Monarch Night

These words are truly flawless.

Tang Zheng on the side was directly fascinated by what he heard!

Could such a thing actually happen?

This story is so convoluted it could be written into a novel.

Really... thrilling.

Fang Che turned his head to look at Tang Zheng, who was completely engrossed in the story, his eyes wide and his face full of amazement.

He couldn't help but sigh internally: It seems this fool already believes it all...

So he showed a smile and said, "In any case, you two have made a great contribution to our Baiyun State! Your noble character and unwillingness to fear the strong, I, Fang Che, admire greatly."

The two repeatedly said they dared not.

As they spoke, dishes were brought in succession, and the table was soon piled high.

"Please, Steward Fang, please taste it and see if it suits your taste?"

Zheng Yunqi warmly invited.

"Good!"

Fang Che smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and with an air of casual elegance, picked up a couple of bites, and praised, "The taste is good, very authentic."

His posture, speech, facial expressions, and eyes all exuded a kind of innate elegance and composure.

Handsome in appearance, graceful in demeanor, elegant in speech, composed in manner, dignified and at ease, full of the aura of a superior.

In stark contrast with the Starlight Master who spoke crudely, acted coarsely, constantly swore, and spat everywhere, blowing his nose with a tilt of his head!

One is like a beautiful jade tree in the wind, the other like a rock in a latrine.

One is like a bright moon in the sky, the other like a stinking ditch on the ground.

Zheng Yunqi and Zhao Wushang smiled along, both feeling that this Steward Fang was really... like an immortal.

Thinking of their own Starlight Master, they couldn't help but feel a disgust that made it hard to eat.

Truly, comparisons make people lose joy.

Looking at Tang Zheng beside them, he was already swallowing food voraciously, as if he hadn't had a decent meal in eight lifetimes, with a pile of meat bones stacked high in front of him.

His mouth chomping away... like feeding a pig.

They couldn't help but sigh internally.

Such a refined Steward Fang, yet he brought along such a companion... truly...

Truly tarnishing the elegance of Steward Fang.

Fang Che picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and chewed elegantly.

With his left hand, he picked up a wet napkin, gently wiped his mouth, and said with a smile, "Vice Chief Zheng."

"Don't dare don't dare, Steward Fang, just call me Yunqi."

"How can I be so bold?"

Fang Che smiled graciously and said, "I wonder, how many people were there in that group... who conflicted with your sect? Do you still remember?"

Zheng Yunqi coughed, exchanged a glance with Zhao Wushang, and seemed to think back thoughtfully, "About one hundred fifty or sixty people, I think."

Fang Che nodded: "That makes sense."

His handsome face was filled with worry, "I'm afraid during this time, I will still need to trouble the two of you and... the righteous people of the Worldwide Escort Agency to help. Try your best to find out all these people, otherwise, once they lurk down, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Zheng Yunqi and Zhao Wushang were right on target.

Keeping those people around made them feel unsafe.

"That's necessary! If Steward Fang has any matter, just say the word anytime, we will do our best."

"Thank you!"

Fang Che sincerely said, "Your righteousness, I toast you with tea instead of wine."

"Don't dare don't dare."

The two hurriedly stood up and drank it all in one go.

Fang Che's eyes showed compassion, his brows slightly furrowed, with a kind of anxiety that would make women feel heartache and men feel pleasing, said softly, "Actually, these one hundred fifty or sixty people are just one group."

"Ah?"

Zheng Yunqi and others timely showed expressions of shock and astonishment.

Could it be that Steward Fang actually wants us to help him get rid of all of them?

That is... too dangerous.

If we cooperate a little and kill a few annoying people, that should be enough.

Fang Che said calmly, "As far as I know, this action of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect is called, the Shi Family's sons go Southeast!"

"On the surface, more than ten thousand people came down, but in fact, there are over twenty thousand."

"The Southeast seventeen states, to not hide from you two, have now... become a land where demons gather!"

"Just the other night, the Yemo of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect suddenly appeared in Baiyun State, committed a major crime overnight, and then disappeared without a trace. But because of this, these families were originally targeting the Yemo."

"So they all turned towards Baiyun State!"

"Baiyun State now... is in peril. Under the calm blue skies, who knows how many Demon Sect demons are hidden!"

"So many demons are flooding in; first, it's hard to identify them, second, the hidden threat is huge, third... with the capabilities of the Guardian Hall, it's impossible to eliminate them all!"

"Looking at the Guardian Hall's continuous battles day and night during this period, only hundreds of demons have been slain, which is just a drop in the bucket compared to the vast overall number!"

"Weak water of three thousand, only a scoop has been taken!"

Fang Che's gaze was earnest: "You two, your Worldwide Escort Agency, I'm afraid in the future you'll also become a target for all. For our shared difficult challenge, please help me."

