Monarch Night

Tang Zheng said, "Whether others know or not, I don't know."

"Does the Hall Master know? How did this come about?"

"Because the Hall Master never asked, and no one else knows when Steward Zhao was taken away; he didn't even apply for leave at the Steward Hall; so it must be that the higher-ups know about this matter. Our Steward Hall is under the War Hall, I asked my brother-in-law, and he said he didn't know."

"So, it's the Hall Master who knows."

Tang Zheng's analysis is methodical.

Fang Che couldn't help but sigh, indeed... everyone has their own uses.

People like Tang Zheng, although they may not excel in combat or other areas, have an absolute talent for gathering information, especially gossip!

Fang Che is now pondering one thing: which side Zhao Ying'er is on.

Although he is handsome, Zhao Ying'er had given him a letter shortly after he arrived.

Fang Che still feels a bit of doubt about this.

Even though my charm is great, in matters of finding a partner... shouldn't girls be more reserved?

Or perhaps, there should be a period of observation first.

If it's just love at first sight based on looks... Fang Che shakes his head.

As the female steward in the Guardian Hall, choosing a lifelong partner, how could she be so rash and superficial?

In other places, even at Baiyun Martial Academy, Fang Che wouldn't find it surprising, but in the Guardian Hall, in the eyes of those who have witnessed life and death...

This speed is still a bit too fast.

"Never mind, she'll come back one day sooner or later."

Fang Che thought silently to himself.

...

As he walked, he came to the restaurant where Steward Fang drank with Zhao Wushang and Zheng Yunqi that day, and Fang Che gazed at it intently.

Suddenly, he felt a bit clear-minded.

When the heart is unsettled, there must be something up.

Nothing is happening at home, at Baiyun Martial Academy, or at the Guardian Hall.

Moreover, all of these could contact him at any time.

So, the only ones not contacting him must be the Escort Agency.

Could something be happening at the Escort Agency?

Seeing that it was only afternoon, Fang Che pondered for a moment and said, "Tang Zheng, take what you've just noted back and have them make corrections. I have something to attend to and won't return to the hall this afternoon."

"Yes!"

Tang Zheng stood at attention.

Fang Che turned and left, his black cloak fluttering, with a golden star shimmering at the collar.

Facing the sunset, he seemed to be glowing.

Everyone he met on the way showed respect and greeted him.

Those who knew him were even more enthusiastic.

"Mr. Fang! Mr. Fang personally patrolling again?"

"Hello Mr. Fang, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Fang."

"Mr. Fang..."

Fang Che smiled and greeted them.

Returning home, Ye Meng was a bit surprised, "Why come back so early today?"

"Something came up."

Fang Che hurriedly entered the study, "Don't disturb me until evening."

Ye Meng pouted.

She had wanted to tell him she had broken through to Marshal Level fifth grade.

But it seemed like he was off to be a Leader again... humph, as if I didn't know.

But Ye Meng quickly went into deep thought.

Why did Fang Che go to the sub branch this afternoon, before it was even dark?

Could something be happening over there?

Ye Meng furrowed her brows.

She then went back to her room and wrote a report.

If her guess was correct, then something must have happened at the Yixin Sect Branch, worthy of Fang Che's urgent attendance... it must be very important.

...

Fang Che changed his clothes, transformed into Yin Xiu, the Chief of the Escort, also known as the Starlight Master, and slipped out, discreetly making his way through several streets before openly walking down the main street.

Yin Xiu, the Chief of the Escort, was quite famous now in Baiyun State.

No need to hide.

As he walked, the closer he got to the Escort Agency, the more greetings he received.

As the Chief, he maintained an air of dignity, flaunting a face that looked even uglier when he smiled, boldly smiling all the way.

But everyone along this path was used to it.

They all laughed heartily.

At most, they would go home and have a nightmare about that ugly face at night.

Entering the Escort Agency.

The Chief asked the guard, "Any unusual occurrences today?"

"Unusual occurrences?"

The guard was puzzled, "Everything is normal, haven't felt anything unusual."

The Chief was bewildered, "Nothing at all?"

"Same as usual, just receiving bosses, discussing business, practicing martial arts... those on escort duty have already left. Not sure if any are leaving this afternoon."

Fang Che felt puzzled.

Something's not right, I rushed here, yet nothing's happening?

With a heart full of doubt, he walked further in.

Everything was normal.

Then he reached the main hall, sat on the throne, frowning in thought: where exactly is the problem?

...

The Chief had arrived.

Suddenly, the Escort Agency was in a commotion, and everyone with reports rushed over.

Because the Chief was like a Divine Dragon, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.

Often, even if there was a critical issue, they couldn't find him, but now that he was finally here, everything would be resolved in that moment.

In finance, Wu Lianlian also hurried over.

"The Chief has arrived, those with matters, hurry up."

A string of notifications.

In the guest room, the four people from the Yin Shen Palace had strange smiles on their faces.

Zhou Mei'er was a bit confused, she also heard that the Chief had arrived, but why did the four people have such odd expressions?

"Your Chief seems to have arrived."

Yin Shen Palace said calmly, "Should we go out to greet him?"

"Why would we do that? You four guests can sit here comfortably, I'll report to the Chief, he'll handle matters quickly, and will come to see the four bosses in no time."

Zhou Mei'er apologized with a smile as she got up, "Please sit for a while."

Then she walked out.

The etiquette was still impeccable.

In the guest room, only the four from Yin Shen Palace remained, looking at one another, all elder men, laughing heartily.
