Fairy, I really am a villain!

"It's a minor injury. I'm sorry for involving you in the Wang family's affairs," Wang Wenxuan said, looking at the Mingde sword on his waist and smiling, "Young Master Fang, you won't blame me for being so familiar, will you? Second Mother often mentions you and says how great you are. I'm so tired of hearing it."

"How could that be?" Fang Xiwen smiled. This buddy was quite easy to get along with, so he said, "I have been eating and drinking for free in the palace recently. Rather than saying it's an involvement, it's better to say that I am repaying a favor."

"Haha, sir, you are joking."

He helped Wang Wenxuan onto the horse, then led his own horse over, and the two rode side by side towards the city.

Looking at the clouds in the distance, Fang Xiwen asked in confusion: "By the way, who was that just now?"

"The governor of Dingjun, also the patriarch of the Wang family," Wang Wenxuan shook his head, "my father. The stranger in the outer scene is most likely Yuwen Di. He had a conflict with Uncle Luo before when he came to propose marriage. In order not to be exposed, he did not use the knife, and in the end he did not kill me... What a fool."

"I see. By the way, why did you come back alone, brother?"

"Why should I be afraid of these villains? If I can break through the gate of life and death, I will kill all of them." Wang Wenxuan said calmly.

Then he thought about it and said with a smile: "Am I getting in the way, sir? You were obviously going to leave the city, but I dragged you into the battle."

"It's OK. Let me send you back first. I originally wanted to go to the Guihua Mountain Ferry. Brother Wang, do you know that the ferry seems to have not landed in the past few days? Is there something wrong?"

"Maybe there is a delay. I will ask them later. If you want to take a boat urgently, I will go and get one." Wang Wenxuan smiled heartily.

Since he asked, Fang Xiwen told him everything that had happened since he came here, including Wang Anyang's prison escape, the ambush at Wuwang Temple, the traces of the demon clan in Luyang, and so on.

The more he listened, the more solemn Wang Wenxuan's expression became, and his sword-like eyebrows were tightly furrowed, "Yes, when Ningzhu first told me, I was a little skeptical.

I never thought that Third Uncle would actually do such a thing and collude with outsiders to seize the Tiger Talisman..."

He looked frank, not afraid to tell Fang Xiwen about his family's dirty laundry. "Since that's the case, you should know about the Emperor's Sword, right?"

"Yes, the Gao family's intentions are really sinister." Fang Xiwen sighed.

"It's ridiculous that we have been kept in the dark. Unless we were told at the end of the year before last, we would still be unaware of it. After the death of his wife and children, although Third Uncle was extremely sad, he still served in the army. He kept telling himself that it was worth dying for the people... But after realizing that he was only using his life to fill the power of humanity of the Emperor's Sword, he went a little crazy."

"I understand." Fang Xiwen nodded.

Ultimately, it was the Gao family that acted dishonestly in this matter, there is no way to say anything about it; another key point is, who exposed this matter?

Seeing his expression, Wang Wenxuan nodded in appreciation and reminded him, "The Tianyan technique predicted the hexagram of the flourishing of humanity, and finally deduced it by following the clues."

"Yun family?"

"Ha, it's the Shenji Gate."

After hearing this, Fang Xiwen suddenly realized and said "Oh".

Similar to the Wang family, the Yun family has a lineage of Tianyan sorcerers. They suppress Tiannan, contend with the two local sects, the Sword School and the Sword Sect, and clean up the grassland troubles caused by Gao Chengyou, appearing to be loyal.

No matter how you think about it, you wouldn't leak something that could shake the country's foundation to the Wang family...right?

For some reason, Fang Xiwen thought of the ethereal woman who seemed to know everything. He always felt that it was somewhat like Yun Wuxin's work, except that it borrowed the name of Shenjimen.

"Because the Shenji Sect is a righteous sect, they don't like this?"

“Hahaha!” Wang Wenxuan laughed loudly, then shook his head: “Although the young master is smart, his understanding of the situation is still a little wrong.

They were not there to complain, they just didn't want to see the Gao family become more powerful. The sect could confront numerous noble families, but they definitely didn't want to see a truly unified and powerful royal family.

