Pan Lao instantly felt numb all over.

Compared to them, ordinary white robes, Fang Yue's way of spending money was simply too extravagant.

Usually, everyone only spent a little merit, and a few pills were considered a small celebration.

But with Fang Yue, he bought a dozen bottles of pills at a time, and bought several kinds together.

Martial arts were the same. He bought Xiantian realm martial arts like they were cabbage, bought four books directly, and learned them all in one go.

Sour. In short, Pan Lao, the gatekeeper, was so sour that he had to wear a mask of pain.

It's really infuriating to compare people to each other. When will I be able to squander more than 10,000 merits at will? Then I will definitely... definitely...

Pan Lao wilted.

He had to admit that he was used to being petty. If he really had more than 10,000 merits at once, he would definitely be reluctant to spend them so lavishly.

Instead, he would treat them like family heirlooms, just like the merits he had saved for a lifetime, and leave them to his grandson.

"It's a pity that a Ye white robe came out of nowhere, otherwise my grandson would definitely be able to get along with You Qingyi and become the third Qingyi adult!"

Pan Lao thought to himself, while already taking out the key to open the Azure Department Treasury again, bringing out all the pills that Fang Yue wanted.

A basket full of bottles and jars, all of which Fang Yue took into his possession.

Feeling the empty white robe token and the full things on his body, Fang Yue was very satisfied.

Waving his hand, he bid farewell to Pan Lao.

Pan Lao was depressed, but he couldn't say anything. He couldn't ask others where they got so many merit points, right? This thing must have been confirmed by the superior Azure Department before it was issued. Fang Yue must have received recognition for some great achievement, otherwise it would be impossible to pass the review.

"If my grandson had half his promise..."

Other people's children always make one's blood pressure rise.

...

On the other side, after leaving the Merit Hall, Fang Yue was eager to go back to cultivate.

After all, he had suddenly obtained four Xiantian martial arts books, so he had to practice them well.

However, he had promised You Sisi before to support her, so he couldn't ditch her.

He went there with Yu white robe, and from a distance, he saw You Sisi there, repeating the matter of asking everyone to evacuate like a heartless robot reading a manuscript.

And below her, the crowd had already gathered together, chattering like they were discussing vegetable prices in a vegetable market, making so much noise that no one was really listening to what You Sisi was saying.

"Ye white robe is here!"

"It's Ye white robe!"

"Lord Ye white robe, is the situation in the underground stronghold really serious? Do we really have to leave home to evacuate?"

Someone shouted, and everyone's attention turned to Fang Yue.

You Sisi's eyes lit up, and she waved to Fang Yue, signaling him to come over quickly.

When Fang Yue stepped onto the stage, the people below immediately quieted down.

Obviously, they wanted to know Fang Yue's opinion.

You Sisi quickly lowered her voice and said, "Say something quickly."

"Um..." Fang Yue looked at the vast crowd below.

In fact, Fang Yue didn't show his face outside very much.

But the problem was that this matter was too serious, and everyone was talking about it.

And in the spread of the news, Fang Yue's tall image of going deep into the underground stronghold, destroying the Phoenix organization, and fighting the strange army in a life-and-death struggle, spread through word of mouth.

So now when people saw Fang Yue, they were treating him like a hero, waiting for Fang Yue to point out a clear path for them.

Obviously, they didn't want to make such a big deal out of something that they couldn't even see the shadow of yet.

But what could Fang Yue say? This wasn't his forte.

Looking at those expectant eyes, Fang Yue cleared his throat and said, "Every word You Sisi, You Qingyi said represents my meaning. The underground army of weirdness is approaching Qingsi County. For everyone's safety, please follow You Qingyi's arrangements."

As soon as he finished speaking, You Sisi, who was originally standing beside him with her arms crossed and looking a little unhappy, suddenly glanced at Fang Yue, and her emotions seemed to calm down a lot.

But the crowd below exploded.

"It's really true!"

"Oh my god! Aren't the Azure Guards sealing the underground entrance and reinforcing the formation? Is it possible that even this can't stop the army of weirdness?"

"I just pulled out so much stock to sell, how much money will I lose if I evacuate now!"

Obviously, Fang Yue's words had limited effect. Everyone just wanted to get real information from Fang Yue.

You Sisi became irritable again, loudly scolding whether life was more important or money was more important, and also proposed that the Azure Department would provide subsidies, which barely stabilized the situation.

Fang Yue didn't help much, just silently standing behind You Sisi, giving people a bodyguard-like feeling.

After directing and busy until night, most of the villagers in Qingsi County had been notified to evacuate, but only a small number had already gone. The rest had only been notified, but had not taken action.

Compared to a small village like Guyue Village, which had one voice.

The personnel structure of Qingsi County was more complex, and it was more difficult to command. Even the Azure Department's dominance was not so strong.

According to this progress, in three days... no, it should be said that in two days, it was still a question of whether the remaining villagers could be driven to evacuate.

"We have to use forceful measures!"

That's what You Sisi said. She was about to be blown away by this group of troublemakers.

It was obviously for their safety that they were asked to evacuate.

As a result, they all thought that the Azure Department was going to harm them, desperately guarding their little family property and small interests, just unwilling to move, simply valuing money over life.

If Fang Yue hadn't been there, she wouldn't want to show too much of a temper, otherwise she would have started roaring like a shrew long ago.

"We can't blame them entirely. To us, that's just a small amount of money, and life is definitely more important than money. But to these small people, this wealth is everything to them. Losing it is like starting all over again, which is no different from dying. There's a saying that goes, cutting off someone's wealth is like killing their parents..."

Fang Yue was talking when You Sisi glared over.

"Which side are you on?"

"Um... my mistake, I shouldn't be saying sarcastic remarks... I'll go ask the members of Guyue Village to come and help too. More people, more efficiency?"

"Call them, call them all to help."

You Sisi rubbed her brow in pain. She hadn't rested much because of this matter.

After hesitating, Fang Yue handed out a *Qingxin Dan* (Clarity Pill).

"What are you doing?" You Sisi was stunned.

"For you to eat, to restore your spirit. I exchanged a bunch of pills with merit points, this is just a small thing."

"...Oh, okay."

You Sisi took the pill, but didn't eat it on the spot. Instead, she urged Fang Yue to quickly go to the inn to call people.

After Fang Yue walked far away and was out of sight, she carefully took out a small brocade box, put the higher-level *Xingxin Dan* (Awakening Pill) inside into her mouth.

Then, she replaced it with this lower-level *Qingxin Dan* (Clarity Pill), carefully stored it, closed the box, looked at the small box, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth. The bad mood of the day seemed to be swept away.