"A target for all?"

Zheng Yunqi's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes."

Fang Che said calmly, "This matter needs more righteous people to step in to eradicate the demonic presence."

"So, I plan to push the Worldwide Escort Agency out as a positive example."

Fang Che said, "Wouldn't that make you a target for all?"

Zheng Yunqi was directly shocked!

Damn!

A positive example??

You... you're selling us out?

And you say it so righteously?

We just delivered merit to you, how can you do this?

The two of them directly widened their eyes, dumbfounded.

Fang Che said calmly, "You two belong to the righteous people, for the contributions made to Baiyun State, I, Fang, thank you here."

He saluted solemnly, "But the demonic flames are overwhelming, it's not something a few people can reverse; nor is it achievable by one group or one sect. It's not something you and my younger brothers can establish in the realm."

"It requires the entire continent to unite to annihilate the demons."

"I will push out the Worldwide Escort Agency, which is certainly unfavorable to you, but it's a great thing for the hundreds of millions of people in Baiyun State. Moreover, I, Fang, have a bit of selfish intentions, hoping that your Yishan Sect can also join in, to deal with the Demon Sect together!"

Yishan Sect can issue identity proofs to so many demon sect disciples, so the identity of Yishan Sect is like the lice on a bald man's head, blatant.

How could Fang Che let go of such a big fish!?

He wanted to use this opportunity to bring down Yishan Sect directly!

Zheng Yunqi was completely dumbfounded, stammering, "But, but..."

"No buts."

Fang Che said righteously, "To annihilate the demons, even if we brothers spill our blood on Baiyun State, so what? A real man, if he must die, let him die, but this noble reputation and vigour will remain eternal between heaven and earth!"

Zhao Wushang's face was pale: "But..."

"Brother Zhao! I know you still have doubts in your heart!"

Fang Che said passionately, "But this is the trend of the times! This is the responsibility shouldered by us martial artists! This is our honor!"

Zheng Yunqi finally came back to his senses, with a bitter face, "Steward Fang, we still need to report this matter to the sect."

Fang Che said decisively, "What is there to report? Brother Zheng, the opportunity mustn't be missed, the time won't wait for us!"

He stood up and said, "I will start arranging this matter when I return. You two, make preparations early as well."

Zheng Yunqi was almost in tears, he never dreamed that... how did things suddenly become like this?

Damn...

How did I become a righteous person?

I don't want to die.

If this news gets back, how... how can we live?

If it's just secretly reporting a few people, they are already dead, naturally, there would be no evidence to suspect oneself.

But if Steward Fang promotes this...

This would truly be putting us on the line!

"Steward Fang, Steward Fang... let's discuss this further..."

Zheng Yunqi begged bitterly, holding onto Fang Che's sleeve.

Fang Che turned around, his gaze cold and suspicious, disappointed and heartbroken: "You... are unwilling to participate in such an action? Brother Zheng, this is a fame that will last for eternity! This is the glory that will be renowned for generations! This is the illustrious fame recorded in history!!"

Zheng Yunqi's face crumpled like a bitter gourd: "Steward Fang, we truly don't dare want such fame..."

"Don't dare to want?"

The disappointment and heartbreak in Fang Che's eyes instantly turned into resolve, his face determined, he spoke softly, "But this matter, we cannot back down!"

"Brother Zheng, even if you don't want to be heroes, this time you will surely be heroes!"

Fang Che's thin lips curved into a resolute arc: "At worst, I will take all the blame. Any disgrace, I, Fang Che, will bear it alone, so be it?"

"Could this temporary fame be more important than the countless families' safety!?"

"If I, Fang Che, play the villain and use this righteousness to impose on you, I apologize! But I must do it!"

"Steward Fang... Steward Fang..."

Zhao Wushang and Zheng Yunqi frantically chased after him.

But Fang Che had already reached the stairs outside, standing by the railing, the black steward's cloak fluttering without wind.

Looking at the countless eyes gazing up at him from below, Fang Che waved his hand, pointing at the people outside, at the buildings, and said loudly with a voice full of sorrow and indignation, "Brother Zheng, Brother Zhao... do you see?"

"Do you see these countless lights? Do you see each pair of eyes watching us?"

"How can we bear to let them down!?"

Fang Che placed a hand on his chest, almost as if baring his soul, sincere and heartfelt: "Countless lights, all on my shoulders! The lives of all people, all on me!"

A voice solemn and stirring, like a rumbling thunder.

"If I can protect this one piece of peace... what does temporary fame and disgrace matter?"

Fang Che strode forward, his voice sonorous and majestic: "Even if I die ten thousand deaths, so what!"

He did not turn his head, only letting his deep gaze look into the distance, as if he could see the peaceful life and safe work of all the people on the continent.
