If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 411 Enlightenment
Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes and asked with a half-smile, "What are your considerations?"
The old monk looked at him, his eyes flashing with a mixture of pity and compassion, "At that time, Fairy Yu wanted to take me away, and also wanted to send me away from Yingxiang Mansion.
I stopped her and asked her two questions.
The first question is, if I am cursed by the Seven Arrows Book, the first left-handed secret of the ancient world, can you save me by just taking me away from Zishan Villa?"
Zhao Zhen seemed to be thinking, "Could she be able to decipher my Seven Arrows Book?"
Seeing that he admitted it directly, the old monk did not shout excitedly, but only sighed deeply, his voice still calm, and said: "Didn't Fairy Yu set fire to the reed shed and the altar?
The solution to crack it is in the Seven Arrows Book itself, and also in the scarecrow. If you get one of them, you can crack it."
Zhao Zhen nodded and sighed, "Yu Fengxian is born with wisdom, she is indeed not simple!
She only watched for a while and immediately found the only two flaws in the Seven Arrows Book."
The old monk lowered his eyes and said, "Fairy Yu can help me decipher the Seven Arrows Book, so I don't have to worry about being cursed by it.
I asked again: What if I leave and Mr. Zhao becomes suspicious of you?
She said she is not afraid of you.
She had overheard your conversation earlier and knew that you were going to consider the greater good and tolerate her rudeness.
If you continue to consider the overall situation and silently bear this loss, everything will be fine.
If you don't mess with her, she won't mess with you.
But if you dare to attack her, she will kill you with her sword.
Although I am dull, I have lived long enough to know how to read people's expressions.
At that time, she was full of confidence and didn't seem reluctant at all, so I believed her. "
Zhao Zhen looked at him coldly and said calmly, "Since you believe it, why don't you go with her?"
The old monk shook his head and said with emotion: "I said it. Before meeting Mr. Zhao again, I also believed in Mr. Zhao and believed that you are a good person.
If I leave without saying goodbye, Mr. Zhao won't even have the chance to prove himself, which is unfair to Mr. Zhao.
I must meet Mr. Zhao in person and have a frank conversation with him."
Zhao Zhen smiled, "You did say that you only care about the result, not the way to survive. What is the result now?"
The old monk was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Although Mr. Zhao has been denying it, I know how to read people's expressions. From your expression, I can tell that—"
"Puchi~~~" a bright sword light flashed.
The old monk's great head rolled down from his neck and fell to the ground, bouncing a few times with "bangs".
"Judging from your expression, you are lying. If you really want to harm me~~ Mr. Zhao, put down your butcher knife and turn back!"
The old monk whose head had fallen off still said his last words calmly.
He even gave Zhao Zhen some advice, and then died with his eyes wide open.
His eyes were not closed, but his expression was not ferocious at all, and there was no resentment or anger frozen on his face.
But the calmer he was, the weirder he seemed.
Zhao Zhen kicked the old monk, and the old monk's head was like a ball, it drew an arc and fell into the pond outside.
"What a pedantic fool!"
Zhao Zhen spat at the corpse with blood spurting from its neck, then turned around and walked away.
Li Rongji did not stay in Zishan Beppu overnight.
After a secret conversation with Zhao Zhen and Xiang Tianshi, he took a carriage back to Yonghe Palace in Yingxiang Prefecture.
He is the crown prince, the heir to the throne, not an idle monk.
I have to work the next day!
The Li family arranged for him to be in charge of Yingxiang Mansion, not to keep him away from the center of power, but to protect him.
The Li family certainly understands the principle of not putting all eggs in one basket.
They themselves knew that the Bagua Tianshi Talisman was lost.
They also knew that the "Eight Immortals of the West" were spreading the news that the Li family had lost the Bagua Tianshi Talisman.
They knew that the Bagua Tianshi Talisman was lost and some powerful demons were ready to make a move.
The seven demon fairies from the Black Water River in Hengyang Valley invaded Luodu. The Li family did not know the exact news, but they had a premonition of the attack by the big demons and were prepared.
Formal establishment of the "Demon Suppression Division" is just one of the preparations.
Quietly evacuating the core members of the Li family from Luodu and dispersing them to various places was also a precautionary measure to prevent the main branch of the Li family from suffering a catastrophic disaster in case Luodu fell.
If Lee Young-gi was not the crown prince, he would definitely be very low-key.
Even ordinary people in Yingxiang Prefecture were unaware of his arrival.
He is the prince, he can't hide, and he shouldn't hide.
Almost all of the prince's officials moved to Yonghe Palace, which was like the prince's new residence.
Therefore, Lee Young-gi cannot leave Yongha Palace for a long time, just as the King of Shu will not leave his palace.
"What? The reed shed and altar for the ritual were all burned down? Zhao Zhen and He Xuan also disappeared?"
Also because Lee Young-gi was not in Beppu, he was unable to know what happened in Beppu at the first time.
