The immortal of the Tang Dynasty, but the game starts at Xuanwu Gate?

While the kitchen was cooking, Chen Huai'an took a relaxing shower.

I was planning to have a nice meal and then take a nice afternoon nap.

A eunuch suddenly came to the door: "Duke Anguo, His Majesty requests your presence at the Eastern Palace."

Chen Huai'an nodded: "Okay, I understand. You go back first, I'll be right there."

"Yes." After delivering the message, the eunuch left.

At this moment, Chen Sujin came out carrying the food prepared by the kitchen: "Xiao An, the food is ready, come and eat."

"I'm not eating anymore." Chen Huai'an straightened his clothes. "I need to go to the East Palace. I have to leave now."

Chen Sujin was taken aback: "But you're still hungry..."

"Don't worry," Chen Huai'an said cheerfully, "I've never gone hungry while I'm in the Eastern Palace."

"Alright." Chen Sujin said no more. His Majesty's summons was a major event, and she couldn't stop him.

After giving his sister some instructions, Chen Huai'an left and headed to the East Palace.

After he left, two figures emerged from around the corner of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, staring at the object in their hands with furrowed brows.

"Strange... Brother Li, have you noticed anything?"

"No, that's really strange."

"Shall we follow them and see?"

"good!"

"......"

Chen Huai'an, however, was in no hurry and leisurely made his way to the East Palace, appearing quite relaxed.

Chen Huai'an paused for a moment, then continued walking as if nothing had happened, until he turned another corner and was about to reach the East Palace.

The two people behind immediately followed.

However, just as the two reached the corner, Chen Huai'an, who had been waiting there for a while, suddenly threw a punch.

The force of the punches was devastating, like a tidal wave.

Their pupils suddenly contracted, and one of them instinctively raised the object in his hand to block.

"boom--"

In an instant, the item in his hand was smashed to pieces, and his hand was fractured by the irresistible force.

Before he could react, a hand suddenly grabbed his face, and then he felt dizzy and was slammed to the ground.

"Brother Li!"

Another middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes exclaimed in surprise, to which Chen Huai'an replied with a smile, "Don't bother, Brother Li. I just don't understand, are you people just bored and have nothing better to do?"

"You actually came here to kill me?"

"In that case, you and your brother Li can fly together!"

Just as Chen Huai'an was about to make a move, the man in white panicked, "Who's trying to kill you?"

"Do we look like assassins or death squad members to you?"

Chen Huai'an paused, his fist still raised. He looked at his clothes and the Taoist robe-clad man lying below, grimacing in pain.

He looked again at the things he had just smashed.

He initially thought it was some kind of hidden weapon, but upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn't a hidden weapon at all, but rather a Bagua compass.

I couldn't help but believe it a little.

"Lord Anguo... what skill!" The man in the Taoist robe clenched his hands, his forehead covered in sweat, but he managed not to utter a sound of pain.

Chen Huai'an raised an eyebrow: "Who are you two? What are you doing following me?"

"This humble Taoist priest is Li Chunfeng, and this is my good friend Yuan Tiangang. We just came along out of curiosity because we thought Duke Anguo was rather... well, special. We absolutely had no intention of harming Duke Anguo."

With Yuan Tiangang's help, Li Chunfeng staggered to his feet and offered an explanation.

Chen Huai'an looked surprised and stared at the two men for a while: "Are you Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang?"

He had heard of these two very well.

The legendary Tui Bei Tu was created by these two.

There are rumors that these two people's Tui Bei Tu (a prophetic text) even predicted the present day and completely foresaw the number of emperors in the Tang Dynasty.

This includes Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne.

These two men were famous fortune tellers in history.

"Yes." Li Chunfeng said with a bitter face, knowing that his hand would probably need a long time to recover.

Fortunately, the compass stopped him in his tracks; otherwise, it's hard to say whether he could have saved his hand.

"Does the Duke of Anguo know us?" Li Chunfeng sighed inwardly, somewhat regretting his rashness.

However, neither of them had expected that Chen Huai'an, a mere civil official, would be so capable.

They believed they had some skill and could easily deal with three to five ordinary people.

But now, in just one encounter, he almost lost his life.

More importantly, he could tell that Chen Huai'an hadn't gone all out yet.

Chen Huai'an did not answer Li Chunfeng's question, but instead asked, "You say there's something special about me, can you tell me what's so special about me?"

Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang exchanged a glance, unsure of what to say.

After a long pause, Li Chunfeng carefully considered his words and said, "This humble Taoist priest cannot explain it either. Duke Anguo... seems to be someone other than an ordinary person."

"It's not about fate, nor is it about time."

"Perhaps we haven't mastered the skill enough to see it."

Chen Huai'an was startled. These two bastards actually managed to see through something?

Is it really that mysterious?

"Lord Anguo, we have offended you this time." Yuan Tiangang cupped his hands and said, "We know that you have other matters to attend to today. We will definitely come to apologize in person another day. We hope that you will not take offense."

Chen Huai'an stared at the two of them quietly, without speaking immediately.

After thinking for a moment, he laughed and said, "Oh, it's nothing. In fact, I'm the one who's sorry for hurting you."

"No need for apologies. If you have time in the future, you are welcome to visit my home. I will certainly treat you both well then."

"how?"

Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed.

"Remember, you must come," Chen Huai'an specifically reminded him.

He was very interested in both of them, and his words were anything but polite.

After confirming that the two had agreed, Chen Huai'an left satisfied.

"Brother Li... are you alright?" Yuan Tiangang asked anxiously.

"It's nothing," Li Chunfeng shook his head. "It's just a bone injury, but nothing serious. He'll be fine after some rest."

"The key is..."

Li Chunfeng stared intently at the shattered compass on the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Yuan Tiangang also noticed that the bronze disc, which was originally engraved with the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches and the Eight Trigrams, now seemed to have been struck by some invisible force. The patterns were twisted and deformed, and the location where each fragment fell did not seem to fall normally, but rather contained some kind of pattern.

"This Duke of Anguo is no ordinary man." Li Chunfeng squatted down and carefully picked up a fragment of a compass.

"Brother Yuan, we've probably offended a true immortal."

Yuan Tiangang remained silent for a long time before slowly nodding: "No wonder... no wonder we couldn't even see the auspicious signs of the Duke's mansion when we were standing outside it."

"At first I thought there was some kind of protective formation set up in the mansion, but now it seems that his own aura is too strong and has covered everything around him."

"No wonder His Majesty allowed the two of us to see it privately and forbade us to reveal it."

"He truly is a celestial being descended to earth..."

"......"
