Chapter 245: Chapter 16 Bring Down the Head [Additional Chapter 7 for Old Bookworm No. 6 of the Silver Alliance]
Faced with this situation, the Chief Steward could only turn a blind eye.
Because Fan Tiantiao had warned him: "Fang Che, you better keep an eye on him. If he acts up, don’t come crying to me to have him transferred or something. I’m telling you now, that’s impossible."
So the Chief Steward didn’t dare to do anything.
If I reprimand him once, Fang Che will have ten comebacks; and I can’t fire him, nor transfer him.
Every day there’s an uncontrollable troublemaker under my command, and I can’t handle him myself.
What authority do I have as a leader then?
So, you see.
Peace above all.
"Let’s go! Let’s take a walk in Nancheng."
Fang Che finished drinking tea and called for Little Tang to go out, since he was assigned his duties, naturally he had to be diligent.
Am I, Fang Che, the kind of person who holds a job without doing anything?
Little Tang followed with a distressed face.
Ren Chang softly reminded from behind: "Steward Fang, don’t rush things. Achievements and merits don’t happen in a day."
Fang Che turned his head, smiled, and said: "Steward Ren, don’t worry, I’m just getting familiar with the work environment."
"Alright, alright." Ren Chang said no more.
As Fang Che walked out, he thought to himself. This Ren Chang... is quite enthusiastic. Fan Tiantiao instructed him, and he’s really started to remind me of everything.
He’s a pretty good person.
...
Fang Che overestimated Li Mengyun and the others.
Also, he misunderstood one thing, which is: it’s easy to find Sun Yuan from Fang Che’s side.
But finding Fang Che from Sun Yuan’s side is harder than climbing to the sky.
This is because of the differing standpoints and asymmetrical information: everyone at the upper levels of Baiyun Martial Academy knows Fang Che’s master is the Demon of the Demon Sect, Sun Yuan.
But starting from the Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s sub-sects, like the Heavenly God, Three Saints, Yemo, Bright Mingguang and others, they begin to investigate Sun Yuan’s disciple...
It’s difficult then.
They don’t even know Sun Yuan is in Baiyun State, let alone who Sun Yuan’s disciples are. Now Sun Yuan is already dead...
Moreover... Baiyun State was just cleaned up.
Disguised as the Third Miss of the Wang Family, Wang Yun’er, Li Mengyun from the Li family, with two guards and a Shadow Guard, arrived in Baiyun State.
They immediately started their investigations according to their original plan.
But, something they didn’t expect happened.
After Li Mengyun and her team contacted the Yemo Sect Leader Hai Wuliang for assistance, Hai Wuliang helplessly stated: "Our sect’s forces in Baiyun State have been uprooted."
They then contacted the Heavenly God Sect: "Our sect’s forces in Baiyun State have been uprooted, leaving only a few small bases. The sub branches have lost contact."
Contacting the San Sheng Sect yielded the same results.
When asked about Sun Yuan’s disciple, they were even more clueless.
"We don’t know. The disciple of Yixin Sect’s elder, we don’t know."
"Absolutely no knowledge."
"Who is Sun Yuan?"
These sects directly didn’t even know Sun Yuan, let alone his disciples.
A flash of coldness appeared in Li Mengyun’s eyes as she sought out the Yixin Sect informant, introduced back then by Ren Zhongyuan.
But several consecutive attempts returned as silent as a stone dropping into the sea, with no response at all.
The Five Spirits Gu feedback: These people may already be dead.
As for Ren Zhongyuan... there was no need to contact him; he was dead.
In the end, Miss Li from the Li family had no choice. She directly sent a message to the Yin Shen Palace, which responded: "Our sect’s forces in Baiyun State have been completely uprooted by the Guardian."
Li Mengyun directly asked: "Who is Sun Yuan’s disciple? What’s his name?"
The Yin Shen Palace calmly replied: "Does Sun Yuan have another disciple? Not aware."
Li Mengyun said: "Does the Yin Sect Leader know but is unwilling to tell?"
The Yin Shen Palace replied: "Truly don’t know. If the disciples are accepted below, does the sect leader need to investigate each one?"
Li Mengyun was silent.
The Yin Shen Palace continued to ask: "What crime did our sect’s Sun Yuan commit? Miss Li, you killed him, you should give a reason. Sun Yuan was an Emperor Level expert of our sect, how rare are Emperor Level experts from sub-sects, Miss Li is aware."
Li Mengyun was stifled, she couldn’t directly say I wanted to kill your disciple, but Sun Yuan tricked me, so I killed Sun Yuan.
But feeling cornered by the Yin Shen Palace, she asked bluntly: "Where is Yemo?"
The Yin Shen Palace said: "Do you need me to tie up the disciple and send him to Miss Li so you can kill him with one sword to avenge your brother? If necessary, please say so."
Li Mengyun replied, frustrated: "No need, I’ll find Yemo myself and kill him myself! The Yin Sect Leader can be busy with their own affairs. When the sect leader gets a promotion, Mengyun will definitely come to congratulate."
The Yin Shen Palace sneered.
This Li Mengyun was actually threatening them, implying that if they offend the Li family, they won’t be able to get promoted?
