I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

Lin Fan became even more confused.

It seems that there are many things that I don’t know yet.

Whether it was Chun Fang bringing paper candles to the Taoist temple, or the one-armed Taoist's reaction when he saw him, Lin Fan felt that there were many doubts.

"Your Highness?" The one-armed Taoist priest could hardly believe his eyes. He put the whisk on his belt and rubbed his eyes with his only remaining right hand.

"you know me?"

Lin Fan pointed at himself and asked warily.

"How could this old servant not recognize Your Highness? Please come in!" The one-armed Taoist priest had a look of joy on his face and hurriedly invited Lin Fan to enter the Taoist temple.

Lin Fan suppressed his doubts and entered the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple is not big, with only four rooms.

As soon as he entered, Lin Fan saw a huge guardian statue.

The largest one.

The plaque reads: Sanqing Temple.

The remaining rooms had no plaques and no statues.

There was a room with a locked door, and no one knew what was going on inside.

"My place is a little poor, and there is no incense or burning candles. Please don't blame me, Your Highness! Oops, I actually forgot to make tea. Your Highness, wait a moment, I will make some tea right away." The one-armed Taoist slapped his forehead and said in regret.

"No hurry. We are already extremely guilty for disturbing the Taoist priest's peace. How dare we trouble him again?" Lin Fan waved his hand and stopped the one-armed Taoist priest.

Lin Fan had a lot of doubts in his mind and wanted to ask the one-armed Taoist priest.

Furthermore, the tea today is not the tea brewed in later generations.

Instead, he put a lot of condiments into the boiled tea just like cooking soup. Not only was it troublesome and time-consuming, but Lin Fan really couldn't get used to drinking it.

Seeing Lin Fan like this, the one-armed Taoist stopped being polite and asked, "Your Highness, are you here to pay homage to the Queen?"

Lin Fan nodded and asked, "How did you know this, Taoist Priest?"

"Your Highness, please pay your respects first. I will discuss this with you in detail later."

The one-armed Taoist sighed.

Lin Fan nodded and saw the one-armed Taoist took out a key and walked straight towards the locked house.

The one-armed Taoist inserted the key and turned it. After the lock opened, he said to Lin Fan, "Your Highness, please."

Lin Fan suppressed the doubts in his heart and walked in slowly.

Chun Fang followed Lin Fan with paper money in his hand.

As soon as he entered the room, Lin Fan saw a portrait hanging on the wall.

In front of the portrait were various fruits and a few long incense sticks that had not yet been burned out, slowly emitting green smoke.

Lin Fan felt that the person in the portrait was extremely familiar.

After looking carefully and thinking back, I found that she overlapped with the mother in my memory.

The woman in the portrait is lifelike, standing in front of the garden and laughing.

Lin Fan's heart ached and tears instantly flowed.

"My queen, Chunfang and the Marquis are here to see you. The Marquis is different now. He has become very powerful and knows a lot of strange knowledge."

Chunfang lit the paper money in the brazier and began to recount what had happened recently, as if he was chatting about family matters.

Lin Fan also stood beside Chun Fang, picked up a few pieces of paper money, silently added them into the brazier, and listened quietly to Chun Fang's chattering.

The paper money burned slowly, and wisps of smoke floated up.

Lin Fan had thousands of words in his mind, but he couldn't say anything when he wanted to speak.

Lin Fan didn't know why he felt so empathetic or why he was so sad, as if it was his body's subconscious.

But Lin Fan was not disgusted. Since he had become who he is today, from now on, he was Lin Fan.

The paper money burns and turns into ashes.

Chunfang still hadn't finished his story and looked sad.

"Let's go." Lin Fan stood up, looked back at the portrait reluctantly, and left the room.

The one-armed Taoist priest took Lin Fan and the other person into another inner room.

The room was very tidy, with a table on which were piled many yellow talismans.

Lin Fan took a look and didn't understand what the yellow talisman was used for.

The one-armed Taoist priest explained as he collected the yellow talismans: "People from several nearby villages occasionally come here to pray for peace. I also know how to draw talismans, so I drew some."

Lin Fan nodded, sat down, and looked at the one-armed Taoist priest.

The one-armed Taoist's aura suddenly changed, from the immortal-like demeanor at the beginning to that of a soldier who had fought in many battles and was determined to die.

"Nu Heisha, meet the young master!"

Black sand?

And he calls himself a slave?

"I am a soldier ordered to protect the young master, but the young master does not show up normally, so it is not good for me to be exposed."

Heisha knelt in front of Lin Fan and said firmly.

"Death squad? Whose men are you?" Lin Fan was only slightly surprised, but he remained calm.

Many aristocratic families secretly train assassins, who simply do shady things for their masters.

Therefore, Lin Fan was not surprised that the Nian family had assassins.

"I belong to the Majesty, and now I belong to the Young Master!"

Heisha spoke without hesitation, his eyes revealing loyalty.

"The assassin my mother left for me?" Lin Fan murmured.

My own mother doesn't seem to be simple.

"How many people are there among you?" Lin Fan thought for a moment and asked.

If it was really left to me by my mother, then I would not be left without anyone to use.

"There were five people in Black Letter, two of them died in the battle, leaving three."

Heisha handed a piece of paper to Lin Fan.

There is a list of five people on it.

"Black Wind, Black Sand, Black Water?" Lin Fan ignored the two people on the list who were already dead.

"Can you still contact the other two?"

"Heifeng, I can't contact him. As for Heishui, he is in the imperial city." Heisha clasped his fist and said respectfully.

Within the imperial city?

The penetration is quite deep!

"Besides you, are there any other assassins?" Lin Fan thought for a moment and asked again.

Now, the only people Lin Fan can use are Xiang Long and Chun Fang.

If these death warriors were available, what Lin Fan could do would be greatly improved.

"Heisha doesn't know."

"Get up first." Lin Fan said lightly, turning to look at Chun Fang.

"Haruka, do you know about this?"

Chun Fang was stunned for a moment, and seemed to just react.

"I just found out that he is a death warrior. I have seen him several times in the Nian Mansion before."

Chun Fang and Lin Fan grew up together, so Lin Fan trusted Chun Fang quite a bit and naturally did not ask too many questions.

"My mother's grave is there. I want to go and sweep it."

"My queen, there is no grave." Chun Fang cried with tears in her eyes.

"No tomb? What does that mean?" Lin Fan suddenly felt uneasy.

"I don't know the details either."

Lin Fan frowned. There wasn't even a tomb? What kind of hatred was this?

I will find out who is behind this and no one will survive!

A murderous intent suddenly emerged from Lin Fan.

This was something Lin Fan had never experienced before.

However, Heisha kowtowed heavily and said, "From now on, I will follow the young master's lead!"

“From now on, just call him Marquis and announce to the public that I recruited you as my subordinate.” Lin Fan said calmly, his murderous intent gradually subsiding.

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

Heisha kowtowed again, then stood up and stood behind Lin Fan.
