"I see."
The waiter nearby overheard and said with a smile, "We have so San Chuan Jade on the counter over there. If you gentlen are interested, feel free to pick out a piece to play with later."
Old Man Shen said, "Do I look like a rich person to you?"
The waiter bowed and said apologetically, "I misspoke."
Everyone laughed.
Fang Che asked Ye ng, "What do you think? Should we go have a look?"
Ye ng pursed her lips, "Let’s take care of business first."
Then, lowering her voice, she said, "You frightened so many people outside the city. This is their territory; surely soone will co looking for trouble. We need to be cautious."
Fang Che whispered, "What should we do then? Do we just leave such people alone?"
An angry look appeared on Ye ng’s slightly chubby face. As a woman, she had even more disdain for such wastrels. Especially thinking about how skilled and blatant they are in their acts, it was clear they often did this.
Who knows how many couples they’ve bullied into breaking up? She could empathize with the victims.
She said, "You can tell these people do this all the ti and have succeeded before. Otherwise, they couldn’t be so smooth and unscrupulous. They’re clearly no good. You did well."
"For a woman, the most terrifying is not demons or peak masters. Death is death, nothing major. But the most frightening are such scum. Because once you encounter them, not even a clean death... is possible."
"That’s why I showed no rcy."
Fang Che said calmly, "I also want to root them out completely."
"Not necessarily. Their families might not retaliate."
Ye ng saw clearly: "General An announced his na before leaving. As long as they’re not foolish, they’ll investigate; once they find out it’s the Deputy Chief of the Guardian Southeast Headquarters, even in Sanchuan City, few families would dare retaliate."
Fang Che snorted, "Too bad I can’t deal with them personally!"
Ye ng was a bit confused.
Can’t deal with them personally, what does that an?
...
Headquarters.
The first candidate for Southeast Headquarters has been submitted.
Dongfang Sansan already reviewed the list.
With a heavy face, seemingly emotionless.
He felt a bit relieved, finally able to put his mind at ease.
Fang Che indeed earned the qualification.
That’s excellent!
Next, it’s ti to send a real gift to Yan Nan. Thinking about his arrangents and Fang Che’s efforts, it seed everything was headed in a good direction, which made Dongfang Sansan feel a bit cheerful.
His happy habit was to stroll around the Guardian Hall.
People in the Guardian Hall also looked forward to him visiting.
The Ninth Lord was truly exhausted.
With the whole world on his shoulders, balancing heaven and earth on them.
Every ti he ca out with a smile, everyone genuinely felt happy from the bottom of their hearts.
They wished he could co out smiling every day.
This area was the Guardian’s territory, where talents from all over were coming to Kan Ke City for competitions, with security heightened several tis compared to before.
Intelligence reports were coming in like snowfall, endlessly.
Step by step, they were being compiled.
So minor ones were handled on the spot, while those with unknown outcos were passed to higher authorities.
Various pieces of intelligence flew back and forth, handled instantly with precision.
"Sothing happened in the Southeast. Ten family scions were yelled into idiots, including people from the Zhu, Liu, and Yin families."
A female steward sifting through Southeast intelligence gasped in surprise.
She couldn’t help but glance around.
Because the ancestors of these three families were currently serving at the Guardian Headquarters.
"Hmm?"
Dongfang Sansan, hands clasped behind his back, imdiately turned his head.
Yelled into idiots?
Dongfang Sansan imdiately thought of Xue Wanshi and, with the news coming from the Southeast... his heart stirred.
As he turned his head, the entire hall fell silent: Did the Ninth Lord notice sothing?
"Sothing happened in the Southeast? What is it?"
Dongfang Sansan asked.
"It’s like this, a sort of laughing-stock incident."
The female steward clearly treated it as a joke, sothing to tell the Ninth Lord. Making him laugh would be a grand achievent.
"Just earlier, while Southeast Headquarters’ Chief Zhao Shanhe and Deputy Chief An Ruoxing were leading seed competitors for the selection, the top-ranked King level Fang Che brought his new wife along. She was exceptionally beautiful, but outside Sanchuan City, they encountered a few wastrels from the Zhu and Liu families. Seeing Steward Fang’s wife was pretty, they went to flirt, but Steward Fang was not to be trifled with, yelling so loud he turned ten noblen into idiots. Hehe, they truly got what they deserved."
Listening, Dongfang Sansan’s brows furrowed tightly.
By the end, his face darkened slightly.
The entire hall beca silent; could a pin drop. Was the Ninth Lord angry?
Dongfang Sansan’s expression turned grim.
Ye ng was harassed?
This is truly... She’s given everything for the continent, and wastrels dare to harass his wife? And right under Kan Ke City’s walls?
Dongfang Sansan took a deep breath.
With a determined face, he said, "What else does the report say?"
"There’s another line."
"What line?"
"After Steward Fang yelled, he announced his na to the remaining people, saying he’s Fang Che from Baiyun State Guardian Hall."
"And this line, he said: ...Through life and death, not for protecting such people... found them, just clear them out...."
The intelligence was very detailed.
Perfectly recreating the situation at the ti.
