Joy of Life: Grandmaster of the Fan Family

Three months passed quickly.

Dark clouds covered the sun in the sky above Dadong Mountain. It was broad daylight, but the entire mountain seemed like an abyss.

A team of people, with all kinds of equipment prepared, were waiting at the foot of Dadong Mountain.

Among these people, the leader was a man with a fair face and no beard, and he looked to be in his early twenties.

"Manager Wang, we have been waiting here for two months?"

One of his subordinates questioned Wang Buer cautiously.

"Shut up, the master is in retreat, don't make any noise."

Wang Buer glared at his men fiercely.

The subordinate immediately shut up and remained silent.

Wang Buer did not reprimand them too much. If the day had not been so gloomy, his men probably would not have been so impatient.

Wang Buer raised his head and glanced at the dark clouds above his head.

He felt that the dark clouds were like a hidden army that was about to charge towards them.

Wang Buer shuddered subconsciously.

But he quickly got rid of this negative emotion.

"My Lord, he must be fine."

Fan Bin said that the time he spent in seclusion could be as short as one month or as long as three months.

Wang Buer and his men had been waiting here for a month, waiting for Fan Bin to come out of confinement so that they could deliver the prepared things to him as soon as possible.

Help Fan Bin take a bath and change him into clean clothes.

If they don't change their clothes for several months in a row, they will definitely feel uncomfortable.

This wait lasted for two months.

Time is not important. What really frightens Wang Buer and the others is the dark clouds gathering in the sky.

When they first arrived, the dark clouds had already begun to accumulate, but now, they have extended to who knows where.

In short, they couldn't see the end at all.

There was no light at all at night, not even during the day, not even at noon.

All they could see was a distance of ten or two feet in front of them.

This weather lasted for two months and became increasingly gloomy.

No wonder his well-trained secret guards all felt unsure.

This is really, really unusual!

If you think about the rumors that have appeared recently.

Just as Wang Buer was thinking this, his men suddenly pointed forward.

"Butler, please look."

Wang Buer looked in the direction the other person pointed, and suddenly he saw a ray of light in the dark clouds.

"It's thunder and lightning!"

The clouds gathered, but no rain fell.

Now the time has come to the three-month mark.

Why are there so many thunders in the sky?
Wang Buer's heart felt like it was beating like a drum.

Wang Buer himself didn't believe it when he was told that this had nothing to do with their adults.

"Could it be true, as the rumors say, that Your Excellency has offended the temple?"

"Boom!!!"

There was a rumble of thunder, and the lightning accumulated in the dark clouds was like a black electric ball.

Even if that electric ball was more than ten miles away from them, or even farther.

Wang Buer and his group of secret guards were also terrified by what they saw.

"My Lord, is he going to come out?"

Even though they had never experienced this kind of thing before, Wang Buer and his secret guards all had the same thought in their minds.

Otherwise, they really couldn't explain the scene before them.

"boom!"

Just when several people were feeling uneasy, there was a sudden explosion more than ten miles away.

At this time, the entire Dadong Mountain was shaking slightly.

“Yes, sir!!”

The distance was too far, and Wang Buer and his men couldn't even see the shadow of anyone.

But Wang Buer still made a judgment in an instant that this figure must be their master.

The secret guards under Wang Bu'er also nodded.

They were still in shock in their hearts.

But there was already an expression of relief on their faces.

It seems that as long as they see their adults come out, they will not be afraid even if they are really against the whole world.

Just as everyone was thinking this, the dark clouds gathering in the sky seemed to have accumulated all their strength.

It transformed into bolts of lightning, striking down from the sky, heading towards the center of the explosion.

The moment Fan Bin came out of retreat, he felt the active energy of lightning...

Looking up at the sky, hundreds of thunders were striking towards him.

Even though Fan Bin had extraordinary martial arts skills, he was unable to avoid the overwhelming thunder and lightning.

Not to mention the speed of Thunder, which was simply impossible for him to dodge.

Fan Bin was like a living target, enduring the critical strikes of these thunders.

"boom!!!"

The earth-shaking roar once again resounded throughout the Dadong Mountain.

Dadong Mountain was shaking continuously as if it had experienced an earthquake.

