montarily stunned: Oh, that’s true.
So he asked, "What do you think?"
Fang Che said, "Disciple will blatantly establish the branch, but not under Yemo’s na, just change the na. To outsiders, it will be said that Yemo was sent by you for training."
"Great idea!"
Yin Shen Palace slapped his thigh.
This way it can be directly included in the Yixin Sect system, placed openly, and withstand any investigation.
And with Yemo possessing mastery in Phantom Bones, Shifting Forms, nothing would be revealed.
"What na should we choose?" Yin Shen Palace frowned, pondering.
Fang Che said, "How about ’First Demon,’ Master?"
"Get lost!"
Yin Shen Palace exclaid angrily.
You damn ambitious one!
After thinking a bit, he said, "Let’s call it... Starlight."
He stood by the window, gazing at the brightest star in the night sky, radiating starlight far and wide.
His eyes flashed with a hint of wistful sentint, "The new na, Starlight."
"Starlight, sounds nice!"
Fang Che imdiately accepted it.
In fact, whatever na Yin Shen Palace chose, he would accept it and praise it.
Even if it was dogshit!
It doesn’t matter.
The worse the na, the closer he felt to Yin Shen Palace.
Little did he know Yin Shen Palace was staring at the words Starlight, lost in thought.
If one day I die, may I turn into starlight to illuminate your path.
Sigh...
Yin Shen Palace sighed wistfully, his expression conflicted.
Full of sorrow.
"I only hope that this Starlight can replace your starlight, truly illuminating my path. Ruochen!"
...
Fang Che had a good night’s sleep.
In the morning, he got up, accompanied by Sun Yuan’s sword and complete skeletal remains, including the head.
He went on duty at the Guardian Hall.
Ye ng continued diligent cultivation at ho.
Ye ng currently feels idle, so he’s only practicing to pass the ti. As a result, his progress is swift!
Fang Che made his way to the Steward Hall of the Guardian Hall, where Tang Zheng had already arrived.
Seeing Fang Che, Tang Zheng’s eyes were sowhat evasive.
As if he had done sothing guilty of conscience.
"What’s the matter?" Fang Che asked.
"N-nothing." Tang Zheng avoided eye contact, lowering his head.
As it turned out, he went to report Fang Che after returning yesterday, saying Fang Che had privately dealt with the heads on the city wall and even pocketed the sword.
Then Fan Tiantiao found out and scolded Tang Zheng, "Mind your own business!"
Tang Zheng never imagined he’d get reprimanded for reporting corruption, leaving him utterly bewildered.
Then his brother-in-law also scolded him, "Behave yourself! Do your duties! If you can’t handle it, leave!"
He felt even more aggrieved.
Fan Tiantiao specifically went to find the War Hall Master, warning him, "Your brother-in-law is now working under Steward Fang. Fang’s temperant isn’t good, and he’s got so backing. If he sses up and gets killed by Fang, you’re not going to turn the tide."
The War Hall Master was startled.
Imdiately, he warned his brother-in-law.
Fang Che had just sat down not long before.
The War Hall Master ca; "This must be Steward Fang, indeed young and promising."
"And you are?"
"I am Yuan Jingjiang, the War Hall Master. Haha, my brother-in-law works under you, so I’ve co to visit."
Yuan Jingjiang chuckled heartily, very enthusiastic, "I look forward to your guidance, Steward Fang."
"Oh, I’m not good at taking care of people. If you want soone to look after your brother-in-law, why not assign him to soone else?"
Fang Che put on a look of soone with a massive backing not giving a damn about others.
Yuan Jingjiang was imdiately at a loss for words.
As the saying goes, one doesn’t hit a smiling person.
Despite my much higher rank, I personally ca to show a friendly face yet got cold-shouldered.
This kid really doesn’t know how to behave!
Fang Che stood up with a cold face and said, "Tang Zheng! Follow on patrol! Do you think having your brother-in-law here ans you don’t have to work? Get over here! Move!"
He casually took a large cloak and threw it over his shoulders, "Master Yuan, please wait, I’m on official duty and cannot stay long."
He nodded and left.
Tang Zheng pleaded with his brother-in-law with his eyes before finally lowering his head and following Fang Che.
Yuan Jingjiang felt a surge of anger in his chest, his face flushing purple, unable to breathe smoothly.
Standing at the door of the Steward Hall.
It felt as if his face had fallen to the ground, trampled into eight pieces.
After a while, he caught his breath, asking darkly, "This Steward Fang... what is his background? Does anyone know?"
The stewards in the hall exchanged glances, "No idea, and if we do know, it’s not necessarily true."
"Damn it..."
Yuan Jingjiang almost spat blood and said, "Where did this reckless fool co from? I just ca for a courtesy call... almost had my ancestor’s grave overturned!"
"Master Yuan, this is considered good. Yesterday, on his first day here, this guy beat up more than thirty people in the Steward Hall."
Soone tried to diate. It was Ren Chang.
"Where did this rash person co from, not understanding human relations at all? Damn it, where’s my dignity supposed to go?"
Yuan Jingjiang was sullen.
The crowd was silent.
They all kept to their own tasks.
Thinking that if he put on the air of a Hall Master to back his brother-in-law, anyone without a backing naturally should make friends with him. All things would follow naturally.
But for those with solid support, who would buy into this?
Isn’t it clear the character of your brother-in-law?
With Innate Grandmaster cultivation yet still afraid to step out and only doing odd jobs in the Steward Hall—running the mont an enemy shouted...
Are you even embarrassed to make social gestures for him...
Who else would we vent on?
Yuan Jingjiang with a loss of face, grumbled and left.
Only then did the crowd start gossiping.
"This guy really has guts; it’s the first ti in my life seeing such a sacred person."
"He must have so backing, didn’t you see even Vice Hall Master Fan had to speak politely?"
"Having connections and background is really impressive!" soone comnted sarcastically.
Imdiately, soone retorted back, "If you have the capability, strengthen your connections and background. Why be sarcastic? Did you not choose well when being born?!"
"And you’re born well! Your father a pig slaughterer!"
"So what if my father was a pig slaughterer? At least my family had enough food, and I fought my way to success. What’s the problem? You damn, your dad got cheated on..."
"You damn fool, courting death..."
Imdiately, the two started brawling.
Causing several female stewards to scream in surprise.
...
Fang Che took Tang Zheng, exiting the South City Gate.
All the way, Fang Che berated Tang Zheng coldly.
"Called your brother-in-law? To scare ?"
"Look at your damn courage."
"What about your brother-in-law?"
"Hall Master, tsk tsk, how impressive."
"Terrifying!"
"See that cesspool ahead? If you’re not obedient, I’ll dunk you in there to drown your damn brother-in-law!"
"Keep up!"
Fang Che showed no rcy.
I’ve got the entire Wei Wo Zheng Sect as my backing, afraid of these connections people??
Reaching the South Gate, Fang Che instructed, "Maintain order here as I did yesterday, I’ll check later. If it’s not up to par, I’ll beat you to death!"
"Where... where are you going?"
Pah!
One slap turned Tang Zheng halfway around.
Steward Fang glared:
"Where I’m going is none of your business!"
Fang Che portrayed the role of soone ’irritable, reckless, disrespectful, unpredictable, sharp and unrestrained’ to perfection.
Ever since arriving at the Guardian Hall, he knew he couldn’t take the usual path.
Otherwise.
Going by the book, his role as an undercover would beco increasingly worthless.
Therefore, from the very start, he decided how he would act.
Taking an unconventional path.
