Chapter 1123: Chapter 271: Ninth Lord’s Seven Pots of Tea [Part 2] [Ten Thousand Words]

Dongfang Sansan sighed and said:

"Therefore, when facing Chen Gu, it depends on whether your own value can make him look up to you. Or if he notices you. When you’re unsure or your value is not yet sufficient, try to avoid meeting him. If you do meet, don’t mention any of your achievements. The best outcome is if he ignores you, or doesn’t pay attention at all."

"Your biggest problem right now is your identity as Yemo, which all these Old Demons already know. They have high expectations for Yemo. If somehow it turns out that Yemo’s usefulness isn’t that significant... then their view will change. They might even be disappointed. Once this disappointment arises, it will be devastating for you."

"I understand."

Fang Che’s heart trembled slightly.

This was something he hadn’t even considered.

"Regarding Chen Gu, the line with Chen Yin must not be followed. Don’t think that just because Chen Yin ever wooed, recruited you, and sent you supplies, you can use this to get closer to Chen Gu. This is a major taboo!"

Dongfang Sansan warned solemnly: "This point, you must understand."

"Yes, I will remember it firmly!"

Fang Che nodded vigorously.

"The personality of Ice Soul Bai Jing is somewhat indifferent; this indifference is towards those beneath, not those above; he’s loyal to superiors, and to brothers on the same level he can be resolute to the point of selflessness. But to those below, including his own family, sect, and descendants, he appears very indifferent, like ’what you do has nothing to do with me’."

"Among the descendants of several Vice Sect Masters, Bai Jing’s descendants are the least capable, but he’s also the one who cares the least."

"Just saying this, you might think it’s very vague, so let me give you an example."

Dongfang Sansan said: "Yin Shen Palace comes from Bai Jing’s sect, saying it like this, you understand a bit, right?"

"I understand."

Fang Che nodded.

"But Ice Soul Bai Jing is someone you can lean on, one of the Vice Sect Masters. Because if Bai Jing discovers that Yan Nan values you as Yemo, then he will naturally also value you. And because of the connection with Yin Shen Palace, he might instinctively consider you as one of his people. So regarding Bai Jing, you can think about it."

"He will care for Yin Shen Palace because Yan Nan values you; and think of you as his person because of his sect’s involvement. But leaning on Yin Shen Palace is impossible. You can. You should carefully contemplate my words."

The words of Dongfang Sansan were very meaningful.

They contained countless matters of human interaction, but he didn’t clearly say them, leaving Fang Che to comprehend them himself.

Fang Che pondered, while carefully remembering each word.

He could understand. But he still needed to sort through them meticulously.

He also understood Dongfang Sansan’s meaning: the thread that he sorts out himself is the one that truly belongs to him. And no matter how Dongfang Sansan teaches, he’s just a teacher, but he can’t represent Fang Che’s own thoughts.

And Fang Che’s undercover work can’t possibly consult him at all times, so most things need to be handled by himself, figured out by himself.

"Next is Night Owl Wu Xiao, this person is the most ruthless and bloodthirsty among the ten Sect Leaders of Wei Wo Zheng Sect, completely inhuman. He has slaughtered entire villages and towns over disagreements, and has wiped out entire cities just because he doesn’t like someone."

"This person only likes those who are like him; he considers them his kind. So this person... if you want to get close to him, you must have blood on your hands."

Dongfang Sansan spoke up, raising his cup to invite Fang Che to drink tea: "Wu Xiao is the person I most want to kill right now!"

Fang Che nodded silently.

"Then there is Cloud Minister Yu Han Yan, who is the most indifferent person in Wei Wo Zheng Sect. He rarely seeks fame and fortune, and rarely fights for anything for himself, or even his family and descendants."

"That’s why those under Xiang Beidou wanted to maneuver to let Xiang Beidou take another step ahead. But this matter backfired, not only failing, but also triggering a strong backlash from Yu Han Yan’s subordinates."

"Cloud Minister Yu Han Yan has also started to target Xiang Beidou everywhere."

"Although Yu Han Yan is in Wei Wo Zheng Sect, he lives like a hermit. But there’s a very obvious characteristic about him: I don’t snatch from you, nor do I contest for anything; everything is indifferent. But I absolutely don’t allow others to snatch from me! Once you make a move, I’ll strike back with thunderous force! Once you’re suppressed and become obedient, I’ll retreat and continue my hermit-like existence, absolutely not using the momentum of this great victory to expand influence and scheme for more..."

Dongfang Sansan smiled, saying: "So, regarding this Cloud Minister, you can approach him in any way, as long as you don’t touch his interests, he won’t act against you. Even if you slightly offend, Yu Han Yan won’t get angry."

Fang Che truly felt he had gained knowledge: "Wei Wo Zheng Sect truly has such people."

Dongfang Sansan smiled slightly, saying: "Then there’s Xiang Beidou with Ba Wang’s Whip. Also the only Vice Sect Master among so many who ranks in the Cloud Weapon List. He’s ranked ninth."

He interestingly looked at Fang Che: "You wouldn’t think that since Xiang Beidou ranks ninth, his strength is only that of the ninth on the Cloud Weapon List, would you?"

Fang Che scratched his head: "Isn’t it?"

Dongfang Sansan obviously looked surprised: "You really think so?"

Fang Che coughed, feeling very embarrassed, feeling he had again crossed another step towards being a fool in Dongfang Sansan’s mind.
