Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 15: How Can Commonfolk Be Compared to Our Young Master?

You Longchang was indeed tired, so he respectfully bowed once more to Fang Chen before taking his leave.

A person quietly appeared beside Fang Chen. Looking at him with a sympathetic expression, she slowly approached him and gently massaged his shoulders. Young master, Ye Qinghe has taken Xiao En. Hes making use of this opportunity to fawn on Greenpine Country while dealing with you.

You didnt need to come personally. I have already received the news. The people of Great Xia might swallow me alive if they see you here. Fang Chen chuckled.

The woman blushed. Young master, what are you saying

Youre Jade Fairy; your suitors easily line up from Great Xias capital to the doors of Greenpine Countrys Xiao Clan, Fang Chen said.

How can those commonfolk be compared to young master? Jade Fairy harrumphed. Young master, Tie Ma has returned to the team. When can I finish my mission and return to your side? Id rather be your maid, massaging your back and washing your legs, than to smile at those disgusting insects.

Soon. Fang Chen smiled. He took out a Flitting Talisman, Strength Talisman, and Protection Talisman each and passed them to Jade Fairy, saying, Were in a dangerous period, and you havent reached second stage Ki Explosion yet. Activate them with your ki if anything happens. Theyll help you.

This is? Jade Fairys interest was piqued.

Talismans. Your young master has taken a step into immortal cultivation. You can think of it as an alternative path, Fang Chen replied. He suddenly paused. Someones coming. You should leave.

Ill be taking my leave. Jade Fairy stowed away the talismans before taking her leave. Despite her lower martial cultivation, her proficiency in movement skills was amazing.

Xu Ge slowly pushed a wheelchair over from afar.

As the sun came up, the civilians gathering around to watch the commotion gradually increased. They couldnt help but be perplexed when they saw Fang Chen still seated amidst the ruins.

Chener, who are you waiting for? Fang Chens second uncle, Fang Cangyou, asked.

Yesterday, the empress arrived at the Fang Clan and informed them that Fang Chen had regained his martial cultivation and chased Fairy Xiao out of the capital. Following that, they learned that Fang Chen had his a group of men to purge the capital of Greenpine martial artists.

Due to that, the Fang Clan had been busy for the entire night.

Fang Cangyou hadnt slept a wink. As soon as he was done with his work, he had Xu Ge bring him over to meet Fang Chen.

Xu Ge, why did you bring my second uncle to a place like this? Fang Chen frowned. Take him back to the manor.

Yes, young master. Xu Ge began pushing Fang Cangyou back.

Wait, wait! Fang Cangyou exclaimed.

However, Xu Ge only obeyed Fang Chens orders. He paid no heed to Fang Cangyous words.

Chener, let me speak my piece first! Fang Cangyou roared angrily.

Go ahead, second uncle. Fang Chen directed a nod at Xu Ge, and the latter halted.

I have ties with the Court of Great Brilliance. I used to have a post there. Ill wait here with you for them, Fang Cangyou said. They wont dare to cause a fuss as long as Im here.

He had already guessed whom Fang Chen was waiting for.

There had been no reaction from the imperial palace and the other factions regarding yesterdays matter, but there would be a silent showdown after daybreak, and Fang Chen would be at the center of it all.

Xu Ge, take second uncle back to the manor, Fang Chen instructed.

Fang Cangyou flew into a rage. He swore and cursed, but Xu Ge ignored him as if he was deaf. Soon, the two of them had left the area.

Shortly after they disappeared from the street, the Court of Great Brilliances constables arrived from the other direction and surrounded the ruins of the destroyed Greenpine Superior Dojo. These black-clothed constables had wary expressions as they tightly gripped their sabers.

Their superior, under the escort of a few constables, quickly made his way up to Fang Chen.

War God Fang. The official from the Court of Great Brilliance clasped his fist and bowed.

Take this list. The names that have been ticked are already dead. Take your time to tally it.

Fang Chen passed over a piece of paper filled with words. He had written this list in between his talisman drawing. Tie Mas name was also inside, but it had been ticked.

The official from the Court of Great Brilliance looked at the list, and his face slowly turned pale. The constables with him also exchanged looks. There was a sliver of respect in their eyes when they looked at Fang Chen.

Of a thousand Greenpine martial artists, only one survived The official from the Court of Great Brilliance smiled bitterly. War God Fang, youre putting me in a spot. Im under orders to apprehend you to the Court of Great Brilliance for investigation.

The Court of Great Brilliance was Great Xias enforcement arm. Unlike the Bureau of Justice, the Court of Great Brilliance only dealt with people of high standing. In particular, the Court Master specifically handled cases relating to the imperial family and their relatives.

The current Court Master was the incumbent emperors younger brother, the Fifth King.

Theres still one alive, Fang Chen replied. Lets deal with him first before I follow you to the Court of Great Brilliance.

The official pursed his lips. War God Fang, please dont make things difficult for me. Ill be punished if I dont take you down today.

Did the Court Master specifically state when you should bring me back? Fang Chen asked.

Uh The official was caught off guard by the question. The Court Master doesnt seem to have mentioned anything on that front.

He didnt say anything, right? Dont worry, Ill follow you to the Court of Great Brilliance today. You may come with me if youre worried, Fang Chen said as he got up and walked away.

Milord, what do we do? a constable asked with a suppressed voice.

I dare not forcefully apprehend him. Lets be patient since War God Fang said that hell follow us back once he settles this matter, the official replied.

Just then, a constable rushed over and reported, Milord, Imperial Uncle Lis son, Li Huang, was also in Greenpine Superior Dojo, and he has been severed from the waist down

This will be troublesome the official murmured with a frown as he followed Fang Chen with his men.

As they marched on, they realized that the scenery around them looked familiar. In the end, Fang Chen stopped right in front of a grand manor.

Isnt this the Minister of MIlitary Personnels manor?! The official was stumped.

By then, Fang Chen had already knocked on the doors.

In the manor, the Minister of Military Personnel, Ye Dongming, was having a meal with his family. As their clan observed the custom of silence over food, no sound could be heard over the dining table.

Old master W-War God Fang is knocking on our door an old servant ran over with a flustered expression.

Clang!

A few people dropped their bowls on the table, but they quickly snapped out of it and turned to Ye Dongming.

Whats Fang Chen doing here? Wasnt he slaughtering Greenpine martial artists last night? Why did he come to their manor? Could he be harboring a grudge over that matter back then?

Ye Qinghe turned to Ye Dongming with feigned composure. Father, should we meet him?

What business does Fang Chen have with me? Ye Dongming frowned. Seconds later, he slowly got up. Ill meet him. Let me see what he is up to.
