Chapter Sixty-Two: The Last Supper and a Kiss

Inside the cafeteria, a massive dining table sat right in the center.

Normally, this was where all the disciples ate. To foster camaraderie among martial siblings, everyone sat together at this exceptionally long table.

Fang Can was seated dead center at the table, with Ye Qingshi by his side. Close to him were Ye Yonglie and the other martial arts hall masters.

The rest of the Blazing Sun Martial Arts Hall disciples stood at the very outer perimeter, listening attentively to his words.

The entire dining hall was dead silent as everyone waited for Fang Can to speak. Before long, he calmly began:

"Among my disciples, there is a traitor who leaked my whereabouts."

"Clamor!"

Following Fang Can's words, the previously tranquil crowd erupted into a commotion, discussing in shock and anger over who could have possibly betrayed him.

Among them, Yuan Dang mingled within his martial brothers, putting on a look of utter astonishment as he joined the discussion, yet his body instinctively leaned backward, distancing himself from Fang Can.

*Impossible. I snuck out in the middle of the night; absolutely no one could have discovered me. Fang Can cannot possibly know that I betrayed him. He must be suspecting us right now, but he doesn't necessarily know it's me.*

Amidst the buzzing discussions, Ye Yonglie let out a cold snuff that suppressed the voices of everyone present. He then said respectfully, "Master, which disciple has dared to betray you?"

"I do not know." Fang Can shook his head gently. The moment he said this, Yuan Dang let out a massive sigh of relief.

"However... the culprit will step forward on their own."

Fang Can said calmly, causing Yuan Dang's breath to hitch once more.

Fang Can held a coin pouch in his hand and slowly tipped it over the dining table. With a rattling sound, dozens of copper coins slid out from the bag.

"Each of you, take one of these copper coins and toss it toward the sky. The traitor's coin will land facing a different direction from everyone else's." Fang Can raised both hands toward all the disciples and spoke calmly.

Looking at the pile of copper coins, even Ye Yonglie reached out with half-doubt and picked one up, tossing it gently into the air.

Tracing an arc, the coin tumbled over and landed with the four characters "Dayan Currency" facing upward, leaving the patterned side down.

Following Ye Yonglie's lead, the various hall masters each picked up a coin and hurled it upward sharply.

As the second and third coins were tossed, everyone watched in astonishment as all the subsequently revealed upward faces displayed the "Dayan Currency" inscription.

By the time the seventh and eighth disciples threw their coins and they all landed showing "Dayan Currency," a profound sense of awe rose from the bottom of everyone's hearts.

This was practically a miracle! The coins were chosen by themselves and tossed by themselves; how could everyone possibly throw the exact same result? Unless a martial artist at the Realm of Ascending the Heavenly Road was secretly meddling, this was nothing short of a miracle.

A shared realization dawned upon everyone's minds: the Master had said the traitor's result would differ from everyone else's, which meant the person who threw the opposite side was the traitor!

Amidst the orderly sound of coins dropping onto the tabletop, Yuan Dang suppressed his unease, picked out one of the copper coins, and felt it—it was completely indistinguishable from any copper coin he had touched in the past.

*How could it be so mysterious? Besides, with my control from my past life at the Ascending the Heavenly Road realm, tossing heads is a piece of cake. As long as I throw heads, I should be able to bluff my way through, right?*

Plagued by a trace of anxiety, Yuan Dang pinched the coin and tossed it with controlled force.

As the coin traced an arc and slammed onto the table, right under everyone's watchful eyes, it landed with the four characters "Dayan Currency" facing up.

*I've cleared it.* Yuan Dang let out a long breath in his heart, his back drenched in cold sweat from the tension.

"My turn, my turn!" Suddenly, a pleasant voice rang out in everyone's ears. Ye Qingshi picked up a copper coin and tossed it directly.

Seeing so many people landing on heads, driven by curiosity, she decided to throw one as well.

By sheer coincidence, the young woman's tossed coin smashed directly onto Yuan Dang's coin.

With a crisp "clank," Ye Qingshi's coin landed on top, showing "Dayan Currency," while Yuan Dang watched in sheer terror as his own coin was knocked airborne, spinning and coming to a complete halt standing upright in mid-air.

Silence—

At that moment, Yuan Dang gazed in horror as the surrounding martial brothers began looking at him with bizarre, eerie expressions.

Before anyone else could speak, Yuan Dang jumped out to defend himself. "N-No, it wasn't me! I clearly threw heads just now, all of you saw it!"

"Hmph, the traitor has already stepped forward on his own. Yuan Dang is one, and I never expected Ye Qingshi to be another!" Ye Yonglie sneered coldly.

"Dad!" Ye Qingshi turned her head in shock.

If the man in front of her weren't her own father, she might have already started questioning his sanity.

"Yes, yes, yes! My coin was flipped over by Senior Sister Ye! The traitor is definitely Senior Sister Ye, I am innocent!"

At this moment, Yuan Dang could no longer care about his goddess; surviving came first.

Faced with Yuan Dang's counter-accusation, Ye Qingshi's palms broke out in a cold sweat. She grabbed Fang Can beside her, so anxious she was on the verge of tears.

"The clown is finished." Fang Can looked at Yuan Dang and evaluated, "In that case, let's continue the coin toss. Whoever throws the opposite side this time will prove they are the traitor."

"Master, what about my daughter?" Ye Yonglie asked.

"She has been with me these past few days. Are you implying that I betrayed myself?" Fang Can's counter-question left Ye Yonglie completely speechless.

There was no suspense left. The remaining disciples all tossed the opposite side, proving beyond a doubt that Yuan Dang was the traitor. Throughout the entire process, Fang Can never touched a single copper coin from start to finish.

As the final coin was tossed and clattered to the ground, a disciple attempted to apprehend Yuan Dang, only for the latter to violently break free.

"Boom!"

Almost instantly, the surrounding disciples tried to subdue him, but Yuan Dang violently shook them off in the next split second.

"Anyone who blocks me dies!"

Yuan Dang roared, but in the very next instant, a hall master beside him slammed him down onto the floor, pinning him so hard he couldn't even stand up.

After all, he had only been reborn a few days ago, and unlike Fang Can who had cheats enabled, one needed actual strength to pull off a counter-kill.

"Master, how should we deal with the traitor Yuan Dang?" Ye Yonglie asked after shattering Yuan Dang's limbs.

"How to deal with him? Lock him up for now. I'll interrogate him thoroughly later."

With that, Fang Can wrapped an arm around Ye Qingshi's trembling, leaning frame, fixing his gaze on Yuan Dang with curiosity.

He had been curious about this guy for a while now; he felt like the fellow was hiding secrets, and moreover, why on earth was he so hostile toward him?

Noticing the moved look in Ye Qingshi's eyes, Fang Can thought playfully to himself: *It couldn't possibly be over a woman, right? After all, that guy doesn't even have any use.*

Yet, as Fang Can shifted his gaze sideways and felt Yuan Dang's murderous intent toward this place multiply severalfold, he involuntarily froze in a daze.

*No way... could it really be like that?*

Recalling everything that had just transpired, Ye Qingshi gazed at the young man before her and instinctively lowered her head. "Th-Thank you..."

The next moment, before she could finish, Ye Qingshi felt a finger gently lift her chin.

Then, Fang Can's face magnified before her eyes bit by bit.

"Mmh—" The next instant, the young woman's eyes widened sharply as she felt the warm and soft sensation pressed against her lips.

He actually NTR'd him right to his face?!
