Joy of Life: Starting from Teacher Fan Xian

Chapter 108 The Forbidden Door
Fan Xian rolled up his sleeves to wipe the sweat off his face, then followed the guards out of Taiping Villa. Today he had had a little fun with His Majesty, and although it was exciting, it was also inevitable that he felt flustered.

Seeing the ninth-rank archer blocking his way, Fan Xian's heart moved, and he knew that it was not a good thing, and then a faint smile broke out on his face.

"Commander Yan, do you have anything else to do?"

Yan Xiaoyi looked at his prey like an eagle, and asked, "Who is the archer in the forest?"

Fan Xian spread his hands and said, "I have no idea what Commander Yan is talking about."

Yan Xiaoyi said in a stern voice: "When I ask you a question, it's best to answer it truthfully."

Fan Xian ignored him and walked out of the hospital.

With the exquisite iron bow blocking his chest, Yan Xiaoyi refused to give in and had no intention of letting him go.

It seems that he must have been played a trick in the fight with Lin Zhong just now, otherwise he would not have vented his anger on a young boy, Fan Xian thought to himself.

Then I thought to myself, am I someone who can be bullied?

"Commander Yan, His Majesty has said that you cannot stop me from leaving the house." Fan Xian said sternly, his eyes becoming fierce.

"If Commander Yan wants to disobey the order, I can tell His Majesty for you. There is no other way. I am not good at anything except making complaints." Fan Xian waved his hand again, turned around and was about to enter the courtyard.

Yan Xiaoyi originally wanted to scare the opponent with his imposing manner, but it didn't work as expected, so he could only reluctantly move half of his body away.

"His Majesty also told you not to investigate today's incident. His Majesty has done his best to protect the commander's reputation." Fan Xian patted the tall man on the back, somewhat recklessly, with a hint of disdain on the corner of his mouth.

With so many defenses in place, it's not shameful to let a young man sneak into the yard silently.

Yan Xiaoyi smiled but didn't really smile, and said as he looked at the departing figure, "I'll remember you."

"Thank you, but I'm face-blind and can't remember you." Fan Xian waved back and walked away in a swagger.

……

After returning to the camp, Fan Xian was still wondering if it would cause concern because of the late hour. However, he saw a group of people eating with gusto using his barbecue grill, and his face instantly turned dark.

Fan Sizhe ate the roast chicken in his hand with big mouthfuls, his mouth full of oil, and he did not forget to look outside. When he saw Fan Xian, he waved loudly: "Fan Xian...Brother is back."

Thinking of his sister beside him, Fan Sizhe, who had a strong desire to survive, changed his words quickly.

"Xiao Xianxian is back." Dabao, who was eating heartily, was excited.

Fan Xian moved a stone over and sat down. He sniffed and smelled the authentic smell, wondering, "Who made this?"

"I did it. Have you forgotten, brother? I once taught your sister." Fan Ruoruo said as she fiddled with the fire.

Fan Xian's eyes went dark, and he felt something heavy blocking his heart. It took him a long time to develop this set of barbecue equipment. He had originally intended to show it off today to whet Wan'er's appetite and show off his charm as a good man, but he ended up giving it to his sister as a dowry...

Fan Xian, who wanted to cry but had no tears, looked at his fiancée who was chewing slowly and contentedly, and finally let go of his worries. He could only silently pick up a grilled fish, smear it with sauce and seasonings, sprinkle some cumin, and eat as much as possible to make up for the loss.

"Where are my flowers?" Lin Wan'er suddenly put down the food in her hand, puffed her face, and said angrily.

Fan Xian was startled, then he remembered that the reason he left was to go out to find flowers for Wan'er to dress up. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's quite barren around here, there aren't many nice flowers."

"Xiao Xianxian is lying. Dabao just ran around and found a lot of flowers."

Fan Xian's face turned completely dark.

Ye Ling'er added fuel to the fire very frankly: "Men are all deceitful. Sister Lin must learn to adapt."

Fan Sizhe looked at this scene and said to Ruoruo in a low voice, "Sister, something bad is happening. The marriage is going to be ruined."

Fan Ruoruo glared over and hit Fan Sizhe hard on the forehead. The latter couldn't bear the pain and cried out. Everyone's attention was drawn to him, and she finally helped her brother to ease the situation of being the target of everyone's criticism.

Fan Xian quickly grabbed a handful of flowers picked by the maids from beside him and presented them to her as a surprise. He laughed and said, "These flowers are too plain. I always feel that they are not worthy of you, so I don't want to give them to you."

Lin Wan'er wrinkled her nose in a very pretty way, smiled sweetly and took the flowers, finally fooling Fan Xian.

The day passed in an ordinary way. Fan Xian was planning his evening life under the stars and the moon, but unexpectedly, the frail Wan'er caught a slight cold.

In desperation, the group looked for a nearby villa, which was said to be one of the properties where Prime Minister Lin accepted bribes. Fan Xian didn't care about that and just reported the name.

When the old businessman heard that it was the princess and her husband, he became extremely busy, fearing that there would be any mistake in the reception.

This trip ended so abruptly. Accompanying Wan'er to fall asleep with medicine, Fan Xian glanced at the specially made telescope. Feeling bitter, he stood alone in the yard and looked at the turbulent night sky.

Fan Ruoruo came out with a coat and pretended to put it on: "Brother, it's still a little cold at night, don't catch a cold."

