The Great Hero's Fantasy Park Plan

"Of course we'll go to Dayan Town for a few days!"

"Eh?"

……

"...Yang Xiying, you said that what we need to do in the future is to infiltrate the imperial court, right? What does Yan Yushu have to do with this?"

Back at Suixin Island's Kuaiyi Village, Reimu Hakurei couldn't help but ask Yang Xiying about it. When she heard that not keeping secrets could cost her her head, she realized something.

Going against the imperial court would indeed be a sure way to lose one's head in the eyes of ordinary people, but what does this have to do with Yan Yushu?

Is it identity?

“Yan Yushu’s real name is Dugu Ling, and he is the biological son of Emperor Zhu Yuanhuang,” Yang Xiying replied directly.

"Wow, bro, you really are a womanizer!" Marisa Kirisame exclaimed in surprise when she heard Yang Xiying mention Yan Yushu's identity.

"Heh heh, so you're trying to become the emperor's son-in-law by getting close to his own flesh and blood? That's certainly a good strategy for infiltrating the court."

Upon hearing Yang Xiying's words, the girls watching immediately realized something, and Ibuki Suika even spoke up with a smile.

“I already said that I was going to manipulate Zhu Yuanhuang in the dark,” Yang Xiying said speechlessly. “Besides, Yan Yushu is that guy’s own flesh and blood.”

"But she was not favored. Her mother was Dugu Mei, a Xianbei princess who was known for her martial arts skills and beauty."

"Zhu Yuanhuang was originally a small warlord who controlled a region. It was only after he made Gu Mei his concubine and conquered the Xianbei cavalry that he had the foundation to conquer the world."

"But as the army marched south, in order to secure the Han dynasty's rule, the Xianbei people who had initially supported him were gradually alienated."

"After Dugu Mei died, the Xianbei people, in despair, migrated back to the grasslands, and Yan Yushu, born to Dugu Mei, became a thorn in Zhu Yuanhuang's side."

“If Yan Yushu dares to leave the Fuxian Academy, the Emperor will definitely send someone…” As she spoke, Yang Xiying made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Hearing you say that, the old emperor is becoming more and more like a scoundrel," everyone frowned upon hearing Yang Xiying's words.

“That sister is so pitiful,” Zhuansun Ning, a kind-hearted woman, said with some sadness, after all, both she and her mother were disliked and estranged by their father.

—In the end, it will come down to killing them.

"That's just how emperors are, they're always ruthless for some reason, but it's amazing that that guy managed to keep Yan Yushu alive until now—"

“That’s quite merciful,” Remilia replied with a smirk, while Yang Xiying responded at this moment, “It’s not exactly merciful.”

"The main reason is that Yan Yushu is protected by Dongfang Chi, the number one expert in the world today, and that this girl won't live much longer, so he can turn a blind eye to her."

"Live...not long?" Zhuansun Ning's expression changed in surprise upon hearing Yang Xiying's addition. "Does that lady seem to be suffering from some kind of illness?"

“Congenital deficiency of the Triple Energizer Meridian of the Hand-Shaoyang,” Yang Xiying gave the answer directly, while Hakurei Reimu looked surprised.

"Does this mean that one cannot even practice internal energy cultivation?" Damaged meridians will affect the cultivation of internal energy, which naturally leads to a shorter lifespan.

After all, internal strength is something that people are born with, but to draw upon one's energy and unleash power like a martial artist requires training.

Normally, internal energy cultivation is simply a process of inhaling and exhaling, which only requires maintaining the body's functions.

People lacking meridians naturally cannot fully function even the most basic function of breathing, and such people will live a very painful life.

"Yes, if it weren't for Dongfang Chi using superior internal energy cultivation techniques and elixirs to keep Yan Yushu alive, she wouldn't have lived past ten years old."

"So Yang got closer to Yan Yushu just to save her life?" Alice asked at this moment.

“Hey, Alice really understands me,” Yang Xiying replied with a smile. “That’s right, I approached her to save her life.”

“But even if you pretend to be a quack doctor to treat him, it will be hard to convince him at first, since this is a serious illness that has not been cured for twenty years.”

