Currently, the ideal team captain in An Ruoxing’s heart is undoubtedly Dongyun Yu.

So mature, so steady, and also very humble and sensible.

Having such a person as captain is reassuring.

"Fang Che hasn’t arrived yet?"

Dongyun Yu’s eyes lit up and he asked, "Who else has arrived?"

"There’s Feng Xiangdong... Mo Gan Yun... and others."

An Ruoxing smiled and listed the names again.

Dongyun Yu immediately felt at ease, showing a modest smile, and said, "They all seem pretty good. It looks like life will be quite lively in the future."

An Ruoxing laughed heartily and said, "Go and rest, I estimate Fang Che will arrive by this afternoon. Maybe by tomorrow, we will start the martial arts competition to decide the captain."

Dongyun Yu slightly smiled, confidently saying, "I may not be very talented, but let’s first reserve the captain position for today!"

An Ruoxing immediately smiled with satisfaction, indeed not only humble, but also possesses the vigor and pride of a young person, this is exactly how a genius should be, and with a pleasant demeanor said, "Not passing on responsibilities is also a good virtue. Go and rest."

"Yes."

Dongyun Yu respectfully bowed and turned to leave.

"This Dongyun Yu is really not bad."

Watching Dongyun Yu’s departing figure, An Ruoxing was extremely satisfied, smiling with endless praise in his heart.

He had no idea that the young talent he admired so much was given a send-off by the Dong family with firecrackers as if it was a new year when he left.

Even after Dongyun Yu traveled several thousand miles and reported to the Southeast Headquarters.

The firecrackers from the Dong family were still ongoing.

Fang Che had already arrived at Donghu State by this time.

The reason he hadn’t reported in was... he was looking for a real estate agency to get a house.

After all, he came with a family, unlike those bachelors.

No matter what, he had to settle Ye Meng down first.

Finding a house wasn’t difficult.

The key issue was the location.

Fang Che’s idea was to find a place not too far from the Inspection Hall.

But there was only one large house here.

"The house is a bit too large..." The real estate agency’s employee was somewhat hesitant: "It’s said to be an ancient Prince Mansion... has had many owners over the years, and it’s rumored to be haunted..."

It would’ve been fine if nothing else was said.

Upon hearing the words ’Prince Mansion’ and ’haunted’, Fang Che’s eyes immediately lit up like light bulbs.

"This is the one I want!"

"Whoa!"

The employee was startled: "Do you really want something this big?"

"If it’s small, I don’t want it!"

"It’s haunted."

"If it’s not haunted, I don’t want it!"

"Damn!"

The employee still took Fang Che to see the house, and Fang Che was satisfied at first sight, the ancient cypress trees, deep courtyards, high walls, and large gardens...

It looked just right.

"Prince Mansion covers an area of 222 acres."

The real estate agency’s employee’s mouth was twitching. Just the two of you, husband and wife, living in a Prince Mansion?

Aren’t you scared at night?

"Not bad, quite good."

Fang Che asked Ye Meng, "How is it?"

Ye Meng smiled slightly, "It’s quite good."

"Then it’s settled! How much is it?"

The employee was left speechless.

This was the first time this lord had asked the price since arriving here.

He had already made a decision.

"The lowest should be two billion."

"So cheap? I’ll buy it!"

Fang Che waved his hand, making a straightforward decision.

The employee’s mouth dropped open.

"Quickly do the paperwork! Pay the money, I want to move in!"

"..."

"It will take time...it’s quite cumbersome after all..."

"For this house, how much is your real estate agency’s commission?"

"Uh...our commission should be two hundred thousand taels."

"I’ll give you five hundred thousand, complete all the paperwork within two days! How about it?"

"..."

The employee was directly stunned.

Damn, where did this super young master come from? This is too impressive!

"The big boss can personally handle it, it will definitely get done!"

"Then it’s settled."

Fang Che immediately paid, haggled over the price, reached a house price of 1.7 billion silver coins; then paid a fifty thousand commission, all paid in full.

"Go get it done."

Then he took Ye Meng and left.

He found the most upscale inn, opened the number one room under the sky, directly opened for a month, and settled down first.

As for the money given to the real estate agency, Mr. Fang was not worried either.

If they embezzled it?

Damn... I’m just worrying about having no place to find the first commission, if they cheat him out of his silver, Mr. Fang might be overjoyed.

Settled Ye Meng at the inn.

Then Fang Che immediately rushed to report in without stopping.

A sword hangs at his waist, a blade carried on his back.

What a dashing and gallant young man!

Although he already has a Space Ring, but... other things can be used, yet the sword and blade can no longer be stored inside.

It’s too obvious.

Inspection Hall.

Looking at this solemn and austere plaque.

