In 1900, Xin Yu's request, the Daoist Kuanglei arrives
Return to the yard.
"How's it going? Xin Yu, have you been promoted?"
Liang Xue was curious.
Fang Ce just looked at it with a smile and didn't ask any questions.
At this moment, Xin Yu shook his head, looked at Fang Ce with a slight hesitation, then took out the letter and handed it over: "Fang Ce, this is what the Holy One asked me to forward to you."
"oh?"
Fang Ce was stunned and took the letter with some surprise. The letter was specially given to him by the Holy Emperor? What kind of fun is this?
Without any hesitation, he opened the envelope in front of the two women and read it.
As he read the contents, he couldn't help but look strange.
In the end, Fang Ce shook his head and smiled: "What a useless brother-in-law."
"What did the Holy One say?"
Liang Xue couldn't help but be curious and didn't bother to pay attention to Fang Ce's shamelessness.
"It's nothing. The general idea is that there is a wolf in front of the saint and a tiger in the back, and he wants me to help him block the way."
"This... there is a wolf in front and a tiger in the back? Could it be referring to the eldest princess and King Fu Zun..."
Liang Xue looked hesitant, vaguely guessing the general situation.
"Fang Ce, what do you mean? Can you believe what I said before? The Holy Emperor is really in a dilemma and can't help himself. It's not that he doesn't want to reuse you."
Xin Yu couldn't help but speak, showing a look of expectation.
"Ha, I have always believed in you, fairy. When did you stop believing in me?"
Fang Ce shook his head and smiled.
"Then...what do you mean now?"
"What else is there to say? Aren't you going to Northern Xinjiang?"
Fang Ce spread his hands.
"No, I mean, are you willing to help the saint now?"
Xin Yu's eyes showed anticipation.
"What to help? Help him secure his throne?"
"This...Fang Ce, what do you mean?"
Xin Yu was startled.
"This position does not belong to him in the first place, and it is not suitable for him. Why bother to be too persistent? Just take it as it comes."
Fang Ce shook his head.
"You still don't want to help...that's all, I can't force you."
Xin Yu sighed softly.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to help, it's just that I can't help too much, I can only help a little. After all, I'm my brother-in-law, so I still have this affection."
Fang Ce was helpless.
"Help a little bit? What do you mean by this? Are you worried that you won't be able to deal with those two forces?"
Xin Yu was surprised.
"Well... How should I put it? I can't guarantee whether I can handle it. After all, we are weak and the cards on both sides have not been revealed. But the more important thing is...
To me, these disputes about power and position are just trivial matters. As long as the world is peaceful, it doesn't matter who sits in that position.
I have more important things to deal with now, and I don’t want to get involved too deeply and be dragged here. Generally speaking, the situation here is quite complicated and troublesome."
Fang Ce shook his head. For him now, what he cares most about is the snake beauty. After all, no matter who becomes the emperor, he can be at ease. But if the snake beauty breaks the seal, the world will be in chaos. When he
Whether he can still be free or not is unknown.
"Well...well, since you have your own plans, I have nothing to say."
Xin Yu whispered.
At night, inside Xin Yu's room.
"Fairy, when you called me late at night, you didn't mean to use a honey trap on me and turn a deaf ear to me, right? If that's the case... I won't be able to control myself and compromise..."
Fang Ce looked at Xin Yu with a smile.
"You... don't act rude to me. I have something important to ask you."
Xin Yu's pretty face turned red and she was a little angry.
"Okay, okay, fairy, please tell me."
Fang Ce helplessly spread his hands.
"In a few days, you will be leaving for Northern Xinjiang. I have something to ask you..."
Xin Yu pursed her jade lips lightly.
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Fang Ce was surprised and already had some guesses in his mind. It was most likely because of the matter about Heavenly Master Wu Zun...
"When we arrive in Northern Xinjiang... I hope you can help me investigate a person when you are free."
Xin Yu whispered.
"who?"
"Heavenly Master Wu Zun."
"Heavenly Master Martial Lord?"
Fang Ce looked puzzled, as expected...
"Well, I hope you can help me check up on what happened to Heavenly Master Wu Zun in Northern Xinjiang back then. As long as it is relevant and there are no clues, you can help me write it down. Can you?"
There was a hint of pleading in Xin Yu's eyes.
This is a look she never showed even when she asked Fang Ce to help the Holy Emperor!
"Oh? Is it your father-in-law?"
Fang Ce asked hesitantly.
"you……"
Xin Yu was startled, and then her beautiful eyes widened.
"Haha, you're just kidding. Don't be angry, fairy. I'll just check it for you."
Fang Ce quickly waved his hand.
"Have you already asked Mr. Tianji to inquire about my information?"
Xin Yu frowned.
"Uh... I guess... It's more of my guess. I just inquired about Tianshi Wu Zun."
Fang Ce looked aside.
"What did he say?"
