Chapter 40: Campus Belle Fang Che.
Yen Meng rolled her eyes in exasperation.
"These demonic cultists speak so... Every sentence carries an anti-human quality."
Fang Che quickly refused, "Let's forget about it... Master, speaking of this Ximen Xuri, he is a genius of the Ximen family and also a seedling of the Celestial God Sect. This... it may be easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to avoid an arrow in the dark."
Sun Yuan nodded, "That's for sure. Neither the Celestial God Sect nor the Ximen family will just let this go. But on the side of the Celestial God Sect, we naturally have the One Heart Sect backing us. As for the Ximen family... hmph, let them try to make a move!"
A fierce light flashed in Sun Yuan's eyes.
Fang Che nodded, "Then I can rest assured."
Regarding this matter, Fang Che had long since made up his mind. Since Ximen Xuri had been killed, then so be it, it didn't matter.
As for the retaliation from the Celestial God Sect, Fang Che was not worried either. With the One Heart Sect to block the soldiers and the One Heart Sect's land to cover the water, there was nothing to fear.
As for the Ximen family... since Ximen Xuri was already dead, there was no use keeping this family that had joined the Celestial God Sect.
It's better to just leave it to Sun Yuan.
"Master, I feel somewhat uneasy."
Fang Che frowned, "I always feel like those two corpses are still floating in front of me, it's very uncomfortable."
"Scared you!"
Sun Yuan was startled, hastily saying, "Quickly take a Calming Pill, go rest, and sleep, a good night's sleep will make it better."
He patted Fang Che's shoulder, comforting him, "Although Ximen Xuri is dead, don't let it bother you. After all, the sun rises every day, just think of him as still alive on the sun."
"Master makes sense."
Fang Che sincerely agreed.
Yes, Ximen Xuri is dead, but there shouldn't be a sunrise in the west anyway.
This matter, is reasonable.
After taking the medicine, Fang Che went to his room to rest and sleep.
Sun Yuan was so happy in the courtyard that he couldn't contain himself.
One-third of the mission has been completed.
The Celestial God Sect's seedling, Ximen Xuri, has been killed by Fang Che in one fell swoop.
If the Sect Leader knew about this, how happy would he be!
He should laugh heartily, right?
Sun Yuan could now feel the relief of having taken a breath.
"No, this matter must be reported as soon as possible!"
After all, he was still worried about his disciple. He went in to check on the sleeping Fang Che, sensed that his spirit and soul were stable, and then felt relieved.
He came out and instructed Yen Meng to take good care of him.
Then he hurried away.
....
"Hahaha..."
Late at night, at the headquarters of the One Heart Sect.
Yin Shen Gong laughed heartily, feeling extremely relieved.
"Leader, why are you so happy?" Mu Linyuan asked beside him.
"Night Devil has already killed the seedling of the Celestial God Sect!"
Yin Shen Gong's eyes and brows were as bright as flowers. His originally gloomy face was now full of joy.
He had even forgotten Ximen Xuri's name long ago, only knowing that the seedling of the Celestial God Sect was gone.
It felt so good!
With his hands behind his back, Yin Shen Gong sneered and said, "After the Celestial God Sect suffered setbacks from our sect, they actually sent out letters saying... the One Heart Sect is just like this, only the Celestial God descending to earth can do this and that, and various sarcastic remarks... Now, this Sect Leader has finally taken a breath."
"Leader, do you want to write a letter to the Celestial God Sect?" Mu Linyuan joked.
"...No need. That would expose Night Devil's identity."
Yin Shen Gong pondered for a moment and said, "Night Devil's identity is a secret. Those people from the Celestial God Sect have no bottom line in their actions, they are despicable and shameless, we cannot let them know."
Mu Linyuan agreed repeatedly: "Leader is wise and visionary."
But in his heart, he was thinking: You're talking as if you have some bottom line in your actions.
You're even capable of intercepting and killing their seedling, yet you still have the nerve to talk about having a bottom line.
...
Early in the morning.
When Fang Che arrived at the martial arts academy, he was greeted with words of comfort.
"It was inevitable. In that situation, no one could have held back. Ximen Xuri's death was his own fault, you can't blame yourself."
"That's right, such a despicable person, dead is dead. Shameless enough to use hidden weapons, and even after losing, they still try to sneak attack, what kind of character is that!"
"Don't worry about it."
It has to be said that Fang Qingyun's good reputation played a huge role.
Fang Qingyun also had a smile on his face, genuinely happy. "Little cousin, you've become the flower of the martial arts academy now."
"The flower of the martial arts academy?" Fang Che was speechless.
"Yes, at Baiyun Martial Arts Academy, the four handsome seniors are all seniors; since you came, as a freshman and also the most outstanding one in all the previous sessions, we have decided to appoint you as the only Campus Belle!"
A girl said excitedly.
Fang Che: "..."
"In recent years, some boring people in other martial arts academies have been selecting a Campus Belle among the female martial students, which has angered the female warriors: Are we beautiful or not, Do we need you to judge? Why should we be judged?"
A girl said, "And at our Baiyun Martial Arts Academy, from the beginning, all the girls have been united against it. So, this kind of boring thing has never happened here. But we can select handsome men, considering various aspects..."
Fang Che was completely baffled.
