Once, I wanted to be a good person

Although Fang Ze never felt himself to possess a kingly aura that could make a Yang Transformation stage expert bow in submission, he had never imagined that those who swore allegiance to him would be cursed.

Especially when he saw Xin Yi, wrapped in bandages, silent and seemingly reliable, combined with the thoughts and ideas in Xin Yi's heart, Fang Ze found himself somewhat speechless for a moment.

To accept or not to accept? That was the question.

While Fang Ze hesitated, Xin Yi, who had been kneeling all this time without a response from Fang Ze, also looked up at him through the gap in her bandages with her left eye, then asked in a hoarse voice, "Sir, it seems like you're having second thoughts?"

Hearing Xin Yi's words, Fang Ze came back to his senses. He looked at Xin Yi, his mind racing as he thought about how to resolve this awkward situation.

After a moment, he had an idea. He cleared his throat and said, "How could that be? I sincerely invite you to join our Devil Sect."

"But..."

Having said that, Fang Ze changed his tone and asked, "Xin Yi, have you ever considered being an undercover agent?"

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Bandage Woman's head slowly showed a question mark: ?

Fang Ze, with hands behind his back, said, "You see, the Rejuvenation Society has acted against our organization, which has greatly angered the Devil Sect leaders, so they want to eliminate both the Rejuvenation Society and its backing Demigod: Dahei Jialuo."

"Therefore, when you were willing to join our organization, I was thinking about how to arrange your role."

"After much consideration, I thought that if you could return to the Rejuvenation Society as an undercover agent and help me and the sect leaders find the exact whereabouts of the President of the Rejuvenation Society and Dahei Jialuo, it could be highly effective!"

"If you really manage to find them for me, I will definitely commend your great contribution!"

Startled for a moment by Fang Ze's words, Bandage Woman murmured in a hoarse voice, "Dahei Jialuo…" After a short pause, she asked, "Is that the name of the Demigod behind the Rejuvenation Society?"

Fang Ze nodded.

Upon seeing this, Bandage Woman slowly said, "I have long suspected that the Rejuvenation Society wasn't so straightforward."

"Although the president always said that the goal of the Rejuvenation Society never changed and everything was for finding the truth behind the catastrophe fifty years ago, the actions of the society in recent years obviously had little to do with that quest for truth."

"I suspected then that the organization had either degenerated or had been manipulated by some people."

"Turns out, it was a Demigod behind it all."

With that, Bandage Woman said in her hoarse voice, "I am willing to return to the Rejuvenation Society as an undercover agent, to lend my strength to you and the sect leader, and to eradicate the Rejuvenation Society."

Meanwhile, Fang Ze also heard Xin Yi's inner voice, "Undercover? That sounds interesting!"

"Having a dual identity and navigating between two forces sounds both thrilling and dangerous!"

"The Devil Sect is indeed much more interesting than the Rejuvenation Society!"

Fang Ze: …

It must be said, the contrast between Bandage Woman's composed appearance and her carefree inner thoughts was too great. Fang Ze could never reconcile the two.

However, no matter what, having successfully repurposed Xin Yi's "worthless" presence, Fang Ze felt relieved.

To be honest, if it were his previous life, upon encountering a "God of Decline" like Xin Yi, Fang Ze would most likely have dismissed it as superstition: what celestial cursed stars? All nonsense!

But in this extraordinary world… there were too many strange and mysterious things: like his unreasonable "King" talent, like Bai Ling's peculiar ability of "preventing people from repaying debts," who knows if there really was something like a "curse to doom one's organization"?

So, he had to be cautious.

Moreover, Fang Ze didn't arrange Xin Yi's role carelessly. Sending Xin Yi back to the Rejuvenation Society as an undercover agent fit perfectly with his next plan.

After tonight's events, both Fang Ze and the Si Family had secured their standing in the Provincial Government, so personally and officially, it was time to deal with Dahei Jialuo.

Officially, Dahei Jialuo was Fang Ze's first case after taking over the Judicial Department, and it was critical to make a good start.

Personally, Dahei Jialuo attacked the Devil Sect and had brutally killed Miaomiao's family and Bai Zhi's mother and brother more than a decade ago.

So no matter what, Fang Ze had to bring Dahei Jialuo to justice.

Moreover, with Dahei Jialuo's power weakened by several major blows and the number of experts decreased, placing Bandage Woman back into the Rejuvenation Society might yield unexpected results.

With these thoughts, Fang Ze helped Xin Yi up enthusiastically, while painting her a few grand pictures.

Although Xin Yi wasn't really tempted by those grand promises, at least she kept expressing her gratitude and loyalty verbally.

Thus, Fang Ze seized the moment to inquire about the situation within the Rejuvenation Society.

Perhaps because Xin Yi had doomed many organizations and didn't have much sense of belonging to the Rejuvenation Society, she didn't hesitate at all to betray them.

The Rejuvenation Society had one president and thirteen Saints, all of them at the Yang Transformation stage. Among them, the president, an Awakener at the peak of the Mortality-Shedding stage, was the most powerful.

For years, the president of the Rejuvenation Society had been seeking to break through to the Mortality-Shedding stage, but due to the strict federal control over the Mortality-Shedding Fruit, the society had gone to great lengths and costs to acquire one without success.

Moreover, since any new Mortality-Shedding stage would naturally result in extraordinary phenomena attracting federal attention, the president had been trapped at the peak of the Yang Transformation stage.
