Chapter 74: Instructing Fan Xian
Good guy!
What a great guy!
Qin Feng looked at the respectful Fan Xian in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
I was making a deal with you sincerely, but you actually wanted to take advantage of me for free!
The reason why Fan Xian wanted to take him as his master was simply to make their relationship closer.
As a master, he always has to take care of his apprentice.
Moreover, he owed Fan Xian three promises. When they became familiar with each other in the future, it would be natural for a master to help his apprentice, wasn't that right?
Although disciples should also respect their masters, no matter how you look at it, in their situation, Fan Xian is the one who benefits the most.
"Don't even think about it. I won't accept anyone as my disciple!" Qin Feng waved his hand and refused directly.
If he had reached the level of a grandmaster, there would be nothing wrong with him accepting Fan Xian as his disciple, and there would even be many benefits.
After all, they have the bond between master and disciple, so he has a reason to ask Fan Xian to do things.
But now, he can hardly protect himself, so he has no intention of taking in a disciple.
"Then when Brother Ye is free, you can teach me how to practice."
Seeing Qin Feng's firm attitude, Fan Xian decided to settle for the next best option.
Before Qin Feng opened his mouth to speak, Fan Xian continued, "Brother Ye, don't worry. I will definitely find a good place for you to stay tomorrow. You will also eat the same three meals a day as I do, all of which are the best food!"
"By the way, Brother Ye, do you want a maid? I can find you a few pretty ones to serve you!"
Qin Feng understood the hidden meaning of Fan Xian's words, which was nothing more than saying.
I've provided you with food and lodging. It should be no problem for me to give you some martial arts lessons in your free time.
Qin Feng did not refuse this.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I can teach you martial arts, but I only have half a day every five days, so you should take advantage of it."
"As for maids, they are not necessary. What I need is a confidential environment. You are the only one who knows where I live."
awesome!
It was a rare opportunity for a top warrior above the ninth rank to teach him, so Fan Xian was quite excited.
However, if the situation is kept secret and he is the only one who knows about it, it will be inconvenient if something goes wrong.
So Fan Xian said, "Brother Ye, I will only tell the person you trust most where you live, okay?"
He planned to tell Fan Ruoruo about Qin Feng's situation, so that if anything happened to him, Fan Ruoruo would know who to find.
"Row."
Qin Feng nodded, "Anyway, I am your mother's backup. If you expose me, there will be no benefit. You can do whatever you want!"
Qin Feng has now got what he wanted. If he is exposed because of Fan Xian, the worst that can happen is that he runs away. He has no psychological burden at all.
"It's getting late, go to sleep."
After saying that, Qin Feng closed his eyes and lay down on the bed.
Fan Xian bowed to Qin Feng and then lay down.
At this moment, Qin Feng was relatively calm, thinking about the various mysteries of the domineering true qi in his mind, and planned to study it in detail tomorrow.
Fan Xian, on the other hand, appeared calm on the surface, but in fact his heart was filled with turmoil.
Mainly because his mood was really up and down tonight and he encountered too many things.
He first expressed his feelings to Lin Wan'er, and then met Qin Feng when he returned home.
Especially this Qin Feng, Fan Xian learned too many things from him.
Those things lingered in his mind at this time, making him unable to fall asleep for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, Fan Xian discovered that Qin Feng's breathing became longer.
He fell asleep? He actually fell asleep?!
Isn’t he afraid of a sneak attack?
Is he not afraid because he is too strong? Or does he really trust himself?
But no matter which possibility it is, Fan Xian's best choice is to be safe.
Just like that, Fan Xian fell asleep while thinking.
The next morning, it was just dawn.
When Fan Xian woke up, he was confused at first. He had thought about too many things last night and felt like his brain was overloaded.
But when he turned his head and saw someone sitting on the bed, he immediately came to his senses.
I remembered what happened last night instantly.
Brother Ye, is he practicing?
Fan Xian saw Qin Feng sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking like he was practicing cultivation, with heat coming out of his whole body.
What kind of skill is this? It’s so magical.
Moreover, it was just daybreak, and Qin Feng had already started practicing so early, he was even more diligent than him.
It seems that the previous judgment was correct, this is a martial arts fanatic.
As if he had noticed Fan Xian's gaze, Qin Feng opened his eyes and glanced at him.
"you're awake?"
"Brother Ye, you practice so diligently that it really makes me ashamed. You must have practiced for quite some time."
Fan Xian practiced for half an hour every morning and evening, which was considered diligent. He didn't expect that there were people who were more diligent than him.
Qin Feng smiled and did not answer, but asked: "What do you want to eat in the morning?"
After becoming stronger, Qin Feng only needed to sleep for two hours a day and he was full of energy.
You can even go without sleep for three days, but you will need to catch up on sleep afterwards.
"Um, I'll ask the servants to serve breakfast. What would you like to eat, Brother Ye?"
