Chapter 90: The First Person Under Grandmaster

Fan Xian declined the Second Prince's invitation, saying that he had an appointment with Lin Wan'er.

Of course, he didn't completely refuse, but said that he would make an appointment again when he was free another day.

Although this means the same as a direct rejection, it still leaves room for maneuver.

"Ruoruo, Brother Ye needs to sort these books. I have to go to Wan'er's place this afternoon. Do you have anything to do? If you have nothing to do, please help Brother Ye."

Because Fan Xian visited the Prime Minister's Mansion several times, his relationship with Lin Wan'er has made great progress.

Nowadays, you no longer have to sneak there at night to visit the Royal Villa. You can just go there during the day.

"I don't have anything to do. You can stay and help Brother Ye later." Fan Ruoruo nodded.

"Then I'll trouble Ruoruo." Qin Feng bowed with a smile.

Although these books had been collected by the servants in the hall, they had not been classified in detail.

What the two of them have to do now is to classify the books and put them away.

This is not a difficult task because the items have already been roughly classified when they are sent by the Inspection Institute.

Fan Xian said this because he felt that Ruoruo was careful in her work, and he also wanted Fan Ruoruo and Qin Feng to get to know each other better, so that at least they wouldn't be awkward when they met.

Not long after, Fan Xian left.

Only Qin Feng and Fan Ruoruo were left in the room.

"Brother Ye, how do we divide these books?"

Fan Ruoruo is a smart person. She knows what to say and what not to say.

At this time, she just focused on doing her work. She did whatever Qin Feng asked her to do and ignored everything else.

"It's very simple. Just categorize them into Qinggong, Gongfa, boxing, palm techniques, sword techniques, etc."

Qin Feng didn't need to worry about the difficulty level now. He planned to finish reading the more than one hundred books first.

As for the more than one thousand books here, he can only read them slowly later.

In this way, Fan Ruoruo and Qin Feng finished classifying all the books in a short time.

During this period, Liu Ruyu and Fan Sizhe came to Fan Xian once each.

Liu Ruyu said that this matter should be asked to be done by the servants. After Fan Ruoruo said that this was something Fan Xian had personally instructed, Liu Ruyu no longer insisted.

As for Fan Sizhe, this guy just came to look for Fan Xian, and when he found no one there, he just slipped away.

When there were outsiders around, Qin Feng would of course hide in the dark, and only come out after they left.

"Okay Ruoruo, the books have been distributed. Thank you very much."

"Why thank me? It's all my duty." Fan Ruoruo smiled.

Then he said, "Brother Ye, would you like some bayberry coconut juice? The kind with ice cubes, it's delicious."

"Okay." Qin Feng nodded.

Now is the season when bayberries are ripe, and they are sold in many places outside.

Although ice cubes are expensive, they can be bought.

But this coconut juice is different. The coconuts are not yet ripe and are not available for sale in coastal cities, let alone Kyoto.

These coconut juices are tributes to the palace.

Fan Jian was also deeply favored by the emperor, so he had these things, which were not available outside.

Not long after, Fan Ruoruo came back with drinks.

"It tastes great." Qin Feng took a sip and exclaimed.

Fan Ruoruo was also holding a bowl in her hand and eating slowly.

After spending some time together, she found that Qin Feng was a relatively easy person to talk to.

So Fan Ruoruo asked, "Brother Ye, can I ask you a question?"

"You say." Qin Feng was stunned and nodded.

He was rather curious about what questions Fan Ruoruo would ask.

"Did you have a meal here with my brother a few nights ago?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Qin Feng nodded.

There is no need to hide this matter from Fan Ruoruo, and it has already passed.

"That day, I always felt that there was someone in the yard. Were you in the yard at that time?"

Fan Ruoruo asked this question mainly to satisfy her own curiosity.

"Yes, I saw you directing the servants to clean up the dishes that day."

Qin Feng felt a little surprised. He was sure that he had restrained his breathing and footsteps at that time. Not to mention ordinary people, even warriors above the ninth rank would not be able to discover him.

"It's really you!" A satisfied smile appeared on Fan Ruoruo's face as if she had discovered the truth.

"Anything else you want to ask?" Qin Feng found that Fan Ruoruo looked pretty when she smiled.

"Gone."

I asked the question just now just to satisfy my curiosity. As for the rest, Fan Ruoruo didn't know what to ask.

She saw that Qin Feng had finished drinking the coconut milk in the bowl and had eaten all the bayberries.

So he said, "Brother Ye, do you want to drink more? I'll go get you another bowl."

