Chapter 1368 Miss Yan's Star Selection [Two-in-One]

Fang Che remained calm and composed, transmitting his thoughts through the Boundless True Scripture, and said with a smile, "Yes, I'll find an opportunity to take a good look at it, I'll take a good look at it."

Yan Beihan paused for a moment before realizing what those words meant.

He was instantly filled with shame and anger. He took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. He felt ashamed and angry, yet inexplicably wanted to laugh.

He roared, "Bi Yunyan!"

Bi Yunyan leaped out: "Lord Yan!"

"Go, cut off Fang Che's dog head!" Yan Beihan pointed with her jade-like hand.

"what?"

Bi Yunyan looked completely bewildered: "Me?"

I was instantly filled with utter disgust. You're not going to take action because you're afraid of affecting our relationship, but I'm not afraid at all?

She really is a vicious first wife!
Is the happiness of a concubine not happiness?

He said weakly, "Lord Yan, the Cloud Ranking is in the foreground, and private life-or-death battles are not allowed."

Yan Beihan glared at her and scolded, "Look at you, so spineless."

Turning to Fang Che, he said, "Fang Tu! You wait!"

Fang Che said sternly, "I am ready to learn from Miss Yan's skills anytime. I want to see how many rounds Miss Yan can last!"

Ye Meng watched from the hidden star array high in the sky, watching as the two adulterous people below finally ended their public flirting.

"Humph."

I rolled my eyes in my sleep.

But looking at the tall and elegant Yan Beihan, Ye Meng couldn't help but make a comparison.

As for the chest... well, everyone, they're neck and neck. The waist... is about the same too, and their weight is roughly... about the same.

Appearance... well, I'm not bad either.

Skin... is fine.

But compared to others, Ye Meng sighed, realizing she was 1.69 meters tall; Yan Beihan must be 1.76 meters tall...

Bi Yunyan is also two or three centimeters taller than me.

What's most infuriating is that it's so tall yet still has a perfect golden ratio.

Ye Meng could tell at a glance that she might not be afraid of her in any way compared to others, but when it came to legs... well, that would be a bit of bullying.

No, it was being bullied.

Moreover, both Yan Beihan and Bi Yunyan came from top families across the continent, and their demeanor, cultivated from childhood, was simply innate and perfectly natural.

He sighed in his dream.

The gap caused by this kind of background is truly incomparable and impossible to bridge.

Their every move is natural and effortless; your forced training and imitation results in something awkward and unnatural. That's the difference.

"It's better to stay true to yourself."

Ye Meng bit her lip and sighed.

"Miss Yan is actually quite... quite cute, and quite pitiful."

Compared to Yan Beihan, Ye Meng was quick to realize that Fang Che was not a man she could possess all by herself.

Moreover, ever since arriving at headquarters, Dongfang San San and Feng Yun Qi have been intentionally or unintentionally instilling some ideas of the strong in Ye Meng...

It's incredibly easy for two old foxes to influence a young girl in this regard.

This quickly made Ye Meng even less resistant...

Seeing Yan Beihan now, although my heart still aches a little, I actually really want to go up and make friends with him...

It has to be said that Dongfang San San and Feng Yun Qi, those two old foxes, have brainwashed a perfectly good girl to this extent in order to create benefits for their nephew...

Fang Che is currently preoccupied with the potential for unrest in the inner quarters, unaware that Feng Yunqi and Dongfang San San have already taken precautions and prepared for him.

As for the True Self Sect... there's even less to worry about there: Yan Beihan's constant bizarre actions and various inexplicable attempts to develop his own teammates have already left him breathless.

I'm too embarrassed to be jealous: I brought this all on myself, how can I be jealous?

How dare you be jealous?
So now Miss Yan spends her free time reflecting on herself: Is there something I did wrong?
Bi Yunyan was practically dragged into this mess by herself! She didn't want to get involved, so she actually had to personally persuade her in the first place…

Now it seems Feng Xue is also...

"Something must have gone wrong!" Yan Beihan gritted his teeth.

This can't go on any longer. If this continues, am I supposed to personally arrange a whole class of wives for him?

Yan Beihan glanced at Feng Xue, who stood out like a crane among chickens in the crowd, her charm and elegance unparalleled...

snort!
With such big breasts, coming in like this is ruining the balance...

The day's events were rather uneventful.

Even Feng Yun and Xue Changqing have returned.

