"Your master said you were top-tier?" Huang Yifan asked with a very strange tone.

"Yes… possibly even higher, but my master couldn't be sure."

Fang Che said, "After all, my master doesn't have the same resources as our Martial Academy."

"Your master is simply a super idiot…"

Huang Yifan blurted out.

Then he realized that scolding someone's master to their face might cause resentment, but when he looked at Fang Che's expression, he saw that he was calm and didn't seem to mind at all.

Huang Yifan laughed and said some polite words, then let Fang Che leave.

"Go back and rest well, focus on practicing your skills. The others haven't arrived yet, so seize the opportunity to cultivate. The New Student Competition is especially important, so be sure to take it seriously."

"Yes."

Fang Che left.

Watching Fang Che leave, Lu Jiaoshan finally couldn't help but ask, "Why did you block me just now?"

Huang Yifan said angrily, "Aren't you talking nonsense? If I didn't need to block you, why would I block you? Since I blocked you, it means I didn't want you to know. Why are you asking? Isn't that like taking off your pants to fart, completely unnecessary?"

Lu Jiaoshan stared blankly, "..."

What you said makes so much sense, I'm actually speechless!

Immediately, Huang Yifan stood up, looking somewhat anxious.

"I need to go out for a while. I have important matters to attend to. If anyone is looking for me, tell them to wait."

After Huang Yifan finished speaking, he went straight through the window.

He was in such a hurry that it felt like his butt was on fire.

Lu Jiaoshan hadn't recovered from the shock of discovering a peerless genius. He looked on in astonishment as Huang Yifan disappeared without a trace.

He couldn't help but mutter, "What could be so important that the old codger is in such a hurry?"

Huang Yifan could be said to be a little anxious now.

If Fang Che's aptitude was ordinary, he wouldn't be so anxious.

But such an earth-shattering talent was a matter bigger than the heavens.

The news that "Fang Che is a member of the One Heart Sect" was given to him by Chen Ruhai; and Chen Ruhai was his old subordinate from back in the day.

Although this guy has a bad temper and is sloppy, he is meticulous in important matters and has never made a mistake.

But his own investigation didn't match the information.

And he just so happens to be a world-shaking genius.

This must be taken seriously.

Whether this news is true or false, it is an extremely shocking piece of information.

If he didn't figure this out, Huang Yifan felt like he wouldn't even be able to sleep.

So he picked up his top speed and rushed to Azure Wave City like a shooting star.

Chen Ruhai was behind closed doors, rubbing his feet.

The indoor smell was strong.

With a bang, Huang Yifan crashed through the window, and the next moment.

Along with an angry curse, there was another bang.

Chen Ruhai was kicked into the wall.

Then Huang Yifan flew out again with a whoosh.

Cursing outside! "Can't you have some image, all you do all day is pick at your stinky feet!"

Huang Yifan was furious, he almost suffocated when he flew in.

How comfortable was the fresh air during flight, and then he took a big gulp of salted fish smell.

Under the strong contrast, he almost suffocated.

A feeling of nausea arose spontaneously, and his stomach churned suddenly, almost making him vomit.

Chen Ruhai almost shouted "Assassin!" but swallowed it back, slid down from the wall, quickly waved his hand, opened all the doors and windows, and threw out the air in the room along with the foot skin he had rubbed off with a whoosh.

He quickly dressed neatly, with a flattering expression: "Boss, boss, why are you here? Please have a seat."

"Find another place!"

Huang Yifan was furious: "Also, go wash your hands! Hurry up!"

Chen Ruhai hurriedly wiggled his butt and rushed out: "Quick, quick... find a clean room..."

A moment later, sitting in a clean reception room.

Chen Ruhai was washed clean and radiant.

He even carried a few sachets on him.

Fragrant and rich.

"You sit there!"

Huang Yifan pressed Chen Ruhai down in the place farthest from him, and then he rinsed the chair under his butt again with spiritual energy, and brushed the entire room with spiritual energy.

Then he closed the door before setting up a soundproof barrier.

Logically speaking, Huang Yifan is really not a clean person usually.

He can really be said to be sloppy enough.

But when he gets to Chen Ruhai's place, he must be a model of hygiene.

It's really... unbearable.

"Do you know why I'm here this time?"

Chen Ruhai immediately understood and said, "Fang Che has already arrived at the Martial Academy?"

"That's right."

"Does the boss have ideas about him?"

"That's right."

"I wonder what the boss thinks?"

Chen Ruhai asked.

"Under my mental pressure, he has been suppressed to the point of collapse, without any problems. He is completely upright, kind, hates evil, has a chivalrous heart, and a sense of justice."

Huang Yifan's eyes were bright as he said, word by word, "Are you mistaken?"

Chen Ruhai was about to answer when Huang Yifan continued, "Think carefully before you answer. This matter is extremely important now!"

"Extremely important?!"

Chen Ruhai suddenly looked up.

"Yes."

Chen Ruhai pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, I won't make a judgment. The information is all from my personal collection and hasn't passed through anyone's hands. Boss, you can judge for yourself."

He stood up and went to his secret room.

Then he brought over a pile of information.

Inside, were analyses of every word and action of Fang Che.

Every sentence had annotations.

Including the existence of Night Dream.

As well as all the information Night Dream sent back, and the things done based on the information.

