Girl, let me check it out.

"It turns out I forgot... That's good."

Fang Weihan smiled nonchalantly.

"I thought it was because Xiaojin fainted from exhaustion last time and didn't have time to say something. I even specially ordered a lot of ginseng from Liaodong for you..."

"Fortunately it's not, hahaha."

The smile on Xiao Jin's face stiffened.

This Brother Fang is really... making people want to bite him...

Fang Weihan patted her from behind and said angrily:

"Stop staring at me like a rabbit."

"You are the rabbit!"

Xiao Jin was angry.

She stood up on her tiptoes and bit his neck in one bite.

"Hey, hey, I'm going to see your second uncle, so don't get your saliva on my clothes!"

Fang Weihan hurriedly pulled her off his body.

"Humph!"

Xiao Jin snorted lightly.

"So what's going on between you and that Yu Chen from Linyuan Pavilion?"

Although she loosened her mouth, her big watery eyes were always staring at Fang Weihan, as if she was trying to discern whether he was lying.

Damn, are you still thinking about this?

Facing Xiao Jin's suspicious gaze, Fang Weihan felt a little numb.

That's not right. There is nothing wrong between me and my senior sister. I feel so guilty.

"We reached some kind of agreement. In exchange for some price, she was responsible for imparting knowledge to me and standing on my side on behalf of Linyuan Pavilion."

Fang Weihan said without changing his expression.

What he said above is true...but very one-sided.

Fang Weihan was mentally affected by being read by his mind, and his words gradually became more and more impeccable.

"Price? What price? Isn't it to let you enter the Linyuan Pavilion?"

Xiao Jin asked with a sweet smile, but his tone was inexplicably cold.

Fang Weihan: "..."

"Where are you thinking? It's not like that at all... Don't pay attention to the children."

He knocked Xiao Jin on the head, left a few words, turned around and left.

You are the child! You say this when you have the ability to bite me!

The girl held her head and stamped her foot fiercely on the spot.

"Do you need me to meet your second uncle with you?"

Xiao Jin shouted at his back.

"No, it's a piece of cake."

Fang Weihan waved his hand and disappeared around the corner.

"Humph...it's a small thing...I don't think so."

Xiao Jin murmured quietly.

"You still said that I am a child... This matter is probably not that small..."

As long as the girl wants to know this matter, then there are definitely a hundred ways she can know it.

But since Fang Weihan said this, he didn't want her to know.

Naturally, this lady will not ask.

The girl thought quite proudly.

Besides, Linyuan Pavilion is a group of heartless people, and it is impossible to have anything to do with their brother Fang.

After all, this is the consensus of the people of the Great Zhou, and it is also the impression left on the world by Linyuan's thousand-year heritage.

"Miss, Miss! Do you need me to eavesdrop? Xiaozhu is really good at eavesdropping!"

Xiaozhu jumped out and walked to Xiao Jin's side furtively and asked.

This damn girl!

Xiao Jin felt that his temples seemed to bulge slightly.

"What are you listening to! Don't listen!"

Xiao Jin pinched Xiaozhu's face and said angrily.

"Do I have that strong desire to control? Do you think I am Xie Linwan?"

"No, Xiaozui..."

Xiaozhu said vaguely.

"Then you're not allowed to go!"

Xiao Jin looked at his maid's face and suddenly thought of something.

Oh, by the way, this damn girl seemed to have seen me faint last time.

The girl blushed with embarrassment and gritted her teeth.

"Xiaozhu, come into the house with me and let's play a game."

Xiao Jin chuckled.

"Wha...what game?"

Xiaozhu pulled at the door panel anxiously.

"The game the young lady plays with the little maid!"

Xiao Jin forcefully pulled Xiaozhu into the door and closed the door with a clang.

The faint sound of the little maid crying and howling could be heard from inside the door.

……

……

Fang Weihan naturally didn't know what happened to Xiao Jin after he left.

He had just finished saluting Xiao Fuwei and enjoyed the treatment of the Marquis of Pingjiang personally making tea.

The location they are currently in is the living room of the Xiao family's residence in Lanling. The last time he came here, he was discussing the Song Family Gang with Xiao Ji.

Now Xiao Fuwei is sitting where Xiao Ji sat last time. Next to him are several armors of Xuan Zhong Guards, and a standard Yan Ling knife is placed on the table.

