Lord of the night.

Chapter 689 The Sorrow of the Old Thief [Additional chapters 43 and 44 for the Golden Alliance Leader Wise Haichen]

at last……

Just as Fang Che walked to the door of the inspection hall, a breath of breakthrough came clearly.

Ye Meng broke through to the monarch level.

Then, a dense and continuous breath lingered, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth madly gathered towards this side.

Yo?
Breakthrough?
Fang Che smiled and stopped at the door.

Wait for Ye Meng to break through and let the spiritual energy flow through the body to absorb the benefits.

In a moment, it had become a snowman.

After a long while, there was an excited scream, and Ye Meng and Zhao Ying'er hugged each other: "I made a breakthrough! Hahahaha..."

Then I heard a voice saying, "How could it be such a coincidence that I had a breakthrough right after I came back?"

There was a sense of infinite depression in his voice.

The two girls were shocked and turned around to see Fang Che standing in the snow behind them with a smile on his face.

There was another scream, and Ye Meng flew into Fang Che's arms: "You're back!? You're back!"

Fang Che also felt like he was coming home, and said with a smile, "I'm back."

We were very excited to meet again after such a long separation.

After a long time, he patted the snow and entered the room.

Suddenly, a warm breath surrounded the body.

"Oh, it's better to go home and feel comfortable."

Fang Che sat down on the chair, and Zhao Ying'er took his cloak and hung it on the hanger.

"Who of them is home?"

Fang Che asked.

"Feng Xiangdong, Xue Wanren, Qiu Yunshang, and Dong Yunyu, four of them are at home. But during the past few days when it snowed heavily, they were all helping out at Nirvana Martial Arts Academy."

Ye Meng explained: "I always return to Prince Fang's Mansion very late at night."

"Oh, you care about it very much." Fang Che felt relieved.

Since these guys are focusing their attention on Nirvana Martial Arts Academy, I can slowly withdraw.

Fang Che thought about this problem: He also needed to draw their attention and sense of responsibility towards Nirvana Martial Arts Academy.

"Why didn't I see Teacher Shen and Deputy Chief An when I came back this time?"

"It is said that our Southeast has sent out a search and rescue team of 16,000 people. Deputy Commander An has led the team into the mountains. Teacher Shen should be among them."

Ye Meng pursed her lips and smiled: "You didn't send a message to ask."

"I asked, and Mr. Shen said he was out on a mission. But he didn't say it explicitly."

Fang Che certainly wouldn't tell anyone that he was scolded for sending a message. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let me take a break and go out for a look. Join the search and rescue."

"Okay, let's see if you can take us out for a look."

"You guys should just forget about it. The office staff should just do their office work."

Ye Meng spread the news.

Not long after.

Feng Xiangdong and others also came back.

Everyone was extremely excited to see Fang Che.

We haven’t seen each other for a long time, and we are so affectionate!
"Boss Fang! You haven't been heard from for several months."

Because Fang Che's 'communication jade' was broken, everyone hadn't been in touch for a long time, a full six months, but in everyone's minds it felt like decades had passed.

"Hurry up and add my new communication jade." Fang Che started immediately.

"When will they come back?"

"They say they'll be back the day after tomorrow. It's mainly about the captured items. I heard those guys are pulling them back in the snow and wind."

Feng Xiangdong couldn't help laughing: "It's true that he would rather sacrifice his life than his wealth."

"That can't be helped. What can be left in Southeast is what belongs to Southeast. All the spoils I seized in Tiandu have been detained by the headquarters..."

"Boss Fang, the stories about Baiwuzhou and Tiandu are so exciting. Tell us more, tell us more."

So Fang Che started to blow.

When the brothers talked about the rectification of the southeast, they all felt deeply moved.

"You've all made rapid progress."

Fang Che couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Xue Wanren and Feng Xiangdong have both reached the sixth rank of the Venerable Rank. This is a bit too fast.

