"Are you there?"
"CPDD."
Fang Xin sent a message to Sui Yan, the King of Reincarnation.
Unexpectedly, the reply came quickly, "Here! Not available!"
Fang Xin couldn't help but chuckle. He often enjoyed internet archaeology in his free time, and few people could keep up with the old memes he dug up.
One of the King of Reincarnation's past lives must have been from that era, so he should be able to get Fang Xin's bad joke.
However, Fang Xin then thought that Sui Yan's current body was very beautiful. He mused that he was just making a joke, and Sui Yan wouldn't possibly misunderstand him as someone trying to use backdoors, would he?
Fang Xin immediately got to the point, "Can you help me with something?"
Sui Yan's reply was very quick, "If it's to pretend to be a girlfriend, then get lost! Even if you're the King of Slaughter, you still have to get lost! I'd rather be beaten to death by you!"
"I'm not binary!"
Fang Xin looked at the message from Sui Yan. From the lines, it seemed Sui Yan had some bad memories.
"I'm guessing someone wants to make a move on me. Come and give me some support!"
"What's in it for me?"
"You can ask for anything. I might not fulfill it, but I will definitely listen to what you say."
Sui Yan was silent for a long time for the first time. After a while, Sui Yan spoke, "Do you have a yuanying fruit?"
Fang Xin was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but become vigilant. Not many people knew he had a yuanying fruit.
Sui Yan seemed to have guessed Fang Xin's suspicion and immediately explained, "Among my many reincarnated bodies, one of my lives was a perception-type expert, so I know many things others don't."
Fang Xin thought for a moment, "The yuanying fruit is still some time away from maturity, and this thing is too rare."
"I can help you once more!"
"Ten times!"
After a few minutes of silence, Sui Yan sent a voice message, "People like you, in the words from a few hundred years ago, would be hung on a lamppost!"
"You can haggle!"
"Three times, no more!"
"Deal!"
Fang Xin and Sui Yan finalized the time and place.
The two chatted for a while longer. Due to his identity as the King of Reincarnation, Sui Yan had awakened earlier than Fang Xin, and was also older than Fang Xin, so his cultivation realm was higher than Fang Xin's.
Fang Xin waited a while, then told Tang Shuang the specific time and place, agreeing to meet on a weekend afternoon.
Zhang Zhen and the others' report was held up until the next afternoon. During this time, the three of them had to revise it many times. In the end, Fang Xin only submitted the military merits for a few team members. Zhang Zhen, Hong Ping, and Rui He's military merits were all removed. If Fang Xin had shown leniency the moment they admitted their mistake, wouldn't everyone think he was a pushover in the future?
These two days, the Ninth Division was busy and orderly. Every day was fulfilling, and Fang Xin didn't have any annoying superiors. His direct superior was Tai Shi Bo, and Tai Shi Bo's superior was Bai Mao Zai. Bai Mao Zai was Old Master Ye's confidant. As Bai Mao Zai jokingly put it, his faction was equivalent to the Crown Prince's faction.
The Northern front was in full swing. It was said that one of the Eight Great Kings of the Eternal Night Army from the last century had been dispatched by the enemy. However, Old Master Wang on this side also showed his face later, and both were famous powerhouses from the last century, so their appearance alone served as a deterrent.
Bai Mao Zai had been stirring up trouble these days. Over a dozen cities on the Northern border were almost plunged into mutiny by this master agitator, Bai Mao Zai, who set the rhythm. Now, all factions knew that the Church had a super weapon capable of dealing with the beast tide but refused to use it, intending to use everyone's lives to plug the gaps. Who could tolerate this? Now, all fingers were pointed at the Church.
Various forces united and formed something called the Zhenbei Alliance. One reason was to hinder the Eternal Night Army's beast tide and guard the Northern border, and the other was to force the Church to produce its super weapon. No one knew who shouted in the crowd for Bai Mao Zai to be the alliance leader, saying that Bai Mao Zai was the popular choice.
Then, many people truly wanted Bai Mao Zai to be the alliance leader.
Bai Mao Zai very humbly let an elderly person with a respectable reputation, whose backing force was mid-to-high tier, become the alliance leader, while he himself became the vice-alliance leader and continued to stir up trouble.
From the looks of it, the Church was about to buckle. Once the super weapon was brought out, the war in the North would only need one last push to decide the victor.
Fang Xin was in the rear.
Every day, he either went out to lead people to complete missions, or in his free time, he focused on cultivation, occasionally playing chess with Sikong Zhao.
In a blink of an eye, it was the weekend.
Fang Xin had informed Sui Yan, and unexpectedly, Sui Yan had arrived early.
However, when Fang Xin arrived at the location, he searched for a long time but couldn't find Sui Yan. After sending a message, he finally located Sui Yan. At this moment, Sui Yan, in who knows which past life, was still a man and still very handsome.
Fang Xin couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the Southern Liang's end was the Northern Dynasty.
The agreed-upon location with Tang Shuang was a grass-sliding field, a place with few people.
Fang Xin and Sui Yan nodded to each other upon meeting, then sat separately on two sides. But Fang Xin didn't sit in the pre-arranged spot, but rather quietly watched the agreed spot from another side.
About half an hour later.
Tang Shuang led a pair of handsome young men and women towards the agreed location.
Fang Xin stared at the pair. Under his keen perception, these two were emitting a strong aura of danger.
Sui Yan sent Fang Xin a message.
"They mean trouble."
"Watch for my signal. When I say 'act', you're responsible for the action, and I'm responsible for commanding."
"..."
Tang Shuang looked left and right, but didn't see Fang Xin.
Da Er said to Tang Shuang, "Miss Tang, has that Zero Arbiter not arrived yet? Please call him and ask where he is."
Tang Shuang called Fang Xin. The phone rang once before Fang Xin hung up.
Da Er frowned, immediately becoming somewhat vigilant, "Why did he hang up? Is he not coming?"
Tang Shuang looked at her phone, her gaze shifting. Suddenly, she saw Fang Xin in the distance outside, revealing a smile, "He's here! Over there!"
As she spoke, she jogged towards Fang Xin's direction to greet him.
Da Er watched Fang Xin, who was approaching from a distance, with a smile on his face.
A barely suppressed smile was on his face.
"He's truly foolish, coming alone. He's too young after all!"
Tina, standing beside him, had a beautiful face that showed no extra emotion.
Da Er's eyes gleamed with a sinister light, "I've been thinking these past few days. I'll just kill him later and seize the Zero Arbiter's qualification!"
Tina frowned upon hearing this, "Didn't we agree that controlling him would be enough?"
Da Er's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he licked his lips, his gaze filled with an uncontrollable greed, "Controlling him is ultimately too troublesome. Only by having the Zero Arbiter's qualification in my own hands is the most secure way! If you can't bear to do it, then let me. Killing him is as easy as pie!"
