Chapter 289 Life is impermanent
In the room, Fang Xuan sat at the table, took the warm tea handed to him by Pei Qian, and said to himself: "It's still too slow. After entering the fifth level, the progress of improvement has been seriously delayed. It seems that I still need to go through more life-and-death battles!"

"I'll have to ask Old Man Sun if there's a chance where the ancient battlefield ruins are in Kyushu. With the resources of the Martial Temple, he should know something!"

Fang Xuan muttered to himself and suddenly noticed Pei Zhizhen was staring at him.

The look in his eyes was a little strange, and Fang Xuan couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body.

In fact, Pei Zhizhen was not bad looking, she was the type that was pleasing to the eye, but her muscular body was not pleasing to the eye.

On the contrary, Pei Qian's beautiful face is more likable!
Even though he is a man!

Sometimes Fang Xuan wondered how Pei Qian and Pei Zhizhen looked like. If they could swap identities, wouldn’t everyone be happy?
"Um, Senior Pei, is there something wrong?" Fang Xuan asked after taking a sip of warm tea.

Pei Zhizhen nodded slightly, then looked at Pei Qian: "Xiao Qian, are you hungry?"

Pei Qian was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "No? Auntie, didn't we just eat?"

"I'm talking to you!" Pei Zhizhen's tone became heavier.

Pei Qian quickly covered his stomach and shouted, "Oh, I'm so hungry! I'm starving!"

With that, Pei Qian ran out of the room.

There were only two people in the room again, staring at each other.

"Longjing, there was a bloodbath in Leizhou, and Chu Yuanzhen was preparing to sacrifice the people to attack the upper realm." Pei Zhizhen continued slowly: "Because of some relationship between Taixuan Sect and the Li royal family, I have to go."

Hearing about Wanli Xueshen, Fang Xuan's eyebrows slightly frowned. This was not something Fang Xuan had not experienced along the way.

From the infamous Lotus Moon Demon Cult, to the King of Haizhou who wanted to increase his strength and eventually become the Buddha's bride, their increase in strength was based on the suffering of the people.

Unrest and war in Jiuzhou are inevitable, but Fang Xuan is very resistant to such actions.

"I would like to ask you to help take care of Xiaoqian. If possible, you can lock him up in the Wu Temple. There are unpredictable dangers in Leizhou, and I don't want him to be in danger." Pei Zhizhen stated her purpose.

Out of respect for the Li royal family, Taixuanzong had to have someone go to Leizhou, but there was no need for Pei Qian, who only had the second level of the pass, to risk his life.

Although Shangjing was relatively safe, Pei Zhizhen knew that with Pei Qian's shocking appearance, she didn't know what kind of trouble he would get into in Shangjing City!
Fang Xuan didn't refuse. Thinking how difficult it was to see a person, he nodded slightly.

As for whether Leizhou is really dangerous, we are all warriors, and the dangers we have experienced are no longer worth getting too pretentious about.

"Actually, I don't have any good feelings towards you. You always give people a feeling of being unfathomable. For Taixuan Sect, it is not a good thing for you to be too close to Taixuan Sect." Suddenly, Pei Zhizhen changed the subject.

Fang Xuan was stunned!
Is this tough guy so straightforward in his words?

Pei Zhizhen then continued, "But Xiaoqian trusts you very much. I have never seen Xiaoqian worship someone so obsessively! It's a pity that he is a man."

"Cough cough cough" Fang Xuan coughed lightly a few times and kept drinking tea to ease his embarrassment.

Huaiyang Palace.

It was past the hour of Mao and the court meeting had just ended.

The little emperor could not escape. Although the entire Dayang Dynasty was now supervised by Prince Huaiyang, in order to avoid danger, Prince Huaiyang used his own reception room as the place for court meetings.

It is called a court meeting, but in fact it is just a gathering of the most important people in the court.

After the court meeting ended, Li Yuanzheng kept Prime Minister Yang Pu.