"No need." Qin Feng waved his hand, "That's enough."

Fan Ruoruo took the bowl and placed it on the tray, then asked, "Then I won't bother Brother Ye."

After saying that, Fan Ruoruo picked up the tray and left the yard.

Qin Feng's words marked the beginning of today's study.

at dusk.

Fan Xian came back, and he had already sent Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing away in advance.

"Brother Ye, Wan'er, Ruoruo and others and I are going out of town for an outing tomorrow. Do you want to come with us?" Fan Xian asked Qin Feng as soon as he arrived in the yard.

"What am I going to do?" Qin Feng asked, putting down the book in his hand.

In his situation, it was naturally better for him to go out for an outing? It was a good idea that only a very smart person could come up with.

"It's not good for Brother Ye to stay at home every day. It's good to go out and relax, even if you're not with us."

Although this martial arts secret book is interesting, one cannot read it all day long. Fan Xian feels that if Qin Feng continues like this, something bad will happen.

Of course, this is only a secondary issue. The main thing is that Fan Xian wants to get Qin Feng to do something together.

He wanted to find a manor outside the city: Taiping Villa!
He went to ask Fan Jian, but the other party didn't tell him, so he had to find it himself.

The purpose of going out for an outing is for this purpose.

"Dangdangdang! Brother Ye, look, this is a mask I made especially for you."

As he spoke, Fan Xian took out a leather mask from his arms.

This mask was made by Fan Xian slowly over the past two days.

"With this mask, it might work wonders when I go out next time."

Qin Feng took the mask and tried it on his face.

It feels pretty good. I can wear it if I need to take action in the future.

Qin Feng put away the mask and said, "You guys go have fun. I won't go."

Going outings are really boring. How can they compare with studying?
The feeling of having knowledge filling your mind is truly a pleasure.

Long live learning! I love learning!
"Brother Ye, I..."

Fan Xian was about to speak, but then he thought that Brother Ye might know something.

Although I can't tell him the box my mother left behind, I should be able to ask about the location of Taiping Villa.

So Fan Xian said, "Let me ask you a question. Have you heard of the name Taiping Villa?" He was just asking casually and didn't have too high expectations.

"I've heard of it. It's the courtyard where your mother used to live." Qin Feng nodded.

"Have you heard of it?" Fan Xian asked excitedly, "Then do you know where it is?"

Hearing this, Qin Feng immediately knew that Fan Xian was going to open the box left by Ye Qingmei.

There is a Barrett sniper rifle in there, which is a good thing.

And right now, Qin Feng felt that this was an opportunity to completely gain Fan Xian's trust.

Through the secret codes and knowing about Wu Zhu, Qin Feng already had a high level of trust in Fan Xian.

What if he also knew about this box?
That only means one thing, that this master of his who has never appeared before has a very good relationship with Ye Qingmei, and his trust level will also be greatly improved.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng asked curiously, "Brother Xian, do you want to open the box your mother left behind?"

Fan Xian: “???”

Something is wrong!
Something is 110% wrong!
How come Brother Ye knows everything? Is there anything he doesn't know?
"Why do you look like that? My master told me that your mother used to like to carry a box on her back. It was a rectangular box made of a very special material that required a special key to open."

"And the key is either in Taiping Villa or in the Imperial Palace." Qin Feng said slowly.

Hearing this, Fan Xian thought to himself: It's settled!

Brother Ye is definitely one of us!
At this moment, in Fan Xian's heart, Qin Feng was simply an angel sent by his mother to help him. His trust level was extremely high and he was directly ranked first!
Of course, the first place only lasts for this moment.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng's position was ranked second because Uncle Wu Zhu became the first.

After a few seconds, his position was even about to drop to third place, because Lin Wan'er was rising up, followed by Fan Ruoruo.

To be honest, if Qin Feng knew what was going on in Fan Xian's mind at this moment, he would probably laugh out loud.

"Brother Ye, my dear brother, please tell me who your master is. Is he a hidden grandmaster?!"

At this moment, Fan Xian was already certain that Qin Feng's master definitely had a special relationship with his mother.

And from Qin Feng's master, he must be able to learn a lot about Ye Qingmei, and Fan Xian is very curious about this.

"I really can't say."

Qin Feng shook his head and said, "Let's talk about Taiping Villa. If I remember correctly, that place should be in the east of the city."

"I don't know exactly where it is. Five miles away? Ten miles away? Anyway, it's not far, no more than ten miles away. There's a river over there, it's easy to find!"

Qin Feng couldn't remember clearly, he only remembered that it was in the east of the city.

