From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 137 Chatting about the East Palace on the way

It's another early morning.

Outside the Supervisory Office, Chen Pingping in a wheelchair and Sean in shackles began a verbal exchange.

Fan Xian stood aside and watched with a shy smile.

Qin Yuan was dressed in black armor, riding on a horse, and stomping back and forth at the door of the Supervisory Office with an impatient look on his face.

Finally, he couldn't help himself any longer and said to the two old men who were arguing with each other at the entrance of the supervisory office, "Dean Chen, it's been twenty years. You should have said everything you wanted to say. If you really can't bear to let him go, don't let him go. I'll take him to your bedroom, let him sleep with his feet touching, and we can talk slowly."

Chen Pingping's face darkened, and he remained silent. However, Sean raised his head and laughed hoarsely, "Young man, you have no patience at all."

Qin Yuan just gave him a cold look and said, "You're an old turtle who can't even protect your own family, so stop talking about those useless things."

This sentence seemed to irritate Sean. He suddenly straightened his body, like an enraged sick lion, staring at Qin Yuan with scorching eyes, and said word by word, "You will die, you will die miserably!"

Qin Yuan opened his mouth and laughed, "Come on, old turtle, you have been eliminated by the times. Such harsh words can't even scare a child on the street."

Seeing this, Fan Xian, who was standing by, had no choice but to step forward and say, "Alright, alright, both of you, stop talking. It's time to set off."

※※※

The delegation's convoy headed north and camped in a small wood at night.

Unlike the original novel, this time, because Qin Yuan, a powerful man above the ninth rank, was accompanying him, he was also accompanied by a team of Eastern Palace guards, all of whom were eighth-rank masters and were very safe. Therefore, Fan Jian did not arrange his own tiger guards. As Fan Ruoruo's position in the Eastern Palace became more and more stable, the relationship between the Eastern Palace and the Fan family became closer and closer. It can be said that they were as close as a family. With the Eastern Palace's group of wolf-like guards, tiger guards were no longer necessary.

"Master Fan, I noticed you looked very nervous all along the way. Did the Overwatch Council give you another shady mission?"

After the campsite was set up, Qin Yuan entered Fan Xian's tent carrying a pot of wine.

Fan Xian: "...Nothing, I'm just worried about Sean."

"There's nothing to worry about him. He can't run away." Qin Yuan smiled and handed him a small porcelain bottle. "This is for you."

"What is this?" Fan Xian asked curiously as he took the small porcelain bottle that looked strangely familiar.

"This thing is called Hua Gong San, made by that wicked Gui Zitian. Even if it's of the ninth grade, if you smell it, your whole body's Qi will dissipate. Lang Tao was defeated by this thing."

"Energy-Transforming Powder?" Fan Xian, who had already opened the bottle and subconsciously wanted to take a whiff, shuddered suddenly and hurriedly put the cork back in. He asked with some doubt, "Isn't it said that Gui Zitian's Qi is poisonous?"

"His Qi is poisonous, but this poison must have a source. He first refined the Hua Gong Powder and then integrated it into his Qi." Qin Yuan said, "Anyway, this is what he told us. I don't know how he succeeded."

"So that's how it is!" Fan Xian was secretly surprised, but he praised, "The Four Vajras of the Eastern Palace are truly worthy of their reputation!"

"What do you mean by a well-deserved reputation? It's all just empty talk." Qin Yuan poured Fan Xian a glass of wine. "Actually, the Eastern Palace isn't as impressive as people say. We're just the attendants and tutors who've trained with His Highness since we were little. His Highness is quite strict with us, which is why we're where we are today."

"Your Highness is a gifted man, having achieved Grandmaster status at such a young age. Your future is secure," Fan Xian sighed. "Now, no one can threaten the Crown Prince's position, right?"

"Not just now, but from the very beginning, no one has been able to threaten His Highness." Qin Yuan laughed, "How can a group of mortal beasts of burden stand shoulder to shoulder with the Crown Prince?"

