The "old man" waved his hand casually.

"Your aunt asked me to kill you."

Aunt?

Fan County fell into a pupil earthquake.

Which aunt?

Liu Ruyu! ?

That's impossible... Based on the letters Liu Ruyu sent home every year, Fan Xian could tell from the lines that Liu Ruyu didn't like him, but she wouldn't kill him.

Was this person lying? Or was it that he failed to see Liu Ruyu's true face?

Fan Xian felt a chill down his spine instantly, as if he was involved in something strange and bizarre.

After making a move, Fan Xian paid close attention to the "old man's" every move, as if trying to see what the man in front of him was thinking.

"Senior, my aunt has sent me letters every year, and we have a very close relationship. Does your words seem to be an attempt to sow discord?"

The "old man" seemed to be smiling happily, not caring about Fan Xian's actions and suspicions at all.

It seemed as if he had taken a closer look at Fanxian's face.

"Like, very similar."

A meal in Fan County.

"Like who?"

"Your mother."

Fan Xian's mind was about to erupt in a storm, and he racked his brains to consider the deeper meaning of the other party's words.

The "old man" completely ignored Fan Xian's contemplation and seemed to express his heartfelt emotion.

"You are just like your mother, too stupid and too naive."

Fan Xian frowned and was about to refute.

"It's clearly from the last era, how could it be so unwise?"

boom! ! !

At this moment, at this moment.

Fan Xian stared at the opposite side with his scalp almost numbing.

How is this possible!? How is this possible!?

"Senior, what do you mean by this?"

The "old man" sighed and continued to make his move.

"I suddenly don't want to kill you anymore."

The "old man's" thoughts are so arbitrary that they are impossible to guess or understand.

"Since you are as foolish as your mother, you will inherit the bet."

Fan Xian became increasingly nervous, and even though he knew his life was temporarily safe, he had no intention of relaxing.

The "old man's" words were truly shocking.

The "old man" seemed to selectively turn a blind eye to the question that Fan County wanted to know the most. After a long silence, Fan County began to test it.

"Senior, I know nothing about the previous generation's affairs. Could you please enlighten me?"

"What do you want to know?"

"A bet."

The "old man" smiled, and his smile was full of nostalgia.

"I once asked your mother if she would pray to the gods and Buddhas. She said there were no gods or Buddhas in the world, and that they were just illusions created by us.

I then asked, "Do you have any reverence for gods and Buddhas?" She said that she only respects people in her life. What a pity..."

The "old man" shook his head and sighed, as if feeling pity for the woman's ignorance.

"In her final moments, she still couldn't stick to her original intention. She still prayed to the gods..."

Fan Xian's heart has been beating wildly since the words "gods and Buddhas" came out.

Gods and Buddhas!?

Those two plain words made Fan Xian's heart feel as if it was being tightly gripped.

Even though they are descendants of materialism, the Chinese people have always maintained a skeptical attitude.

Neither completely deny nor completely admit.

Fan Xian's mind was in a mess, and he was obviously shocked by this incredible news and his thinking stopped suddenly.

The words "gods and Buddhas" contain meanings that are truly terrifying.

Moreover, judging by the implication in this person's words, it seems that he is sympathizing with his mother, but in fact, he is harboring a creepy sense of bad taste and malice.

The "old man" made his last move, completely deciding the outcome, and the old voice seemed to become ethereal.

"Now, I will ask you again..."

"Do you respect gods and Buddhas?"

Hazy and blurry.

As these words came out, the surrounding environment became covered in white, and the "old man" gradually disappeared without anyone noticing, leaving Fan Xian sitting alone, and then he fell into a feeling of weightlessness and falling for a moment.

Fan Xian suddenly stood up, breathing rapidly and sweating profusely. His pale face showed fear, and his hands were still grabbing at the moment he woke up.

After looking around hurriedly, I realized that I seemed to be having a nightmare?

Nightmare?

Is it really a nightmare?

Looking at the bright light outside the house, it was already early morning. Fan Xian's eyes flickered, and he felt a sense of empathy for such a real dream.

Do you fear gods and Buddhas?

The deafening question seemed to still linger in his ears, and the strange and weird feeling made Fan Xian feel an inexplicable panic.

He unconsciously looked at the table in the dormitory, took a closer look, and took two steps back with a chill in his heart.

