Chapter 107: Moonlight in the Mountains

Teng Zijing glanced at wang Qinian, who always stood quietly behind Fan Xian He felt that the air hich he carried hiuards in the manor, he said in a low voice Fan Xian looked hi Qinian I now hold a position within the Overwatch Council - don't tell anyone” Teng Zijing was taken aback He looked at Fan Xian again with a changed expression After all, he never could have i master he had decided to folloould, after only a few et himself mixed up with that den of vipers

Fan Xian called over wang Qinian and introduced hi Zijing to you before You should get to know each other He saved 's dark face, and he waved his hand dis Master, you speak too kindly You were the one to actually save my life that day”

wang Qinian cupped his hands in salute and s, he was very satisfied with the situation Not only had he successfully returned to the Overwatch Council, but even more crucially, his salary had risen considerably He had been granted a personal audience with the Director He had never received this sort of treatment in all the years since he had taken up his position Although Master Fan was an eighth-level Functionary of Taichang Temple, he carried the token of a commissioner - apart from the team he was in command of, only Mu Tie and the jailer knew of this; no one else are Having this secret authority in his hands made him feel comfortable

They ate ga had said that there was little good food around the estate, but as the grease swirled in the boiling pot, the etables for soup, was utterly delicious Even Fan Sizhe's appetite was satisfied, and he wolfed it down as if no one atching Fan Xian looked at him with amusement as he popped a chunk of meat into his mouth The meat was extraordinarily tender, but there was a clear layer between the skin and the tendons that was extremely chewy Full of praise, he couldn't help but ask, ”is this muntjac deer or what?”

Teng Zijing's wife called over fro Fan Xian's question, she quickly responded: ”It's moose meat”

Hearing this, Fan Xian was surprised He placed his chopsticks in front of hiotten about them, and within a o, before he even arrived in Danzhou He was lying on his sick bed, thinking constantly about how he had wanted to eatnurse had poked fun at his odd desires - in his old life, Fan Shen had never eaten ame ly returned afresh Fan Xian had not thought about his old life for a long while But unexpectedly, today's s

Fan Ruoruo ate se look on her brother's face, she orried ”What is it?” she asked

Fan Xian i” He turned to ask Teng Zijing whether they ht in theconfiret hold of a few pounds of the stuff to bring back to the capital Teng Zijing never thought that the food prepared that day would be so in line with the young master's tastes He was also very happy

Fan Xian took up his wine goblet and drank a round along with the others at the table He s, your wound is still yet to heal fully; you shouldn't drink tooto his side, Fan Ruoruo looked at her brother and

smiled It seemed like she was ashauess at what he was thinking Apart fro dried ive so eaten his dinner, Fan Sizhe - rather oddly - retired to his roo at the accounts Fan Xian truly did not knoas so enjoyable about accounting, and how this little tyrant, at 12 or 13 years of age, had suddenly wrested control of te nuo

Refusing Teng Zijing's request to accompany him on his crutches, he led Fan Ruoruo out of the courtyard and into a furrow of the fields, looking at the round ap in the distant hills Above their heads, the trees rustled, though he did not knohat sort of trees they were It was a beautiful scene

”I dream of past lives and doubt whether it is a drearow rich” Fan Xian was thinking about the hing with regret, he unthinkingly recited two sentences ”Man's tih one hundred generations Heaven and earth and all things are as a guest-house, and life is but a long drea in that bed, drea a dream from which I cannot awaken”

He sighed, knowing that his sister probably could not understand what he was talking about However, he had forgotten the transcendent sentiments hidden within the poet Li Bai's words, and the power that they could have on a young woh, Fan Ruoruo's eyes sparkled

Fan Xian immediately realized he had made a mistake He looked distressed, and prepared to explain that what he had said was all the work of the official Li Bai, but he suddenly rehed quietly and did ahat other people ht have seen as an affectation, but what he saw as a natural movement He also knew that his little sister would not believe what he was saying After all, the Overwatch Council had arrested a number of poets like Xin Qiji, but there was no salt-peddler a Ruoruo tight and look at the moon with her
