Chapter 70: Chapter 35 Thank You Wow

Thinking about how Fang Che was inevitably going to be rewarded for his achievements, Fan Tiantiao felt a headache coming on.

He glanced at Chen Ru Hai.

Sure enough, he saw Chen Ru Hai pinching the bridge of his nose.

With his foot-scratching hand.

Under the psychological effect, Fan Tiantiao felt he could "see" a stench evaporating from it.

Ugh...

Fan Tiantiao hurriedly turned his head away.

"Wasn’t Su Yue dead?"

"He’s not dead."

Fang Che looked baffled.

"My Big Brother Su is alive and kicking, how could he be dead? He’s my great big brother."

"Then where is he?"

"Big Brother Su left right away, ah. He has secret missions to carry out, it’s impossible for him to stay here."

"What secret missions? A secret identity?"

"I can’t tell you that, not to say I don’t know, even if I did, I wouldn’t tell you."

Fang Che said with an air of righteousness and deep loyalty, "How could I possibly betray my Big Brother Su?!"

"So this matter... it’s..."

Fang Che puzzled, "Isn’t it enough to confirm these people’s identities as members of the Heavenly God Sect?"

Enough!

More than enough!

Fan Tiantiao and Chen Ru Hai both smiled bitterly.

But dammit, this matter was full of doubts.

Besides, you’re from the Yixin Sect, dammit, and the Heavenly God Sect is also under the banner of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect like yours.

You’re slaughtering your own colleagues without feeling guilty?

These demon race folks from the Demon Sect are indeed not the same as us.

"So what are you doing now?" Chen Ru Hai looked at the carriage.

"I’ve killed demon race people from the Demon Sect, naturally, I have to drag the bodies and evidence back to the Martial Arts Academy to claim my reward. These are my points."

Fang Che said earnestly, "Though it’s everyone’s duty to slay demon folk, if I can get some benefits on the side, I won’t refuse either, after all, we’re risking our lives here."

Chen Ru Hai and Fan Tiantiao had faces as dark as iron.

You make it sound so reasonable!

It’s clear what happened.

A Heavenly God Sect stronghold.

Fang Che was targeted.

People from the Ximen Family colluded with the Heavenly God Sect to kill Fang Che.

Then the news leaked, and Su Yue found out.

Su Yue, worried about his brother being harmed.

So he came with his masters, and killed those who targeted his brother.

Then left behind evidence, left corpses, for his brother to go claim the reward.

Himself quietly retiring after the deed.

"Who are Su Yue’s master and senior fellow disciples?"

"Don’t know them, they were masked, one tall and skinny, the other also tall and skinny."

"Where did they go?"

"Don’t know."

"What did they say to you?"

"Er... I’m embarrassed to say, they were Big Brother Su’s words of thanks to me."

"..."

Chen Ru Hai and Fan Tiantiao cursed in their hearts simultaneously: Damn your grandpa!

Dammit, you even have things you’re embarrassed about!

Then they began a neighborhood investigation, where the neighbors were all trembling with fear.

With such a big commotion, who could sleep?

Those who were sleeping soundly got frightened awake.

Then there was this one sentence everyone heard.

Upon investigation by the Guardian Hall, many people testified that indeed, they heard this sentence.

"Brother Fang, I’ll leave this place to you. As your brother, I must carry out a secret mission and cannot reveal myself. Thank you for preserving the Su Family’s property; our brotherhood will continue in the future!"

Cause and effect tightly interwoven.

No loose ends.

You see, doesn’t all this evidence add up?

Fang Che, a great hero!

He stumbled into it, killed Ximen Xuri, and thereby foiled a grand conspiracy of the Heavenly God Sect. Otherwise, given Ximen Xuri’s talent, Baiyun Martial Academy would definitely have fostered him greatly.

If this matter were exposed in the future, it would have been a stain on Baiyun Martial Academy.

So, for Baiyun Martial Academy, Fang Che was also a great hero.

Turning the tide.

Avoiding future scandal.

And also ferreted out the stronghold of the Heavenly God Sect, killing all demon race people.

For both the Guardian Hall and Baiyun Martial Academy, this is a great feat!

And they even outed the Ximen Family!

For Xiangyun City, where the Ximen Family resides, this is an even greater achievement!

Many citizens, thanks to Fang Che’s actions this time, avoided a deadly disaster.

A merit greater than any!

Fang Che had made achievements, this was beyond doubt.

But to this, Chen Ru Hai and Fan Tiantiao, the two who knew the truth, only had aching teeth.

This dammit...

Upon meeting this guy Fang Che, they immediately start feeling upset.

Chen Ru Hai, with a dark face, asked Fang Che:

"So this matter..."

"I’ll cooperate with the Guardian Hall in making a record and explain everything; but the bodies and evidence need to be turned over to the Martial Arts Academy for further processing."

"As for whether or not to expose the matter of the Ximen Family and this Heavenly God Sect stronghold, I don’t understand either. The two Hall Masters can decide," Fang Che said humbly, "I’m young, and I don’t understand these matters. I’m content to have been able to make achievements."

Expose?

How could they possibly expose it?

This was a thread.

A thread that could be pulled to unravel big things!

Thinking of this, Chen Ru Hai and Fan Tiantiao no longer bothered with Fang Che and immediately returned to begin arranging for a lockdown to seal off the news.

Suddenly, it was all hands on deck.

At Fang Che’s end, two people from the Guardian Hall followed to escort the bodies, all the way to the White Cloud Martial Arts Academy.

It was also an opportunity to liaise with the Academy to facilitate future cooperation on this matter.

After all, since Guardian Hall had handled it, we couldn’t just back out now.