Moreover, the aura of fighting spirit and the toughness and iron-bloodedness that emanated from his bones were visible to the naked eye.

Dong Yunyu snorted and said, "What's the use? They're still beaten. These two guys tried their best to take advantage of the family and improve their cultivation. The two major families have almost become their logistics department, and this is the result."

Xue Wanren and Feng Xiangdong blushed: "You talk as if your boss didn't do anything wrong!"

Dong Yunyu sighed: "It's really not as good as you two who pounced on it like a leech and couldn't pull it off. I... I really didn't pull out much."

Everyone burst into laughter immediately.

Dong Yunyu's expression makes people laugh non-stop.

This guy had a very poor foundation in the family. He was given a lot of resources, but every time the Dong family gave Dong Yunyu resources, the expressions on their faces were like: good things are thrown into the toilet again...

That expression made Dong Yunyu feel embarrassed to ask for it later.

After a discussion.

Fang Che frowned.

Not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods.

These guys forcibly improved their cultivation, and it really had consequences! There was a mismatch between their combat power and their cultivation.

"Wanren, you can't do this. And Feng Xiangdong, both of you... are a little too impatient."

Fang Che was a little dissatisfied: "You are now at the sixth level of the Venerable Rank, but your combat power is far inferior to that of Xue Yihong, who is at the third level of the Venerable Rank."

After witnessing Xue Yihong's fighting power, Fang Che looked at Xue Wanren and clearly felt the gap.

So clear.

Xue Yihong has a solid foundation, amazing combat power, rich combat experience, and shockingly profound cultivation... none of them can be compared to Xue Wanren, who is of the sixth rank of the Venerable Level in front of him.

But Xue Yihong is only a third-grade Venerable.

"Boss Fang, please don't compare me to a monster."

Xue Wanren felt wronged: "Uncle Hong is a monster!"

"That won't work either!"

Fang Che shook his head: "You two have improved your cultivation level, but your foundation is too weak. Compared to ordinary warriors, you two are certainly solid, but why do you want to compare with ordinary warriors? Why can't you compare with geniuses? You are geniuses!"

"You two have made a mistake."

"You can't fight strong just because you have a high level of cultivation. What's the point of always competing for rankings among brothers? Isn't this battle in several continents enough to wake you up?"

"It must be shot down."

Fang Che said sternly: "No matter how you two get up, if you lose this foundation, you will never be able to catch up in the future."

"And you, what are you laughing at! Do you think you are solid?"

Fang Che scolded Dong Yunyu rudely.

Although Dong Yunyu is humble, he knows that a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him.

Fang Che thought about it, took out a pack of tea with great care, and then asked Ye Meng to boil water.

Afterwards, he drank six cups of tea with great care.

"Three cups of tea per person."

Fang Che said: "Drink it! It's good for you!"

It was the tea that Feng Yun had given me.

After drinking a cup of tea, the six people had different reactions. Zhao Ying'er exhaled a puff of gray mist, while Ye Meng directly exhaled a puff of gray smoke.

Xue Wanren directly spewed out a cloud of black smoke, and the wind was almost blowing to the east.

Although Dong Yunyu and Qiu Yunshang were not as powerful as Xue Wanren and Feng Xiangdong, they also exhaled a clear stream of smoke...

Then everyone suddenly realized that... as they continued to exhale smoke, their realm had actually dropped.

Xue Wanren actually fell directly from the fourth level to the second level of the Venerable level.

But the spiritual energy has become more condensed!
Others also fell.

"What kind of tea is this!"

Several people were shocked.

"Today's tea cannot be told to anyone. It is our guardian's top-secret tea! It is the reward I received in Tiandu City..."

Fang Che said solemnly.

"Yes."

Fang Che spoke seriously. Several people knew that this tea was precious and even the top leaders would not have much of it. If it were to be told to others, there would be endless troubles. So they all nodded.

"Hurry up and drink it. After you finish this drink, drink it again in a month."

