Although Fan Xian tried his best to avoid a direct conflict with Emperor Qing, he didn't know whether the other party had found out something and actually had the intention to kill him.

Ever since the first assassination attempt, Fan Xian understood that this situation could not continue. He was not afraid of anything personally, but he was worried that Emperor Qing would pose a threat to the Fan Mansion.

Just as he was planning his action, Emperor Qing was suddenly assassinated, and the entire court was in an uproar over the issue of appointing a crown prince.

According to common sense, after the death of Emperor Qing, the crown prince should have inherited the throne, but now the crown prince is deeply involved in the mystery of the assassination of Emperor Qing and it is difficult for him to extricate himself.

Fan Xian had no interest in these court struggles. He was more concerned about who assassinated Emperor Qing and whether it was someone in the temple who did it.

He immediately found Xie Yuchen and asked about the relevant situation.

"He is indeed someone from the temple, and you also know the assassin." Xie Yuchen said bluntly.

"Is it Wuzhu?" Fan Xian asked hesitantly.

After all, he had only been to the temple once, and the only person he was familiar with was Wu Zhu.

"Yes, it's him." Xie Yuchen nodded slightly and said in a positive tone, "He has always wanted to kill Emperor Qing and avenge Ye Qingmei, but he didn't find the opportunity before. This time, I don't know where he heard that Emperor Qing wanted to kill you, so he left the temple and sneaked into Kyoto when others were not prepared, and successfully assassinated Emperor Qing."

"Is Wuzhu injured?" After hearing this, Fan Xian showed a look of sudden enlightenment and asked with some concern.

"He was injured, but he is not an ordinary person. He will be fine after a little repair." Xie Yuchen shook his head and replied.

"That's good. I'll go to the temple to thank him another day!" Hearing this news, Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he changed the subject and looked at Xie Yuchen and asked, "By the way, Senior Brother Xie, is Li Chengze planning to fight for that position? I think he's trying his best to dethrone the crown prince."

"He may not have that intention, but he has some personal grudge against the prince, so naturally he doesn't want him to take that position." Xie Yuchen smiled slightly and said in a joking tone.

"Looking at his recent behavior, I thought he wanted to sit in that chair too! I was thinking about whether I should give him a hand." Upon hearing this, Fan Xian raised a playful smile and continued, "In that case, I will not get involved in this mess. Emperor Qing passed away suddenly, and the situation in the court is changing rapidly. The Fan family also needs to be more cautious to avoid being innocently involved."

"Fan Jian has been in the officialdom for many years, so he must have been prepared. You don't need to worry." Xie Yuchen comforted.

"Brother, you are right. I am worrying too much." Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and couldn't help laughing. Then, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he said, "However, the political situation is turbulent now, and all forces are ready to make a move. If we are not careful, it may lead to a bloody storm. Although the Fan family has a strong foundation, we can't take it lightly."

"That's true. We still need to be vigilant." Xie Yuchen nodded and agreed. "By the way, Uncle Seven sent a message saying that our Grandmaster is helping Tiandao to open up a new space. It shouldn't take long to complete the task. Let's prepare to leave in advance."

"So fast?" Fan Xian asked in surprise.

He originally thought that this would be a long process, but he didn't expect it to be over so soon.

"It's not that fast. If we delay any further, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it to Eighth Uncle's wedding." Xie Yuchen said with a smile.

"Yes, I heard about this matter from Master. If it weren't for the difference in the speed of time flow between the two worlds, I would have missed Eighth Uncle's happy event long ago." Fan Xian nodded in understanding.
