Chapter 1321 Shu Zhiyu

Chengkong was concentrating on doing handicrafts on a table covered with scattered parts.

Seeing Lin Fan coming, he immediately dropped the work in his hands and enthusiastically showed her his latest research results.

Lin Fan suddenly saw a figure flash in front of Cheng Kong. He stabbed out with his sword in an instant and found that it was actually Du Xingyu's projection.

"Hahaha, is this the effect you said, the ability to have a face-to-face conversation?" Cheng Kong was very satisfied with the result he had personally facilitated. "Come on, come on, take a look, talk to Xingyu again, and tell me your ideas."

"Who is it?" Du Xingyu turned his head halfway towards Chengkong, seemingly oblivious to Lin Fan, who had just pierced his body and was now calmly sheathing his sword. He asked, "Master, who are you talking to?"

Lin Fan took a closer look.

Du Xingyu's life-size projection is still relatively solid, but under the light, it has a more transparent feeling than the real person.

She had only mentioned the concept of video to Chengkong, but she didn't expect Chengkong to directly create a holographic projection.

Hmm... He is indeed a top-level mechanical engineer in the world of immortal cultivation. Even though there is a huge technological gap between them, his ability cannot be underestimated!

"It's me, Senior Brother Du. Are you feeling better? How are you feeling recently?" Lin Fan walked up to Du Xingyu and started talking.

Unexpectedly, Du Xingyu looked around but still didn't see her. He smiled, revealing his big white teeth: "Oh, it's Lin Fan! I'm fine now, look at my face..."

As he spoke, he leaned forward, but because of Cheng Kong in front of him, he muttered, "Master, can you let me talk to Lin Fan for a while?"

"Okay." Cheng Kong smiled and turned the jade token in his hand over to face Lin Fan.

Lin Fan only saw a small hemispherical gem on the top of the jade token facing her flashing as the light changed, and Du Xingyu's projection was instantly moved and stood behind Cheng Kong.

"Hey! Lin Fan!" Du Xingyu finally saw him and started dancing with joy. "Long time no see!"

Lin Fan greeted him and asked about his recent situation.

Before Le Zhengyuanqing took Lin Fan away, the residual radiation from Du Xingyu had been confirmed to have been cleared, and he also returned to his cave from the isolated Waike Peak.

However, Yifeng was not in the sect at that time, so no one was restraining Du Xingyu. He had long been bored and unable to leave the sect, so he wandered around the sect.

Compared with his weak body, his extremely poor spiritual life was more unbearable for him.

It was at that time that Chengkong bumped into him and the two added each other's contact information.

"Luckily, I was smart and enjoyed myself for a few days. Later, when my master came back, he put me in solitary confinement as expected," Du Xingyu complained. "Luckily, my headmaster uncle kept in touch with me from time to time to help him test the new Lingxi function. I was able to take a look outside. Otherwise, when you saw me again, I would have been completely exhausted."

Lin Fan took the jade token from Cheng Kong and studied it carefully, only to find that the gem on the front was similar to the function of a camera, and the back of the jade token was a round mirror-shaped polished inlay, which was the key to projecting the other party.

Therefore, she can only face the jade token directly. When she is in front of the camera, her figure can be projected on the other side, and the other party can only see the limited frame in front of them.

After ending the call with Du Xingyu, the master and apprentice discussed improving the video call function.

Lin Fan affirmed the effect of the holographic projection, and asked whether the image could be reduced to the size of a hand-held screen, or whether the frame could be enlarged during holographic projection so that the other party could see more people and objects and could communicate with multiple people at the same time.

Chengkong pulled out a few sheets of paper from his messy desk, pointed at the diagrams on them, and with his other hand, he fiddled with several alternative materials and told Lin Fan about the idea he was considering.

The two of them worked for a while and identified several feasible plans. Then Lin Fan remembered the purpose of her visit today and asked.

"Master, what's going on with Ayu?"

