……run?
I flew it!
Yamu answered silently in his heart.
But he definitely couldn't tell Fan Xian such an answer, so he pondered for a moment and then nodded.
Fan Xian exclaimed: "What great leg strength!"
As he spoke, Fan Xian couldn't help but stand up as if he had seen some rare species, and paced around Yamu, occasionally stretching out his hand as if he wanted to pinch Yamu's muscles.
But every time he stretched out his hand, Yamu would look at him.
That calm look frightened Fan Xian, and he could only withdraw his hand awkwardly.
Looking at Fan Xian who was still circling around him, Yamu couldn't help but sigh: "If you have anything to ask, just ask it now. Don't keep circling around me here. It's annoying to watch..."
"Then I'll ask!"
Fan Xian stopped and stood in front of the unconscious Wu Zhu seemingly unintentionally, and asked with great interest: "Brother Mu, what kind of magical skill are you practicing? Why is it so powerful?"
"My uncle Wu Zhu is a person who can fight against a grandmaster. Are you also a grandmaster?"
At this point, Fan Xian suddenly changed the subject and said sternly, "I know it's a bit abrupt to ask this, so please don't say anything yet. Let me tell you about my experience first!"
"After I traveled to this world, I became a baby in a bamboo cage. I was rescued by Uncle Wu Zhu, the man you just defeated, and sent to the Fan Mansion in Danzhou. I lived there peacefully for more than ten years..."
In the name of throwing out a brick to attract jade, Fan Xian began to tell about his past experience of time travel.
Yamu waved his hand, and the energy in his body surged out, closing the door tightly to isolate the inner bay, and then he stood there and listened quietly.
Yamu was naturally very clear about Fan Xian's story.
However, understanding the story from the perspective of a reader or viewer is completely different from listening to Fan Xian’s own narration.
Although Fan Xian tried to describe his past in a humorous and light-hearted manner, Yamu, who was also a time traveler, could clearly feel the loneliness in his words.
After all, time travelers are strangers in a foreign land.
If you were to travel to a modern city, or a dynasty mentioned in history books, or a familiar fantasy work, and see those familiar names and characters in your memory, this feeling of loneliness might be slightly alleviated.
But if you travel to a completely unfamiliar world like Fan Xian, then this feeling of loneliness will only become deeper and longer, like wine, as time passes and you grow older.
Yamu understood Fan Xian's mentality very well, so he listened quietly.
Soon, Fan Xian's story spread from Danzhou to Kyoto, and then from Kyoto to Fan Mansion.
During this period, Fan Xian told almost everything except the chicken leg girl Lin Wan'er.
Yamu was actually a little surprised about this.
What surprised him was not that Fan Xian was still on guard against him and concealed the matter of Lin Wan'er, but that Fan Xian did not lie and told him his past in detail.
"…You must be lonely!"
Yamu suddenly spoke.
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at Yamu deeply.
Yamu said softly, "I understand your mentality, because when I was practicing in the mountains, I often had such fantasies. Maybe one day when I walk out of the valley, I can see cars running on the road and passenger planes flying in the sky..."
“But every time I really walk out of the valley, what I can see is still the scenery of this world.”
Fan Xian smiled and said, "So you came to see me."
Yamu apologized in his heart, then nodded and said, "My first half of life was not as exciting as yours. Since I was born, I have been living in an isolated valley, practicing a very special technique."
"This technique was created by a secret organization called Tianren Pavilion. The ultimate goal of its creation is to explore the secrets of the Grandmaster and cultivate a fifth Grandmaster who is comparable to the Heavenly Man of Martial Arts."
"The body I traveled through is the peerless martial arts genius that this organization has found."
"The rest of the story is a bit cliché. My body is perfectly compatible with the technique, so I successfully cultivated it to perfection. However, during the ten years of cultivation, all the experimental subjects in the same batch as me died due to infatuation..."
Yamu told the story calmly while racking his brains to recall the past.
If there are any members of the Alliance here, they will definitely find this story very familiar.
Because it is the story of Duoduo, the first official employee of the Time Travelers Alliance, before her rebirth.
However, unlike Chen Duo who eventually became a holy child with a Gu body, the story fabricated by Yamu was not wiped out of his humanity and desires due to the soul of the traverser and the state of mind of the Grandmaster, and he became a puppet without desires and knowledge...
"So, this is the story of your past?"
Fan Xian looked at Yamu with complicated eyes.
Deep down he was inclined to believe this story.
Because everyone knows how powerful the Grand Master is.
As one of the four great masters, Si Gu Jian, with just his sword, defended the entire Dongyi City, making the Qing Kingdom, which was known as the most powerful country in the world, dare not act rashly.
