Zhuang Feifei opened his mouth, so surprised that he didn"t know what to say. Meanwhile, An Zhe had already left as if nothing had happened.

Zhuang Feifei"s eyes suddenly reddened as she watched An Zeng slowly walk down the stairs.

I had a brother, and we lived together.

Later on …

Zhuang Feifei"s tears rolled down her cheeks silently, and she stood there in a daze for a long time.

When he returned to the sect, the sky was still bright. He was holding an oilskin bag filled with pig head meat that he had bought on the way back. There were also a few roasted meat pieces that had just left the pot.

It is impossible for a man who has not eaten the pig"s head to put it in a scalding fire and wait a minute or two before eating it.

When An Xin got home, she gave the fire and pig head meat to Gu Qianye and Qu Liuxi. The two little girls then carried them to look for Little Seven.

The thin man pursed his lips. ""l.u.s.t over your friends!""

""Did you go out last night and buy some skewers?""

Thin Du"s face reddened. ""Didn"t I not disturb you just because you were cultivating … Besides, you don"t like things like Yang Bao.""

""I don"t like it, but you can"t not buy it for me!""

""That guy looks like he"s a scholar no matter how you look at him. He"s already been standing there for half an hour and he"s not moving at all.""

An Zeng walked over and sat on the stone bench under the tree. ""What"s wrong?""

There are too many people here who aren"t used to it? ""

Gu Zhaogong shook his head. ""No, although I"ve lived alone since I was eleven years old, I still like to irritate people in my heart.

""After eleven years of age, you can only stand in the yard and watch other people"s families light up and see other children set off fireworks. That"s why I especially want to live in a big yard in the future and make a big ruckus.""

""They are all rough men, just like me,"" he argued.

So you may feel a little sick and you"ll be fine for a while. You"ll like them when you know them. ""

Gu Xiangtong nodded, then sat down and said, ""Everyone in this courtyard is very different.""

""What"s different?""

""I can"t say, this place is a bustling market, but I feel like this is a paradise.""

""There"s no reason and I can"t explain it. This is how I feel.""

An Zhan smiled, ""That"s because there"s no dispute between our own people here.""

Gu Chao said in unison, ""Hmm … Right, I"ve measured Xiao Qidao"s knowledge. There"s nothing more to teach him about the basics.""

At his age, he was already unable to find words that he didn"t recognize. It was truly valuable.

""I purposely found some unfamiliar words. Most of the adults, even the scholars, might not be able to recognize them. He would even recognize them.""

An Xuan said, ""Xiao Qishan is pure. I don"t want you to teach him something dark, but I hope you can let him know something dark.""

Gu Zhaogong was stunned for a moment. ""So difficult.""

""It"s really hard,"" said Anjou. ""The child is still a blank sheet of paper. Whatever you draw on it, it"s what it is.

Xiao Qidao is very important to me, just like my little brother.

""If the things you teach make him think too far, and he walks the evil path, I will kill you.""

Gu Chao said with a bitter smile, ""All of a sudden, I feel that it"s been very difficult to get three meals a day.""

After a moment of silence, An Zhan said, ""Ask Mister a question.""

Gu Zhaogong knew that An Zaiyue was considering himself, so he sat up straight and said, ""Esteemed Master, please ask.""

He did not know the ident.i.ty of the war for peace, so he had to call him Master.

An Xuan King said, ""Imperial servants are people without a doubt. There"s no need to doubt their views, so there"s no need to doubt them.""

Gu Chao said in unison, ""The royal family, I"m afraid there are countless lies they"ve told, and the person who used the words" without a doubt "is probably one of the most beautiful ones.""

The Emperor"s Heart Technique, how could it be of any use to others?

If the king says to his subject, ""I believe in you, I believe in you without a doubt,"" then he probably doesn"t believe in this person.

If he really believed her, why did he have to say it out loud?

The servants didn"t doubt him, but they trusted him more.

As for doubters who don"t use … Ordinary emperors, they would most likely do as they don"t trust, so of course they don"t use them.

The unusual emperors were divided into two types. One was the two emperors, the two emperors, the two emperors, the two emperors.

