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

Chapter 68 Xie Bian blocks the way

After hearing this, Fan Xian's expression changed repeatedly. He lowered his head and asked, "Brother, were you watching the whole thing?"

"Ok!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "If the emperor hadn't killed those maids, I would have pressed the acupoints of those people. But if they failed, they would have died if they returned."

Fan Xian's expression changed repeatedly after hearing this. He never imagined that when he first arrived in Kyoto, so many people would die because of him.

"You don't have to worry about it."

Leng Feibai said expressionlessly, "Let me advise you, it's good to have sympathy and compassion. But don't use them on people or knives that want to hurt you. Even if it's an uncontrollable knife, as long as it's pointed at you, you have to find a way to break it."

"You seem very experienced!"

"I was a forensic doctor in my previous life, and I've seen so many disgusting cases!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he took out a piece of silver and paid for the tea. "Go back to the Fan Mansion, or go see Lin Wan'er?"

Fan Xian's face fell after hearing this, and he whispered, "Wan'er and I both need to calm down for a while. Maybe during this time I can help Fan Sizhe write Red Mansions, or help Wan'er find medicine to treat tuberculosis."

"What a pity! There's no isoniazid in this world. Otherwise, your wife's tuberculosis could be cured more smoothly!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he changed the subject and said, "Then you can just wander around the streets for a while. I'm going back first. And stay away from the royal family. I feel that there are not many good people in the Li family."

After saying this, Leng Feibai was about to get up and leave. Fan Xian suddenly remembered something and said quickly, "By the way, brother, Ye Ling'er asked me this morning, do you have someone you like?"

As soon as these words came out, Leng Feibai's face darkened for a moment, and then he stood up and said, "Even if I don't have someone I like, I can't fall in love with Ye Ling'er."

Fan Xian was stunned after hearing this and couldn't help asking, "Why?"

Leng Feibai couldn't help but cover his head after hearing this and said, "You're so idle. You were a liberal arts student in your previous life, right?"

Fan Xian nodded. Leng Feibai said unhappily, "Let me tell you one thing. Your accountant's adopted son is dating the security captain's daughter. As your boss, you can trust him! And you're also going to take over the inner treasury. If I marry the daughter of the Kyoto garrison, there are only two possibilities. Either your marriage to Lin Wan'er is off, or you say goodbye to the inner treasury."

After saying that, Leng Feibai stood up and said through gritted teeth, "Besides, I already have a woman I like, but her identity is very embarrassing!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai walked towards the Fan Mansion.

After walking about two blocks, a young man with a sword in his arms stood in front of Leng Feibai.

"Leng Feibai!"

The young man looked at him and said, "I am..."

Leng Feibai looked at the young man in front of him with a face full of Chuunibyou and interrupted him directly, "Everyone is busy, let's talk about business!"

The young man choked and said in a cold tone, "I am Xie Bian, a retainer of the Second Prince. The Second Prince invites you to come over and see him!"

"Not interested in!"

Leng Feibai finished speaking and turned to walk away. Xie Bian was immediately furious when he saw this and drew out his sword to stab Leng Feibai.

Xie Bian's swordsmanship is known as the "Sword that Breaks Time", and he has few rivals in the inner fighting of Kyoto. "It's not up to you. You must come with me to see His Highness today."

Leng Feibai frowned slightly, raised his hand and clamped Xie Bian's sword, saying in a bad tone, "You dare to draw your sword against me, you are very brave! But even Yun Zhilan is no match for me, how many moves can you take!"

"Just want to ask for advice!"

After Xie Bian finished speaking, he swung his sword and attacked Leng Feibai again.

Leng Feibai did not fight back, but just dodged left and right using his lightness skills and watched Xie Bian's swordsmanship carefully.

The long sword swept across, flashing past like lightning.

Every time the sword swept across, one could feel lightning flashing across the sky, which was so exciting that it was difficult to look directly at it.

If Leng Feibai were to explain using characters from novels he had read, Xie Bian's swordsmanship would be a bit like Ding Jian, the electric sword in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

As expected, when Xie Bian fully unleashed his sword, Leng Feibai only felt the bright and dazzling light around him.

“It’s a bit fancy and interesting!”

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he sighed and said, "Then I'll give you a finger!" After that, Leng Feibai raised his hand to gather his strength, concentrated his internal energy on the index finger of his right hand, and pointed it out directly.

Although Leng Feibai had not practiced the Dugu Nine Swords, his Emperor's Qi-gazing Technique had already reached perfection. No matter how brilliant and dazzling Xie Bian's swordsmanship was, it could not affect him in the slightest.

"One finger cuts off desire, and it is difficult to return to Penglai"

He pointed his finger and hit the sword in Xie Bian's hand.

"boom"

The energy burst out, forcing Xie Bian's sword to fall out of his hand.

Under the shock of the energy, Xie Bian watched helplessly as the sword in his hand turned into pieces and fell to the ground.

"Swinging your sword with the wind can indeed help you increase your speed, but this is just the basics!"

Leng Feibai bluntly instructed, "If you can draw your sword faster against the wind than with it, then you're truly fast. But even if you can draw your sword faster against the wind than with it, it's only a small improvement."

After saying that, Leng Feibai ignored Xie Bian and turned away.

"Switch your sword against the wind, it's faster than with the wind!"

Xie Bian muttered a few words to himself and left the street in a daze.

An hour later, Fan Jian, who had just returned from court, saw Leng Feibai slowly walking back with a bag of dried persimmons and a few snacks, and shouted at him, "Feibai, come here!"

"Father!"

Leng Feibai hurried over and said, "Godfather, what happened?"

"It's no big deal!"

After Fan Jian finished speaking, he pulled Leng Feibai into the Fan Mansion and said, "Your Majesty has given you the guest official token?"

"Ok!"

Leng Feibai nodded, and quickly thought of something, "Foster father, is His Majesty plotting against me?"

"Be careful!"

Fan Jian glared, then said, "Although the guest token is useless, with it, you have some capital to confront the powerful people in Kyoto. But you must remember..."

"The capital of the guest official was given by His Majesty, and His Majesty can take it back at any time!"

Leng Feibai said this calmly, with no sign of loss in his eyes at all.

Fan Jian smiled after hearing this and said, "You are right, but His Majesty will not take it back easily. As long as..."

"As long as I am of value to His Majesty, this token will be the amulet His Majesty gives me!"

As Leng Feibai spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, "After all, His Majesty also hopes that I can become a useful chess piece in his hands."

Fan Jian looked at Leng Feibai, nodded, and said, "You know a lot more than Fan Xian!"

"Although the business world and the government are different, they also have similarities!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "If you're not careful, you'll be ruined and your family will be destroyed. It's really tiring!"

As soon as these words came out, Leng Feibai ignored his image and leaned against the pillar behind the pavilion.

"Oh right, godfather!"

Leng Feibai looked at Fan Jian and said, "Ye Ling'er from the Kyoto garrison asked Fan Xian..."

Listening to Leng Feibai's words, Fan Jian stroked his beard and said, "It's indeed not easy for you to marry into the Ye family, but if you really like Ye Ling'er, then your godfather can give it a try."

"Need not!"

Leng Feibai shook his head and said, "It's better to avoid trouble in Kyoto. Besides, I already have someone I like."
