Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 123 Goodbye Ku He
"Have you not!"

Fan Xian suddenly realized something and was completely stunned. He said in a lost voice, "Brother, you are already..."

Before Fan Xian could finish, Leng Feibai covered his mouth and said, "Remember, except for my adoptive father and Uncle Wu Zhu, no one else can know about this. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll end up wandering the world alone like Ye Liuyun."

"I see!"

Fan Xian is not a fool. Leng Feibai's promotion to Grandmaster is bound to disrupt the balance of the world. At this time, no force can tolerate him.

Inside the inn, Leng Feibai concentrated with his eyes closed and contacted his clones in Danzhou and Kyoto, asking them to tell him in detail what had happened during this period.

A quarter of an hour later, Leng Feibai breathed a sigh of relief. Everything was normal in Baoyue Tower and Teng Zijing, and no major changes had occurred.

Only one thing caught Leng Feibai's attention.

Emperor Qing ordered Eunuch Hou and Chen Pingping to go to Chen Garden to select a top courtesan to be Leng Feibai's concubine. The two of them... or to be more precise, one person carefully selected a total of six top courtesans who were willing to marry Leng Feibai.

One of these six people turned out to be Sang Wen who escaped from Baoyue Tower. After Emperor Qing knew that Sang Wen had also stayed in Baoyue Tower, he immediately asked Sang Wen about the situation in Baoyue Tower.

Sang Wen followed Chen Pingping's instructions and said that she and her sisters were divided into several teams by a mysterious person under the cover of night and were taken out of Kyoto from different directions in batches. On the way, they were rescued by Chen Pingping who was returning to Chen Garden for rest. She was the only one in the team who stayed in Chen Garden because she had nowhere else to go.

The rest of the people were sent back home by Chen Pingping on a black horse.

After hearing this, Emperor Qing was silent for a while, but did not ask Sang Wen any more questions. He just summoned Chen Pingping into the palace. After the two chatted for a while, he let Chen Pingping leave.

Emperor Qing then issued an edict, announcing that Sang Wen would be given to Leng Feibai as a concubine, and without waiting for Leng Feibai to return, he sent Sang Wen to the Fan Mansion.

“It’s actually Sang Wen!”

Leng Feibai couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Does this count as a love affair with Sister Bai Zhou in another world?"

Early the next morning, the Qing Kingdom's convoy slowly drove out of the Northern Qi capital.

At the city gate, Guo Baokun watched the convoy leave, gritted his teeth, turned around and entered the city, starting his legend as a legendary spy.

On the other side of the city gate, Leng Feibai looked down at the convoy below and couldn't help but sigh.

The next moment, two clones of the ninth rank or above who had escorted Guo Baokun to the capital appeared behind him.

"One of you will stay and continue to protect Guo Baokun, and the other will secretly keep an eye on Fan Xian. If Fan Xian tries to fake his own death with Xie Bian again, notify me immediately."

The two clones nodded, each transformed into a bird and flew away.

Leng Feibai shook his head, sighed, and took advantage of the fact that no one was around to whisper, "After we get back, it'll be time to confront that old loach head-on. How about just forget about his plot and just kill Emperor Qing, Li Chengqian, and Li Chengze. And then have Fan Xian help that brat Li Chengping take the throne?"

As soon as these words fell, Leng Feibai quickly dismissed the idea. At present, Fan Xian had not yet completely taken control of the inner treasury, and it was still unknown whether Li Chengping was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

At least until Fan Xian's wedding is over and he takes control of the inner treasury, Li Yunqian, that old loach, cannot be touched for the time being.

With his mind made up, Leng Feibai rose into the air like a flowing wind and flew towards the valley where Ku He was practicing.

Although Ku He is the imperial teacher of the current dynasty, the valley where he practices is some distance away from the capital city.

Even if one has the strength of Wolf Peach 9th rank, it would take seven or eight days to walk at full speed.

