Chapter 163: Chapter 121 The Only Exception

"I know, my actions have flaws."

Fang Che admitted honestly, "But sometimes things are too urgent, and there’s no way around it."

Dongfang Sansan smiled, saying, "Indeed, it’s a bit rough, but it’s good that you realize the mistakes. I’m here to correct you. Although your method of infiltration is seamless, you will eventually be exposed."

He said heavily, "Recently, things have been calm across the states, except for Baiyun State, which has had frequent incidents. And once investigated, most are found to be related to you. This situation cannot continue."

"Additionally, I will smooth over all your past actions to present a natural transition into the form we most desire."

"Because when you have the chance to reach the Wei Wo Zheng Sect Headquarters, those there will surely dig into your background. Under your previous operations, your background cannot withstand such scrutiny."

Dongfang Sansan said, "Therefore, this must be addressed now and continue until then. So when the Wei Wo Zheng Sect Headquarters investigates, there won’t be any flaws. But you must also cooperate with us to cover things up."

Fang Che obediently agreed, "Yes."

Dongfang Sansan said solemnly, "You infiltrated Yixin Sect with utmost courage and passed their tests; however, you’re inexperienced in undercover work."

"At times, you act too hastily. You must understand that not every piece of information needs to be conveyed."

Dongfang Sansan said, "Sometimes, it’s okay for some information not to go through. Not everything has to be detailed."

"Yes."

"Also, regarding the maid, Ye Meng."

Dongfang Sansan smiled, "In my records, she’s called Yueying."

"Oh."

"Although you often scold her, you’ve never truly mistreated her. This seems inappropriate."

Dongfang Sansan said, "Secondly, many of the intelligence Yueying obtained was too easily gained. There are times she shouldn’t know something, yet you casually told her. This is not advisable. Because you don’t have a persona that particularly dotes on maids, you scold her every day yet also tell her important things... this is too suspicious."

"Therefore, in this aspect, you either build a persona that likes and spoils maids, or directly take her in as a concubine and pamper her excessively, or you need to pay attention."

Dongfang Sansan said in a soft voice, "The means are too crude. If this continues, you will inevitably be exposed."

Fang Che said troubled, "I’m aware of this, but sometimes, she can’t access secrets and it’s difficult for her to deduce them."

"Moreover, Yixin Sect communicates through the Five Spirits Gu, making everything too secretive. Even if I create opportunities, Ye Meng has no way of intercepting. This is the most troublesome part."

"And Ye Meng is also an ambitious person. She cannot know my true identity, nor can she be allowed to know. Letting her become a concubine to a Demon Sect person seems too unjust for her. If word got out, it would seem that the Guardian is unprincipled. So, it’s inappropriate."

Fang Che said, troubled, "I’m just an undercover demon, not a true demon. How could I do such a thing?"

"You have a point."

Dongfang Sansan reminded, "But you can think of a roundabout way, like finding another channel between you and Ye Meng?"

"Establish another channel?"

Fang Che was a bit puzzled.

Create a third channel between himself and Ye Meng?

How to establish it?

Dongfang Sansan smiled, "Moreover, some information is better left to settle for a while; don’t hastily release it immediately."

"Thirdly, you are only thinking of achieving merit as a Guardian, without considering making contributions to Yixin Sect. This won’t work. You need to make contributions to Yixin Sect too, and significant ones!"

Dongfang Sansan subtly pointed out these points.

Fang Che was startled and moved.

It’s true.

This is wrong.

On the Yixin Sect’s side, he needs to pay attention, not just report on his own situation and praise insincerely.

He also needs to deliver some valuable intelligence.

However, prior to this, he subconsciously didn’t want to do anything for Yixin Sect, and this mindset must be changed.

"But if I achieve merit for Yixin Sect, it would certainly harm us."

Fang Che sighed.

"The harm is inevitable."

Dongfang Sansan sighed long, "But it’s also worthwhile."

"So now, I’m taking advantage of their search for Ancient Jade to capture all exposed little demons in one go!"

"Ensure that even if you pass some information to Yixin Sect, they won’t have available personnel. So, you can’t be blamed for not delivering messages, but this situation won’t last long. After all, the cleansing of Demon Sect people in Baiyun State won’t last indefinitely."

"You currently have low cultivation. Even if you do something, Yin Shen Palace won’t pay attention, but in the future, as your cultivation improves and you still haven’t achieved anything, then... even if you’re undercover, it won’t matter."

"That’s why I came to see you in advance."

Dongfang Sansan said, "In the future, when you enter Jianghu and simultaneously join the mid-level management ranks of both Guardian and Yixin Sect, such as Incense Master, Leader, altar master, hall master of Yixin Sect... can you still not do anything?"

