Legend of the Fighter (2)
Chapters... 64: Xinyan City
"Teacher? How's he doing now?" Zhou Fan quickly responded, he had long since looked forward to the news of his teacher, maybe soon they would meet.
But Xi Yu'er's gloomy facial expression made Zhou Fan instantly change his facial water. "What's going on?" Somehow Zhou Fan felt that there would be something he did not want.
Xi Yu'er let out a long sigh, she even closed her eyes before saying the news regarding Sian Lou.
"Grandfather Sian Lou is not in the Shao Empire, maybe he is now in the Han Empire. My brother found a letter in which it explained Grandpa Sian Lou's family tree, and at least I thought that it was one of the Clans in the Han Empire."
Xi Yu'er looked at Zhou Fan, his expression looking calmer after hearing the news of his teacher. He thought something bad was going to happen, but it wasn't right.
Although this news explained that if he was not currently going to meet his teacher, he had already found the place of his existence, he only needed to go there.
The Han Empire was famous for having a vast territory, perhaps being able to obtain the remaining crystal beasts that were extremely difficult to obtain in the Shao Empire.
Zhou Fan went back down, he approached Shao Mingrui who seemed curious about what he was talking about.
"Are you Princess Xi?" Shao Mingrui was very curious about the identity of the young lady back with Zhou Fan.
Xi Yu'er nodded but also shook her head. "Yes, but that was before. Now just a regular resident." As he said, his face was completely shady, like not harboring any hidden intentions in every word he said.
Shao Mingrui muttered, he did not ask any more because it would only reveal who he really was. But who would have thought if Xi Yu'er had guessed it.
"It is certain that you are the third prince, I very much remember when Young Master Zhou showed me the token of the third prince." Xi Yu'er said in a soft voice, so quietly that no one could hear but the four of them.
"Mr Princess Xi does have sharp eyes, it's not easy to hide in front of your eyes." Shao Mingrui did not take down the hood, he was worried that someone would recognize him, making things chaotic.
"Don't call her princess, it looks like the Xi Empire is still standing. Just call like Young Master Zhou, Miss Xi, or brother Xi is fine." Xi Yu'er is really an attractive woman, very good at socializing like a noble woman in general.
"I can't accompany you anymore, there's a lot of work, enjoy your time in this restaurant." Xi Yu'er returned to the second floor, leaving behind Zhou Fan as well as the other two people.
"How do you know Princess Xi?" Shao Mingrui gave a question that was enough to make people flutter, even though it did not apply to Zhou Fan.
"I accidentally met him when I came to Lanqiao Town." Shao Mingrui could not urge Zhou Fan to reveal more, he himself remembered if Zhou Fan had ever gone to this city after returning from the capital.
...
"Stop there, march if you want to get out of Lanqiao City. Five for every life that comes out" shouted a few people dressed as bandits.
Zhou Fan instantly knew if they were a group with bandits encountered in the restaurant, the bandits who were rioting in Bei Xian City.
"Hey, where are you going, pay first if you want to go." One of the men boldly pulled Zhou Fan's hand, even trying to drop with both hands.
But what he did in vain, Zhou Fan not only remained unmoved, the man who tried to knock him down instead looked in pain holding one hand with the other.
Another big man approached. "On what basis? On the basis that we are stronger, you have a problem?!" At the end of the sentence, the big man spat forward, his saliva almost hitting Zhou Fan's face if he didn't have time to avoid.
"strong? I want to see how strong you really are." Zhou Fan took out a spear.
The big man laughed. "Based on a whimper, you think I'm a shrimp brain that you're so easy to beat, you don't need a lot of people, I'm enough to teach you a lesson." The big man pulled out a sword.
Zhou Fan pulled a slight corner of his lips, after the frown was gone, he darted and shook off the spear.
Crash it!
With only one movement of a large man collapsed with his body torn apart.
"You're a shrimp brain!" Zhou Fan snorted and wiped the spear eyes contaminated with bloodstains.
Some of the remaining bandits stood with limp feet, even to hold their bodies looked extremely difficult.
But they had not had time to react more, their lives had been lost, consciousness slowly vanished and one by one began to fall hard on the ground.
Dozens of people looked at the black-robed figure armed with a spear, they were very amazed to see how easily he overcame the dozens of bandits who blocked the border of Kita Lanqiao.
Even so no one dared to say hello or say thank you, they were too afraid of Zhou Fan's strength. Moreover Zhou Fan was wearing a black robe, making his impression mysterious.
Shao Mingrui could only gawk, he could confirm if the bandits had the cultivation of emperor fighters, but were easily defeated by Zhou Fan, actually how strong was his brother?
He would have never expected if Zhou Fan had been at the level of a saint fighter, because basically, in the Shao Empire not many reached the level of a saint fighter, perhaps no more than a finger count.
After that Zhou Fan as well as the other two people continued their journey, they crossed a mountain range that separated the two cities, becoming a border that was quite dangerous.
Xinyan City was not far away, seen a gate composed of red bricks inscribed with 'Xinyan' on it. A better view of the city compared to Lanqiao Town can be witnessed from the outside.
Indeed, Lanqiao City which had switched leadership made the state of the city deteriorate, a lot of bandits who came further aggravated the situation.
Xinyan City was a liberated city, it was like a special right for the city. Heavenly Heart Sect, it was the leader or better known as the ruler of Xinyan City.
Shao Empire, more precisely the previous generation emperor had a written agreement with the ruler of Xinyan City who was the Patriarch of the Heavenly Heart Sect. In the agreement, it discussed some special things that the Xinyan City lord had.
Hence no one dared to attack or try to seize Xinyan City from the hands of the Heavenly Heart Sect. If one of the two princes dared to do so, then just preparing would lose the chance of becoming the next emperor.
Zhou Fan nodded at Shao Mingrui's explanation, he now knew why Xinyan City was so calm amid the turmoil of power struggles.
