That's it?

But how could Fang Che let her be exposed? Even if she really was, he would smooth things over for her.

So, just as Night Dream was at a loss, she heard Fang Che's impatient voice from outside.

"Hurry up and come out to clean the yard and study after you're done washing. Mother and I are going to the family. Do it yourself, and don't think about asking for help. Qiu Xue and Dong Mei are out on errands. Hurry up!"

Fang Che snorted and said from outside, "Mother, let's go."

Fang Qianyi's voice: "Okay... Che'er, Night Dream's body has only just begun to recover, don't be too harsh..."

The sound slowly faded away.

Night Dream's heart immediately settled down.

They're all gone. This is a godsend opportunity. I must break through quickly! She quickly took an Aura Concealing Pill to slightly conceal her breakthrough aura. Although the effect was limited, it was better than nothing.

To her surprise, Fang Che's family didn't return until she had finished her breakthrough, taken another bath, and cleaned the yard and study, and it was already dark.

It wasn't until the candles were lit that Qiu Xue and Dong Mei returned with a carriage, directing people to move large boxes into the house.

Then Fang Che and Fang Qianyi returned, looking exhausted. Soon after, the Fang Family sent over two tables of food.

It seemed they had been busy all afternoon and evening and hadn't had time to eat.

The Fang Family's deployment had been completed. After obtaining part of the original Su Family's sphere of influence and business circle, the entire family's development had a solid foundation.

Fang Zhenghang convened a meeting to arrange the next family plan.

"First of all, the martial strength configuration must be improved! Currently, the family's highest cultivation level is only at the Great Grandmaster level. This won't do. With our current strength, there is no hope of impacting the eighth level. There is still a risk of dropping in the ninth level."

"After all, in addition to protecting the people, taking care of their livelihoods, and facilitating society, the most important thing for a noble family is to complete the Guardian Hall's mission, submit contributions that meet the standards of a ninth-level family, obtain contribution points, and qualify. That is the most important thing."

"After all, the above tasks are handled by governments at all levels and merchants all over the world. As long as goods circulate, the people's lives can be guaranteed. Without noble families, it doesn't matter."

"The contribution points that noble families need to submit are for three things: first, capturing various fugitives and people who endanger the people and society; second, handing in demon beast crystal cores to eliminate wilderness threats; and third, eradicating evil cults and demonic people."

"Only these three things can be exchanged for contribution points."

"And each of these three things requires powerful martial strength. Therefore, martial cultivation must be the top priority."

The entire Fang Family's high-level members were somber.

Everyone's heart was heavy.

Last year, the contribution points for a ninth-level family were two hundred. The family completed two hundred and fifteen points, barely maintaining its level.

Half a year has passed this year, and only ninety-eight contribution points have been obtained.

Completing the annual task is a distant prospect.

"Currently, there are two Martial Dao Grandmasters..." Fang Zhenghang sighed.

At this moment, Fang Qianyi weakly raised her hand.

"I..."

"What's wrong?"

"I estimate that I can break through to Innate Grandmaster this month," Fang Qianyi said.

She didn't know what was going on, but ever since she went home and had a meal with her son half a month ago, her cultivation had been advancing by leaps and bounds, it was simply terrifying.

Her aptitude had also become much stronger.

The speed at which she absorbed spiritual energy was several times faster than before.

Although she vaguely guessed that it might be due to the fruit her son had given her, Fang Qianyi didn't say anything.

Nor did she ask.

This kind of thing was too sensitive.

Once exposed, just the coveting and desire of people within the family would be impossible to deal with. Because there could never be too much of that kind of thing.

"You're about to break through?"

Fang Zhenghang was overjoyed, and the others in the room were also shocked, revealing ecstatic expressions.

This was truly great news.

With one more Great Grandmaster, they would have a better chance of completing the Guardian Hall's mission.

"Yes, I estimate I can break through in less than a month, I've already had the feeling these past few days,"

Fang Qianyi said with a smile.

"That's good, that's great!"

Fang Zhenghang was overjoyed.

