Chapter 43 Yuan Guilong

Hearing this.

Tong Tiexin 's expression instantly became extremely exciting.

He was stunned for a long time before he said somewhat dryly, "Husband-in-law?"

Although he tried his best to calm himself down, the stutter in his words had already exposed his overturning heart.

Not to mention him, even the junior brothers and sisters behind him fell silent at that moment.

Ye Hongjian .

The daughter of Marquis of Great Zhou, a blank disciple of the Exquisite Pavilion Division. How could such an identity be betrothed to this extremely ordinary looking youth in front of him?

They looked at their dumbstruck Senior Brother and then at Ye Hongjian , who was playing with the corner of her clothes and looked like a shy little girl, and suddenly felt dizzy.

This news was too sudden and unbelievable for them.

However, Tong Tiexin was an expert disciple of the Exquisite Pavilion. Even though he wished to tear Xu Han to pieces, he still had the courage to congratulate him. He also agreed with everyone that he would set off tomorrow before leaving with his junior brothers and sisters in a sorry state.

On the other hand, Xu Han looked at the back of Tong Tiexin and the others, who were obviously suppressing their anger, and then looked at Ye Hongjian , who was pretending to be a daughter.

He was a little overwhelmed. This seemingly gentle father and daughter of the Ye Clan had deep thoughts. After all, he had underestimated them. Perhaps this trip to the Exquisite Pavilion would not be easy.

…

In the blink of an eye, after dinner, Xu Han refused Xuan'er's request to wander around Chang'an City. He returned to his room early and prepared to fall asleep.

Tomorrow, he would leave for the Exquisite Pavilion. The Long Night Division would not let Ye Hongjian arrive there smoothly. There was bound to be a fierce battle along the way. Moreover, the man from the Exquisite Pavilion who was leading the team today seemed to have coveted Ye Hongjian. It was likely that he would not be able to avoid making things difficult on the way.

Xu Han wasn't afraid, but he didn't want to cause any complications.

Thinking of this, he felt a little helpless, so he didn't think about it anymore and was just about to go to the bed to sleep.

Dong.

Dong.

But at this moment, a knock came from outside the room.

At this hour, who would come back here? Xu Han was a little puzzled, but he still walked to the door and opened it.

She saw a beautiful figure standing at the door, but it was Ye Hongjian .

"Miss Ye…?" Xu Han was stunned and asked.

"Follow me and I'll take you to a place." Ye Hongjian 's expression was cold, but she could not find the slightest bit of shyness or daughter in the hall today.

Without waiting for Xu Han to respond, she turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Xu Han's brows furrowed at that moment. He was somewhat displeased with Ye Hongjian 's attitude.

However, on second thought, the attitude that Ye Hongjian displayed in the hall today was only a slight disguise, which pushed Xu Han to the peak of the storm. If Xu Han disobeyed her wishes, she would probably do something to embarrass him if she went to the Exquisite Pavilion.

In the end, Xu Han managed to catch up with Ye Hongjian 's pace of departure with the attitude that more was more than less.

Ye Hongjian brought Xu Han out of the Marquis Mansion of Ning Country, but it was not the main entrance, but the side entrance, as if she was deliberately avoiding the ears and eyes of some people.

Along the way, they had all picked up small alleys and hadn't even crossed the main path.

Xu Han looked at the silent Ye Hongjian in front of him and couldn't help but suspect that this young miss was looking for a remote place to "murder her husband".

Just as Xu Han was secretly vigilant, Ye Hongjian led him through another alley, and then she suddenly stopped her footsteps.

Xu Han was stunned. He was even more vigilant in his heart. He raised his head and looked at Ye Hongjian , wanting to ask something.

"We're here." But at that time, Ye Hongjian turned her head and looked at Xu Han as well.

The two of them exchanged glances. Xu Han was stunned and couldn't help but look behind Ye Hongjian .

He saw a huge mansion not far from the main road.

Just the mansion gate was a full 50 feet away, several times larger than the Ning Kingdom's Marquis Mansion.

The materials used in the manor seemed to be extremely exquisite. Xu Han did not know what kind of wood to use, but it looked simple and unpleasant. The doors on both sides were inlaid with dense rows of golden nails. They were seven in length and eight in breadth. They were already the image of the lintel of the royal family. On both sides were two gigantic stone statues of the Bi'an Divine Beast. They were dignified and solemn.

As for the palace gate, there was a huge plaque with the words' Heavenly Policy 'written on it. The brush was as vigorous as a golden sword.

"This is the Tiance Prefecture ?" At that time, Xu Han finally regained his senses. He looked at Ye Hongjian , who was beside him with some confusion, but he couldn't understand why she had brought him here.

"Someone wants to see you before you leave Chang'an. Let's go." Ye Hongjian seemed to have noticed the doubt in Xu Han's heart as she said this. Then, she pushed open the door of the Tiance Prefecture and led Xu Han inside.

Tiance Prefecture was once the center of power in Chang'an City and even the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, with the extermination of the Mu Palace and the rise of the Long Night Division, Tiance Prefecture had already died in name. The three thousand white-robed scholars who had once herded the world had died and scattered, and the thirty thousand Heavenly Policy Army that guarded Chang'an had also been exiled to various places, either to die in a foreign land or to die in a gloomy end.

By now, the Nuoda Tiance Prefecture was already empty and abandoned for a long time.