Xiang Tianshi said: "Although Zhao Zhen and He Xuan disappeared, they did not leave without saying goodbye.
They plan to find a secret place to use the Seven Arrows Book on Yu Fengxian."
Li Rongji said excitedly: "Are they crazy? We talked about it last night. Yu Fengxian is very useful and can help us block the invading monster.
No matter how rude she is, we have to consider the overall situation. Why do they suddenly want to kill her?"
Master Xiang Tian took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over, saying, "Yu Fengxian is courting death. Not only did she provoke Zhao Zhen and destroy his plan to perform magic, she also threatened that if he dared to attack her, she would chop him with a sword.
Zhao Zhen was not a magnanimous person, and the overall situation of Western Shu had little to do with him.
Last night when Yu Fengxian used his secret technique to kill Zen Master Jianglong, I saw murderous intent in his eyes.
Now Yu Fengxian is directly threatening his life, humiliating him in every way, and even calling for him to be beaten and killed. It would be strange if he could endure it."
Seeing Li Rongji unfold the letter, he slowed down his tone and said, "However, Zhao Zhen is not completely disregarding the overall situation.
Before he left, he not only left this letter, but also asked Manager Song to pass it to me.
He also summoned the "Demon-soothing Guests" of Ziweiju and announced publicly that he would change the target of the demonstration of the Seven Arrows Book to Yu Fengxian.
This is not only the prince's explanation to the guests, but also a proof to everyone, all the evil spirits eyeing Yingxiang Mansion, that the Seven Arrows Book is powerful - even Yu Fengxian, who was born a saint and has a tough life, can't stop it. "
Li Rongji crumpled the letter into a ball, his face uncertain, and asked, "If Yu Fengxian is really killed, what will be the impact?"
I asked the Heavenly Master: "What kind of influence do you mean?"
Li Rongji said: "All parties. The Emperor of Heaven, the Great Qin, Taiyi Dao, Lord Dongfang Shuo, and all parties that have grievances or favors with Yu Fengxian."
Pointing at the ball of paper in his hand, Xiang Tianshi said, "With this letter, no matter what consequences are caused, it has nothing to do with Your Highness or the royal family of Xishu. Yu Fengxian is arrogant, and Zhao Zhen wants to avenge her. The grudge between the two of them is nothing more than that."
Li Rongji's movement of pinching the paper ball froze, and he quickly unfolded and folded the paper ball that was about to be crumpled, stuffed it into an envelope, and kept it close to his skin.
"Zhao Zhen said in public that I have to give everyone an explanation." Li Rongji looked tangled, "I was still implicated."
Xiang Tianshi said: "It is clearly stated in the letter that Zhao Zhen is acting on his own in the name of considering the overall situation.
Of course, he does mean well, and Your Highness should accept this favor."
After a pause, he continued, "In fact, we don't need to take Yu Fengxian's life or death too seriously.
She is stinking shit and a plague, that's for sure.
She was also born a saint, so killing her would be a disaster, but it would also be right.
But the demon cicada, the Eight Immortals of the West, the River God's Mansion, the evil spirit on the nose of the King of Hell, the Leng family of Yingxiang Mansion, and Hao Ruhai of Tianmen Society... they all don't care.
Your Highness does not need to be so cautious and treat her as a 'saint' who cannot be provoked or violated."
Li Rongji sighed, "How could I be so cautious? It was Uncle Qinghe who told the Li family to make a clear distinction between themselves and Yu Fengxian.
The Li family doesn’t care whether she is dead or alive, but she cannot be associated with the Li family.”
Xiang Tianshi said: "This conflict really has nothing to do with the Li family.
It was a personal conflict between the Great Qin Sima Ling and the Great Qin Shang. "
Li Rongji was silent for a moment, then asked, "What if Yu Fengxian is not dead?"
Tianshi Xiang laughed and said, "Even the Golden Immortal died, why can't she die?
To ensure that nothing unexpected happened, Zhao Zhen even avoided us.
Even we can't find him, who can steal Yu Fengxian's straw figurine?"
Li Rongji asked again: "Does he have Yu Fengxian's clothes?"
Xiang Tianshi shook his head and said: "No need for clothes, Zhao Zhen has Yu Fengxian's birth date and time."
Li Rongji asked in confusion: "How does he know Yu Fengxian's birth date?
I heard Shaoyao say that Yu Fengxian didn’t even know when her birthday was.”
In recent months, not only did Lao Shenxian and the King of Shu celebrate their birthdays, but Shaoyao herself also had a private birthday party.
She also wanted to help Xiaoyu celebrate her 13th birthday, but Xiaoyu was so pitiful that she didn't even know which month she was born.
Shaman has never celebrated his birthday before, and the only way he can remember how old he is is because she is good at counting.
Well, most of the Shaman don't even know how old they are.