So, this Baiyun Martial Arts Academy is actually a matriarchal society?
Boys can't judge the Campus Belle, but girls can turn around and judge the Campus Beau?
How creative.
"But among your freshmen, no one can compare to you, so... everyone agrees that you are the only Campus Belle!"
Fang Che's jaw almost dropped.
Wasn't it supposed to be the four handsome seniors... or something like that?
How did it become the only Campus Belle?
Me?
Thinking about being called 'Fang Campus Belle' on the street in the future, Fang Che felt like he could die on the spot from embarrassment!
He hurriedly and vehemently objected, "No, I won't be the Campus Belle!"
"Objections are invalid!"
Senior Sister Liu said triumphantly, "Many girls decided on this yesterday. Your objection is useless."
"..."
Fang Che felt like the world in front of him was darkening.
"By the way, yesterday, you were attacked by Ximen Xuri with hidden weapons and then ambushed. Especially after you killed him, that sense of fear, you looked so cute and pitiful... It made some senior sisters feel so sorry for you... They kept saying they wanted to hold you in their arms and comfort you."
A boy said it somewhat jealously.
"Hold you in their arms? Comfort you?"
Fang Che felt like the world was becoming bizarre.
How could this be?
This sentence gave him a strong feeling of being held and rocked like a 'little cat, little dog, little child' in someone's arms.
Fang Che covered his face and fled.
"Hahaha..."
Laughter from the girls followed.
It had to be said, teasing boys felt pretty good.
Especially teasing a boy who was likable, handsome, clean, and refreshing, which made the girls feel even more accomplished.
This is also one of the few remaining pleasures they have in their boring martial arts training.
Fang Qingyun caught up and handed Fang Che some documents.
"This is the information of the other twenty-four winners besides you. I have to say, this time, quite a few people are going to go bankrupt. The competition this time was exceptionally fierce."
Fang Qingyun sighed.
"Who are you betting on, cousin? How much?"
"I never gamble. I haven't been involved since last year."
There was a gentle smile on Fang Qingyun's face. "That's why I have such good relationships."
This statement was somewhat meaningful.
Fang Qingyun didn't say it explicitly, but Fang Che immediately understood.
When everyone around you is losing, and you are the only one with a lot of points, even if you have a bad reputation, it doesn't matter.
Moreover, Fang Qingyun's genuine and elegant gentlemanly personality made his popularity even better.
"How's your recent cultivation? Still at seven thousand, four hundred, and seventy-six?"
Fang Che asked with concern.
This really hit where it hurt!
Fang Qingyun's gentlemanly face visibly darkened, glaring at Fang Che. "I can still hit you!"
Seeing this, Fang Che knew they hadn't started yet.
Otherwise, the Tianmai Zhu Fruit should have had some effect.
So, nodding, he said, "Cousin, do your best! I believe in you."
Fang Qingyun said, "I believe in myself too..."
Before he could finish, his cousin interjected, "You still have room for improvement with the other twenty-four. You should work hard. If you drop to seven thousand five hundred, it's actually not bad. At least it's a whole number!"
A whole number... what the hell!
Fang Qingyun's face immediately turned green.
Grimacing in anger, Fang Qingyun roared, "Fang Che! I'll kill..."
But Fang Che had already run off.
Several girls surrounded him, their eyes unfriendly. "Fang Qingyun, who are you going to kill?"
Fang Qingyun: "..."
My friends, did you betray me and join the cousin side so quickly?
He's only been here for a few days!
...
Twenty-five advance to thirteen.
Fang Che drew the ninth position. This battle was almost without suspense, but Fang Che still delayed for quite a while before finally and very difficultly advancing into the top thirteen.
Compared to the others who decided the outcome within five moves, five of them even won with just one move.
Fang Che's performance appeared extremely lacking.
Among all the students present, when compared with each other, Fang Che's performance was undoubtedly at the bottom.
This performance was definitely that of the last-place finisher in the top thirteen.
Instantly, the betting odds changed dramatically.
Qiu Yunshang, Ding Jueran, Xie Gongping, Huo Churan, and Mo Ganyun, each had over thirty thousand points bet on them.
They were the five who, facing all opponents, had consistently won with just one move from start to finish!
In just an hour, the top thirteen were decided.
It wasn't even close to noon yet.
So, the big showdown between the top thirteen to seven began immediately!
Fang Che drew a lot, and then he couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. It was just so coincidental. He drew the sixth!
Mo Ganyun.
One of the top five favorites to win.
How could he still keep a low profile after this?
Just as Fang Che was contemplating, a sturdy young man over two meters tall on the opposite side also looked up.
His gaze was sharp.
Mo Ganyun!
Mo Ganyun was also eighteen years old, but the robustness of this young man's body exceeded that of a twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old man!
Standing there, he was like a mountain.
Towering and unmoving.
Although tall and sturdy, his whole body was very well-proportioned, looking like a perfectly proportioned person, just a few sizes larger!
Thick hair, thick eyebrows.
Straight nose, wide mouth. At only eighteen, but both sides of his cheeks already had a faint bluish color from daily shaving.
His eyes were sharp as knives.
With long legs and tall stature, just standing there, everyone who saw him automatically thought of various words such as "majestic, sturdy, robust," and so on!