Most of the people on the Weapon Ranking have returned to their original camps: It is daytime now, and although the chairs on the Cloud Weapon Ranking are still there, no one can see them sitting on them.

Then why keep sitting up there?
July 15th is the perfect time to cool off! Sitting on it during the day, you feel like you're being roasted alive.

After Feng Yun came down, he called Yan Beihan, and then the two of them came to the Night Demon that Feng Du was disguised as.

Set up a soundproof enclosure.

Then the three of them gathered together.

"Chief Protector, you've worked hard."

Feng Yun smiled respectfully.

"Hmm. It's alright."

Feng Du said calmly. For him, simply pretending to be the Night Demon and sitting here without moving was more suitable than Sun Wutian. After all, Old Sun was restless, while Feng Du... could sit here without moving for a hundred years without any problem.

Because he sat down and mentally worked out the Go game.

Once you start studying the score, it's him for a day, for a month, and for a year.

The passage of time is no big deal.

Now that Feng Yun had come to discuss matters, Feng Du remained calm. He had always held his descendant in high regard, and during his time away from home, everything he had heard from Feng Yun, regardless of who he spoke of, had pleased him greatly!

Seeing how things were handled today, I am even more satisfied.

"Since you can't make a move or add stars to our list, we need to find a reason to give you an excuse not to participate in the Cloud Weapon Ranking."

Feng Yun said, "Therefore, when it comes to the Star-Pointing Challenge, we have two options. The first is for you to propose the Star-Pointing Challenge in advance, and then have Lord Yan or I stop you and wait and see. The second is to simply say nothing, wait and see, and ultimately decide not to go for it."

Feng Yun humbly asked, "Which one do you think is more suitable?"

Feng Du said, "Since you've said that, you must have an idea. Just tell me."

Feng Yun smiled and said, "As far as I know, the Guardians should have a special force to intercept the Night Demon."

"Ah."

"I had originally decided to go out and take on some challenges, to be a bit arrogant and show the characteristics of the Night Demon. But I was dissuaded."

Feng Yun said, "But then I thought about it, why bother with that kind of acting? Acting like that would make it seem like we didn't discuss it beforehand, and it would give the impression that we were putting on an act. Because we can't do something like this without discussing it beforehand."

"Therefore, it would be a loophole for us to stop Night Demon from climbing the rankings in public, or to suggest that he postpone his climb."

"Moreover, given the strength of our righteous sect and the temperament of the Night Demon, I can charge if I want to, and I can stay away from charging if I don't want to. Why should others understand what I do?"

"So I feel that it would be better to just let things take their course, remain silent, and show an attitude of 'think whatever you want,' which is in line with our approach and best suits the Night Demon's personality and style."

Feng Yun said, "What do you think?"

Feng Du readily agreed, "Let's do it that way."

Feng Yunyan Beihan: The Chief Protector is really easy to talk to today!

"Let's leave it at that for now."

Yan Beihan frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and said, "It's always better to make our choices with a confident attitude than with a guilty conscience. Whether they suspect us or not, besides, there's no flaw in our reasoning, so what is there to suspect?"

"So we really don't need to walk on thin ice every day. Too much energy is wasted on these weaknesses, and it's natural to be cautious and not expose them. But if you doubt yourself every day, you're just handing a knife to the enemy."

"So I think the best approach is to do nothing. After all, there's nothing he needs to do there right now. He should just be his upright and righteous guardian without any worries, restrictions, or constraints."

"That's it."

Feng Yun strongly agreed.

Feng Du accepted everything: "Okay, you can handle it as you see fit."

"When we need your cooperation, we can make adjustments as needed; there's plenty of time."

"Ok."

Feng Du sat quietly at the back of the crowd, closed his eyes, and began to read the score.

Feng Yun and Yan Beihan walked quite a distance, and both of them felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

"That's weird."

Yan Beihan couldn't help but scratch his head.

Feng Yun felt the same way, so he pressed on, "Then what do you think is strange?"

“The Chief Protector was very friendly to me before, but I didn’t notice it at all this time…” Yan Beihan frowned.

"Ok?"

Feng Yun's eyes narrowed: "This... Lord Yan..."

He switched to telepathy, his voice trembling slightly: "This Night Demon... could it be my ancestor in disguise? I feel like it does."

Yan Beihan thought for a moment, then his eyes widened suddenly: "This...this seems very likely! Hiss..."

