Chapter 844: Chapter 197: Go Ahead and Do It—Ruin Them! (Part 3)
Fang Che inspected along the way, greeted warmly by voices.
Yet, the phenomenon of crowding in was truly absent.
Only the smiling faces around radiantly blossomed at Fang Che.
Ye Meng couldn’t help but feel proud and complicated in her heart.
Fang Che’s popularity was truly remarkable. The image he established truly resonated with the people’s hearts. I really don’t know, if one day his true identity is exposed, how many people in Baiyun State would be disappointed...
As they proceeded forward, Mr. Fang’s pale face stirred many people’s sympathy.
Behind them, there was a crowd sighing.
"Mr. Fang really works so hard. For Baiyun State, Mr. Fang has exerted so much effort... It’s said that this time, he got hurt while trying to eliminate the Great Demon of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect... Alas..."
"The most admirable thing is Mr. Fang’s kind heart. Do you know, how many times during disasters, Mr. Fang has paid out of his own pocket? One day during a severe snowstorm... my neighbor saw Mr. Fang early in the morning, walking along, throwing Silver into the homes of some impoverished families... Mr. Fang does good deeds without wanting people to know... This is true charity."
"Yes, if there were more people like Mr. Fang in this world, it would be at peace."
"Those damned Demons, how can they lay a hand on a good person like Mr. Fang... Every time Mr. Fang gets a scratch, my heart aches for ages..."
"Exactly, I pray day and night for Mr. Fang’s safety and longevity."
"Me too, me too. As long as Mr. Fang is around for a day, Baiyun State is safe for a day."
Fang Che walked along the street, with remarkable patience.
Ye Meng’s exceptional beauty naturally sparked a lot of discussion; however, since she was Mr. Fang’s wife, everyone was respectful. Even when discussing behind her back, there was nothing unpleasant said.
They said things like "The madam is truly fortunate to follow Mr. Fang" ’Only such a beauty is worthy of Mr. Fang’ ’She looks so virtuous’... and so on.
Ahead, a dozen people, dressed in black, walked with vigorous strides; they were the Guardians of the Great Hall.
The leader was Yun Jianqiu. Upon seeing Mr. Fang, everyone rejoiced at once and rushed over to encircle Fang Che, warmly and eagerly.
"At last, you’re well. These past days worried us sick. The higher-ups were afraid we’d rush over in a horde and disturb Mr. Fang’s rest, so they imposed a curfew... Oh, it was killing us with anxiety."
"Great, Mr. Fang, when can you return to duty at the Guardian Hall?"
"Pah, pah, pah, what are you saying? Let Mr. Fang rest for a few more days!"
Jing Xiuyun stepped forward: "Mr. Fang, how is Ying’er now? Is there any news?"
"I heard that the treatment is going smoothly, there’s no issue. But recovery will take some time."
"That’s good, that’s good." Jing Xiuyun sighed with relief and smiled.
"By the way, aren’t you guys patrolling North City? Why did you come here?" Fang Che asked in surprise.
"North City is still within our patrol range, but recently, something big happened here, so brothers who are idle just come around here a few times." Yun Jianqiu laughed heartily and explained.
"Something big?" Fang Che frowned with a smile that was not a smile: "There’s actually something big here? Jianqiu, you’re not reporting this? That’s a bit of a dereliction, isn’t it?"
Yun Jianqiu was startled at once and, ingratiatingly, said: "It’s just that Mr. Fang, you were recuperating, and we were afraid your strong sense of responsibility might lead to curiosity... delaying your recovery."
"And now?" Fang Che tilted his head.
"Now, of course, is to report truthfully..." Yun Jianqiu chuckled, moved closer to whisper: "I don’t know how, the envoy of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, Feng Yun, came... Then the Young Master of the Heavenly Palace, it’s said, also came, then there’s the Underworld, the Netherworld Palace, etc... Even our Hanjian Mountain Sect’s young generation leader came... It’s like a complete sweep of all the Outer World Mountain Sect’s younger core disciples..."
Yun Jianqiu was reporting.
He didn’t even notice, as Mr. Fang listened to the words "a complete sweep," a flash of gleam suddenly glimmered in his eyes.
"So lively?"
Fang Che smiled, seemingly nonchalant, laughing: "Then we shouldn’t be too busy. After all, with these people together, they wouldn’t have the time to think about us Guardians, would they?"
"Mr. Fang is right, but after all, the visitors are guests. Besides, these Outer World Mountain Sect people came this time, surprisingly all having made greetings with our Guardian Hall, so there’s legitimacy."
"Since they’re upfront and open guests, we naturally have the duty to protect them. This aspect, Mr. Fang knows." Yun Jianqiu said.
"Then even those from the Wei Wo Zheng Sect need to be protected?"
"Of course, Feng Yun didn’t report to our Guardian Hall this time but made greetings with the higher-ups and got permission to come. So he’s considered a state guest; since it’s state guest treatment, naturally there’s a protection obligation. At least within our jurisdiction, there shouldn’t be safety issues."
Yun Jianqiu apparently supplemented his knowledge on this subject, speaking logically and clearly.
Fang Che nodded in agreement.
Some might not understand why there should be such protection for the opposing side. But think of when the Qidan envoy came to Beisong, and the national correspondence...
"It’s truly lively."
Fang Che sighed, saying: "It’s been a long time since Baiyun State was this lively. This time, it’s indeed a bit unexpected, what’s the reason that made these Heaven’s Chosen Son all pick Baiyun State?"
This question stumped Yun Jianqiu immediately. After being stunned for a while, he said: "This I really don’t know."