Fan Xian usually eats with his family, but it's okay to eat alone.
In the Fan Mansion, the kitchen is basically open around the clock. Whenever you want to eat, just tell the servants.
"I eat whatever you eat."
"Row!"
Soon, breakfast was served.
The breakfast was very rich, with millet porridge, steamed dumplings, steamed buns, soy milk, vegetable cakes and meat cakes.
"You usually eat so much? You have a big appetite." Qin Feng grabbed the meat pie and took a bite.
"I specifically instructed that I'm a bit hungry today, so more food was delivered." Fan Xian laughed.
For some reason, after seeing Qin Feng, Fan Xian felt an inexplicable sense of peace.
Even though they had just met, he felt very close to Qin Feng.
Although it was strange, Fan Xian would not say such things out loud and could only eat breakfast in silence.
Soon, the two finished their breakfast.
Qin Feng stood up and said, "Let's go and buy me a house."
"buy house?!"
Fan Xian's face fell, "Brother Ye, my dear brother! Do you know how much it costs to buy a yard in Kyoto?! It must be at least tens of thousands of taels!"
"I can't afford it, so I can only rent a house for you."
Even though it seems in the TV series, Fan Xian has never been short of money. He directly agreed to Wang Qinian's salary and Teng Zijing's salary.
But if he were asked to buy a yard, he really couldn't afford the money.
The main thing is that this matter must be done secretly, and the family cannot be asked for money. Otherwise, with Fan Jian's love for Fan Xian, it would not be a problem to buy a manor, let alone a yard.
Qin Feng laughed, "We were just joking, just rent a house."
Qin Feng was in a good mood after learning the Grandmaster's skills. Plus, he was spending time with Fan Xian, so he unconsciously relaxed a little.
In fact, he did not deliberately hide anything in some details of his actions and words, with a sense of freedom that was ahead of his time.
Qin Feng didn't care about this.
As long as he doesn't admit it, it's useless for Fan Xian to doubt him, because Qin Feng can use Ye Qingmei as a shield.
"What area does Brother Ye want?" Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he found that Qin Feng was actually joking with him. It seemed that he could still work it out before becoming his disciple.
"It's not too far from the Fan Mansion. It shouldn't cost much to rent for a year."
"You go first, I'll follow you, so we won't be exposed." "Okay! I'll get my ID and go."
Buying or renting a house in Kyoto is not something you can do just because you have money.
Money is only one aspect, the most important thing is to have a Kyoto identity.
Qin Feng is an illegal resident and cannot rent a house on his own, and he has no way to get a certificate.
Fan Xian can definitely help, but he needs to rely on the power of the Fan family, otherwise it would be too easy to be exposed.
So Fan Xian had to step in person to help rent a house.
Of course, this identity label was not Fan Xian’s, but that of one of the servants of the Fan family, and it was Fan Xian who took it secretly.
In this way, as long as no one pays attention to this matter, the house deal will be settled.
After the preparations were completed, Fan Xian quickly walked out from the back door.
Afterwards, Qin Feng used his lightness skills to follow from a distance.
But not long after following, Qin Feng's brows furrowed slightly.
Because he discovered that someone was following Fan Xian, and there were more than one person.
If someone was following him, wouldn't Fan Xian's rental be noticed?
It's early in the morning, the sky has just brightened, why would someone be following me?
With Fan Xian's current status, the attention he received shouldn't be so high, unless... Oh, the Niulan Street assassination!
Last night, Fan Xian told him a lot of things that happened after he came to Kyoto, such as the prince's killer move, Teng Zijing, Fan Sizhe and so on.
He still said that the Second Prince was trying to win him over, but he did not say that the Second Prince invited him to dinner or anything.
If Qin Feng remembered correctly, the Niulan Street assassination took place on the day when Fan Xian went to Zuixianju to keep his appointment with the Second Prince.
It was also because of this assassination that Teng Zijing died, and Fan Xian's mentality also changed slightly.
Before the assassination, Fan Xian had experienced the assassination in Danzhou and the prince's killing move.
But these things did not make Fan Xian feel dangerous.
At this moment, he was still essentially an idle second-generation official, and he had no clear understanding of the struggle for power.
It was not until Teng Zijing's death that Fan Xian's mentality gradually began to change and he entered this game of thrones.
Could it be that today is the day when the assassination will take place?
Thinking of this, Qin Feng walked forward for a distance and came to a small alley that Fan Xian had to pass through.
The moment Fan Xian passed by, he directly kidnapped him.
"it's me!"
Looking at Fan Xian struggling to fight back from a distance, Qin Feng whispered something.
"Someone is following you, don't resist!"
After saying that, Qin Feng didn't care whether Fan Xian agreed or not, and directly took him to perform Qinggong, jumped over several walls, and shook off the pursuers.
"What a great martial art!" Fan Xian exclaimed in praise after landing.