I couldn't help but gasp. I was sweating a little.

"When the Night Demon arrived, he immediately engaged Fang Che in battle. With two identities, one of them must be fake. The Night Demon who arrived at the beginning must have been the real one. Therefore, the one on the other side must be the Chief Protector."

"But the person on the other side was still there when the switch happened here, so there must be a third person. And we all know that the Ancestor came with the Night Demon and the Chief Protector..."

Feng Yun is the type who understands things immediately.

Once a doubt arises, the truth can be discovered instantly.

The Night Demon who just spoke to me is definitely the Ancestor!

God!

As he spoke, Feng Yun broke out in a cold sweat: Just now... Vice Chief Master Chen was reprimanding my ancestor in a stern voice.

Ouch……

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on Feng Yun's forehead, and his eyes widened in disbelief: So, the Ancestor also saw what Emperor Wu did. Would he have any thoughts about that?

Does the treatment I took conform to the ancestor's assessment?
Feng Yun felt uneasy.

Feng Du didn't care at all what Feng Yun was thinking. After mentally rehearsing the score, he suddenly heard a faint 'snap' sound.

The sound was distant and very faint.

Moreover, the surrounding area was packed with people, making the image very blurry.

But none of this is a problem for those who oppose separatism.

He instantly recognized it: Holy crap! That was the sound of a chess piece falling onto the chessboard.

This sound is simply heavenly!
Feng Du silently extended his divine sense and began searching. Where was they playing chess? They didn't even call me to play chess?!

Damn it.

He quickly found someone to play chess with.

There were only two people.

Yan Nan, and Dongfang San San!

"Grass!"

At that moment, Feng Du felt like he had been utterly humiliated.

Who else could it be but the two of them!

The temptation is too great!

Besides, Yan Nan, what's your skill level? You want to play chess with Dongfang San San? I'd be much better off giving you that opportunity!

I've never played chess with Dongfang San San before! Playing chess with a wise man like that must be so exciting! Feng Du's brain was about to explode with anxiety.

With his current cultivation level, he could send his divine sense to observe anyone playing chess, but he couldn't do that with Dongfang San San!

Even if Dongfang San San could be fooled by him, Xue Wu and that old woman were sitting next to him!

If I were to use my divine sense to observe the battle, those two would be able to detect and recognize me. Then the Night Demon would be doomed.

But... I really want to see it.

Feng Du roared inwardly, suddenly wanting to beat Sun Wutian to a pulp!
On Dongfang San San and Yan Nan's side, the calm was somewhat frightening. The two were playing chess, and it was clear that Yan Nan was at a disadvantage.

You could tell from the expression on his face.

Very solemn.

This made Feng Du even more worried, and he even cursed in his heart: Useless! You're only good at bullying your own kind, you're quite capable when you're scolding your third brother! As for your chess skills, don't you know what level you're at? You really don't know your own limitations! This time, I, your third brother, should have led the team—if only I had known there would be an opportunity to play chess with Dongfang San San.

They wasted a chance to play chess.

I am filled with melancholy.

So he sent a message to Sun Wutian: "Can you check if Chen Xi has arrived?"

Feng Du's divine sense searched for Chen Xi's faction but found nothing.

Sun Wutian then began recklessly using his divine sense to search for people. Unable to find them, he sent a message to headquarters: Where is Chen Xi?

The reply came from the other end: Lord Chen is in Shenjing.

not coming.

Sun Wutian sent a message to Feng Du.

Feng Du immediately sent back a message: "Sun Wutian! You pig!"

Sun Wutian was furious.

What does it matter to me if Chenxi didn't come?

You blame me for not having a chance to play chess?

So I replied: "Strategist Dongfang played a truly excellent game! Fifth Brother is quite skilled at chess, but he couldn't keep up after just a few moves. Alas, it's a pity you can't play yourself, otherwise you would definitely let Dongfang San San know the power of the 'Only My Righteous Sect'!"
Feng Du choked on his breath.

He was so suffocated that his lungs were so big they could hold the entire chessboard peak.

"I'm going crazy..."

Yan Nan, of course, had no idea that there was someone below who was so anxious their liver was swollen, so after losing the first round, he quickly started the second round.

Anyway, there's still plenty of time.

He never expected to beat Dongfang San San; he was playing chess with a mindset of "happy to win and glad to lose".

Lost five games in a row!

