Chapter 840: Chapter 196: When One Door Closes, Another Opens (Part 4)
"Suspended? What happened?"
Yin Shen Palace was stunned. How could he be suspended after such a great achievement?
"I don’t know."
Fang Che replied honestly, "Everything was fine, I have no idea why I was suspended, it’s puzzling. And just when I woke up, Yan Jun Di and Yang Luoyu came to see me personally to question me. I got the feeling they were investigating me."
Yin Shen Palace was immediately tense, "What did they ask you?"
"First, they asked about Senior Mengmo entering my sea of consciousness, and if I remembered anything; but I honestly remembered nothing, just passed out until now, still rummaging through the sea of consciousness with no findings."
Fang Che continued, "Then they asked about my master Sun Yuan, and the events involving the Su Family in Bibo City, and several other matters following that, including my disaster relief efforts, and the event I funded at the Guardian Hall, and about my provocation of the Heavenly Palace back then, they went through everything."
In reality, most of these questions were not asked by Yang Luoyu.
But that didn’t stop Fang Che from using it as an excuse.
"I have a really bad feeling, Master, lately, there’s no channel for me to get any news from the sect’s side at all. Did they do something about my identity?"
Fang Che asked, "Like my identity as Yemo or something else? I just feel this investigation is too pointed. Plus, for Yan Jun Di to come personally, that’s quite unusual."
Finally, Fang Che pleaded, "Master, maybe I should just go back; our sect is so big, surely it doesn’t lack me, an undercover... It’s just too frustrating, why not just admit it? I am the only I am the Righteous Demon, what can they do about it?"
Fang Che was complaining, reporting, and venting here.
While Yin Shen Palace read over Fang Che’s message, constantly thinking.
Connecting it to Feng Yun’s investigation into Yemo, he couldn’t help but sigh internally.
It seems Feng Yun’s actions have aroused suspicion about Yemo on the other side? The more Yin Shen Palace thought, the more possible it seemed.
But this matter was above his pay grade, Yin Shen Palace didn’t have the authority to decide.
Seeing Yemo’s current dejected state, Yin Shen Palace felt his heart ache, but heartache was one thing, Yemo wanting to quit was not okay!
You weren’t sent as an undercover by me in the first place.
But by Vice Sect Master Yan.
So what use is it if you return to Yixin Sect?
He immediately replied, "It’s nothing serious, according to my intel, the Southeast Headquarters is impressed by your achievements and wants to promote you, it’s just that your qualifications are still shallow, so an investigation is needed. Plus, indeed, your past actions were a bit improper, but don’t worry, once you get through this hurdle, you’ll be fine!"
"Besides, with your current physical condition, it’s a good time to recuperate. Without a healthy body, you can’t do anything. Just settle down and rest for a few days. Not happy being idle?"
Fang Che sighed, "If after this time, there’s still no news, what then?"
Yin Shen Palace snorted and said, "If the Guardian doesn’t promote you, surely Yixin Sect will. Rest assured, I hereby appoint you as the Chief Inspector of Yixin Sect!"
Yin Shen Palace was thinking of the Southeast Guardian Headquarters’ proposed new position for Fang Che: Apprentice Patrol Envoy.
If he could get through this wave, Fang Che would get this position.
Thus, appointing himself as the Chief Inspector, a position that perfectly overlaps.
Besides, appointing a Chief Inspector carried a certain prestige.
If the Apprentice Patrol Envoy didn’t get approved, no matter, just let Yemo serve as Yixin Sect’s Chief Inspector in Baiyun State.
Reasonable!
After all, Yemo had achieved a lot recently, and it was time for a promotion.
Suddenly invigorated, Fang Che asked, "Master, what kind of position is Chief Inspector? Is it roughly on par with a Hall Master in power?"
"Look at your limited aspirations! Chief Inspector, the position is already higher than a Hall Master. Basically, outside of the Sect Leader and Vice Sect Hierarch, it’s the Chief Inspector. It’s the third-in-command. But our Yixin Sect doesn’t have a Vice Sect Hierarch right now, so you’re effectively the number two. High position, great power!"
Yin Shen Palace exaggerated to cheer up his disciple.
Fang Che seized the opportunity, "Wow, that’s amazing! Master, if I get promoted again, wouldn’t I become the Sect Leader?"
Damn it!
Yin Shen Palace cursed and replied, "If you really want it, Master can step down now and let you be the Sect Leader, look at you, getting all excited over being the leader of a sub-sect?"
"No, no, haha, Master was joking, I was just saying, even if I had heaven as my backing, I wouldn’t dare to snatch Master’s position, being a puppet Sect Leader is less appealing than being a Leader... Sitting on the Sect Leader’s throne, getting slapped around by you all day, what’s there to show off..."
Fang Che chuckled, "Besides, I’m just a Chief Inspector, even if I get promoted, it’ll only be to Vice Sect Hierarch, still one level away from the Sect Leader. I kind of forgot just now..."
Yin Shen Palace almost laughed with exasperation.
This kidda fool really does have such a plan?
"With your current puny cultivation level, you’re thinking that far ahead? Get lost, focus on recovering!"
"Yes, yes, Master, I’m going... ahem, and about the Starlight Master, um, being just a Master is a bit low... maybe Starlight could get a promotion as well?"