Why does it feel a bit like a scene from an idol drama... Fan Xian shook his head: "Don't worry, brother isn't cold." He stopped the awkward scene from happening.

Fan Ruoruo complained to him, "My sister just went to deliver a quilt to the master, and there was no one in the room. I don't know where she went."

In the mountains outside the village, Lin Ruo stood with his hands behind his back under the bright moonlight and couldn't help sneezing.

"Sir, Mr. Fei... has already gone to Dongyi City." Wang Qinian shivered in the cold wind. He ran for a long time just to pass on a message. Lin Ruo nodded and asked in confusion, "It's a little earlier than the original schedule."

Wang Qinian explained helplessly: "First, the court is in a hurry, and second, something happened in Dongyi City, so Mr. Fei went ahead. And I am here to bring you a message as ordered."

"What does the dean require?" Lin Ruo asked with understanding.

Wang Qinian explained the news and said, "The dean doesn't have any requests, but he wants you to leave as soon as possible, the day after tomorrow at the latest, and there can be no further delay."

"Will His Majesty return to Beijing tomorrow?" Lin Ruo asked.

"The dean entered the palace today and had a lot of things to do. His Majesty should go back to deal with them. Why do you ask this, sir?" Wang Qinian reacted and was confused.

Lin Ruo did not explain the reason, and said calmly: "That's good."

Wang Qinian remembered the dean's other instructions and said, "By the way, regarding the Cangshan case, Mr. Fei will handle it on behalf of the court. After all, he once treated Si Gu Jian, so it should be no problem for him to ask for some favors from Dongyi City."

"The case is not a problem. The main thing is to complete another task." Lin Ruo responded.

"In short, you don't have to worry about the case, just go to the sword furnace directly." Wang Qinian also echoed.

"Okay, I understand." Lin Ruo agreed and asked, "Sir Wang, won't you accompany me?"

There was no response for a long time. When Lin Ruo turned around, Wang Qinian had already disappeared.

"The feelings have really faded, and I'm too lazy to even be perfunctory." Lin Ruo sighed.

……

"I remember my father said that my mother's grave is in a very secluded place outside the city. Having said that, he was always unwilling to reveal the specific location. He only said that he would take me there when the time was right." Fan Xian suddenly mentioned these words in the courtyard.

Fan Ruoruo was deeply moved, thinking that although both of them had rarely seen their mothers, they had a difference. She could at least pay tribute to her deceased mother every year, but her brother couldn't even find the burial place of his own mother.

Fan Ruoruo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised her head in surprise: "Brother, do you mean you have found a clue?"

Fan Xian raised his lips and said, "Of course. I just asked the manager of the villa about the situation of Taiping Villa. I heard that many years ago, the owner of the Ye family lived here. Later, the Ye family's property was taken over by the inner treasury, and this place became the royal family's villa."

"In the outer areas of Kyoto, in terms of secrecy and the inconvenience that my father mentioned, this courtyard where my mother stayed is probably the most suspicious. So, my mother's tomb is very likely to be there.

Wu Zhu stood in a dark corner, listening to the entire conversation between the two. His mind flickered, and he seemed to remember something, and he looked extremely painful.

The next moment, Wu Zhu suddenly appeared in the yard, and a hint of urgency appeared in his cold words: "I know where the things are."

Fan Xian looked around and made sure there were no outsiders. He then felt relieved and asked excitedly, "What is that?"

"That thing is at the bottom of the lake in the courtyard. That's not right." Wu Zhu covered his head and said uncertainly, "It looks like a key, but also like a door."

Wu Zhu's voice suddenly increased: "Forbidden Gate!"

"Forbidden door? Is there a monster locked inside?" Fan Xian thought rationally.

Wu Zhu hurriedly pulled him, "Tomorrow, we will go tomorrow and find it out."

This was the first time Fan Xian saw Uncle Wu Zhu so excited, so he quickly comforted him, "Uncle Wu Zhu, calm down first. His Majesty is still in the courtyard, so he may not be able to go tomorrow."

Fan Ruoruo was anxiously standing aside and couldn't get a word in.

"No, I can't wait that long. If I wait one more day, I might forget a little more." Wu Zhu began to return to his true nature, his words gradually became emotionless, and he said stiffly, "If you don't go, then I will go by myself."

"Your Majesty will leave for Beijing tomorrow, and we can go." Lin Ruo walked slowly into the courtyard and told the three people the news.

Fan Xian nodded immediately: "We will go to Uncle Wu Zhu tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go tomorrow." Wu Zhu got the answer, turned around and disappeared in three or two steps.

Fan Xian had already gotten used to Uncle Wuzhu's sudden disappearance. He turned to look at Ruoruo and said, "I'll have to trouble my sister to send Wan'er and Dabao back tomorrow."

Lin Ruo had already returned to the room. It was indeed a bit cold outside.

Fan Ruoruo said sensibly, "Leave it to my sister."

Although she wanted to stay, she couldn't do anything in the end. The only thing she could do was to help her brother take care of his sister-in-law.

"Sister will return home tomorrow to wait for news from brother. Be careful." Fan Ruoruo said worriedly, looking towards the brightly lit bedroom, "Master must also return safely."

"Don't worry, sir and Uncle Wuzhu are people you don't need to worry about at all." Fan Xian was very confident about this, and at the same time he did not feel any burden about tomorrow's actions.

What is he afraid of if someone can lead him?

"I'll be back safely." A gentle voice came from the bedroom.

"Sir, you never lie." Fan Ruoruo finally smiled.
