Chapter 1216: Flying Sword from the Sky
Teng Zijing, who was slapped by Fan Xian, quickly reacted and realized that they had safely survived the crisis, and he could continue to stay with his wife and children.

Teng Zijing looked at Fan Xian with tears and laughter in his eyes, "Fan Xian, are we really okay?"

"It's okay! Since two eighth-rank masters didn't kill us, no one will be able to kill us in the future." At this time, Fan Xian put his arm around Teng Zijing's shoulders and said something very domineering.

"That's right! I, Teng Zijing, have survived again, and I'm sure I'll have more blessings in the future."

"Let's go! Let's show these snakes, insects, rats and ants in Kyoto Prefecture that we are under the protection of gods in the future."

"Huh? Is he really a god?" However, Teng Zijing looked at Fan Xian with a confused expression and asked.

"Although I haven't seen the top masters of this world, I am sure that they definitely don't have such strength."

"That's right! A flying sword from the sky! Only immortals have such power."

Then Fan Xian and Teng Zijing supported each other and left the scene. Then, under the strange gazes of the people on the street, they walked towards the Fan Mansion step by step with difficulty.

The Fan family, who had already received the news, naturally came out to greet them. They were all relieved that the two people had survived the disaster, but they also realized that Fan Xian and this group of people were already at war to the death.

The scene was then protected by layers of spies from the Inspection Institute, who looked at the two swords left at the scene with curiosity and fear, and of course the ashes left by Cheng Jushu and Gong Dian.

At this moment, the voice of Chen Pingping, director of the Inspection Institute, suddenly rang out, "How is it? What's going on?"

"Director, the scene is extremely messy, which shows that the fight between the two sides was very fierce. In addition, there are only two swords and two pools of ashes." Zhu Ge, the director of the First Division of the Inspection Institute, hurriedly reported to Chen Pingping in the wheelchair.

However, Chen Pingping asked the most important question, "Is there anything special about the saber?"

"No! It's the standard sword issued to the imperial guards."

"Guards' swords?" Chen Pingping, who was sitting in a wheelchair at this time, couldn't help but think of it endlessly.

As the head of the Inspection Institute, an intelligence organization in Nanqing, Chen Pingping naturally knew that there were actually two grandmasters in Kyoto Prefecture. One was naturally the genius of the Ye family, Ye Liuyun, and the other was an even more mysterious figure hidden in the imperial palace.

Of course, many people have many speculations about this person's identity, and the most popular one is Hong Siyang who is beside the Queen Mother. However, Chen Pingping knows that the grandmaster is not Hong Siyang.

Although both swords were pointed at the Imperial Palace, Chen Pingping knew that the Grand Master did not have such strength and realized that there must be more dangerous people hiding in the palace.

"The Emperor has arrived." As the eunuch's loud shout rang out, the spies of the Inspection Institute became excited.

Even Chen Pingping, who was in a wheelchair, looked at Emperor Qing in panic, "Your Majesty, this place is too dangerous. Why did you come here in person?"

"What are you afraid of! If the other party really wants to kill us, it's useless to hide anywhere." However, Emperor Qing strode in nonchalantly, followed by the great master Ye Liuyun.

"Yes! Your Majesty, there aren't many traces left at the scene. The two flying swords were just ordinary swords worn by the palace guards, and the other two were just two pools of ashes left behind by two eighth-rank masters."

"I suppose the origins of these two swords are easy to trace?"

"That's right! Because of the young lady's special regulations back then, all standard items have fixed numbers. This sword is very easy to find. The two guards who lost their swords have also been found. According to them, their swords flew directly into the air."

"Well, who are these two eighth-grade masters?"

"Cheng Jushu of Northern Qi, and..."

"Who's the other one?"

"The palace guards command the palace rules."

"Palace rituals?" Emperor Qing couldn't help but be surprised. He guessed the mastermind behind the scenes with a sneer on his face. "Humph! Damn it! They've actually reached out to me. It seems like it's time to teach them a lesson."

At this time, Ye Liuyun, the patron saint of the Ye family, approached the two swords and began to study them. After studying them inside and out, he found nothing unusual. Instead, he wanted to draw his sword under the nervous gaze of everyone.

