Chapter 859: Chapter 201: What Is Fang Che Up To? (3)
So on this journey of hers, although it seemed like she was leisurely traveling through the Jianghu, her heart was tense every single moment.
Duan Xiyang personally scoring her is certainly a rare honor. But the score from this Chief is extremely harsh!
It’s very difficult to achieve!
Even Yan Beihan didn’t dare to be careless in the slightest.
"It’s actually not a perfect score." Aunt Hong laughed softly.
"I couldn’t see through Fang Che’s intentions, so it’s not a perfect score."
Yan Beihan sighed.
...
Just as Yan Beihan couldn’t see through Fang Che’s intentions, neither could Feng Yun, nor could anyone else among the thirteen sects under the Four Seas and Eight Desolates Tower.
However, in reality...
Even Fang Che himself didn’t know what his intentions were.
While he indeed stirred things up, he wasn’t sure how things would develop next.
He only knew one thing: these people gathering must have a purpose!
And before he came, they had already started their meeting without involving a Guardian.
This is unacceptable!
So Fang Che decided to create a commotion first, stirring up animosity, and then find an excuse for himself to stay.
No matter what, he couldn’t allow these people to achieve their goals here all smooth and unimpeded!
That is Fang Che’s intention.
As for which direction things should go in the future, that’s for the future to decide.
No matter what I do, the Ninth Lord will surely support me.
This time coming here was a task assigned by Vice Sect Master Yan.
So Fang Che felt assured.
I can either advance or retreat, no matter what I do, as long as I don’t die, nothing will happen.
Ye Meng was registering, writing swiftly.
People from the Ziyi Palace lined up one after another to register.
When a few female disciples from Ziyi Palace came up to register, they had very aggrieved looks, their eyes accusingly looking at Fang Che, complaining, "Brother Fang, you’re not giving us any face at all."
These were female disciples who had once appeared in the martial arts competition between good and evil among the younger generation, and had been coached by Fang Che before.
Now, their hearts were full of grievances. How could Brother Fang, who was so good back then, become like this now?
Fang Che smiled apologetically and said, "Please don’t blame me, junior sisters, this is something beyond my control. I am also following orders. After all, your Outer World Mountain Sect has its own dignity to maintain, but I also have the rules of a Guardian to follow."
"When the two come into conflict, there’s nothing I can do. After all, if you return, everything will be fine, and nothing will happen. But for me... it’s not like being under one sect, where making mistakes doesn’t matter much. I have a merit assessment to worry about."
Fang Che said gently, "Junior sisters, do you think mingling in the Guardian field is as easy as in your sects?"
"Besides... among so many sects, none made a sound. Which of the Heavenly Palace, Underworld, and Netherworld Palace isn’t strong? Did they make any noise? So why was your Ziyi Palace the first to leap out? Think about it for me, if you leap out, and I fail to complete the task and leave, wouldn’t our Guardian’s face be lost by me completely? And what would happen to me then? Right, isn’t that the reason? So no matter what, I need to do this properly."
Fang Che sighed, "Junior sister, it’s not that I’m being difficult, but... today’s events, I was indeed forced up by your Ziyi Palace. Yet you come to tell me you’re aggrieved... sigh. I’m speechless, you’ve been watching the whole time... how did it become you who are wronged?"
He sighed, looking helpless, "I understand your Outer Mountain Gate needs to maintain dignity, but you should also understand the face of us Guardians."
The aggrieved look disappeared visibly from the faces of the Ziyi Palace maidens.
They inwardly realized: Indeed, what could Brother Fang do? He was only here to execute the Guardians’ tasks.
Just as Brother Fang said: If our Ziyi Palace wasn’t the first to confront him, would things have turned out this way?
Is Ziyi Palace strong? Compared to the Heavenly Palace and Netherworld Palace, what is Ziyi Palace? None of them made a sound, but Ziyi Palace had someone reckless enough to back Fang Che against the wall... What could Brother Fang do? He’s helpless too.
Fang Che’s words were, of course, not just directed at the young girls of Ziyi Palace.
The elders of Ziyi Palace were also nearby.
Each of them, with faces full of frustration and anger, also seemed much calmer after hearing these words.
Thinking carefully, what fault does Mr. Fang have?
He is merely performing his duties.
