"Fan Bin!"

Hearing Emperor Qing's call, Fan Bin bowed without hesitation.

"His Majesty."

"I have gained a lot from today's battle. I originally thought that Grandmasters were the root of disaster for the country and the people. But now it seems that unless all the warriors in the world are killed, Grandmasters will continue to be born. The four great masters are just the beginning, and then comes the era of Grandmasters. If Daqing wants to stand firm, it must have the power to contend with the Grandmasters."

Emperor Qing has a very clear mind.

If he wants to master the power to compete with or even suppress the Grand Master, he can only start from two aspects.

The first is the temple.

The temple has messengers whose strength is comparable to that of a grandmaster, and even has weapons powerful enough to threaten the grandmaster.

He saw this with his own eyes.

Therefore, if you want to deal with the Grand Master, it is best to get help from the temple. You can even take that magical temple for yourself.

Through research on the temple and cooperation with the temple, Emperor Qing at this time had already determined one thing: although the temple possessed extraordinary power.

But the temple itself is not omnipotent.

This means that whoever can find the temple is very likely to get everything in the temple.

On the other hand, it starts with the training of grand masters.

In this regard, Qing State has a unique advantage.

They have Fan Bin.

Fan Bin's research on the method of cultivation has reached the pinnacle.

Emperor Qing is very much looking forward to seeing how many surprises the Tongtian Academy founded by Fan Bin will bring him in the future.

At this time, Emperor Qing also misjudged his own strength.

He fought with Fan Bin, who was disguised as Si Gu Jian.

Although he was hit by Fan Bin's sword during this process, he was seriously injured, and the assassin fled in front of him.

Emperor Qing seriously reflected on this battle.

Based on his own reflection, he believed that with his current strength, he had a considerable advantage when facing a grandmaster.

The reason why he was injured was that he was unable to keep Fan Bin.

One very important reason for this is that he has too little combat experience.

With the experience of this battle, the next time Emperor Qing faces a grandmaster, he will definitely not be as defeated as he is now.

And this is just the beginning for Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing did not have 100% trust in the method of cultivation advancement given to him by the temple.

He hesitated for a while, and finally, seeing that the situation was not good, he chose to practice.

Judging from the results of his current practice, he is very satisfied with the achievements.

To put it bluntly, Emperor Qing has, to some extent, broken the shackles of the Grand Master.

Although Emperor Qing has not yet broken through to the Grand Master level and become a master above the Grand Master.

But with the current method of cultivation, Emperor Qing believes that this day will definitely come.

As long as he could become a master above the Grandmaster level, Emperor Qing naturally felt that even if there were a few more Grandmasters in the world, it wouldn't matter.

During this process, the chief priest of the temple once revealed to him that the reason why Emperor Qing had the opportunity to break through to the level of Grandmaster was because of the right time, right place, and right people.

Even if it is a temple, it is difficult to copy another one.

Emperor Qing himself also believed this.

On the one hand, he feels that his current achievements fully prove that he is definitely unique.

On the other hand, the messengers sent by the temple are not particularly powerful.

To ordinary people, those messengers are naturally like gods.

But for the grand masters, although it is difficult for them to deal with the temple messengers, it is not easy for the temple messengers to deal with them.

In other words, the strength of the temple messenger is roughly equivalent to that of a grandmaster.

It was with these in mind that Emperor Qing gave the order to Fan Bin.

"Anyone you like in Qing country can join Tongtian Academy. They can be teachers or students."

"Whatever Tongtian College requests, Qing Nation will support it with all its might."

"I have only one request, and that is to train more Grandmasters for my Qing Kingdom."

After hearing what Emperor Qing said, Fan Bin felt embarrassed.

He tried to test Emperor Qing's strength and stabbed him hard with his sword.

I didn’t expect that Emperor Qing would be so generous?

"His Majesty!"

"No need to say more, let's go back to the palace."

Emperor Qing was in high spirits.

According to Emperor Qing's original idea, he was absolutely unwilling to expose his strength as a grandmaster and make himself the target of public criticism.

But now, things have changed.

