Girl, let me check it out.

Without triggering the effect of knowing things through investigation, he has already pushed his cultivation to the absolute peak of the third level of Mingwu, which is approximately the 3.99th level.

He only needed that one final step to enter the fourth level, and his cultivation journey would be smooth sailing from then on.

But it was this very point that made Fang Weihan stuck in between, feeling like he was in ecstasy and extremely uncomfortable.

He always felt that he was lacking something.

This feeling is like a midsummer afternoon, you are sitting in a hot room, sweating profusely, the cicadas are chirping outside the window, and the sound of others flipping pages is in your ears.

You also have a ballpoint pen that dispenses intermittently and can write, but you have to trace it several times.

Fang Weihan felt that if he continued practicing like this, he would go insane.

Damn it, I don’t believe it.

If I keep practicing like this, how is it possible that I can't break through to the fourth level?

Fang Weihan thought to himself angrily.

That day, he had finished lunch in the palace and was just about to go to the academy to continue his training.

Ning Bai hurried over.

"Your Highness, Miss Ling Wan has something to ask you."

Ning Bai said.

"She asked you to go to the old place to meet her, and specifically told you not to be too conspicuous and to change your clothes before going."

Fang Weihan, who had just left the house, asked: "?"

Why does Wanwan want to see me again?

Didn’t she say that we should try to reduce the number of meetings in the future?

Are you missing me again?

You’re an old married couple... why are you still so clingy?

Fang Weihan was thinking this when he heard Ning Bai add:

"She told Your Highness to come as soon as possible today because there is something very important going on."

Fang Weihan, who had been in a daze due to his practice, suddenly woke up.

Since Xie Lingwan said so, I'm afraid something really bad has happened.

This was the first time she had spoken in such terms.

Fang Weihan didn't dare to delay and hurried to the teahouse they had visited last time.

He changed into a set of light and low-key clothes, and deliberately took a few more detours, using the Divine Light Breath-Concealing Technique at full speed, for fear of leaking even the slightest bit of his breath.

Fang Weihan met Xie Lingwan again in the same room on the third floor as last time.

Before he could speak, he heard Xie Lingwan say:

"Something serious has happened."

The girl's expression was very solemn, her brows were furrowed, as if she had encountered some incomprehensible problem.

What's going on? What happened? Wanwan looked like this...

Fang Weihan's heart instantly rose to his throat.

Chapter 169 Maybe Tomorrow Will Be Better?

Xie Lingwan gestured for him to sit facing her and pushed a piece of paper in her hand across the table.

Fang Weihan took the paper and glanced at it. There were more than a dozen lines of densely written words in elegant small characters on it.

The handwriting has not yet completely dried, and the ink on it reflects bright light under the light.

"A few days ago, I used the iron law to control a steward of the Shangyuan Wang family. This is the result of my mental questioning of him this morning."

"Is this the person you were talking about who used the Nested Mind Protocol?"

Fang Weihan reacted instantly.

"It doesn't matter what he said."

The girl paused and said impatiently.

When Fang Weihan saw her reaction, he immediately understood.

It’s just as I guessed.

So this is the reason why Wanwan signed such a risky and ironclad rule...

His heart warmed and he couldn't help but smile, then he looked down.

But after seeing this, the smile on Fang Weihan's face completely disappeared.

He read it line by line, his brows gradually furrowed.

“Are these things…credible?”

After reading it, Fang Weihan was silent for a moment, then asked with a serious expression.

If these things were true, then Fang Weihan would know why Xie Lingwan had that expression just now.

"The credibility is very high."

The girl said with great certainty.

"Under normal circumstances, there is no way to circumvent the ironclad law. Especially when there is an embedded explanation, it is almost impossible to circumvent it at the causal level."

“So this thing should be true.”

"Tomorrow, they will take action."

Xie Lingwan said coldly.

"But why... doesn't this make sense?"

Fang Weihan found it extremely unbelievable.

"Is the Wang family of Shangyuan crazy? Why did they choose this critical moment to take action? Don't they know that the Xiao family of Lanling is on my side now?"

"I don't know what's going on. Logically speaking, if their plan has been approved by Wang Tun, then this matter as a whole seems quite strange."

Xie Lingwan said.

"This is inconsistent with Wang Tun's usual calm and cautious style of doing things."

"But none of this matters. We can now just assume that Wang Tun is crazy and agreed to this plan for no apparent reason."

The girl forced the subject back.

"What we need to do now is to think about how we should respond."

Fang Weihan thought about it for a moment.

He found that Uehara Wang's plan was indeed a bit insidious, but if it was really implemented according to this plan, it would not be considered a sharp conflict.

After all, he didn't lose anything on the surface. At most, he lost the favor of a few courtesans and the reputation he had worked so hard to build.

Or to put it another way, as long as you give in a little or are shameless enough, this matter will have almost no impact on you.

"Wanwan, you don't have to be so anxious. Logically speaking, as long as I don't care about this matter and pretend I didn't see it, it won't have any major impact on me."

"Let's continue playing the music and dancing. What's the matter? Look how anxious you are..."

Fang Weihan laughed and tried to liven up the atmosphere.

He laughed, but Xie Lingwan didn't.

The girl's gaze was still firmly fixed on him, becoming somewhat cold.

Fang Weihan laughed until he gradually fell silent.

"First of all, I wasn't in a hurry."

Xie Lingwan said calmly with a hint of indifference.

"Secondly, do you believe what you said?"

"Hmm? My good husband?"

The girl sneered.

"If you can keep silent about this matter, you are not my husband."

"But you can become a very good member of the Chenjun Xie clan. I suggest you change your surname to mine and call yourself Xie Weihan from now on."

Fang Weihan: "..."

Wanwan is so scary today.

"No... Wanwan, what you said... Why can't I just stand by and watch?"

Fang Weihan retorted.

"If this matter really involves our core interests, and if I choose to confront it head-on rather than swallow my anger, there will really be irreversible losses, then of course I will choose to play the grandson."

"Your husband is not a fool."

The girl was not polite at all.

"Stop doing this!"

"At Shaxuyi, if you weren't a fool, you wouldn't have risked your life to do such a thing!"

"Even if you're not a fool, you have to be one if I say you are!"

Xie Lingwan said coldly.

Fang Weihan: "..."

He didn't dare to say anything now.

Today, Wanwan was like she had eaten a powder keg and gunpowder, and the resentment in her words could no longer be concealed.

Fang Weihan shrank his neck and decided to go along with her.

"Then according to my dear lady's opinion...what should I do?"

he asked with a smile.

"Pretend you didn't see anything?"

"of course not!"

To Fang Weihan's surprise, Xie Lingwan directly expressed her negative opinion.

Fang Weihan: "?"

What do you mean?

He looked at Xie Lingwan with confusion.

"This time we are not only going to fight back, we are going to fight back hard."

The girl said coldly.

"The Uehara Wang family has repeatedly violated the rules of the game. So why should we bear the consequences of their violation of the rules?"

"The aristocratic families and the royal family have co-governed for a thousand years, and no one wants to disrupt the existing situation. At least the current Great Zhou can barely be called a country of peace and prosperity."

"They were the ones who broke the contract first. So there's no need for us to show weakness. Blindly tolerating them will only make them more greedy."

"Today we cede five cities, tomorrow we cede ten cities. This will never end."

She analysed her reasons in a clear and logical manner.

Fang Weihan also listened carefully.

He felt that what Xie Lingwan said was right.

but……

"No... after all you've been talking about this for, aren't your thoughts still the same as mine?"

Fang Weihan said with a confused look on his face.

The girl nodded innocently.