"He only knew one thing, and there was no conclusive information."
Fang Ce shrugged.
"Oh... Tianji Pavilion still hasn't made any progress... Yes, it's that kind of old matter. Whether it's checked or not, it probably doesn't mean anything to Tianji Pavilion."
Xin Yu sighed lightly.
"Okay, don't think too much, I'll just check it for you."
Fang Ce gently rubbed Xin Yu's head.
"What do you mean? I'm not a child."
Xin Yu pushed Fang Ce's hand away angrily.
"Ha, fairy, please tell me why you want to investigate what happened back then, so that I can have a direction."
Fang Ce is funny.
"I...I don't know how to put it...maybe it's just wishful thinking and resentment..."
Xin Yu couldn't help but reveal a trace of hesitation and discomfort.
"Oh? Wishful thinking?"
Fang Ce was surprised.
"Because I have never been able to believe that my adoptive father would betray my father and the others. Maybe it was just because I was too young at the time and didn't see many things clearly."
Xin Yu sighed lightly.
"Can you be more detailed? What was the specific situation back then? How was Heavenly Master Wu Zun betrayed?"
Fang Ce frowned.
"I don't know much about what happened back then. I only know that my father and my adoptive father had a very close relationship at that time. It can be said that they were brothers.
When my father and mother went to the Huns' stronghold for the last time, my adoptive father was still thinking about the war and the condition of his father and mother, and his expression did not seem fake at all.
And if my adoptive father really betrayed his father, there would be no need for him to keep acting in front of a kid like me.
After all, my father and mother have already gone off to war, so even if I discover something, I won’t have time to stop it..."
"No... Fairy, I just want to ask, how was the Heavenly Master Wu Zun defeated? This is the key."
Fang Ce was confused.
"How to defeat... I was still young at that time, and I was ignorant about those wars. To the effect, someone must have leaked the strategy set by the three fathers, which led to me being ambushed by the Huns army..."
Xin Yu frowned.
"Three people? Which three people? Heavenly Master Wu Zun, the former prince, and others?"
"Mother."
"Oh... Fairy, are you saying that only Heavenly Master Wu Zun and the prince back then... only these three knew about this strategy?"
Fang Ce was confused.
"Well, according to the clues I know now, that's it. So after my father came back from the Huns' hinterland, he..."
Xin Yu sighed softly, with a sad look on his face.
"I understand, that is to say, on the surface, the matter of that year has been concluded. It's just that you think there is something fishy, and you want to make sure..."
"Well... you can also say that, maybe, this way we can feel relieved..."
"If we want the truth about your so-called 'wishful thinking' to emerge, Fairy, I'm afraid it will only be possible if the fourth person appears."
Fang Ce frowned and pondered.
"The fourth person? The fourth person who knows the strategy set by father and others?"
Xin Yu was confused.
"Um."
Fang Ce nodded.
"The fourth person? I don't know if there is one... I just remember that when my father came back, he said that only the three of them knew this strategy..."
Xin Yu frowned.
"Is that so... Then I wonder where the Heavenly Master Wu Zun is now?"
Fang Ce asked hesitantly.
"Father... after being stopped by my great-grandfather, he took my mother's skull and disappeared without a trace... There is still no news... Maybe my investigation of what happened back then also has the subconscious influence of wanting to find traces of my father..."
Xin Yu sighed quietly.
"Does the fairy also know the whereabouts of the Heavenly Master Wu Zun... It is indeed difficult to handle, that's all. We can only start the investigation after arriving in Northern Xinjiang."
Fang Ce was helpless.
"Thank you, Fang Ce."
Xin Yu said softly: "I know it's a bit difficult for you to investigate such a basic and obvious matter. So it's not very demanding. You really can't figure it out. Just give me the relevant information collected.
That’s it.
If I hadn't been unable to go to Northern Xinjiang now and couldn't access the sealed information there, I wouldn't have made things difficult for you. Moreover, if we really wanted to investigate what happened back then, I'd probably have to negotiate with those Huns..."
"Ha, it's okay. In fact, I'm also curious about what happened to my father-in-law back then. After all, there are a lot of doubts."
Fang Ce shook his head and smiled.
"You...Fang Ce, do you also think that what happened back then was suspicious?"
Xin Yu was surprised.
"It's not me, it's because both Fairy you and Tianji Pavilion think that what happened back then is suspicious. This must be no coincidence, so I will naturally be curious."
Fang Ce smiled.
"Tianji Pavilion also thinks there is something suspicious, right..."
Xin Yu nodded, and saw a glimmer of hope rising in his eyes.
"Okay, fairy, it's getting late. Let's go to bed early."
Fang Ce smiled and spoke.
Xin Yu immediately stared at Fang Ce in silence.
"Haha, fairy, I'm going back to my room first. You should also go to bed early."
Fang Ce smiled awkwardly, stood up and left...
Two days later.