As for riding a horse, unless it is a BMW horse that can travel a thousand miles a day, it will not be much faster.

But with Leng Feibai's current strength, he arrived outside Ku He's valley in less than half a day's flight.

During this period, the clone who followed Fan Xian also reported to him what happened during that period.

Zhuang Mohan passed away and entrusted his lifelong collection of books to Fan Xian.

Shen Zhong had attempted to intercept the envoys, only to be strangled by the envoy's escort and the Imperial Guards protecting Si Lili. After a moment of reflection, Shen Zhong informed Fan Xian that the Jiangnan Ming family, Li Chengze, and Li Yunrui were behind the smuggling operation within the Imperial Treasury. He then allowed the Imperial Guards to shackle him with iron chains and take him back to Kyoto.

"Shen Zhong is a man now."

Leng Feibai complained in his heart, stood up and walked into the valley. After just a few breaths, he arrived in front of the waterfall.

"Master Ku He, the junior is here!"

As soon as Leng Feibai finished speaking, a stream of light flew out from the waterfall and stopped opposite Leng Feibai.

"Master Ku He!"

Leng Feibai bowed and saluted, "Old man, you are not going to attack me again, are you?"

Listening to Leng Feibai's joking words, Ku He covered his mouth and coughed for a while, "Don't worry, my injuries haven't healed yet, so I can't kill you! The little girl of the Queen Mother, let me tell you my request!"

Leng Feibai nodded and said, "The Queen Mother has already informed me, but I am not someone who would sell out my sister for my wife. If Ruoruo doesn't want to become her disciple, I can't force her!"

After hearing this, Ku He raised his head and said, "There are countless people in the world who want to become my disciples. Are you really unwilling?"

"I said, I respect Ruoruo's ideas!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "If Ruoruo really doesn't want to, then the worst that can happen is that I'll come to Northern Qi to snatch her away after I break through to become a Grandmaster."

"you!"

Ku He looked at Leng Feibai, who was unmoved by any persuasion, and then said, "Good boy, if you really agree now, I will really have to think about whether I can entrust Haitang to you. After all, I can't trust a guy who would sell his family for beauty."

Leng Feibai looked at Ku He and couldn't help asking, "Master Ku He wants me to come here, is there something else?"

Ku He coughed twice more and asked calmly, "I just want to confirm something with you. Are you sure that Hong Sixiang is not a Grandmaster?"

"It's simple, because I fought a man in black!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "Afterwards, I saw Hong Sixiang again and found that his aura was exactly the same as that of the man in black. And another thing is, when I went to see Emperor Qing, if I hadn't seen him with my own eyes, I wouldn't have been able to detect any trace of Li Yunqian's aura at all."

After listening to Leng Feibai's words, Ku He was also certain in his heart, and then asked, "Are you sure about your breakthrough to the Grandmaster level?"

"I already am."

Leng Feibai grumbled in his heart, but still shook his head deliberately.

“It’s all about perception!”

Ku He sighed and said, "I relied on the mental method given by that fairy to perfect the understanding of the unity of heaven and man. Si Gu Jian later abandoned the sword method given by that fairy and comprehended the unstoppable killing sword method. We also passed on our own experience to our respective disciples in Lang Tao, but no matter who they were, they never successfully advanced to the level of Grandmaster."

“Everyone’s perceptions are different, and there may not be similarities.”

Leng Feibai said calmly, "Perhaps in this world, each kind of enlightenment can only allow one person to successfully advance to the Grandmaster level. Lang Tao, Hai Tang, and Yun Zhilan all have to find their own path to successfully break through to the Grandmaster level."

"My own path!"

Ku He said thoughtfully, "Then what is your path?"

"The five elements intersect, creating an endless cycle of life; the five elements counteract each other, destroying everything!"

Leng Feibai's tone was extremely calm, "But I always feel like there's a membrane in front of me. As long as I can break through it, I can be promoted to Grandmaster."