Sun Wutian's divine sense enveloped Feng Du step by step, broadcasting the scene live.

Feng Du was so angry that he turned into a balloon.

Based on each move of the game broadcast by Sun Wutian, he could see that Dongfang San San's chess skills had reached an unbelievable level.

It's at least a bit taller than Night Demon.

As for whether someone can surpass oneself, that's hard to say; it needs to be tested in actual combat.

Such an opponent is hard to find anywhere in the world!

However, Feng Du didn't get the chance to play chess with Dongfang San San...

"I'm going crazy... I'm really going crazy!" Feng Du sent a furious message to Sun Wutian: "You pig! You're deliberately trying to provoke me!"

Sun Wutian said smugly, "Third Brother, how about I play a game with you?"

"roll!"

Feng Du was furious: "You can't even tell life and death! What right do you have to play chess with me!"

The Cloud Armory Wars have begun, drawing the attention of heroes from across the land. Six factions clash, and everyone's blood is boiling with excitement. But amidst this fiery atmosphere…

Surprisingly, this has produced the most frustrated person: the one who opposes independence!
By the afternoon, Feng Du was so frustrated that he wanted nothing more than to massacre the entire Qipan Peak.

"Holy crap!"

Feng Du said.

The gamblers had the most fulfilling day, as they finally figured out the rules. Dozens of people pooled their wisdom and efforts to devise 36,750 betting methods and payout schemes.

Other suggestions will not be adopted.

that's it.

There are many options with extremely high odds: the highest odds are for betting one spirit crystal, and if you bet correctly, you can win eight hundred million spirit crystals!
However... the gamblers completely ignore the ones with the highest odds: you need to bet on all the names on the leaderboard and then bet on everyone's final ranking.

This rule is absolutely awful!

It was specifically designed to mess with people's mentality!

Dongfang San San and Yan Nan discussed betting on this grand prize, but neither of them could win!

Not to mention others.

But finally the rules have been released, and the betting can now begin.

A long table was pulled out, and they started collecting money.

Yu Tianqi personally intervened to ensure the fairness of the betting game—this was orchestrated by the Guardians.

We accept bets from any side: bet whatever you want! We don't discriminate based on whether you're a cult, a sect, or a rogue cultivator...

Sure enough, everyone became interested.

The bettors were very enthusiastic. And everyone was very generous: What place is this?
Chessboard Peak!

It's a cloud-based weapon ranking system now!
Everyone here is a person of status. Is it appropriate for you to bet one or two spirit crystals?

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?!

So everyone was acting like they were rich and powerful – almost everyone who came here and was qualified to watch the game was genuinely wealthy and powerful.

Top-grade spirit crystals generally start at one hundred yuan.

"Get him!"

"I'm going to make a fortune today!"

One by one, the receipts began to be produced.

But the vast majority of real gamblers held onto their money without touching it, knowing that only those who could place a star would actually go up two.

It's not too late to place your bets after everyone on the leaderboard has finished adding stars!
What's the use of just betting on Feng Yun and Xue Changqing now?

The big part is at the back.

At least once the names of the people involved are clear, those who should have been removed from their posts will have already done so, and we can gain a lot of advantage from that.

The sweltering day, which felt like an eternity as everyone eagerly awaited its end, finally came to a close as the sun slowly sank below the horizon.

Everyone's heart started pounding.

It's starting again.

Night falls.

A thin veil was suddenly lifted, revealing the Cloud Weapon Compendium, glittering with starlight.

Beams of light shot down.

But today, there is no coercion, nor invitation. Everything appears simultaneously, like a curtain being drawn back all at once.

However, all the people on the weapon ranking list, except for the two who were shot down, are still there.

Neatly arranged, not one missing!
Especially Rui Qianshan, the Madman Halberd, who led the way, sat upright and solemnly, like a god sitting in a temple.

The sacred aura was radiant, the starlight was dazzling, and the scenery was indescribably magnificent.

Madman Halberd must have been taught a lesson by Ice and Snow during the day.

So now she is much more dignified.

Below, there was still an atmosphere of envy, worship, longing, and awe; while the higher-ups remained speechless: "He's gone up again! He didn't have to!"
Seriously... never enough showing off.

The challenge of the starlight shot up, soaring straight to 998th place.

Feng Yun immediately issued a challenge. He had no choice; if he didn't move, Xue Changqing would start challenging him... and in the initial stages, it was absolutely impossible for the two of them to make a move.