By the time hundreds of thunders faded away, the dark clouds in the sky had also dissipated by nearly one third.

The rest are still piling up, preparing for a second wave of attack.

Fan Bin was struck by hundreds of lightning bolts, and his clothes were turned into charcoal.

Most of his skin was exposed, and it was as smooth as a baby's.

Even though he had just been baptized by thunder, he didn't seem to have suffered any damage at all.

"Isn't your method too low-level, Lin Nan?"

Fan Bin looked up at the dark clouds that were still accumulating energy, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Disperse!"

This time, Fan Bin did not use the sword to open the gate of heaven. He just used his iron rod and casually swung a sword into the sky.

The sword energy spread across the sky, stretching for dozens of miles.

As the sword energy rose into the air, the dark clouds in the sky were directly split into two by the sword.

This was not the end, the overflowing sword energy continued to destroy the split dark clouds. The dark clouds, which were split into two halves, continued to retreat and began to dissipate.

In the eyes of Wang Buer and the others, they saw the dark clouds in the sky being split apart by a sword. The sunlight shone directly on them through the gap.

The dark cloud that had been weighing on them for two months was resolved so easily.

The smile on Wang Buer's face was extremely bright.

So what if the rumors are true?
Even if their family really offended the temple, so what?
As long as their adults are around, it’s not them that should be worried, but the temple.

"Go and greet the adults and prepare your clothes."

Hundreds of thunderbolts concentrated on one point.

Although due to the distance, Wang Buer and the others could not see clearly.

But they could feel that the person who was struck by the lightning must be their master.

Most of the secret guards in the Qing Kingdom’s palace are warriors of the seventh or eighth rank.

Even if they are holding something in their hands, their speed is far beyond that of ordinary people.

It was only a dozen miles away, and in less than half an hour, they arrived in front of Fan Bin.

"grown ups!"

When the group of people came to Fan Bin, they didn't even dare to raise their heads, half-knelt and held up the clothes in their hands. Fan Bin nodded, stretched out his hand to take the cloak, and wrapped himself up directly.

"I'm determined!"

While speaking, Fan Bin deliberately glanced at Wang Buer. How did this hidden man in the Qing Palace escape on his own?

"My lord, please go take a bath and change your clothes first. I have prepared everything. I will explain everything to you after you finish your meal."

Although only three months have passed, more things have happened in these three months than in the previous three years.

It is no exaggeration to say that everything has changed dramatically.

Wang Buer couldn't finish what he was saying in a short while.

"Alright."

After Fan Bin came out of confinement, he became much calmer.

He gained much more from this retreat than he had imagined.

So the journey to the temple, which was bound to end in death, did not seem so hopeless to Fan Bin.

After saying that, Fan Bin flashed away and disappeared from the sight of Wang Buer and the others.

No matter whether they were seventh-rank or eighth-rank secret guards, they had no idea when Fan Bin left.
"My God, what is the strength of our master?"

Although the secret guards knew before that Fan Bin's strength was extraordinary.

Even among the grand masters, he is second to none.

But now, why does he feel that Fan Bin is even more terrifying than before?

"Are you also capable of worrying about adults' affairs?"

Wang Buer reprimanded again.

Although he himself was also very excited, he would never allow his subordinates to have any inappropriate thoughts.

"What the steward taught me was that it was my subordinate's fault."

The secret guard admitted his mistake obediently.

Although he admitted his mistake, the pride in his heart was not affected at all.

This secret guard has never felt as much as he does now that their choice is correct!

As long as they follow this adult, their future prospects will be limitless.

"Let's go, my Lord is always decisive and swift, let's go and wait."

Before leaving, Wang Buer deliberately looked up at the sky.

At this time, the dark clouds had completely dissipated, leaving only the clear sky.

When Wang Buer and others arrived, Fan Bin had already come out of the bathtub.

While putting on his clothes, he examined the dishes that Wang Buer had prepared for him.

"You're ready so soon? Don't waste it like this next time!"

"Yes, my lord."

Wang Buer, who was being scolded, still had a smile on his face.

His secret efforts were seen by his own master and were recognized by him.

This made Wang Buer very excited.

Fan Bin was not particular about eating. He asked Wang Buer to sit down and started to eat voraciously.

