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

Chapter 57 Record Completed Niulan Street Assassination
Seeing this, Leng Feibai, who was hiding in the cabinet, hurriedly took out the talisman he had prepared early in the morning, and stuffed part of it through the gap in the cabinet, while pouring his own Qi into it.

A tiny ray of light flowed from the talisman, and it immediately took effect and began to record everything around it.

"Humph"

Lin Gong snorted coldly and said, "Si Lili, I don't have time to chat with you. I'm not interested in having anything to do with you. Hurry and hand over the Northern Qi spy token, otherwise, today will be your death!"

Si Lili couldn't help but panic after hearing this. She said with a stiff upper lip, "Mr. Lin, what do you mean? I've fallen into prostitution..."

Before Si Lili could say anything, Lin Gong drew his sword and pressed it against her neck. "I don't have time for verbal battles. I'm telling you, Cheng Jushu has been captured. I'm going to make him obey my orders and kill Fan Xian. Hand over your spy token immediately, or I'll kill you right away."

After hearing this, Si Lili knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she bit the bullet and asked, "Since Master Lin has captured Lili's vitals, I naturally dare not refuse to hand over this spy token. But Master Lin, can you tell Lili the answer? How did you know my identity?"

"Do you really think that Northern Qi is a united front?"

Lin Gong pointed at the two women behind him and said, "These two are disciples of Yun Zhilan from Dongyi City. They were the ones who told me your information!"

The two women wearing bamboo hats paused, obviously disagreeing with Lin Gong's words, but for some reason they said nothing.

After hearing this, Si Lili changed the subject and couldn't help but say, "Since you two are disciples of Yun Zhilan, you should know that Leng Feibai is Fan Xian's elder brother. You dare to attack him. Aren't you afraid of Leng Feibai's revenge?"

As soon as this was said, one of the women said disdainfully, "If he has the guts, let him come to Dongyi City to settle the score. Back then, I don't know who saw my master, but he fled Dongyi City without a word. Why should we be afraid of a coward like that?"

As soon as these words came out, Leng Feibai was almost forced out of the closet.

Nonsense, among the four great masters, Si Gu Jian was the most murderous. He had just defeated Yun Zhilan and said, "Thank you," when Si Gu Jian appeared out of thin air and stood in front of Leng Feibai. He didn't say a word, just tilted his head and looked at him.

Leng Feibai felt very nervous at that time. After all, the great master in front of him had twice massacred the Dongyi City Lord's Mansion with a bloody massacre, and Dadongshan was a top fighter who killed nearly a hundred masters with one sword.

Seeing that he remained silent, Leng Feibai made a prompt decision and immediately activated the Tongtian Talisman to draw a wind and fire escape talisman and escape from Dongyi City.

Listening to the two women's words, Si Lili sighed, took out a token from her bosom and placed it on the table, saying, "The token is here. If you want to command Cheng Jushu, you can only rely on it. After all, that monster recognizes tokens, not people!"

Lin Gong was overjoyed when he saw this. He picked up the token and was about to say something, but at this moment, a loud sneeze came from outside the house.

After hearing this, one of the women immediately rushed out the door, and then a fierce fight broke out outside the door.

Not long after, the woman came back and said calmly, "Someone was eavesdropping. It was a woman. I beat her up. I don't know if she's alive or dead!"

Lin Gong didn't say anything after hearing this. He stood up and said, "Don't even think about running away right now. If you dare to run away, I guarantee you won't be able to leave Kyoto!"

After saying that, Lin Gong took the two women away from the flower boat.

When Si Lili saw this, she was immediately confused. She didn't know why she always felt like she was wrapped in a ball of fire, which made her feel extremely uneasy!
"It's done!"

Leng Feibai took back the talisman and ended the recording of what was happening in the outside world.

Just at this moment, Si Lili was feeling extremely bored, so she got up and went to stroll outside the flower boat to relax.

Leng Feibai was overjoyed. He put away the talisman, turned into smoke, flew out of the cabinet, and left the flower boat.

Inside the Fan Mansion, Fan Xian hummed a little tune while wielding a knife to cut the steamed bun in his hand. He then sandwiched the fried egg and sesame sweet sauce between two slices of steamed bun.

Teng Zijing, who was standing by, looked at Fan Xian and rolled his eyes while grinding soy milk.

Although Fan Xian and Leng Feibai both advised Teng Zijing to leave Kyoto and live a stable life elsewhere.

But Teng Zijing was worried that the waters in Kyoto were too deep and Fan Xian couldn't control himself, so he chose to stay and live and die with Fan Xian.

Looking at Teng Zijing's expression, Fan Xian handed over his crudely made hamburger and said, "Eat some!"

Teng Zijing looked disgusted as he continued to help Fan Xian grind the soy milk, saying, "No, how long did you chat with your princess last night?"