So they replied: "Thank you for looking out, Miss Li. However, the Li family chasing and killing Yemo this time and killing our sect’s Emperor Level elder, has already been reported to headquarters. According to headquarters’ regulations, in the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan, any deaths are not to be retaliated. The Li family has violated the rules."
"In addition, killing our sect’s Emperor Level elder, adds crime on top of crime."
"Specially informing Miss Li that our conversation just now will also be reported as evidence. Miss Li should first contact the family to exonerate them."
They threw aside the Communication Jade.
The Yin Shen Palace snorted coldly, feeling as though the Li family from headquarters was like fools.
You trying to kill my disciple, yet you come to ask me where my disciple is?
Simply insane.
Li Mengyun was dumbfounded.
Despite her high cultivation and being from a prestigious family at headquarters, always high and mighty. How dare the Yin Shen Palace be so rude?
Moreover, in terms of intellect, this Miss Li Mengyun than compared to the Yin Shen Palace, her intelligence was simply crushed. After a few exchanges, it not only ended poorly but she also handed over evidence for post Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan retaliations.
She was furious, unable to take any further action.
Now she suddenly realized, with Sun Yuan dead, this line was completely cut off.
This Baiyun State seemed like a power vacuum for the Wei Wo Zheng Sect.
There wasn’t even a single Demon Sect sub branch inside!
Li Mengyun was confused.
How can such a place exist in this world!?
So she sent a message to her family to inquire, and the family replied, explaining that Baiyun State was like this because something major occurred. Even the Law Enforcement Altar Master Bei Mingxin suffered a significant loss there... and so on.
This had happened just a few months ago.
Gave in!
Li Mengyun truly submitted.
This trip ended with nothing gained.
Just killed one Sun Yuan.
The real target, Yemo, was still hiding deeply, far away.
If they truly want to find and kill Yemo, they might really need to capture the Yin Shen Palace for interrogation to reveal Yemo.
But even now, the Yin Shen Palace’s report had already informed headquarters of everything about the Li family.
Now the entire family was facing inquiries from the headquarters’ Law Enforcement Hall.
It is said that the Vice Sect Master is still waiting for a reply.
But where would they dare to directly deal with the Yin Shen Palace? Besides, with the strength of the Yin Shen Palace, could they even consider it?
"Let’s go check Nancheng... Is Sun Yuan’s disciple this cowardly? His master’s head has been hanging there for eight or nine days, and he hasn’t cared or asked?"
The four of them had no choice, sulking as they headed to the South Gate.
If they didn’t find anything, they planned to leave through the South Gate.
...
At this moment, Fang Che was at the South Gate.
And he had just received the news from the Yin Shen Palace.
Feeling assured in his heart.
So the Li family didn’t even know who he was.
That makes it easier!
Thinking it through, it made sense.
The identity of Yemo was highly confidential, and those from the Yixin Sect who knew his identity, those knowing he was Sun Yuan’s disciple, all totaled only four individuals.
These four individuals would never betray him. As for others, from the start, the Yin Shen Palace’s secretive approach made it a complete secret from the beginning...
Information, like stones falling into the ocean, went completely silent.
Investigating Sun Yuan’s disciple from the Demon Sect had no trail to follow at all.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t go to Baiyun Martial Academy or the Guardian Hall to see the results and then deduce backwards...
"Tsk tsk..."
Fang Che clicked his tongue: "It’s truly good to keep secrets well."
He was representing the Guardian Hall, patrolling Nancheng. This young and promising Steward Fang, full of youthful spirit, dressed in brand new official robes, with hands behind his back, commanding here and there.
"So many disaster victims here, also set up a porridge station here."
"Clear the snow over here."
"Clear all the snow inside the city quickly, it’s a mess, what does it look like."
"Set up a bonfire in this slightly distant place, those who haven’t received relief can warm themselves first."
"Clean up over here, there’s horse and cow dung everywhere, dirty and filthy. After a long time, people will get sick. And there’s a wild dog’s corpse here... Tang Zheng, drag it away and throw it out to bury."
"Tang Zheng, you’re silly without any keen eyes, do you see that poop over there? Hurry up and clean it..."
"..."
Tang Zheng was being ordered around so that his feet couldn’t touch the ground, not knowing how many times he swore in his heart.
This is really a case of one holding power for a day and immediately issuing commands. Has this Steward Fang never been an official before in eight lifetimes?
But it’s undeniable, with Fang Che’s engagement and constant command, the order and environment outside the South Gate improved a lot visibly.
Li Mengyun and the other three were just among the crowd, watching this young steward constantly allocate, constantly shout.
Then outside the entire South Gate gradually became orderly.
"Among these Guardians, there is talent indeed."
Li Mengyun sighed.
The other three nodded one after another.
Li Changbo doubtfully said: "But this steward, seems a bit familiar... doesn’t he look a bit like Sun Yuan’s disciple?"
Li Mengyun smirked sarcastically and said lightly: "That’s impossible. What identity does Sun Yuan have, taking a steward of the Guardian Hall as a disciple? This is too absurd. Li Changbo, what are you thinking?"
"Miss is right."
Li Changbo was just joking and immediately discarded the thought.
At this time.
You could hear that Steward Fang shouting: "Hey... Tang Zheng, look at the city wall, that head hanging up there, how many days has it been? The public display should have ended right? The sun is out and it’s thawing, go take down the head."
