Monarch Night-Chapter 25 - 18 Is that it?

But how could Fang Che let her be exposed?

Even if she was truly exposed, he would see her safely through.

So, when Ye Meng felt at a loss, she heard Fang Che's impatient voice outside.

"Hurry up and come out to clean up the courtyard and study after you've finished washing. My mother and I are going to the clan; don't think about relying on others to help. Qiuxue and Dong Mei are out on errands, so move quickly!"

Fang Che snorted and then said from outside, "Mother, let's go."

Fang Qianyi's voice replied, "Alright... Che, Ye Meng's body has just started to recover, don't be too harsh..."

Their voices slowly faded away.

Ye Meng's heart immediately settled down.

They were all gone, a godsend opportunity, she had to make the breakthrough quickly!

She hurriedly took a Lian Xi Pill to slightly conceal the aura of her breakthrough, although the effect was limited, it was better than nothing.

Unexpectedly, even after she had completed her breakthrough, taken another bath, and cleaned the courtyard and study, night had fallen, and the Fang Family still had not returned.

It wasn't until candles were lit that Qiuxue and Dong Mei finally came back, driving the carriage and directing people to carry big boxes into the house.

Then Fang Che and Fang Qianyi came back looking exhausted, and afterwards, two tables full of food were brought over from the Fang Family.

It appeared that they had been busy all afternoon and hadn't had the time for dinner.

...

The deployment of the Fang Family's clan goals was completed. After obtaining part of the power range and commercial territories originally belonging to the Su Family, the clan's development now had a strong foundation.

Fang Zhenghang convened a meeting with all members to arrange and deploy the next plan for the clan.

"Firstly, we must enhance our martial force! Currently, the highest cultivation within the clan is only at the Grandmaster Level; this is not enough. With our current strength, there is no hope of advancing to the eighth level. We even risk demotion within the Ninth level Family."

"After all, aside from protecting the people, taking care of their livelihoods, and facilitating society, the most important duty of a Shi Family is to complete the Guardian Hall's tasks, present contribution fitting for a Ninth level Family, get the Contribution Points, and ensure it is adequate. That is most crucial."

"After all, with various levels of government and merchants all over the world, as long as goods circulate, the livelihoods of the people can be ensured, and the existence of Shi Families is not consequential."

"And the Contribution Points that Shi Families need to present are, firstly, the capture of all kinds of fugitives, as well as those who endanger the public and society. Secondly, presenting Demon Beast Crystal Cores, to remove threats in the wilderness; and thirdly, rooting out the demon race and Evil sects."

"These three are the only means to obtain Contribution Points."

"And each of these three requires formidable martial power. Therefore, martial prowess is of utmost importance."

The clan's higher-ups all wore somber expressions.

Everyone felt a heavy burden in their heart.

Last year, a Ninth level Family needed two hundred Contribution Points, and the clan barely retained its rank with two hundred fifteen points.

Half of this year has already passed, and they had only secured ninety-eight points.

The completion of the annual task seemed far out of reach.

"Now, we have two Martial Arts Grandmasters..." Fang Zhenghang sighed.

At that moment, Fang Qianyi hesitantly raised her hand.

"I..."

"What about you?"

"I think I can break through to Innate Grandmaster this month," Fang Qianyi said.

She didn't know how it happened, but ever since she had a meal with her son half a month ago, her cultivation soared terrifyingly.

Her aptitude had also grown much stronger.

The speed at which she absorbed Spiritual Energy was several times faster than before.

Although she vaguely guessed it might be because of the fruit her son gave her, Fang Qianyi didn't say anything.

Nor did she ask.

These matters were too sensitive.

Once exposed, just the greed and longing from within her own family would be unmanageable because such things could never be plentiful.

"You are about to break through?"

Fang Zhenghang was overjoyed, and the others in the room were also energized, showing expressions of ecstasy.

This was indeed fantastic news.

An additional Grandmaster meant that the task of the Guardian Hall would be more achievable.

"Yes, I don't think it will even take until next month; I have already started to feel it these past few days," Fang Qianyi replied with a smile.

"That's great, just great!"

Fang Zhenghang was ecstatic.

Fang Che, sitting behind his mother, spoke indifferently: "As for the Demon Beast Crystal Cores, I still have some. They are part of the assets left by Brother Su Yue's family, with a few hundred cores; although their quality varies, all can be used for the task. The Family can use them as long as they give me the money in return. However, I hope to put the task quota under my mother's name."

"That's even better! Putting it under your mother's name is no problem at all; after all, we're aiming to complete the tasks with our clan's name."

Fang Zhenghang was even more delighted.

The Guardian Hall would buy every Crystal Core for Contribution Points at 70% of the market price after tallying.

It was profitable.

The Fang Family would take care of the tasks and Contribution Points; Fang Che would receive the money and put it into the 'Su Family assets.' It was a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Especially since the Su Family no longer needed to carry out such tasks.

"With two or three hundred cores, we would have nearly forty Contribution Points. That way, our annual task would suddenly become much lighter."

Everyone was smiling and joyful.

"We still must not relax; the more Contribution Points, the better!"

Fang Zhenghang warned sternly.

Everyone agreed wholeheartedly, but each face revealed a sense of relief.

After all, there is a different feeling, and a different risk, between completing tasks ahead of schedule and completing them on the deadline. If they were unable to complete it by the last month, everyone in the whole clan would need to fight desperately, and casualties would be inevitable.

The meeting went on for a long time.
