Chapter 566
Fan Xian stood in the doorway of the Taiping Courtyard and glanced sideways at the faint green insideAfter he said those words, he said nothing moreThe dozen Xinyan aces looked at him with faces full of astonishdouHow could this Overwatch Council Commissioner, who should have been trapped in the Royal Palace, suddenly appear in front of Taiping Courtyard's door?
A gust of wind breezed through the bamboo woods and slowly re aces gave a low roar and charged toward Fan Xian, who furrowed his brows and retreatedHis left arm seemed to twist and stretch outHis fist suddenly opened when extended to the extreainst the ace's face
Although it wasn't a solid slap, it still caused the ace to lose half his teeth and blood flow freelyHe fell to the ground and fainted
Fan Xian rose to his toesTyrannical zhenqi surged out of his body as he shrunkLike a faint shadow, he charged out of the circleLooking at the people gnashi+ng their teeth and charging toward hihtly
Just as Sir Yan junior had said when they first dou was like an ereatest threat to hiardless of whether they were aces fro ninth-level sword yi, they were all drawn to the jade-like nets
There were only three people ere of the ninth-rank in JingdouThe old Qin Master had already died, and Ye Zhong was on his sideFan Xian had the confidence that as long as he didn't sink into the rebel army, ould be able to kill hi where Wan'er and Da Bao were, so he didn't dare to attackThus, he took another ga CourtyardPerhaps it was soant, but it was actually a form of helplessnessWhen it came to the Eldest Princess's tricks, the sinister and surly Fan Xian could only temporarily shed his tyrannical behavior and seek a different path
The Xinyang aces did not know that Sir Fan junior was preparing to attack them verballyIn their shock, they attacked with all their strengthWhen they came face to face, someone became heavily injuredNo one knehat kind of bloody battle would follow
The aces charging toward Fan Xian abruptly stopped their stepsThe bows and arrows extending out of the walls of Taiping Courtyard also raised the heads of their arrowsThey were no longer aimed at Fan XianHis eyes narrowed as he looked at the bows and arrowsInvoluntarily, his heart felt coldHowever, life was full of too sIf he wanted Wan'er and Da Bao to be safe, then he had to go around this tiger-infestedthe courtyardCountless eyes, whether in the open or in secret, watched his every moveIf he made any unusualtruly start
The elegant and faint sound of a guqin traveled throughout Taiping CourtyardThe sound was as flowing as water, cleansing and cal the listener feel at ease and comfortable
…
…
Since the Eldest Princess had already used the sound of the guqin to give an order, then the aces across Taiping Courtyard would not obstruct his entryThere was boundless confusion in their heartsWhy was Her Highness allowing Fan Xian to go in? Did she not kno terrifying he was? Why didn't she take advantage of his solo approach to kill him?
The dozen people slowly escorted, or watched, Fan Xian through Taiping Courtyard's ateThey then stopped in front of the second platform, which was prohibited landWithout the Eldest Princess's personally command, no one was to enter
Fan Xian stood in front of the wooden platform and looked at the wooden planks with his head downThere were gaps between themHe could see the clear river water belowAt this part in Taiping Courtyard, the Liujing River was separated by a stone path fro waterAs flat as a lake, the surface of the water seemed to always be caluqin sounds co from the internal courtyard across from the platform entered his earsHe lowered his head to look at the floater and cocked his ear to hear the sound of the guqinIt was as if he wanted to deter
A moment later, he carefully tidied his clothes and stepped onto the bridgeHe walked calmly to the island and pushed open the wooden doors to the internal courtyardHe raised his eyes to the wouqin in the pavilion in the center of the lakeWrapping his hand around his fist, he lifted it and bowed respectfully, ”Greetings, Your Highness”
There was not the slightest pause froThe slender and pale hands moved across the instrument just as calmly as before
Li Yunrui had her head down and sees of the guqinOnly her wrists were slightly weightedHer fingertip slid to the rightCompared to the faint ant
An autu ripples in the waterThe green rocks by the lake and low hill were reflected beautifully in the waterThe pavilion was on a hillThe person and guqin were not in the pavilionInstead, they were a the flowers and treesOn the trees, the staht and powderyThe autumn wind blew across the clear water and stroked across the tip of the flowering branchesThe wateron the Eldest Princess' wide-sleeved clothing like they were adorned with a slightly darker flower shadow
Fan Xian calmly watched that spot and saw Li Yunrui's calm and quiet appearance, which still could not hide her charmThe Eldest Princess had not put on thickbrows, yet her natural aura filled the courtyardA head full of beautiful and long black hair was spread out behind her shoulders, tied back with a silk scarfIt looked beautiful and relaxed
