Monarch Night

Dongfang Sansan frowned.

Truly, the gift was a dilemma.

If the gift was too insignificant, it couldn't be presented, especially when the Yin Shen Palace was surely gifting precious items.

If my gift was not as good as that of the great demon from Yin Shen Palace, wouldn't that be utterly humiliating?

But if the gift were too grand, it could arouse suspicion and increase the chances of Fang Che being exposed.

The Ninth Lord was troubled.

Previously, he never would have dreamed that he'd be racking his brains over such an issue.

For other people's weddings, even a piece of calligraphy written by Dongfang Sansan would be treasured like an heirloom, but... Fang Che was different. If he were to hang my calligraphy on the wall... it would undoubtedly be courting death.

"Give Ye Meng a Superior Marrow Cleansing Pill to cleanse the Poison Elixir, and then a Top grade Peiyuan Pill to replenish the origin; alas, these seem too light considering Fang Che's influence, but weigh heavily with Yueying's status. Just let Fang Che arrange it all."

"But what to give Fang Che?"

Dongfang Sansan remembered the intelligence stating that Fang Che had acquired a flying knife; he furrowed his brows. "A Deadly Thirteen Knives Secret Manual? Not enough, hmm... since he has the Divine Formless Jade in his possession, which he probably doesn't know how to use yet. Give him two God Fusion Pills and teach him how to use the Divine Formless Jade."

"He's already at Middle grade Martial Marquis level. Once he breaks through to King level, he should be able to handle it... Best if he reaches high grade King level or breaks through to Emperor Level before fusing with the Divine Formless Jade, otherwise the Evil Qi could destroy his sanity."

Dongfang Sansan's eyes shimmered and finally decided: "Let it be so."

At this moment, he somewhat regretted it. After Xue Fuxiao brought back the nearly extinguished Purple Crystal Soul, he forced himself to use it.

Because of this, his Divine Sense expanded and his soul power strengthened, allowing for longer-term planning.

But now it feels... it might have been better to give all that to Fang Che as well.

"What good are these things to me... alas. My schemes are already adequate... the continent's reserve strength is what's most crucial."

He sighed.

Dongfang Sansan immediately called for Xue Fuxiao.

No matter what, he needed him to run errands. Although it felt a bit awkward, there was really no one else who could be sent on this matter.

Yet a different excuse was needed, because if Xue Fuxiao realized he was being called just to run errands, he'd likely get mad.

So he had to be willing to do it.

"What do you need me for?"

Xue Fuxiao came in eagerly.

It wasn't common for Dongfang Sansan to summon him proactively, but today he was unexpectedly considerate, calling him out himself.

Lord Xue decided to give him the face.

"About that matter of the One Cave spear Demon you mentioned last time, I always felt something was off. You came back saying Duan Xiyang was deceiving you, and the real objective was the Purple Crystal Soul. I just remembered, this doesn't seem right."

Dongfang Sansan was quite experienced in dealing with Xue Fuxiao.

Without even batting an eyelid, he came up with a reason.

Xue Fuxiao was stunned, blinking as he said, "You mean, he didn't lie to me?"

"In matters like this, Duan Xiyang probably wouldn't deceive you. What I'm thinking now is... if we think along the lines of him deceiving you, it would actually cause us to ignore the situation. If someone from the Demon Sect sends an expert during our neglect and finds it in the Southeast... it would be very disadvantageous for us."

Dongfang Sansan said worriedly.

"This... is not necessarily true?" Xue Fuxiao hesitated.

"Last time, Duan Xiyang came personally, and what is Duan Xiyang's identity? He came alone to search this place, indicating how important the matter must be."

"But last time, Duan Xiyang said that the legacy of the One Cave spear Demon was not meant for him," Xue Fuxiao said.

"Look at you, where's your brain?"

Dongfang Sansan scolded skillfully.

The Ninth Lord always scolded two people: Xue Fuxiao and Rui Qianshan.

Because with his status, saying something like that to others would be too harsh! Others couldn't take it.

But Xue Fuxiao and Rui Qianshan were exceptions.

One was simple-minded, the other shameless, neither cared...

So Dongfang Sansan could only indulge in scolding them.

Sure enough, Xue Fuxiao scratched his head saying, "What does this have to do with brains?"

Dongfang Sansan lectured, "Duan Xiyang told you about the legacy of the One Cave spear Demon, he indeed did not lie to you, but when he said it wasn't meant for him, that was the lie. I ask you, is there anyone else in this world who understands spears better than Duan Xiyang?"

"No!" Xue Fuxiao shook his head honestly.

"So who is most likely to find this legacy?" Dongfang Sansan asked.

"Duan Xiyang," Xue Fuxiao replied.

"Exactly, and we think he was lying and gave up searching. Given Duan Xiyang's cultivation, without any obstruction, if he roughly knows the location, can he find it?" Dongfang Sansan slanted his eyes.

"He can! Definitely can!" Xue Fuxiao suddenly got nervous: "What... what do we do?"

"What to do!? You're asking me?"

Dongfang Sansan scolded angrily, "I ask you, in this world, among our Guardians, who knows Duan Xiyang's methods the best?"

"Me!" Xue Fuxiao answered without hesitation.

"If Duan Xiyang really came, who would be the first to find him?" Dongfang Sansan continued.

"Me!" Xue Fuxiao thumped his chest.

"If Duan Xiyang really found the legacy, who could stop him?" Dongfang Sansan asked again.

"Me!" Xue Fuxiao replied proudly, puffing his chest out.

"Then why haven't you gone?"

Dongfang Sansan glared, "Shouldn't you quickly scout the Southeast seven or eight times to ensure it's clear?"

"You're right, I was indeed careless about this matter."

Xue Fuxiao began to reflect.

"Go then."

Dongfang Sansan waved a hand.

"Got it!"

Xue Fuxiao flew out through the window with a swoosh!