Fang Che, sitting behind his mother, said calmly, "As for the demon beast crystal cores, I still have some here, all of which are the property left behind by Su Yue's family; there are still several hundred of them. Although the quality is uneven, they can all be used to complete the mission. The Fang Family can use them, just give me the money. But I hope to put the mission quota under my mother's name."

"That would be even better! Putting it under your mother's name is even more no problem, anyway, we are all staring at our Fang Family name to complete the mission."

Fang Zhenghang was even happier.

When submitting mission crystal cores to the Guardian Hall, the Guardian Hall would calculate the contribution points, and then purchase each crystal core at 70% of the market price.

They had money.

The Fang Family took the mission and contribution points, and Fang Che took the money and put it into 'Su Family property', each getting what they needed.

Anyway, the Su Family didn't need to hand in missions anymore.

"In this way, two or three hundred crystal cores would be worth nearly forty contribution points, then our annual mission would be much easier."

Everyone smiled happily.

"We still can't relax, the more contribution points, the better!"

Fang Zhenghang sternly warned.

Everyone agreed readily, but the expressions on their faces were somewhat relaxed.

After all, completing the mission ahead of time was a different feeling and a different risk than completing the mission right on the deadline. If they couldn't complete it by the last month, then the entire family would have to work desperately, and casualties would be inevitable.

The meeting lasted a long time.

Fang Che accompanied her throughout.

Fang Qianyi felt very strange. Her son never participated before, so how could he be so patient this time?

He actually sat there until the end of the meeting.

"What's wrong with you? Is your brain okay?"

Fang Qianyi worriedly touched her son's forehead, but it wasn't hot.

Fang Che helplessly removed his mother's hand.

It had been almost a month since his rebirth.

Ever since he saw his mother, Fang Qianyi, that night, Fang Che always had a peculiar feeling.

He always felt that whether he was chatting or working with Fang Qianyi, he had the same feeling as when he was with his brothers back then, a very bold and unrestrained Jianghu feeling.

Very straightforward, very direct, very simple.

She didn't have the slightest bit of the delicate air of an ordinary girl, not even refined, but very outgoing.

It was very comfortable to be with her.

"My old man must have had good luck in his ancestral grave to find such a good wife."

Fang Che was envious in his heart.

Being with Fang Qianyi, he rarely felt like a son being taken care of by his mother. Instead, Fang Che was tolerating and taking care of his mother.

Moreover, there was also a feeling of "taking care of a not-so-sensible younger sister" and "taking care of a daughter."

This was very strange.

Seeing that Fang Che didn't respond, Fang Qianyi walked along, nagging, "You took that Night Dream into the family. Your mother saw her. That girl is not bad, she looks pretty, with big breasts and big butt, she can give birth. You plan to take her as a concubine, right?"

Fang Che's mouth twitched: "...Uh..."

Fang Qianyi solemnly warned, "But if you want to achieve something in martial arts, then you must not lose your virginity before reaching the Innate Grandmaster. You need to remember this."

Fang Che was speechless.

You don't need to tell me that, I already know.

Fang Qianyi snorted and said, "For example, your mother, I was deceived by your father back then, and I had you before I reached the Innate Grandmaster, and as a result... alas, back then, your mother was also a genius."

In Fang Qianyi's voice, there was a sigh of someone who had been there.

Fang Che rolled his eyes.

"Mother, can you not have that hidden satisfaction when you teach people? Those who know you are sighing, those who don't know will think you are showing off, encouraging me to find a wife early."

"Really? Really?"

Fang Qianyi hurriedly adjusted her mentality.

Fang Che sighed tiredly and changed the subject, "Mother, I have a question to ask you, why do I have your surname, Fang? What is my father's surname?"

Fang Qianyi turned her head to look at him in surprise, "How could you have such an idea?"

Fang Che didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Shouldn't children take their father's surname?"

"Yes."

Fang Qianyi said, "What's the problem?"

Fang Che was stunned, stammering, "Could it be... could it be..."

Fang Qianyi said as a matter of course, "Your father's surname is Fang, didn't I tell you?"

Fang Che: "..."

Suddenly, he was in a mess.

A mouthful of old resentment was stuck in his throat, making him very uncomfortable.

