I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 166 The Fairy Queen opens her eyes!
A golden glow filled the eastern sky, dispelling the last wisps of twilight. The rising sun leaped out from the clouds, and the morning light passed over the Dayin Mountains, pouring down on Qingwu County, covering the small city with a layer of golden light.

A ray of sunlight fell into the county government office, penetrated into the tea room, and fell on Xie An's face.

The entire teahouse was silent. Everyone stared at Xie An, feeling the solemnity in his eyes.

Chen Tie asked cautiously, "Master Zongsi, what's wrong?"

Xie An finally came to his senses and spoke solemnly, "Deputy Director Chen, have Li Fushan detained. Remember, he cannot be allowed to see any outsiders."

Feeling Xie An's serious expression, Chen Tie called Liu Chun from outside the courtyard without saying a word, and asked Liu Chun to take care of it personally.

After everything was arranged, Xie An picked up the rice paper and approached the oil lamp.

puff~
The flames jumped onto the rice paper and grew bigger and bigger. In a few seconds, the rice paper was burned to ashes in Xie An's hand. As Xie An shook his hand, black ashes flew to the ground.

Zhao Qing'er was quick-tempered and spoke bluntly, "Master Xie, are you still going to wipe out the Giant Whale Gang?"

Xie An shook his head, "Don't worry."

Zhao Qing'er's temper flared up again, "Are you scared?"

"Nonsense!" Chen Tie came out and shouted, "How can you speak to the General Manager like that?"

Then, Chen Tie asked, "Has General Xie met the emissary of the Giant Whale Gang before?"

At this point, Xie An weighed the pros and cons and felt that there was no need to hide anything anymore.

He had chosen to inform the eldest princess via a secret letter because he had not yet joined the Demon Suppression Division.

Now he is the general manager...

Xie An said, "Four years ago, when Yuhe and I were underground in the Corpse Refining Hall, we saw this woman sitting in the shrine. Later, after listening to Deputy Director Chen, I realized... this woman was Jin Xiaotang, the Immortal Queen of the previous dynasty."

hiss!
The words "Fairy Queen Jin Xiaotang"... made Zhao Qing'er, Wei Haoran and Chen Tie gasp.

The hot-tempered Zhao Qing'er also calmed down. After a long moment of daze, she suddenly became happy. "Thank you, General Manager, you are really the eldest princess's lucky star. The eldest princess has been looking for the fairy queen for more than 20 years, and you have found her. She can't escape now."

It seems that the eldest princess has a reason to let you be the general manager.

"What should we do now? Send people to surround the Giant Whale Gang?"

Chen Tie glared at Zhao Qing'er speechlessly: "Don't be impulsive. Among us, only General Xie has seen the Fairy Queen and knows the most about her. Let's listen to General Xie's opinion."

Facing everyone's gazes, Xie An said in a deep voice, "I've seen the Immortal Queen's spirit tablet. She lived for a full three hundred years. This means she was a martial arts master in her lifetime, and not just any martial arts master. Now that she's revived, we can't be sure of her strength. It would be unsafe to act rashly."

Since the last conversation between Xie An and Tang Zhengyang, Xie An has gained a deeper understanding of lifespan and strength.

A martial artist with internal strength can live up to 150 years.

This is the limit. Ordinary martial artists cannot live that long. They will die at the age of one hundred or twelve at most.

Even a master of health-preserving exercises like Tang Zhengyang, who has practiced Mingyu Gong to the sixth level, can only live to about 140 at most, and it is difficult for him to approach the limit of 150.

The same must be true for martial arts masters.

Three hundred years is the limit. It is extraordinary for an ordinary martial arts master to live to two hundred and fifty or two hundred and sixty years.

Jin Xiaotang was able to live for a full three hundred years.

Moreover, even though she was dead, she could still rely on the immortal energy to maintain her health. Even if Xie An sucked all the immortal energy out of her body, she could still be forcibly revived.

The former Fairy Queen and leader of the Immortal Cult.

This woman is so terrifying that there is no need to describe it in words... Even if she is weak now, a wave of her hand will definitely be terrifying.

This person is definitely a person who is ten or even a hundred times more dangerous than Li Changchun.