Fang Che also felt heavy-hearted.

When it comes to that, to continue being an undercover, he must raise the sword against his own people.

How could he bear that?

"You don’t need to worry too much about this either."

Dongfang Sansan instead consoled, "When it truly comes to that, on the Guardian side, those with shaky positions or high suspicion would also be given to you to handle."

Fang Che silently nodded.

His mood still wasn’t good.

Dongfang Sansan was just offering comfort because, in reality, how many of such cases would there be?

Or better yet, how many such people are there without being registered by the Demon Sect? How would he get that news?"

"There are a few things you need to be informed of."

Dongfang Sansan said, "Your records with Ye Meng have been sealed and all those informed have been transferred from their original positions to the Underground Dark Department for work needs; they won’t see daylight for decades. Currently, only three to five people on the entire continent know her identity, and they all report directly to me."

"Thank you, Ninth Lord."

Fang Che truly felt relieved.

What he feared most was this issue coming up.

If Ye Meng’s superior had issues, the effect would be catastrophic!

Unexpectedly, Dongfang Sansan already addressed it.

"And those who know your Yixin Sect identity are just those few individuals, whom I’ve strictly ordered not to expand this knowledge. Therefore, only one person at Baiyun Martial Academy knows, and that’s Huang Yifan."

"Not right. There’s someone else who knows; there is still a Yixin Sect spy at Baiyun Martial Academy. He’s very aware of me."

"That’s why we staged this play for you. It’s because of the spy’s existence."

Dongfang Sansan casually said, "Let that spy report back to Yin Shen Palace, causing fear and urgency there, further dispelling any suspicions or concerns about you."

"I see. The Ninth Lord has indeed thought thoroughly."

"This way, Yin Shen Palace will surely feel a sense of urgency. So this is beneficial to you."

Dongfang Sansan said, "To my knowledge, does Yin Shen Palace have tasks for you?"

"They didn’t specify anything, but I suspect it to be the Demon Sect’s commander selection."

Fang Che said, "Apart from that, there shouldn’t be anything else."

Dongfang Sansan smiled, "Yes, in the eyes of those in the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, it’s called the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan."

He looked at Fang Che with what seemed to be a meaningful smile, "Fang Che, it’s said that this Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan is fraught with slaughter. In the past, tens of thousands would enter and only a few thousands would exit, which is considered normal."

Fang Che understood immediately, his eyes brightened as he said, "Then that’s good news. I can actually make merits for Yixin Sect within it."

Dongfang Sansan almost laughed out loud.

But that was indeed his intention.

He just found it amusing that Fang Che referred to ’openly engaging in slaughter’ as a way to make merits for Yixin Sect.

"But your current level of cultivation is still weak; the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan is filled with danger, you must quickly improve your cultivation! If you die inside, it would be a real loss." Dongfang Sansan smiled.

"I know. I’m working hard on it."

Fang Che smiled, "In this regard, Yin Shen Palace seems more anxious than us."

Dongfang Sansan laughed immediately, "Because, the General Level participants from Yixin Sect in the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan are all under Ren Zhongyuan, and Ren Zhongyuan has ambitions to become the Sect Hierarch. From what I know, Ren Zhongyuan has even formed relationships at the Wei Wo Zheng Sect Headquarters, intending to use this Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan to push Yin Shen Palace aside. This news, Yin Shen Palace probably doesn’t know yet."

"I see."

"I came here today mainly to remind you and to let you understand that all situations on our side, everything told to you, will not change from today onward."

"Understood."

Dongfang Sansan’s voice was solemn, "We’ve fought against Wei Wo Zheng Sect for tens of thousands of years. Ever since they started worshipping the Celestial Worm God, we’ve never successfully placed an undercover agent."

"Or to put it another way... since Wei Wo Zheng Sect acquired the Five Spirits Gu, our efforts to plant spies have never succeeded. For years, countless brave men, willing to sacrifice themselves, tried to infiltrate Wei Wo Zheng Sect, only to be discovered. Or, they were discovered shortly after infiltrating, only to await their chosen moment to be slain..."

"And once discovered, it would lead to city massacres!"

"It took us so long to fully understand this situation! It wasn’t until later that I selected a few brothers as Death Soldiers to infiltrate Wei Wo Zheng Sect, and through desperate transmission via soul trembling on their deathbeds, it was revealed... the Five Spirits Gu..."

Dongfang Sansan’s expression was extremely mournful.

"Your entry this time is the only anomaly in countless millennia! Its significance is almost as monumental as the creation of heaven and earth!"