Emperor Qing's thoughts naturally changed accordingly.

Since his identity as the Grand Master could no longer be concealed, he had to do things in an upright manner.

First of all, he wanted a conspicuous target to draw people's attention away from himself.

Looking at Emperor Qing's leaving back, Fan Xian said with great emotion.

"Brother, your face is really getting thicker and thicker. You just stabbed him with a sword, how can you still have the nerve to accept such a big favor from him?"

Hearing Fan Xian's words, Fan Bin shook his head.

"You are an adult now. There are some things that I should not hide from you. It was indeed me who stabbed him with the sword. I even thought about going all out and stabbing our Majesty to death."

Fan Bin's tone was calm, but the expression on Fan Xian's face was as if he had experienced an earthquake.

"why?"

Although up to now, there are indeed some differences between their Fan family and Emperor Qing.

But no matter what, Emperor Qing was very nice to them before.

No matter what, it wouldn't really cost Emperor Qing his life, right?

"Do you know how your mother died?"

"Wasn't he killed by the old nobles of Kyoto? They included the current queen's mother's family, as well as some other big families."

As the Commissioner of the Inspection Institute, Fan Xian had obviously investigated the causes and consequences of the incident.

"Your Majesty is on an expedition, my father is accompanying him, and Dean Chen is also on a mission. Even Uncle Wu Zhu was led away by a mysterious person. Can those big families do it by themselves?"

Fan Bin snorted.

"You mean?"

Fan Xian asked hesitantly.

"You must have had your suspicions long ago, right? Although the case files are clear, who was the ultimate beneficiary after that incident?"

Fan Xian was very smart, so with a little guidance from Fan Bin, he figured out everything.

"The Ye Family Chamber of Commerce eventually became the royal treasury, and the Inspection Office became the eyes and ears of His Majesty..."

Ye Qingmei had made many great achievements back then.

But the two most important points are undoubtedly the Neiku and the Censorate.

One relied on inventions and manufacturing to control the world's financial power. The other was independent of the imperial court and became the most powerful department in the world.

Relying on these two things, Ye Qingmei can even control the entire Daqing.

"Your Majesty was the one who planned what happened back then. You were hunted down when you were still a baby. In order to get away with it, my biological second brother was used as your substitute by our mother."

"what?"

This was obviously the first time Fan Xian heard of this, and he opened his mouth in surprise.

In other words, the Fan family exchanged one of their sons for his chance to survive. "My mother died when I was very young. I didn't have a chance to ask her why she did that."

Fan Bin smiled bitterly.

By the time he regained his memory, the mother in this body was no longer there.

The reason why she made this choice in the first place? It is destined to be an unsolved mystery.

"So, he and you, brother, have a blood feud..."

Fan Xian's voice was very low.

"Then why didn't you just do it?"

"I don't know whether I should seek revenge or not."

Fan Bin said slowly, "He was just guiding me back then, and his target was you and your mother. It was my mother's choice to swap my second brother with you. I can't put all the blame on your majesty. Not to mention that up to now, your majesty has been pretty good to me."

Fan Xian nodded silently.

Having lived with his elder brother day and night since childhood, Fan Xian has a relatively good understanding of his elder brother's personality.

There is absolute clarity of gratitude and resentment.

From Fan Bin's point of view, it is indeed not in his character to kill Emperor Qing because of the previous events.

Fan Xian was also very conflicted.

Although he and Emperor Qing did have a deep blood feud, and Emperor Qing secretly plotted to kill his mother, but Emperor Qing himself was his father.

This is where Fan Xian’s inner struggle lies.

In his mind, he had never met his mother.

But deep down in his heart, he still recognized Ye Qingmei. In this case, if Emperor Qing was a vicious and evil person.

Even if the other party is his own father, Fan Xian will not hesitate. He can sacrifice his own father for the sake of justice.

But Emperor Qing obviously does not belong to this category.

From the time Fan Xian spent with Emperor Qing, he could still feel the love and care. Moreover, Emperor Qing's thoughts were also constrained by the shackles of this era.