Chengkong had a new idea, and he felt incredibly refreshed. After pressing down the discussion, he took Lin Fan to the Arhat bed nearby and sat down. Seeing the teapot on the table, he felt thirsty. After pouring several cups and drinking, he finally spoke.

"What do you know about Ayu's identity?"

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes and recalled, "He never said it directly. But at the beginning, Jin Tong told him in front of him that his parents were both dead and he couldn't make ends meet, so he wanted to come to the Immortal Sect to seek a living. He nodded in agreement. What's wrong with his identity?"

Cheng Kong slowly poured Lin Fan a glass, pushed it towards her, and said, "Ayu's full name is Shu Zhiyu."

Lin Fan frowned: "And then?"

Seeing her bewildered expression, Chengkong paused for a moment and said with a smile, "Look at me, I forgot you don't care much about things unrelated to cultivation. You've heard about the recent wave of public opinion, right?"

Lin Fan nodded and said directly, "In the secular world, the only one who has the ability to stir up trouble and add fuel to the flames is the Human Emperor."

"Yes," Chengkong smiled, "Indeed. You can see the mastermind behind this, but you have no idea who the Human Emperor is... you, you!"

Lin Fan was startled, his brows narrowed as he frowned. "Could it be that the Emperor's last name is Shu? The same as Shu Zhiyu's?"

Cheng Kong flicked his sleeves, his lips curled up: "That's right!"

"Shu Zhiyu is a prince?!" Even though Lin Fan felt that A Yu might have ulterior motives, he never thought about it in this way.

She had never seen a prince, but she had seen several heirs to the throne whose clans were exterminated. Even though they were in decline, one could still see their former grandeur.

Even though he is Xiao, the illegitimate son of the Emperor of Heaven and his only son, he can be considered a prince by blood. He is the result of growing up in the demon clan since childhood, but he looks elegant and calm, with an aristocratic demeanor.

Thinking about the scene when he first met A Yu... Lin Fan even had some doubts about the accuracy of this information.

"It's true." Cheng Kong knew Lin Fan's suspicions without even looking, because his first reaction upon hearing the news was the same. "The information your Uncle Yifeng brought back is confirmed to be accurate. However, Shu Zhiyu is the illegitimate son of the Human Emperor."

Yifeng originally went to investigate the source of the rumor about Lin Fan, but the other party cleaned up the mess and nothing was found.

Later, the tide of the secular world changed dramatically, and rumors unfavorable to the immortal sect were repeatedly spread. Yifeng simply stayed down and waited patiently to see what was going on.

After a few visits, Shu Zhiyu's identity was discovered by accident.

Lin Fan had never seen the Human Emperor of this world, but in his impression, even if he was an illegitimate prince, he would not end up like a beggar, right?

Moreover, after Shu Zhiyu entered Changtianmen, he had been looking for a vassal force. After entering Yinyuewu, he had also been trying to reduce his presence.

Does this fit with his status as a prince? Even if he's illegitimate?

But the question of why he secretly read "The Offensive" has now been answered. It turns out that it was due to family tradition.

"The child's identity doesn't seem to be a secret among the nobles in the secular world, and the Human Emperor has no intention of hiding it." Chengkong continued.

"Shu Zhiyu has been intelligent since childhood, earning the reputation of a genius at such a young age. I wonder if the Human Emperor wants to use him as a whetstone, but he hasn't protected him, yet he continues to express his affection. It's only natural that this has annoyed the legitimate heir."

"He was being hunted? So he came to the world of immortal cultivation to hide?" Lin Fan guessed.

"That's probably what's going on." Chengkong nodded. "If he truly believed in the Dao and had cast aside those worldly ambitions, it wouldn't be a problem. My Changtian Sect wouldn't be unable to protect him. But he just isn't like that."

Lin Fan thought of the time she caught him peeping and commented impartially, "He does have a talent for strategy and tactics."

"More than that." Cheng Kong laughed out loud, "His tricks are much more powerful than yours."
