Monarch Night

This sentence, when combined with his own perfect spear path and Jun Lin's spear path philosophy, suddenly gave him a feeling like countless paths converging to a single one.

It shook his mind and spirit.

Sitting motionless on the battlements of the city wall.

Fang Che suddenly felt his thoughts become a tangled mess.

As if something was consolidating but also something was being torn apart.

He sat quietly, motionless.

The gentle breeze blew, the bright moon hung in the sky, and stars twinkled, Duan Xiyang was long gone.

...

Duan Xiyang walked along the main road outside the city, inexplicably feeling somewhat delighted.

Even the night breeze brushing against his face felt somewhat soft.

He recalled what that little fellow said.

"Why do you learn the spear?"

"Because of you!"

"Why?"

"To defeat you!"

Duan Xiyang smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth.

An interesting little fellow.

He was absolutely confident that under his Baigu Soul Suppressing technique, even those of the same rank as himself would struggle to resist, let alone a shrimp-like boy.

So, these two sentences must have come from the heart.

Thinking about how he coincidentally ran into Yemo, he also found it a bit incredible, so he took out the Communication Jade and sent Yan Nan a message: "Yan Wu, guess who I ran into?"

Yan Nan was in a good mood but saw the message from Duan Xiyang, so he replied: "Did you run into your Little Xue?"

Duan Xiyang's face darkened.

What's so good about running into Xue Fuxiao?

He said: "I'm in Baiyun State and met a Guardian Hall Steward Jinxing named Fang Che; with a lot of potential."

Yan Nan immediately became nervous: "Damn you... you didn't kill him, did you?"

"Didn't kill, just when I was about to strike, this kid told me he was Yemo."

Duan Xiyang snorted: "He's one of us."

Yan Nan let out a sigh of relief: "Good thing you didn't kill him, this little guy has great use for me!"

Then with great interest he asked: "What do you think of this little guy?"

"Naturally gifted in spear bone. A very promising seedling." Duan Xiyang said.

"Spear bone?"

Yan Nan was stunned. Are we talking about the same person? How did it become spear bone?

"Are you sure you met Yemo?"

"How can it be wrong? He even showed me communication with Miss Yan, how could I misidentify someone so casually?"

Duan Xiyang was displeased.

Does Yan Wu underestimate me?

"But doesn't Yemo use a sword?"

Yan Nan was even more puzzled: "His ace skill is the Blood Spirit Seven Swords of the Yixin Sect Leader's Yin Shen Palace; and according to Han'er, he was born with a sword bone. That's why I rewarded him with the more advanced Blood Spirit Seven Swords Sword Manual from Yin Shen Palace, how could it be spear bone?"

Duan Xiyang was also taken aback by this: "How could it be a sword? When I met him, he was clearly holding a spear."

Yan Nan began to rub his temples: "Miss Han asked me for the Divine Attribute Metal, which is to make a sword for Yemo."

"What use does he have for making a sword?" Duan Xiyang also knitted his brows: "His true calling is the spear. I've practiced spears my whole life, do you think I could even misidentify spear bone?"

Yan Nan started scratching his head.

Duan Xiyang surely couldn't be wrong.

So, was it Yan Beihan's judgment that's flawed?

Thinking about it, Yan Nan decided to put this issue aside for now, and said: "What are this little fellow's future prospects?"

"Within twenty years, he could make it onto the Cloud Weapon List."

Duan Xiyang thought for a moment and gave this evaluation.

Originally, he wanted to say about ten years, but considering that this guy was at the grassroots level below, lacking resources, ten years was probably impossible.

Yan Nan was shocked: "Isn't that faster than you?"

"Yes, faster than me. But whether he can actually grow up remains uncertain."

Duan Xiyang said: "Besides, he's practicing the spear because of me, to defeat me."

Yan Nan laughed heartily.

"And this kid also wants to take me as his master. What a dream."

"Actually, taking on an apprentice might not be bad." Yan Nan advised.

"If he takes me as his master, he'll never surpass me in his lifetime."

Duan Xiyang paused before speaking.

Yan Nan was truly surprised.

Duan Xiyang's evaluation of Yemo was actually so high?

Thinking about how Dongfang Sansan tried every means to kill, yet Duan Xiyang still gave such a high rating, Yan Nan was now increasingly interested in this Yemo.

"Did you use Baigu Soul Suppressing?"

Yan Nan asked.

"Yes."

Duan Xiyang said flatly: "From beginning to end, Baigu Soul Suppressing."

Yan Nan was completely relieved.

In this world, no one can hide secrets under Baigu Soul Suppressing!

Since learning about Yemo, his last remaining doubts vanished into thin air.

So he instructed Duan Xiyang: "The identity of this kid is still top secret, you must not leak it. Besides me, you can't tell anyone else."

Duan Xiyang was very dissatisfied: "Who else could I tell but you?"

Then he put away the Communication Jade, and no matter what Yan Nan said, Duan Xiyang didn't reply.

Yan Nan gave a few more instructions.

He was truly worried that Duan Xiyang would expose this news, which was an opportunity to crush Dongfang Sansan, something Yan Nan valued greatly.

If by any chance Duan Xiyang gets carried away with Xue Fuxiao and they end up appreciating each other... he might just do such a thing.

But Duan Xiyang remained silent.

Yan Nan had no choice.

So he immediately returned to the Yan Family Courtyard.

...

Yan Beihan was practicing spear diligently, even though she extremely disliked the spear, she had to strive hard—if she didn't practice the spear well, she couldn't obtain the Divine Attribute Metal—without the Divine Attribute Metal, she would break her promise—breaking the promise meant failing to secure Yemo—Yemo going to Chen Yin's side would be a blow, at least Ling Kong and others knew she was constantly striving for Yemo.

So it would also affect her team's confidence in her.