"Mortals are just cattle and horses?" Fan Xian's face twitched, but he said nothing more.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Qin Yuan said, "I came to see you because I have something important to tell you." "What?"

"Yes, the Crown Prince asked me to tell you that your mission in Northern Qi is very important, mainly concerning the inner treasury. Yan Bingyun has left, and you need to find a replacement for him. The candidate given by the Supervisory Council is He Daoren. Although He Daoren is a ninth-rank swordsman, his status is special, and the affairs of the inner treasury cannot be handed over to him. We need to find someone else."

"Master He?!" Fan Xian was shocked. This time when he went north to reorganize the spy network, the Supervisory Council said that there would be a special person to take over, but he didn't know who the replacement would be. They only said that they would contact him when they arrived in Northern Qi, and gave a code for contact. However, he didn't expect that it would be the famous Master He.

He Daoren was a famous ninth-rank swordsman in Northern Qi. The reason why Fan Xian knew him was because he was the master of Cheng Jushu who assassinated him on Niulan Street that day. The two of them could be said to have a grudge against each other, so he could never have imagined that the person he was going to meet was actually He Daoren.

He didn't know how Qin Yuan knew it?
Oh, Qin Yuan is the prince's man, and the prince is a grandmaster. In this world, if you add the three words "grandmaster" in front of any incredible thing, it will basically become reasonable.

"Then, does the East Palace have a suitable candidate?"

"This is a matter for the inner treasury. Once you arrive in Northern Qi, the inner treasury will naturally contact you and give you a few people to choose from."

"I understand." Fan Xian nodded, and he finally understood something.

I have heard for a long time that the eldest princess has a close relationship with the Eastern Palace and is suspected to have very deep dealings with them. Now it seems that not only is this true, but the Eastern Palace has also participated in the economic war against Northern Qi. I just don't know if His Majesty, who sits on the ninth floor of the imperial palace, knows about it.

"There are also problems with your martial arts."

Just as he was lost in thought, Qin Yuan's words startled Fan Xian again, "My martial arts?"

"Yes, the Crown Prince said that the martial arts you practiced were inherently flawed, and you didn't have a master to guide you. You practiced recklessly on your own. You're lucky to be alive now. He recently comprehended the Tianyi Dao's mental method and discovered a method for regulating internal energy. He asked me to pass it on to you. If nothing else, I guarantee that by the time you reach Northern Qi, the hidden dangers in your martial arts will be resolved, allowing you to maintain a stable position above the Ninth Rank. As for how to open the Mysterious Gate and advance to Grandmaster status, I need to think about that further."

Fan Xian opened his mouth and stared at Qin Yuan blankly. For a moment, he didn't know what to ask.

"Don't look at me like that. You're not surprised by anything you haven't seen before." Qin Yuan glanced at Fan Xian with a clear sense of superiority on his face.

"The Crown Prince is a gifted man. He said that the martial arts of the world are crude and vulgar, and that all martial artists are as stupid as pigs and dogs. The previous Grandmasters were just lucky ones who had reached the Grandmaster level by chance. They knew the result but not the reason. Therefore, even if they had become Grandmasters, they could not train the next Grandmaster. It is said that the Crown Prince is kind-hearted and could not bear to see the martial artists in the world struggling to achieve their goals, so he showed mercy and opened up a stable path for them to advance to the Grandmaster level. What do you think? Do you want to listen?"

"Uh, yes..." Fan Xian twitched his lips, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.

What did he hear? A stable path to Grandmaster status?!
If it was anyone else, he would just treat it as a joke, but if it was the prince...

The prince himself is already a master...

Uncle Wu Zhu said that the assassin was stuck in a bottleneck, so he lured him out to hone himself, and maybe he has been promoted now.

The other three great Vajras of the Eastern Palace, plus the Crown Princess Ye Ling'er, are already ninth-rank experts at such a young age...

All of this seemed to confirm what Qin Yuan said.

Maybe the prince really did it.

if it is like this……

Then this world is probably going to undergo earth-shaking changes!
