"You all clean up here yourselves."

In Ningxue Sword’s heart a plan formed: It seems Fang Che’s guess was correct; the Dream Demon must still be in Baiyun State.

If so, then my goal and plan have become clear.

Thus, immediately restoring her cold demeanor, she spoke like ice and snow: "I will go too!"

Swish.

And she was gone.

Only then did Yuan Jingjiang and the others recover from their stiffness, stammering: "Lord Jian... left?"

"Left." Fang Che replied with a frown.

He still felt regretful, somewhat unwilling.

It was just a doppelganger.

The Dream Demon isn’t dead.

Yuan Jingjiang stammered, "What should we do?"

"What should we do?"

Fang Che angrily said, "You’re the Hall Master!"

Yuan Jingjiang was at a loss, his mind still foggy, almost about to cry: "My mind is blank right now..."

"..."

Fang Che turned and left.

"You clean up, I’ll go check on Tang Zheng. Transport their bodies... back to the Guardian Hall first."

His voice was low, and after saying this, he went into the next courtyard without looking back.

Gathering Little Mei’s makeup and dress-up items, packing them all up.

Then placing the body on the bed, he carried her out, got a horse-drawn carriage, placed Little Mei on it, and sat down, cracking the whip: "Go!"

Just left without a care.

Yuan Jingjiang also wanted to follow, but things needed handling here, so he just took a glance and immediately started directing.

Without people to rely on, he would manage some work on his own.

Fang Che drove the carriage all the way to where Tang Zheng’s body lay.

Here, a Guardian of the Great Hall had already arrived to keep watch. The surroundings were cordoned off.

Tang Zheng was covered with the Steward Jinxing’s Robe, lying quietly.

"Go buy a bridal outfit, phoenix coronet and all."

Fang Che instructed Jing Xiuyun, reminding her: "Get a good one, the highest quality!"

"Yes."

Jing Xiuyun, eyes filled with tears, turned and left, wiping her eyes as she walked.

"You go ahead and inform the Internal Needs to fetch a full set of steward’s clothes, Silver Star. Remember, the whole set!"

Fang Che instructed Zhao Ying’er: "Be quick." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Yes."

Zhao Ying’er bowed in farewell to Tang Zheng, sprang away.

"Tang Zheng, I’m here to tell you that your neighbors’ three demons have been dealt with by us."

Fang Che slowly came to Tang Zheng, looked at his face, and spoke softly.

Tang Zheng lay there, face calm with a smile. Seemingly very gratified.

Fang Che said in a low voice: "Do you know? You’ve achieved great merit! Because of your information, we destroyed a doppelganger of the Dream Demon. This is a super merit for the Guardian Hall. Even among the Guardians, it’s a super merit!"

"Therefore, your promotion to Silver Star, no one can object."

"It’s just your cultivation was too low, otherwise, the credit would be enough for Golden Star."

"Tang Zheng..."

Fang Che sighed: "I brought Little Mei to you too. I’ll take you both, back to the Guardian Hall!"

"I wish you, in your next lives, a lifelong companionship, never parting!"

Fang Che stood solemnly, bowed his head, and mourned in silence for a moment.

Then he bent over, gently picked up the smiling Tang Zheng, and placed him on the carriage.

Hong Er Quezi wanted to help, but was refused.

He placed Tang Zheng and Little Mei neatly side by side.

Fang Che climbed onto the carriage: "Back to Guardian Hall. Steward Hall!"

The whip gently flicked, the carriage moved slowly, all the way steadily.

Fang Che sat atop the carriage, face cold and solemn, eyes deeply fixed.

The night was profound.

The wind suddenly rose, causing his hair to flutter, and his robes to drift; the sky wailed, like crying and lamenting.

The sound of horse hooves crisp, moving slowly forward.

Hong Er Quezi and other Hall Guardians, followed in a silent, orderly line.

Every eye was fixed on Tang Zheng and Little Mei’s bodies on the carriage, then looking at the straight-backed Fang Che sitting on the reins.

Not even knowing what they’re thinking.

They only knew to follow that straight back, moving forward. Regardless of whether the road ahead led into the night, or any place.

...

After Ningxue Sword left.

"Ninth Brother, you’re really prescient. As soon as I arrived, I dealt with two Nightmare Guards and a doppelganger of the Dream Demon!"

Over there.

"Hmm?" Dongfang Sansan was directly shocked, even dumbfounded for a moment.

This fast?

In Dongfang Sansan’s plan, Ningxue Sword would go to intimidate first; then work with the Guardian Hall to stabilize the situation; then alongside Southeast and the Guardians, exert force.

Aiming at the Four Great Sects, gradually isolating the news of the Heavenly God Sect, focusing on attacks.

In this way, Fang Che’s side wouldn’t be exposed at all.

And it would be a natural progression to strike the Heavenly God Sect, then the final goal would be to extinguish the Dream Demon or its doppelgangers.

This was a complete process.

But Ningxue Sword, after going over, directly did the last task without rest, immediately taking down a Dream Demon doppelganger!

Skipping steps and completing the ultimate task in one go.

Dongfang Sansan, considering the timing, was indeed a bit surprised.

This meant, Ningxue Sword rushed over at full speed, and without stopping in Baiyun State, struck immediately with one sword to kill the Dream Demon doppelganger and two Nightmare Guards?

How is such a coincidental thing possible?

"What’s going on?" Dongfang Sansan asked.

"I arrived, and on searching, I discovered Fang Che, behaving like an official, swaggering through the streets..."

This remark from Ningxue Sword made Dongfang Sansan frown.

With that kind of talk, I felt as if Fang Che was merely a street-peddling trader.

"Then I just descended, and they were audacious beyond measure, having directly found the Dream Demon’s doppelganger’s dwelling, daring to capture it with just a few King levels..."

Ningxue Sword said smugly: "If I hadn’t been there, this gang might have become the Dream Demon’s nourishment."