Xu Han didn't have any feelings for Tiance Prefecture. He just thought that the mansion that was in its prime for a while had fallen into such a state, and it was somewhat bleak in the end. The world was blazing with cold, and it was mostly like this.

"He's waiting for you. Go." Ye Hongjian did not try to figure out what Xu Han was thinking. She led Xu Han to a remote courtyard in the manor. The courtyard was located in a simple and crude hut, but the room was lit with dim candlelight. It was the only light in the dilapidated Tiance Prefecture .

Xu Han was stunned again. He naturally did not understand who was waiting for him in the Tiance Prefecture , but he was already here. Whether he was a human or a ghost still needed to be seen.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and finally pushed open the door of the hut.

The furnishings in the room were very simple, a wooden bed and a set of tables and stools.

On the table was a scabbard with a hidden edge, and a man was sitting on a stool.

"Coming."

After Xu Han entered the room, the man raised his head.

He was dressed in a grey cloth robe. He looked to be in his early forties, but the sound of his mouth was incomparably ancient, and even a little gloomy. Far from being able to spit out a sound at his age, he was more like an old man who was over the age of a flower armor.

"Who are you?" Xu Han frowned and looked at the strange man up and down with the dim candlelight in the room.

"Sit." The man stretched out his hand and pointed to the wooden stool beside him.

He cherished his words as much as gold, and it seemed to be extremely difficult for him to say one more word.

"How's the Headmaster?" After Xu Han sat down, the man asked again. His face was a little pale, as if he was suffering from some malignant disease, and his voice was a little low.

"Dead." Xu Han's answer was the same as the previous few times, without any change.

When the man heard this, an ugly smile appeared on his pale face.

He trembled as he stretched out his hand and fumbled in his arms. Then, he took out a jade pendant and handed it to Xu Han.

The light in Xu Han's eyes condensed, and a surprised expression appeared on his forehead.

"This is a Fate Talisman" he murmured to himself. He did not expect that the man would actually have the same Fate Talisman in his hand.

He didn't care about concealing anything anymore and hurriedly groped in his embrace. Then, he took out the Fate Talisman and put it together to compare it.

However, he discovered that not only were the two jade pendants identical, even the cracked patterns on them were identical.

"Did he still go after all?" The man's already pale face darkened when he saw the life talisman Xu Han took out. He muttered to himself at that time.

"Yes." Xu Han naturally understood that the Headmaster's whereabouts could not be concealed from this man, so he simply nodded.

"Kunlun, what exactly happened in the Immortal Realm? The sea has flowed, and the Headmaster wants to go, but I can only sit here." After receiving Xu Han's affirmative reply, the man couldn't help but sigh. The expression on his face became dimmer and dimmer, as if he was puzzled and even more unwilling.

"The old man didn't tell me directly. However, I'm afraid this trip is really unlucky." Speaking of Headmaster Xu Han, he was also a little depressed. However, he also heard some clues from this man's words. Headmaster did say that he was going to Kunlun when he left, and Canghai Liu had mentioned a few words about Kunlun before.

What exactly was hidden in the legendary immortal's residence that allowed them to head forward one after another? Xu Han couldn't understand, but he really didn't want to think about it.

"Is that why you want to see me?" Xu Han shook his head, shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind, and looked at the man.

"I heard from Hongjian that the Headmaster accepted you as his disciple?" However, the man did not answer Xu Han's question. Instead, he asked another question.

"Yes." Xu Han frowned and nodded. To tell the truth, Xu Han did not like the identity of this Headmaster's disciple.

"You want to go to the Exquisite Pavilion? Treat your meridians, or your arms?" The man asked again. Although his expression was somewhat exhausted, his gaze was like a sharp sword, as if he could see Xu Han thoroughly.

Xu Han's body trembled as he looked up at the man and his expression immediately became vigilant.

The arm left behind by this great demon was his biggest secret. If anyone noticed it, it would inevitably attract disaster. However, this man actually pierced through it with a single glance. This made Xu Han feel alert.

"What about after that? Where are you going after you're cured?" The man turned a blind eye to Xu Han's hostility. He continued to ask in a gentle tone, as if he was caring for an elder of the younger generation.

"I don't know." Xu Han shook his head. The vigilance in his heart did not dissipate because of the sudden softening of the man's attitude.

"Three years."

Xu Han was still pondering whether this man was an enemy or a friend, but the man's voice sounded again.

Xu Han was naturally puzzled. He looked at the man doubtfully, as if he was asking him what he meant.

"I can still defend the Tiance Prefecture for you for three years."

The man said again.

Hearing this, Xu Han was even more puzzled. He had never thought of anything to do with the Tiance Prefecture . He did not like the power struggle and did not have the mood to participate in it.

He just wanted to live, live well, that's all.

Therefore, he shook his head and was about to say something.

"You can go back. No matter what decision you make in three years, I hope you can come and see me again." The man interrupted Xu Han again and immediately ordered him to leave.

After a moment of silence, Xu Han finally withdrew what he had said. Then, he stood up, bowed to the man, and left the room by himself.

…

Ye Hongjian , who was waiting outside, did not inquire about the contents of their conversation.

They silently returned to the Marquis' Mansion. When they were about to separate, Xu Han suddenly asked.

"Who is that person?"

At that time, Ye Hongjian turned her eyes to look at Xu Han, who had a gloomy expression, and lightly spat out three words: " Yuan Guilong ."

Yuan Guilong .

Mo Bei Dao Wang Yuan returned to the dragon.
