Chapter 155: Chapter 113: Fang Che is Under Investigation

The man in the southeast was immediately taken aback.

After receiving the order, he set off right away, but just as he stepped out the door, he received a second message.

What was going on?

Why was a trip to Baiyun Martial Academy now requiring a detour around the continent?

But Dongfang Sansan had always been meticulous in planning, and since he gave such orders, there must be a reason.

He dared not delay.

So he flew towards the headquarters.

...

Fang Che was now attending class at Baiyun Martial Academy.

Upon arrival, he saw Fang Qingyun waiting at the door.

"Cousin? Waiting for me? What’s the matter?" Fang Che walked over.

Fang Qingyun gently chided, "I’m waiting here, if not for you, who else could it be?"

"Hmm...Weren’t you on a mission?"

Fang Che was a bit puzzled, "After the Wan Zhimei incident, you were always on missions; I thought it had affected you. It didn’t, did it?"

"No effect at all."

Fang Qingyun smiled warmly, "Wan Zhimei, normally, felt quite distant when with us. We originally thought it was just her personality. Now we know her identity was as an undercover from the Demon Sect, and it all makes sense."

"Different aspirations lead to different paths. No wonder, it must have been difficult for her to be with us usually. On these recent missions without her, everything felt much smoother. Instead, it felt even more harmonious."

Fang Qingyun smiled warmly.

"That’s good," Fang Che felt relieved.

"This time, the mission involved collecting spiritual medicine, and we overachieved our tasks. There was no danger, everything was safe and sound. When you write home, don’t tell Aunt I’m taking risks and such."

Fang Qingyun warned.

"I won’t say that."

Fang Che grinned mischievously, "I’ll just say you went on a mission, battled, and made great accomplishments!"

"Jeez!"

Fang Qingyun said angrily, "You’re aiming to get me a beating from your uncle!"

Then he laughed, "This mission also had a surprise. We found a Snow Spirit Fruit, which can nurture the meridians for six months after consuming it. Exactly seven fruits, divided among our six members, I, as the leader, got two pieces."

As he said, he carefully took a package from his pocket, gently unwrapped it, and smiled, "I’ve already consumed mine, and this one is saved for you."

Seeing the Snow Spirit Fruit, Fang Che felt a warmth in his heart, "I probably don’t need it now, Cousin, you should take it."

"Heh..."

Fang Qingyun took the fruit, forcefully stuffed it into Fang Che’s mouth, and said, "As long as you irritate me less in the future, I’ll be satisfied. I’m heading back. I’ve heard you broke through to an Innate Grandmaster, impressive. But don’t go taking risks, or I’ll rat you out. Just let me know if you need anything."

With a hearty laugh and a wave, Fang Qingyun left gracefully.

Feeling the sweetness in his mouth, Fang Che’s gaze grew profound.

The warmth in his heart was indeed comfortable.

It’s just a pity that Cousin is still only a fifth-grade Grandmaster, with many good things he can’t use yet.

Those foundation-building items I’ve given him are already too much... Hmm... let’s wait a bit.

But I just felt his cultivation is now at the Sixth Grade Martial Sect? This progress is pretty fast.

...

In the Spiritual Energy Gravity Cultivation Room, Fang Che was sweating profusely.

It was already the end of the first hour, finishing and re-entering for the start of the second hour.

Bing Shangxue was still waiting at the door.

Casually chatting with the instructor guarding the cultivation room.

The instructor clearly enjoyed chatting with a beauty like Bing Shangxue and was very enthusiastic.

"Instructor Bing’s students, these ones are truly talented."

"Yeah, absolutely."

"Of them, I particularly favor this Fang Che, and also Mo Gan Yun. Both have remarkable talent and perseverance."

"Yeah, indeed."

"Teaching students daily must be quite tiring, huh?"

"Yeah, it’s alright."

"Does Instructor Bing have time in the evening? May I take you out for dinner?"

"Sure... wait, no, I have something on this evening."

Bing Shangxue sighed inwardly.

This new instructor sure is presumptuous, sigh, freshly transferred has no sense of discretion.

Should I teach him a little lesson?

As she considered this, she noticed several people from the Teaching Affairs Office walking her way.

Leading them was Xiang Xinghe, head of the Teaching Affairs Office.

"Instructor Bing Shangxue?"

Xiang Xinghe got straight to the point: "Do you have a student named Fang Che?"

"Yes. What is it about?" Bing Shangxue frowned.

If Xiang Xinghe himself was involved, it couldn’t be a minor issue.

What was going on?

"Summon him, let him come with us," Xiang Xinghe said flatly, "The Martial Arts Academy needs to conduct an examination."

"Examine what?"

Bing Shangxue’s eyes turned deep, "Did the initial admission not include an examination?"

"An initial examination is one thing. If there are doubts, naturally a re-examination is needed!"

Xiang Xinghe’s expression turned stern, "Instructor Bing, this isn’t something you or I can decide!"

