Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 52 Another trouble, escape!
Looking at Yun Wan who had already walked out of the tavern, Fang Xu was a little hesitant.

Although this woman looked very pleasing to the eye, he didn't want to have too much contact with her.

Firstly, she was from the Yun family, and her main purpose of coming to Fenglin Town was to obtain the "Yan Shen Zang". Secondly, Fang Xu discovered that this woman was very smart and had a sharp intuition.

Even though she seems gentle and peaceful towards him now, once she knows that he has the "Yan Shen Zang" in his hand and that he was the one who burned his second uncle's body, Fang Xu feels that he will definitely die under her sword.

But I can't refuse now, otherwise it will only make her more suspicious.

After some thought in his mind, Fang Xu followed.

The moonlight was like water, and there were gusts of cool breeze. The two of them walked one after the other on the streets of Fenglin Town. In the distance, the thousand-year-old maple tree slowly swayed its newly sprouted tender leaves in the breeze.

"Li Xun wants to marry me. Help me think of any way to refuse." Yun Wan suddenly spoke.

Fang Xu, who was thinking about something with his head down, was almost choked by her question. He looked at the handsome face in front of him in astonishment, smiled bitterly and bowed: "Miss Yun, please don't embarrass me."

These two people, one is the prince of the dynasty, and the other is the princess of Huangzhou Prefecture. I am already walking on thin ice, so how dare I get involved in this matter?

"Think about it. I believe you can think of a solution." Yun Wan said with no doubt in her tone.

She knew very well that if Li Xingchao went to her father to mention this matter, there was a 90% chance that her father would sacrifice his own happiness and agree to it for the sake of the family's future.

Fang Xu was helpless and could only smile bitterly: "Marriage is a matter of mutual consent. If Miss Yun is unwilling, just reject it directly."

Yun Wan shook her head: "The current emperor is in seclusion and Li Xun's father, Li Xingchao, is one of the actual rulers of the current dynasty."

"Li Xingchao is an ambitious man. In order to compete for power with the eldest prince, he has been constantly trying to win over the major families in the seven states and suppress dissidents over the years."

"If I refuse directly, I will offend him. My Yun family has been in decline in recent years. Now that my second uncle has passed away unexpectedly, I don't know how many families are eyeing the Yun family."

The Yun family has become weak?
Fang Xu frowned slightly and said, "Does that mean we can't offend him?"

Yun Wan nodded: "We must not offend him. Li Xingchao is a vindictive person. If we offend him, the Yun family will definitely have a harder time in the future."

"Then agree to it." Fang Xu said, "According to what Miss said, the Seventh Prince is very capable and has a chance to take the throne of Emperor Yu in the future. By then, the Crown Prince Li Xun will be the Crown Prince, and Miss Yun, you will be the Crown Princess. The future Emperor..."

"That's enough!" Yun Wan glared at him fiercely and sighed, "I would rather die than marry Li Xun."

"Then go to hell." Fang Xu suddenly spoke.

Yun Wan's beautiful eyes suddenly widened when she heard this. Her pretty face was filled with surprise. Then a cold look flashed in her eyes and she asked, "Are you kidding me!?"

Feeling the pressure from the ninth level of martial artist, Fang Xu quickly said, "Ms. Yun, don't be angry. Just listen to me."

Yun Wan suppressed the anger in her heart and said coldly: "Speak!"

Fang Xu hurriedly continued, "What the boy meant was to let Miss Yun escape by faking her own death."

suspended animation?

The fierce aura on Yun Wan's body slowly dissipated, and she turned curiously and asked, "How do we do it?"

Fang Xu thought for a moment and said, "Miss Yun, think about it. If you were to die unexpectedly... I mean, if the Seventh Prince got the news of your death, would he embarrass the Yun family?"

Yun Wan thought for a moment and said, "Of course not."

“Although the Yun family is in a slightly declining state, they are still the lords of Huangzhou after all, and Li Xingchao will not go too far.”

Hearing this, Fang Xu immediately smiled and said, "That's it."

"Miss Yun just needs to think of a way to make her death more reasonable and natural, and the matter will be settled."