This heroic feat of one man conquering an entire city made people all over the world admire the master's power.
Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to understand why there is a group of people who are obsessed with "how to become a grandmaster" to the point of fanaticism or even madness.
Hearing Fan Xian's words, Yamu nodded silently.
Fan Xian suddenly felt uncomfortable, and his attitude towards the strong fellow villager in front of him gradually changed from his previous vigilance and precautions to a trace of pity and sympathy.
He pretended to be relaxed and said, "Tsk tsk, Tianren Pavilion, what a domineering name!"
"It sounds much better than the inner treasury and the procuratorate... By the way, Brother Mu, do you still remember where they are? I am quite interested in the Grandmaster. If we have the chance in the future, let's go back and have some fun with them together!"
Fan Xian's face showed an excited expression.
Yamu was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No need, Tianren Pavilion no longer exists."
Fan Xian's smile froze: "No longer exists? What do you mean?"
"Literally." Yamu said calmly, "After I achieved great success in martial arts, I suddenly killed the members of Tianren Pavilion who were monitoring me, and then I killed all the living creatures in Tianren Valley in an hour."
Kill...kill them all?
Fan Xian blinked his eyes and couldn't help but bowed and said, "Brother Mu is so brave. I admire you!"
After saying that, he lowered his arms and asked curiously, "Tianren Valley is the base of Tianren Pavilion, right... Where is this place?"
Yamu glanced at him and shook his head, "Don't ask, I don't want to talk about this. Besides, I set a fire before I left. After retreating ten miles, I could still see the flames rising into the sky. I think now, that place has become the Valley of the Dead and the Flaming Mountain..."
Fan Xian smiled awkwardly and said, "So that's how it is... Well, let's set it on fire. This is such a filthy and sinful hell. If we set off a handful of pure glazed fire, it can burn everything clean and cleanse the world."
At the end, Fan Xian's tone became more sincere and emotional.
Then, he continued to ask boldly: "Can I see the technique that Brother Mu is practicing?"
Yamu frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "The technique won't work, but I can let you feel it in another way..."
As he spoke, Yamu raised his right arm, rolled up his sleeves, and revealed his muscular arms.
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, then hurried forward and placed his fingers on Yamu's wrist with curiosity.
In an instant, violent energy whizzed through Yamu's skin, almost instantly defeating the true energy that Fan Xian had probed into it.
"hiss--"
Fan Xian was so shocked that he let go of his hands and couldn't help but gasp.
“Brother Mu, how come your Qi is more domineering than mine? I’m practicing the “Domineering Qi”…”
"But then again, your technique is indeed unique. In ordinary techniques, whether good or bad, the true qi flows through the meridians, but your true qi can flow throughout the body instead of just being confined to the meridians."
"No wonder so many people died from going astray, and only you, Brother Mu, succeeded."
Yamu put down his sleeves, glanced at Fan Xian and said, "If you are envious, you can learn from it."
Fan Xian quickly shook his head and said, "That won't do. My teacher is an expert in poison, and poison and medicine are inseparable. I also have some knowledge of medical skills. If you guide the true energy out of the meridians like you do, it will cause great damage to the whole body!"
"I really can't understand how you were able to master this evil skill."
Fan Xian muttered to himself while looking at Yamu as if he were a monster.
Yamu thought back to his time training on Planet Vegeta and nodded, "When I first started, I did have some pain in my muscles and bones, but it was no big deal for me and I could still hold on."
Fan Xian couldn't help but complain, "You can hold on even when your meridians are broken. Is your sense of pain blocked?"
After complaining, Fan Xian looked at Yamu with sparkling eyes and couldn't help but say, "Brother Mu, we are now equal in status. What are your plans for the future?"
"No." Yamu shook his head. "Meeting you was just a spur of the moment thing. I haven't thought about what will happen next."
Fan Xian's eyes lit up: "Really, you haven't thought about it?"
Yamu glanced at him and said, "Do you think I look like a person with a plan?"
Fan Xian thought about the ink on the visiting card, and subconsciously agreed, "Indeed."
After saying this, Fan Xian reacted and quickly explained, "Brother Mu, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean to say that you are reckless. I just think that you are very straightforward and direct, and I like you very much!"
Yamu was noncommittal: "And then?"
"Then..." Fan Xian considered his words and said with a smile on his face, "Look, I am the young master of the Fan family. My father is Fan Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. In the future, I will marry a princess of the royal family and control the financial power of the inner treasury."
"With this status, I can barely say I am powerful."
"Brother Mu, if you really don't have any plans, why don't you stay with me first? We are from the same hometown, so we can discuss things together. If you have any dreams to pursue in the future, I can also help you. What do you think?"
