Chapter 96: Chapter 55 Sect Hierarch, you must reward me_2

"This is quite obvious,"

"Of course, Huo Churan is an exception. But this exception reinforces our reasoning for not getting close to your cousin. At a glance, he seems like a gentleman, but that’s only when no one has crossed him. In reality, he bears grudges and acts mercilessly and decisively, without toleration or patience."

"Our respective families have all assessed him: extremely dangerous! Because such a person is clear on what he wants and fully aware of all his objectives."

"Moreover, among the many female students at the Martial Arts Academy, there are those who are stunningly beautiful, divinely lovely, and have the appearance of a full moon; plenty of them. However, your cousin treats them all the same as he treats us..."

Wang Bingbing said with frustration, "We, the female students, have watched and discussed this many times and came to a conclusion: it seems like your cousin Fang Che’s mind is completely devoid of any notion of ’romantic affection.’"

Fang Qingyun furrowed his brow, "Is that so?"

"Of course it is!"

Smoothly changing the subject without giving himself away, Fang Qingyun turned to ask, "Wan Zhimei, what do you think?"

The girl in red called Wan Zhimei smiled and said, "Perhaps."

She was still somewhat distracted.

Primarily because Fang Che had said three times during the banquet,

"Fight the Demon Sect!"

"Exterminate the Demon Sect!"

"Kill all the little demons!"

Each of these statements made Wan Zhimei feel uncomfortable.

Because she knew her own identity, she was a member of the Yixin Sect; she and her family had long joined the Yixin Sect!

Fang Che’s words were severely offensive! Every time she heard them, her heart felt uneasy.

Especially during the banquet, when he looked at her and spoke of ’assisting each other,’ ’supporting each other,’ and ’entrusting our lives to one another.’

Hmph.

Wan Zhimei’s reaction made Fang Qingyun’s heart sink a little, and his eyes grew deeper.

Perhaps?

What does ’perhaps’ mean?

He must remind his cousin again that this woman, he must not get involved with.

Who knows how many men she already has chasing her, just from what he personally knew, there were at least four or five.

Why should his cousin entangle with such a woman!

...

After Fang Che returned, he too was thinking.

Ding Jie Ran’s reaction was a bit strange.

Moreover, the feeling Ding Jie Ran gave him was not that of someone completely evil and beyond redemption.

And that Wan Zhimei...

Although she had been laughing along with everyone else, her smile seemed forced, and her eyes were evasive.

No one else responded like that.

Why only she?

Did he touch upon her sore spot?

This woman, he must observe with great attention.

He remembered, at the beginning of school, he had a vague feeling that this woman seemed very... distant.

Then he began to sort through his recent affairs.

The original plans had almost all been discarded.

Indeed, plans can never keep up with changes.

He couldn’t use his role as the team leader to summon other Yixin Sect members. That disrupted the plan.

Not being able to go out on missions recently, another plan relating to the Golden Horned Flood Dragon was disrupted.

And acquiring something with divine nature, he couldn’t manage it. Even after inquiring further, he became even more confused.

A third plan disrupted.

So what he could do was not much.

Huo Churan and his family still needed further strengthening; it would be best to have Huo Churan provoke the strength of the San Sheng Sect, while he used the power of the Yixin Sect to protect himself and clash with the San Sheng Sect.

Additionally, Ximen Xuri’s Heavenly God Sect should be taking action soon. When it comes, fight it out!

By the way, taking heads to complete missions: this isn’t a mission I actively sought out, but one where they came to kill me, and I killed them instead; surely you can’t penalize me for exceeding the mission scope, right?

But these things are not easy to accomplish, further strategies are needed...

And then there was Wan Zhimei.

And then Ye Meng’s cultivation.

And then the matter of the undercover Yixin Sect members in the upper echelons of the Martial Arts Academy had to be treated as a long-term project.

And then I had to go to the Martial Arts Academy’s Dian ji Building to look for something that would allow a soul body to cultivate, to see if there was such a thing.

After all, it probably wouldn’t do for the Golden Horned Flood Dragon to train blindly on his own.

It wasn’t until late at night that Fang Che laid out a new plan for himself, clear about each step and how to proceed.

How to move forward without alerting the Yixin Sect and still manage to systematically cut off some of the Demon Sect’s wings while pushing myself upwards.

Whether it was in the Yixin Sect or as a Guardian, I should push myself upwards.

The higher, the better.

Some points at the Martial Arts Academy are special, such as those awarded for killing Demon Sect members or for fugitive pursuit missions. Even if they are spent, they will still accumulate in the records.

After graduation, they will be handed over to the unit I join and used to gauge future positions.

Currently, my accumulated points only amounted to a meagre twenty-six.

Merit Points.

These are universally referred to as ’future points’ among all the students of the Martial Arts Academy.

They can only be earned through special tasks like demon slaying. For example, the twenty points I accidentally earned by rescuing the citizens of Xiangyun City cannot be counted here.

Similarly, the three experts sent by the Huo Family to kill me did not count toward the points because their identities were unclear, and it couldn’t be considered the slaying of San Sheng Sect demons.

It could only be called a Jianghu grudge killing.

"Only twenty-six points."

Fang Che felt a bit melancholic.

Although he was well aware that his twenty-six points had already surpassed everyone in the first year and the vast majority in the second year,

twenty-six points were still too few.

How little was that?

Those people in the Guardian Hall, wasn’t each of them loaded with merits? There were those with tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of points.

Twenty-six... simply too few!

Fang Che was highly dissatisfied.

Getting up at dawn,

the first message Fang Che sent was to the Yin Shen Palace.

"Reporting to the Sect Hierarch, subordinate Yemo reports that because I have broken through from martial master to Wuzhong, becoming the first new student to achieve this, and was commended by the Martial Arts Academy with award points. I am thankful for the Sect Hierarch’s cultivation."

Upon receiving the message, the Sect Hierarch of Yin Shen Palace, who was already preoccupied with heavy matters at the Headquarters, nearly burst out laughing.

Damn, this report couldn’t be more obvious in its purpose!

This kid was clearly seeking a reward!

Since the breakthrough had already been reported once and I hadn’t said anything,

he now mentioned being commended by the Martial Arts Academy, implying what, that you would give when others had?

Such a small trick, who could it fool?

Mu Lin Yuan was beside him and saw the Sect Hierarch suddenly switch from a gloomy face to an expression of amused helplessness. He couldn’t help but become curious, "Sect Hierarch?"

"It’s Yemo."

The Yin Shen Palace frowned, "This kid is asking me for a reward. Take a look."

Mu Lin Yuan leaned in for a look and also couldn’t help but laugh, "He really thought he was being subtle with this little trick."

"Ha ha ha..."

The Yin Shen Palace couldn’t help but laugh and said, "He means, ’Sect Hierarch, I have brought honor to you, the first to break through to Wuzhong; even the Baiyun Martial Academy rewarded me, you can’t show no appreciation, right?’ He really used the word ’report!’"

"Then... the Sect Hierarch should show some appreciation."

Mu Lin Yuan speculated on the Yin Shen Palace’s thoughts.

"Of course."

The Yin Shen Palace said, "Give him fifty points as a reward, and just express some gratification. Isn’t that what the little bunny wants?"

Mu Lin Yuan said, "With seven hundred points now, adding fifty will soon make seven hundred and fifty."

"Seven hundred and fifty, huh?"

The Yin Shen Palace was taken aback for a moment.
