Chapter 111: Chapter 69: Fang Che’s Preparation

Mu Lin Yuan and Hou Fang were not selected through the "Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan," but joined later as Jianghu Wanderers. Therefore, they could only serve as elders and held no real power.

At this moment, hearing the words "Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan," a hint of envy flashed across their eyes.

Because this was the most orthodox path to promotion!

Only by passing this could one find the road to heaven.

Those who had not passed through the "Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan," no matter what, could never reach high positions.

As Jianghu Wanderers like themselves, they could only serve as elders forever. They couldn’t even become a Leader.

(For example, Gan Jing and Gong Qin, cough, you can understand, right?)

Yin Shen Palace didn’t hide anything from its two trusted followers.

"There are over two hundred people of General Level suitable for the ’Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan,’ all currently in the Law Enforcement Hall and War Hall. Moreover, they have been nurtured for nearly three years. From this point of view, they could be pulled out to participate. But..."

Yin Shen Palace sighed deeply.

Mu Lin Yuan furrowed his brows in contemplation, "Sect Hierarch, these nearly two hundred people, how many of them are ours..."

He said half of it, then looked at Yin Shen Palace’s expression and tactfully didn’t continue.

Hou Fang didn’t speak, just heaved a sigh.

Yin Shen Palace’s expression grew even darker.

Even with his own selected people, they had already been in the War Hall and Law Enforcement Hall for three years, and during these three years, he hadn’t inquired.

In those three years, who knew what changes had taken place?

There were even few whom he could contact himself.

Even if they were his people before, would he dare to use them in the future?

That was a big question.

As of now, those two hundred or so people might as well be none of his own!

The more Yin Shen Palace thought about this, the more irritable he became, his temples throbbing with an almost uncontrollable urge to kill someone.

Mu Lin Yuan let out a sigh, saying, "It’s a pity that Ye Meng’s cultivation is too shallow right now..."

Ye Meng?

Yin Shen Palace’s eyes lit up. Perhaps this fellow could give him a surprise?

But then he thought of how this youngster had just broken through to an ordinary Grandmaster, and his pace...

His heart sank again.

He might not catch up in time.

"Go to Baiyun State, I’m going to see Ye Meng!"

Yin Shen Palace sighed, helplessly waving his hand.

"Do we need to inform him? We shouldn’t miss him if he’s out on a task from Baiyun Martial Academy," Mu Lin Yuan reminded.

"Let him know. Tell him to wait!"

Yin Shen Palace grew somewhat irritable.

In his heart, he felt he was somewhat of a failure as a Sect Hierarch.

Here it was, crunch time, and he couldn’t produce anyone, having to rely on a young fellow who was just a Grandmaster, and possibly not even a reliable one at that.

But after pondering over and over, Ye Meng seemed to be the last glimmer of hope.

Besides that, even if he uprooted Ren Zhongyuan and all his forces right now, not sparing a single one...

He still wouldn’t catch up with this round of the "Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan."

To participate and get slaughtered was the norm.

But not to participate at all, to skip a round, that was another matter entirely.

...

Fang Che sent a message to Yin Shen Palace and waited, thinking that after Huo Churan’s family was wiped out, Yin Shen Palace had to make a statement, right?

But he waited a long while without any feedback.

He couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled.

After several hours had passed, he suddenly received a transmission from Mu Lin Yuan, "The Sect Hierarch will be at your place tonight. Wait at home and don’t go out."

Fang Che was startled!

Yin Shen Palace was coming?

What was the situation?

Surely I’m not that important?

It was already afternoon.

Fang Che quickly left the Martial Arts Academy and hurried home.

Even Mo Gan Yun calling after him from behind, he didn’t pay any attention.

This was a big deal!

A real crisis!

Fang Che was anxious because he had to make arrangements to get Ye Meng out.

She couldn’t meet Yin Shen Palace.

Sun Yuan might not have seen through Ye Meng’s true cultivation, but Yin Shen Palace and Mu Lin Yuan might very well see through it.

