"Yes," Wan Xin admitted, "Everything here was left to you by Princess Qiuya. After Princess Qiuya passed away, I was worried that the people in the General's Mansion would find out about what was going on here, so I spread the rumor that it was haunted. Master Mayfly also helped with this."
Changan was curious, "What is the relationship between my mother and this Master Mayfly? How did they know each other?"
Wan Xin walked in front, "Miss, please follow me."
Gu Changan followed closely, feeling the wind blowing towards him. "Why is it so cold?"
"There's a cold jade bed in here," Wanxin said, "so that people will believe that there are ghosts here. After Princess Qiuya left, I arranged for someone to secretly bring it in. This cold jade bed was found under the snow on Xiling Mountain that never melts all year round.
Anyone who gets close will feel the extreme cold, and coupled with the rumor that it's haunted, many people believe it."
"So this is possible." Gu Changan muttered softly.
Wan Xin had already brought Chang An to the center of the underground room. "Your mother is not only a princess of the Southern Kingdom, but also the leader of the Fu Sheng Sect."
"Fushengmen..." Gu Changan suddenly thought of the Fushengmen that he accidentally heard Bei Mingye mention in his previous life. It seemed like an assassination organization in the martial arts world.
"The Fusheng Sect," Wanxin explained, "is an assassination organization in the Jianghu that takes money from people and helps them avoid disasters.
In fact, it is an organization placed in the world by the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom, which is dedicated to investigating the secrets of other countries and executing royal orders.
Your mother is the leader of the Fusheng Sect. Since Princess Qiuya passed away, the Fusheng Sect has been in your care."
Having said that, Wanxin looked at Gu Changan's eyes with doubt in her eyes.
"Go on!" There was no extra expression on Gu Changan's face, so calm that it seemed as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"It's just... it's just that you, young lady, are naturally weak, so the position of Sect Leader has remained vacant until now." Wan Xin sighed, "And it's been taken over by the Southern Kingdom's Prince. Your grandfather, the Southern Kingdom's Emperor, hopes that you can take over the position of Sect Leader of Fusheng Sect as soon as possible.
However, I know very well that the princess does not want you to be involved in the bloody martial arts world and the turmoil in the court.
Just like your name, 'Chang'an' is as good as its meaning."
"Aunt Wanxin brought me here," Gu Changan said affirmatively, "to have me take over the position of the leader of Fusheng Sect."
"Everything I have done at this moment is just to tell you, young lady." Wan Xin looked into Gu Changan's eyes, "You still have a choice now."
"Is there another choice?" Gu Changan's lips curled up into a smile. "Aunt Wanxin, in this world, the strong are always respected. If you want to live a peaceful life, you can't have a peaceful life without ability. Not to mention living, even staying alive is extremely difficult."
From the look in Wanxin's eyes, she knew that she was determined to take over Fushengmen.
“If you want to take over Fushengmen, you must return to the main gate of Fushengmen, and this place is just for the convenience of passing on messages.
Furthermore, taking over the Fusheng Sect is no easy task. After all, the position of Sect Leader has been vacant for many years, and there are still many people who want to take the position. Moreover, you need to meet your grandfather, the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom.
Gu Changan had his own plans. "Don't worry. I also need time to improve myself."
"You've really grown up." Wan Xin's eyes were slightly moist.
Gu Changan ignored the emotion in Wanxin's eyes and said, "Since Fushengmen is dedicated to assassination and gathering information from other countries, I want information about all the princes and ministers of Shuzhou."
"Okay." Wanxin agreed.
"Master of Fusheng Sect?" Gu Changan was a little doubtful. "Did my mother really just die of childbirth?"
"With Princess Ya's strength, she rarely encountered an opponent." Wan Xin said, "Back then, people from Fusheng Sect investigated and found that Princess Ya did die of childbirth complications.
However, we found out that your father ended up in this situation as a result of assassination.
That person is your uncle Gu Qingyun. He secretly colluded with the enemy and cooperated with the enemy from inside and outside, which led to Jun Hai fighting against an army of 400,000. In the end, only 10 people were left dead.
The enemy had only 100,000 troops. That battle left your father devastated and he also lost the emperor's trust.
If it weren't for your grandfather, he would have died long ago.
Your father was imprisoned by the Emperor for three years. He lost all his internal energy and martial arts skills. He also missed the best time to heal his legs, and he will never be able to stand up again."
"Three years is enough time for uncle to make plans." Gu Changan's face was extremely indifferent. "It doesn't matter. Since my uncle likes these things, let him pay the price for them. Military power? Since ancient times, no mercenary has ever had a good ending."
"Yes, three years." Wan Xin said, "After the master was released, he lost his former charm and his spirit withered. What hurt him most was that he didn't get to see your mother.
Your uncle has already taken over the position previously held by the master, and has conquered more territory for the emperor, becoming the most valiant general in the eyes of the emperor and everyone else."
"Does my father know about this?" Gu Changan asked. "Also, does he know that my mother is the leader of the Fusheng Sect?"
"The master knew that the princess had excellent martial arts skills, but he didn't know that she was the leader of the Fusheng Sect.
As for the events of the Junhai Battle, the Fushengmen people didn't reveal anything. "Wan Xin thought for a moment, but I don't know if the master has investigated it himself."
Gu Changan sighed in his heart, wondering how many opportunities he had missed in his past life. When Aunt Wanxin died, and because of his cowardly character, no one must have taken him seriously when it came to Fushengmen. "Let's go, it's really cold here."
After returning to Chang'an, I slept very soundly.
The next day, Chang'an woke up early. She looked at herself in the bronze mirror. It was a face without scars. To her, this face was both strange and familiar, and the most real.
Wan Xin pushed the door open and walked in. "Miss, the Fourth Prince Bei Mingye is already on his way. It looks like he's coming to visit us."
Chang'an raised his eyebrows slightly, and a very sarcastic smile appeared on his lips. "Aunt, are all the people from our Fusheng Sect in the imperial capital still useful now?"
"The five altar masters." Wan Xin was very sure. "Although your mother passed away many years ago, these five people were indebted to her. If you give them an order, they will die for you. But the ones who stayed in Shuzhou are Jin Siyao, Huo Yan, and Luo Chen."
Changan frowned slightly, "That's not their real name."
"The sect is divided into five altars, namely gold, wood, water, fire and earth," Wan Xin explained. "Jin Si Que, Huo Yan, and Luo Chen are the masters of three of the altars. The masters of the other two are not in Shuzhou."
