Lu Xiao closed his eyes, his brow furrowed in guilt, and after a moment he muttered to himself.

"Sure enough, there is indeed something wrong with this secret order."

This was all performed for Fan Xian.

After hearing his mumbling, Fan Xian couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

He had originally prepared a lot of arguments to convince Lu Xiao that he was not a traitor.

But judging by Lu Xiao's behavior at this moment, it seemed that he had already noticed something was wrong.

"You already knew there was something wrong with the assassination order?"

Lu Xiao opened his eyes and nodded slightly.

“I do have some doubts.”

"Then why did you want to assassinate me?" Fan Xian was puzzled.

Lu Xiao said, "It's just a suspicion. It doesn't count. We spies should prioritize our mission. If you didn't hold my Inspector General's badge, I would still kill you."

Fan Xian was speechless.

So if I don't have this badge, my death would be in vain?

This is too deceptive.

The subsequent plot is pretty much the same as the original.

Lu Xiao took the initiative to tell Fan Xian that the person who assisted him in drugging Fan Xian was the housekeeper.

Then Mrs. Fan had the housekeeper's legs broken and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

Only after Fan Xian had finished dealing with these final matters did Lu Xiao invite him out of the Fan Mansion.

On the city wall of Danzhou.

Lu Xiao asked:

"Are you going to Beijing tomorrow?"

Fan Xian nodded and said, "Yes, you saw the red-armored cavalrymen at the gate of the Fan Mansion. They were sent by my biological father, whom I have never met, to pick me up."

"Do me a favor." Lu Xiao said.

Fan Xian was puzzled: "You are so capable, why do you still need my help?"

Lu Xiao said, "I've confirmed via carrier pigeon that the order to assassinate you was indeed forged. There's a traitor within the Inspection Office. I must investigate this thoroughly. However, I suspect someone doesn't want me to return to Kyoto. After all, if I die, the clues will be lost. It's too dangerous to travel alone. It's relatively safer to follow you."

The Red Armored Cavalry were the imperial guards, and each one was quite powerful. A hundred of them could rival ordinary ninth-grade warriors, so Lu Xiao's excuse was quite reasonable.

Of course, his real purpose was to further gain Fan Xian's trust and friendship along the way.

Everyone knows how much Chen Pingping cares about Fan Xian.

As long as he and Fan Xian can establish a good relationship, it will be much easier for him to act within the Inspection Institute.

Who knows, maybe I can get a promotion this time when I go back.

Therefore, there are only benefits and no disadvantages in being friends with Fan Xian.

Who says they have many fathers?

Lu Xiao had no background, so if he wanted to become the chess master as quickly as possible, the best way was to leverage his power.

At the moment, it seems there is no better choice than Fan Xian.

Who said he was gullible?

After listening to Lu Xiao's explanation, Fan Xian said dissatisfiedly.

"This isn't a difficult task, but why should I help you? Don't forget, you wanted to kill me not long ago."

When this matter was mentioned, Fan Xian suddenly felt pain in his body.

It's not an illusion.

It really hurts.

When Lu Xiao beat him up before, he really beat him up.

Lu Xiao said expressionlessly, "You owe me a life."

Fan Xian wanted to refute, but he couldn't find any words to say.

Finally, he said helplessly: "Okay, just this once, we're even."

"Okay." Lu Xiao said decisively.

At this moment, Fan Xian suddenly remembered that he still didn't know the other person's name, so he asked.

"By the way, we can be considered as acquaintances after fighting. What's your name?"

Lu Xiao slowly turned his head and said, "Inspection Office, Lu Xiao."

At night, Fan Xian arrived at a grocery store at the entrance of the Fan Mansion.

This grocery store is owned by Wuzhu.

Although it was losing money every day, it never went bankrupt over the years.

"Uncle Wuzhu, Uncle Wuzhu."

As soon as he entered the door, Fan Xian shouted loudly.

"I am here."

Wu Zhu, dressed in black, appeared silently behind Fan Xian.

Fan Xian was startled. "Oh, my uncle, could you please stop being so elusive? I almost died today, uncle, did you know that?"

Wu Zhu nodded: "I know."

Fan Xian's eyes widened: "Uncle, have you been here all this time?"

Wu Zhu continued, "Yes, I was there from the beginning to the end."

"Then you just watch me get beaten up. Are you still my uncle?" Fan Xian was speechless.

Wu Zhu: "That person didn't have any murderous intent, so I didn't attack him."

Fan Xian muttered, "Hey, he really didn't lie to me. He really did show some mercy."

"That man is very powerful. If he really wanted to kill you, he could do it with just one move," Wu Zhu said.

Fan Xian's eyes widened: "Is he so strong?"

Although he already knew Lu Xiao was very strong after today's battle, he didn't expect his uncle Wu Zhu to give him such a high evaluation.

So Fan Xian pressed on, "Uncle, how strong is he? How does he compare to you?"

Chapter 15: Aspirations Are Hard to Achieve

Wu Zhu never lies, so after hearing Fan Xian's question, he answered truthfully.