As the emperors of this era, they would never tolerate the existence of Ye Family Chamber of Commerce and Ye Qingmei.

Heart to heart.

This point would be the same even if someone else sat in Emperor Qing's position.

They will never tolerate the existence of such forces and people.

"I……"

Fan Xian kept saying "I" for a long time but couldn't utter another word.

Fan Bin seemed to see through Fan Xian's thoughts. He smiled and said, "I have the same idea as you. I don't know whether I should take action or not."

"But don't worry, we can wait and see what our Majesty will do next."

"Brother, that's right."

This battle with Emperor Qing gave Fan Bin great inspiration.

Although Emperor Qing's One Finger Crossing Half the Lake and the Fist of the Kingly Way were both within Fan Bin's expectations.

However, Emperor Qing was so adept at using these two methods that it was obviously beyond his original strength.

This is Fan Bin. If it were another Grandmaster, even without Hong Sixiang as bait, Emperor Qing would probably be able to injure the other party.

Compared to ordinary grandmasters, his strength is obviously one level higher.

Before Fan Bin uses his trump card, he will still be restricted in every way.

"Temple?"

Through the methods demonstrated by Emperor Qing, Fan Bin can basically deduce how he did this.

This should be the method of cultivation that the temple gave to Emperor Qing.

"It is said that Grandmaster is already the limit. If there is another realm above this, then it is truly comparable to the immortals on earth!"

Ordinary people like to call the grandmaster a land immortal when describing him.

But the real Grand Masters certainly knew that although they could treat ordinary people as ants, they themselves were obviously not able to reach the level of land immortals.

It is only possible if we go to the next level.

Several grand masters before them all hit a bottleneck.

From the time they were promoted to Grandmaster, to the time they reached a certain stage, it came to an abrupt end.

This is why people feel that the oppressive feeling given by several grand masters is similar.

In a way, this feeling is correct.

The four great masters before were indeed trapped in the same realm, and their overall strength was almost the same.

Even Fan Bin, strictly speaking, is similar to several masters.

The reason why his strength is superior is mainly because he uses true Qi to transform his body, giving him a stronger foundation.

But Emperor Qing is different. He obviously got the method to break through to the Grandmaster level.

"It's better to find a way to get it from Emperor Qing..."

Fan Bin knew it clearly in his mind, he was just thinking about it.

It is probably impossible to find an opportunity to go deep into the palace and steal the secret books.

After Emperor Qing obtained the secret book, he most likely destroyed it directly.

After all, he had suffered losses in this regard, and every failure taught him a lesson.

Fan Bin told Fan Xian that he didn't need to think so much during this period.

Just follow the pace they originally set.

If one day in the future, they really want to take action against Emperor Qing.

At the very least, they should have enough capital. Even if that day doesn't come, it's good to be prepared.

"I know what to do."

After Fan Xian left, Fan Bin planned to go into seclusion to sort out his gains.

Although the cheats can't be obtained.

But through Emperor Qing's various behaviors, it is not difficult for Fan Bin to infer some clues.

Fan Bin had come across countless methods of cultivating true Qi. Although the cultivation methods of several great masters were very bold and novel...

But overall, no matter how things change, they remain essentially the same.

Even Fan Bin himself had made various deductions and guesses about his future cultivation.

Combined with Emperor Qing’s performance.

It's like doing a problem and eliminating the wrong answers.

As long as you put enough effort, you will gain a lot...

Of course, before that, he had to meet another person.

When Fan Bin arrived at the Inspection Institute, Chen Pingping had obviously been waiting for him for a long time.

"I have heard that Your Majesty is indeed a great master. This is truly a blessing for me!"

The smile on Chen Pingping's face didn't look fake at all.

This old fox's acting skills have really reached the level of perfection.

You know, no matter what Chen Pingping guessed before, it was just a guess in the end.

Now, it is proven that Emperor Qing is the most mysterious grandmaster.

The truth of the matter then came to light.

The one who planned to kill Ye Qingmei was none other than Emperor Qing.

Chen Pingping looked normal, but one of his hands subconsciously pulled the trigger on the wheelchair.
