Li Changkong listened and his expression turned strange.

This… how could this be?

Zuo Guanglie and the others, not a word of falsehood.

And these people are clearly very grateful to Fang Che!

Desperately proving for him, afraid that they might misunderstand Fang Che over something…

Li Changkong felt as if his heart was in chaos, since when did the Wei Wo Zheng Sect's Divine Power Essence become so widespread?

Just taken out like this by a family member?

This… damn, how dreamy it is.

But no matter how dreamy, the thing is in hand!

This point, no one can fake.

After understanding clearly, Li Changkong went back to the warehouse again, even looked over today's seized items.

Only then, he came out rubbing his temples.

"Damn it, the sun must have risen from the west… such a thing can actually happen…"

Li Changkong grabbed Fang Che and flew back.

Old Man Shen was waiting.

The Divine Power Essence sat untouched on the table.

His face was gloomy.

Seeing Li Changkong come in, he hurriedly asked, "How was it?"

"It's strange, it is indeed today's seizure…"

Li Changkong grinned and recounted the process once more.

Then he spoke of Zuo Guanglie and their testimonies.

How he verified it himself…

The more he spoke, Old Man Shen's expression became gentler.

A moment later.

Old Man Shen patted Fang Che's head kindly: "Wronged you, turns out it was really seized by you today."

Fang Che almost cried in grievance: "If it wasn't seized by me today, then where did I steal it from? This thing isn't something commonly found… You really wronged me terribly, sir."

"Alright, alright."

Old Man Shen was satisfied, his old face smiling like a flower.

"Now I can truly recover. Ah, how many years have I waited for this day…"

Old Man Shen sighed deeply.

"Congratulations to Master Shen, breaking and then establishing, failing and then succeeding; this restoration will definitely allow you to advance further!"

Li Changkong congratulated, feeling a bit envious.

As a martial artist, everyone knew, Old Man Shen's essence had been broken for so many years, his mindset had been settled for so many years, it was not in vain.

Unless he never recovers.

As long as he recovers.

There will surely be a breakthrough!

Old Man Shen also started smiling, smiling as his eyes turned red.

He held Fang Che's hand in both of his own, full of emotions; "This child… for my old bones, who knows how much hardship he has endured and how much danger he's been through."

Fang Che smiled and said: "Not at all…"

"You're not allowed to speak!"

Old Man Shen's voice was choked, "This recovery… is all thanks to this kid!… Damn it, once I'm better, I'm gonna give Gao Qingyu trouble every day!"

As he spoke, he gnashed his teeth.

Li Changkong felt a bit awkward, coughed, and said; "Actually, Mountain Master didn't mean it."

"I know he didn't mean it, but who made him Mountain Master?"

Old Man Shen was unreasonable: "Who bullied my good kid, if I don't find him, who else should I find?!"

Fang Che remained silent.

Go ahead and find him.

One must find something to do.

Besides, I actually take a bit of schadenfreude in you finding trouble with the Mountain Master… I'd really love to witness it!

As Old Man Shen's mood calmed, he caressed the Divine Power Essence, and softly said: "Tonight, I will recover. Then, this piece of Divine Power Essence, I can't use all of it, using at most one-third, I'd recover."

"Come take the rest tomorrow, it can't stay with me."

Old Man Shen said: "Then I will announce to the public that it's used up. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

"Go. Rest well tonight, the days of shouting and slashing… don't be too… ah, be careful of your safety."

Old Man Shen initially wanted to say 'don't be too enthusiastic', but seeing the Steward's Clothes on Fang Che,

he swallowed his words.

Wearing this outfit, how could one not be enthusiastic?

With all the lights in the world upon you!

The lives and deaths of all people rest upon you!

"Go."

Old Man Shen sighed gently, filled with complex emotions, softly said: "Child, you… you are excellent!"

Then he said to Li Changkong: "Send him back, let's talk."

Li Changkong pondered and said: "Alright."

...

Li Changkong and Fang Che walked in Baiyun Martial Academy, neither spoke.

At the school gate.

Li Changkong finally patted Fang Che's shoulder and said: "Make sure to stay safe."

"I understand. The Guardian Hall here, actually doesn't contact such powerful enemies."

Fang Che smiled and said: "I'm Marshal level now, I can handle it."

Li Changkong nodded deeply: "That's good."

Watching Fang Che walk away.

Li Changkong's eyes turned deep.

Not sure what he was thinking about.

Then he turned around, swiftly flying towards Old Man Shen's residence.

...

That night.

A burst of cyan light suddenly shot up from Baiyun Martial Academy, the cyan light majestic, piercing through the clouds!

A magnificent aura instantly enveloped the surrounding hundred miles.

The cyan light in the sky, like the gathering of storm clouds, slowly condensed into the shape of a long sword.

The edges emitted sharp sword light.

Suddenly, the cyan light transformed into white light, the incandescent light burst silently in the air, scattering like stars across the sky.

Like a crown.

Conquer the World.

Numerous martial artists around, looked up in admiration and envy.

Everyone who saw this light from the Demon Sect trembled, not daring to move.

Baiyun Martial Academy.

A Venerable has emerged!

