The folding fan closed, and the lazy voice rang out once again: "If there is a room with three tigers that did not fight, I wonder what the two of you think is the reason?"

Tang Xiao was silent for a moment, and Yun Kai didn't answer.

The man in green was not embarrassed at all. He smiled and replied, "Perhaps it's because the three tigers are like tigers, but they're actually foxes."

"You think we're both foxes?" Tang Xiao asked.

The green-robed young master laughed leisurely, "Of course."

Tang Xiao's brows rose. "May I ask why?"

The green-clothed young master lowered his eyes, his light green fan flipped between his white fingers, and steadily landed on his palm. A fox, a cunning person. His voice was similar, but his spirit was very different. As the saying goes, a mountain cannot hold two tigers. On the other hand, a fox knows how to avoid three tigers. Rather than kill each other, why not help each other... But does that make sense? "

"Tsk, tsk." Tang Xiao replied. "It'd be a waste of talent if young master didn't run a school."

The green clothed young master stroked his chin, "What do I need to teach in the academy? Teach people how to steal things? "

Tang Xiao was a little taken aback, but then he broke in with a laugh. "I'd forgotten your business, young master."

The young man in cyan said, "That's why I only have some shady skills, but I can't become a teacher."

"Young master's words are wrong." Yun Kai raised an eyebrow at the green-clothed young master, and then smiled faintly, "The thief is executed, the thief is a marquis."

The expression in the young man's eyes deepened as he continued smiling, "Don't tell me Hall Master Yun is going to curse me to death?"

Yun Kai only smiled, "Just a casual remark, Young Noble need not take it seriously."

The Young Master in cyan also thought that he did not know the meaning behind his words and did not mention the matter: "Hall Master Tang, if you find me long-winded, I will ask point-blank – are the two Palace Masters satisfied with the transaction we have discussed?"

Yun Kai nodded his head, "Of course I'm satisfied."

The green-clothed young master asked with a smile, "Then... "Happy cooperation?"

Yun Kai laughed, "Looks like I'm Young Noble's subordinate from now on, right?"

The young man in cyan said, "Hall Master Yu Yun, Qingyi should treat you with the courtesy of a close friend."

Yun Kai naturally did not take his words seriously, and only asked: "Then do I have a free will?"

The green-robed young master was surprised, "When have I ever intended to restrict Hall Master Yun's freedom? If Hall Master Yun wasn't willing to resist, who would be able to make Hall Master Yun stay here? "

Yun Kai laughed, "I'll go with you, but I want to know first where you want to take me."

The green-robed young master waved his hand, "What is the meaning of Palace Master Yun's words? Since I am sincerely inviting him, why would I restrict Hall Master Yun's movements? At the very most, it is because the Netherworld Valley lacks manpower. I hope that Hall Master Yun can help out. "

"The Dark Valley?" Yun Kai pondered for a moment, "Since Young Noble trusts me, how can I possibly evade? Young Master shall arrange everything, this Yun shall do as you say. "

He had come here for a long time now. He stood up with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I will come back three days later. I will not disturb you anymore."

Yun Kai stood up and bowed, "I will pack my luggage in three days, wait for Young Noble to come back."

Seeing that Tang Xiao was about to send him off, the green-robed young man added, "I know the path to the Puppet Palace. There's no need for Hall Master Tang to accompany me."

Tang Xiao was silent for a moment, and then nodded his head in agreement. He raised his hand in a gesture of farewell. "Please."

Yun Kai also said, "Young Master, this way please."

"Two hall masters, please wait." He turned around and left.

"What is it? Do you find this person very interesting? " After he had left for a short while, Tang Xiao pulled out a chair and sat down four steps away from Yun Kai, smiling as he asked.

Yun Kai slowly nodded his head, his expression solemn, "It is indeed interesting."

"I didn't expect you and I to have the upper hand over him." Tang Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes.

Yun Kai looked at him for a while, and then revealed a faint smile, "I do not like fighting, and I do not have your strong arrogance. Since you are the future master of the Puppet Palace, the stronger you are, the better it will be. "

"It's been a long time since anyone has come alone in such a dangerous situation," Tang Xiao Ai said, looking around.

Yun Kai asked, "It seems that you admire him?"

Tang Xiao said, smacking his lips. "To say I admire it would be to say I admire it."

Yun Kai was surprised, "There aren't many people that can make you say the word 'admiration'."

Tang Xiao smirked. "That's right. Is he one of them?"

Yun Kai asked, "It seems you're not sure?"

Tang Xiao couldn't help but sigh. "After all, he's just a young man. I'm a bit unconvinced."

Yun Kai laughed, "The other people you admire may not even be older than him."

