Chapter 84: Departure, Heading to Jiangnan
Shadow acted without hesitation. He was incredibly fast and blocked Li Chengzhu's path in the blink of an eye.
Then the shadow was knocked back by Li Chengzhu's punch and flew back at an even faster speed than when it came.
"Old Li, have mercy, this is my nephew..."
Ye Chengfeng's words came too late; Shadow had already been beaten.
Li Chengzhu showed mercy because he had seen the two of them much earlier.
However, Li Chengzhu held a grudge. He still remembered the incident where Shadow tested Fan Xian deep in the dungeon of the Supervisory Council.
Moreover, Fan Xian almost died this time because of Shadow, although Shadow did not do it on purpose.
After discovering Shadow, Li Chengzhu wanted to take this opportunity to get a little revenge on him.
That's right, Ye Chengfeng made a mistake from the very beginning.
Li Chengzhu is Fan Xian, but Fan Xian is not Li Chengzhu.
Both possess a soul, suggesting that Fan Xian may have a split personality.
Li Chengzhu is Fan Xian's hidden personality.
However, Li Chengzhu didn't exactly deceive Ye Chengfeng, because Li Chengzhu was indeed the dominant personality of the body.
Unfortunately, he was too weak at the beginning and could not withstand Fan Shen's memories of more than 20 years in his previous life. He was influenced by Fan Shen's memories and gave birth to a special personality like Li Chengzhu.
Li Chengzhu's existence can be considered a form of self-protection for his soul. Without Ye Chengfeng's intervention, he probably wouldn't have been revived when Fan Xian died.
"You're too brave. With his speed, can't you tell he's stronger than you?"
Since he was his nephew after all, Ye Chengfeng still helped Shadow out by using his sword control technique to catch him and prevent him from being too embarrassed.
At this moment, Li Chengzhu had already arrived in front of them.
What are you doing here?
"You've already beaten my nephew, let's just forget about it!"
"Okay, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Li Chengzhu acted decisively and efficiently; after speaking, he turned and left.
Watching Li Chengzhu's retreating figure, he was incredibly curious about who this ridiculously strong person was.
"This person is incredibly powerful; he defeated me in a single move? Could he be a Grandmaster?"
"Go home and ask your dean."
"You really can't tell me?"
"I'll tell you if you resign from the Control Yuan."
Ye Chengfeng immediately abandoned the idea of the shadow continuing to ask questions.
Getting him to leave the Control Yuan is simply impossible.
Neither Emperor Qing nor Chen Pingping would allow him to leave the Overwatch Council; the Shadow knew far too many secrets.
"Never mind then, I'll head back now. If you encounter any trouble in Kyoto, you can come to the Control Yuan to find me."
After Shadow finished speaking, he intended to leave immediately, but then he thought that it was inappropriate for Ye Chengfeng, a person from Dongyi City, to go to the Supervisory Council to find him.
He then took out another token and tossed it to Ye Chengfeng.
After giving the token, Shadow left without explaining its purpose.
"The problem is, they gave us the token but didn't explain its purpose."
Ye Chengfeng looked at the token in his hand, one side of which was written "Six Places" and the other side "Organizer".
"Wow, they just gave me their identity token?"
But upon closer reflection, Shadow really doesn't need this token.
-----------------
Seven days later, a huge multi-story ship was moored on the river.
A few days ago, the news that Fan Xian was Emperor Qing's son and a prince had already spread like wildfire in the capital.
The source of the information was naturally the Control Yuan, so it's not hard to guess who leaked it.
Did Emperor Qing not realize that revealing Fan Xian as his son at this time would only bring harm and no benefit to Fan Xian?
Of course he knew, and he also knew that Li Yunrui was in Kyoto; he was telling Li Yunrui about it.
Emperor Qing needs to test the trump card that Ye Qingmei left for Fan Xian.
That is, the contents of that box.
Emperor Qing had no idea that the contents of the container were Barrett sniper rifles.
What they didn't know was that the Barrett was now missing its most important component—the firing pin.
Because he didn't care whether Fan Xian would die or not.
Ye Chengfeng had already led Fan Ruoruo and Xiao Lan onto the ship.
He wasn't interested in the power struggles between Fan Xian and his half-brothers.
However, this time, the Third Prince Li Chengping will accompany Fan Xian to Jiangnan, along with Fan Xian's students.
Shi Chanli, a student who failed the imperial examination.
A pitiful family whose clan was wiped out.
Ye Chengfeng wondered if, as in the original story, it was still the Crown Prince who took action.
He changed so much, but he still couldn't change Shi Chanli's fate. You could only say that this kid is really unlucky.
However, when saying goodbye to Fan Jian this time, Fan Xian did not mention that he wanted to enter the Fan family ancestral hall.
This was naturally because Li Chengzhu's words influenced Fan Xian.
After the ship set sail, Fan Xian remained depressed.
The reason is simple: Lin Wan'er knows the truth about her brother's murder.
The couple's relationship underwent an extremely severe test.
"What's wrong? You don't seem very interested?"
"I just don't know how to face Wan'er."
"It's perfectly reasonable for you to kill your brother in retaliation. If she holds a grudge against you or even against Wu Zhu because of this, then I don't think she's a good match for you."
Instead of comforting Fan Xian, Ye Chengfeng added fuel to the fire.
"You've got a sweet tongue, haven't you? You're just rubbing salt into my wounds. You're really inhuman."
Fan Xian rolled his eyes; he really wanted to punch Ye Chengfeng.
Unfortunately, his true energy has barely recovered to the first rank, and he has no strength to beat Ye Chengfeng.
"I'm not kidding you anymore. I have good news for you. I've recently optimized the method for suppressing the toxins in your heart meridian. Do you want me to help you?"
Ye Chengfeng's intentions were not good; by using the Sword Heart Demon Seed on the Crown Prince, he discovered a more efficient way to conserve cultivation energy.
After modifying the demonic seed in Fan Xian's heart meridian, Ye Chengfeng's cultivation level should be able to recover to the ninth rank.
After all, we're about to face a Grandmaster, so having more strength means having more safety.
"real?"
"Of course, when it comes to serious business, I'm quite reliable."
"Let's begin!"
Fan Xian was also eager to restore his cultivation level.
That feeling of emptiness inside him made him feel extremely insecure.
Practice makes perfect, and this is the third time I've used the Sword Heart Demon Seed technique.
It went much more smoothly than the previous two times.
After finishing his practice, Ye Chengfeng felt his body filled with renewed true energy and was in an exceptionally good mood.
The same applies to Fan Xian; the demonic seed not only stopped absorbing his true energy, but even fed him back a pure stream of true energy.
"My meridians are repairing quickly, and my cultivation level has recovered to the seventh rank. In another month, I feel that my cultivation level will be fully restored."
Fan Xian said happily.
"Thank you, Lao Ye." Fan Xian looked at Ye Chengfeng gratefully.
According to the data in Fan Xian's mental space.
At this point, Ye Chengfeng should be at 85% trust level!
"Get lost, get lost, don't look at me with those perverted eyes, I'm not gay."
Ye Chengfeng kicked Fan Xian away.
"Hey Lao Ye, you see my skills are a bit low right now, could you teach me your sword control technique?"
Did Fan Xian learn Ye Chengfeng's sword control technique?
Of course he had studied it, but he practiced on his own for a long time and still couldn't get the hang of it.
Just kidding. Wang Xi started learning the Sword Control Technique not long after Ye Chengfeng created it, and he's only just barely gotten the hang of it yet.
Fan Xian wants to get started, but it's not that simple. It's impossible to succeed without several years of experience.
