Scribble scribble scribble...
The sound of writing.
"Question one hundred..."
Fang Che finished reading it out loud.
He took a sip of tea.
Then stood up with his hands clasped behind his back, starting to personally and earnestly supervise the exam.
Pacing back and forth!
Below, the little demons have already started answering questions.
According to the Starlight Master’s requirents, you have to first write the question: Question one: ...
Then below, write: Answer: ...
Formatting errors will result in point deductions.
Ti passed little by little.
Soone was already getting restless, as if there were nails under their buttocks.
But they didn’t dare to turn their heads.
In such cold weather, taking an outdoor exam, so people actually had steam rising from their heads.
The exam ti of one hour passed quickly.
A wail of lantation arose.
Obviously, quite a few guys didn’t do so well.
A thick stack of exam papers was collected.
Fang Che directly assigned the task: "Zhou i’er, Wu Lianlian... You eight girls will grade them. Mmm, don’t betray my trust, okay..."
"Thank you, Squad Leader, for your trust."
Zhou i’er and the others were quite delighted.
This was a little perk!
If their own paper had any typos, or was missing a word or two, they could overlook it; of course, they had to be strict with everyone else, or the Squad Leader would not be pleased.
The girls moved quickly!
All the exam papers were reviewed and scored.
They handed them over to Fang Che.
Each person had a relaxed smile on their faces, clearly having seen their own score and knowing they wouldn’t be beaten or expelled.
Their mood was quite pleasant.
"Gather!"
Fang Che looked at the dozens of faces below, so expectant, so dejected, so anxious, and so shivering.
He smiled and said, "The first exam is over. Now, the reward and punishnt asures, did everyone rember them?"
"We rembered."
"Mmm, now let’s announce the scores."
Fang Che opened it and read: "Zhao Wushang, one hundred points!"
"Ahhh!!!"
Zhao Wushang couldn’t help but jump up, frantically waving his hands.
He danced up to receive his test paper, tears brimming in his eyes.
"Zheng Yunqi, ninety-nine points."
Zheng Yunqi also stood up and said steadily, "Thank you, Squad Leader."
He went forward to get his paper.
It must be said, they all did quite well; over ten people scored above ninety-five points.
Then there were scores in the nineties, eighties, seventies...
Mostly they passed.
When it ca to the last test paper, everyone suddenly fell silent.
"Jiang Wenwu!"
Fang Che’s face turned cold.
No one responded.
"Jiang Wenwu!" Fang Che shouted angrily.
Finally, a tall, skinny guy with a face full of bumps stood up, trembling, "...Squad Leader, my na is Jiang Bin."
"Jiang Bin?"
Fang Che paused, looked down at the exam paper, and shouted angrily: "The na you wrote yourself, is this Bin? I’m already doing well to recognize it as Wenwu! Co and see it yourself, writing it so separately! Is this how your family writes characters?"
Jiang Bin was almost crying: "Squad Leader... Squad Leader, I..."
"Fifty-seven points!"
"Look at your score, truly disgraceful to your ancestors!"
Fang Che shouted angrily; "ssy handwriting, split words, deduct two more points for the neatness of the paper, final score, fifty-five points!"
Jiang Bin was as if his parents had died, looking pitiful.
"Zhao Wubai!"
"Present!"
"According to the rules, how should he be punished?"
"Below sixty points, twenty lashes! Fifty-eight, thirty, fifty-seven, forty, and for fifty-five... sixty lashes!"
Fang Che nodded, saying: "It’s just the right number of lashes for a passing score, not bad. See that tree? Seal his cultivation, strip him and hang him up! Zhao Wubai, you carry out the sentence!"
"What?"
"What do you an, what? If you don’t carry out the sentence thoroughly, you will share in his guilt!"
"Everyone else, gather to observe the punishnt! And count the lashes together! If you count wrong, we start the whipping over from the beginning!"
Jiang Bin almost wet himself, nearly kneeling to everyone, pleading: "Everyone... please don’t count wrong..."
In a mont, a naked pig was hung up.
Exposing underarm hair like a black brush.
With a snap, a new whip cracked in the air.
Zhao Wubai revealed an executioner’s smile, spat on his palm, "Everyone, let’s begin."
"Zhao Wubai!"
Jiang Bin, hanging there, shouted: "Hit the right spot..."
Zhao Wubai swung his whip: "Shut up!"
And then!
"Snap!"
"Ah!"
"Snap!"
"Ah ah!"
"Snap!"
"Ah ah ah..."
The sixty lashes were completed.
Three new willow bark whips had already broken.
Jiang Bin was taken down with a pale face, and as soon as his buttocks touched the ground, he sprang up with a yowl like touching an electric shock, both hands covering his butt, looking like he was in unbearable pain.
"First ti, we’re allowing the use of willow whips, but next ti, use leather whips. The third ti, use iron whips, and for the final exam, those who fail, use the Poison Dragon Whip!"