Xie An weighed the pros and cons briefly before coming up with an idea. "This matter is of great importance. You and I must keep our mouths shut. Also, it would be best if one of us goes to Nanyang Prefecture and informs the Princess in person. Only with the Princess' presence can things be handled safely."

Chen Tieshen agreed. "Master General is indeed very thoughtful. Zhao Qing'er, you should set off immediately and go to Nanyang Prefecture as soon as possible."

"Then I'll go right away." Zhao Qing'er also knew that the matter was of great importance, so she turned around and left without any hesitation.

Chen Tiedao said, "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, but we've already alerted the enemy. What if we disturb the Fairy Queen and she runs away...what should we do then?"

Xie An said, "This is easy to handle. Our Demon Suppression Division is investigating the conspiracy between the Giant Whale Gang and Zhou Li. Just don't create any unnecessary complications. As for Li Fushan and Zhou Li... to prevent Zhu and Liu from coming back to see them, I suggest that we kill these two as soon as possible and put an end to it."

Chen Tie secretly admired Xie An's skill and said, "That's easy. Just say they committed suicide in prison. That way, we can completely cut off the possibility of the news leaking out. It won't arouse the suspicion of the Giant Whale Gang."

Xie An agreed deeply, "Deputy Secretary Chen has made thorough considerations. We'll discuss everything after the Princess arrives."

"No, no, no, it's Master Souji who's thoughtful..."

……

Xie An took Yuhe back to the southeast branch of the Demon Suppression Division.

Yuhe brought some meat buns and soy milk and ate them with white porridge.

The soy milk was obviously sweet and delicious, but Xie An found it tasteless. The appearance of the Fairy Queen made Xie An feel uncomfortable all over.

Now that he knew that the Queen of Fairies was behind the Giant Whale Gang, Xie An had no choice but to shelve his plan to suppress the bandits.

"Master, Zhao Qing'er is riding a BMW and will be back in three days. The princess should also be here by then, and then things will be easier."

Xie An thought about it and realized that it was not him who wanted to capture the Fairy Queen, but the eldest princess.

Why worry so much?

If you find the Fairy Queen's whereabouts, report it to the Princess. Once the Princess captures the Fairy Queen... you can receive a Zhong Gong.

He made a fortune out of nothing.

What a wonderful thing.

Other things have nothing to do with Xie An.

Now all I have to do is wait a few days.

Thinking of this, Xie An felt much more relaxed.

Take a sip of soy milk.

It tastes pretty good.

What just happened...

After eating and drinking, Xie An stretched himself, walked to the drunkard's chair in the courtyard, lay down and basked in the sun, while Yuhe moved a small coffee table over, made some tea, put two small plates of dried fruits on it, and then sat next to Xie An and basked in the sun as well.

Yuhe supported her chin with both hands, staring at the sun in the east, lost in thought, with a smile appearing from time to time. No one knew what she was thinking.

Xie An naturally noticed Yu He's silly smile and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Yuhe didn't hide her smile, but turned her head to look at Xie An, "I was thinking about the first time I met the master. At that time, the master was still a fifty-year-old man. I didn't expect that now six or seven years have passed, the master is getting younger and younger. But Yuhe is getting older and older."

Xie An laughed and said, "That's impossible. Yuhe is obviously becoming more and more mature and beautiful."

Yuhe turned her head away and said, "Master, you only say nice things and try to coax people."

Xie An stared at the woman beside him, her hair dancing in the wind, her pretty face looking particularly delicate under his gaze, outlining a very beautiful face. Xie An didn't say much, just feeling the tranquility of the moment.

What emerged in my mind was the past when I met Yuhe and the nearly seven years we spent together.

Time really flies.

It would be unrealistic to say that Xie An didn't feel any emotion in his heart.

People say that time is ruthless, but people are affectionate.

Xie An felt that he was lucky, as he met two good disciples, the maid Yuhe, as well as Brother Tang, Madam Li and others.

Although the years have left no traces on Xie An's face, these affectionate and righteous people have left Xie An with very warm memories over the years.

Although Xie An was afraid of death, he also didn't want to die.

But it would be too boring if a person lived alone.