"In terms of combat power, he's not as good as me. I can kill him with one sword strike, but if we're just talking about the sophistication of martial arts, I'm not as good as him. The martial arts he displayed today were the first I've seen, especially his swordsmanship. There are several sword moves that are even more sophisticated than Si Gu Jian from Dongyi City."

"As expected, Uncle, you're still the best." Fan Xian had just finished speaking when a hint of confusion arose in his heart: "Swordsmanship? He didn't use his sword today?"

Wu Zhu said, "Using your finger as a sword, your realm is too low, so you didn't see it."

"So I'm the only loser?" Fan Xian asked.

Wu Zhu nodded. "If we're talking about martial arts aptitude, you're truly useless compared to him. His Qi is only at the eighth level, but with his martial arts, he can definitely unleash the power of a ninth-level warrior. And you, with your seventh-level Qi cultivation, haven't even displayed half of your strength today. You're truly useless."

Fan Xian's face darkened. "Uncle, your words are too hurtful. It's not my fault. From childhood to adulthood, you only taught me how to take a beating, but never taught me any martial arts techniques."

"I've said it before, I don't know martial arts, I only know how to kill. If you want to learn, you can ask the man today. If he's willing to teach you, your strength will definitely be greatly improved in a short period of time."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian's eyes lit up instantly.

The next day, Fan Xian knelt down to bid farewell to Old Madam Fan and officially set off on his journey, escorted by red-armored cavalry.

As for Lu Xiao, he naturally followed the team openly.

He is different from Teng Zijing, so he doesn't need to fake his death to escape.

The carriage was not very fast, so it would take at least a month to reach Kyoto.

During this period of time, the affairs of the Joy of Life world can be put aside for the time being.

The Great World.

In the mountains behind Yunlu Academy, Lu Xiao had rarely not been reading all day for the past ten days.

Suddenly gaining the seventh-rank martial arts cultivation and the sixth-rank Confucian cultivation, one must first familiarize oneself with one's own power.

The martial arts system was easy to learn. With Lu Xiao's martial arts experience from other worlds, it only took him a few days to fully master his own strength.

He even found time to search the academy for a manual on how to enter the sixth-grade Bronze Skin and Iron Bones realm.

Yunlu Academy has a large collection of books.

Even the techniques of several other cultivation systems are included.

Of course, this is also due to the uniqueness of the Confucian cultivation system.

The top three Confucian and Taoist masters have almost no combat power.

Only after reaching the sixth rank can one begin to display the miraculous powers of Confucianism and Taoism.

The sixth rank of Confucianism and Taoism, a Confucian scholar, is a person who embraces all things and is able to learn the unique skills of other schools, put them into writing, record them in books, and then use them when facing the enemy.

At the high level, one can learn with a single thought, and at the super level, one can replicate the enemy's spells with 100% accuracy with just one glance.

Therefore, if one wants to better master the magical powers of Confucianism and Taoism, one must naturally delve into other cultivation systems.

It is precisely because of this that Yunlu Academy houses many other types of martial arts.

After careful study, Lu Xiao finally discovered.

His martial arts path is a little different from others'.

Thanks to his own existence, his Qi and blood were now so strong that they far surpassed those of ordinary seventh-grade peak warriors.

The reason why he couldn't enter the sixth level was simply because he failed to complete the most critical stage of body refining.

Unfortunately, the academy didn't have the Buddhist Vajra Indestructible Divine Art. Otherwise, his martial arts skills would definitely be able to advance directly in a short period of time.

The Vajra Indestructible Divine Art is the untold secret of the Buddhist sect in the Dafeng world. It is difficult to obtain unless one joins the Buddhist sect.

Without this kind of skills to help, one can only rely on ordinary skills to slowly polish the body.

This will take a lot of time.

After much thought, the hope for a quick breakthrough ultimately rests with the other worlds themselves.

Fortunately, Lu Xiao had discussed his current problems with several others two days ago.

Shaoge Lu Xiao and Xiaoao Lu Xiao both said they would help him find a solution.

There are also many body-building exercises similar to the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art in their two worlds.

But there's no rush on this matter.

After talking about martial arts, let's talk about Confucianism.

Compared to martial arts, Confucianism is slightly more difficult to control.

Since I have no experience to refer to, I can only figure it out on my own.

Fortunately, Lu Xiao's talent in literature is not bad.

After studying for a while, I gradually became familiar with the use of literary energy.

In the pavilion on the back mountain, Lu Xiao closed his eyes and calmed down, concentrating on cultivating his own spiritual energy.

Wisps of literary energy emanated from his body, and began to influence the laws of the world around him.

After a moment, the spiritual energy in his body reached its limit, and Lu Xiao immediately began to recite.

"My Diao Chan is on my waist!"

As soon as the words fell, the literary energy that had just been mobilized burst out instantly.

At the same time, the rules of the surrounding heaven and earth began to shake.

Sadly, after a while, nothing happened.
