Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 50 is about to be exposed?

Inside the government office, Li Xun stood in the yard, looking somewhat haggard.

He didn't sleep well the whole night yesterday.

In the mist, one can always seem to see a pitch-black dragon fighting with a giant that reaches the sky and the earth!

In the place where the two sides were fighting, countless golden chains pierced through the sky and earth, locking towards the giant, as if trying to stop the giant's attack!

Even so, the black dragon seemed no match for the giant. Its scales flew off and blood splattered everywhere...

His cultivation had reached the pinnacle of martial arts. He usually spent his nights in cultivation and never dreamed.

However, the dream last night lasted the whole night. From a mere bystander's perspective, Li Xun felt that his consciousness was about to be dispersed by the aura emanating from both parties.

"Xun'er, how do you feel?" Li Xingchao walked out of the room and saw his son standing in the yard, and asked with concern.

Li Xun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I had a dream all night and I am very tired."

Li Xingchao understood that it was not a good sign for a warrior at this level to dream, so he immediately said, "Why don't you just have a good rest in this government office today."

Li Xun shook his head again, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "My son wants to see what other tricks those witches have!"

As a genius, he has his own pride and confidence.

In the path of martial arts, if you retreat in the face of difficulties, you are destined to never achieve great things in this life.

"That's fine. Today, your father and Yun Jin will go into the mountains to explore the ruins. You should be careful during this time and bring the Golden Scale Guard with you when you go out."

Li Xun nodded, bowed slightly to Li Xingchao and said, "Take care, father. I am leaving."

When Li Xun arrived at the gate of the government office with a group of twenty Golden Scale Guards, he saw Fang Xu squatting next to a stone lion and eating a sesame cake.

He was stunned for a moment, then strode forward.

"I remember seeing you yesterday when you were still at the martial arts apprentice level. Did you break through today?"

Fang Xu had just broken through to the second level of martial arts and was still unable to fully control his breath, so he was easily seen through by Li Xun.

Fang Xu quickly swallowed the sesame cake in his mouth, smiled and bowed:
"I've met the prince."

"To be honest with you, my boy has been stuck in the martial arts apprentice realm for a while. I didn't expect that after meeting you yesterday, I returned home to practice for a while at night and actually made a breakthrough."

This subtle compliment actually eased the gloom in Li Xun's heart a little.

"Let's go find Yun Wan and continue today."

He brought the Golden Scale Guard and Fang Xu to the inn in the town and happened to meet Yun Wan who had just gone out.

Glancing at Fang Xu's even more flattering appearance than yesterday, Yun Wan passed him by and looked at the twenty Golden Scale Guards, wondering, "Why did the prince bring so many guards?"

Li Xun was a little embarrassed.

In a small place like Fenglin Town, as a top martial artist, going out with a group of guards would really make people feel timid.

But what happened last night was still fresh in his mind, and he couldn't tell Yun Wan that he had been murdered.

"It would be more convenient to order some people around..." Li Xun evaded the question.

Yun Wan didn't care about this question either, and changed the subject directly: "Where are you going today, Prince?"

"Hulu Valley." Li Xun said.

Yesterday, he learned from Yun Wan that Yun Tianhe’s body was found in Hulu Valley. He wanted to go to Hulu Valley to see if he could find any traces.

"Fang Xu, do you know how to get to Hulu Valley?" Yun Wan looked at Fang Xu and said.

Although she knew that Fang Xu was deliberately pretending to be like this, Yun Wan still didn't like him like this.

Although Fang Xu was respectful in front of him in the past, he was less fawning and seemed neither humble nor arrogant.

But now he...

"Kid knows." Fang Xu cupped his hands and said, "Hulu Valley is outside Tilan Mountain. It is the medicine garden of the Wu family in town."

"Then lead the way." Li Xun said lightly.

Led by Fang Xu, the group quickly left Fenglin Town and headed directly to Tilan Mountain. After entering Tilan Mountain, the twenty Golden Scale Guards drew their weapons, protecting Li Xun and Yun Wan in the middle, and letting Fang Xu walk in front. Li Xun glanced at the "frightened" Fang Xu in front of him and couldn't help but sneered: "With this prince and sister Yun Wan here, and twenty Golden Scale Guards, what are you afraid of?"

