Chapter 585: Great Men Across Dynasties



Arriving at the guest room of Fan Mansion, Yamu dismissed the maid, closed the door, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He came to the Fan Mansion to meet Fan Xian directly, but he didn't expect that Fan Xian had already left Danzhou. Going to see Old Lady Fan, in addition to wanting to confirm Fan Xian's identity, was more of a spur of the moment decision and he didn't think too much about it.

Who knew that Old Mrs. Fan could be so difficult to deal with.

Sure enough, human essence is the same in ancient and modern times.

Yamu was not good at socializing, so it was natural that he found it a bit difficult to deal with the situation.

Fortunately, he had not watched "Joy of Life" and really didn't know who Wuzhu was, nor what the temple was, so he didn't reveal any flaws in front of the shrewd old lady.

As for why Yamu had to patiently deal with these weak natives even though he had super-powerful military force that could conquer the world, we have to mention the "Time and Space Traveler Code of Conduct" newly issued by the Alliance.

One of the rules clearly states that before the newcomer review expires, the Time Traveler must not directly or indirectly influence the newcomer's attitude, forcing him to stand on the opposite side of the alliance camp.

Simply put, it means that the newcomers cannot be forced to form an alliance either openly or covertly.

Although there is still room for interpretation of this clause, Yamu understands its meaning.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to do anything excessive towards the relatives and friends that Fan Xian cared about.

The best strategy is to temporarily disguise your identity and blend into this world.

However, since the incident happened suddenly, Yamu was not very good at responding to situations on his own, and the identity he fabricated was somewhat weak, and it was easily exposed in front of a shrewd person like the old lady of the Fan family...

Thinking of this, Yamu couldn't help but take out the Void Jade Card.

“Should we ask Danas and other seniors?”

"...No, Danas will laugh at me."

"I'd better get a copy of the novel and TV series "Joy of Life" to see the plot of this world!"

Yamu made a decision and immediately began to fiddle with the Void Jade Plate.

On the other side, the old lady sat high up in the hall, her already wrinkled brows tightly furrowed.

Before officially meeting Yamu, she had sent people to investigate all the information about Yamu since he entered the city.

But even if she mobilized all the manpower of the Fan Mansion in Danzhou, the information she could obtain was only a few sentences, which was not much different from what the teacher had said.

This situation of having no roots or sources, as if it popped out from between the rocks, made the old lady keenly think of Wuzhu, as well as the extremely mysterious temple and the Tianmai.

Naturally, the old lady began to suspect that Yamu was a member of the temple.

Why did the people from the temple come to Danzhou?

The old lady keenly thought of her grandson Fan Xian.

In her past life, the only people she had met who were qualified to have unclear relationships with the temple were Fan Xian's mother Ye Qingmei and Wu Zhu, the blind servant who followed Ye Qingmei.

Therefore, for the sake of Fan Xian's safety, the old lady was ready to sacrifice her life and met with Yamu.

It was for this reason that, after sending everyone away, she bluntly asked the question she wanted to know most.

If she died as a result, a messenger would be arranged to deliver the news to the capital at full speed.

But what she didn't expect was that this mysterious master without any roots or origins actually didn't know Wu Zhu, and didn't even know the existence of the temple.

The other party came to the Fan Mansion just to meet Fan Xian...

This was somewhat beyond Mrs. Fan's expectations.

After thinking for a long time, the old lady called Li Huyuan and asked in a low voice: "I don't understand martial arts. Tell me, how many people are needed to surround and kill a martial arts master like Mr. Mu?"

“…”

Guard Li was stunned when he heard this, and recalled how Yamu had attacked before. He smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, although I am not very knowledgeable, I have seen the demeanor of ninth-rank masters in the army. A master like Mr. Mu may not be able to be defeated by human wave tactics."

"Even if the other party is indeed likely to be exhausted, we can still leave calmly before that."

"As long as there are no masters of the same level who risk their lives to delay us, we can come and go freely even in the midst of thousands of troops!"

The old lady frowned and asked, "Is that true?"

Guardian Li smiled bitterly and said, "It is true!"

The old lady sighed and said, "That's not something I can handle. Let's leave it to Xian'er and his father."

As she spoke, the old lady raised her head and said loudly, "Someone come!"

"exist!"

"Eight hundred miles, send a letter to the young master and the old master!"

"yes!"

A voice whose source could not be identified floated into the hall like a ghost.

Guardian Li stood there respectfully, turning a deaf ear and pretending not to hear.

At noon, the maid from the Fan Mansion brought the food and the manuscripts of the stories.

Yamu thanked politely, then asked the maid to leave the guest room. Without even looking at the sumptuous meal and the story manuscript, he turned around, took out a piece of dragon leg meat from his storage ring, and began to chew it while following the drama.

The novel was too long, so he only read the beginning and barely understood the world view, and then started watching the TV series.