Huang Yifan read very slowly.

He was almost chewing and thinking about every single word.

In between, he didn't say a single word.

He came in the morning.

But by the time he finished reading the information, it was already dawn.

He hadn't said a word, hadn't drunk a sip of water, and hadn't even moved from his spot.

Every word recorded was chewed over and pondered several times.

The sound of a rooster crowing arrived in sync with a sliver of dawn.

Huang Yifan finally put down the dossier, closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and quietly pondered.

Chen Ruhai had been accompanying him the whole time.

Likewise, he didn't dare make a sound.

After a long while, Huang Yifan opened his eyes and said, "According to the information, this Fang Che is undoubtedly a member of the One Heart Sect. But I still trust my own judgment from the test; this Fang Che should be a good kid."

Chen Ruhai's expression didn't change as he said, "This point, this subordinate wouldn't dare say for sure. The reason for notifying you, Boss, is to nip things in the bud, just in case."

"I understand, I will keep a close eye on him."

Huang Yifan sighed softly and said, "Today, you don't need to follow me. I'll wander around this Azure Wave City."

Then he said, "After I'm done wandering, I'll go back. I won't tell you when I leave."

"Now that you've come all this way, Boss, why not have a simple meal before leaving? This little brother can take the opportunity to play host..."

"Get the hell out of here! Eating with you, even immortals wouldn't be able to stomach it!"

Huang Yifan rolled his eyes.

He casually tossed two bottles of pills over, saying, "One pill every seven days. There are a hundred pills in here. Come find me when you're done."

"Yes."

Chen Ruhai accepted them as if they were treasures.

"The Thousand Layer Corpse Poison can't be resolved, but you can't just give up on yourself like this, can you? It's already reached your feet; can't you even hide this one foot? You're still a Guardian Hall Master, what kind of appearance is that?!"

Huang Yifan reprimanded.

"Yes, you're right, Boss."

Huang Yifan waved his hand and disappeared without a trace.

Chen Ruhai sighed, stood quietly for a long time, then went back and read the dossier again himself.

Then, he opened the side of his bed and placed the dossier inside. He locked it again, added camouflage to the outside, and then placed a pillow on top.

Huang Yifan stayed in Azure Wave City for a full three days.

Only then did he return.

Meanwhile, Fang Che quickly returned to his House of the Virtuous.

"Young Master, you're back."

Night Dream stepped forward very diligently, helping Fang Che take off his cloak and hang it on the rack, while saying, "The large courtyard next door to us has also been bought. I don't know who it is. Since you weren't back, Young Master, I didn't dare to inquire."

"Oh?"

Fang Che's eyes flickered.

When I bought it, the place next door was still empty, no one lived there.

I just bought it, and there's someone next door? 'It's either the One Heart Sect or the Guardian Hall.'

Fang Che knew what was up, and said, "Are you going to manage who buys a house? You're meddling too much, girl. All you've done these past few days is eat, with no progress. When are you going to break through? Hurry up and cultivate!"

As usual, he lectured Night Dream.

Night Dream pouted.

It's really hard to get a kind word out of this guy's mouth.

Fang Che had already gone to practice his skills, not caring which side the neighbors were from. If they were from the One Heart Sect, they would contact him.

And if they were from the Guardian Hall, he'd leave it to Night Dream.

That night.

Fang Che was shaken awake from his dream.

He could only feel the earth beneath him trembling slightly. This wasn't just a local tremor, it was like... a super-range shock.

As an old hand, Fang Che immediately realized that somewhere far away, super powerful people were fighting.

And the aftershocks of the battle shook a certain earth vein, which caused a slight earthquake phenomenon here.

"According to this tremor, the place of the battle is probably very far away. And the people who can cause such a tremor are simply unimaginable."

Fang Che lay on the bed, feeling the tremor, his heart filled with horror.

Such a powerful existence, even the previous life's self, would be blown into ashes with a single breath, right? Who is it?

The next day.

Fang Qingyun hosted a welcome dinner for Fang Che, and Fang Che took the opportunity to feed the remaining Heavenly Vein Vermillion Fruit to Fang Qingyun.

Fang Qingyun didn't even notice it from beginning to end, and several classmates were talking loudly beside him, so he drank until he was completely drunk.

He went back to sleep.

In the morning.

Fang Qingyun's roommates were stunk awake.

"Damn... Fang Qingyun, did you shit?!"

Several people covered their noses and ran out, throwing a brick from outside the door onto Fang Qingyun's bed, who was snoring, "You can't just solve it in the quilt after drinking..."

Fang Qingyun woke up slowly, feeling the rich fragrance in the room, and couldn't help but burst into abuse: "Who shit?"

An hour later.

The washed-up Fang Qingyun was surrounded and beaten up by his roommates.

The sheets and bedding were completely unusable and were directly cremated.

Then Fang Qingyun, completely bewildered, humbled himself, begged, and went into debt for a month's worth of meals before he managed to shut a few people up.

The few reluctantly agreed not to spread the word about him 'wetting the bed'.

With the matter settled,

Fang Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief.

But he knew very well that he definitely hadn't wet the bed! So what exactly was going on?

He had a meal with his cousin...

It wasn't until three days later that news of the midnight earthquake finally arrived.

Blade and Spear Clash, Blade Loses by One Move! As soon as the news came out, the world was shaken!