Fan Xian showed helplessness after hearing this. Yesterday, after he prepared the ointment for Fan Ruoruo, he immediately returned to the royal villa to comfort Lin Wan'er for the whole night. He told her several stories and finally persuaded Lin Wan'er to get rid of the guilt of her brother for hurting Fan Ruoruo.

"Old Teng!"

Fan Xian couldn't help but say, "What's going on with Lin Gong? Wan'er and I were engaged by His Majesty. Why is he looking like that?"

"how could I know!"

Teng Zijing said unhappily, "But, since my brother is so difficult to deal with, it will be very difficult for you to marry the princess."

The two of them chatted with each other.

Just then, a servant came running in to report, "Master, the Prince of Jing is here to visit!"

"Old Li is here!"

Fan Xian quickly put down the hamburger in his hand and ran out.

At the same time, Li Hongcheng also walked in quickly, saying with a smile, "Brother Fan, I heard that you had a fight with Prime Minister Lin's second son. How was the battle going?"

"Of course I win!"

Fan Xian quickly asked, "Old Li, how much do you know about Lin Gong?"

"The second son of Prime Minister Lin is extremely talented and devoted to Wan'er. He has doted on her since she was little!"

"So he's still a sister-con!"

Fan Xian couldn't help but cover his face and said, "Sister complex is extremely difficult to deal with. It looks like I'm going to be in trouble! Lao Li, what do you want to see me for?"

Li Hongcheng couldn't help but twitch his lips as he watched Fan Xian's expression change so quickly. He then said, "I'm here to invite you on behalf of the Second Prince. Let's go to Zuixianju tomorrow at noon, on Si Lili's flower boat, to drink and chat!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian's expression suddenly changed. He then said, "Old Li, I want to ask you something. I heard that the Second Prince has eight powerful guards under his command, collectively known as the Eight Generals. How well do you know them?"

"Eight Generals!"

Li Hongcheng shook his head and said, "I only know Xie Bian and Fan Wujiu, and they will both be around the Second Prince tomorrow. As for the remaining six, I don't know!"

After listening to Li Hongcheng's words, Fan Xian suddenly had an idea in his mind. He prepared to pretend to agree and wait until tomorrow when he went to drink to learn more about Li Chengze.

The next morning, Fan Xian and Fan Ruoruo appeared together outside the gate of the Fan Mansion.

Fan Ruoruo said with a worried look on her face, "Brother, are you really going? The news that Brother Feibai sent proves that the one who injured Guo Baokun on Niulan Street was one of the Second Prince's men."

"I know!"

Fan Xian rubbed his hair, "But I must know what kind of person the Second Prince is, so that I can think of a way to deal with him."

"But!"

Fan Ruoruo couldn't help but say, "I'm worried that this will cause misunderstandings. Moreover, after the last incident at the government office, the prince hasn't reacted. I'm worried that he will do something bad to you."

"Do not worry!"

As Fan Xian spoke, he walked down the stairs and turned around, saying, "This is Kyoto after all. Is it possible that he could arrange for an assassin to kill me?"

After saying this, Fan Xian gestured for Fan Ruoruo to return home, then turned and jumped onto the carriage. Watching the carriage drive away, Fan Ruoruo felt incredibly anxious, for some reason.

"Joruo!"

Fan Ruoruo looked up and saw Leng Feibai appear beside him with a calm expression. "Brother Feibai!"

Fan Ruoruo breathed a sigh of relief, "My brother..."

"I know it all!"

Leng Feibai sighed and said, "This kid really knows how to fall into other people's traps. Fortunately, I already know everything. Ruoruo, don't worry, I will bring this naughty monkey back in a while."

Listening to Leng Feibai's words, Fan Ruoruo didn't know for a moment whether she should breathe a sigh of relief or be worried about Fan Xian's skin.

"I bought a two-story house across from the Fan Mansion. Ruoruo, go over there and wait for me."

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he turned into a stream of light and rushed towards Niulan Street.

On the street, Fan Xian and Teng Zijing sat side by side, driving the carriage towards Liujing River. "The work is almost done."

Fan Xian said lazily, "I really want to marry Wan'er as soon as possible and go back to Danzhou with her."

"Go back to Danzhou!"

Teng Zijing couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you plan to stay in Kyoto?"

"Kyoto is a city with deep waters, and it's not easy to live here."

Fan Xian stretched and said, "When I first came to Kyoto, I wanted to find out who was trying to kill me and what happened to my mother. Now it seems I'm just a lazy person."

Having said this, Fan Xian hooked his arm around Teng Zijing's neck and said, "Hey, Old Teng, why don't you move to Danzhou too? We can be neighbors."

"Okay!"

Teng Zijing smiled and said, "If you pay me enough, I'll go with you."

"Then you have to stay with me forever"

The two of them joked around like this and came to Niulan Street.

Fan Xian looked at the place and said with emotion, "I heard that Guo Baokun was beaten half to death here a few days ago. The murderer has not been found yet."