Bing Shangxue took a deep breath, "Fang Che has just entered the Gravity Cultivation Room; disturbing him now might harm his foundation. Wait until he’s done."

She immediately tried to reach Li Changkong through a communication technique.

Xiang Xinghe’s gaze was as sharp as a falcon, fixed on Bing Shangxue’s face, "Instructor Bing, dragging out the time is pointless. This is a directive from the Mountain Master."

Bing Shangxue stood her ground, "I’m just an assistant instructor, the chief instructor is Li Changkong. If you take him away from me, I can’t account for it."

"This is a command from the Martial Arts Academy!"

"But we also have our own rules!"

Bing Shangxue was resolute.

While they were at an impasse, Li Changkong hurried over, "What’s going on?"

"They’re going to take Fang Che away..."

Bing Shangxue stepped forward and explained through their communication technique.

Li Changkong furrowed his brows, "Let me see the paperwork for taking him!"

He checked all their procedures, and everything was entirely official.

Li Changkong made a request, "As the chief instructor, I want to accompany him!"

Xiang Xinghe became furious, "Li Changkong, you’re too impudent! Why are you so intent on protecting someone suspicious, what’s your agenda?"

Li Changkong said, "Even if my student has a problem, I wish to see it myself. If he doesn’t have a problem, I’ll just bring him back right away."

Xiang Xinghe was about to explode but paused when a voice drifted in.

"Let him come along,"

Xiang Xinghe was silent for a moment.

"Alright, you can come, but only you. And don’t speak rashly. It’s a grave matter,"

Li Changkong took a deep breath, "Alright."

He turned to Bing Shangxue, "Wait here for Mo Gan Yun, I’ll bring Fang Che out."

"Let the instructor guarding the cultivation room bring him out instead. You can’t go,"

Xiang Xinghe said stiffly.

"..."

Li Changkong sighed, "I just hope you don’t wrong a good person. That kid is a good kid."

"Whether he’s wronged or not, that’s not our concern; we’re just here to take him,"

The instructor guarding the room already went in to call Fang Che.

Bing Shangxue and Li Changkong exchanged worried glances.

Given how complete the procedures were, it seemed this wasn’t a trivial matter.

But what was it all about?

Why the sudden examination of Fang Che?

Lately, many people related to the Demon Sect underwent examination at the Martial Arts Academy; how did Fang Che come under suspicion?

...

Since acquiring the Ancient Jade, Fang Che noticed his Divine Sense had several times grown stronger, leading to a considerable boost in his cultivation pace over the original baseline.

After all, Divine Sense is related to the soul, and a powerful Divine Sense speaks to stronger capabilities.

Thus, one could engage in efforts for extended periods.

For instance, most people feel tired after studying or working with intense focus for one or two hours, leading to dizziness and blurred vision, making it hard to concentrate.

This is due to Divine Sense.

If Divine Sense is strong, focusing for ten hours versus one where distraction sets in is utterly different in effect.

Thus, in a few days, Fang Che made notable progress.

Moreover, Fang Che could faintly sense that the Ancient Jade had more facets, though he could only comprehend this much for now.

The rest is for later.

Presently, in the Spiritual Energy Gravity Cultivation Room, Fang Che was exerting himself to compress his cultivation, absorbing the innate spiritual energy in the room to continually raise his level to the peak of the Innate Grandmaster’s Fifth Realm, closing in on the Sixth Realm, just a step away.

In his Dantian, spiritual energy roared and emanated as it traveled through his meridians, simultaneously converting into his strength. The entire room was filled with spiritual energy, like a fog.

Fang Che’s breathing was like two dragons; an exhale expelled turbid spiritual energy, while an inhale took in pure spiritual energy.

His whole body seemed to swell up, meridians flowed with endless spiritual energy, constantly digesting.

With each exhalation, the bloated body returned to normal, and the cycle repeated.

Fang Che planned to break through to the Sixth Realm in a day or two.

This would afford him more time.

Perfectly aligning with Yin Shen Palace’s demand for reaching General Level in four months.

Nearly two months had passed already.

Time was tight, and merely reaching the first general level wouldn’t suffice. It’s best to reach levels six, seven, or eight...

However, Fang Che also knew that even with his exceptional talent, such expectations were extravagant and ultimately unrealistic.

With time being short, it was about maximizing every bit of progress possible, even savoring each breath of spiritual energy since it was his lifeline.

Reaching General Level meant facing arduous tasks or battles.

Otherwise, Yin Shen Palace wouldn’t be so urgent.

Recalling Yin Shen Palace’s unrestrained deadly moves during their spar, Fang Che became acutely aware of the danger posed by his upcoming missions.

Just as he exhaled deeply...

About to inhale when suddenly...

The spiritual energy abruptly dispersed.

It unexpectedly stopped flowing.

Fang Che was stunned: What happened? I just came in less than 15 minutes ago.

Isn’t it supposed to be an hour?

Immediately, the door swung open.

The instructor guarding the cultivation room called out at the entrance, "Fang Che! Come out!"
