Chapter 34 Shadow
However, just as he was about to make up his mind.
A sliver of reason pulled him back from the brink of rage.
He can't make a move lightly!
His identity as a Grandmaster is his biggest secret, and also his most important trump card to counterbalance the other three Grandmasters and realize the grand ambition of unifying the world in Daqing!
If we were to expose our true strength for the sake of Ye Tian, who is not yet fully grown, it would be a huge loss!
Moreover, Ye Tian is now deeply favored by Li Yunrui.
Li Yunrui also controls the Qing Kingdom's internal treasury.
If I were to rashly attack Ye Tian, it would inevitably provoke a fierce counterattack from Li Yunrui, and might even shake the foundations of the nation!
And that old dog Chen Pingping!
He was extremely loyal to Ye Qingmei, and if he had known that Ye Qingmei was going to take action against him, he would never have stood idly by!
At that time, the entire Qing Kingdom will probably be plunged into great turmoil!
"call,"
Emperor Qing let out a long sigh of relief, trying to calm his raging emotions.
He knew he couldn't act rashly.
At least, not until we are absolutely certain.
He sat back on the dragon throne, his eyes gradually regaining their former depth and tranquility.
However, hidden deep within those calm eyes was a killing intent that was more intense and colder than ever before!
"Hong Sixiang".
Emperor Qing spoke calmly.
"This old servant is here," Hong Sixiang replied hastily.
"Issue my decree."
"Ye Tian's trip to Jiangnan to inspect the canal transport is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly."
"Order the Kyoto garrison and the Imperial Guard to secretly dispatch a team of elite troops to 'protect' Envoy Ye's safety along the way."
"Make sure that he can 'successfully' reach Jiangnan and 'successfully' complete the task I have assigned him."
Emperor Qing deliberately emphasized the words "protect" and "smoothly".
Upon hearing this, Hong Sixiang felt a chill run down his spine!
He knew that His Majesty was trying to use someone else to do his dirty work!
Ostensibly, they were sending people to protect him, but in reality, it was for surveillance and control!
Even, when necessary, it can be replaced!
What a brilliant move! Killing two birds with one stone!
"This old servant obeys the decree," Hong Sixiang replied respectfully, but inwardly he was sweating bullets for Ye Tian, who was only thirteen years old.
This child is simply too extraordinary.
The arrival of this monstrous being even filled His Majesty with deep apprehension and fear.
His future will likely be filled with endless hardships and dangers.
As Emperor Qing watched Hong Sixiang's departing figure, a complex light flashed in his eyes.
Killing is not an option for now.
However, we cannot allow him to grow up so recklessly.
We must think of a way.
We must keep him firmly under our control!
even,
A bold and crazy idea suddenly arose in Emperor Qing's mind.
If, if we could recruit Ye Tian to our side...
Let him become a sharp knife in your hand.
One knife, to deal with those old guys, and also, knives from other countries.
Wouldn't that be even better?
Once this thought arose, it spread like wildfire, instantly occupying all of Emperor Qing's mind.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed!
Although Ye Tian is Ye Qingmei's son, he is still young.
As long as you use enough kindness and severity, plus some clever methods.
It's not impossible; we can make him forget his hatred and use him for our own purposes!
At that time, I will have another trump card in my hand!
One trump card, enough to change the entire world order!
"Hehe, hehehehe,"
Emperor Qing let out a low, meaningful laugh.
Ye Tian, oh Ye Tian,
You must not disappoint me!
And then,
I have prepared an even bigger game for you!
·······················
Just as Kyoto was experiencing turmoil and undercurrents due to Ye Tian's extraordinary performance.
In Danzhou, far away on the border of Nanqing, another young man, who is related to Ye Qingmei by blood, is also experiencing his own "adventure".
Fan Xian, the boy who was rescued from a mountain of corpses by Wu Zhu and lived peacefully for thirteen years under the protection of the old lady of the Fan family, has now grown into a handsome young man.
Although his appearance was not as stunningly handsome as Ye Tian's.
But he was also handsome and refined, with a hint of precocious intelligence and a touch of roguishness between his brows.
During these thirteen years, Wu Zhu spent most of his time like a shadow, hiding in the dark.
However, he never relaxed his guidance of Fan Xian.
He passed on to Fan Xian the supreme martial arts technique called "Overbearing True Qi" left behind by Ye Qingmei, as well as some basic martial arts principles.
Fan Xian also demonstrated martial arts talent far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Not only did he grasp the cultivation method of domineering true qi in a very short time, but he also applied what he learned to other situations, mastering those seemingly simple martial arts moves to perfection.
Besides Wu Zhu's personal instruction, Fan Xian also discovered that he always seemed to be surrounded by some mysterious figures.
Sometimes, a lame, blind old man would "inadvertently" reveal some secret information about the Control Yuan, as well as some shady methods of dealing with people.
Sometimes, a taciturn but highly skilled man in black will "coincidentally" come to his aid when he is in danger, and subtly teach him a few life-saving techniques.