“That’s really memorable!”

Teng Zijing continued, "Luckily, I went to Danzhou and met you. Otherwise, I would never see my wife and children again in this lifetime, let alone resolve the hatred in my heart..."

The two were chatting like this when two figures in white appeared on the roof behind them.

"whoosh"

There was a sound of breaking wind, and two arrows shot towards the two men.

Fan Xian and Teng Zijing's expressions changed at the same time, and they used their lightness skills to avoid the arrows.

"hateful!"

Seeing this, one of the women cursed inwardly, pulled out the arrow behind her and shot it again.

"Be bold!"

Leng Feibai's voice rang out, and he waved his palm to shatter the arrows released by the woman.

"Leng Feibai!"

The woman's expression changed drastically. Although she disdained Leng Feibai's escape that year, it didn't mean that she didn't know how strong Leng Feibai was.

After all, she knew exactly how Leng Feibai knocked his master to the ground within thirty-six moves.

"Fan Xian, Teng Zijing, you two go first, leave this to me!"

Leng Feibai ignored the two women and shouted at Fan Xian and Teng Zijing.

When Fan Xian heard Leng Feibai's voice, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his body shivered involuntarily and he covered his back with his hands.

Teng Zijing looked at Fan Xian, grabbed him, and rushed towards the street ahead.

Seeing this, the two women wanted to use their martial arts skills to escape, but as soon as they turned around, they suddenly felt a shock on the acupuncture points on their backs.

The two women paused and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

"what happened?"

One of the women cried out, "Why can't I move?"

Leng Feibai shook his head, stepped forward and knocked the two women unconscious, then took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and started sketching with his hands.

"Tongtian Lu: Shadow Clone Talisman"

As the talisman came out, it transformed into a brand new clone.

"Tie them both up, gag them and take them back!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he raised his hand, took out a bundle of ropes and threw it on the ground.

The clone nodded, Leng Feibai rushed out quickly, and soon found Fan Xian and Teng Zijing.

At this moment, the two men's faces were blackened by smoke, and not far away from them, Cheng Jushu, an eighth-grade horizontal refining master of Northern Qi, was destroying everything like a madman.

Leng Feibai dodged and rushed in front of Fan Xian and Teng Zijing, saying unhappily, "You're not dead yet?"

"Almost!"

Fan Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Feibai, you came at the perfect time!"

"You still have time to make sarcastic remarks!"

Leng Feibai was amused. "Think about it first and see if you can handle the beating!"

Cheng Jushu looked at the three people chatting not far away, his eyes full of bloodthirsty intent, and he rushed towards the three people.

"careful!"

Teng Zijing opened his mouth to remind Leng Feibai, Leng Feibai glanced at Cheng Jushu, raised his palm and slapped Cheng Jushu with all his strength.

"what"

The palm wind burst out, the energy was as strong as a knife, and Cheng Jushu, whose body was like an iron tower, let out a roar. His body from the neck down instantly turned into a pile of bones and fell to the ground with a bang.

Fan Xian and Teng Zijing, who were slumped on the ground, looked at the changes in front of them, their eyes full of panic.

Only at this moment did they remember Leng Feibai's terrifying nickname, Iron Palm Ruthless, and what exactly did it mean.

"You two!"

Leng Feibai sighed, secretly used the Shennong Liuli Gong and the Tianyi Pulse-cutting Hand, and tapped the two of them a few times.

Fan Xian and Teng Zijing only felt a stream of warmth flowing into their bodies, and the pain they had just suffered in the battle with Cheng Jushu also disappeared in that instant.

"Master Xiao Fan, Master Xiao Fan!"

Wang Qinian hurried over and saw that the two men were unharmed. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I was so scared. I heard at the Inspection Institute that you were attacked by Cheng Jushu, so I rushed over to check. Fortunately, you are okay!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Fan Xian quickly said, "Old Wang, could you please send Cheng Jushu's body back to the Inspection Institute so we can investigate what happened?"

Wang Qinian quickly bowed and said, "Sir, please don't say that. This is all my duty. Hey, who is this?"

Wang Qinian then noticed Leng Feibai. He then saw the headless Cheng Jushu behind him. He immediately thought of someone and stepped forward, bowing and saying, "You must be Iron Palm Ruthless—Leng Feibai, Master Leng. I have long admired you, Wang Qinian!"

"Mr. Wang, you're welcome!"

Leng Feibai raised his hand and helped Wang Qinian up, saying, "Mr. Wang has been very helpful to Fan Xian. I should thank you for taking care of me."

Seeing this, Wang Qinian begged for mercy repeatedly and wiped the sweat from his head.

Leng Feibai looked at Fan Xian. Fan Xian shuddered and hid behind Teng Zijing.

Leng Feibai said indifferently, "I'm living in the courtyard opposite the Fan Mansion now. Come find me later. If you don't come, you can't get married. I will tie you up and take you back to Danzhou."
