With sweat pouring down his face, Yan Beihan stood with reddened eyes, retracting his spear.

Lowering her head, she walked up to Duan Xiyang: "Grandpa Duan, please don’t be angry. Your granddaughter isn’t talented in spear training, but she’s trying hard to practice... Besides, you’re tired, let me massage your shoulders."

Duan Xiyang’s expression eased slightly, though he was still somewhat angry, he sighed and said: "Girl, talk to your grandfather, tell him to stop tormenting the two of us, you really aren’t suitable for this, even after all this practice, your spear intent isn’t as sharp as that boy’s I first saw with Yemo."

Yan Beihan’s eyes lit up: "Yemo, he also trains with the spear? How is he?"

"With your current spear technique, if you were to battle him in a spear duel, he could probably lift you with a single thrust!"

Duan Xiyang rolled his eyes and said.

"Have you met Yemo? What’s he like?"

Yan Beihan became interested.

"Looks like a human being."

Duan Xiyang said.

In Duan Xiyang’s eyes, appearances don’t matter... It’s nothing but a pile of flesh when the White Bone Spear is flicked, talking about appearances is just mundane. So for him to say Fang Che ’looks like a human’ was indeed a high compliment.

Yan Beihan was eager: "Grandpa Duan, tell me more..."

In the pavilion, Yan Nan coughed forcefully: "Spear training! Continue your spear training!"

Duan Xiyang lifelessly dragged the White Bone Spear on the ground, sparking a trail of sparks.

"I really must’ve sinned..."

At this moment.

Yan Nan’s expression shifted, taking out the Communication Jade.

It was a message from Yin Shen Palace.

Upon reading it, his brow immediately furrowed.

This damn...

The Dream Demon is now trapped in Baiyun State? Did the Ningxue Sword go?

And the Heavenly God Sect?

Want to escape to Yemo at such a critical moment?

This damn wasn’t that just causing trouble!

But Yan Nan knew in his heart that, for now, the Dream Demon’s worth was much higher than that of an undeveloped Yemo.

At this juncture, Yemo could die, but the Dream Demon absolutely cannot!

This is tied to the gap in high-level combat power. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Feeling irritable and frustrated, he cursed: "Weren’t you told not to enter the city? How can you still drill your way into Baiyun State City? Just go to another state, and there won’t be so many troubles!"

But he understood in his heart.

Why choose Baiyun State?

Because that’s where the most successful sub branch of Yixin Sect is, precisely for success and identity safety, making it a crucial retreat!

"Damn it! Troubles just converge coincidentally! Isn’t this giving others a chance to wipe us out in one fell swoop?"

The more Yan Nan thought about it, the angrier he became.

Yet the Dream Demon couldn’t be abandoned.

"Duan Xiyang!"

Yan Nan shouted angrily.

Duan Xiyang came dragging his spear, rolling his eyes: "What’s up?"

"Look at the mess you caused!"

Yan Nan held the Communication Jade, gesturing and pointing: "You suggested recovering the Dream Demon, didn’t you? Did you find that Ten Thousand Year Old Soul Reviving Grass for him? See for yourself!"

Duan Xiyang said indifferently: "But it was the Dream Demon who wanted to recover; you didn’t let him collect Dream True Spirits within the sect, and it was you who forced him to go to the Guardian Continent."

After saying this, he added: "I’m not in charge of the sect’s affairs, why bother me with this."

He then turned away, intently starting to teach Yan Beihan the spear technique, clearly, Duan Xiyang had gotten more serious now.

Yan Nan sighed, first replying to the message from Yin Shen Palace: "If it’s truly a matter of life and death, it’s okay to go. But before you go, tell Yemo to get away first..."

Then he messaged the Dream Demon: "You can go to the Baiyun State sub branch of Yixin Sect, but you must ensure not to burden the sub branch."

At this moment, Vice Sect Master Yan was completely unaware that the Dream Demon had already fallen asleep...

He surely wouldn’t see his message.

...

Yin Shen Palace received the message from Vice Sect Master Yan, feeling somewhat relieved.

This way, if anything happened, they couldn’t blame him.

Immediately, he sent a message back to Kou Yifang.

"The Vice Sect Master instructed, if it’s truly life-threatening, you can hide in the sub branch, but you must ensure the sub branch is safe! But if it hasn’t come to that, under no circumstances, should you go."

Kou Yifang’s reply came swiftly: "Brother Yin, thanks a lot!"

Yin Shen Palace did not respond to him, then messaged Fang Che.

"Yemo, where are you? An unexpected situation has occurred, if you see this message, reply immediately!"

...

Baiyun State Guardian Hall.

Everyone stood upright as they watched Tang Zheng and his wife, who had already changed their clothes.

The couple lay silently on the crimson bedding.

One was in a straight Silver Star Steward’s uniform.

The other in a phoenix coronet with embroidered robe, looking elegant in appearance.

Tang Zheng had a proud smile on his face, Little Mei’s face was serene and happy, with a slight smile.

Yuan Jingjiang had already brought over the families of Tang Zheng and his parents, all with tear-streaked faces, crying bitterly.

"Serve the wine."

Fang Che remained calm, wearing the Steward Jinxing’s Robe, with a hat, dressed immaculately, standing straight with eyes as cold as snow.

Everyone was given a cup of wine.

"Today is a big day for Tang Zheng. His steward status has been approved. From this morning, he is Steward Tang. This was his lifelong pursuit and greatest pride. Let us congratulate him!"

"Secondly, the clues Tang Zheng risked his life to provide, led to the demise of the Dream Demon’s clone and two of the Nightmare Guards in Baiyun State, marking a significant accomplishment; based on merits, he should be upgraded to Silver Star Steward. Let us congratulate Tang Zheng."

"Thirdly, Tang Zheng mentioned a few days ago that he wanted me to attend his wedding celebration; although he and his wife didn’t complete their ceremony while alive, their union was acknowledged. So today, as Tang Zheng’s superior, I’ll personally officiate. I hope everyone sends their blessings to this couple!"