Although Fan Xian is young, he is exceptionally perceptive.
He knew that the appearance of these people was by no means accidental.
There must be a huge secret hidden behind them.
A secret closely related to his mother, Ye Qingmei.
And most of these people come from the mysterious and powerful Overwatch Council!
It was Chen Pingping, the legendary director who had a close relationship with his mother and now controlled the entire Censorate, who sent him to secretly cultivate him!
This discovery filled Fan Xian's heart with curiosity and a hint of inexplicable anticipation.
He knew that his fate would not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.
He also knew that the path he was about to take was destined to be extraordinary.
Under Wu Zhu's guidance and the covert cultivation of those "mysterious big shots" in the Overwatch Council.
Fan Xian's martial arts skills improved by leaps and bounds, progressing by leaps and bounds in a single day!
Although he is not yet able to reach the terrifying peak of the ninth rank like Ye Tian at the age of thirteen.
But he has already successfully broken through to the eighth rank and become a true master!
If this achievement were in an ordinary family, it would already be enough to make them a martial arts prodigy who brings glory to their ancestors and is famous in the region!
.
On this day, Fan Jian's trusted confidant, sent from the capital, arrived in Danzhou, travel-worn and weary.
He not only brought some major events that had recently occurred in Kyoto, but also a piece of news that was enough to shock Fan Jian to the point of utter disbelief!
Ye Tian, the adopted son of Princess Li Yunrui and another son of Ye Qingmei, actually possessed the terrifying strength of the peak of the ninth rank at the age of thirteen!
Furthermore, in a highly anticipated competition, he defeated Yan Xiaoyi, a renowned ninth-rank archer in the capital, in one move!
When Fan Jian heard the news, the teacup in his hand slipped and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces!
His face showed the same disbelief, shock, and horror as when he first met Ye Tian by the river!
"Nine, the peak of the ninth rank?!"
"Thirteen years old, at the peak of the ninth rank?!"
Fan Jian's voice trembled slightly, almost uncontrollably.
He simply couldn't believe his ears!
This Ye Tian, this child who looks exactly like Qingmei,
Unbelievable! This prodigy has reached such a monstrous level?!
Is this...is this even human?!
This is simply divine intervention!
"As expected, as expected of Qingmei's son!"
Fan Jian muttered to himself, his eyes filled with endless emotion and a hint of inexplicable pride.
He thought of Ye Qingmei from back then.
That woman, equally brilliant and radiant.
That woman who changed his life.
Today, one of her two sons is making waves in Kyoto and is famous throughout the world.
One person quietly grew up in Danzhou, gradually revealing their talent.
They all inherited her extraordinary talent, as well as her destiny of not being content with the ordinary.
"Qingmei, if you are watching from heaven, you would surely be pleased to see how outstanding Tian'er and Xian'er are."
Fan Jian's eyes were slightly red. .
He knew that back then, for various reasons, he had failed to protect Ye Qingmei, causing her to die young in a foreign land.
This is a pain that will never fade in his heart, a regret that he can never make up for in his lifetime.
Now, Ye Qingmei's two sons have grown up.
He cannot let them repeat the same mistake!
He would give everything he had to protect them!
Help them!
Let them be able to fulfill their mother's unfinished dream!
This will also allow them to seek justice for their mother!
"Someone come here!"
Fan Jian suddenly stood up, a determined glint in his eyes.
"Go and call Xian'er over here!"
He decided it was time to tell Fan Xian something.
Some things, about his mother, about his brother, and about the path he will take in the future.
He believed that with Fan Xian's intelligence and precociousness, he would surely understand his good intentions.
He will certainly be able to shoulder the responsibilities and mission that belong to him!
A new storm is brewing in Danzhou.
And Fan Xian's fate will begin from this moment.
A tremendous change has taken place!
···········
Fan Jian took a deep breath and tried to calm his still somewhat agitated emotions.
He knew that this news was not only a huge shock to him, but would probably be even more shocking to another person!
"Go and invite Mr. Wuzhu over."
Fan Jian gave instructions to the butler beside him.
He knew that although Wu Zhu was elusive and unpredictable, he was still a formidable opponent.
But within the Fan residence, there are always ways to contact him.
Before long, a black figure appeared silently in Fan Jian's study, like a ghost.
It was Wu Zhu.
He was still dressed the same as always, with a black cloth blindfold, dressed in all black, and his posture was straight, like a javelin.
He exuded a cold aura that kept strangers at bay.
"Lord Fan, what is it?"
Wu Zhu's voice remained calm and emotionless.
He exuded a cold aura that kept strangers at bay.
"Lord Fan, what is it?"
Wu Zhu's voice remained calm and emotionless.
Looking at Wu Zhu in front of him, Fan Jian couldn't help but feel a surge of inexplicable emotions.
So many years have passed, and Wu Zhu seems to have not changed at all.
He remained the same loyal and silent shadow who silently protected Ye Qingmei's bloodline.