"Recently, there have been rumors of a bloodbath in Leizhou. Chu Yuanzhen wants to use the blood of the people to break through the upper realm. I want to send someone to stop him and send out an army to recapture Leizhou in one fell swoop. Who do you think is the most suitable person to send?"

Yang Pu stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance. Chu Yuanzhen is very ambitious. Once he breaks through to the upper realm, he will indeed pose a greater threat to us. However, Zhongzhou has just experienced a great war. If another great war breaks out, if Jingzhou in the south sends troops, we will be attacked from both sides!"

The Dayang Dynasty is now forced by the situation and there are too many factors to consider when it wants to do something.

The burden on the shoulders of Prince Huaiyang was not light, and so was that of Prime Minister Yang Pu. Although he was not yet old, his hair had already turned white.

Li Yuanzheng waited for a while, and seeing that Yang Pu did not raise any opinions, he said, "It was Taixuanzong who told me about this matter. To go deep into Leizhou, we need someone with stronger strength to come forward, and he cannot be too conspicuous."

Even Li Yuanzheng felt a bit troubled by these candidates.

Generally speaking, when it comes to major events that require traveling far away, the people sent out have little to no backup, which makes things extremely difficult.

Yang Pu pondered for a moment and said, "Let Wu Miao come forward. The bloodbath across thousands of miles is shocking and unconventional. Wu Miao has no reason to refuse!"

Li Yuanzheng nodded, thought for a long time, and nodded.

Temple of Martial Arts, Hall of Haoqi.

"What? Our Wu Temple wants to intervene in Leizhou affairs?" Xiang Jie was a little surprised and stunned when he heard the news.

Although the Martial Temple has the responsibility to patrol the Nine Provinces and maintain the overall stability of the Nine Provinces, the affairs of Leizhou are obviously just the result of the competition among various forces and are not within the jurisdiction of the Martial Temple.

In the past, the Dayang royal family did not have the courage to speak to the Wu Temple under such circumstances.

Sun Miaozhu stroked the teacup, speaking in a gentle tone, without arguing too much about the Leizhou matter: "Xiang Jie, you are still one step away from the late stage of the fifth heavenly gate!"

Xiang Jie was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "One more opportunity is needed to be promoted to the third rank."

The status of the third-rank plum envoy in the Martial Temple has also been greatly improved.

Sun Miaozhu nodded and said, "The matter of Leizhou is an opportunity for you. The Lord of Martial Arts has personally spoken, so you have to go on this trip!"

After hearing that even the Lord God of War had spoken on this matter, Xiang Jie said no more.

"When do we set off?" Xiang Jie asked.

Sun Miaozhu put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Let's set off today. We are accompanied by people from Taixuan Sect. When we arrive in Leizhou, we will do what we need to do!"

"Also, Fang Xuan is with you on this trip. You just need to make sure he stays alive."

Xiang Jie was still thinking about Sun Miaozhu's intention of letting Fang Xuan go with him, when he heard Sun Miaozhu emphasize:
"Remember, the matter of this trip to Leizhou is not important, and whether you can seize the opportunity for a breakthrough is not important either. The most important thing is Fang Xuan's safety."

After coming out of the Haoqi Hall, Xiang Jie couldn't figure out his own mood.

Although he also knew that Wu Miao attached great importance to Fang Xuan.

But Sun Miaozhu said those words himself, and as a fourth-rank plum envoy of the Martial Temple, he still felt a little jealous.

We are both warriors and we are both in the Temple of Martial Arts.

Why is the gap so big!

I just talked a lot with Pei Zhizhen.

Fang Xuan was about to find Sun Miaozhu to ask for clues about the remains of the ancient battlefield.

I happened to meet Xiang Jie, and there seemed to be something wrong with his expression.

Just as he was about to say hello, Xiang Jie stepped forward and said, "Come with me to Leizhou tomorrow, and you should get ready.

Also, please inform the two people from Taixuan Sect that we are traveling together!"

Seeing Xiang Jie turn around and leave decisively, Fang Xuan looked towards the courtyard where Pei Zhizhen lived and smiled bitterly:
"Life is unpredictable, life is unpredictable!"