"As for why we should help the other side, do we even need a reason? I'm a chivalrous knight-errant, after all."

He didn't try to get close to her to win her over; he was simply trying to save her. It's just that Yan Yushu's identity was too important.

With Dongfang Chi watching over him, the only way to get close to him was to become familiar with him. For this reason, he had gone through the original plot of the academy novel over the past few days.

When he went to the academy, he heard Mi Zhong and Fan Jiantong talking about a legend of a goddess at the academy, which aroused his curiosity and made him decide to go to the academy to find out.

However, the entrance exam is over, and now the only way to get in is through a recommendation from a renowned figure in the martial arts world, such as Ling Zhongyue, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect.

But Yang Xiying didn't need to go through all that trouble, because two renowned figures in the martial arts world were playing Go outside the academy pavilion.

One of them was Dongfang Chi, who eventually got a letter of introduction to enroll in the school in exchange for taking a palm strike from him.

Yang Xiying didn't mind testing his opponent's skills. As a result, he was unharmed after taking a palm strike and thus gained admission.

And so Dongfang Chi and another martial arts master left. After that, he enrolled in the school and got in touch with the legendary goddess Yan Yushu.

"Aren't chivalrous heroes supposed to draw their swords to help those in need? Your claim of knowing so much in advance seems more like you've been plotting this for a long time."

Reimu Hakurei couldn't help but complain, "Since Yan Yushu is such a heavyweight, ordinary heroes can't possibly encounter him."

"Ahem, I do have a purpose, but as I mentioned before, it's about recruiting all kinds of heroes to do something big."

Yang Xiying coughed lightly in response.

"Dongfang Chi is the best in the world! Yan Yushu, although he can't learn internal energy cultivation, has excellent aptitude."

"—Helping them out would be doing them a huge favor."

"I see. It seems I misunderstood you, big brother. I'm sorry," Flandre nodded thoughtfully, then apologized.

"Because I heard from the older sisters, I thought the older brother was getting bored from being stuck with us all the time."

“…Big brother wouldn’t be like that. After all, it’s not boring to be with everyone,” Yang Xiying said with a smirk.

Is this guy, who gets attacked by Sakuya's time-stop attack every now and then, and might even be attacked by Aya's repressed Yakumo Yukari, going crazy?!

"If Fran is bored, how about I take you out to play for the next few days?"

"Okay, let's go together!"

……

"Miss, would you like to go out and have some fun?"

"...You still appear from the most unexpected places as always."

At midnight, Yan Yushu was alone on the balcony of the Fuxian Academy, lost in thought. The silence was soon broken.

Yang Xiying suddenly appeared from somewhere else.

“After all, I am an immortal,” Yang Xiying said matter-of-factly, “and now I can even see that you are a little sad.”

"...Then can you, this immortal, find a way to make me happy?" Yan Yushu asked, but it was only subconsciously.

Because the other party always helped me solve problems during this period, I felt that they were capable of doing more for me.

—Although this is going too far.

“Hey, if you don’t tell me your troubles, I can’t really help you solve them,” Yang Xiying replied with a smile.

"...I thought things would be different after I moved out of my home, but it was just wishful thinking. It was just going from one cage to another."

“It’s just that the chain is a bit longer,” Yan Yushu said after a moment of silence, though the other person probably wouldn’t understand.

“You’ll leave after you get what you want from me, right?” She remembered what the man had said earlier.

"All good things must come to an end, but are you saying this because you're reluctant to part with me?" Yang Xiying replied matter-of-factly, then changed the subject.

“…I’m very happy that you’ve come to visit me these past few days,” Yan Yushu said, without directly answering the question from the other person.

"So you simply don't have any friends you can hang out with, and that's a pretty easy problem to solve, isn't it?"

Yang Xiying responded.

"Go out and travel more. If you can't find them here, go further afield. You'll eventually meet like-minded friends."

“…I told you, I can’t leave here by myself,” Yan Yushu said in silence, “and I can’t do it alone.”

“Then I’ll be included. I’ll stay with you until you meet like-minded companions,” Yang Xiying said directly.

"you……?"

"You were just saying you didn't want me to leave, but now you're starting to have a little doubt about me?" Yang Xiying pouted.