"Canglang" sounded, and the symphony of iron and stone could be heard. Ye Liuyun weighed the sword and stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the sword of the palace guards. I believe this mysterious master should be hiding in the palace, and his strength is definitely far beyond that of a Grandmaster."

"Master Ye, do you think this person is an enemy or a friend?" Emperor Qing then directly asked the most crucial question.

"It's hard to say! Who are Cheng Jushu and Gong Dian trying to assassinate?"

"Fan Xian, son of Fan Jian, the Minister of Revenue, Si Nanbo."

"Then this mysterious person must be related to Fan Xian. However, it's clear that the missing Wu Zhu doesn't have this kind of power. It seems that Ye Qingmei left behind more than just Wu Zhu as a backup. Another, even more powerful, mysterious person may have been hiding in the palace all along."

"The imperial palace?" At this moment, Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping beside him both had their eyes flickering. Naturally, they knew that Su Ning was the only one related to Fan Xian in the palace.

Of course, Emperor Qing also understood that the sudden action of this mysterious man was meant to warn him, the emperor, not to go too far.

At this moment, Emperor Qing suddenly looked at Ye Liuyun in front of him and asked, "Master Ye, can you help me observe someone?"

"Okay." At this time, Ye Liuyun naturally understood that Emperor Qing had a suspect.

"..." Even Chen Pingping, who was standing by, suspected Su Ning and began to question Su Ning's identity again in his heart.

……

Unfortunately, the instigator at this time, Suning, was a man who only cared about setting fires. Just when Emperor Qing, Ye Liuyun and others were feeling overwhelmed by this matter, Suning was sitting by the lake and continuing to fish leisurely.

"Lili." Su Ning naturally noticed Si Lili who was distracted beside him.

"I'm here." Si Lili quickly perked up and came to Su Ning.

"Pinch it for me."

"Yes! Your Highness."

Then Si Lili suppressed her worries and worked hard to massage Su Ning's back and waist, but she had already decided to leave Kyoto as soon as possible. She knew that the assassination of Fan Xian would soon be traced back to her.

Su Ning, who was enjoying Si Lili's service, asked with a hint of meaning, "I've recently fallen in love with a little wild cat. This little wild cat is particularly dishonest and always wants to escape from my control and fly away. What do you think I should do with it?"

"Huh? Tie her up with a rope?" Si Lili, who was working hard, naturally didn't understand that Suning was pointing at her.

"If their wild nature is not eradicated, their lives may be in jeopardy."

"Then... then we'll find a way to get rid of its wildness."

"That makes sense! I was thinking the same thing, but I have one more question to ponder. Since this little wild cat is constantly thinking about escaping, do you think it still has relatives in its hometown?"

"This..." At this moment, Si Lili's hands suddenly stopped moving, and she suddenly woke up from her heavy worries. It turned out that the little wild cat that Su Ning was talking about was herself.

"Keep going! Don't stop." Suning urged Si Lili with a smirk on his face.

"Yes! Your Highness."

When Si Lili pressed on Su Ning's thigh, Su Ning stroked Si Lili's head with his hand, just like petting a cat. "Lili, I want to find all the kittens' families and take good care of them. Will this kitten be more obedient?"

"..."

"Lili, what do you think of my idea?"

Si Lili, who had just woken up, knew that she had no way out. Instead, she knelt before Su Ning and confessed, "Your Highness, I acknowledge my guilt! I had no choice but to hide in Kyoto."

However, Su Ning continued to stroke Si Lili's head and said, "I know! I know everything! As long as you stay by my side and be a good little kitten, I can satisfy you with everything you want."

"Yes! Your Highness, I will hand over the list of Northern Qi's spies planted in Kyoto right now."

"Good boy! But it's still up to you to take charge of the spy network. However, from now on you will all follow my orders."

"Yes! Your Highness."

Suning naturally knew that Si Lili had already made plans to escape from Kyoto, and naturally he was reluctant to let such a beautiful little wild cat leave. It was also necessary to subdue this little wild cat in advance.

Besides, Si Lili also controls the Northern Qi's intelligence organization in Kyoto. If she can take control of this organization, the benefits in the future will definitely be unexpected.

In addition, Si Lili is a character who values life very much. She is always thinking about how to save her life. Now that Suning has grasped Si Lili's lifeline, it is natural that it is easy for him to completely take Si Lili into his pocket.