He was a servant of others, and there were no traces of him to be found. If he wanted to use it, he didn"t have to, and he didn"t want to see anything but how he felt.

""It"s only natural that Mingjun would suspect that this person is useful because the person he"s used is useful, but the emperor has absolute authority. Once he"s used it, he can only be killed.""

He asked, ""Why does the proprietor ask this question?""

An Zhan smiled, ""It"s nothing … You can see the darkness, but you speak clearly.""

""It might be a good choice to hand Xiao Qidao over to you.""

Gu Zhaogong felt that there was no way to compare the peaceful temperament with his age. It was very strange.

""Owner, if there"s nothing else, I will go prepare the tutorials for Xiao Qidao.""

""Sir, please wait.""

An Zhan asked, ""What do you think of the current situation of Great Yan?""

After a moment of silence, Gu Zhaogong sighed and said, ""Great Yan?""

I am a Swallow, so I can"t say much.

Just one sentence … If not for my parents" order that I must become an outstanding official in my life, I would rather make a small shop to count the money for fun.

Or, build a private school to be a teacher, to educate people for fun. ""

An Xuan said with a smile, ""Teacher"s two pleasures seem to be quite far apart.""

Gu Chao said in unison, ""Because I"m disappointed in Great Yan, I won"t be happy even as an official.""

He walked to his room, his back flat.

When night fell, An Zhe changed into a set of night clothes and left the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect alone.

He followed the clues given to him by Zhong Jiuge and then combined them with the clues given to him by the Gathering Merchant House. He planned to find out about Li Changlu"s private residences first.

Although Li Changlu hadn"t been doing business in the capital for a long time, and his true favorite was three or four years ago, no one could estimate how much wealth he had ama.s.sed in these few short years.

On the one hand, the blood-soaked generals led their meagre salaries, while on the other hand, people like Li Changlu plundered their personal belongings.

Gu Zhaogong had something he wanted to say when chatting with An Zaihai, but didn"t dare to say … The empress dowager"s henchmen would not be removed, and the Great Yan would not be revived.

An Zhan"s figure moved like a ghost through the darkness. Only in the dead of night did he dare to recklessly display his cultivation.

During these few years, the "Reverse Heaven Seal" had given him more time to cultivate than others by hundreds to thousands of times. Although others had spent more time cultivating in the outside world than he had in the "Reverse Heaven Seal", with the acc.u.mulation of time, their peaceful cultivation progress still exceeded that of most of their peers.

Although the Heaven Defying Seal would only help him less and less as his cultivation level increased, this kind of help could not be ignored.

Under the dark night sky, the silent battle continued, all the way through the streets and alleyways before finally coming to a stop on the rooftop of a wooden building.

The courtyard behind the wooden building was one of Li Changlu"s properties in the capital.

There was no light in the yard, and no one seemed to be living there.

However, An Zhe did not dare to show the slightest bit of carelessness. If Li Changlu really did hide a large amount of wealth and treasures in these houses, it was impossible for him to not have cultivators guarding him.

Compared to ordinary people, cultivators were far above them.

However, aloof cultivators didn"t necessarily mean that they were n.o.ble and n.o.ble.

Anything that could use money and treasures to drive ordinary people to do was something that could also be done by cultivators.

There is not so much love in the world, and it cannot be eaten as a meal.

An Zhan examined his equipment, and took the Bronze Bell with him. The Bloodpearl bracelet could summon out the scales of the holy fish for him at any time.

Not only that, but he also brought along the piece of Lava Jade that could be used to summon the members of Skyfire Palace. Of course, there was also one of the most valuable treasures of Skywater Palace, the personal magical equipment of the creator of Skyfire Palace, the depressing sword of one of the purple-rank divine artifacts.

The dim sword was different from the other purple grade divine artifacts. Not only did it have the quality of a purple grade divine weapon, it was also because of the sword intent that was sealed within it.

Naturally, this kind of powerful object would not be casually taken out to be used. Even when the Heavenly Temple was attacked by the Nether Realm and the stone spirits slaughtered without restraint, An Zaiyue did not use the Gloomy Sword.