Fang Qianyi was already frowning, asking herself, "Didn't I tell you? Hmm? ...emmmm, it seems I really forgot to tell you... Hahaha..."

As she spoke, she actually laughed.

She felt very humorous for creating such a big joke because of her mistake.

Fang Che looked at the sky speechlessly, his face full of black lines.

After a long while, he said, "Mother... thank you, it really wasn't easy for you to raise me to this age. Really."

"That's right, I fed you with my own hands..."

Fang Qianyi began to lament the difficulty of raising a child.

Fang Che looked at the sky the whole time.

You didn't understand what I meant at all...

"...Then where is my father now?"

"I've told you this eight hundred times, your father can't come back now, but your father is a good person. He's a great hero!"

Fang Qianyi's voice was filled with pride.

When she said this to the original owner, the original owner probably disdained it.

But now, Fang Che really believed it.

That night.

After dinner.

When it was time to sleep, Night Dream brought water in and began to fulfill the duties of a maid.

Fang Che comfortably sat on the bed, and Night Dream began to wash his feet.

He didn't seem surprised by Night Dream's recovery.

Night Dream served him attentively and obediently.

Apart from the sound of water, there was silence.

Finally.

"Night Dream, are you used to your new name and new home?"

Fang Che broke the silence.

He knew that some things could only be initiated by himself. Because, a spy like Night Dream would never take the initiative to ask anything.

They would only observe silently.

"I am very used to it, thank you, Young Master."

Night Dream said obediently, her voice soft, full of unease, like a weak woman who had just been rescued into a new environment and had no sense of security or belonging.

Fang Che nodded, he didn't care about her disguise.

On the contrary, he hoped that Night Dream's disguise would be stronger, preferably so strong that even he couldn't detect it.

"Then do you know why I gave you that immortal fruit?"

Fang Che said.

"Immortal fruit?" Night Dream showed a dazed look at just the right moment.

"That is a Heavenly Vein Vermillion Fruit, which is of great benefit to improving one's aptitude."

Fang Che stated everything clearly.

He knew that Night Dream would never agree with him, so he had to 'state' everything himself.

"Ah... it's actually this kind of immortal fruit, this servant, this servant... is not worthy..."

Night Dream knelt down in fear, kowtowing repeatedly.

A flash of appreciation flashed in Fang Che's eyes.

This girl, her acting is really good, no wonder she was specially sent to be a spy.

"I saved you at the time, it was just an impulse."

Fang Che said seriously with nonsense that he didn't even believe himself: "But after saving you, I found that this wouldn't work, it would be a bit of a waste to just be a maid."

"..." Night Dream was silent.

"As for being a concubine, I haven't reached the Innate Grandmaster realm yet, so I can't be seduced by you and lose my virginity, which would affect my future." Fang Che said.

"...!"

Night Dream lowered her head, unable to resist rolling her eyes secretly.

"So after thinking about it, you're not of much use."

Fang Che said with confidence.

Night Dream: "I..."

Fang Che said: "So I had to give you some benefits, so that you can also practice martial arts. That way, you might be able to be of some use in the future."

Fang Che naturally said, "So starting tomorrow, you will follow me to practice. If you don't meet my requirements in the future, I will still abandon you at any time."

"Understood?"

"This servant understands."

"Well, work hard, I don't need a useless person."

Fang Che wiped his feet and lay down on the bed, "Why haven't you left yet? Do you want to serve me in bed? Let me tell you, don't even think about such a good thing."

"!!!"

Night Dream lowered her head and clenched her fists.

She turned around angrily and walked out, "This servant takes her leave!"

"You can dream about it."

Fang Che added.

The sound of footsteps grew heavier.

Fang Che had already fallen asleep, and the bedroom was silent.

Outside.

Night Dream tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

She always felt that this mission was going so smoothly, everything was proceeding according to the most ideal outcome in her mind.

Before coming, she had prepared herself for how difficult, how dangerous it would be.

But now it feels... it doesn't seem like that?

Everything had been considered, even how to use illusions or a substitute if this guy forcefully demanded her to serve him in bed... everything was properly arranged.

But now, is that it?

That night.

Night Dream issued her first undercover report from Fang Che's side.