Her cultivation was too high!

Even the slight sound of Ye Meng’s heartbeat could be detected by someone of Yin Shen Palace’s level as being slightly off.

He had to get Ye Meng to hide quickly.

Otherwise, if Yin Shen Palace slapped her to death, he could only watch, with no room to speak.

But getting Ye Meng out also required strategy; Ye Meng definitely could not know about Yin Shen Palace coming.

Otherwise, if Ye Meng spread the message, and the higher-ups heard the Yixin Sect Leader had arrived in Baiyun State, they would definitely send masters to lay siege.

In such a critical moment, Yin Shen Palace could not die no matter what.

"My concerns... damn it, I bear the Guardian’s worries, and also the Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s worries... I’m just a little ant, yet I worry for the safety of a bunch of dragons... Damn it, nobody throughout history has ever been in such a position."

Once in the courtyard.

Ye Meng was engaged in sword training, with her sword light flashing brilliantly, already looking quite impressive.

But Fang Che was in no mood to appreciate it.

He directly said, "With your pathetic talent, you train the sword so inaccurately, do you still have the face to practice? Get moving, you’ve got work to do."

Ye Meng pouted, "Young Master, what’s up?"

"Go make me some clothes."

Fang Che snorted, saying, "You’ve made too little progress recently, you can’t always do nothing, not work at all, do you want to become a pig?"

Ye Meng: ...Aren’t I the one who does all the work anyway?

But seeing the aggressive manner of Fang Che, she wisely did not argue.

"Young Master, where to?"

"Shen Zhen Store."

The Shen Zhen Store was acknowledged as the top tailor shop in Baiyun State, with the most complete materials, best fabrics, finest craftsmanship, and could even make protective clothing like body armor.

If you have other requirements, such as waterproof, fireproof, resistant to swords, hidden weapons, and the like... as long as you have the money, you can have it made.

Of course, if you need a higher level, as long as you have Spirit Crystals, it can be done too.

And right now, Young Master Fang, lacking in nothing else, had plenty of money.

The entire fortune of his great brother, Su Yue, was in his pocket. And his brother had said, spend it freely!

The whole of Baiyun State had heard this.

So he even hailed a carriage, to project a sense of calm and grandeur.

Taking Ye Meng onto the carriage, he said, "Just keep an eye on things there, and come back when it’s done. I have high standards!"

High standards?

Ye Meng was quite surprised.

How high could they be?

She couldn’t help but knit her brows tightly, thinking maybe he was purposely sending her away for some other reason? What was he up to?

But with Fang Che watching her closely, she had no time to send a message.

Along the way, Fang Che leisurely dragged out the time.

When he reached the Shen Zhen Store, Fang Che took off his large cloak and placed it on the table. It was then that Ye Meng finally understood how high Fang Che’s standards were.

"This is my robe, but... it’s a bit too plain. The material is very common, and the hidden patterns are somewhat unsatisfactory."

Fang Che said to the shopkeeper, who had come out specially to greet him because the ’customer was too lavish,’ "And I need it urgently!"

"What are your specific requirements?"

"The color should be changed to a purplish-blue that’s close to black, you understand? It looks black at first glance, but when you move, it gives off a visual effect of gleaming with blue and purple."

"Understood."

"Use the best material, money is no object."

"Understood."

"The hidden patterns should be pressed in such a way that they’re invisible when viewed from the front, only faintly appearing when moving, you get it?"

"Got it! That’s easy."

"The hidden gold should also match the color of the material, but as you move, it should subtly reveal a metallic sheen, a glimmer that pierces through the eyes... like the twinkling of stars in the night sky, you know that feeling, right?"

"Got it, we just need to press on some Star Gold."

"You’ll need to use silk, understand?"

"Understood!"

"To put it simply, I want something high-end and stylish, subtly luxurious with depth, you get it?"

"Understood!"

"I’ll need one piece by tomorrow morning. Can it be done?"

