Chapter 71: Chapter 36: It’s Your Treat (Revised)

Kou Yifang was anxious and flustered, and as soon as the communication was cut off, he hurriedly got busy.

This was indeed a major incident.

As for owing a debt of gratitude to the Yin Shen Palace, that was truly sincere.

After all, upon introspection, Kou Yifang knew very clearly that had he known about the troubles plaguing the Yixin Sect, he most certainly would not have given a warning!

Yet the Yin Shen Palace had taken the initiative to alert them.

Kou Yifang felt a myriad of emotions.

Even though the Yin Shen Palace was commonly referred to as Old Yin by everyone, they were still clear-headed when it came to important matters.

This favor must be acknowledged.

"People from Old Yin are exceptionally visionary..."

Everyone would trip one another up in ordinary times, but it was a moment for reflection upon seeing how the Yin Shen Palace acted when it mattered.

Kou Yifang sighed.

He immediately began making arrangements.

He dispatched a few experts, "Hurry, clean up the mess!"

When such an incident occurred, if it were left to the Guardian, the priority naturally would be to ensure the safety of the Ximen Family and retreat to a secure area.

Then he would engage in a prolonged stalemate, finding room to maneuver over time, striving to achieve an outcome that was satisfactory to all parties.

But if such a thing happened within the Heavenly God Sect, there was only one outcome: a snake bites the hand, and the brave must amputate the limb!

The Ximen Family could absolutely not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Guardian and provide a clue for the Guardian to trace back.

No matter how important the Ximen Family was, it was merely a vassal family, and at that, merely a ninth level family at that; dispensable.

Kou Yifang did not even deem them worthy of his concern: besides making some money, they were of no other use.

In such a case, killing them to silence them was indeed the correct choice.

And so, the plan to annihilate the clan was set in motion.

Three days later...

Many powerful figures stationed in Xiangyun City suddenly discovered...

The entire Ximen Family had been poisoned!

Men, women, and children, dead from foul play.

Yet no one understood how the poison was administered or who dealt the blow?

The security was so tight that even a fly’s gender could be determined upon entry, so where did the poison come from?

Although evidence of collusion with the Heavenly God Sect was, in fact, found among the remnants of the Ximen Family, confirming that "the Ximen Family is indeed a vassal of the Heavenly God Sect, and traitors to the continent," there was no joy of "cracking a major case against the Heavenly God Sect."

Everyone felt they had grievously failed in their duties.

Such a good lead, such an opportune moment, and it ended with only the elimination of one vassal family?

Chen Ru Hai bellowed like thunder.

Gao Qingyu erupted with fury.

Both berated their subordinates one after another.

When Fang Che heard the news, he too was dumbfounded.

Just cut down the Ximen Family?

Is this for real... are you guys joking?

What are you eating?

We had already told you: The people from the Heavenly God Sect are coming to silence them. Simply by watching over the Ximen Family, it’s like we’re besieging to rescue, no matter what, shouldn’t we be able to catch something?

How could we end up empty-handed?

In the evening, Sun Yuan came.

Fang Che yelled, "Ye Meng! My master is here, don’t you know to serve tea!?"

He gave her a kick that nearly spun her around.

He then attentively helped Sun Yuan into the study.

Sun Yuan sighed, "I’m telling you, kid, you have to be gentler with girls. Even if we’re from the Demon Sect, we can’t behave like this, can we? Who starts with kicks and punches?"

Fang Che rolled his eyes and said, "This girl owes her life to me, what’s there to fear from a kick... Ye Meng, right? You wouldn’t hate me, would you?"

"This servant wouldn’t dare."

"I thought you wouldn’t dare. Quickly fetch the good tea, and be attentive here."

Ye Meng hurriedly fetched the tea set and waited by the desk.

Fang Che and Sun Yuan sat at either side, with the fragrance of tea curling up into the air.

Fang Che then brought up the matter, "Master, I heard that the Ximen Family is all dead?"

"Indeed. They died cleanly," Sun Yuan took a teacup from Ye Meng and savored a sip.

"You see, that’s why our Demon Sect is impressive. The Guardian couldn’t detect anything, yet just like that, they were silently wiped out."

Fang Che laughed heartily and took a cup of tea from Ye Meng. He frowned, "It’s a bit hot." After taking a sip, he handed the cup back to Ye Meng, "Hold it."

"Yes." Ye Meng bowed her head and stood by, silent.

Sun Yuan chuckled, "What’s so strange about that? The Heavenly God Sect sent out the Poison King and the Snake King; the Poison King applied poison to the snakes, the Snake King controlled numerous snakes through a secret passage into the Ximen Family, then into every water source, and the other miscellaneous toxins mixed into the air worked with the water’s poison to take effect... In one night, the entire Ximen Family was exterminated."

Sun Yuan couldn’t praise the event enough, "The methods of the Heavenly God Sect are truly a model for our generation. So silent and sudden, a few hundred people from one family gone just like that. Deserves a commendation! Such techniques, even the Sect Hierarch is researching them. If our Yixin Sect encounters something similar in the future, we can use this method to carry it out. It’s really a huge energy saver."

Fang Che could only sigh, so that was how it happened.

Such methods were truly indefensible.

Not blaming our own incompetency, just cursing the enemy’s cunningness.

Ye Meng stood by, her head down, motionless.

After drinking another cup of tea, Sun Yuan smiled, "But it seems you’re a bit more at ease with this girl now, aren’t you?"

Fang Che caught on right away.

Before, he wouldn’t allow Ye Meng to serve when Sun Yuan visited, but now Sun Yuan was clearly teasing him with this change.

"She’s not an outsider to Master, and the girl’s a bit simple-minded, but still good enough for errands. It’s more relaxing than having to hustle by myself."

Fang Che laughed, "It’s like a new bride at home, initially hiding in the inner room when guests come, but as she gets to know the family, she can join in the conversations, haha, isn’t that right?"

As he spoke, he playfully pinched Ye Meng’s tender cheek, "Tsk, this girl is not bad at all."

Ye Meng’s face immediately blushed.