As he thought about it, Xie An thought of He Chunli in prison.

Suddenly, Xie An sat up abruptly.

Yu He, who was standing by, was startled. "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Xie An said, "Now that I've discovered the Fairy Queen's whereabouts, all I need to do is capture or kill her, Princess, and I'll be credited with a victory."

"correct."

"But this matter was all caused by my disciple He Chunli. Does that mean He Chunli has contributed to the cause?"

Yu He was stunned for a long time before she adjusted to Xie An's train of thought. "I think... count. But it's useless for me to say anything. The princess has to speak first. Let's talk it over with the master later. I think this is reasonable..."

Xie An thought it over carefully in his mind.

It was indeed because of He Chunli's incident that Xie An accidentally discovered the whereabouts of the Fairy Queen.

Plus, by then the princess would have captured the Fairy Queen, made great achievements, and would be in a good mood. She might even agree right away.

After much deliberation, Xie An felt that this matter had a high chance of success.

"I'm going to the prison."

...Demon Suppression Prison.

He Chunli leaned against the corner in a daze, looking at the only square window that could let in light, feeling the sunlight shining in, as if he saw the freedom outside.

But he himself was in shackles, and was about to face exile.

He Chunli was no longer the apprentice he once was. In the past four years, he had gained a lot of experience and learned a lot about Daqian.

Exile... the mortality rate is extremely high. Even if you survive, you'll have to serve for life. Either mining or building city walls, it's generally not a good ending.

A lifetime is ruined just like that.

Thinking about not being able to be a human being anymore, without freedom, no longer being able to chat and laugh with Han Li, or go to the Weisheng Martial Arts School with him to practice martial arts, and not being able to serve his master, and not being able to support him until his death...

Every time He Chunli thought of something, the grief and anger in his heart grew stronger.

Tears couldn't help but flow down.

"Master...I'm sorry."

The one who feels the most guilty is the master.

Without a master, there is no self.

Thinking of Chunlan and Li Huwei who was stabbed to death by him, He Chunli smiled.

Crying, laughing.

"Chunlan, I'm sorry. I was ultimately incompetent. But I never regretted stabbing Li Huwei to death for you. From now on, you have to take care of yourself. If you meet a good man, marry him. Live a good life."

As he spoke, He Chunli covered his face and cried bitterly.

At that moment, there was a clanging sound of shackles dragging on the ground behind him.

He Chunli didn't look back, just kept crying.

This is a prison. It's normal for someone to be arrested. There's nothing to be surprised about.

Soon, He Chunli heard a familiar voice.

"Sir, I am innocent, I am innocent!!"

Ok?
Isn’t this the voice of County Magistrate Zhou Li?
This voice was too profound for He Chunli.

It was this guy who had tortured him in the cell. The burns on his face were also caused by Zhou Li using a red-hot iron. He Chunli was extremely angry at the time.

Dog officer!

He Chunli immediately stopped crying and slowly turned her head. Sure enough, she saw Zhou Li wearing prison clothes and locked in the fence opposite.

Then, He Chunli couldn't help laughing and said angrily: "You dog official, you have come to this day."

Zhou Li, who was standing opposite, saw He Chunli and was furious. "I really regret not killing you in prison. But it doesn't matter. I have someone behind me, so I'll be able to get out sooner or later."

Although he thought it unlikely, he didn't want to lose face in front of a prisoner, so he pretended to be calm.

As expected, upon hearing this, He Chunli was filled with grief and indignation. "I know you've colluded with Li Fushan! Master is right. It's not me who's wrong, it's this world."

It was not until this moment that He Chunli remembered what Xie An had said to him.

The feeling is so profound.

Not long after, another familiar voice was heard.

"Sir, I feel wronged."

As the ground shook, Li Fushan was also locked up in the cell next to Zhou Li's.

"Hahaha."

He Chunli suddenly laughed, "Li Fushan, you've also received retribution."

Li Fushan's eyes blazed when he saw He Chunli. "You evil thief, you stabbed my son to death. You won't have a good end. Don't think you can survive just because the Demon Suppression Division has taken over this case. Killing someone means paying with one's life. This has been a matter of course since ancient times. The Demon Suppression Division cannot show favoritism."

