What catch? Catch what!

Glancing appreciatively at the Yin Shen Palace, it was no wonder the Sect Leader of this subordinate sect refused to expose it, as there was such a significant hidden truth.

This is great news indeed.

But now the problem is Fang Che's stain left by using cunning and plundering methods to gain resources in his weaker years for Yixin Sect.

This stain is not significant at all.

Yet, it has become the greatest obstacle on his path to advancement.

Within the Guardian Camp, such a stain associated with Demon Sect elements directly results in distrust. Moreover, if this stain is reported to Dongfang Sansan by someone below, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"What are the chances of Dongfang Sansan receiving such a report?"

Yan Nan frowned in thought.

The chances are very small.

It's basically like a county-level leader reporting a minor local matter to the top chief. But it cannot be ignored!

"The start was a bit rough."

Yan Nan frowned as he pondered; this stain must be erased.

The Yin Shen Palace stood trembling, bowing.

He wondered if part of his narrative earlier carried an element of defense, though in reality, he was not defending but describing the actual situation at that time. Would the Vice Sect Master think he was being evasive?

This impression is very important. If Vice Sect Master Yan believed he was afraid to take responsibility and eager to deny association, then it would be bad.

Yan Nan murmured softly, "Making merit for the Guardian Hall?"

The Yin Shen Palace smiled bitterly, "That method has been used, but Yemo's current cultivation is too low, making significant contributions unreasonable. Besides, on my side... there aren't any major achievements to arrange. Only minor merits are accumulated slowly."

Yan Nan angrily said, "You know this, yet you forced him to kill ten trusted members of the Guardian Hall. Utterly foolish!"

The Yin Shen Palace was filled with regret, "The thing I regret most now is this, as it led to severe consequences... If I'd known earlier, I wouldn't have done it regardless... But the pledge..."

"With Five Spirits Gu, why still a pledge?"

Yan Nan looked at the Yin Shen Palace and secretly formed an opinion: This person is narrow-minded, usable but not for heavy responsibilities.

"Though Yemo has successfully infiltrated, his current position is too low, still not usable for heavy responsibilities. Continue nurturing."

Yan Nan said in a low voice, "Even if exposed now, it would have no significant impact and wouldn't threaten Dongfang Sansan, not even be a nuisance. Too low, too weak."

"In the future, focus on nurturing Yemo's position in the Guardian Hall, find opportunities to eliminate those who know about Yemo's past, and then arrange a flawless résumé. Prepare for a future rise."

"We have time, we can afford to wait."

Yan Nan slightly frowned, having listened to the various tests on Yemo conducted by the Yin Shen Palace, he was almost certain of Yemo's reliability.

But ultimately, he should see for himself.

However, with Yemo's current weak strength, he had no qualifications to even be glanced at by Vice Sect Master Yan.

In the future, what if Dongfang Sansan discovers that the rising star he values is actually from the Wei Wo Zheng Sect... How would he feel?

As Yan Nan thought, his tightly knit brows relaxed, turning into a faint smile.

He looked forward to it.

"On this side, improvement is also needed. This can be reported to me separately in the future. However, don't report minor issues recklessly."

"Yes, I understand."

The Yin Shen Palace was immensely delighted!

I... have truly reached the pinnacle of my life.

I've unexpectedly acquired the privilege to report directly to Vice Sect Master Yan.

Then, he increasingly felt that nurturing Yemo was indeed a masterstroke.

Who would have thought that by a fortunate coincidence, such a dramatic result could arise?

With a pilgrim's heart, he added the Vice Sect Master's contact.

Yan Nan frowned, asking, "That Sun Yuan... is it Sun Yuan?"

"Yes."

"How did he die?"

"It was... the family at headquarters, supposedly the Li family and the Wang family did it," the Yin Shen Palace cautiously said.

"Which Li family and Wang family?"

"Supposedly..."

The Yin Shen Palace explained everything he knew.

"Has Yemo already killed the assailants?"

"Yes."

"It would be best to dispel this grievance," Yan Nan pondered.

"Reporting to Vice Sect Master, Yemo swore to the Celestial Worm God over this matter, vowing that in the future, he will leave no living thing in the two families, even splitting the earthworm in Wang and Li families' soil lengthwise."

The Yin Shen Palace was drenched in sweat, trembling.

"..."

Even Yan Nan was speechless: "Such a venomous vow... quite unique. Splitting an earthworm lengthwise..."

Yan Nan hadn't felt amused in a long time; at this moment, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Since this is the case... then let's see how things unfold."

Yan Nan sighed.

Swaring such a venomous oath to the Celestial Worm God is irretrievable.

Seeing the topic had closed, the Yin Shen Palace heaved a sigh of relief and cautiously sought permission, "There is a matter I haven't decided on yet. It's about Yemo's family."

Yan Nan mused slightly, saying, "If Yemo only develops within the sect, his family becomes a weakness. But if he spans both sides, family becomes an advantage for the Guardians."

"Moreover, when Guardians are assessed periodically, that aspect will be necessary. And that point is a shortcoming we cannot replace. So, retaining that small family is more beneficial than removing it."
