"Tang Wan?"
He Xuan was stunned. "But she is the daughter of Tang Mingde, the supervisor of Xuanqing Palace?"
"Um!"
Wan Zhuliu came with his hands behind his back and walked in front of the two of them.
"You are both from Xuanqing Palace..." He stopped talking mid-sentence and changed his words, "You both came from Xuanqing Palace. When you encountered such a great change, you should stick together. Don't you have any correspondence with her?"
He originally wanted to use the word "remnants" to describe it, but then he thought that it was indeed a bit inappropriate.
He Xuan's attention was clearly not on this. From time to time, his eyes would secretly glance at Yao Yun, and his reaction was extremely intense. "Master Wan, Master, I have never associated with them. I came to the martial arts hall with no purpose. I swear!"
Wan Zhuliu, who had already noticed this scene, glanced at He Xuan indifferently.
"I'm afraid not!"
As soon as he said this, He Xuan suddenly became anxious.
"No, Master Wan, you've wronged me. When the palace was in turmoil, I was only concerned with escaping. I used this talisman in my hand..."
In a hurry, he spoke without thinking, but the next moment he realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing.
However, Wan Zhuliu didn't seem to notice and instead interrupted the topic directly, "You're overthinking it. That's not what I meant. Okay, let's go and take care of the injury first!
I'll wait a minute, I have something to ask you about the Zheng family."
"Thank you, sir, master. I'll go down first!" Since He Xuan said the wrong thing, his words began to become cautious.
After he left, Wan Zhuliu looked at Yao Yun.
"Sister-in-law, this person...what do you think?"
Yao Yun was slightly stunned, thinking that Wan Zhuliu was blaming her.
Suddenly, he said with some guilt: "Zhuliu, I don't know people well, but He Xuan should be a good person. He must have some unspeakable secrets to hide his identity!"
Wan Zhuliu was silent for a moment.
Yao Yun misunderstood what he meant.
In fact, he also noticed that He Xuan seemed to have some interest in Yao Yun.
Although He Xuan is not young anymore, as a warrior, he still looks quite young.
And Yao Yun, although she is the widow of her eldest brother.
But she is just a single woman in her prime. If she intends to remarry and find a good man, Wan Zhuliu naturally has no right to stop her.
However, Yao Yun didn't seem to realize what He Xuan was thinking.
Thinking of this, he didn't want to elaborate, but just smiled faintly, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will deal with the Zheng family soon. They won't bother you again in the future. You can just focus on running the escort agency and martial arts school."
After hearing these words, Yao Yun felt a little relieved.
Ever since Zheng Yuan and Wan Zhuliu became sworn brothers, whenever they encountered a problem that was difficult to resolve, Wan Zhuliu would step in and the problem would be easily solved.
Therefore, with Wan Zhuliu as the backbone, she was still very relieved.
"Okay, Zhuliu, I haven't slept all night and I'm a little tired. I'll go back to the escort agency first."
"Um!"
Wan Zhuliu replied calmly, "Sister-in-law, take care!"
Yao Yun walked out of the martial arts hall. After a moment, she turned back and said, "Zhuliu, I think you've lost some weight. I'm afraid your old clothes won't fit you anymore. I'll come over later to measure you and make you a few new ones!"
Wan Zhuliu didn't care. He was indeed thinner, but of course he couldn't be called thin. After all, his weight might have increased. It was just that his muscle density was higher, making him look smaller.
He waved his hand and said, "I dare not trouble you, sister-in-law. By the way, sister-in-law, where is the flying eagle that accompanied you to the escort agency last time?"
Before he entered the secret room, he specifically told Feiying not to let anyone come in and disturb him, but he actually let the Zheng family break in.
If he had not already completed the fusion of his skills, if he had done so at his weakest, it would probably have affected the progress of Ji Sha Gang Mo's deduction.
"He was beaten by the Zheng family and sent to the clinic. I'm afraid..." Yao Yun's face darkened.
Wan Zhuliu stood with his hands behind his back, "It's okay, sister-in-law, have someone take me there later!"
Feiying was his carefully trained subordinate. It would be such a pity if he died!
Although his realm is not high, with the help of a large amount of green-eyed toad meat and Feiying's young age, he will at least be able to achieve the state of concentration in the future.
Thinking of this, he returned to the martial arts hall lobby.
Hong Fang and others had already sorted out the broken things outside, but the secret room had collapsed and could not be saved.
He Xuan's face was a little pale as he sat there while the doctor gave him acupuncture and regulated his qi and blood.
Seeing Wan Zhuliu striding towards him, he hurriedly stood up.
"Lord Wan!"
"Yes!" Wan Zhuliu pressed his hand, sat down in the main seat, and glanced at the bystanders, "Everyone else, get out first!"
His power grew day by day.
With just a few casual words, everyone left in an orderly manner.
Seeing this, He Xuan became a little nervous and clenched his hands uneasily.
There was silence for a moment.
"He Xuan, tell me, what is the real reason why Xuanqing Palace was destroyed?"
After saying this, he untied his robe and casually draped it over the back of the armchair. "I want to hear the truth!"
"Some time ago, Tang Wan came to me and asked me to help her rescue Tang Mingde, so you don't have to hide it. I have already had people investigate. The reason for destroying Xuanqing Palace is not as simple as colluding with the rebels!"
He Xuan was a little surprised and didn't say anything for a long time.
I don't know whether he was shocked that Tang Wan had found him, or surprised that he could know the secret.
"Your Excellency Wan, the reason for the downfall of Xuanqing Palace was not collusion with the rebels. The so-called collusion with the rebels was just a random charge!"
A trace of sadness flashed in He Xuan's eyes. "My Xuanqing Palace has always been a peaceful place, accepting disciples, teaching literature and Taoism, and following the rules of etiquette. It's a pity..."
“It’s a pity that Xuanqing Palace has nine great talisman techniques that have been passed down for hundreds of years, divided into three mountains, and people are worried about them!
The old man of the Zheng family was the Palace Master of my Xuanqing Palace fifty years ago. He inherited the three major talismans from the Kaishan Sutra. And the current Zhoudu was also a supervisor of the Xuanqing Palace. He inherited the three major talismans from the Lingbao Sutra. These two people know the secrets of my Xuanqing Palace and want to collect the three mountains and nine major talismans.
But the current palace master did not agree to the request of these two people. There was an ancestral rule in the palace that talismans should not be passed on lightly, and the nine major talismans should not be passed on at the same time, which led to the disaster today.
That fellow Zheng and the governor of the state seized the gate of Xuanqing Palace, intending to seek out another lineage. They haven't been able to obtain the three great talisman techniques in the Taiping Scroll. I am one of them, and I possess... the Zhengfa Talisman!"
"Speaking of which, is this an internal fight among you?"
Wan Zhuliu was a little surprised.
He thought about it over and over again, but he never expected that a Taoist palace like Xuanqing Palace with a century-old heritage would be destroyed because of a few unfilial disciples.
"Nine Great Talismans! No wonder Tang Wan had that expression when she learned I wanted the Nine Great Talismans!"
"It's not really an internal conflict. Xuanqing Palace has always been known for its extensive teachings. Over the past century, our Xuanqing disciples have traveled as far as Zhongzhou and Luzhou. I just never imagined that the Zheng family's leader and the governor would violate ancestral teachings and attempt to seize the Nine Great Talismans. Alas, it's truly fate!"