"Who says it isn't?" Tang Xiao Yu muttered. The dead are still young, but I am already old. "

Yun Kai shrugged, "Indeed."

The two of them were speechless and they were silent for a long time.

Tang Xiao bent over, resting his forehead on his hands. His face was hidden. His back was twisted, but he was somehow exhausted. He was not old, but he was tired. No matter how domineering he used to be, he had now lost the indomitable spirit of his youth.

Yun Kai silently sighed as he looked at his blurry face reflected in the cup of tea.

How could he not?

He was tired of watching the reflection in the tea bowl, it had been broken by Yun Kai's palm, so he opened his mouth, "Do you still remember the prophecy of the marquis from twenty-seven years ago?"

Hearing Yun Kai's voice, Tang Xiao foolishly raised his head. His expression was somewhat absent-minded, but he quickly composed himself and replied, "Of course I remember." Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Yun Kai's snow-white sleeves had been drenched by the tea, but he did not say anything more.

Yun Kai nodded as he spoke of another matter, "Just a few days before I asked you to go find Young Master Qing Yi, Second Senior Apprentice Brother came to find me."

Tang Xiao was surprised. "Lu Chu Han?" Did he come in person? "

Yun Kai sighed, "Yes, he personally came and stood in front of me without making a sound. You know, all these years I've never been in contact with him, not even knowing if he's dead or alive. "

"He'll come find you," Tang Xiao Yu said slowly. "It was unexpected."

Yun Kai asked, "The destruction of the Mansion of the Marquis of the Trojan Horse was caused by Second Senior Brother, did you know about this?"

Tang Xiao's eyes narrowed. "He did it?"

Yun Kai replied, "He did not do it, there was someone else who did it. That person probably was just a warning to the duke of Trojan Horse and did not intend to kill everyone. I wonder where second senior brother got this information from, which is why he seized this opportunity to slaughter the duke of Trojan Horse's manor. "

Tang Xiao Yu calculated the time, then looked at Lan Jue suspiciously. "That wasn't what you wanted to tell me, was it?"

Yun Kai pondered for a moment, "Yes, but not entirely because of this. In the end, it was all because of the prophecy from twenty-seven years ago. "

Tang Xiao was momentarily at a loss as to what to say. "Prophecy?"

"The Dragon's Roar has appeared in this world, and even the Emperor's bones have shattered.

The world was lost, the mountains and rivers were quiet.

Brothers, we're in the same boat.

"The family is ruined, and the people perish. Blood flows like rivers."

This sudden voice was extremely clear and intangible, as if it was a chant of undead spirits that did not exist in this world.

The originally closed doors and windows opened without the wind, and a figure could be seen standing outside the door.

Tang Xiao and Yun Kai's faces fell when they heard the voice. They turned to look at the source of the voice, their pupils narrowing.

— —

"Brothers, we are in the same boat. "The family is ruined, and the people perish. Blood flows like rivers." Bai Yan Tang looked at the silk in his hand, and his eyebrows tightened into a frown, his face filled with worry.

Wen Wan poured a cup of tea and picked it up. He walked over to the side of Bai Yan Tang and put down the cup of tea. With a smile, he asked, "Is Uncle still worried about this matter?"

Bai Yutang drank a mouthful of tea and pinched the center of his brows, "These thirty-two characters left by the marquis are becoming increasingly difficult to decipher."

Wen Wan knew that the "Marquis" he spoke of was the previous generation's Trojan horse, Hou Muyi, so he couldn't help but fall silent. Afterwards, he said, "It's not that it's difficult to understand, it's just that it involves a lot of people."

Bai Yutang spread out the cloth on the table, pointing at the front row and asking, "What do you think of these two lines?"

Wen Wan didn't need to look to know which two sentences he had asked: "In the martial arts world, the sword is ranked fourth on the sword ranking. This sword is called 'Dragon Roar', and it is also called 'Emperor Bone'. There had been rumors in the martial arts world long ago that those who had obtained this sword had been searching for it many times, but none of them had ever been able to find it. However, twenty-seven years ago, the Mansion of the Trojan Horse, which was famous for its divination techniques, said a six-word prophecy, 'The Dragon's Roar appears in this world, and the Emperor's bones are shattered into pieces. "The world is desolate, the mountains and rivers are desolate."

