Chapter 613 Iron Warriors
After that, the atmosphere in the study became silent.
Fan Jian and Fan Xian sat opposite each other in silence, neither willing to speak first to break the deathly silence and delicate balance.
Fan Jian looked at Fan Xian deeply. Although he was convincing himself that what Fan Xian said was just speculation, as the emperor's nanny and the true confidant who had been with the emperor since Qianlong, Fan Jian felt deep in his heart. Chu vaguely realized that what Fan Xian said might be true.
Even so, Fan Jian still harbored a trace of luck.
After a long silence, he said in a difficult tone: "What happened today is known to God and to the earth. You know it and I know it."
Fan Xian nodded: "Don't worry, Dad, I won't make things difficult for you."
Fan Jian raised his hand slightly and waved dejectedly.
Fan Xian then stood up, bowed his hands respectfully, turned around and exited the study.
Both father and son knew very well that when Fan Xian walked out of this room, the sky in this huge capital would change...
Faced with Fan Xian's vaguely sinister intention, and the otherworldly world, which seemed to have been known for five hundred years before and five hundred years later, Fan Jian couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
The Fan Xian now is no longer the Fan Xian he knew.
Fan Jian sat there in silence for a long time, then sighed softly, picked up the ink stick, and began to grind the ink.
…
…
In the yard, Fan Ruoruo did not return to the room as Fan Xian said, but sat on the bench in the corridor, waiting for Fan Xian to come out.
As the person who knows Fan Xian best in the entire Fan Mansion, Fan Ruoruo is keenly aware that a huge change seems to have occurred in Fan Xian.
The origin of this transformation is too transcendent, far beyond Fan Ruoruo's imagination.
Therefore, she was very worried about her brother, who was now a little stranger.
Seeing Fan Xian walking out of the study, Fan Ruoruo immediately stood up and greeted him.
"Brother, are you okay?"
"..."
Looking at the worried look on Ruoruo's face, Fan Xian smiled slightly and gently stretched out his hand to take her into his arms.
Fan Ruoruo was stunned for a moment, and before she could feel her brother's rare warmth, she couldn't help but said, "Brother, what happened?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I have been thinking about it for a long time these days and made a decision."
"What decision?"
"..."
Fan Xian did not answer, but gently pushed his sister away from his arms, then turned his hand and took out a silver bracelet, took his sister's hand, and put it on while she looked at her confused and curious eyes.
"……What's this?"
"This is a gift from my brother. It can protect your safety and keep you safe throughout your life."
After saying that, before Fan Ruoruo could ask in shock, Fan Xian took her hand and led her back to his room.
After entering the room, Fan Xian waved his hand and a strong wind blew up from the ground, blowing the tables and chairs in the room to pieces.
When the room was clear, Fan Xian waved his hand again, and five steel puppets all covered in silvery gray suddenly appeared.
These steel puppets are the lowest-end products in the [Pavilion of Rare Treasures], priced at only one hundred gray mist coins.
But even a steel puppet of this level, placed in the world of Qing Yunian, can still fight with the Grand Master.
After all, even Grand Masters can be injured by firearms, but these steel puppets can ignore modern conventional firepower, and their defense and endurance are far beyond the capabilities of flesh-and-blood Grand Masters.
It is not an exaggeration to say that one man can defeat ten thousand armies.
Looking at the shocked expression on Fan Ruoruo's face, Fan Xian smiled and said: "This is the Iron Warrior I brought back from Heaven. It is extremely powerful and tireless. A ninth-level master is like an ant in front of it. Even a great master can't." Easy to deal with.”
Having said this, Fan Xian said sternly: "Ruoruo, the bracelet I gave you is the key to controlling these steel warriors. Use it more often. Once you become proficient, you can use it to protect yourself and the Fan Mansion."
"……ah?"
Fan Ruoruo's beautiful eyes widened and she looked at Fan Xian in shock. She couldn't help but put her delicate hands on her wrists and stroke the cold silver bracelet.
Did she hear it correctly?
This is a great master!
There are only four in the whole world, and my brother actually took out five at once.
And the way she appeared was extremely magical, as if myths and legends suddenly came into reality and appeared in front of her...
After being shocked for a long time, Fan Ruoruo came back to his senses, calmed down a little, nodded seriously and said: "I understand!"
Such a rapid change in demeanor made Fan Xian completely confused.
He said in surprise: "Why don't you ask me what Heaven is and why I want Iron Warriors to be handed over to you?"
Fan Ruoruo smiled and said: "No need to ask, if these are things I can know, my brother will naturally tell me."
Seeing Ruoruo's blind trust in him, Fan Xian couldn't help but smile helplessly.
This trust without thinking is really extremely heavy...
Fortunately, he is now a different person and will never betray his sister's blind trust.
After thinking for a moment, Fan Xian said: "Ruoruo, I give these five Iron Warriors to you mainly for precaution. You don't need to have too much psychological burden. Just treat it as if you have hired five guards for your family. .”
"If dad and aunt ask, just say you are my disciple."
...a hanger-on?
But this is a grand master. Is there anyone in the world who can recruit a disciple of the grand master level?