An Zaiyue swept down from the wooden building. It was so light that it was like a falling leaf. It landed on the ground without a sound.

First he leaned close to the door and listened, but he could not feel a movement in the yard.

An Zeng frowned slightly. His many years of experience in the headquarter taught An Zhe one thing … The calmer the place seemed to be, the more incalculable the hidden danger would be.

In this exploration, An Zhe would rather not enter than alert the enemy.

This was one of Li Changlu"s houses. If he accidentally disturbed Li Changlu, he might not have a chance to make a move in the future.

An Zeng"s feet lightly tapped on the ground as his body flew up and landed in the courtyard.

The house was huge, with lots of flowers and trees planted in the front yard, but mostly low things, so although it was dark, it was still a good view for An Zhe.

Instead of walking down the aisle, he chose to approach the house from the gra.s.s.

If anyone were to see the conflict at this moment, they would definitely be so shocked that they would not be able to say a word.

His foot stepped on the gra.s.s, but the delicate gra.s.s actually did not bend.

An Zeng quietly approached the house, then stopped outside the window, his ears pressed against the window, and carefully paused for a moment.

Just when An Zeng was about to stand up straight, a long sword stabbed out from the window like a viper.

An Zeng heard the sound of the wind breaking as he flew backwards, and the person holding the sword also threw out a long sword from the window.

If he could slow down his movements by dozens of times, he would see that the sword"s tip was less than a centimeter away from An Zhe"s ears. An Zhe retreated while the person chased after him, and the sword was always a centimeter away from piercing through.

An Zeng forcefully twisted his body, avoiding the pursuit of the sword.

However, a person suddenly appeared out of the bushes behind him, thrusting his sword towards An Zeng"s back.

This person had a layer of gra.s.s covering him. He had been lying there before, so it was impossible for him to detect it.

A ma.s.s of dark clouds floated across the sky, blocking the already gloomy moonlight.

The darkness in the surroundings became even darker, and even the sword lost its cold light.

An Zeng relied on the slight sound of the wind to avoid the longsword on his back. He then dashed towards the door with a tap of his feet.

All of a sudden, a huge hole appeared under his feet. A door like object opened up, and An Zhe couldn"t help but fall down.

An Zeng reached out his hand and grabbed the turntable, his body taking advantage of the opportunity to rise up and roll to the side.

Wherever he landed, dozens of crossbow bolts shot out.

If An Zaiyue had been any slower by even a second, those crossbow bolts would have all been nailed into An Zhe"s body.

This was only one of Li Changlu"s houses, yet it was so heavily guarded.

An Xuan reached out his hand and pushed forward. A surge of power poured out, sending the crossbow arrows flying horizontally. The crossbow arrows were even faster than when they were shot out.

The pursuer flicked his wrist, the long sword knocked away all the crossbow arrows like a snake nodding its head.

In such a dark night, facing so many crossbow bolts with extreme speed, he actually did not drop a single one.

The clouds moved away a little, and Anjou frowned.

In front of him stood two men with swords, dressed in long gray robes.

What was strange was that their eyes were so special … There were no black eyeb.a.l.l.s, only white eyes.

So even in the dark, it was so obvious.

Blind!

An Zeng slowly stood up and felt a light sound coming from behind him.

Without turning his head, he could guess that there was someone standing about five meters behind him. Judging from his aura, there was only one person.

""Who are you?""

the blind man asked.

He did not speak, nor could he speak.

""If you don"t answer, then die.""

The Blind Swordmaster trembled, and thirty-six rays of sword light, like five plum blossoms, rotated and stabbed towards the acupuncture points on An Zeng"s body.

At the same time the blind man made his move, the other two also made their move, blocking off all avenues of retreat.

With a thought from An Xuan, the words" Fish of the Northern Nether Realm "lit up on the Blood Pearl bracelet, and the three scales of the Saint Fish surrounded An Xuan, blocking all the five petals of the Plum Blossom Sword Ripples.

However, at this time, something that looked like a piece of floating black cloth quietly floated on top of Valium"s head.

A man crouched on the black cloth, waiting for the final blow.