A Martial Elder, and furthermore, a Sword Lord.

It seems, the rank is not low!

"Who broke through? How come I didn't know?" Gao Qingyu looked at the light rising from the Academy with joy until it disappeared, beaming with joy.

Our Baiyun Martial Academy, another powerful figure has emerged!

Joyful, happy occasion!

Just thinking of going to ask, suddenly a gust of wind came, a person landed in front of him.

It was precisely Old Man Shen!

"Old Shen?!" Gao Qingyu was overjoyed and exclaimed: "So it was…"

Before he had time to speak.

Bang! A punch hit right in his eye socket.

Then, it was like a storm of crazy beatings!

"I've wanted to hit you for a long time!"

Old Man Shen gnashed his teeth, showing no mercy: "I've wanted to hit you since decades ago, and recently, this feeling of wanting to hit you can't be suppressed!"

"If I don't beat you up, you'd think you are doing your tough meat thing well!"

"You mean little punk!"

"If I could beat up Zhao Shanhe now, I'd beat him tonight too!"

"You substitute for Zhao Shanhe first!"

Gao Qingyu burst into anger, dodging frantically but still getting beaten, cried bitterly: "What does Zhao Shanhe have to do with me… if you dare, hit him, why should I take the blow for him… ouch, damn… don't hit the nose… I am still the Mountain Master after all…"

"Mountain Master, your sister!"

Old Man Shen completely ignored his defenses.

Bam bam bam bam bam…

Without a word, turned Gao Qingyu into a pig-head.

"Celebrate me tomorrow!"

Walked away with swagger.

Gao Qingyu covered his panda-like eyes, rubbed his pig-head-like face: "… How am I going to celebrate you like this?"

...

Next day.

Entire Baiyun Martial Academy staff meeting.

Congratulations to Old Man Shen for becoming a Martial Elder.

Mountain Master Gao Qingyu's voice was loud and clear, full of joy.

But the Mountain Master, like an unmarried maiden, wore a veil, feeling lofty and enigmatic for people.

As he was delivering his speech, Huang Yifan next to him raised a hand to rub his nose.

Using this move as a pretense, a slight breeze tugged down Gao Qingyu's veil.

Instantly, a black-eyed, pig-headed face with an astonished expression appeared before everyone.

"Pfft…"

A female instructor couldn't hold back her laughter.

Promptly lowered her head.

But the laughter seemed infectious, in an instant…

"Hahahahahahahahaha…"

"Goose goose goose goose goose…"

The entire audience burst into laughter.

Gao Qingyu, on the podium, was about to explode with anger: "Huang Yifan!"

Huang Yifan coughed, "Mountain Master, now's the main event! Please continue your speech!"

Gao Qingyu: "..."

I don't want to speak right now!

I just want to beat you up!

But Old Man Shen was glaring fiercely down the stage, and if today he ruins his moment of glory, he'll likely beat me again!

Gao Qingyu swallowed his anger and continued.

The audience became a sea of joy…

...

Afternoon.

Fang Che came to congratulate.

Old Man Shen handed over the remaining half of the Divine Power Essence to him.

With multiple reminders, absolutely, absolutely do not expose this thing!

Li Changkong and others invited Fang Che to attend Old Man Shen's celebration banquet.

But Fang Che declined.

It would be inappropriate for him to stay.

Old Man Shen's recovery couldn't be hidden from Yin Shen Palace.

And Fang Che was also contemplating, on how to explain this to Yin Shen Palace.

Even though Yin Shen Palace is currently pampering him, this Divine Power Essence was used once, and used on the Guardian Hall's people.

This is a huge flaw.

And, it can't be concealed.

Tonight, he must fully face the anger and suspicion of Yin Shen Palace.

...

"Master, there's something, I'd like to tell you joyfully, and ask for forgiveness."

Fang Che carefully sent a message to Yin Shen Palace.

As expected, Yin Shen Palace was already puzzled.

"What thing? That could be both joyful and requiring apology?"

Fang Che said: "Master, do you remember, the Old Man Shen at Baiyun Martial Academy who stood up for me and caused a scene?"

Yin Shen Palace's face changed.

After pondering, he gloomily said: "Did you use Divine Power Essence to restore him?"

"Yes. After the detailed discussion with Master yesterday, I returned to the Guardian Hall to receive my merit; there were ten people who worked with me to eliminate the Heavenly God Sect sub-branch. All ten have already received their merits, but my merit was stalled by the excuse of being too much, needing to report to the Hall Master. Although it was eventually granted, this matter made me think a lot."

"I realized that the teachings from Master yesterday are like golden rules. Here, without a backer, even if my merits are sufficient, I cannot smoothly get a promotion, good treatment, or a suitable position."

"I have had this Divine Power Essence for a while, and Old Man Shen's essence was wasted for a long time too. But over these past days, I hesitated to heal him."

"Because I felt it was a waste."

"But yesterday, Master mentioned the need for a backer, and after experiencing differential treatment again, I realized this can't go on. If I don't have a promotion opportunity, but rather they use me as a tool among our enemies, then what is the meaning of me being a mole?"

"Therefore, as Master advised, finding a backer is necessary. Moreover, the sooner the better."