"Your Highness, I was actually arranged here by Princess Li Yunrui and Crown Prince Li Chengqian. Their purpose is to have me monitor your every move, so they can also accuse you of colluding with Northern Qi spies."

"I know! From the first moment I saw you, I already knew all your origins."

"what……"

"So I saw everything clearly when you contacted the spies outside the palace without my knowledge."

"..."

……

Although Si Lili has now been successfully captured by Suning, the eldest princess Li Yunrui is still terrified. The sudden appearance of the mysterious man is like a knife hanging over their heads.

"Lin Gong, you must leave Kyoto as soon as possible for a while, and find a way to come back after the situation calms down."

"Princess, this isn't necessary, is it?"

"Idiot! Can we even guess at the existence of a being beyond the Grandmaster?"

"This……"

"Lin Gong, if you still want to stay alive, quickly and secretly leave Kyoto Prefecture."

"Yes! Princess, I will leave Kyoto now."

Then, Lin Gong fled Kyoto with his men in a panic, just like in the original drama, but was targeted by Wu Zhu who had just returned to Kyoto. The main reason was that the eldest princess's murderous intention towards Fan Xian was too obvious. Many people in Kyoto could guess that the recent disputes were all the work of the eldest princess.

In addition, the eldest princess and the prince's party are careless in their work style, which makes it easy for Wu Zhu, whose strength is equal to that of a grandmaster, to lock on to them, so in the end Lin Gong will still die at the hands of the robot Wu Zhu.

Looking at the corpses strewn across the inn, Lin Gong looked at Wu Zhu in horror and asked, "You...you are the immortal with the Flying Sword from the Sky?"

"No!" The eyepatch man Wuzhu shook his head mechanically.

"Don't kill me! I don't mind asking for any amount of money. My father is Lin Ruofu, the Prime Minister of Nanqing."

"You want to kill Fan Xian! I'm going to kill you."

"I……"

With a "swish", the sword in Wuzhu's hand cut through the aorta in Lin Gong's neck...

Wu Zhu, who had put away his sword and was pretending to be cool, looked towards the direction of the Kyoto Imperial Palace and muttered to himself, "God? Miss, is he really the backup you left behind?"

……

During this period, Kyoto Prefecture was naturally severely divided. The common people at the bottom were excitedly discussing the "Flying Sword from the Sky" in teahouses, restaurants and streets, while the upper class people in Kyoto and Nanqing were collectively speechless and in a state of panic.

However, Grandmaster Ye Liuyun was hiding in the dark, observing Su Ning's every move, and he felt that he was about to collapse because of this licentious Sixth Prince.

It was really that Suning's daily behavior constantly refreshed Ye Liuyun's three views, and made Ye Liuyun begin to doubt for the first time whether he was a real man. The main reason was that he felt that Suning was a "super genius" in playing with women.

Emperor Qing looked at Grandmaster Ye Liuyun with an impatient expression and asked, "Grandmaster Ye, what have your observations of the Sixth Prince been like these past few days?"

"Huh?" Grandmaster Ye suddenly felt speechless at this moment.

"Why? Did you notice anything unusual about him?"

"No! I'm mediocre! I'm a lecher! When I'm excited, I don't care about day or night..."

"Huh? Then could the Sixth Prince be that expert?"

"Impossible! Your Majesty, this is an insult to the masters."

"So is there such a master around him?"

"Of course not! Your Majesty, asking me to monitor such a loser... is a pure waste of my time. Besides, there is no one else around the Sixth Prince except women." At this time, Ye Liuyun was naturally angry and wanted to scold Su Ning as a licentious loser, but he suddenly remembered that this loser was the beloved son of Emperor Qing in front of him.

"Strange! Who is this mysterious master?"

"Could it be Wuzhu?"

"Impossible! Wuzhu doesn't have that kind of strength."

"It seems that Ye Qingmei left behind another person whose strength far surpasses Wu Zhu's. What I find strange is that Wu Zhu stayed behind to protect Fan Xian in Danzhou, so what is the purpose of this mysterious master?"

"It seems that no one can explain this answer to us."

"Your Majesty, now that the matter has been temporarily understood, I will return to the Ye Mansion first."

"Okay! I'll have to trouble you this time, Master Ye."

"Your Majesty is very polite."
