Chapter 952: Chapter 235: A Gentleman Like Jade, Steward Fang [Ten Thousand Words!] (Part 4)
Lan Xinxue hesitated, "This explanation is difficult to accept. Besides, in all these years, there has been no record of such a thing in our Yin Yang Realm trials..."
A disciple, furious to the extreme, said, "So that means the Underworld has been hiding this from us for so many years!"
Another disciple angrily said, "This time, we have innocent deaths of eighty-eight brothers and sisters, eighty-eight, oh Holy Daughter! We only came in with a total of one hundred twenty people!"
Lan Xinxue wanted to say that what Fang Che said might not necessarily be true.
But now, everyone’s emotions were already stirred. The deaths in the Yin Yang Realm this time were truly strange and bizarre.
Moreover, it was too suffocating.
Who could have known the rules would change? Who could have known how to avoid it?
The deaths were too unjust!
Those were loved ones, blood brothers and sisters... it was heart-wrenching!
And another reason Lan Xinxue couldn’t voice out naturally was...
Fang Che was right in front of her.
She had always shown admiration and deep affection for Fang Che. How could she voice suspicion now?
If she said it out loud, wouldn’t it risk exposing her plans?
While pondering, she heard Fang Che instead say, "Everyone, my brothers and sisters... this matter, it’s my fault, alas, I thought too shallowly. I really didn’t know you all were unaware... my mistake. If you all, because of my words, start a dispute with the Underworld... wouldn’t that be a great wrongdoing of mine, Fang Che?"
He earnestly said, "So, I plead with all of you, when encountering people from the Underworld, must give them a chance to explain, will you?"
He sincerely said, "What if it’s all a misunderstanding?"
Fang Che’s gentlemanly demeanor instantly won over everyone’s favor.
One of the Netherworld Palace disciples said, "Steward Fang’s gentlemanly demeanor moves us all. But this matter... is quite significant, with eighty-eight lives lost, it’s a blood debt as vast as the mountains and seas."
"If the Underworld is truly our enemy, we have nothing to say, but dying under the concealed information of our own people, it is truly..."
He sighed deeply, tears rolling down his face.
Fang Che also sighed, "Everyone, please restrain your grief."
Lan Xinxue’s expression darkened as she sighed, "Brother Fang, is what you say... really true? It’s hard for me to believe."
Fang Che inwardly sneered.
This woman, indeed, distrusts me.
He tenderly said, "Junior Sister Lan has deep affection for me, how can I not know? How could I, Fang Che, deceive you in matters such as these?"
Lan Xinxue blushed instantly, stomping her foot, embarrassed and speaking coyly, "Brother Fang, you... how can you... in front of so many people, oh, it’s so embarrassing..."
Everyone laughed.
But it was very clear that the hostility toward Fang Che had already significantly lessened.
Those who originally harbored killing intent towards Fang Che now felt a complex mix of emotions.
Mr. Fang... he indeed harbored no malice towards us.
"Brother Fang, what is your level now?" Lan Xinxue asked.
"Junior Sister Lan, you should be Monarch Level now? Second Rank?" Fang Che asked with a smile.
"Brother Fang, your insight is like a torch," Lan Xinxue said.
"I am a few levels higher, two or three grades maybe," Fang Che smiled.
"No wonder I can’t see through Brother’s level, yet Brother can see through mine at a single glance... Brother Fang truly has extraordinary talent, a brilliant genius."
"No, no, I just focused on cultivation, not encountering any danger, spending almost all my time on training, thus the progress is quicker. If Junior Sister knew how to avoid dangers like me, your achievements would surely not be lower than mine."
Fang Che smiled warmly.
Everyone was stuck on those words ’focused on cultivation, spending almost all my time on training’.
If Yin Yunxiao had informed us, would we have ended up like this? It’s just great now; we’ve wasted so much time running for our lives, and lost so many brothers and sisters!
A blood vendetta!
Next, everyone naturally traveled together.
In this way, the atmosphere gradually became ever more harmonious.
After all, before, our core was Lan Xinxue, Second Rank Monarch; but being on tenterhooks, with very little sense of security.
Now with Fang Che joining the group, his cultivation level was much higher than Lan Xinxue, giving everyone an invisible pillar of support, greatly enhancing the sense of security. Thus, in this mindset, naturally, everyone felt much closer to Fang Che.
Along the way, chatting and talking, becoming more and more harmonious.
Fang Che naturally wanted to use this time to build good relations.
"Do you think I’m unreasonable? Harsh? Are you talking about having to register at the Four Seas and Eight Desolate Tower? Oh, I say, this junior brother, you have wronged me."
Fang Che looked helpless, "Think about it yourselves, in all of your Outer World Mountain Sect’s Yin Yang Realm trials, wasn’t every one of them on our Guardians’ territory? And how many times did we know over these years? Not a single time."
"This time, you finally slipped up, and of course, there had to be action from above, so I came here with a task; if I didn’t act that way, how could I get you to reveal your purpose, how could I stay to complete my mission?"
"You all have nothing to worry about, task completion doesn’t matter to you; but me... I’m not at the sect, I’m in a profession, and if I can’t complete the tasks assigned from above... well, what awaits me is obvious."
Fang Che saw the faces of everyone starting to show some understanding, sighed deeply, "Brothers and sisters, you tell me, confronting all the Outer World Mountain Sect, all the gifted disciples, do you really think I, Fang Che, like offending people? Really have no concerns? Offending everybody in one stroke? All who come here are the geniuses of major sects, the future leaders!"