She played the guqin with her head downHer eyelids were slightly loweredHer long eyelashes gently lay on her jade-like skinIt made Fan Xian involuntarily think of the eyes his wife had inherited froe, then any e this woman's charm
Fan Xian followed stones on the bank of the lake and walked overNarrowing his eyes slightly at the uqin continued to buzz lowly and occasionally ju that she already knew of this matter and there was no need to speakhas died” Fan Xian stared at her hands and said quietly
Two fingers on Li Yunrui's right hand slid past the fourth string and pressed doiceThe guqin below her fingers made a leisurely sound
Fan Xian didn't hesitate at allForging ahead in a plain but forceful tone, he said ”Qin Ye has also died
Li Yunrui still did not raise her headHowever, the speed at which the seven stringsa sorrowful soundThe guqin was elegantIt had sorrow but no painA faint sense of yearning was plainly visibleOne could grasp the Eldest Princess' e of her wide sleeves behind her hands
Suddenly, the sound of the instruers flicked quickly, but the range of sounds were still constrained to one regionThe speed gave the piece, which should have been filled with vicious currents, a coed a sense of pureness
Only someone filled with confidence could play the correct sound
Fan Xian had already walked into the trees and flowers to her sideHe lowered his head and looked at the strings that rose and felt like wavesSuddenly, he said, ”Everyone says that I a aboutinto this is probably like that saying of playing guqin to a cow”
Li Yunrui probably had heard that phrase, but her head res, intoxicated and with no ties to her heartNo one knehich soulthis piece toIt was only a coincidence that Fan Xian had co at this time
Fan Xian had thick skin and never knehat shyness wasSeeing that she was ignoring hily and plunked himself down next to herThen, he turned to her profile and said, very naturally, ”Ye Zhong defected”
Abruptly, a chaotic buzzing sound ca across the lake, hills, and flowersThe string on the guqin struggled for a moment, then three of them snapped
The Eldest Princess slowly raised her head and looked into Fan Xian's eyesIn only an instant, she had recovered her calood news”
Through these few years, the Eldest Princess and Fan Xian had each stood on their own sides, cole between the courtIt was quite remarkable that Fan Xian and her had not reatest enemy, yet they were not very faood news, ood news,” Fan Xian said quietlyHis gaze casually scanned his surroundingsUnfortunately, he didn't aze diently resting on the guqin with the broken stringsBoth her eyes were slightly closedHer already pale skin see to beco red blush was nowhere to be found
She had indeed not expected Fan Xian's sudden appearance at Taiping CourtyardFan Xian had moved too quicklyThe people she had left in the rebel ardou yetHowever, she already faintly felt that there was a probleainst him at the first instanceInstead, she had let him come in to see how the second half of the story would happen
Furthermore, she held Fan Xian's life in her handsShe did not care about what remarkable powers her son-in-law had
Fan Xian's four truths, one after another, had caused the Eldest Princess's heart to finally loosenAlthough she had already guessed Yan Xiaoyi's death after Fan Xian appeared in Jingdou, her heart still dimmed involuntarily as she heard the confirmation fro been her trusted confidant, pro and Qin Ye's death ht that the situation in Jingdou would become like thisFan Xian's last sentence ry
She was only angry for aher eyes, she pouted as she expelled her breath and was so uess what has happened in Jingdou” Fan Xian lowered his head slightlyHe and the Eldest Princess both knew the reason he dared to come alone into the courtyard and the reason she had let him in was because they each held the other's life in their handsNeither of them wanted to end all of the possibilities in the first instance
The Eldest Princess had Wan'er and Da BaoFan Xian had obtained an irreversible advantage in Jingdou
Li Yunrui suddenly lowered her headHer wide sleeves hid the broken guqinHer light-colored clothing at her shoulders trembled with her movementsShe appeared pitiful
”I have coo”
Li Yunrui heard his words and suddenly raised her headShe stared at Fan Xian with an apathetic look and didn't speakAlthough her eyes were apathetic, Fan Xian could see a marrow-deep resentment in themThis resenth hio? What right do you have to say those tords to ht petal fro's betrayal… That is indeed beyond my expectationsHowever, since you have come, what do I need to worry about? Perhaps many people fear your martial ability, brains, and the Overwatch Council, only I have never worried about your existence fro”
Fan Xian remained silent
”Everyone thinks that you are ruthless and vicious under your bright exterior” The Eldest Princess looked at hily”I have to admit, you've faked it quite well these years in the Overwatch CouncilEveryone thinks that in the face of great personal interest, you would becoe those closest to youHowever, I know you have never been that way”