Qin Feng and him weighed about 300 pounds together, but after performing lightness skills, they landed silently. This level of lightness skills is truly terrifying!
As expected of a ninth-rank expert, he is so amazing!
"You are being followed. Is there anything going on today?" Qin Feng asked.
"It's nothing. The Second Prince just wants to invite me to a banquet this morning. But is it worth sending someone to monitor me so early in the morning?" Fan Xian frowned and thought.
Normally, it's just a meal, the host wouldn't send someone to monitor you.
Besides, there are still nearly two hours before dinner time. It would be impossible to send someone to monitor at this time.
"I suspect it's the prince's men! I've only offended him recently, and he must be looking for revenge on me!"
Fan Xian's intuition was quite accurate and he locked onto the target immediately.
"But this is Kyoto. Is he going to assassinate me? Is he crazy?"
I have to say that Fan Xian's brain is pretty good, he thought of the answer right away.
But looking at his expression and the tone of his voice, he obviously didn't believe it.
Qin Feng said: "No matter whether it is true or not, after you go back after renting a house, don't come out today."
"The Second Prince has invited me, and I have already accepted. I have to go."
Fan Xian shook his head and said, "This is Kyoto! I don't believe the prince would be so crazy as to assassinate me in Kyoto!"
"Although I am only a seventh-rank warrior, I have Teng Zijing as my guard. With the combined strength of the two of us, even an eighth-rank warrior won't be able to kill me!"
"And the Inspection Bureau in Kyoto is not just there to recruit warriors of this strength. They will definitely find out that the prince is the one behind it. But he doesn't have the guts to do that!"
"Besides, it's useless if I don't go out today. If the prince really wants to assassinate me, there's always tomorrow if he fails today. How can we guard against thieves for a thousand days?"
What Fan Xian said actually made sense. He would not go out today, even if it would help him avoid the assassination on Niulan Street.
There will be assassinations on Tianhe Street and Fengle Street in the future, and there is no way to avoid them!
"Okay." Qin Feng didn't persuade him anymore.
In this way, the two of them walked towards the tooth shop.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
Fan Xian is missing? !
Lin Gong, the prime minister's son, looked at the letter in his hand with a frown.
In order to ensure today's mission is completed smoothly, Fan Xian was assassinated and the second prince was framed.
Lin Gong specially arranged people to keep an eye on Fan Xian around the clock.
These people are all experts in Qing Kung Fu, and some have the strength of the seventh or eighth rank.
Fan Xian was just a seventh-rank warrior, and I had never heard of how powerful his Qinggong was. How could he suddenly disappear?
The abnormality of the situation made Lin Gong a little upset.
He is the eldest princess's man, and this time he is working for the eldest princess. This matter is also related to himself. He does not like Fan Xian and does not want Wan'er to marry him.
It would be a good thing if it could be removed.
But today we had a bad start, which was really not right!
But now that Fan Xian had disappeared, there was nothing he could do. The only thing he could do was to have some people continue to squat at the gate of Fan Mansion and Zuixian Tower.
The Second Prince hasn't even gotten up yet, so it's impossible for Fan Xian to go to Zuixianlou.
So this assassination attempt did not fail, they still have a chance.
In a small courtyard in the southwest of Kyoto City, Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction.
“This place is nice!”
This small courtyard is about the same size as the one Qin Feng rented in Pingchuan County before. There is also a locust tree about ten meters tall planted in it.
"Then Brother Ye, you can stay here first. I will talk to the nearby restaurants and ask them to deliver three meals to you every day. I will come to you for advice when I have time."
This yard had been rented for a year, which was considered as one of Fan Xian's tasks. He waved his hand and was about to leave.
But Qin Feng stopped him.
"Wait a minute. I see that you are not far from breaking through to the eighth level. Show me your domineering Qi and I will give you some pointers."
The person who assassinated Fan Xian was Cheng Jushu, an eighth-grade master of horizontal training!
His defense was amazing, and ordinary ninth-grade warriors didn't want to deal with such a person.
Qin Feng could certainly kill him easily, but if he did so, even if he did not reveal himself at all, it would still attract a thorough investigation by people like Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing!
So in order to avoid this situation, Qin Feng will not take action.
But he could still influence this matter. As long as he helped Fan Xian break through the eighth level, Teng Zijing might not have to die.
This man is chivalrous and a man of kind character. If you can save him, there's no harm in doing so.
"That's great!"
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Fan Xian immediately became excited.
If he still had some doubts about Qin Feng's strength last night.
But after Qin Feng performed his Qinggong just now, all the doubts in Fan Xian's heart disappeared.
This kind of lightness skill is simply terrifying. He doesn't believe it if he doesn't have the strength of the ninth rank or above!
So at this moment, how could he not be happy to receive guidance from such a master?
Thinking of this, Fan Xian said nothing more, went into the yard, and began practicing.