Fang Che ordered coldly.
The forty-two people collectively shuddered.
Anything else was manageable, but the Poison Dragon Whip was known to everyone. No human could withstand that!
If the heart was wicked, a few lashes could even draw out the intestines!
"Alright, co down."
Fang Che announced Zhao Wushang and Zheng Yunqi as temporary leaders of two small teams, with others having to wait for the next exam selection since no one else scored above ninety-eight.
The original plan was to have five small teams; now, there would be just two large ones.
"Sit down."
Fang Che said: "Let check your outfit changes."
Everyone sat obediently, and Jiang Bin also behaved, standing in a horse stance above his own seat.
No choice... his butt was ruined.
Fang Che checked around, nodded secretly, finding that this bunch had good execution; after being pointed out yesterday, they had already adapted.
Moreover, even their deanor and expressions had changed considerably.
Of course, Fang Che didn’t realize that most of these changes were because he had scared them...
"Now we enter a prolonged state of infiltration, needing legitimate work."
Fang Che said: "Although the Yixin Sect’s Baiyun State sub branch has been established, what exactly to do next is still unplanned. We can brainstorm together and think about it."
Fang Che encouraged: "You’re all talents too; in the future, you’ll need to hold your own. In such an unfamiliar environnt, learning how to infiltrate and develop without attracting attention, while remaining legitimate and reasonable, is sothing you’ll have to go through."
"It’s beneficial for your future developnt as well."
"Start thinking."
So everyone began to think hard.
This is truly a matter of personal interest.
The job they co up with is what they’ll be doing shortly. Who wouldn’t want to choose a more relaxed, highly concealed, legal, and secure job?
So this ti, they were extrely serious.
"Squad Leader, how about an Escort Agency? We can use this place as a base and start an Escort Agency?"
Jiang Bin asked, clutching his butt.
"Escort Agency..."
Fang Che frowned, "An Escort Agency... it’s possible... it’s one direction."
He recalled Qiao Yishu’s Escort Agency.
Suddenly felt this idea wasn’t bad.
"What do you all think?"
The others also felt that this way, they wouldn’t have to go out looking for work; recruits could be hired right at ho, safe!
So they all chid in.
Fang Che frowned, paced back and forth, "An Escort Agency is not impossible... but damn it, I just don’t trust you all. What if you see good goods, or find it troubleso and kill people halfway, claiming the goods for yourselves, damn it, being reported to the Guardian Hall, then tracked down here, it’s just a matter of ti."
Zhao Wushang furrowed his brow, "Squad Leader, we can operate fully legally, run the Escort Agency in its proper form, how could we kill people ourselves? Even if we returned, you wouldn’t forgive us, Squad Leader."
"Who would know if you didn’t say anything?"
Fang Che glared at him, "My trust in you is basically zero. So I think it’s still more reliable if each of you finds work separately..."
Several people swore firmly never to do such a thing.
They all saw that it seed like the Squad Leader didn’t want to start an Escort Agency, and more clearly wanted to send them out.
But.... it’s so tough for everyone to find a job out there!
So collectively they pleaded.
"Unless you swear an oath to the Celestial Worm God. During the ti in Baiyun State, while working at the Escort Agency, be a law-abiding citizen."
Fang Che squinted, speaking blandly: "Otherwise, I won’t trust you, and I don’t even know how to take on the Chief Escort role. Yesterday, I was just a house guard, and today I’m a Chief Escort. Damn, the promotion is a bit too much."
House guard?
Everyone was collectively chilled.
Truly admired, what kind of formidable figure dared to use soone like the Starlight Master as a house guard?
This family’s nerves were big enough to move heaven and earth!
But they were genuinely impressed.
If even soone like the Starlight Master had to be honest in Baiyun State, why would we not be?
"I swear to the Celestial Worm God! During the ti in Baiyun State, while working at the Escort Agency, I will be a law-abiding citizen!"
Zhao Wushang resolutely began to swear.
Soon others also began to swear.
They absolutely had to make the Starlight Master abandon the idea of kicking them out!
Fang Che pulled a long face, furrowed his brows, pacing back and forth.
"Escort Agency...Escort Agency...sigh... Escort Agency... always feels not so right."
A look of indecision.
"Squad Leader..."
Zhou ii said: "Look, if you beco the Chief Escort, won’t you also avoid pleasing others? In our own place, isn’t it entirely up to you? Earlier, when there were no people, you had no choice but to do it; now, we have people, why continue to wrong yourself?"
"Yes, Squad Leader, please consider."
"But what about your identities?"
Fang Che spread his hands: "Suddenly erging so many highly skilled escort masters and heads of the escort? Where am I supposed to get you your identities from?"
"We have our own ways, just say we’re senior brothers and sisters coming down from the Sect for worldly experience. These things happen all over the Continent."
Zhao Wushang said.
This small matter naturally wouldn’t trouble the Shi family’s son.