And just because of a word from a disciple, our Ziyi Palace became the one to stand out. In such a public place, as a representative of the Guardians, can he let the situation go?
Put yourself in his shoes, if you were Fang Che, what would you do? You’d have no choice but to suppress Ziyi Palace before discussing anything else!
Otherwise, it’d be utterly embarrassing!
If it came to that, it’d be too late to regret it.
Couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
Looking at Bei Zhen who instigated the trouble within the line, everyone’s anger flared up.
Did you make yourself seen?
This damn thing, causing trouble for nothing!
Wei Wo Zheng Sect said nothing, Heavenly Palace remained silent, the Underworld didn’t make a peep, other Netherworld Palace and Qingming Palace members didn’t react either, yet you damn well came out and howled...
Are you just stuffed full? Bastard!
The reputation of Ziyi Palace got ground into the dirt because of that outburst!
Even Lv Zheng’s gaze softened a lot, watching Fang Che patiently coaxing the young girls of Ziyi Palace, with a gentle smile, courteous manners, couldn’t help but let out another sigh.
This damn... what was the point!
Fang Che looked over, clasped his hands, with a hint of apology in his smile: "Elder Lv, earlier, apologies. It was truly unavoidable."
Lv Zheng sighed, with a sullen face: "Since things are like this now..."
Face full of speechlessness.
Dongyun Yu wanted to speak, but was immediately pinched hard on the waist by Fang Che, face contorting at once: "I... damn... what are you doing!"
Fang Che snorted, said: "Shut up for now. Wait, you’ll have your chance to shine."
Dongyun Yu sulkily stayed quiet.
Now the matter was unfolding completely according to Fang Che’s pace; how could Fang Che allow Dongyun Yu to speak up at this time?
If he opened his mouth it would be an indiscriminate attack, even more choking than a cesspool, what if conflict arises again?
"In this scene, I just want to recite a poem." Dongyun Yu murmured.
"Don’t recite now, find another chance to do it."
Fang Che firmly rejected.
Dongyun Yu snorted, turned away, holding his long sword, white garments like snow, face full of aloofness.
Face like frost and snow, spirit like frozen ice, eyes like cold crystal, with a grave expression.
People from Ziyi Palace quickly completed the registration.
A few young maidens waved: "Brother Fang, thank you for your hard work, goodbye Brother Fang. Let’s spar sometime!"
Fang Che’s smile bloomed like a flower: "Goodbye, goodbye, let’s spar when there’s time."
Felt a chill beside him.
Turned around to see Ye Mengbing’s cold eyes, looking on indifferently.
"Cough." Fang Che touched his nose, waved: "No, no, you’re all too pretty, your sister-in-law is getting jealous. From now on, I’ll sever ties with you! None of you talk to me, alright."
Instantly, laughter erupted: "We’ll definitely come to talk to you, definitely spar with you, definitely let sister-in-law beat you to death!"
Laughed as they left.
All harmonious.
This left the higher-ups of other Sects, including Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s Feng Yun and others, dumbfounded: Is this even possible?
Clearly, tensions were high just now, swords drawn and hostile, yet this kid’s teasing of the girls not only did no harm, but also eased the atmosphere...
Upstairs.
Aunt Hong couldn’t help but squint her eyes, turned to glance at Yan Beihan: the current situation, Yan Beihan had just mentioned.
Now, indeed things are developing as Yan Beihan said.
Duan Xiyang couldn’t help but crack his eyes open slightly, gave Yan Beihan a glance.
Over at Feng Yun’s side.
"A real talent..."
An old man behind Feng Yun twisted his face: "Damn it... how does this kid have that connection as well?"
Feng Yun was equally speechless.
Because he completely forgot, Fang Che still had that connection, with those young girls helping him ease the situation, nothing truly went wrong, a mere claim of duty, plus with Ziyi Palace having that scapegoat taking the blame, conflict shifted... damn, Fang Che the instigator got away unscathed!
"I overlooked the foundation Fang Che has established among the King level battle of young generations."
Feng Yun gently sighed.
"This is my oversight. Fang Che from the outset was prepared to use this fallback when stirring up opposition. The killing power small maiden disciples have on Sect elders is unparalleled... especially gifted, obedient, and pretty young female disciples..."
Feng Yun’s demeanor turned more serious.
Fang Che’s schemes run that deep?