And he also recruited five people at once...
Fan Ruoruo complained in her heart, but she still nodded with a smile on her face and said, "Ruoruo understands."
Fan Xian smiled and nodded, raised his hand to rub Fan Ruoruo's black hair, turned and walked out of the room.
…
…
Not long after, a carriage drove out from Fan Mansion and headed towards the Overwatch Council.
Fan Xian sat in the carriage calmly, unable to tell what was going on in his heart.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and knocked on the car window.
"Old Vine."
"……Um?"
"Your wife and children all live outside the capital, right?"
"Yes, the housing prices in Kyoto are expensive, and I, a small family like me, really can't afford it."
Hearing Teng Zijing's complaints, Fan Xian smiled and said, "Let's take her to Fan's house. I remember that my sister-in-law is a good cook. You can help in the kitchen first."
Teng Zijing, who was driving in front of the carriage, was slightly startled, then realized something was wrong and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"
Fan Xian smiled and said, "Don't worry, it hasn't happened yet, it's just a precaution."
Teng Zijing frowned, thought for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Is Fan Mansion safe?"
Fan Xian smiled and said: "Nowadays, there is no safer place inside or outside the capital than Fan Mansion."
Teng Zijing said without hesitation: "Okay, I will take them over tonight."
Another extremely heavy trust...
Fan Xian lowered his arms and sat back in the carriage with a calm expression.
Not long after, Fan Xian's carriage arrived outside the Overwatch Council.
Teng Zijing stopped the carriage and moved the horse stool.
Fan Xian opened the curtain, looked at the sun in the sky, and then got out of the carriage with a calm expression.
After taking out the Tisi waist badge, Fan Xian had a smooth journey and met Chen Pingping, who had just returned to Beijing.
At this moment, Chen Pingping was patrolling the Overwatch Council. He was still sitting in that special wheelchair as always. The person pushing the wheelchair behind him was still the mysterious man wearing a dark mask and being taciturn.
Fan Xian glanced at the masked man. He now knew the man's identity.
This person's name is Shadow, he is the head of the Sixth Division of the Overwatch Council, and he is also Chen Pingping's most trusted confidant.
Of course, this is only Shadow's identity on the surface. His true identity is actually the younger brother of Sigu Jian, the great master of Dongyi City. He has practiced swordsmanship with Sigu Jian since he was a child, and he is the real direct descendant of Sigu Jian.
It was not until later that Sigu Jian bloodbathed the city lord's palace and was promoted to the Grand Master overnight.
Hundreds of relatives were all killed by Sigu Jian, leaving only this young brother...
Does this plot sound familiar?
Yes, what happened between Shadow and Shigu Ken is very similar to the Uchiha brothers in Naruto.
Because of this, many netizens would jokingly call him Uchiha Shadow.
Looking at Fan Xian's slightly weird and handsome face, Chen Pingping had a smile on her face.
He waved his hand to signal the shadow to retreat, and then looked at Fan Xian alone with a smile.
Fan Xian didn't look outside, walked behind him, and pushed his wheelchair forward.
Chen Pingping enjoyed this feeling of filial piety from her nephew. He squinted his eyes slightly, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and let Fan Xian push him away for a while.
It wasn't until the two of them came to a dark corridor with no one around that Chen Pingping suddenly spoke.
"Muya didn't come?"
Fan Xian smiled and said, "Brother Mu has gone north to look for the temple."
Chen Pingping tilted her head slightly and said in surprise: "A person like him would also care about the temple?"
Fan Xian shook his head: "Indeed not...so it would be more appropriate to say he is traveling around the world."
Chen Pingping nodded, and then said with a smile: "How dare you come out like this when he is not here?"
Fan Xian smiled and said, "It's broad daylight and the world is bright, why don't you dare?"
Chen Pingping laughed dumbly, and then her laughter became louder and more joyful.
It wasn't until Fan Xian pushed him through this corridor that Chen Pingping's laughter subsided and she chuckled:
"What a day in broad daylight, the world is clear!"
"You are the first one who dares to say this in the Overwatch Council."
Fan Xian said with a smile: "Uncle Chen was joking. Didn't my mother say that back then?"
Chen Pingping shook her head: "When your mother was still here, the Supervisory Yuan was not like this. Of course she didn't have to..."
Before she finished speaking, Chen Pingping suddenly froze for a moment, turned her head in surprise, and looked at Fan Xian.
"What did you call me?"
"Uncle Chen."
Fan Xian said matter-of-factly: "Given the relationship between you and my mother, calling me Uncle Sheng shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Chen Pingping's eyes became as gentle as the breeze: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..."
As he said that, he laughed again, and then scolded him warmly: "You, His Majesty has appointed you as the Associate Law Master of Taichang Temple, but it has been so many days, and you have never been to Taichang Temple once. It's not easy today." When you go out, you actually come to the Overwatch Council to find me."
"Are you really not afraid that His Majesty will blame you and cause further trouble in your marriage?"
Fan Xian smiled and said, "I'm not afraid."
Chen Pingping glanced at him and chuckled: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