After not eating or drinking for three consecutive months, although Fan Bin had enough energy in his body, his stomach still felt empty.

Being able to have a full meal made him feel much better.

After the meal was finished and the tea was served, Fan Bin began to ask about the situation in the past three months.

"How is the Fan family doing?"

Although Fan Bin was confident that no one would dare to harm the Fan family now that Emperor Qing was dead.

Not to mention that Si Gu Jian stood on his side.

Even if Si Gu Jian joined forces with several other grand masters, they would not have the courage to do so.

"Your Excellency, everything is fine at home. Originally, according to your instructions, after Emperor Qing passed away, the family was to move to Northern Qi. But Master Fan said that it was not necessary. In Danzhou today, not to mention that no one dares to deal with us, even if someone is so bold, we have the power to protect ourselves."

"The old lady and the master are both in Danzhou now. Even the third young master and the young lady have returned to their hometown. They also think that it is okay to continue staying in Danzhou, so our people did not move."

After Emperor Qing's death, all the secret guards and tiger guards became the private soldiers of the Fan family. According to Wang Buer, these people have returned to Danzhou.

"How could this be?"

Fan Bin frowned.

After Emperor Qing died, he really couldn't imagine who would have the courage to expel the secret guards and tiger guards?

"Where is that kid Fan Xian? What is he doing?"

"Master Xiao Fan is now in Kyoto, presiding over the overall situation in Kyoto."

"Some of our brothers are also with Master Xiao Fan."

After hearing what Wang Buer said, Fan Bin nodded.

This was the order he had secretly passed on to Wang Buer before.

Once he stays in Dadong Mountain, the command of the secret guards will be temporarily handed over to Fan Xian.

If he was unfortunate, he would die in Datong Mountain.

The secret guards were divided into two parts, one returned to the Fan family, and the other went to Northern Qi.

Of course, this is a choice that will only be made when forced to do so.

"Since Fan Xian is here, why do we need to withdraw from Kyoto? What is the situation in Kyoto?"

After hearing Fan Bin’s question, Wang Buer did not answer the first one, but answered the second one first.

"Now the entire capital of Qing Kingdom is in chaos. I don't know who spread the rumor that you murdered Emperor Qing and disobeyed the temple. Now you have been eradicated by the temple. So our people have been jointly excluded by several forces."

After hearing what Wang Buer said, Fan Bin really didn't know how to refute for a moment.

After all, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find out.

Although this rumor sounds irritating, it is not false.

Emperor Qing did die at his hands.

As for the temple, it was not just a matter of disobedience. He wanted to uproot the entire temple.

Although from Fan Bin's personal point of view, there is no problem if he wants to do so.

But if you stand in the shoes of ordinary people and ministers of Qing Kingdom.

By doing this, Fan Bin gives people the impression that he is no different from a big devil.

If Fan Bin were still alive.

The situation is not that bad. On the one hand, those people will be afraid, and on the other hand, they also want to see how Fan Bin responds.

But Fan Bin did not come back.

After Emperor Qing died, Fan Bin also disappeared from the eyes of the world.

No matter how much the secret guards and Fan Xian clarified things to the people around them, they wouldn't believe it in their hearts because they couldn't see the person.

"Did Fan Xian not take care of that kid?"

"If Master Xiao Fan hadn't broken through and become a Grandmaster, our fate would have been even worse."

Wang Buer smiled bitterly.

They had been operating in the palace for so long, and they never thought they would be eliminated so easily.

If Fan Xian hadn't saved their lives, they would have lost half of their men.

The strength of the Dark Guards and Tiger Guards is indeed strong.

But they are not invincible!
Once they become enemies with the entire power of Qing Kingdom's capital, their final fate will not be good.

"It's not surprising. The people are kept in the dark. They don't know the truth about the temple..."

In the past, temples were like mentors or even saviors to humans.

But now, the temple that wants to unleash world destruction is a hundred times more evil than the most terrifying demon in hell.

Fan Bin had no way to make everyone understand this, he could only do it himself.

After the temple is dismantled, everyone will gradually get used to it in the future.

"After talking for so long, you still haven't told me what happened in Kyoto? Who is the new Emperor Qing?"
