Chapter 109 Sean: Where is my grandson? Trading Tianyi Dao (33)
Yan Xiaoyi had just gotten up when he suddenly heard wind in his ears and a flying knife came flying towards him!
He touched the ground with his left hand and rose up from the ground, barely avoiding the knife.
Ninth-grade hidden weapon skills!
There are no more than fifty ninth-grade warriors in the world, and Yan Xiaoyi has never heard of another long-range ninth-grade warrior.
He pulled the bow and suddenly felt pain in his right arm. He forced himself to shoot an arrow in the direction of the flying knife.
"Keng!"
The flying knife and arrow collided, creating a series of sparks, and both lost their power and fell to the ground.
The archer's arm was seriously injured, and the power of the arrows he shot was greatly reduced!
Yan Xiaoyi had no confidence that he could deal with the opponent in front of him.
Then, a black figure came after him, appearing and disappearing from the distance.
Yan Xiaoyi did not dare to be careless. He immediately climbed onto the horse and fled in the direction he came from.
It doesn’t matter if I can’t kill Fan Xian, but I can’t risk my own life.
Li Changan watched from afar. Teng Zijing did not give up, but ran through the mountains and forests, chasing Yan Xiaoyi closely.
Teng Zijing knew that capturing this ninth-rank archer would be a great achievement.
The head of the former deputy commander of the Imperial Guards and the seventh person on the Langya Master List is quite tempting!
The border troops of Northern Qi and Southern Qing were all killed or wounded. Uesugi Tora was shot in the shoulder and gradually withdrew from the battlefield under the cover of several trusted men.
Looking at Sean who was still being held back by Haitang, Uesugi Tiger felt very unwilling.
"Father!"
Haitang Duoduo raised her eyebrows and said, "If you don't leave, I'll kill you too!"
Sean closed his eyes helplessly and said to Uesugi Tiger, "Tiger, this girl seems to be here to protect me."
"You go back to the capital first, we will meet again someday!"
Uesugi Tiger retreated and the chaos finally ended. Fan Xian counted and found that there were several ninth-grade people coming today!
Lang Tao, Haitang, Shangshan Hu, Yan Xiaoyi, the man in black, how come they are all of the ninth rank!
Fan Xian, who broke through to the eighth level at the end of last year, suddenly felt that his progress was slow.
Several Tiger Guards died in the melee just now. Lang Tao has already jumped out of the encirclement and is rushing towards Sean.
Zhao Da and several surviving veterans only cared about Fan Xian's life and death, and did not help the Tiger Guards deal with Lang Tao.
Fan Xian said anxiously, "Master Guo, let your people deal with Lang Tao!"
But Zhao Da shouted, "We took their money and only protected your life!"
Fan Xian was speechless as he was still concerned about money at this time. He pulled Sean up and ran deep into the stone forest.
Guo Shao ran out in a hurry, "Follow him, we must not let Fan Xian die!"
So, the group of people divided into several layers and ran deep into the stone forest.
Fan Xian and Xiao En ran in front, Lang Tao chased behind, Hai Tang tried to stop Lang Tao, and Guo Shao's men and the Tiger Guards followed at the end.
The blood on Sean's chest was flowing more and more, and Fan Xian began to miss the powerful Black Knight!
Not long after they ran, they came to the edge of a cliff.
Sean said with a pale face, "You can abandon me, Langtao is going to kill me."
Fan Xian said unhappily, "I was just about to abandon you, but ended up at the edge of a cliff."
Xiao En directly exposed him, "You are expecting Chen Pingping to have a backup plan, but don't count on it."
Fan Xian's thoughts were hit home, and according to Chen Pingping's style, he would definitely keep a trump card in mind.
This matter really can’t be blamed on Chen Pingping, because Dean Chen has a backup plan, but Shadow is still sleeping in a stone pillar.
Langtao and Haitang fought and chased each other and finally reached the edge of the cliff.
Haitang suddenly felt a pain in her lower back, allowing Langtao to rush to the edge of the cliff first.
Li Changan's order to him was to protect Sean, but every time she had a hope of stopping Lang Tao, a stream of true energy would gently hit her lower back.
Of course she knew that only Li Changan could do this.
She really wanted to give up. What did this mean? She was asked to protect Sean, but she was not allowed to stop Lang Tao.
If Sean can't stop Lang Tao, he'll be dead!
She was feeling extremely puzzled and annoyed, but she saw Lang Tao stabbing Sean in the back again!
Sean lost control of his balance, and when he fell off the cliff, he actually pulled Fan Xian down with him!
Seeing the two people fall off the cliff, Lang Tao put away the flying knife and looked at Haitang Duoduo meaningfully.
He said with relief, "Junior sister, it's really hard for you."
Haitang was upset and said casually, "Of course, it's so difficult."