Fang Che said sternly, "If you do anything reckless again, I won't have so much tea! Do you understand?"

He didn't want to take out the tea. It was given to Xingmang by Feng Yun, but he took it from Fang Che. Once it was exposed, everything would be exposed.

However, seeing that Xue Wanren and the others were at a superficial level, Fang Che finally took it out.

If this continues, the paths of these geniuses may become narrow.

Several people broke into sweat.

"me……"

Ye Meng was stunned and speechless.

I just broke through to the monarch level... After drinking a cup of tea, I became the seventh level of the emperor level!

Although the combat power is intact and even stronger, but... I want the first-grade monarch level!

The punishment of Fang Che, the beast...

He scolded Xue Wanren and the others severely, and then ordered them to practice on their own.

The combat capability of these guys has indeed been greatly improved during this reorganization, but their cultivation level has also been seriously advanced.

Although Fang Che knew very well that when facing dangerous moments, using extraordinary means to improve his cultivation was a life-saving option.

But... the problem is that these methods all have consequences.

This is also because I have this kind of tea in my hand, and I can make up for it, but what if I don’t have it? Wouldn’t my cultivation level just go up step by step in the wrong way?
However, the foundations of these grades are unstable and their bases are shaky, so they will exist forever!
Fang Che frowned. It seemed that Yu Zhongge, Mo Ganyun and the others would also drink once they came back.

These guys...

But as he thought about it, Fang Che couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Although he kept dragging others forward.

But now, he has to admit that the fighting power of Feng Xiangdong and others has been left far behind by himself.

The Southeast has been rectified.

It's time to disband the Life and Death Squad.

What is needed next is that everyone should disperse across the continent, go to the southeast, northwest, northeast and other directions, and continue to patrol life and death, with each person being responsible for an area.

But these guys clearly lack cultivation.

He has Sun Wutan as his backer, but others don't.

I wonder what Jiu Ye thinks about this?
That night.

Everyone got together and had a meal.

After Feng Xiangdong and the others realized the gap, the four of them agreed to work hard on polishing their skills.

Fang Che and Ye Meng Zhao Ying'er slowly walked towards Prince Fang's mansion in the wind and snow.

"You're a little harsh today." Ye Meng whispered.

"That can't be helped. I also know the difficulties and dangers of them rectifying an entire continent alone. It is understandable that they have to quickly improve their cultivation to deal with the crisis, but... people are like that."

Fang Che sighed and said, "You can do anything when you are in danger, but after the danger is over, you will think about the future and the future of martial arts."

When I returned to Prince Fang's Mansion, I saw a figure sneaking out.

"Stop!"

Fang Che immediately stopped the old thief who was running out in the snow and wind: "You come to my house to steal things again!" "Bullshit!"

Sikong Dou was so angry that his eyes were crossed. "What can be stolen in this empty place of yours? A mouse would come out with tears in its eyes. It's better to go to your inspection hall than to steal things from here!"

"I know you're here to steal the child."

Fang Che glanced at them with disdain and asked, "How many did you steal?"

It would be better if you didn't mention this.

When this topic was brought up, Sikong Dou's heart was filled with tears. He shook his head, said nothing, and walked away with a sad face.

In the wind and snow, a lonely figure was left behind.

"What's wrong with him?" Fang Che asked Ye Meng.

"He came every few days to teach the kids how to practice martial arts, and he was very attentive. But the kids only accepted his teachings, but not him as a person."

Ye Meng almost burst out laughing and said, "I asked the children, and Ren Dong said that everyone remembered a sentence he said. They wanted to beat him up when they thought of it. Because of that sentence, everyone would rather die than be his apprentice."

"What?"

"You are born to be a thief..."

Ye Meng and Zhao Ying'er were so happy that they couldn't stop laughing.

"Because of this sentence, the children... Tsk, the old thief was always very excited every time he came, but when he left, he always had a sad face like the one you saw today..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Fang Che couldn't help laughing.