He Chunli gritted his teeth and said nothing, just staring at the two of them with bloodshot eyes.

I don’t know how long it took, but I heard footsteps in the distance.

It was Xie An who came over holding a broadsword.

He Chunli was delighted to see Xie An, "Master."

Xie An nodded, walked to the outside of the fence, squatted down and looked at He Chunli, "Has the doctor come to see him?"

He Chunli said with tears in his eyes: "I have come to see you. Your injuries are no longer serious."

Xie An said: "That's good, sit down and rest."

After saying that, Xie An turned and looked at the two people opposite him.

Zhou Li and Li Fushan were both stunned.

They never imagined that He Chunli was actually the disciple of the general.

Suddenly, the two people understood a lot of things.

No wonder...

Facing Xie An's cold gaze, Li Fushan suddenly thought of a way to survive and immediately kowtowed to the ground, "Master General! It is my ignorance. It is my failure in parenting. Brother He stabbed my son to death, well done. He truly rid the people of harm. Brother He is truly a hero who rids the people of harm in Qingwu County. I will not pursue this matter any further."

Zhou Li also sensed Li Fushan's thoughts and immediately kowtowed to the ground. "This humble official was foolish and actually handled the case incorrectly. This matter is indeed not Brother He's fault. It is all Li Huwei's own fault. Brother He is not only innocent, but also acted righteously to eliminate harm for the people. He is a great hero. This humble official will handle this case. This humble official is not afraid of being criticized."

Ah.

Xie An sneered, holding a knife, walked to the outside of Li Fushan's cell, took out the key and opened the door, "Li Fushan."

Li Fushan prostrated himself on the ground and said respectfully, "I am here. What are your orders, sir?"

Xie An said, "Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Your son deserves to die. My disciple did the right thing."

"Yes, yes, your Excellency is right. The rebellious son indeed deserves death. If you give me another chance, I will stab my rebellious son to death without Brother He having to do anything."

"No need to go through so much trouble. I'll send you down, and you can just stab your son to death again." Xie An snorted coldly, then cut Li Fushan's neck with a knife.

This made He Chunli and Zhou Li dumbfounded.

Master, how...

Zhou Li realized something and kept backing away, "Master General, how dare you..."

Xie An didn't answer. He took out the key and opened the cell door. He entered with a bloody knife in his hand and approached Zhou Li. "This is no big deal. Several of us in the Demon Suppression Division have decided that you two cannot survive."

"No, no, don't come over here..."

The knife flashed and split Zhou Li's neck.

Then, in front of He Chunli's shocked eyes, Xie An walked out of the cell, threw away the knife, and shouted into the distance, "Someone, come here, the criminals Zhou Li and Li Fushan committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

Wei Haoran immediately rushed over, and after seeing the scene, he exclaimed, "What a shame, he deserved it."

Then, Xie An and Wei Haoran looked at each other with expressions that showed they understood.

Wei Haoran was originally arranged to come in and silence the witness.

When Xie An just entered the door, he met Wei Haoran and did it for him.

Wei Haoran walked over and picked up the sword on the ground, shouting, "Damn it! Who left this sword here? It actually gave the criminal the opportunity to commit suicide out of fear of punishment. Investigate, we must investigate!"

……

The Whale Gang.

It turned out to be the headquarters of Baiyutang.

In the backyard.

Su Yuqing originally lived in this backyard, but now another woman lives there.

An old man with a crystal corpse approached the room holding a baby and passed the baby in through the half-open door. Suddenly, a withered hand stretched out from the crack of the door and snatched the baby away.

Immediately afterwards, the heart-wrenching cry of a baby was heard in the room.

Soon, the crying stopped.

The crystal corpse looked through the crack in the door and vaguely saw a woman dressed very seductively sitting inside.

He was curious.

The woman never opened her eyes.

I have kept my eyes closed for four years.

Just as the crystal corpse was about to leave, he suddenly saw the woman inside open her eyes.

When the crystal corpse saw those eyes, it was as if it had seen something extremely terrifying. It was so frightened that it slowly knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring down its face. The whole person was stunned, as if its soul had been sucked out of it.
