That evening, everyone parted with joy.

Even Old Man Shen unexpectedly raised his glass to Zhao Shanhe: "Old Zhao, I couldn’t stand the sight of you before, you tell me, how could you do such despicable things? Am I right? Today I’ll give you some face, let’s drink, and I won’t fuss about the stupid things you did before."

Zhao Shanhe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

This kind of talk, damn it, is really hard to respond to.

Can’t even figure out if he’s cursing me or... cursing me?

This damn sentence, I couldn’t hear any meaning of reconciliation.

And from whichever angle you look at it, you’re considered my subordinate, so how come you’re being so generous to forgive me?

Are you even qualified?

An Ruoxing was cheerfully encouraging from the side: "Drink one, drink one!"

So, Mo Gan Yun and others began to suck up to their superior: "Drink one! Drink one!"

Suddenly creating a wedding night atmosphere!

Zhao Shanhe shot An Ruoxing a look, this guy was really hopping around like a mischievous little brother at a wedding night.

Finally, holding his breath, he downed the wine in his cup in one go.

A sense of relief spread through his body.

From now on, I don’t need to carry this burden anymore.

Feeling damn comfortable.

With good spirits, he picked up the wine jar and started a drinking contest with Old Man Shen.

How could Old Man Shen be afraid of him? He let out a weird laugh: "Old Zhao, you damn well signed a waiver for me. If you drink yourself to death tonight, don’t let your wife come after me!"

Zhao Shanhe got furious: "Who the hell do you look down on? I’m known as the God of Wine in the Southeast!"

Old Man Shen: "I am known as Iron Stomach in the Southeast!"

So the two started drinking directly!

The two went on a drinking spree, facing each other like fighting cocks, throwing wine jars one after the other behind them, with An Ruoxing and Fang Che cheering on the side.

In such an atmosphere, these two old fellows couldn’t back down, and bravely ended up with a double KO.

Both were out of it, still muttering curses as they were carried away. While being carried, they continued to spill words with incoherent curses.

However, it was clear that both were quite happy, with their burdens swept away.

Yu Zhongge and the others also went back to their dormitories.

Fang Che naturally returned to the inn with his wife. He was quite curious, that Dongyun Yu drank all night, and besides teasing Feng Xiangdong and others, didn’t give any trouble to a few officers.

Apparently, this guy also has some awareness of boundaries.

That night.

Fang Che sent long, lengthy reports to the Yin Shen Palace.

"Master, your disciple has something to report."

"Currently, Zhao Wushang from the Worldwide Escort Agency has brought people to Donghu State, choosing a location. To avoid suspicion, I have not been involved there temporarily. I need some time before I go to check it out. I’ll report back to Master then."

"Your disciple has now reported to the Guardian Southeast Headquarters Patrol. Upon arrival, I’ve noticed many unusual things, and I’m a bit puzzled, requesting Master for clarification."

"The first point is... upon arrival, I found out that our new patrol team wasn’t appointed by the Southeast Guardian Headquarters, but directly by the Guardian Headquarters with air-dropped appointments."

"The team consists of Feng Xiangdong, Xue Wanren, Yu Zhongge, etc... Among them, there are representatives from each of the Wind, Rain, and Snow Three Great Families, and the others are from Third and Fourth Level families. Firstly, they are all familiar faces to me, secondly, they’re all super geniuses. I feel this might be a concentrated training? Or a trial?"

"The second point is... as soon as I got rid of suspicion, I was placed into such a team, and I can’t quite grasp the intention. Does this mean they want these people to keep an eye on me? Or am I also being regarded as someone to nurture? Has my suspicion been completely cleared, preparing for heavy use? In this regard, I can’t see clearly."

"The third point is tonight’s gathering, Teacher Shen Zhixuan... well, this is the backer I found under Master’s instruction, and tonight he reconciled with Zhao Shanhe, at least in appearance. And Zhao Shanhe also expressed goodwill towards me, clearly stating that the previous matters were misunderstandings. This makes me feel my situation has truly improved a lot. Or is this my illusion?"

"Starting tomorrow, there will be a martial competition to select the team leader from eight people. As a disciple, I’m unsure whether to go all out for it or just go with the flow and integrate first."

"In short, as a disciple, I feel that I’ve received goodwill, and seen hope and prospects, but still can’t quite see through what the Guardian really wants to do."

"That’s all, please Master, give your disciple some guidance. Your disciple will remain sleepless through the night, waiting for your reply. Master, please take care of your health, your disciple sincerely greets you."

After sending it, Fang Che lay down on the bed with peace of mind, holding Ye Meng in his arms, starting his own lovely night.

Not at all showing the ’apprehensive and confused’ demeanor he just reported.

Instead, he was vigorous, overturning rivers and seas.

Ye Meng repeatedly begged for mercy, but Fang Che got even more excessive; all the way until the latter half of the night...

Finally fell into a deep sleep.

Fang Che simply relaxed, put on a robe, slumped into a comfy chair, and prepared to check the reply from the Yin Shen Palace.

The Yin Shen Palace, upon receiving Fang Che’s report, excitedly slapped themselves on the thigh on the spot!

With a loud slap, deafening!

Excitedly flushed with excitement.

Finally, the clouds clear to see the moon! Yemo, finally had their break!
