Joy of Life: Starting from Teacher Fan Xian

Chapter 13 Head-on encounter
Early in the morning, the carriage drove slowly past, and after a slight adjustment, it quietly stopped on the road in front of the Earl's villa.

Fei Jie frowned, thinking of the embarrassing situation of a weak scholar traveling with a child, he was still a little worried: "No matter how much hatred or resentment you have, you are going to take this kid with you."

Fan Xian smiled and said in a childish way, "I am just a child. If I don't want my grandmother to worry, I need someone to accompany me when I go out. You are undoubtedly the best choice."

"Then you can pick a few guards in the mansion. Even if they are not responsible for yourself, they should at least be responsible for you, Mr. Fei." Fei Jie's face became gloomy.

Fan Xian said seriously, "No, we can't let anyone find out about Uncle Wu Zhu's existence. The master already knows about it, so he can't be considered an outsider."

Thinking of Wuzhu's specialness, Fei Jie reluctantly agreed and sighed, "You always think very carefully. No wonder those people in the capital attach so much importance to your growth."

Fan Xian chuckled, as if this trip was just a casual outing: "Don't worry, teacher. Uncle Wu Zhu has promised me that he will take action if there is any danger. He will definitely ensure that you are safe."

"I am convinced of the Fifth Master's ability." Fei Jie said without hesitation.

"Mr. Fei." Lin Ruo came soon.

Fei Jie waved his hand in annoyance: "If you encounter a criminal on the road, run away quickly, don't worry about this kid."

Lin Ruo smiled and looked at Fan Xian: "Master, have you remembered this?"

Fei Jie glared at him and said, "I'm talking to you. Move faster and ignore that brat Fan Xian."

As the carriage drove through the streets and alleys, Fan Xian stuck his head out from the curtain and waved goodbye to Fei Jie.

Fei Jie's heart suddenly warmed up, but when he turned around, his heart suddenly turned cold. Butler Zhou was standing behind him in a sneaky way. He looked scary and even more wretched than him. "It's a beautiful day, Mr. Fei, why don't you come and enjoy it together?"

"I'm not a teacher, what are you looking at?" Fei Jie said nonchalantly, thinking about how he would kill this greasy butler today.

"It's better not to go." Butler Zhou said in a deep voice, thinking that he would go there today to see if you can still be so arrogant.

After passing through the long street, the carriage went around several alleys and then got onto the main road, heading slowly towards the south of the city. The bustling scene gradually became silent.

"Why do you suddenly want to go to a place like this?" Lin Ruo looked out from the curtain and watched the road stray away from the street.

"Didn't the teacher ask students to see more of the world? I feel that what I have learned from books is a little shallow. I really need to walk around more and see more." Fan Xian said with a smile.

Lin Ruo looked up and said, "Then you should take Miss Ruoruo with you. You haven't been taking her out much lately and she feels lonely."

"My sister came to Danzhou to take care of her health. It's not suitable for her to run around."

"I saw Wuzhu." Lin Ruo said suddenly, changing the subject.

Fan Xian was stunned and subconsciously lifted the curtain: "Where is it?"

"You don't really think that a mere mortal like me can see it, do you?" Lin Ruo said lightly. Wu Zhu came and went without a trace, and even if people followed him, few could find his whereabouts.

However, even a pig's brain could guess that Wuzhu was within sight and would not be too far from the carriage.

"I've been fooled by the master again." Fan Xian snorted and complained.

"It's the same with you. The student is also teasing the teacher." Lin Ruo laughed back.

"That's because I'm afraid of scaring you, sir." Fan Xian explained seriously.

"It's scary when an assassin suddenly appears." Lin Ruo thought.

"If there is an assassin, I think Uncle Wu Zhu will have taken action to deal with him before we find him. Let's just think of it as having fun at the temple fair." Fan Xian said with a grin.

Ever since he opened his eyes for the first time and Wu Zhu led him out of the encirclement, Fan Xian had been convinced from the bottom of his heart that there was no one in the world who could rival Uncle Wu Zhu. Those guys who were known as the Four Grandmasters were probably just empty names in front of this man, not to mention a little assassin who was trying to stop a chariot with his arms.

Estimating his strength to be close to the fifth level, Lin Ruo couldn't help but think of some very interesting things about the upcoming journey.

……

The rumbling sound of the wheels stopped abruptly, and the carriage pulled over to the side under an old willow tree with lush branches and leaves. The large willow leaves on the roof faintly blocked the dazzling sky.

There are not many houses around the ancient street and few people live there. A dilapidated temple is hidden deep in the alley. The sound of bells and drums from the tower proves that the temple is run by someone.

"It's a good place to bury bones and kill people, but it's too obvious. Butler Zhou's dirty tricks are still not sophisticated enough." The two walked into the wide alley. There were many dilapidated courtyards behind low walls on both sides. It was a perfect place to hide identities and ambush.

"Sir, you guessed it all." Fan Xian smiled bitterly. He still underestimated his teacher.

The best outcome that Fan Xian could imagine for this trip was that the master would not notice anything, and the murderer would remain in the dark forever and would not be able to come out. This would be a truly ordinary temple visit.

But now that Mr. Ke has discovered it, will the murderer show up...Uncle Wu Zhu?

"Remember, scholars are much smarter than you think." Lin Ruo said calmly, "When you go to Beijing next year, you will meet more smart scholars."

Fan Xian nodded.

As the two were walking, a breeze blew in from the alley, slightly intoxicating and gentle, paralyzing people's consciousness.

"Quickly open!"

Lin Ruo suddenly frowned and pushed Fan Xian away immediately. When he looked over, he saw something flying towards him, pointing directly at his forehead.

Lin Ruo twisted his toes on the ground and cleverly moved his body to the side. The thing shot through his eyebrows like a bullet and almost pierced his head.

It was a stone, and its target was not Fan Xian, but a real intention to knock down Lin Ruo.

There was no sign of anyone in the deep, dark alley. Lin Ruo turned his gaze and looked towards the low wall, where a killer suddenly appeared. He was bending over, holding a shiny long knife horizontally, and attacked.

"I only want that kid's leg. If you get out of the way, I'll spare your life."

"dream."

With a muffled groan, Lin Ruo ran forward along the corner of the wall, confronting the killer and trying his best to stop him from moving over.

On the low wall, the killer slowed down his pace. Lin Ruo only saw the long knife moving against the wind, shining with a dazzling light, and it arrived in an instant and fell straight down from above his head.

At this moment, Lin Ruo immediately realized that this was a sixth-rank killer, the strongest among ordinary people.

In Joy of Life’s combat power rankings, the sixth rank is already the standard for an elite soldier.

The huge body smashed down, tearing the ground apart like a spider web. The killer couldn't believe it and stared at the scholar who was one meter away from him: "How did you dodge in such a short time?"