Exposing this shit won't have any impact on them, but it will help them see the emperor and his subjects fighting each other, so why not do it?"

This was quite outrageous. Although Wang Wenxuan didn't care much, the two of them had already reached the city gate, so they tacitly stopped talking and entered the city together.

When we arrived at the palace, Xiaodie, dressed in a skirt, was standing by the door waiting. She had an elegant temperament and a small basket with a few magnolia flowers on it. She looked like a painting.

At this moment, she was muttering to herself: "What should I say, 'Sir, flowers for you!' No, no, it's too straightforward - ah!"

Seeing the two people walking side by side, Xiaodie was shocked and put down the basket immediately, "Master, Master Wenxuan, how did you get into this state!"

Hearing this, Wang Wenxuan was stunned at first, then he reacted and laughed: "I met some scoundrels on my way back. Thanks to Xiwen's help, otherwise I might not be able to come back!"

He was originally wondering how Xiaodie knew he was coming back, but after seeing the small flowers in the basket, Wang Wenxuan immediately understood -

Are you waiting for Fang Xiwen?

Looking at Xiaodie's hurriedly running back, Wang Wenxuan bumped into him and asked, "Xiwen, how long have you lived in the mansion?"

"Less than ten days. Why are you asking this?" Fang Xiwen was a little surprised.

"Xiaodie has always waited for Ningzhu to come home. Even I'm seeing her for the first time." Wang Wenxuan looked at him strangely, thinking that he had not given him a wrong nickname.

"Really?" He didn't understand and picked up the basket casually.

A few magnolias lay quietly inside, emitting a faint fragrance.

Chapter 288: Making Xiaodie happy again

Xiaodie ran to get some hot water and brought a towel.

After the search, the two returned to the guest room. Wang Wenxuan sat on the floor and bandaged himself, while Fang Xiwen handed him some pills.

"Brother Wang has many old injuries. If they are not treated, it may affect his future practice." Fang Xiwen reminded him.

"Let's talk about it later."

Wang Wenxuan's movements were very decisive, and because of his profound internal strength, his injuries stabilized after a brief breathing exercise.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Wang Wenxuan stood up, patted his clothes, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go to the ferry."

"Brother Wang, can you do it alone? I'll come with you too."

"Of course not. I'm not so arrogant as to call for the guards at home," Wang Wenxuan smiled. "I won't bother you, sir. Your horsemanship is too poor."

"ha..."

Fang Xiwen had no way to refute, so he could only smile and shake his head; running to the ferry himself would not be of much help.

Not long after Wang Wenxuan left, Xiaodie came over and after getting her consent, she went into the guest room to clean up the bloody things.

Her movements were quick and efficient, and she quickly picked up the trash with a basin.

Then, seeing Fang Xiwen staring at the door for a long time without saying anything, Xiaodie pouted, "Sir, don't you want to talk to Xiaodie?"

She was being naughty, and asked this because she knew Mr. Fang would not refuse anyone.

"No, no, I'm just worried about Wenxuan's injury. Of course I miss you very much." He quickly denied.

Seeing this little panic, Xiaodie found it more and more interesting. "In this case, Xiaodie will come and talk to you, young master."

So she cleared the things aside, put the basin away, and they sat down some distance apart on the steps in front of the guest room.

Xiaodie held her cheeks with both hands, "Master Wenxuan has seldom stayed at home recently, and he is always busy like this, which was not the case before.

Sir, do you know that the training ground was modified by the young master? Even the targets were made by him after learning carpentry. They have been used for a long time without breaking. Isn’t it amazing? "

"Yes."

"Of course, the young master is also very capable."

"Why did you turn the topic to me?" Fang Xiwen laughed, "Could it be that I also have a share of the credit for this training ground?"

"Because the young master can chat with them. Xiaodie has never seen such a person. Either they think the young lady is too masculine, or they think the young master is too arrogant... They don't have many friends."

Fang Xiwen said: "The palace is too prestigious, most people probably feel that they are out of their reach. But they don't act too arrogantly, which doesn't seem like the children of aristocratic families."

"Really? But in fact, you and Xiaodie get along very well," Xiaodie clapped her hands with a light laugh, "Of all the people I've met, you're the only one who's willing to listen to me talk about these boring things."