"But this matter is still a little difficult to handle..."

"Miss Yun died suddenly at this critical moment. The Seventh Prince will definitely find it strange. If he finds out that you deceived him, the entire Yun family will probably suffer."

This is a magical world. The Golden Scale Guards under Li Xun could easily tell that Wang Erhu's grave was buried shortly after his death. Fang Xu was not sure whether some powerful warriors had the ability to determine life and death.

"That's easy!" Yun Wan's eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "I've thought of a good place!" Fang Xu was curious: "Where?"

Yun Wan looked up at the Tilan Mountain outside Fenglin Town, which looked like a dormant dragon, and said, "There."

Fang Xu turned around and looked at Tilan Mountain in the distance.

"An ancient relic appeared in Tilan Mountain. The relic is extremely dangerous. Even warriors at the Martial Honor level dare not go deep into it. My second uncle was hunted down and died in Hulu Valley just because he was trying to explore the relic."

"He said in his letter that the ruins seemed to be a world of their own, able to completely block the deductions of Feng Shui masters."

"If I went to that ruins and died inside, Li Xingchao would definitely not risk sending someone in to confirm it."

Fang Xu looked at her in astonishment and said, "Miss Yun, I want you to fake your death, not really die."

"It is extremely dangerous for a warrior at the Martial Honor level to go in, you..."

"No need to say more, I've made up my mind!" Yun Wan interrupted Fang Xu, turned to look at him and said, "But I still need your help with this matter."

"Tomorrow morning... now, you go to the government office and tell Li Xun that I have entered the Tilanshan ruins."

"This..." Fang Xu was a little embarrassed.

Seeing Fang Xu hesitate, Yun Wan suddenly drew her sword and put it on his neck and said, "If you don't help me, I will kill you now."

Fang Xu smiled bitterly. He could feel that although Yun Wan said she wanted to kill him, there was no murderous intent in her.

"Miss Yun, would you consider it again?"

Yun Wan shook her head and said with determination: "Fang Xu, if I enter the ruins and survive, I will return your kindness when I come out one day."

"If I die in the ruins, it will be a relief."

After saying this, she untied the purse from her waist, and then took out a piece of exquisite jade from the interlayer of her belt and handed it to Fang Xu, saying: "There is a deposit deed for 100 taels of gold in the purse. I will give it to you as a thank you gift."

"This jade token is my keepsake. If you run into trouble in the future, you can take it to the Yun family to seek help."

After stuffing the thing into Fang Xu's hand, Yun Wan jumped up and jumped onto the eaves of the house next to her. After a few leaps, she disappeared into the night sky.

"Miss Yun!"

Fang Xu shouted, but seeing that Yun Wan had already walked away, he could only look at the thing in his hand helplessly.

"Troublesome..."

How should I tell Li Xun?
After thinking for a long time, Fang Xu picked up a stone from the roadside, gritted his teeth, and hit himself on the head!
The blow made his eyes see stars and he almost fainted.

Covering his head, Fang Xu murmured, "This should be fine."

Enduring the pain, he stumbled to the gate of the government office and knocked on the door.

Inside the courtyard, the Golden Scale Guard opened the door, saw the injured Fang Xu, frowned, and led him in.

"Where is the prince? Go and tell him that I have something important to report."

In the room, Li Xun had just woken up from a nightmare when he heard Fang Xu's crying. He came to the yard in a somewhat irritated state. Seeing Fang Xu's face covered in blood and staggering steps, he asked, "What happened?"

Fang Xu quickly said, "My Lord, after you left, Miss Yun suddenly said she wanted to go to some ruins. I wanted to persuade her, but she had made up her mind and knocked me unconscious."

"When the boy woke up, he found that she was gone."

what! ?

Li Xun was slightly surprised when he heard this. Yun Wan went to the Tilan Mountain ruins! ?
The royal family had already secretly investigated the ruins. Any martial arts master who entered would be in danger of death. Once they go deep into it, they will surely die!

Yun Wan is only at the ninth level of martial arts, wouldn’t it be courting death if she went in?
