Chapter 301: There is a Swing on this Side of the Wall, and th
The sky was turning white, and the early winds of ht was still diarbed in thick, rugged clothing A steel pike was affixed to his waist, and a black cloth ht of him seemed as if he was a part of sole sound could be heard, and his being there was almost ethereal If a servant were to walk by, it'd be surprising if they took notice of the figure
Fan Xian, now seeing this family ht about how long it had been since they last saw each other His heart was clutched by an unfa He wanted to strike this person down, but he knew doing such a thing would be impossible, and he wouldn't have the talent to beat him He also wondered if he wanted to run into his arms and cry But this Wu Zhu was not a person of sentiments
Fan Xian sis of happiness he was feeling He walked towards the man and noticed that Wu Zhu's hand clutched a s As he walked closer, he noticed it ood that he was carving
”Luckily, it is not the statue of a wo Tanhua, that villainous character Li Xunhuan” The yard was quiet Fan Xian suppressed his desire to laugh and said, ”I would throw up!”
Wu Zhu nodded in surprise He responded, ”Li Xunhuan; that person truly is obscene”
Now, Fan Xian was the one as surprised A while of silence elapsed between them, but then he said, ”You know Li Xunhuan?”
Wu Zhu placed the wooden figure into a pocket with the knife and coldly replied, ”The lady used to tell me this tale, and she always hated that character”
Fan Xian laughed and said, ”It seems like I really am my mother's son”
After a while, they both retreated to theparticularly intriguing about the place, which would spark curious snoopers to go poke about there, but everyone knew not to get close unless they had been summoned by Fan Xian Even Minister Fan abided by this rule
”Let's talk In this past half year, what have you been up to you?” Without a doubt, Fan Xian was overwhelmed with curiosity over what Wu Zhu had been up to since his disappearance and what he had been doing over the course of that tiht of the wooden chip he was carving, shocking news such as this should co tale to hear of, for sure At this ti around his body like a bunch of blind, terrified rats It also seeotten to ask what he could do to stay alive with this rampant zhenqi He stared into Wu Zhu's eyes
Fan Xian poured hiht before He did not offer a cup to Wu Zhu because he did not drink tea
”I have been up north” Wu Zhu stopped to think about it, almost as if he had to recall the places he had been ”And then I went to the south”
Fan Xian had long gotten used to his uncle's abnorue and lame answer did not bother him too , ”What were you doing up north? And ere you doing down south?”
”I went to the north in order to find Ku Hei” Wu Zhu said this quietly, as if he sought to evade unfriendly ears He thought that if this news spread, it would shock a lot of people ”I fought him and then went down south to find soed that it randht of a question to ask He furrowed his eyebroith concern and caringly asked, ”Are you okay?”
Wu Zhu looked at his left shoulder and said, ”I was injured there The wound has healed now, though”
What he said caravity to as spoken He had fought Haitang before, so he could irandant about the affair, particularly due to the fact he had ed to injure his opponent, he knew that a price would have had to have been paid for the opportunity He did pay a price with the injury he incurred, but as long as he was fine now, everything was okay
”Why did you do this?” Fan Xian frowned
Wu Zhu responded, ”If he was in the Northern Qi Kingdoht he may have posed a hindrance to you” Fan Xian nodded to these words If Ku Hei was still in the capital when Fan Xian was there, gauging fro down the power of the Northern Qi Kingdoather as much useful information as he did before Xiao En died
Wu Zhu continued by saying, ”I think I used to know Ku Hei quite a bit So I also went to visit him in the hope I could catch up on what occurred back in the day”
Fan Xian all of a sudden raised his head He looked at his uncle with a profound look of shock His mind quickly flashed back to thehiht, before his death He furrowed his eyebrows once more and quietly said to himself, Maybe my uncle really does know Ku Hei? Or at least he did back when they were younger
Fan Xian then told Wu Zhu about everything that happened with hier the recollection of certain important memories his uncle may have lost In particular, the connection between Wu Zhu and the Holy Te, he heard Wu Zhu say that he and his ed to escape from the house Was the house in fact the Holy Temple?
Wu Zhu then returned to silence and remained that way for some time He did not hold his head in a meditative fashi+on like a novel would usually describe He looked to be in pain, and he scratched his head, looking as if he could not re After a while, all he could say was, ”I do not remember”
Noas Fan Xian's turn to scratch his head He lowered his head and mumbled, ”What is this called?” He shook his head and forcefully res of disappointment in his heart and asked, ”Why did you not return to the capital following your injury? If you were already injured, why did you continue on down south in search of someone else? Is Ye Liuyun down south?”
Wu Zhu coldly shook his head and said, ”There are problems in the south After I made sure Ku Hei knew about me, I went south to try and look for that person who has problems But I could not find him”
Fan Xian felt even more perplexed For the past half a year, Fan Xian had been busy in the north and south, unaware that his uncle had been just as busy and not resting as he should have been He had gone to the Northern Qi Kingdo his wiped memories He had also traversed across the south in search of a family member But if Ku Hei knew Wu Zhu… Xiao En once said what Ku Hei has today must bear a connection to his trip to the Holy Temple Back then, Ku Hei knew Fan Xian's mother But at that time, his mother ith Wu Zhu
That ”person with a problem” in the south? Who could that be? Fan Xian's ht be He recalled a certain case that he received whilst in Fanjing To the south of the Qing Kingdom, there were reports of a cold-blooded serial killer, and it was soyun took seriously He was even prepared to request the assistance of nuer Guards from the Emperor to join him in a hunt for the murderer But if this was the person Wu Zhu was also after, a person who he failed to find, he could only assuyun's own search would be just as fruitless
He took a deep breath and put aside his thoughts and s of topics that could not affect him at this moment He then proceeded to tell Wu Zhu of what he had been up to for the past half a year He even disclosed to Wu Zhu the secret agree, but was disheartened by his lack of response to this
Fan Xian also knew, ever since he was young, that Wu Zhu was not one to give cos had happened, from the death of Xiao En to the ruin of the second prince; shouldn't he have at least give soe Fan Xian was a little demoralized by his lack of response, and decided to say so He said, ”These are but sht with the second prince was little round quarrel when compared to the affairs of Wu Zhu and the Eards to the secret agree that would have interested the E to Wu Zhu Fan Xian understood this eventually, and he began to laugh in self-ht hand and said, ”Recently,like mad I need you to take a look at it”
Wu Zhu already knew that the zhenqi inside Fan Xian was raging fiercely, but despite the threat this posed, his calm composure was not disrupted He then said, ”I haven't learnt about an issue such as this before; I don't knohat to do”
This was a matter of life and death for Fan Xian, and this reaction finally tipped hie He was made mad and with a deepened voice, he told Wu Zhu, ”This proble but safe I was a newborn when you made me learn it What if this kills me?”
”The lady said that this would be for the best” Wu Zhu continued coldly, ”And someone had successfully learnt it before”