Soon, Feng Yun advanced to rank 998, winning three consecutive matches, and directly challenged for rank 994.

Xue Changqing steadily improved by 999 places.

Below, a slender figure soared straight into the sky, taking the lead without hesitation.

Yan Beihan's graceful figure leaped up, and with a wave of her slender hand, a large hand grasped the golden pen.

In the dream, dressed in white, a green branch touched her skin, and a ray of starlight entered Yan Beihan's body.

Yan Beihan turned to look at Ye Meng, who clasped her hands in front of her and smiled gently: "Miss Yan, congratulations on your soaring success."

Yan Beihan felt a jolt in her heart and couldn't help but smile back, "You're so beautiful."

"It's just a reflection in the clouds."

Ye Meng smiled and said, "I lack depth and temperament. I still need to learn from Miss Ye."

Yan Beihan smiled and said, "We should spend more time together when we have time."

"expect."

Amidst the dazzling starlight, the two stunning beauties smiled at each other, evoking a strange feeling of 'heroes appreciating heroes, beauties appreciating beauties'.

Everyone felt they had seen the most beautiful scenery of their lives.

The cold, ethereal energy of Yanbei surged forth from the tip of the golden pen, illuminating the dark star ahead. Suddenly, an extremely noble purple light shone brightly in the night sky!

Even the entire Cloud Weaponry Spectrum instantly lost its color.

Only this supreme purple, so bright and dazzling, illuminates the vast sky.

Magnificent, noble, profound, beautiful, and exquisitely beautiful.

Moreover, within the purple hue, there are faint specks of starlight, as if forming its own purple universe.

Yan Nan and Dongfang San San were both shocked.

Neither of them expected this to happen, especially Yan Nan. He never imagined his granddaughter would possess such an aura.

"Brother Yan..."

Dongfang San San's expression was solemn, her eyes even shining with a hint of shock: "Brother Yan, your granddaughter..."

Yan Nan's shock quickly turned into pride: "What do you think of my granddaughter?"

"Extremely valuable!"

Dongfang San San gazed at the sky, looking at the noble purple, and said softly, "The Golden Pen Points to Stars relies on cultivation, combat power, innate destiny, and acquired opportunities... Yan Bei Han, this girl is extraordinary."

"How amazing is she?" Yan Nan loved hearing others praise his granddaughter.

Now that it's Dongfang San San praising his granddaughter, he's so happy he's practically fuming.

“She’s remarkable in every way.” Dongfang San San looked at the purple that filled the night sky: “Her innate destiny is noble, and her acquired destiny is even more noble. She is pure and kind-hearted, untainted by worldly affairs, uninvolved in karma, uninvolved in trouble, unstained by bloodshed, and untouched by retribution; this is the girl’s destiny, her conduct, and her fortune. Moreover…”

"Moreover, you also have accumulated merit... Brother Yan, did you see those faint starlight and purple aura? That is merit. It's like the creation of heaven and earth... bringing blessings to countless generations."

Dongfang San San was genuinely surprised: "The righteous sect actually has such a person? With such good fortune and merit, even if one encounters misfortune, one can turn bad luck into good and disaster into auspiciousness!"

Yan Nan was overjoyed. Her gaze towards Dongfang San San was filled with warmth, as if she were looking at family. She smiled reservedly and said, "It's alright, it's alright, hahaha..."

Dongfang Sansan laughed and said, "No wonder you're so proud to have such a granddaughter. Anyone would be proud."

Yan Nan happily blew on his beard and laughed, "So, as long as you don't dig a pit for her in this life, she'll be basically safe?"

Dongfang Sansan said solemnly, "Brother Yan, to be honest, even if this person weren't your granddaughter, I wouldn't dare kill her! Killing her would be a great loss to the world! And it would severely damage my own fortune!"

Yan Nan laughed loudly: "Then I'm relieved."

Dongfang San San smiled and said, "I'm relieved. You forgot, this girl also calls me grandpa."

Yan Nan laughed heartily, but then suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and said sincerely and earnestly through telepathy, "Dongfang, if one day... I am gone, I entrust my granddaughter to you. In this life, the person I hate the most is you, but the person I can trust the most is also you."

Dongfang Sansan's heart skipped a beat, and she stared intently at Yan Nan.

But Yan Nan looked at Yan Beihan in the air with a loving smile, as if she hadn't said those words before.