I knew the old man would suffer a loss because of his words, but I didn't expect that the biggest loss he suffered was the sentence I witnessed.

Whoosh.

A snowball flew into Fang Che's laughing mouth like lightning.

In the wind and snow, Sikong Dou snorted and left angrily.

laugh?
What a laugh!
If you hadn't pushed me so hard that day, would I have said such words?

Isn’t it all your fault, Fang Che?

"Bah bah bah..."

Fang Che spit out the snowball. Damn it, he really didn't dodge it just now and it was stuffed directly into his throat.

If this was a hidden weapon intended to kill me, I would probably have died by now.

But Fang Che also knew that with the old thief's cultivation and skills, it would be basically the same whether he was prepared or not.

Met with the little ones and encouraged them.

Then, the three of them sat around the stove and talked for a while.

As the night was getting late, Zhao Ying'er tactfully said goodbye and went back to rest.

As soon as Zhao Ying'er left, Ye Meng's face suddenly turned bitter, with some anticipation and some fear.

"I did say so."

Fang Che said sanctimoniously: "If you can't reach the monarch level, you will be punished when you come back this time. Now, you really haven't reached it! So this punishment is absolutely unavoidable!"

Ye Meng was so angry that her face turned red: "I'm clearly here! You knocked me down with a pot of tea!"

"So has it arrived or not?"

"We're here!" Ye Meng said stubbornly.

"arrive?"

Fang Che smiled and said, "Since we are here, I will reward you! During this period of time, I will reward you every day!"

"..."

Ye Meng's face flushed red: "...Shameless!"

I never dreamed that whether I arrived or not, there would be rewards and punishments waiting for me.

And the rewards and punishments are actually the same...

Fang Che snorted.

Said: "It's been a long time, I need to take a good wash."

So I went in and took a shower.

In fact, it is to leave time for night dreams.

Sure enough, Ye Meng began to report and write down the intelligence, including the tea, other things, and the information revealed in the words, all of which were reported.

Send message.

Ye Meng sat in front of the dressing table and sighed.

There's something inexplicable about this feeling.

Her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Fang Che came out with wet hair, and while wiping his hair he laughed strangely.

"Did you eat the flowers?"

"Humph."

Of course I ate it.

As soon as Fang Che came back, he found Ye Meng's stunning beauty. She was several levels better than before. Even her skin, eye waves, and eye whites...

There have been obvious improvements, even the hair has an indescribable sense of life.

I've been itching for a long time.

And...Ye Meng should have sent out the information a long time ago.

Fang Che felt even more confident: every time at this time, this girl would always be obedient.

"Let me see how much has changed."

Fang Che reached out and touched it.

Ye Meng was just as Fang Che had expected. As soon as he delivered the information, he felt guilty and offered almost no resistance, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.

Fang Che set up a soundproof barrier and feasted on the food.

Fighting selflessly with a spirit of sacrifice.

The enemy army was quickly defeated, and Fang Che took advantage of the situation to pursue them with an overwhelming force and the spirit of a mountain crushing the top of one's head. He killed them in a rout, and the enemy was completely routed and begged for mercy.

Fang Che no longer controlled his killing intent and launched the final attack.

a long time……

Ye Meng finally recovered, rolling her eyes and breathing heavily. She tilted her head like a kitten and rested it on his shoulder.

His body was still trembling slightly.

Fang Che comfortably entered a sage-like state, and even felt that his brain became active at this moment.

I was actually able to sort out some of the things that I couldn't figure out before.

I have to say that the time after being tired and relaxed is conducive to thinking.

Because at this moment, all considerations of beauty, wealth, status, etc. in the world do not exist at all.

The mind is clear, like a dry well with no waves, just like a high monk who has attained enlightenment, with the four elements being empty.

Ye Meng felt so tired that she was about to fall asleep, but she remembered something and forced herself to stay awake. She weakly tapped Fang Che's chest with her fingers and said, "I have something... to ask you, how do you feel about Ying'er..."