Lang Tao sighed and said, "You have to fulfill the Queen Mother's wishes, and you have to respect the Master's wishes."
“So, you pretended to stop me, but you didn’t actually use your full strength.
Don't worry, I will report the truth to Master."
"She has nothing to say about the Queen Mother either."
Haitang Duoduo's face was full of question marks. How could Senior Brother Langtao justify this?
"Junior sister, the matter has been settled. Let's go back to the capital to report."
Haitang Duoduo didn't dare to act on her own. "Brother, please go back first. The Queen Mother has arranged other important matters."
By the time Guo Shao arrived with the veterans and guards, Langtao and Haitang had already dispersed.
When Guo Shao saw the bloodstains on the edge of the cliff, he couldn't help but feel sad. The last straw to save his father was broken!
"Brother Fan! My Brother Fan! You died such a tragic death!"
Mr. Guo shouted heartbreakingly, and Mr. Zhao and others were all full of admiration for him. He was indeed a man of temperament!
In a cave under the cliff, Fan Xian cursed, "This man is crying, what is he shouting for!"
Sean looked at Fan Xian with a kind face, which made Fan Xian feel a chill in his chest.
We are not related at all, but why does his expression resemble Chen Pingping?
"Your methods are vicious, but someone is so devoted to you. You are indeed a good candidate."
Fan Xian ignored Sean's flattery, "Sean, if you want to die, then die. Why do you have to drag me into this?"
When Sean fell off the cliff just now, he pulled Fan Xian down with him.
"I can tell where the pits are in the border area with my eyes closed. Of course I know there is a cave under this cliff."
Fan Xian asked doubtfully, "Then what? You pull me down, and then I catch you. Will it be good for you?"
Sean said weakly, "The two slashes of Wolf and Peach hit my heart meridian. I can't be saved. I have something to tell you before I die."
Fan Xian was kind enough to help Sean stop the bleeding, and Sean laughed happily towards the sky.
"I'm glad you saved me. Chen Pingping and the Northern Qi emperor and his ministers all want to know the secret in my heart, but Ku He doesn't want it to be known."
"I can tell you right now..."
Fan Xian was even more confused, "No, why did you tell me?"
Sean smiled sadly, "Wait until I finish telling you the secret, and if I have time, I'll tell you."
Fan Xian didn't care about it anymore. This secret might be related to his mysterious mother.
Then, Sean started telling the story of that year.
The Emperor of Wei sent an army of a thousand men to the north to search for the temple, with Ku He and Sean as the leaders.
The two went north and passed Beilao Pass, encountering polar night, with no sun for dozens of days. When the food ran out, the army began to eat each other, and Sean and Ku He also ate a lot. In the end, only Ku He and Sean walked out of the darkness.
Ku He had eaten human flesh. Now as the national master of Da Qi, how could he tolerate such a dark history being known to others?
The secret of the temple and Ku He's dark history are the reasons why Ku He sent people to kill Sean.
Next, the two saw a temple in the far north, and the appearance of the temple was exactly what they had imagined.
Later the door opened and a fairy named Ye Qingmei came out.
She said that everyone sees the temple differently.
Whatever temple you have in your mind is what you see.
When he heard this, Fan Xian was stunned. It turned out that his mother came from the temple!
In this timeline, because Wu Zhu was injured, the two had not yet gone to get the key to the box, so they had not yet read Ye Qingmei's letter.
Afterwards, Ye Qingmei gave the two of them a set of martial arts techniques, but emphasized that the technique was most suitable for Ku He to practice.
This set of skills is the Tianyi Dao method. After practicing it, Ku He finally broke through to the level of a grandmaster.
Although Sean also practiced, his improvement speed was far slower than Ku He, and he did not become a grandmaster.
Sean also mentioned that Ye Qingmei was carrying a box, which made Fan Xian even more certain that this Ye Qingmei was his mother.
Later, Ye Qingmei was going back to take Wuzhu away, so she separated from Ku He and Xiao En, and asked Ku He and Xiao En to keep the matters of the temple secret.
Ku He was a devout monk who regarded Ye Qingmei's words as sacred. Naturally, he demanded that Sean keep the secret, otherwise he would kill him.
Later, Ye Qingmei took Wuzhu to Dongyi City and Nanqing, founded a business, and married into the royal family.
Hearing this ending, Fan Xian was somewhat shocked, "Ye Qingmei married into the royal family. Who did she marry?"
Xiao En said proudly, "This matter is very secret, but it can't be hidden from me. She married Emperor Qing."
“But she didn’t enter the harem, and she didn’t get married formally.
She lives in Taiping Villa, and they are actually husband and wife. Ye Qingmei is also pregnant with a child for Emperor Qing."
This is the last thing Sean knows about Ye Qingmei.