"This is the result of the horse's divination, and the correct method of reading should be 'Dragon's Roar' appearing in this world, causing the martial arts world to lose their mind. 'The Emperor Bone is shattered, and the mountains and rivers are deserted. After the appearance of these sixteen words of prophecy, the marquis of the Trojan Horse didn't hesitate to lower the number of years of his lifespan to further deduce his future. The outcome of this divination indicated that there would soon be three calamities that would last for twelve years. From the appearance of the Dragon's Roar to the destruction of the Emperor Bone. "

"To make the Dragon Roar appear once more. One person had caused the Emperor Bone to shatter. These two must have been ordained by the heavens, and must be related to the heavens. In these three trials, each one had to do with the fact that the previous generation had run out of energy, and the next generation couldn't safely ascend to the throne. So, there is also the "brothers wall, the same room," the eight-word prophecy, this is internal trouble. And the final words, 'the family is ruined, and the people perish. Blood flows like rivers', meant external troubles. These words had been confirmed one by one. "The tribulation of the martial arts world has passed twice."

Only after he finished explaining the words on the cloth did he slowly say, "Calculating the time, it's almost time."

Wen Wan's finger pressed on the "Dragon's Roar" without moving. He wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What?" What do you have to say for yourself? "

Wen Wan said, "Heaven has decreed, heaven and earth are connected. Since the identity of the fourth martial uncle had been revealed, it meant that the person who had ended this calamity should also have the blood of the Son of Heaven. Who does Uncle think this person should be? "

"Who else could it be?"

Wen Wan looked at the four words "Brothers' Wall" and suddenly let out a wry smile. "I suddenly hope that the Marquis' prophecy is a little skewed and not perfect. "Otherwise, it would be more than just a calamity for the martial arts world."

"I'm afraid that it has already begun," said Bai Yutang.

Wen Wan said, "The massacre at the Mansion of the Marquis of the Trojan Horse has obviously already begun."

Upon seeing that he would misunderstand his intentions, Bai Yutang did not explain further. "The Qi King is leaving in a few days' time, and I still don't know where Jiang Wuyan is going. As soon as possible, you can discuss drinking with him. In addition, try to see if he knows anything related to the Yu Yin Pavilion and the Poison Wine Hall. "

"Yu Yin Pavilion?" Wen Wan's eyes moved, "Uncle suspects that the Sound Pavilion is still here?"

"I don't doubt it. I think it's a force that trades in information to earn a living. The martial arts world is full of spies, so they should be aware of any movements. How could they be destroyed so easily?"

Wen Wan nodded. "Uncle's words are also a matter of confusion for nephew. However, if the Muddy World Demon is still alive, it is impossible for them to not have heard of her. "

"Did anyone find traces of the Crippling Feather Sect?"

Wen Wan was startled, and immediately tried to defend himself: "The Yu Yin Pavilion is different from the Yu Yin Sect, as they are an organization with countless of branches to collect information, no matter what, they won't be completely annihilated. The fact that the Crippling Feather Sect only has a few survivors is only one of the reasons. The most important reason is the cost of living after providing concealment to the majority of its survivors. For such a huge Sound Pavilion, if no one is willing to bear such a huge burden for them, how can they hide it? "

"I also believe that the Sound Pavilion has not been destroyed. I'm only guessing that the Monster of the Anarchic Era and the core members of the Sound Pavilion have all died, leaving behind only those insignificant juniors and subordinates. So there's no news?"

Wen Wan frowned. "The Yu Yin Pavilion's greatest strength lies in their huge intelligence network, not those women's martial arts. Speaking of intelligence, it would involve the previous owners of the Sound Pavilion and those who were on good terms with the demons of the turbid world. But now, I can't even hear a trace of news related to the Yu Yin Pavilion. Isn't that weird? "

"Giving up on those previous customers was naturally a great loss of strength, but the Yu Yin Pavilion's loss is more than enough to bear the loss. Other than this family, no one else had so much information and a network of intelligence covering half of the martial arts world. These were the most important things. As long as these were still there, the foundation would still be there. How hard would it be to make a comeback? In order to protect their lives, appropriate abandonment is also an inevitable action. "

Wen Wan nodded. "I also understand what uncle is saying. It is just as uncle has said, the Yu Yin Pavilion's information is unique to the martial arts world, where did Feng Yunxuan come from? "

He knew that he did not need to answer, so he naturally did not say anything.

Wen Wan said, "When the Yu Yin Pavilion was still here, no one would be stupid enough to fight over the business with them. Even if they wanted to do this business, it would certainly not be large. "I think, from the time the Yuyin Pavilion disappeared, to the moment Feng Yunxuan became famous, no one else has been able to do it right?"

"It's very difficult."

Wen Wan asked, "There's no news of a force that can't be killed, and a force that can't possibly appear. It's even more powerful than it used to be, so who would believe that they're not from the same faction?"

"It's a pity they're not."

Wen Wan continued: "Because of a force that would rather break its own arm than show itself, there is no way it could be so ostentatious. "Unless …"