I have to say that this TV series can really be regarded as a model of online literature adaptation.

At least Yamu, who is used to watching good dramas, was able to enjoy watching this drama.

But if this world is really a TV drama world, then Fan Xian is just a successful case of the memory transfer experiment. He is not even the so-called indigenous time traveler mentioned by the Alliance.

In this way, there is no need for Yamu to contact him.

But if this world is a novel world, then Fan Xian is a typical indigenous time traveler.

According to the case in the neighboring world of "The Son-in-Law", indigenous time travelers are also qualified to join the alliance.

Of course, no matter what the situation is, Yamu still has to go to Kyoto to meet Fan Xian.

He originally planned to stay in the Fan Mansion for a few days, and then set off for Kyoto after finishing reading the novel and watching the TV series.

But...

"boom!"

Just after noon, a loud noise suddenly came from the guest room where Yamu was staying.

The maids and servants who were waiting not far from the guest room were all shocked and quickly reported the news to Old Madam Fan.

Not long after, Mrs. Fan, supported by Guard Li, came out of the guest room on crutches.

Before she could signal Guard Li to come forward and knock on the door, the door of the guest room opened automatically.

Yamu strode out and bowed apologetically to the old lady's slightly surprised look.

"Grandma... Madam, I'm so sorry. I was practicing Qi in the room just now and accidentally touched the wrong meridian, causing the Qi to riot and accidentally damaging several pieces of furniture in your house..."

Hearing Yamu's words, the old lady's eyes moved slightly, and she looked past Yamu and into the room.

I saw that the precious wooden table in the room had completely disappeared, replaced by a pile of ash-like powder.

...Is this the true qi of a ninth-grade master?

The old lady who knew nothing about martial arts had a look of surprise in her eyes.

But Yamu obviously misunderstood what the old lady meant.

With an embarrassed look on his face, he took out a gold ingot from his pocket.

"Don't worry, old lady. I will fully compensate your family for all the losses!"

“…”

Old Madam Fan glanced at the gold ingot in Yamu's hand and found that there were no patterns or marks on it. She smiled and refused, "Mr. Mu, you are so polite. It's just a table and a few chairs. It's okay, it's okay!"

Yamu shook his head, but still insisted on stuffing the gold ingot into the hands of Li Huyuan next to him.

"Mu has always been daring and responsible. He will avenge his enemies and repay his kindness!"

"The tables and chairs in this room were indeed damaged by me, I must make compensation!"

These two sentences were said by Yamu with great sincerity and couldn't be more true.

There is indeed a world of difference between having read the original work and not having read it.

At least now, he has developed a favorable impression as a reader and audience towards the old lady who loves her grandson very much.

But Mrs. Fan doesn't know anything about novels and TV dramas.

In her opinion, Yamu's words "enemies must be avenged, favors must be repaid" are more like warnings and admonitions from a martial arts master.

Hearing Yamu's words, the old lady's heart suddenly trembled, and she hesitated and said: "This..."

Yamu persuaded again: "Old Madam, please accept it. If you don't accept it, it will cause my state of mind to be incomplete and my thoughts to be unable to flow, which is a taboo in martial arts!"

……Really?

Old Mrs. Fan almost asked this question.

However, she still looked at Guardian Li hesitantly. When she saw Guardian Li nodded, she sighed softly.

"Okay, take it then!"

"yes!"

Li Huyuan immediately accepted the gold ingot.

Yamu smiled and turned to bow to Old Lady Fan.

"Madam, I have received the manuscript. Please help me write a visiting card so that I can set off immediately to visit the talented Master Fan in Kyoto..."

"Depart immediately?!"

The old lady looked at Yamu in surprise and couldn't help asking, "Can't you stay a few more days?"

Yamu shook his head and said, "I can no longer suppress my desire to see Master Fan. Madam, please help me. I will be extremely grateful!"

……broken!

The messenger had just set out less than two hours ago. With the speed of a ninth-grade master, he would probably reach Kyoto earlier than the letter.

In this way, Yamu will visit the Kyoto Fan Mansion without any precautions...

This won’t do!

The old lady frowned and thought quickly about countermeasures in her mind.

At the same time, Yamu saw the old lady's silence and finally came back to his senses from the warm and harmonious family atmosphere of the TV series.

...Is this old lady still worried that I will murder Fan Xian?

Yamu looked at the old lady in surprise. After thinking for a while, he whispered, "After returning to my room, I thought carefully about the questions that the old lady raised in the hall and found that there seemed to be some mistakes in the answers at that time."

"…What's wrong?"

"Does the Mr. Wuzhu you mentioned always have his eyes covered with a black cloth?"

The old lady was startled, but she said calmly, "So, sir, you know him?"

Yamu nodded, then shook his head: "I do know a master covered in black cloth, but I don't know his name. I only know that he once fought with my master."

"Mr.'s master?"

The old lady seemed to be interested and asked: "What was the result?"
