"You're transported to another world at the same time? What the hell is King Arthur?"

The Second Prince liked to recruit talented people. Among his subordinates were the famous Black and White Impermanence, Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu, who were renowned throughout the myriad realms.

He originally thought Zhang Tian was Master Ye's disciple, so he greeted him with a smile. But in the blink of an eye, he discovered that the other party had actually stolen the Flowing Cloud Scattered Hand technique and had just killed the successor of Si Gu Jian.

He's inadvertently provoked two grandmasters!

As the saying goes: "The steps of a virtuous lady from the pre-Qin period, I will take the first step."

The Second Prince immediately fled. He had thought of other things as well. Fan Xian's assassination attempt in the capital would surely alarm Emperor Qing. Fearing that it would cause him any trouble, he naturally had to withdraw in advance.

Fan Xian? It's better not to recruit him!

So when Fan Xian looked at the Second Prince who was leaving in a hurry, he already had an answer in his heart. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Tian again, wanting to confirm whether this was the enemy who killed his mother.

Zhang Tian shook his head.

The assassination attempt on Niulan Street was not carried out by the Second Prince, but was premeditated by the Eldest Princess, because of an imperial decree issued by Emperor Qing that Lin Wan'er's husband would gain control of the Imperial Treasury.

In the eyes of the Eldest Princess, Fan Xian was just a country boy, the illegitimate son of Si Nanbo, and was completely unworthy of her daughter.

Moreover, the Imperial Treasury earns tens of millions of taels of silver every year, making it incredibly wealthy, which is her key to controlling the court and winning over officials.

Moreover, it was her morbid belief that she could surpass Ye Qingmei back then and become the person Emperor Qing needed most.

How could they possibly be willing to lose their inner treasury?

That's why the Niulan Street assassination happened.

They selected foreign forces and almost succeeded.

Zhang Tian buried himself in the food, enjoying the delicacies left by the Second Prince. He was somewhat relieved that the Eldest Princess, who was obsessed with her brother, did not know Fan Xian's true identity and that Fan Xian was Ye Qingmei's son.

Otherwise, the assassins who came to Niulan Street today would not have been the two female swordsmen from Dongyi City, nor the top-ranking eighth-grade master Cheng Jushu.

It was Ye Liuyun!

Although the other party has been using Junshan Society's money all these years while traveling the world, eating and staying in the best places wherever he goes.

Moreover, the Ye family also received assistance from the other party.

Therefore, he owed the eldest princess a favor.

If Ye Liuyun really comes today, Zhang Tian can only apologize and say that the road is slippery, and then he will go first. After all, he only has the fifth-grade domineering true qi. Even if he uses all his strength and has the ability to regenerate health infinitely, he probably won't be able to kill a grandmaster in one move.

That could really kill instantly!

It really can blow up a mountain!

"Hopefully, that guy who's dominating the world will have a smoother experience..."

"That guy, Ren Woxing."

"They're not easy to manipulate."

Fan Xian had no appetite at the moment. Looking at the table full of delicacies, he suddenly remembered something. Besides the Second Prince, there was another force that knew his whereabouts today, and that was the Drunken Immortal Inn that had hosted them today.

His gaze sharpened as he looked at the pretty girl who was making tea with her head down, and he casually inquired, "What's your name, young lady?"

"My name is Si Lili, the most beautiful courtesan at Zuixianju. The Second Prince has sent me to entertain your two distinguished guests."

This was Si Lili's first time meeting Fan Xian, yet she appeared poised and confident. "I have long admired Lord Fan's reputation, and seeing you today, I can confirm that it is indeed well-deserved."

Her face wore a smile, but her heart was already filled with panic. It was because on that day, Lin Gong had coerced and bribed her to take away the Northern Qi's secret token, which allowed him to order Cheng Jushu to commit murder and also made him aware of today's assassination attempt.

The assassination on Niulan Street did indeed occur.

But Fan Xian appeared here unharmed, without losing a single hair. However, from the conversation between the other party and the Second Prince, it was learned that one person had died and two had escaped. Who escaped? Who died?

If Cheng Jushu is caught.

Will they betray her?

Si Lili was in a state of utter confusion when she heard Fan Xian narrow his eyes, a hint of suspicion in his voice, "How did you know I was Fan Xian?"