Fan Xian only now realized that he was actually the son of Emperor Qing, a prince!
No wonder Emperor Qing was extremely tolerant of him, and even found reasons to promote him quickly and make sure to hand over the inner treasury to him.
Obviously, Ye Qingmei did not tell Emperor Qing, Chen Pingping and Fan Jian about her origins, and Wu Zhu himself had forgotten about it.
Fan Xian suppressed his inner excitement and asked, "Now can you tell me why you told me the secret?"
Sean smiled kindly again, "Kid, you are my grandson."
Fan Xian almost started to curse, why are you cursing at people for no reason?
But as Sean continued his analysis, Fan Xian began to feel a chill on his back.
He also understood that he had been caught in a huge network since he came to Beijing.
"You have been learning poison techniques since you were a child, just to prepare for escorting me."
"You grew up in Tanzhou, but you were promoted quickly within less than a year after coming to Kyoto."
"The reason why I promoted you so quickly is to give you the opportunity to escort me and kill me with your own hands, or let me kill you!"
Fan Xian knew very well that he was the son of Ye Qingmei and Emperor Qing, and that Sean had fallen into Chen Pingping's trap.
Chen Pingping is so powerful that he has Sean completely planned for him.
"I will not reveal the secret in my heart no matter how much torture I endure, but I will not commit suicide either."
"It's because I have a thought in my heart, and that thought is my son's illegitimate child, who is also my grandson."
"Chen Pingping captured my grandson, but never told me the news directly. Instead, he tested and threatened me bit by bit!"
"But the more he does this, the more I will keep quiet. Only if I keep my mouth shut can my grandson be safe!"
Fan Xian still didn't quite understand Sean's logic, "Danzhou is so big, how can you be sure it's me?"
Sean said confidently, "Firstly, my age is suitable, and secondly, I want you to send me back to Northern Qi."
"If Chen Pingping really wanted to cultivate you, why would he secretly withdraw the Black Cavalry? How come he didn't have any backup plan when you jumped off the cliff just now?"
"You escorted me this time. Someone must have given you the order to kill me, right?"
"I asked you to kill me, but I didn't care about your safety at all. Chen Pingping hoped that you would kill me, or I would kill you!"
"They didn't even destroy my martial arts, and they wanted me to personally kill the dream that I've had for more than 20 years. How cruel!"
Fan Xian felt that Xiao En was too crazy, "But why did Chen Pingping torture you like this?"
Xiao En smiled bitterly and said, "How long have you known Chen Pingping? You don't know him at all!"
"Once he has hatred in his heart, he will seek revenge even if it takes ten or a hundred years!
I broke his leg and made him disabled. How could he not hate me for torturing me?"
By now, Fan Xian has completely figured out the whole thing.
His entry into Kyoto was indeed a grand chess game planned by Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing, just to get the secret out of Sean's mouth.
Chen Pingping was too familiar with Sean, so every step he took was appropriate, and he didn't even leave any birthmarks, relics or other evidence.
People who are too shrewd and confident like to doubt the evidence in front of them and choose to believe the conclusions drawn from their own investigations.
Fan Xian felt that the two old foxes in Kyoto were really creepy, as they had calculated all of Sean's thoughts and judgments.
At this moment, a stream of true energy suddenly shot in from outside the cave and hit the back of Fan Xian's head accurately. Fan Xian's eyes rolled back and he fainted completely.
When Sean saw the skill of releasing the true Qi and hitting acupoints at will, his hair stood on end!
"Grandmaster!"
But then, he saw a young man who was not much older than Fan Xian.
Li Changan had trained more than 200 acupuncture points on his body, and at the same time released his true energy, chiseling open the stone walls of the cave.
This level of control over true Qi was already astonishing in Sean's opinion!
"What a young Grand Master! You have been eavesdropping on the secrets of the temple. What do you plan to do with us, grandparents and grandchildren?"
Sean thought Fan Xian was his grandson and subconsciously wanted to protect him.
Li Changan put away his true energy, "Temple? The temple has no secrets for me. My existence is higher than the temple."
"I came to this world and needed the method of utilizing nuclear radiation deduced by the temple to allow me to reach a deeper realm as quickly as possible."
Sean looked nervous, but said firmly, "It may not be that easy for you to obtain the Tianyi Dao method."
Li Changan flicked his hands and a pill bounced into Sean's throat, which was then swallowed directly by Sean.
"A pill of concentrated thousand-year-old ginseng to prevent you from dying suddenly."
"I want to make a deal with you. If you hand over the Tianyi Dao, I will tell you where your real grandson is."
Xiao En looked at Fan Xian with concern, "Since you have heard everything, you should know that he is my grandson."
Li Changan stared into Sean's eyes and spoke word by word.
"He is not your grandson, he is the son of Emperor Qing and Ye Qingmei."