Fang Xu turned around and bowed, saying, "Please forgive me, my lord. I heard that there are high-level beasts near Hulu Valley that can easily kill warriors at the Wu Tu realm."

"The boy is only at the second level of martial arts..."

"Alright! Alright!"

"You two, go with him."

Li Xun liked Fang Xu's energy and it was of some use to him. He didn't want to see him die, so he simply let two Golden Scale Guards stay with Fang Xu.

The Golden Scale Guards are the imperial guards of the Dayu Dynasty, and the elite among them are at least at the level of martial artists.

Although those brought by Li Xun were not elite, their cultivation was generally at the ninth level of martial arts, or even at the perfect level of martial arts.

With two Golden Scale Guards following him step by step, Fang Xu finally seemed a lot more "reassured".

Occasionally they would encounter some blind and ferocious beasts on the road, but Fang Xu didn't even need to take action, as the two Golden Scale Guards would quickly kill them.

Fang Xu hid aside, waiting for the Golden Scale Guard to kill the beast, and then he came to the beast's corpse and bowed, saying, "Prince, don't you want these blood foods?"

Li Xun glanced at the beast corpses with disdain and said, "Why would this prince want these filthy things?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Xu hurriedly pulled the corpses of the ferocious beasts to a secret place and temporarily covered them with straw.

As he did so, he muttered, "This one is heavy, it must be three hundred catties... one tael of silver and five catties... sixty taels of silver!"

"This one is a bit thin, only about 200 pounds, that's 40 taels of silver..."

Seeing Fang Xu hiding the corpses of the beasts like a money-grubber, Li Xun frowned slightly and said with contempt on his face: "Untouchables are untouchables. They are so happy with a little bit of profit."

"Okay, let's go!"

They walked and stopped along the way until noon when they finally arrived at Hulu Valley.

Full of hope, Li Xun immediately commanded twenty Golden Scale Guards to search the entire Hulu Valley for traces, while he himself jumped onto a towering rock to observe.

Seeing this, Fang Xu shook his head secretly.

Yun Wan seemed to notice his actions and immediately whispered, "Do you think he will gain anything this time?"

Fang Xu did not answer directly, but said calmly: "The body of the second master of the Yun family was found here. Obviously, there are no signs of fighting here."

Yun Wan nodded slightly and said, "Second Uncle must have escaped here with serious injuries, those people probably don't know."

"What a waste of time." Fang Xu said slowly, then looked at Yun Wan curiously and asked, "Why didn't Miss Yun tell the prince about these speculations?"

tell him?
Glancing at Li Xun standing on top of a boulder not far away, Yun Wan said with some disgust, "Isn't it good to see a proud genius get humiliated?"

Fang Xu curled his lips when he heard that. He didn't expect that Yun Wan was actually a scheming girl.

Just as the two had guessed, the Golden Scale Guards checked the entire Hulu Valley, but did not find any traces of the witch. Seeing that the sun was setting, Li Xun said angrily, "Let's go to the place where the soldiers were attacked!"

Fang Xu pretended not to know and said, "I don't know where the palace soldiers were attacked."

"Let me lead the way." Yun Wan interjected.

Under her leadership, the group came directly to the place where Wang Erhu and his soldiers were attacked.

Most of the bodies of the soldiers were eaten clean by hungry beasts, leaving only a pile of messy bones on the ground.

Arriving here, Fang Xu's expression suddenly tensed up.

That day, he buried Wang Erhu's body because they knew each other and couldn't bear to see it being eaten by wild beasts. If the Golden Scale Guards searched this area, they would definitely find Wang Erhu's grave!

Will it be discovered that I am the one who was responsible?

While recalling whether he had left any traces when he buried Wang Erhu that day, he was also thinking about how he should explain if he was discovered.

"Search carefully and don't miss any evidence!" Li Xun said excitedly.
