C10

The next morning, Han Xiao mixed the Longevity Pill with Little Lei Zi's rice and watched him eat it. Han Xiao felt a sense of guilt, but he immediately disappeared.

"Seventh Prince, don't you know how soft and warm the bed I slept on last night is? I've never slept in a bed like this since I was young." When he saw Han Xiao and Little Lei, he ran over excitedly and said.

Seeing the sincerity and laughter in Xiao Lei Zi's eyes, Han Xiao felt for the first time that he might have done something wrong, but that thought only lasted for a moment. Since he had already decided, he had no plans to regret it.

"Seventh Prince, the outside of Fengxian Palace has been cleaned up. You can go out today without worry." Xiao Jianfeng hurriedly ran in and said. When he saw Little Lei, a look of complication flashed across his eyes.

"I do not need to worry about bodyguard Lei's work, Cousin Jianfeng, it's outside the palace." Han Xiao asked.

"I've already sent someone to take care of matters outside the palace. I'll be able to hear the letter in two days." Xiao Jianfeng respectfully said.

"Then thank you, Cousin Jianfeng, I came back too late and did not practice that martial arts. Little Lei Zi, you stay behind and learn from the rules of the palace. Cousin Jianfeng, come with me to the bamboo forest and be my sparring partner." After saying that, Han Xiao turned around and strode out of Fengxian Palace, and Xiao Jianfeng hurriedly followed him.

Walking outside of the Fengxian Palace, Han Xiao saw that the path in front of the Dangerous Temple had indeed been cleared up just like Xiao Jianfeng had said. Thinking of the dozen or so people who died here yesterday, Han Xiao closed his eyes and opened them again, his eyes no longer containing any emotion as he quickly walked in the direction of the bamboo forest.

Because it was already the end of autumn, the originally green bamboo leaves had already become yellow. The autumn wind blew against them, sweeping up a fallen leaf and bringing with it a hint of coolness.

As Xiao Jianfeng walked along the bamboo forest path, the fallen leaves he stepped on all over the ground emitted creaking sounds. He recalled the book he had seen yesterday, the Heavenly Thunder Sword Technique, and he casually broke off a bamboo in his hand and continued to walk towards the depths of the bamboo forest under Xiao Jianfeng's puzzled gaze.

After about half an incense's time, Han Xiao finally reached the depths of the bamboo forest. Raising his head and looking at the dazzling sunlight, he slowly picked up the bamboo in his hand and pointed at Xiao Jianfeng who was following closely behind him: "Cousin Jianfeng, please make your move."

Xiao Jianfeng was stunned for a moment, then realizing that he was here as a training partner, he hesitated for a moment and was about to pull out his long blade, but seeing Han Xiao's figure flash towards him, he instantly pulled out his long blade, tiptoeing lightly towards Han Xiao's direction.

"Dang." Seeing Han Xiao once again chasing after him with the bamboo in his hand, Xiao Jianfeng did not dare to be careless. The long blade in his hand danced quickly, a light blue colored source of Origin Energy slowly overflowed from his body and wrapped around the long blade, while the water vapor around Xiao Jianfeng's body also gradually increased, and followed the direction of the sword in his hand to wrap Han Xiao.

"First style of the Heavenly Thunder Sword Art, Heavenly Thunder Annihilation." His entire body was like a bolt of lightning that streaked across the sky. Although he did not move at all, it gave Xiao Jianfeng the impression that he was right in front of him, as he hurriedly blocked the long blade in his hand, but when the long blade slashed down, Xiao Jianfeng felt that something was wrong and hurriedly retreated, but it was already too late. Han Xiao had already pointed his toes out and arrived in front of him, and the bamboo in his hand seemed to have turned into a divine weapon, piercing through the space in front of Xiao Jianfeng's neck.

Xiao Jianfeng was experienced enough to know that the situation was not good for him. He turned his hand, took out a blue dagger, and slashed at Han Xiao's chest with a fighting stance.

"Xi Xi" suddenly sounded the sound of water. Han Xiao saw that the dagger in front of him seemed to have turned into a water dragon, but also seemed to have turned into a surging river.

"Earth Soul, Spirit Plunder." The water vapor that was originally filling the air seemed to have met its nemesis, as it quickly retreated back into Xiao Jianfeng's body, not daring to take another step forward. Han Xiao took this opportunity to take a step forward, and used his elbow to strike Xiao Jianfeng's chin, causing the ground to shake.

Feeling the strength on Han Xiao's body, Xiao Jianfeng dodged Han Xiao's attack and at the same time raised his left hand to grab Han Xiao's elbow.

Han Xiao seemed to have guessed that Xiao Jianfeng would do this. He turned his left elbow and kicked Xiao Jianfeng's left hand with his high kicks, and at the same time, he turned around and sent a roundhouse kick towards Xiao Jianfeng's chin.

"Ka", his chin and hand were kicked, making Xiao Jianfeng feel as if he was smashed by a heavy stone. The clear sound of his jaw being kicked made him even more suspicious of his jaw bone.

"Cousin Jianfeng, I'm sorry I lost control earlier." Seeing Xiao Jianfeng's face full of pain while holding onto his chin, Han Xiao hurriedly withdrew his leg and said apologetically.

