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

Chapter 83: One vs. Two
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

The maid looked at Li Yunrui and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I just had a nightmare."

Li Yunrui shook his head, regaining some clarity, and quickly asked, "What time is it?"

"Second watch!"

The maid hesitated and said, "Your Highness, would you like to take a bath?"

Li Yunrui shook his head and said, "No, let's talk about it after dawn. I'll sleep for a while."

After saying that, Li Yunrui closed his eyes and fell asleep quietly.

But not long after, the nightmare talisman left in his body by Leng Feibai's clone broke out again, dragging Li Yunrui into the nightmare again.

In this way, Li Yunrui struggled in nightmares all night long. When she woke up the next morning, there was a layer of dark blue on the corners of her eyes.

The next morning, Leng Feibai, who had a good sleep at home, opened his eyes, got up and finished washing up.

"Master Feibai!"

A servant came over and said, "Eunuch Hou is here and says he has a message for you."

"you sure!"

Leng Feibai, who was brushing his teeth with foam in his mouth, asked with a puzzled look, "The oral instruction isn't addressed to Fan Xian, but to me?"

"Eunuch Hou said he was looking for you, please go over there quickly!"

Looking at the servant's appearance, Leng Feibai quickly washed away the foam in his mouth, changed into a blue shirt, and quickly walked to the front hall.

Upon seeing Eunuch Hou, Leng Feibai hurried over to greet him, "It's been a while since we last met. How are you, Eunuch Hou?"

"Master Lao is worried about you!"

Eunuch Hou acted like a good old man and said quickly, "Young Master, you've been keeping an eye on the Northern Qi wolf peach for the past few days, and you've been up all night for so long. It must be really tiring. His Majesty has given me a verbal order to tell you that when you go to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests tonight, you must bring your weapons with you."

Leng Feibai was stunned when he heard this. He quickly took out a banknote from his sleeve and stuffed it into the eunuch Hou's pocket, saying, "Eunuch, please explain to me, what does His Majesty mean by this?"

"Hi"

Eunuch Hou put away the banknotes and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal. Lang Tao and Yun Zhilan just requested that they attend the banquet, but they must compete with you, Master Leng, once more. That's why His Majesty sent this old servant to inform you to bring your weapons to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests tonight."

"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Hou!"

Leng Feibai cupped his hands and said, "Please tell His Majesty that at tonight's banquet, I will let those two guys know why the flowers are so red!"

Eunuch Hou was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but say, "Sir, I'd like to ask you, what does this mean?"

Leng Feibai smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed at the blooming flowers beside him.

"boom"

The flower turned into petals and scattered all over the ground.

"Ouch!"

Seeing this, Eunuch Hou quickly said, "Sir, let me give you a piece of advice. Stop it and don't cause any trouble."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on!"

After seeing off Eunuch Hou, Leng Feibai returned to the backyard. Fan Xian was still preparing for the evening.

When he saw Leng Feibai come in, Fan Xian asked curiously, "Brother, what happened?"

"It's not a big deal!"

Leng Feibai sat aside and said, "His Majesty sent Eunuch Hou to deliver his decree, ordering me to enter the palace with weapons tonight to fight Lang Tao and Yun Zhilan."

"what!"

Fan Xian was stunned and quickly said, "Those two are both upper-grade ninth-rank cultivators. You can handle both of them at the same time, right?"

"One pursues relentlessly, the other one kills with one strike."

Leng Feibai rubbed his head and said, "Fighting alone is not difficult, but if I were to face these two guys at the same time, I would have had a headache five years ago."

“Five years ago!”

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and couldn't help asking, "So, Brother Feibai, are you going to use any new tactics tonight?"

"You'll find out tonight!" Leng Feibai turned to look at Fan Xian and said, "There's something you should pay attention to. Don't get too drunk tonight!"

"What's the meaning!"

Leng Feibai looked at Fan Xian's foolish expression and said angrily, "I'm afraid you'll get drunk and blurt out all sorts of words. If you say..."

Leng Feibai looked around and used the Emperor's Qi-gazing Technique to check the surroundings. After confirming that there was no one around, he whispered, "If you want to compose a poem related to rebellion, then..."

"I'll pay attention!"

Fan Xian shrugged helplessly and said, "But brother, I must get drunk tonight. That way, I can use the alcohol to get rid of suspicion."

"Just be careful, I'll help you when the time comes!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "At worst, I can just change my body."

"Change your body."

Fan Xian laughed and said, "Brother, don't tease me. How can I change my body?"

Leng Feibai looked at Fan Xian, and blue stripes appeared all over his body.

The next moment, something happened that surprised Fan Xian.

Leng Feibai's whole body twisted, and he suddenly became exactly like Fan Xian, and then changed back.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Fan Xian opened his mouth wide, and Leng Feibai said directly without hiding anything from him, "Fenghou Qimen."

"Don't tease me."

Fan Xian said with a strange expression, "Fenghou Qimen also has this effect. Before I came here, I also watched Under One Person, but I didn't see it..."

"You traveled through time in 17, right?"

Leng Feibai tilted his head and said, "In the 24th year, Zhou Sheng appeared and demonstrated the true use of Fenghou Qimen. This is also why I was not affected by the side effects after mastering Fenghou Qimen."

"I go!"

Fan Xian looked very pleased, "So Wang Ye must have practiced incorrectly, right? I was saying..."

"Let's get down to business!"

Leng Feibai interrupted Fan Xian, "Anyway, tonight, I will cooperate with you in secret. Be careful."

Fan Xian nodded, and the two of them stayed in the room to recuperate until the beginning of the afternoon, when the carriage that was to take them to the palace arrived outside the Fan Mansion.

Leng Feibai and Fan Xian changed into new clothes and got on the carriage neatly.

The person driving the carriage was none other than Wang Qinian, the man assigned to Fan Xian by Chen Pingping.

In the carriage, Wang Qinian looked at Leng Feibai with a hesitant look, not knowing whether he should speak.

"Brother Feibai is one of us, don't worry!"

Hearing Fan Xian's words, Wang Qinian quickly said, "Sir, the locksmith has been found. He's just waiting for you to bring your things over."

Soon, outside the palace gate, the envoys from Northern Qi and Dongyi City, as well as the ministers of the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites who came to attend the banquet, arrived outside the palace gate and were inspected by the guards outside.

"Master Xiao Fan, Master Leng!"

Xin Qiwu's voice came from behind the two men. He quickly ran up to them and said, "What a coincidence, we meet again. Hey, Master Fan, why aren't you wearing your official uniform?"

Fan Xian said casually, "I'm just an eighth-rank official. There's no need for me to wear official uniform. Besides, I'm not the protagonist."

As Fan Xian spoke, he pointed at Leng Feibai. Leng Feibai was holding a long black cloth bag in his arms. He looked at Fan Xian and whispered, "Mind your own business."

"Ha ha!"

Xin Qiwu had known this for a long time, so he stepped forward and said, "Master Leng, you'll have to fight hard later. The market has opened, and I've withheld half a month's salary from you."

Leng Feibai couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this, and asked curiously, "Master Xin, may I ask, how are these odds calculated?"

"It's a one-to-one payout for both sides, but..."

Xin Qiwu whispered, "Because Master Leng, you are going to face two ninth-rank masters at the same time, there are fewer people betting on you to win."
