Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 117: Guarded against Crouching Dragon but not Phoenix Chick

"My cousin said that the Second Prince provided him with manpower. Could it be that the Second Prince was the one who wanted to trick Brother Feibai and Fan Xian?"

Fan Sizhe's thoughts died down, and he quickly refused, "Cousin, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's mainly because I'm running this bookstore right now, and I really don't have any free time."

"cousin!"

Li Chengping smiled foolishly and said, "Don't refuse. I'll tell you the truth. When I opened Baoyue Tower, I was afraid that my father and the others would find out, so I gave you the position of the headmaster. So don't refuse!"

After saying that, Li Chengping put down the contract and ran out.

"Cousin, cousin!"

Fan Sizhe was stunned when he saw Li Chengping running away.

The next moment, a heart-wrenching sound immediately resounded throughout the Fan Mansion.

"It's a disaster, Dad, Mom, Sister!"

When Fan Jian heard what Fan Sizhe said, he couldn't help but cover his face.

"So Dad, this really isn't my fault."

Fan Sizhe said aggrievedly, "Who knew my cousin could trick me like this!"

After hearing this, Liu Ruyu also became angry and went straight to the palace to find her good sister to complain.

"Stop first!"

Fan Jian stopped Liu Ruyu and said, "Don't make a big deal out of this for now. Sizhe, the Baoyue Tower hasn't opened yet, right?"

"no!"

Fan Sizhe quickly shook his head and said, "My cousin said that the shop will open in a few days. So..."

"You wait at home, leave this matter to me!"

Fan Jianqi picked up the contract on the table, put it in his sleeve and said, "You keep it in the mansion. I will find a way to solve it."

A quarter of an hour later, in the Inspection Institute, Fei Jie came angrily to Chen Pingping who was watering the flowers. Chen Pingping turned to look at Fei Jie, and saw that Fei Jie was holding the information that he had just given to Yingzi.

"Is Shadow okay?"

Chen Pingping looked at Fei Jie and said with a smile, "You saw his face, don't tell anyone."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Fei Jie practically gritted his teeth and said, "Why did you withdraw the Black Cavalry? Did you know that Fan Xian encountered Haitang Duoduo and Shangshan Hu at the border? He almost got into trouble!"

"With Leng Feibai here, it won't be difficult for all the nine rank masters in the world to come together!"

Chen Pingping said playfully, "You're not the only one looking for me, are you? Come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Jian walked out with a gloomy face, but didn't wait for him to speak.

A bird flew in from the window and turned into Leng Feibai's original appearance.

Leng Feibai's sudden appearance surprised the three of them.

Fan Jian said in surprise, "Fei Bai, when did you come back, Fan..."

"Father!"

Leng Feibai interrupted Fan Jian and said, "What you saw was just an incarnation created by me using my true energy. My real body is still in Northern Qi."

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "I never thought such a method existed in the world. Now I understand why the Inspection Bureau, despite its full efforts, couldn't find the specific route you took to enter Kyoto."

"If I really don't want to be exposed, even if the four great masters take action, they won't be able to find me! But if you tell His Majesty about this method, I don't think His Majesty will tolerate me."

Leng Feibai's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

After hearing this, Chen Pingping, Fei Jie and Fan Jian all said that they would keep the matter to themselves and not tell anyone.

"Fei Bai, is something wrong with Fan Xian?"

Looking at Fan Jian's expression, Leng Feibai soothed him, "Don't worry, foster father. Fan Xian has safely entered Shangjing City. He is currently with Sean and my real body. Sean is already dying and poses no threat to him."

After hearing the news brought by Leng Feibai, Fei Jie and Fan Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dean Chen!" Leng Feibai said calmly, "Let's set the date for tomorrow night as we agreed. Is that okay?"

Chen Pingping looked at him, "Did Sean tell the secret?"

Leng Feibai looked at Chen Pingping coldly and said, "He is talking about it, but telling His Majesty now will not be a good thing for me..."