This time, the shopkeeper didn’t immediately agree but asked back, "How many pieces in total?"

"One hundred!"

Fang Che didn’t hesitate: "If one hundred pieces won’t do, then two hundred."

"That’s enough!"

The shopkeeper’s face broke into a delighted smile. This was a big sum of money, truly a super customer.

"Any requirements for the collar?"

"You decide."

"Okay."

"And my boots, my everyday clothes, and so on, also need to be made. Start with thirty sets for now. The boots should be similar, but I’m a martial artist, you know?"

"Understood, how about we make the boots from the most durable demon beast skin we can find? Is it okay if they’re a bit more expensive?"

"Money is no issue!"

Fang Che said magnanimously: "Start taking measurements. Can everything be done in one night?"

"If all the master craftsmen work overtime, it should be possible in one night. But there are many requirements to remember, and it’s easy to get them confused."

"No matter, I wouldn’t feel at ease if you did it yourselves. It just so happens that my maid has nothing to do at home; she can stay here to watch over you and can be consulted about any issues."

"Uh, okay. But we need a deposit first..."

"Is ten thousand taels enough for a deposit?"

"!!!"

The shopkeeper was shocked.

On her delicate face, her mouth hung open, slightly twisted.

Where did this sucker come... er, noble young master from?

"That’s enough, that’s enough!"

"Good. Send someone to take the measurements."

Fang Che didn’t care at all.

It was merely a drop in the ocean to him.

The workers from Shen Zhen Store started to measure meticulously, from head to toe, shoulder, waist, hips, arms, legs...

Extremely detailed.

Utterly focused.

A big spender!

They must seize the opportunity!

And they kept making adjustments, continually discussing with Ye Meng about some data and requirements.

And so, Ye Meng was kept busy turning things over in her mind, dealing with this and that.

Fang Che also didn’t rush, cooperating fully.

A flurry of activity lasted nearly an hour as they went from inside out, fussing a great deal.

Then he left Ye Meng there.

"No matter what, I want the first set of clothes and the cloak brought back to me by dawn tomorrow. There’s a big event at the Martial Arts Academy tomorrow, and I desperately need it; it’s extremely urgent."

Ye Meng took it for real.

After all, waiting here for one night wasn’t a big deal.

She readily agreed, "As long as they can make it, I can bring it back to you."

"Good."

Ye Meng stayed busy, her mind constantly churning.

Everything seemed normal, but Fang Che’s sudden order for so many clothes was quite unexpected.

Abnormal.

This matter still needed to be reported.

Ye Meng walked outside.

"Where are you going?"

Fang Che asked.

"My lord, I... I have some... urgent business..." Ye Meng flushed, looking embarrassed.

"Great, I’m also in a rush; let’s go together." Fang Che laughed.

"Ah?"

Ye Meng was stunned.

"Let’s go."

Fang Che urged.

Ye Meng had no choice but to follow, her heart in turmoil.

Fang Che waited there, continuously consulting with Ye Meng, "Does this look right? How about this?"

Time slowly passed...

Eventually, it got very late.

"You’d better keep a close eye on them!"

Fang Che left with the clothing receipts, heading to the tea shop, pastry shop, and so on, making a round of purchases.

He then spent a substantial sum to buy two pounds of awakening tea, normally used by high-level cultivators.

He carried it back to the large courtyard to wait.

He knew in his heart: Ye Meng would definitely be suspicious. She would definitely report. But the other party had no idea what was going on, so, for the time being, it was safe.

Because he had already dragged out over five hours.

Under the moonlight.

The lights of Scholar Residence shone brightly.

Fang Che was ceaselessly practicing his swordsmanship, diligently and laboriously.

His movements vigorous and powerful, he was drenched in sweat but did not stop.

The swishing sounds continued on and on.

At midnight.

When the stars and moon were brilliantly shining.

Figures flickered in the night sky.

Three people from Yin Shen Palace arrived silently in the courtyard of Scholar Residence.
