The next day, Fan Xing and the others came to the main hall of the Imperial Palace early to wait. From the distance between the Imperial Palace and the main hall, Fan Xing finally realized what luxury was. A small brick could cost an ordinary family a year.
Soon, Fan Xing, who was waiting outside the hall, was summoned by the Emperor. As soon as he entered the hall, Fan Xing recovered from his shock and walked to Emperor Ling of Han who was sitting on the dragon throne in the middle of the hall. He bowed and said loudly,"Fan Xing greets the emperor. Long live the emperor!”
The Spirit Monarch, who was sitting on the dragon throne, immediately smiled and said,""Minister Fan, there's no need to be so polite.”After Fan Xing stood up, the Spirit Monarch smiled and said,""My beloved minister is truly the pillar of our country. The Wuhuan and other foreign tribes have been wreaking havoc on our Great Han for a long time. Today, my beloved minister has swept away the Wuhuan and relieved our Great Han of its many years of hardship.”Fan Xing immediately pretended to be fearful and said,""These are all my duties. As a subject of the Great Han Dynasty, I should serve the Great Han Dynasty. It should be my blessing to be able to serve the Great Han Dynasty.”The Spirit Monarch was even happier after hearing Fan Xing's words. The smile on his face grew wider as he said,""Haha! It's my blessing that my beloved minister has such a heart.”Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He paused for a moment and then asked Fan Xing with interest,""Right! I heard that when you were fighting against the Wuhuan, you single-handedly killed six Wuhuan generals. Is this true?”"Yes," Fan Xing replied immediately. At this moment, a vigorous and powerful voice sounded,"The Wuhuan people have always been brave. Can you really kill their six generals?”His tone was filled with disbelief and disdain.
Fan Xing turned his head to the source of the voice and saw an old man in a court uniform. The old man had a resolute face, and it was obvious that he was a loyal man. However, he seemed to look down on Fan Xing. This person was Wang Yun. Although he felt that Fan Xing had an extraordinary temperament when he saw him, he looked down on Fan Xing's identity as the son of a businessman, so he made things difficult for him.
Fan Xing didn't know Wang Yun and was wondering when he had offended this old man. However, when he saw the disdain in the old man's eyes, he was furious and said,""Milord, if you don't believe me, you can test if I really have the ability to kill the six Wuhuan generals.”Wang Yun immediately bowed to the Spirit Monarch and said,""Your Majesty, since Governor Fan has said so, then let the six most powerful generals of the Imperial Guards have a competition with Governor Fan. What does Your Majesty think?”The Spirit Monarch also wanted to see Fan Xing's martial arts, so he nodded and said,""Mm, that's good. I also want to see Minister Fan's ability. I'll do as you say, Lord Situ.”When Fan Xing heard the Emperor address Wang Yun as Situ, he immediately knew his identity. He cursed in his heart, but he said calmly on the surface,""I will listen to the emperor's arrangements."
Just like that, the Spirit Monarch and the officials arrived at the arena. After they were all seated, the Spirit Monarch said to a eunuch beside him,""We can start now." This eunuch was Zhang Rang. When Zhang Rang heard the Emperor's order, he immediately shouted to everyone,""Let the competition begin. Governor Fan and the Imperial Guards, Li Tie, Zhang Hu, and Chen Fei, please step forward.”After Fan Xing heard Zhang Rang's shout, he immediately picked up the "Coiling Dragon" in his hand and walked to the center of the arena. The "Coiling Dragon" was taken from Dian Wei, who had been waiting outside the hall. The three generals of the Imperial Guards also took their weapons and walked to the center of the arena to face Fan Xing.
After greeting each other, two of the three generals of the Imperial Guards left. The remaining general held a knife in his hand and shouted at Fan Xing,""Bring it on!" His tone was filled with disdain, clearly looking down on Fan Xing. Fan Xing wasn't angry. He just smiled and stabbed the Coiling Dragon in his hand at the general like lightning. When the general reacted, he saw that his throat was pressed against the tip of the spear. He immediately broke out in cold sweat and didn't dare to move, afraid that the tip of the spear would pierce his throat. This move immediately won the praise of the Spirit Monarch and the officials, especially the Spirit Monarch. Wang Yun's expression was a little ugly. He had never expected Fan Xing to be so powerful. The next two generals of the imperial guards were also defeated by Fan Xing within three moves. The Spirit Emperor and the officials cheered for him, except for Wang Yun.