There was no loneliness in her big eyes, just pure happiness.

Boring things...Although Xiaodie is a servant, she is actually very proud of the Wang family.

She has to deal with chores and serve the young lady every day, but she has never complained. This girl is actually very strong. She looks soft-hearted, but she will never give in when it comes to protecting the Wang family. The look of a heroic female general does not seem to be just an act.

"It's not boring. It's nice to listen to you talk." Fang Xiwen smiled.

"I'm trying to make Xiaodie happy again. By the way, where should we put those magnolias? I'll find a vase to put them in later. It will look nice on your desk... I've taken care of them for a long time, and I felt a little sad when I cut them off..."

The sun was shining brightly in the courtyard. Listening to her chattering about insignificant things, Fang Xiwen felt as if time had slowed down. He turned his head to look and saw Xiaodie also looking at him and smiling.

~~

After Xiaodie went to do her work, Fang Xiwen took out a book and sat on the steps to read.

At this moment, he saw a pair of boots coming into view. Looking up, he saw the young master with clear eyes, Xianzhi, the Tingni Fast Sword King.

"Hey, Brother Fang!" He smiled warmly, and it was obvious that he didn't take the fact that he was defeated in one move seriously. "Don't read here. How about we go to the training ground to spar? I have thought of a way to break that sword."

"Of course we can...Why is it so noisy in the front yard?" Fang Xiwen put the book back, stood up, and asked with some confusion.

"There is a family meeting today. The uncles and aunts have all returned and are about to go to the Zhengqi Hall to discuss matters."

"I see. I'll go take a look."

"Hey, Brother Fang, wait a minute!"

After tidying up his clothes, Fang Xiwen strode towards the front door; but for some reason, Wang Xianzhi looked a little embarrassed and followed him all the way.

He was mainly interested in the head of the Wang family. His move outside the city not long ago was very impressive. Not only was he the governor of a state, he was also likely to be his future father-in-law.

As soon as he stepped over the threshold, Fang Xiwen saw a group of people walking under the corridor in the distance. Most of them were middle-aged. Some wore light-colored Confucian robes, some wore dark green and bright red official robes, and some wore blood-stained silver armor... Everyone had a cold expression, and there was no warmth between relatives at all.

"Don't go there!"

Some urgent shouts were heard, and Wang Xianzhi grabbed the clothes on the back of his back and pulled them hard, and the two of them hid behind the rockery in the yard.

"What's wrong?" Fang Xiwen asked curiously.

"If you want to go and say hello, I advise you not to," Wang Xianzhi shook his head vigorously, "the uncles will not give you a good face."

"why?"

"They are here to discuss serious matters. Grandpa wants to release Third Uncle (Wang Anyang) and has even chosen a large house in the city to do so. Grandpa wants to use the excuse of my sister getting married to remove her tiger talisman, but my eldest uncle absolutely refuses... Do you think they are here to make dumplings?"

Wang Xianzhi talked a lot, his eyes full of disgust.

"I see." Fang Xiwen understood and didn't want to get involved in such mess anymore, so she immediately pulled him away.

However, a man in a bright red official robe spoke up: "Xianzhi, what are you doing there secretly?"

The man had a deep voice, a voice Fang Xiwen had heard outside the city. Looking at him, he had a dignified appearance, an upright posture, and a look of aloofness that was unique to those in high positions. He had an official seal hanging around his waist, which made him look majestic.

Hearing this, Wang Xianzhi walked out from behind the rockery in a few steps and pulled Fang Xiwen's sleeve, "Uncle, it was Master Fang who wanted to visit, but I stopped him because I was afraid of disturbing you."

"Well," Wang Zhongheng did not comment, with a faint smile on his face, "This is not the first time that Young Master Fang and I have met. Thanks to you for helping my son outside the city. You are a very righteous and courageous person. Are you used to living in the mansion?"

"Thank you for your praise, senior. Everything is fine. You are worthy of being the Wang family." Fang Xiwen bowed.

He had a good impression of the Governor of Dingjun, who did not speak in an official tone. Calling them out was also meant as a reminder so as not to make the two of them too rude.