"I'm fine, but I don't know what martial art you used just now, Seventh Prince. I always felt that your moves were very simple and strange." Xiao Jianfeng held his injured chin and asked with difficulty.

"I was playing around with this when I had nothing better to do. It can't be called a martial art." If he wanted to say Taekwondo, then Xiao Jianfeng might ask what Taekwondo was, he did not have time to explain that.

So that's how it is. It seems like the Seventh Prince is a martial arts genius, even his usual fighting style has such great power. If it was matched with a good martial art or technique, even a genius of the Abyss Level Academy would not be a match for the Seventh Prince." Xiao Jianfeng said excitedly.

Hearing Xiao Jianfeng mention the Oming School Han Xiao, he had always been hesitant about whether he should go to the Oming School or the Soul-Filling Academy after leaving the Yun Ming Dynasty. Now that he thought about it, the Oming School might be more suited for him.

Seeing that Xiao Jianfeng had injured Han Xiao and let him return first, he himself practiced in the bamboo forest for a while to recall the scene of his body's earth spirit forcing Xiao Jianfeng's water body to retreat, and the feeling of him attaching his source energy to the bamboo, only after the afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face and Xiao Jianfeng's figure once again appeared in the bamboo forest did he reluctantly put down the bamboo in his hand and follow Xiao Jianfeng back to the Virtuous Phoenix Palace.

Seventh Prince, just now, someone outside replied that an old man dressed as a death soldier had pretended to eat a meal at the Fragrant Bamboo Restaurant and died there. During the day, the Fragrant Bamboo Restaurant was already very lively, especially when the people we sent out always left their corpses there, claiming that they would not leave until they were done talking. Xiao Jianfeng hurriedly said the moment they returned to the Palace.

"Oh, what's the reaction from the boss of the Fragrant Bamboo Restaurant?" Han Xiao asked indifferently.

"The owner of the Fragrant Bamboo Restaurant has always said that someone framed him. Moreover, in the evening, my people saw the owner of the Fragrant Bamboo Restaurant sending someone to the palace. However, it seems that person in the palace didn't see him." Xiao Jianfeng said.

"Yesterday, Han Xiangtian killed a few of Han Zhao's men in front of my Fengxian Palace. Now, Han Zhao naturally doesn't dare to do anything." Han Xiao said indifferently, as a calculating look flashed in his eyes.

"Then what should we do now?" Xiao Jianfeng asked.

"Just you wait, I think that although I dare not openly, I will secretly take action. Tomorrow, send someone to watch over the Fragrant Bamboo Restaurant, and the bigger the better. It would be best if someone from the City Lord's Mansion came to participate, and Han Zhao was forced to abandon the Fragrant Bamboo Restaurant." Han Xiao said as he took a sip of tea.

At the other side of the hall, the three emperors were discussing "Third Imperial Brother, right now, the evil people of the Fragrant Bamboo Restaurant have been surrounding them and are unwilling to leave. If this matter is not properly resolved, then I'm afraid the reputation of the Fragrant Bamboo Restaurant will be affected." Han Yu said worriedly.

"So what if they are affected? "I really underestimated Han Xiao at first, thinking that he was just a seventeen year old child, with good talent it doesn't matter. But now, it seems like his shrewdness is quite deep, after using the Xiao Family's Duke of Xiao's men to kill more than a dozen of my experts yesterday, he has even managed to catch the attention of my Fragrance Bamboo Restaurant today." Han Zhao gritted his teeth and said.

"Third Imperial Brother's meaning is that Han Xiao was the one who did all of this, how could he have such thoughts?" Han Yu hurriedly denied it.

"I didn't believe it in the beginning, but the truth is right in front of us. Otherwise, how could the people of the Xiao Family appear here just in time, and how did they happen to appear in the Bamboo Fragrance Pavilion today? Don't forget that the Xiao Family has a lot of Death Soldiers." Han Zhao looked at Han Yu meaningfully and said.

"If it was really Han Xiao's doing, the Third Imperial Brother shouldn't have let him off so easily. The Fragrant Bamboo Restaurant has been our effort for many years, how could it be destroyed like this?" Han Yu said bitterly.

"You don't need to say that, I will naturally do it. Han Xiao will let him know the consequences of offending me, and tomorrow morning he will send someone to pretend to be someone from another restaurant, saying that those people who are causing trouble are here to swindle money, and that the dead man is also pretending to be dead. Now we will chase them out of the Bamboo Fragrance Pavilion, then send someone to the City Lord's Mansion to call them over, and capture them for the crime of framing and blackmailing others." Han Zhao said coldly.

The next morning, Han Yu rushed out of the palace, but when he arrived at the Fragrant Bamboo Restaurant, he was stunned, the originally elegant decorations were already in tatters, and the front door was blocked by a group of people. The City Lord's Mansion had brought a few people out of the Fragrant Bamboo Restaurant, and it was exactly Han Xiao who was afraid that something might happen to Xiao Jianfeng yesterday, so he called for the City Lord.

That same afternoon, the news came again saying that the person who died at the Fragrant Pavilion was the Seventh Prince's man, and now that the Seventh Prince had gotten angry and asked the Mayor to handle this matter, the Mayor was in a hurry to find out who Han Xiao was and seal off the Fragrant Pavilion. By the time Han Zhao finally reacted, the restaurant was already bought cheaply by another stranger, and he lost to Han Xiao just like that.