Back in the main hall, the Spirit Monarch happily said to Fan Xing,""Minister Fan's martial arts are truly formidable. I'm afraid that no one in the world can match them.”Fan Xing immediately bowed when he heard the Spirit Monarch praise his martial arts.""Your Majesty is too kind." "Alright!" the Spirit Monarch said happily. I won't say anything more. I'll give you the seal now.”Fan Xing took the seal from Zhang Rang and bowed to the Spirit Monarch."Thank you for your grace, Emperor." The Spirit Monarch nodded and smiled.”Then he said to the officials,"Minister Fan's affairs are over. If you have any memorials, please accept them. If you have no memorials, please leave."”Seeing that no one spoke, the Spirit Monarch nodded at Zhang Rang in satisfaction. Zhang Rang immediately understood and said loudly,"Retreat." Just like that, Fan Xing's first face-to-face with the emperor ended.
Not long after Fan Xing and the others left the palace, they saw a person walking toward them. This person looked ordinary, but his eyes were very spirited. He walked to Fan Xing's side and said,""Young Master, we have already prepared a courtyard outside the city. I guarantee that no one will know.”Fan Xing nodded." Very good. Did you dig a tunnel into the city?"”"I've already asked people to start digging. It'll be done in five days."”Fan Xing nodded." Alright. Arrange for more people to come to Luoyang."”"Understood, Young Master. Is there anything else I can do for you?" The man nodded.”Fan Xing shook his head." Not at the moment. You can go do your thing."”The man nodded and left.
Fan Xing didn't return to Fragrance House because he had bought a big manor in the city yesterday. So, this manor was now Fan Xing's main residence in Luoyang. Ling Xue and Ling Yu had been brought to the manor early today. Fan Xing and the others were on their way back to the manor.
Fan Xing soon arrived at the manor. After a day and a half of maintenance, the manor had become brand new. It was no longer as old as it was when he first saw it. Fan Xing and the others walked straight to the hall. As soon as they entered the hall, they saw Ling Xue and Ling Yu waiting inside. One look and they knew that the two sisters had been waiting for a long time. Fan Xing walked up to the two sisters and said,"Don't wait like this anymore.”"Young Master, but…" Before they could finish, Fan Xing interrupted them."Alright, there's no need to say anymore. Didn't I tell you not to call me Young Master? I didn't buy you to be slaves. Don't call me that anymore. Just call me Big Brother Fan.”The two sisters were touched.”Fan Xing looked at the two identical faces and felt his heart heat up. He revealed an evil smile and said,""Or you can call me Mister Fan.”Hearing Fan Xing's teasing, the two sisters blushed and lowered their heads. They grabbed the hem of their clothes and twisted them. Fan Xing was fascinated by their shy looks. Even their shy looks and actions were exactly the same. Fan Xing couldn't help but have some evil thoughts.
Just as the two sisters were about to faint from Fan Xing's lecherous gaze, a voice saved them.""Young Master, there's someone outside asking to see you." A servant came in to report to Fan Xing. The two sisters immediately took the opportunity to run away. Seeing the two lambs run away, Fan Xing immediately glared at the servant. The servant was so scared that he stood there and didn't dare to move. Although Fan Xing was very good to the servants and wouldn't hit them, he would play tricks on them. Those servants didn't dare to try again after one try. Now that the servant saw Fan Xing glaring at him, he was afraid that Fan Xing would think of some way to play tricks on him, so he immediately didn't dare to make a sound.
Seeing the servant's nervous look, Fan Xing deliberately chuckled. The servant became even more nervous. Seeing this, Fan Xing stopped teasing him and said,"Alright, don't worry. I won't do anything to you. Bring the person who wants to see you in.”The servant immediately heaved a sigh of relief and left with a smile.
Soon, the servant returned to the hall with another person following behind him. After bringing the person behind him to the hall, the servant left. The man bowed respectfully to Fan Xing and handed him an invitation.""My master has set up a banquet tonight and wants to invite Daren to the residence to host the banquet tonight.”"I don't think I know anyone here. Who's your master?" Fan Xingqi asked curiously.”"My master is Cai Yong, Master Cai."”Fan Xing was even more puzzled when he heard this. Why would Cai Yong suddenly invite him to pay for the banquet? However, there was nothing much to do if he went over. Moreover, he might have the chance to meet that famous talented woman. He took the invitation and said,"Alright, I'll definitely be there on time tonight.”Seeing Fan Xing accept the invitation and promise to be there tonight, the man immediately said,""Then I shall take my leave." After that person left, Fan Xing thought to himself, I wonder if Cai Yan is really as beautiful and talented as the history says.”As he thought about it, a smile appeared on his face. He looked like a hunter who had seen his prey.