"It won't take long!"

Chen Pingping continued, "Tonight at 12:30 pm, I'll be waiting for you in the dense forest south of the city."

Seeing the two of them singing the same tune, Fan Jian couldn't help but say, "Feibai, what are you two talking about? Oh, right, Sizhe!"

"I know it all!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "I've taken every precaution to protect against Crouching Dragon, but not Phoenix Chick. I'll handle the Baoyue Tower matter. Foster father, you still have to go to His Majesty to file a complaint tonight!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai took out a stack of evidence and said, "This is evidence that Baoyue Tower forced women of good character into prostitution. It can prove that Baoyue Tower did indeed force women of good character into prostitution. Let Fan Sizhe go to Baoyue Tower and stay there for a while..."

After explaining how to use the evidence, Leng Feibai handed it to Fan Jiandao, "I'm going to rescue those girls tonight. If our emperor knew about this, I'm afraid he'd set fire to Baoyue Tower and kill everyone in it!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai turned into a beam of light and disappeared.

Looking at Leng Feibai's actions, Fei Jie couldn't help but say, "No, what are you talking about? A brothel forcing women into prostitution has nothing to do with Your Majesty."

"Don't worry about this matter!"

Chen Pingping said calmly, "Fei Jie, you stay at the Inspection Institute. Fan Jian, come with me. Someone wants to see you."

Fan Jian knew who Chen Pingping was talking about, and stepped forward to help Chen Pingping push the wheelchair.

Seeing this, Fei Jie couldn't help but say, "So what if I know?"

After hearing this, Fan Jian turned around and said, "I know you're not afraid of death, but if you're alive, you can help the children. Don't worry, if anything happens to them, I'll accompany you to cause trouble in Kyoto."

In Shangjing City, Fan Xian stumbled along the street.

Leng Feibai, who was staying in the dark, looked at him, sighed, and slowly followed him.

"Bad mood!"

Hearing Leng Feibai's voice, Fan Xian, who had just returned from Guo Baokun, felt like he had been given a shot of adrenaline. He turned around and threw himself into Leng Feibai's arms.

"Brother, I suddenly feel so tired. I feel like everything that has happened since I entered Kyoto is no different from a joke."

Seeing Fan Xian's aggrieved expression, Leng Feibai chuckled and said, "You only see it now?"

As soon as these words fell, Fan Xian said in surprise, "Brother, you wouldn't have seen it a long time ago, right?"

"Ok!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "My adoptive father said he had wanted you to come to Kyoto for a long time, but when Chen Pingping and Fei Jie tried to stop him, I guessed Chen Pingping was planning something. But I was waiting for you to figure it out, and you only figured it out now."

After hearing this, Fan Xian looked aggrieved, but he didn't know what to say.

"And one more thing!"

Fan Xian looked at Leng Feibai's calm face and said stutteringly, "Brother, I might, I might..."

Leng Feibai looked at Fan Xian and pulled him into an empty alley.

"You are indeed not your adoptive father's son!"

As soon as Leng Feibai finished speaking, Fan Xian was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Brother, do you know something?"

Leng Feibai sighed after hearing this and said, "Orphan of the Zhao family, you are the one who was replaced!"

Although this sentence was short, it struck Fan Xian like a thunderclap.

Fan Xian suddenly fell to the ground, holding his head and said, "Brother, what did you say? What about the Orphan of Zhao?"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "It's very simple. Ruoruo originally had a brother who was a year older than her. But not long after Uncle Wuzhu sent you to Danzhou, I went to pay my respects to Grandma one night. And outside the door, I heard Grandma say, 'My poor grandson, don't blame your parents. They had no choice!' And not long after that, I heard from the servants that my adoptive father's eldest son had passed away."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Xian covered his face with his hands, squatted on the ground, and said, "In other words, I was supposed to die with my mother, but it was my father who sacrificed his own son's life to save me!"