"What do you mean?" Fang Che was stunned.

"Don't you know how Ying'er feels about you?"

Ye Meng said sadly: "I...I can't do it myself."

Ye Meng had been trying very hard to monopolize it, to prove that she could fully bear it with her own strength, but now, she had given up in despair.

Because... I can't stop it.

"I've always known what Zhao Ying'er is thinking."

Fang Che frowned and said, "As a man, having a beautiful woman fall in love with you is something worth being proud of, regardless of whether you accept it or not."

"That's why I gave you two golden flowers. This is also because of my nature as a man."

Fang Che said: "But...I have always been concerned about her background."

This is Fang Che’s true thought.

He is sober.

On the one hand, it is natural for men to feel complacent about being favored by beautiful women, and I am no exception.

But on the other hand, the vigilance that has always existed in my heart has not disappeared until now.

When it comes to women, Fang Che has no intention of being a saint.

However, he was deeply wary of Zhao Ying'er's background.

Fang Che would never dare to take action until this vigilance was eliminated.

Having one person in your dream is enough; at least this dream is about someone you allow, someone you know well, and who acts as a spy around you.

But if it was Zhao Ying'er... would she also keep spreading the news? To whom?

This is uncontrollable.

Therefore, no matter how lustful Fang Che is, he will not really take action against Zhao Ying'er until the matter is completely clear.

Ye Meng said: "We have discussed her background, but we haven't made it clear. However, Ying'er promised that she would not be the opposite."

Fang Che sneered: "What's the use of guarantees."

He embraced Ye Meng's smooth and soft body and said, "It's not that I'm not tempted, but... let's talk about this later."

"it is good."

Ye Meng also knew Fang Che's concerns.

Had to give up.

But then he screamed: "You...you...why are you..."

Fang Che said helplessly: "There's nothing I can do about this. Who told you to become so beautiful after eating that flower..."

Ye Meng struggled hard: "I really can't do it today, really... mmm..."

early morning.

Fang Che practiced swordplay in the snow with a relaxed mind and body.

The nine little ones watched with affection and admiration. Ren Dongxiao held a glass of water in his hand, wanting to offer it to his big brother when he got tired.

But Fang Che was practicing with the sword, and the little girl kept holding the water until it got cold, so she quickly poured it out and ran back to get a steaming hot cup and continued to hold it and wait.

After a long time, Fang Che stopped, steaming all over.

He walked up to the little girl, took the water, took a big sip, and said, "It tastes good!"

The little girl's eyes narrowed immediately and she smiled extremely happily, as if she had done something great.

"You are already a warrior of the fourth or fifth rank... work harder. It is April now, and I will send you to the martial arts academy in July!"

Fang Che calculated that by that time, basically all nine little guys would be martial artists.

It’s enough to enter the martial arts academy.

The foundation is already sufficient. Although I’m a little young, it doesn’t matter.

"go to school?"

The nine little ones had sparkling eyes.

They had never dreamed that they would have the opportunity to go to school in this life! Now, hearing these words from Fang Che, their eyes suddenly turned red with joy.

Hug each other and cheer.

Zhao Ying'er stood in the heavy snow, quietly watching this heartwarming scene, her eyes full of envy.

It was obvious that Fang Che was accepting of her to some extent, but the vigilance in his heart had not disappeared at all. Zhao Ying'er felt this very clearly.

But she didn't care.

Fang Che's current attitude is the truly correct attitude. If he were so easily seduced by beauty, Zhao Ying'er would look down on him instead.

But sooner or later, he will understand that he is his natural comrade, not his opponent. But this requires the catalysis of various events.

There is no need to rush.

Moreover, the future is full of various life-and-death crises. If he were to fall in love now, Fang Che would have to constantly be affected by the ups and downs of his own life and death, which would not be good for his future in martial arts.

Leave everything to time.

Leave it to fate.