The sword and armor, combined with the overall black atmosphere of Lanling Xiao's mansion, gave it a somewhat chilling look.

"Your Majesty, I wonder where Brother Xiao has gone? I haven't seen him in the past few days."

Fang Weihan didn't talk about business right away, but started with casual chat.

After all, his relationship with the Lanling Xiao family is not the same as before, so he cannot continue to maintain a business-like attitude.

"He wanted to go to Xuan Zhongwei to experience the basic level for a few days, so I arranged an errand for him."

Xiao Fuwei answered very readily.

"He should be suppressing bandits at Niulong Mountain now. He will come back in a few days when Qinghuo Academy will be consecrated."

Conferment at Qinghuo Academy?

Fang Weihan was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

As far as he knew, the investiture ceremony of Qinghuo Academy was a very important ceremony. After all, it is a matter of selecting talents for the country. When the time comes, the emperor will appear and make some grand remarks.

This will also facilitate the maintenance of the stability and sanctity of Qinghuo Academy.

Now that the emperor is gone, all the white robes of Tianque that represent the emperor's will will naturally appear.

The "Emperor Master" Shi Dangliu, who has reached the sixth level of the Five Elements, has returned to the Yuan Realm, the "Tripod Sword" Luo Tiangang has returned to the Yuan Realm, and the "Taoist Doctor" Zhang Rucheng has returned to the Light Realm, the sixth level of Tiangong.

And the person in front of me.

Xiao Fuwei, the "Xuanjia" who reached the ancestral realm in the sixth rank of Mingwu.

The four white robes of Tianque represent the highest power in the world in name, and almost no one can make them use their full strength.

And their titles roughly reflect some of their characteristics.

For example, Xuan Jia is a pun, which not only points out Xiao Fuwei's identity as the commander of the Xuan Heavy Guards, but also implies that Xiao Fuwei and others are extremely capable of defense.

As the emperor's personal guard, would he know some inside information?

"Marquis, do you know about my appointment?"

Fang Weihan cupped his hands and asked seriously.

Xiao Fuwei gave him a meaningful look and shook his head in amusement.

"Weihan, you are from the Fang family, but I am not. I don't even know your appointment, so how can I know?"

This sentence contains a lot of information.

Fang Weihan carefully analyzed what Xiao Fuwei just said in his mind.

First of all, he said "Weihan", which represents Xiao Fuwei's position.

He was not speaking from the position of the commander of the Xuanzhong Guards to the feudal king, but from a position where the relationship was closer.

For example, like the father-in-law versus the son-in-law?

Then he emphasized that he was not a member of the Fang family.

This sentence can be translated into many meanings. In Fang Weihan's opinion, the most likely one is undoubtedly that the relationship between Xiao Fuwei and the emperor is not as close as he imagined.

In other words, in Xiao Fuwei's opinion, Fang Zun should trust him more than him.

If you say so...

Finally, he was answering his own question.

It seemed that Xiao Fuwei really didn't know.

After Fang Weihan pondered for a moment, he replied:

"That's strange. The Holy One didn't tell me in advance. The Holy One may have his own arrangements, and we can't speculate at will."

His words also have several meanings.

I asked Xiao Fuwei a question first, and then I had to reveal information of equal value to him.

This is the default rule in social interaction, and Fang Weihan naturally understands this.

So he first said, "The Holy Emperor didn't say anything to me," which meant that the relationship between the Emperor and me was not as good as you imagined.

After laying the logical foundation for this sentence, Fang Weihan went on to say, "Fang Zun has his own meaning, and we cannot speculate arbitrarily."

This sentence seems to express Fang Weihan's respect for the emperor, but in fact it puts himself and Xiao Fuwei from the same perspective to consider the problem. The deeper meaning is:

My relationship with the Lanling Xiao family is even closer. You and I are grasshoppers in the same boat.

Obviously, as soon as these two sentences came out, Fang Weihan could clearly feel that Xiao Fuwei's expression became much friendlier.

"The people of Changming have recently been praising His Highness's civil and military skills and daring loyalty. In my opinion..."

Xiao Fuwei patted his shoulder and smiled with some relief.

"One more thing: quick thinking."

If Xiao Ji could be half as good as Fang Weihan in all aspects, Xiao Fuwei would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.

It's a pity that Xiao Ji is upright, but he doesn't know how to be flexible.

My niece is good in all aspects, but her energy is not at all in this area.