Fang Che’s first evaluation was: "It’s about the same size as my Prince Mansion."

Then he strode in confidently.

"Who are you looking for?"

"I’m here to report in."

"Uh... are you the last one?"

"What do you mean, the last one?"

"Vice Chief Officer An is over there, I’ll take you to him."

"Thank you for the trouble."

Moments later.

An Ruoxing looked at Fang Che, nodded approvingly, and said with a smile: "Fang Che, how’s it going, we meet again."

"Hello, Vice Chief Officer An."

"Hmm, you’re getting promoted quite fast, huh?"

An Ruoxing tutted twice: "Not long after being a Deacon, you became a Golden Star, not long after a Golden Star, you became Chief Steward, and soon after, you became Two Hall Chief Steward, then Vice Hall Master... Now you’ve directly come to the Southeast Headquarters for inspection... tut, even I wasn’t as fast as you in the past."

"It’s all thanks to the Vice Chief Officer’s nurturing and promotion."

"No need... I haven’t nurtured you. It’s your mentor who keeps causing me trouble here every day."

"My mentor? Who’s that?"

"Shen Zhixuan, isn’t he your mentor?"

"So the old man is here... I was wondering why I hadn’t seen him."

Fang Che was very delighted.

"In the future, try to calm your mentor down a bit; his fiery temper is like a powder keg, he’s almost blown up the Southeast Headquarters several times."

An Ruoxing sighed: "And that bastard’s cultivation is progressing very quickly..."

Fang Che solemnly promised: "I will persuade my mentor."

"That’s good. Fang Che, this time, is a big opportunity for you."

An Ruoxing had a favorable impression of Fang Che and lowered his voice to advise: "This patrol team you’re in, it’s filled with geniuses, this opportunity isn’t something an ordinary person could get. You must work hard, learn well from others, and build good relationships. It will benefit your future greatly."

Fang Che was surprised: "Is there such a thing? Rest assured, Vice Chief Officer, I will study hard and work diligently."

"Yes. In summary, observe more, listen more, learn more, be more humble, and make more connections."

"Yes."

After An Ruoxing finished advising, he asked: "What’s your current cultivation level?"

"Second Grade Emperor Level."

"Second Grade Emperor Level is not bad... hmm? What did you say? Second Grade Emperor Level?" An Ruoxing widened his eyes.

"Yes."

"How could it progress so quickly? When you participated in the King level Battle, you were... Third Grade King level, right? It’s only been a few days?" An Ruoxing was stunned.

"Perhaps I... have extraordinary talent?" Fang Che cautiously replied.

"..."

An Ruoxing rubbed his temples and said: "You also have to be careful, all the people in this batch are geniuses, the lowest cultivation among them is the Peak of Seventh Grade Martial Emperor..."

"I understand."

"These are your clothes and waist card. You don’t need the standard weapons, do you? I remember your sword and blade aren’t ordinary items."

"No need."

"Your dormitory is over there, I’ll have someone take you there."

"Uh... Vice Chief Officer, I have an unreasonable request."

"What is it?"

An Ruoxing asked.

"I came with my wife... So, let’s skip the dormitory? My wife and I shouldn’t live apart, right?" Fang Che said.

An Ruoxing laughed heartily: "Of course not, but having a dormitory is a requirement; you can just go home; the dormitory is for convenience."

Fang Che nodded and felt relieved.

Then he heard An Ruoxing add a sentence: "As for the other seven bachelors, they’ll have to stay in the dormitory."

"Uh..." Fang Che was speechless.

"Have you found a place to live?"

"I’ve found it, but it still needs some time for decoration."

"That’s good, if you need any help, just say so, don’t hesitate."

"Not at the moment, but if I do, I’ll definitely ask the Vice Chief Officer for help."

"Haha, go on."

Fang Che was taken to the dormitory area.

By now, it was already afternoon.

The gentle sunset slanted down, casting a golden edge over Fang Che.

From the direction of the dormitory, it looked like a Golden Armor-clad sacred person surrounded by a golden light was approaching.

An Ruoxing stood at the window ledge and watched Fang Che walk over, showing appreciation in his eyes.

And contemplation.

Eight great talents, Seven Great Families plus a Fang Che.

And it was arranged from above as a direct parachute.

What is the intention? What does Ninth Lord mean? Is this to... thoroughly cleanse the Southeast?

He had a vague premonition in his heart, with Seven Great Family members, plus an extraordinarily talented and impartial Fang Che, they could walk across the entire Southeast unhindered!

If any illegal, any sneaky actions were discovered, the power of these eight people could sweep through with ease!

Even to the point of a bloody trail!

An Ruoxing could feel it, above the Southeast sky, thunderclouds were forming!