"This information is enough. We will find it soon! How about we go and look for it tonight?"

Fan Xian said, "Uncle Wu Zhu is here. If we follow him, no one will notice us."

"How are you going to find it in the middle of the night? And I think the key is probably inside the palace. What's going on?"

As Qin Feng was talking, he noticed that Fan Xian was looking behind him.

At this moment, Qin Feng thought of something and turned around immediately.

Then he found that Wuzhu was standing behind him, holding an iron rod in his hand.

When did it appear? How is this possible?!
Qin Feng's eyes were full of shock.

Because before Fan Xian turned his head, he had no idea there was anyone behind him.

No sound, no breath, no feeling, just nothing.

In his perception, there was just a ball of air behind him.

Is this a grandmaster-level existence? If we really wanted to kill him, he would have died long ago.

"Greetings, Master Five." Qin Feng bowed quickly.

"Uncle Wu Zhu, this is the Brother Ye I told you about. His master should be very familiar with my mother. Do you have any impression of him now?" Fan Xian asked hurriedly.

"Can not remember."

Wu Zhu then looked at Qin Feng and said, "I heard that you want to spar with me."

"Yes, yes, I hope Master Five can give me some advice." Qin Feng said hurriedly.

The guidance of the grandmaster is priceless experience, and he must grasp it.

"You are no match for me."

Wu Zhu's tone was as calm as ever.

"Let's just have a competition. Winning or losing is not important." Qin Feng said hurriedly.

At this time, Fan Xian on the side also said: "Uncle, just spar with Brother Ye, don't hurt him."

In his heart, Qin Feng is a fairly smart martial arts fanatic.

The martial arts fanatic's mind is filled with martial arts, and sparring with a great master like Wu Zhu is something he only dreams of.

"Row."

Wu Zhu nodded and walked towards the door.

Although the open space in the yard is not large, it is enough for training.

When Wuzhu walked over, his movements were natural, relaxed and normal.

But Qin Feng was different. At this moment, every time he took a step, a martial art began to circulate in his body.

He practiced each of the Guiyi Gong, Iron Tower Gong, and Tyrannical Gong Jue techniques to activate his true Qi, which was a warm-up.

When ninth-rank warriors fight each other, the difference in damage caused by a rash attack and a premeditated attack is often huge.

The reason is that the true Qi is not active.

Now, after some warm-up, Qin Feng's physical condition has reached an excellent state.

"Fifth Master, I am ready."

Qin Feng stood five meters away from Wu Zhu, bowed and said something.

"You take action. If you don't, you will have no chance." Wu Zhu said.

Hearing this, Qin Feng's eyes fixed.

He stepped on the Luoyan Step and moved as fast as a bird. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Wuzhu.

Qin Feng's internal energy circulated, his hands were like the Eight Diagrams, and a pair of Shaoyang Fists directly blocked all of Wu Zhu's escape routes.

Qin Feng used all his strength to throw this punch!

If it hits hard, even a huge rock will probably explode.

If it hits a person, it can turn the person into a ball of bloody mist, leaving nothing behind.

But at this critical moment, Wuzhu didn't even use the iron rod, but just gave a light palm with his left hand.

It seemed slow, and Qin Feng tried to stop it, but his speed was too slow and he couldn't stop it at all.

This palm strike came later but arrived first, hitting Qin Feng's abdomen directly, blocking the circulation of his true energy.

At this moment, the true energy in Qin Feng's hands was like a rootless duckweed, and his strength dissipated greatly.

The next second, he felt a huge force coming from his stomach, and he flew several feet away as if he was hit by a dump truck.

Fortunately, Wu Zhu did not really intend to hurt Qin Feng with this attack, otherwise that palm strike would have probably killed him instantly.

"Excuse me, did the Fifth Master use his full strength just now?" Qin Feng rolled up from the ground and asked while gasping for breath.

He was not asking about the damage caused by the last palm strike. There was no doubt that he had held back on his strength. Qin Feng could feel it. When it was about to hit him, Wu Zhu's palm slowed down a lot.

He was asking about Wuzhu's level when he struck out with his palm.

Because Qin Feng at that time had clearly tried his best, but still couldn't stop the opponent, and he wanted to know how big the gap was.

"Less than 10%."

Wu Zhu looked at Qin Feng and said, "You are very powerful among the ninth rank. You should be the number one person under the Grandmaster."

Hearing this, Fan Xian exclaimed: "Brother Ye is indeed Brother Ye. Even my uncle admits that he is the best person under the Grandmaster! He is really amazing!"