"I also heard what the Second Prince just said. Furthermore, Lord Fan recently outshone everyone at the poetry gathering with a seven-character quatrain, and everyone in the capital knows about him."

Si Lili then slowly recited, "The wind is fierce, the sky is high, the monkeys howl mournfully; the islet is clear, the sand is white..."

"Okay, I understand."

Fan Xian blushed and silently apologized to Du Fu. He explained that the situation was urgent that day, and he was forced to borrow the poem. He really didn't want to use the name. He would burn more paper money in the future to pay the copyright fee.

He feigned emotion, "Coming to your Drunken Immortal Abode today wasn't easy. Two female swordswomen from Dongyi City jumped out halfway there. They've learned real skills; they're ruthless!"

Si Lili remained unmoved, as she knew nothing of what was happening in Dongyi City, and her expression was perfectly calm.

"However, his skills weren't very refined, and he was easily killed. Later, a burly man like a bear crashed out of the wall. I don't know whose faction he belonged to, but he was so stupid. He was clearly a warrior charging into battle, yet he was assassinated. He was incredibly dumb!"

Fan Xian burst into laughter.

He mocked mercilessly, "So guess what?"

Si Lili forced a smile, "How would I know? I suppose Lord Fan is blessed by the heavens and has captured that audacious person."

She already had a bad feeling.

My premonition came true.

Fan Xian patted Zhang Tian on the shoulder, praising him profusely, "But that guy was as dumb as a pig. Despite his huge size, he was easily killed by my guard with a single palm strike at close range. What a pity! That eighth-grade hard qigong! That's the kind of battlefield vanguard that a thousand men couldn't defeat!"

Si Lili forced herself to remain calm, pretending to still be thinking of Fan Xian, "Young Master Fan has gotten himself into trouble this time. Si Gu Jian of Dongyi City is the most protective of his own. If we can't get Master Ye to come, he might be in danger."

Fan Xian has already obtained the answer.

He picked up his chopsticks and started eating, already having made up his mind. "Si Gu Jian is indeed troublesome, but who says my Qing Kingdom only has one Grandmaster?"

Ye Liuyun will not protect them.

Call me Uncle Wuzhu! I, Uncle Wuzhu, am invincible!

Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but surely it should be fine to run away with them?

Fan Xian was filled with trepidation. He didn't know Wu Zhu's strength, but he felt that the other party was extremely mysterious and must be a master, but he didn't know if he had reached the level of a grandmaster.

Surely you're not bragging, Uncle Wuzhu?

They'll die a horrible death! And two of them will die!

The dining table fell silent instantly.

Only the leisurely sounds of Zhang Tian and Fan Xian eating their rice filled the air.

Soon, hurried footsteps could be heard outside Zuixianju. It turned out to be people from the Surveillance Bureau. After discovering the assassination on Niulan Street, they immediately investigated the identity of the deceased and followed the carriage tracks to find this place.

Wang Qinian mingled in the crowd.

He gave an embarrassed smile.

"You're the one who committed murder on Niulan Street today, and you're eating here? Arrest him immediately and throw him in death row!"

"Wait, I have the badge of a Superintendent of the Censorate."

Zhu Ge stepped out from the crowd, looking at the waist token in Fan Xian's hand with slight resentment. He hadn't expected Chen Pingping to give it to him, but he still found a way to cause trouble. "The corpse on Niulan Street was Cheng Jushu from Northern Qi. Why did you kill him? Was it because of a conflict of interest that led to you killing him to silence him?"

Fan Xian chuckled.

"Show me the evidence!"

"you!"

Seeing Fan Xian's arrogance, Zhu Ge's expression turned somewhat angry, but after hesitating for a moment, he tossed his robes and left, saying, "Wait, don't let me find you."

He then hurriedly left with his men.

Fan Xian watched the other person's retreating figure with a playful expression. Wang Qinian suddenly appeared from nowhere and said, "Oh my, my little Fan Xian, this is Zhu Ge, the Chief of the Surveillance Bureau. He has immense power and you can't afford to offend him. Go and ask for your savior."

You mean my dad?

Fan Xian felt this was unreliable. "My father is a vice minister; how could he possibly have authority over the Censorate?"

"Oh dear, that's not the father I'm talking about."

Fan Xian looked at Wang Qinian with a blank expression. Besides Fan Jian, how many fathers could I possibly have?

except this.

Who else?!