Was that really a dream...

On the chessboard, the familiar chess game was still laid out, with the black and white pieces fighting endlessly. The crooked black piece was obviously the work of someone in a panic.

Fan Xian couldn't help but shudder, regained his consciousness, and smiled at himself.

It seems like I'm involved in some major incident...

Moreover, he thought that with the memories of his previous life, he could live freely in this world. As a result, he was taught a lesson by Liu Ruyu before he even left the Novice Village.

What a Liu Ruyu! What a scheming woman!

What a... woman's heart is the most vicious.

Fan Xian was obviously frightened, and even the three words "Liu Ruyu" became a psychological shadow in his mind.

Which big boss would send such a weird guy to the Novice Village to guard the fountain?

Fan Xian was not very willing to believe that gods and Buddhas walked the earth, but the extremely bizarre experience made him somewhat suspicious.

Do gods and Buddhas really exist?

Or maybe, the old man just used some underworld tricks that he couldn't understand?

After recovering from his shock, Fan Xian made many guesses, but unfortunately he was unable to verify them with the old man.

Even after his grandmother could no longer hold back the power of the Red Knight and wanted to take Fan Xian to Kyoto, Fan Xian still couldn't figure out the cause and effect of that experience.

Sitting in the carriage, Fan Xian's heart was filled with mist.

The three words "Liu Ruyu" made him feel as if he was suffocating.

Too scheming, too deep-minded.

I hadn't even left the Novice Village and I had already used such a deadly move. If that old man hadn't regretted it before his death, I'm afraid the grass on my grave would be twice as high now!

What would happen if this really happened in Fan Mansion in Kyoto?

After discussing this matter with Uncle Wu Zhu, Uncle Wu Zhu looked confused. Well, this guy has good fighting skills, but he is inexplicably unreliable.

Most importantly, the old man’s words “from the last century” made Fan Xian very uneasy.

Is this matter known only to the old man, or do many people know about it?

With a sour face, Fan Xian looked at Teng Zijing with disgust, who had sneaked into his guards' group and was eating and drinking for free.

If I didn't think he was a villain, I wouldn't have accompanied him in such a deception.

That's right, he didn't kill Teng Zijing as rumored in Kyoto. Instead, they were in cahoots with each other, they were in love with each other, and they were passionate about each other... cough.

Kyoto is too scary, and Fan Xian feels that he still needs a little help.

In his eyes, Kyoto is unfathomable.

If Liu Ruyu is like this, other people can't be like idiots, right?

"Liu Ruyu? Why are you asking about her? Isn't she your aunt? What's wrong? Is there something wrong with her?"

On the way, just like in the original novel, he met his teacher Fei Jie by chance. Fan Xian was ecstatic and found Fei Jie to complain.

Fei Jieren was dumbfounded.

Can a mere Liu Ruyu make you so afraid?

Then why are you going to Kyoto?

Wouldn’t it be better to go back to Danzhou and raise him?

Do you have to come to Kyoto to die?

Fan Xian's heart sank, thinking that Liu Ruyu was indeed Liu Ruyu, and even the teacher didn't know her true identity.

That's right, since he was deceived through letters, it proves that Liu Ruyu's personality in Kyoto is probably quite well managed.

Fei Jie looked at Fan Xian, who was mumbling to himself and might be hiding a lot of things, and he became a little hesitant.

"Are you really worried about Liu Ruyu?"

"……Um."

"Okay, then the teacher will take the time to check it for you."

Since County Fan was unwilling to discuss why he was so afraid of Liu Ruyu, Fei Jie could only help his "own son" from the side.

He still counts on Fan County to provide for his retirement...

In Kyoto, the eldest princess's bedroom in the imperial palace is luxurious and magnificent.

Luxurious and rare items can be seen everywhere, and highly powerful guards are not uncommon. The eldest princess even has a ninth-rank master as her maid.

The prince came to pay his respects to the eldest princess as usual.

Harmony and admiration.

It was as if he had never known the eldest princess's true identity and he continued to respect her as always.

In front of the prince was kneeling a graceful and elegant lady.

The eldest princess——Li Yunrui.

A woman who has the demeanor of a noble lady in her bones, a peerless beauty whose beauty is enough to make men dizzy.