"Master Kuang Lei? Why did you find your old man?"
Xin Yu looked at the person outside the door in shock.
Fang Ce and Liang Xue were also puzzled. After all, they all knew that this guy was guarding Youcheng Town. Why was he transferred back so quickly?
"Oh, I heard that girls, you guys were in trouble in the capital, and I came here because I was worried."
Kuang Lei Taoist Master spoke calmly, glancing at Fang Ce from time to time.
"That's it. Thank you Dao Master Kuang Lei for your concern. Please come in and have a seat."
Xin Yu saluted respectfully.
"Um."
Kuanglei Taoist Master nodded, followed a few others into the courtyard and into the house.
"Master Kuang Lei, please have some tea."
Xin Yu poured a cup of tea.
"Um."
Master Kuang Lei picked up the tea cup, took a sip and put it down: "How are you doing now?"
"It's okay now, there's no big problem. Thank you Dao Master Kuang Lei for your concern."
Xin Yu responded.
"By the way, I heard that this little friend Fang Ce defeated the ten assassins of Netherworld Mountain and has now been granted the title of Heavenly Master. Is this possible?"
Kuang Lei Dao Master looked at Fang Ce.
Fang Ce couldn't help but move his brows slightly, feeling vaguely that this guy seemed to be coming towards him?
"Well...it is indeed true. What's wrong? Dao Master Kuang Lei?"
Xin Yu was confused.
"Hiss... It's true that a hero comes from a young age. I'm so disrespectful. I didn't expect my little brother to be hidden so deeply. I was really blind when I was in the city before, and I didn't even notice it at all."
Kuang Lei Dao Master saluted Fang Ce with clasped fists in his eyes.
"Uh... Senior is joking. Junior has only a small amount of ability. Everything is just a coincidence. I am lucky to have achieved this."
Fang Ce immediately responded with clasped fists. Is this old guy really coming for him? And why is his look so strange? It's as if he hasn't seen a woman in more than ten years...
"Hey, little brother, you are so humble. How could you achieve this by luck? If you don't have that kind of talent, no matter how lucky you are, it won't matter."
Kuang Lei Dao Master waved his hand.
Fang Ce nodded silently, what on earth is this old guy planning?
"I wonder who my little brother learned from? It is said that you have only practiced for a few years to achieve your current achievements?"
Kuang Lei Taoist Master was confused.
Fang Ce raised his eyebrows slightly. It seems that this old guy has figured out his identity as the destined master? After all, this old guy is not stupid.
And only this explanation can explain all his abnormal behavior now...
"Oh... I don't have any masters for this junior. The main thing is that the fairy taught me well, which benefited me a lot."
Fang Ce immediately responded with a smile.
"So it was the girl who taught me? The girl is also very capable."
Kuanglei Taoist nodded.
"No, it's because Fang Ce is extremely talented. With or without the guidance of the younger generation, the influence won't be big."
Xin Yu smiled and shook his head.
"By the way, senior. I wonder what's going on over there in Youcheng? What's going on over there in Kowloon City?"
Fang Ce asked with a smile again.
"Oh... there's nothing going on in the city tour. There's nothing happening over there in Kowloon City, otherwise I wouldn't be able to spare the time to come here to see you."
"Come over sometime?"
Fang Ce looked a little weird. Did this old guy not take city tours seriously at all?
"Well, I'm worried about your situation after all."
Kuang Lei Taoist nodded.
“I’m so grateful.”
Fang Ce smiled again and clasped his fists.
"You're welcome, for me, your safety is more important than anything else."
Kuanglei Taoist Master waved his hand calmly.
"Thank you Dao Master Kuang Lei for being so concerned. I am really flattered. However... the juniors have no problem here now. The safety of the people traveling in the city is still important. Dao Master Kuang Lei should not stay here for too long. If something goes wrong,
If it happens, it will be troublesome."
Xin Yu responded.
"Don't worry, I have my own discretion regarding matters over there."
Master Kuang Lei waved his hand and looked at Fang Ce again: "Little brother, I heard that you will go to northern Xinjiang to resist the Huns army soon?"
"Yes, senior."
Fang Ce smiled and nodded.
"Then little brother, you have to be more careful. Those Huns are extremely cruel and murderous, and they are generally not weak in strength. Don't take them lightly."
Kuang Lei Taoist Master had a solemn look on his face.
"Well, thank you senior for the heads up. I will pay more attention to this junior."
Fang Ce still smiled and nodded, feeling even more amused in his heart. What on earth does this old guy want to do? Is it close?
Afterwards, Taoist Master Kuang Lei exchanged greetings for a while before leaving.
"This Kuang Lei Dao Master is really kind to us, isn't he?"
Liang Xue couldn't help but look weird.
"His family may have figured out Fang Ce's identity and know that Fang Ce is the former Destiny Master..."
Xin Yu also looked at Fang Ce with a strange expression.