"Zhao Zhen has read Yu Fengxian's file."
Xiang Tianshi reminded: "In the cave house of Langshan in Luodu, there are all the documents of Yu Fengxian from birth to the present.
Almost all the contents were collected and compiled by Taoist Qingsong, the imperial envoy of Shangbang.
Among them is Yu Fengxian’s birth date.
What Yu Fengxian herself doesn't know, the ghosts and gods know very well."
"I see." Li Rongji chuckled and said, "Yu Fengxian was destined to have this disaster! She herself didn't know her birthday, but Zhao Zhen, who was holding the Seven Arrows Book, knew it clearly. Isn't this destiny?"
Xiang Tianshi asked: "Yu Fengxian has seen Zhao Zhen use the Seven Arrows Book to plot against the wandering monk.
If she is in a trance and confused, she may come to Yonghe Palace to ask Your Highness for help. Has Your Highness thought about how to deal with her?"
Li Rongji sneered, "Isn't she just talking nonsense? She's not afraid of the Seven Arrows? She even said that if Zhao Zhen dared to curse her, she would pick up the sword and chop him down."
Xiang Tianshi sighed, "She is only twelve or thirteen years old, but she has reached a martial arts realm that ordinary people can hardly reach even after a hundred years of hard training. If it were me, I would be even more arrogant than her.
Look at Leng Aotian from the Leng Mansion.
Back then, he was promoted to the Zhenyuan realm at the age of fifteen, and defeated all the heroes of the same realm in Shudong at the age of twenty. He had the appearance of a human immortal, which was far inferior to the current Yu Fengxian. So he became arrogant and changed his name to "Aotian".
Now Leng Aotian keeps a low profile and is patient, and can swallow his anger when his grandson is killed, because after he became "Aotian", he suffered several big losses and learned his lessons.
Now it depends on whether Your Highness is willing to give Yu Fengxian a chance to learn from her mistakes."
Li Rongji shook his head and said, "I really don't know where Zhao Zhen is hiding."
"If Your Highness doesn't know, you can ask the ghosts and gods." He said to the Heavenly Master.
Li Rongji hesitated for a moment, but still refused: "The Li family cannot have anything to do with her."
He said to the Heavenly Master: "I am only doing her a small favor and letting her protect her from the evil spirits."
Li Rongji said quietly, "If I show her some favor, I will definitely offend Zhao Zhen and the guest officials of Ziweiju. Well, let's see how she behaves first."
After burning down the reed shed and altar where Zhao Zhen performed the ritual, Xiao Yu gradually calmed down from the excitement of encountering the super boss - she had already calmed down before, but there were many random and delusional thoughts in her mind, and now even those random thoughts were cleared.
Then she immediately realized one thing: Zhao Zhen was not dead, and Jiang Taigong's version of the Seven Arrows Book was still in his hands. The old monk who was suspected to be Lu Ya Taoist did not complete his original purpose.
If the old monk was really Lu Ya Daojun, why did he pretend to be deceived by Zhao Zhen and become the target of a test? What was his purpose?
When Liu Tianjun learned that the "Five Thunder Method" had been leaked, he immediately killed the old farmer from Minshan who had turned into a ghost, and sent the Five Thunder Boy to deal with her.
The old monk was definitely not playing house with Zhao Zhen.
"The old monk did not punish the 'thief of the law' openly and squarely like Liu Tianjun did.
He most likely intended to use the spell to backfire and kill Zhao Zhen, or even affect the people watching the performance nearby.
Hiss, the old monk is a cruel, petty and treacherous bastard!
In order to trick someone, he, a big boss, was willing to transform himself into a mortal and spend several days with a bunch of low-class people.
This patience, this thought, how vicious~~
But he didn't get what he wanted, I interrupted his plan.
Could he just let Zhao Zhen go and allow the book of seven arrows to circulate outside?
Why doesn't the old monk solve the problem from the root? Jiang Taigong is fine, even that Song Tianshi can copy the Seven Arrows Book according to the law."
Xiaoyu thought about it for a while but still couldn't figure it out, but she was sure that the old monk would not give up.
Everyone thinks that although the old monk looks kind on the outside, he is actually a vicious and cruel person in his heart.
How could the sinister old bastard let Zhao Zhen go?
Since he won't let Zhao Zhen go, how is he going to punish Zhao Zhen?
Xiaoyu hid in Zishan Beppu and waited for a whole morning, but did not find anything unusual.
She went back to have breakfast, took a shower, and rested for two hours before going to Zishan Beppu in the afternoon.
In such a huge mansion, there is actually one person living there.
There were servants and maids, but the master and the guests were nowhere to be seen.
"Zhao Zhen ran away? Why did he run? Damn! That guy is probably going to use the Seven Arrows Book on me!
Damn it, that sinister bald thief treated me as a knife.
The one who killed Zhao Zhen must be me, Yu Fengxian! " Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.
