Monarch Night

Once in a residential community, two groups had a conflict and were shouting to fight and kill. Someone suddenly shouted: "Fang Tu is here!"

In an instant, the entire community fell silent, and the two groups immediately returned home; even the neighboring communities became eerily quiet!

Stopping children from crying at night... in Donghu State, this had become an ordinary skill for Fang Che!

The three of them leisurely had a meal, drank some wine, and enjoyed a rare moment of peace.

During that single meal time, the news that Fang Tu had returned to Donghu State spread like an earthquake’s aftershock in all directions.

When Fang Che left Jinxiu Pavilion, he found that no one had left.

Although they were scared and frightened, they instinctively felt close and didn’t want to leave; they wanted to take another look at Fang Che.

Fang Che smiled, waved his hand, and laughed: "Everyone, enjoy your food and drink, about what happened just now... first, thank you all for standing up. Secondly... actually, there’s no need, you’re making me seem like a Great Demon... I’m a bit unaccustomed hahaha..."

Immediately, everyone burst into laughter: "Captain Fang for a thousand autumns!"

"Doing it this way, when the word gets out, Captain Fang taking his wife out will encounter less trouble... After all, the sister-in-law is as beautiful as a heavenly immortal, haha... Right, today’s thing... it’s the right thing to do."

"Haha..."

Fang Che took out a silver note to settle the bill, saying: "Add two jars of wine to each table, my treat."

Then cupped his hands: "Then, I’ll take my leave. Everyone, take your time eating and drinking."

"Captain Fang, take care!"

Fang Che left with Ye Meng and Zhao Ying’er. As they turned the corner, there were still people at the door watching them leave.

Zhao Ying’er sighed repeatedly: "Being a person, being an official, to reach the level of Mr. Fang, there’s no regret in this life."

She glanced at Fang Che and then looked down.

Feeling her heart, beating more intensely.

Since coming to Donghu this time, even though Fang Che wasn’t here, wherever she went, discussions about Fang Che surrounded her.

And now that Fang Che was back, just going out for a meal, could cause this... simply because an unfamiliar young rascal commented on the woman beside Fang Che, almost made him a public enemy.

Such public sentiment, such prestige, such a man...

"Ah..."

Zhao Ying’er sighed in her heart, biting her lip, and glanced at Ye Meng beside her discreetly.

"Elder Sister Ye Meng... so fortunate!"

Returning to the Inspection Hall courtyard.

Sikong Dou had already pulled a cart of books, waiting in the courtyard.

Without permission, the little guys didn’t dare to touch them and continued practicing diligently.

Looking at this group of extremely sensible and hardworking children, seeing the light in their eyes, and the sweat on their heads and bodies, Sikong Dou was filled with emotion.

Sitting dumbfounded on the cart’s shaft.

Seeing Fang Che return, he immediately approached.

Fang Che laughed heartily, calling the children over to help unload the cart, moving the books inside to create a study room.

From now on, they could come anytime to read the books and gain some new knowledge from them.

One had to admit, Sikong Dou was incredibly attentive with this cart of books. There were biographies of famous people, geography, various local customs, tales from the Jianghu, Jianghu rules, the Three Sects and Nine Branches, all sorts of experiences from the Jianghu, and specially many volumes on how to harm people, how to poison, how to mix poisons...

There was also an introduction to the Cloud Weapon List, and the admiration of thousands after making the list, etc...

Most crucially, there were a few volumes of "Weiwo True Sect Crimes".

And a set of "Conquer the World".

Many of these books were absolutely unavailable in the market outside. If one could read all these books and apply them flexibly, they’d virtually become an old hand in the Jianghu...

Seeing these books, Fang Che couldn’t help but be moved: "Bro, you’re thoughtful. These can help the children avoid countless detours."

Sikong Dou sighed a bit, saying: "Since we want to do it, we must do it with heart. After all, the most terrifying thing in wandering the Jianghu is never the enemy’s martial power; if you can’t beat it, you can’t, there’s nothing more to say. But how many young geniuses have fallen to ghostly means... truly a pity."

"What you say is true, bro."

Fang Che agreed infinitely.

Those who died unjustly.

Had someone at home known and given a word of advice, perhaps they wouldn’t have died. But... they died in ignorance.

Ye Meng and Zhao Ying’er also immediately recognized the value of these books.

Not only were they useful for the little guys, but also for Fang Che and the others.

These needed careful reading, practicing by doing, gradually delving into them.

Zhao Ying’er and Ye Meng began to classify them more meticulously.

"And as for those drinks..."

Sikong Dou looked longingly at Fang Che: "They need to come to my place; I must arrange rooms, and once everything is thoroughly done, it’ll take at least three days."

"Three days for a transformation, it’s already a monumental fortune!"

Sikong Dou said: "But... the process will be very bitter. I will need to repeatedly exert pressure on their bodies, so the medicinal effect is optimal! You have to take this into account."

Fang Che nodded: "That’s for sure!"

He smiled, winked, and said: "After all, it’s Spirit Crystal Immortal Liquid."

Sikong Dou laughed heartily, finally at ease; Fang Che making a joke of it meant everything was truly in the past.

Sikong Dou put on a pained expression: "These two months... ah, you and that silly guy in my family with your antics wore me out..."

Fang Che laughed heartily, nudged him with his shoulder, winked and said: "Who’s to blame that you’re so beefy, if we don’t take advantage of you, who else can we take advantage of?"

Sikong Dou burst into laughter: "Yes, yes, damn it!"

"Hahaha..."

With a laugh, it was all forgotten.

All the grudges, from then on, turned into nothing.

Both felt a weight lifted off their hearts.

A moment later, upon Fang Che’s instructions, Sikong Dou had the nine little guys boarded on the wagon and pulled them away.

Fang Che chose to fully let go.

"You must cherish this opportunity, return in three or four days, I want to see your transformation."

Fang Che firmly told Ren Chun: "Watch them closely, don’t fear hardships. This is a real opportunity to change lives! If it doesn’t work, beat them! Scold them!"

Ren Chun nodded resolutely: "Rest assured big brother, if anyone dares to cry, I’ll beat him to death!"

Watching the wagon go far away, Fang Che felt exhilarated.

The nine little guys after this transformation, what could they become in the future, Fang Che truly anticipates.

Childhood hardships gave them ample capital, also honed their minds. It’s the true launching point.

"Fly! Little guys!"

Fang Che said quietly.

"Let me see how high you can soar!"