"I never said that."

"Since that's the case, I'll be going then. I've already gotten what I needed," Yang Xiying said, turning around directly.

"Wait a minute!" Yan Yushu called out to Yang Xiying, her voice tense. "What... what was that about going out to play earlier?"

“The day before yesterday, I took you flying around and you kept showing interest in the scenery below, so I thought I'd take you to see it,” Yang Xiying stopped and replied.

"And tomorrow I'm also going to visit Dayan Town in Sichuan with my friends, so the two can be combined."

"But you don't need me anymore, so it's time for you to leave."

“I never said that,” Yan Yushu retorted directly, then, as if making up her mind, she said, “...Please take me with you.”

"Since you said you would stay with me until I meet like-minded companions, then take me out for a walk first."

"I will try my best to make like-minded friends through this opportunity."

"Hey, wouldn't it have been better if you had been this frank from the beginning?" Yang Xiying smiled and said, "I'll come pick you up tomorrow."

PS: This is a two-in-one compilation of four thousand words.

NO.163+164 Old Deng, I'm taking your daughter with me!

"Wow, you're up early. You must be so excited about the trip that you can't sleep."

"...No, since you've made all the arrangements, let's set off."

The next morning, Yang Xiying arrived at Yan Yushu's house to pick him up as agreed, but her appearance was still rather sudden.

—But Yan Yushu got used to it.

"...Oh, aren't you going to talk to your guardian at home?" Yang Xiying raised an eyebrow; the person opposite her had offered to take her along.

"As I said, they have no objection to following you, since they know a little about your affairs."

Yan Yushu responded directly that her every move here could be noticed by her guardians, so she would naturally have to ask them before leaving.

The result was that they agreed, because the other side found some relevant information about Yang Xiying, and that the wine from Yishifugui Winery had previously caused a large number of deaths.

But this person and his companions all pulled them back from the brink of death; they seemed to possess the true ability to come back from the dead.

This proves their extremely advanced medical skills; if you connect with them, you won't have to worry about getting sick.

“Is that so? In that case, come with me,” Yang Xiying nodded thoughtfully, then opened a spatial rift.

“Hmm,” Yan Yushu nodded as she looked at the scene that appeared in the crack, and then walked over.

“...that kid.”

After hearing Yang Xiying and Yan Yushu's movements completely disappear from the next room, a man dressed in a luxurious white robe curled his lip.

He is Dongfang Chi, the one who maintains the operation of the Fuxian Academy, the number one scholar in the world today, and also Yan Yushu's guardian.

Looking at the few talismans containing special energy in his hand, he couldn't help but recall the scene of Yang Xiying's conversation with him yesterday.

"Hey, uncle, is there something you need so late?"

"That's what I want to ask you. Why are you looking for my Yushu so late instead of going to sleep?" Dongfang Chi replied, looking at Yang Xiying who had heard his voice.

—You can feel the movement of this guy when he comes to see Yan Yushu.

"Seeing that Miss is quite sad, I can't just leave her alone, so Uncle, do you agree to let me take her out?" Yang Xiying replied and asked.

"...Do you like Yu Shu?"

Dongfang Chi asked the question to the person opposite him, because from the first time he met Yang Xiying, he felt that she had come with a purpose.

After all, the other party was preparing to enroll because they heard the legend of the goddess circulating in the academy, and then they just wanted to test her skills on a whim.

At that moment, he realized something was wrong, because when he pointed at the other side, he was the one who got injured.

At this point, he became curious about what this person was doing at the Leisure Academy. With his skills, there was no need for him to come here to learn martial arts.

The Fuxian Academy wasn't really a place for composing poems, but in the end he still decided to let him enroll.

Because such a person naturally needs to be observed carefully, and he is not worried that this person will do anything bad.

After all, that's too roundabout. If they have the ability to reflect damage back to themselves, then dealing with the Unemployed Academy should be straightforward.

Moreover, the other side really didn't do anything after that; they simply wanted to find out the truth about the legend of the goddess, and then they met Yan Yushu and started hanging out with her.

—For this reason, Dongfang Chi had this question about Yang Xiying.

"I like hanging out with pretty girls."