We had to get a piece of the credit.

This was a breakthrough in a major case!

...

An half past an hour later.

They arrived at the doorstep of the Academy.

It was now the hour of Huang.

But the Academy had already received the news.

People from the Reward and Punishment Department and Credit Recording Office were already waiting at the door.

Seeing Fang Che pull up with such a cart of corpses, everyone’s faces turned grim.

You just drag them over, all bloody like that, anyone would think this place was a Graveyard.

It was quite a horrifying sight.

Staff from the Academy began to identify the bodies, one by one.

Then they checked the evidence.

They verified the cultivation levels of the deceased.

They identified the Demon Sect demon race members.

Then they recorded the details in the archives, moved the bodies away for disposal, and sorted and kept the evidence.

Then, in accordance with the Academy’s regulations, they calculated the Points.

Just as the east was getting a slight glow, the points were tallied.

"All counted under your name?"

"Yes."

The man from the Reward and Punishment Department took a long look at Fang Che, "In total, twenty-six credits, two Innate Grandmasters, sixteen points, two ordinary Seventh Level Grandmasters, six points. Four Martial Masters, four points. That gives a total of twenty-six Points."

"No General Level?" Fang Che was surprised. Wasn’t there supposed to be a General Level among them?

"None."

"But these Innate Grandmasters... are they that cheap?"

Fang Che was astonished, "A Grandmaster is only worth eight Points?"

"Any problems you have, take them up with the Mountain Master; we’re just here to record and distribute, not to explain," said the Reward and Punishment official with a face as stoic as a coffin board, giving Fang Che a dead-fish stare.

Do I really need to bother the Mountain Master with such trifles?

Alright, Fang Che didn’t dare go.

"You’re done here, wait for your classes."

"I’ve been busy all night..."

"So? Does that mean you can skip classes?"

"I mean, I’ve been busy all night ridding the people of harm, I’m full of energy, and I’m definitely attending classes to study hard."

"...Heh."

The person from the Reward and Punishment Department left.

They needed to report quickly, after all, the fact that the Ximen Family was a vassal to the Heavenly God Sect was no small matter.

But what he didn’t know was that the higher ranks of the Academy were already aware of this...

And they were secretly tightening control and preparing to act, with some experts already concentrated there...

After daybreak, countless people cried and wailed in front of Lv’s Bank. These were the ones who had business dealings with the place or had their money stored there.

But for such matters, even Fang Che was at his wits’ end: would it have been any use to stop Qian Sanjiang and Sun Yuan when they were taking the money?

It definitely involved the innocent, but regarding this, there was no solution at all.

They could only transfer the issue to the local government to see if there was any way to remedy it or some other method to pacify the situation...

...

That same afternoon.

Yin Shen Palace urgently communicated with the Heavenly God Sect Leader.

"Old Kou, I’ve got news related to your Heavenly God Sect."

The Heavenly God Sect Leader Kou Yifang was not in the mood, "What?!"

His own Heavenly God Sect’s seed planted in the Baiyun Martial Academy had been inexplicably slaughtered during the grand competition!

Kou Yifang felt quite aggrieved.

He felt a surge of irritation with nowhere to vent, and now Yin Shen Palace had come knocking.

Yin Shen Palace, however, appeared very good-natured, chuckling, "I hear that, that Ximen Xuri, was your seed? The one who got slaughtered?"

"!!"

That hit a sore spot.

Kou Yifang’s anger flared even more, "You got a problem with that?"

"No problem, hmm... I also hear that the Ximen Family, they’re your vassal Family?"

Yin Shen Palace continued to chuckle.

"Yin Shen Palace! Just spit it out if you’ve got something to say!"

Kou Yifang’s breathing turned harsh.

Left and right it’s ’I heard this’, ’I heard that’, all in that annoyingly sly tone, who the hell do you think you’re snickering at?

"Hehehehe..."

Yin Shen Palace couldn’t contain his glee, "Old Kou, you really should thank me. The moment I received this information, I came straight to tell you. This is no small matter."

Kou Yifang got a sense that something was off, "What’s going on?"

Yin Shen Palace let out a howl-like laugh, "Old Kou, you guys have been carelessly sloppy in your work. Such a big deal, and you don’t even know? Ho ho ho... You’re in for it! At the very least, your Essence Qi will suffer greatly, let me tell you."

"Uh..."

Kou Yifang quickly calmed his breathing, laughing as he said, "Old Yin ah..."

"Hmm? Old Yin or Old Yin?"

"Uh, Brother Yin!"

Kou Yifang changed his tune completely, "Brother Yin is so magnanimous, wouldn’t pick on a little brother like me, what exactly happened? Please do enlighten me, Brother Yin."

"Seeing how obedient you are..." Yin Shen Palace drew out his breath.

"Yes, yes, yes." Kou Yifang put on a servile smile.

Cursing inwardly, once you’re done, if it’s nothing important, I’m going to curse out all your ancestors.

"Your Ximen Family matter, Baiyun Martial Academy got wind of it, you might want to investigate the exact reason; and I have contacts within the Baiyun Martial Academy... This just happened today."

"Ah?" Kou Yifang was shocked.

"And now Baiyun Martial Academy and Guardian Hall are sealing off and preparing for a big catch in the Ximen Family area... Don’t say I didn’t warn you."

Yin Shen Palace boasted smugly.

And Kou Yifang immediately got anxious, "Thank you for the heads-up, Brother Yin; I owe you one!"

He said and hurried off to get busy.

Yin Shen Palace leisurely sent another message, "Let’s help each other out more in the future!"

Kou Yifang breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course, of course, thanks a lot."
