Fang Yue smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect that he would be in such an embarrassing situation.
However, he quickly cheered up and began to think about countermeasures.
He knew that he had to take action as soon as possible now, otherwise he would be really in trouble once the black robe informed the King of Han about this.
Fang Yue's eyes flashed with firmness and determination. He knew that he had no retreat and must do everything possible to deal with the crisis at hand.
He couldn't let the black robe succeed, let alone let himself fall into a bigger dilemma.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. As his thoughts raced, he already had a preliminary plan.
He needs to stabilize the black robe first and try to delay as much time as possible so that he can find a solution to the problem.
"Haha, you can try this and see who will die without a burial place!" Hei Pao sneered.
Faced with the sneer in the black robe, Fang Yue's heart did not waver at all.
He understood that Hei Pao was testing his bottom line and also showing his tough attitude.
However, Fang Yue knew that he must not retreat at this time, otherwise he would completely lose the initiative.
He raised his head, looked directly into Heipao's eyes, and said firmly: "Really? Heipao, let's try it, who will die!"
Heipao was killed Fang Yue's tough attitude was shocked. He didn't expect that Fang Yue would dare to confront him so blatantly.
Although he was angry in his heart, he also knew that now was not the time to have an attack.
He needed time to think about how to deal with Fang Yue's challenge, and he also needed time to observe the King of Han's reaction to the matter.
So, he glanced at Fang Yue coldly, turned and left, leaving a sentence that echoed in the air: "Okay, you have the guts! I want to see how you are going to explain to the King of Han!"
"This is my business. If you hand over the person now, you don't need to worry about anything else." Fang Yue snorted coldly.
He came here today to take away Lin Wan'er's master and servant.
Because of an accident, this happened.
"Okay, you are brave. Now you dare to ask me for someone. In that case, I'll give it to you!" The black robe clapped his hands, and someone immediately sent Lin Wan'er's master and servant over.
"Now that I've given you a man, just enjoy the rest of your time. I've seen a lot of tough-talking people, but I've seen very few people who want to be romantic even when they're about to die."
After the black robe finished taunting him, he ignored Fang Yue, turned around and left.
Heipao's actions were beyond Fang Yue's expectations. He originally thought that Heipao would continue to use this threat, but he did not expect that Heipao would hand him over so readily.
However, he did not relax his vigilance because of the black robe's actions, but became more cautious.
He looked at the master and servant Lin Waner who were sent here, with a trace of worry in his eyes.
He knew that Hei Pao would not do such a thing for no reason, and there might be some fraud involved.
Fang Yue quickly thought about the possible intentions behind Black Robe's move. He knew that Black Robe was an extremely cunning enemy and would never do anything that was not beneficial to him.
"The black robe handed over Lin Wan'er's master and servant so readily. Could it be that there is some bigger conspiracy waiting for me?" Fang Yue secretly speculated in his heart.
He decided to settle Lin Wan'er's master and servant first and ensure their safety, and then slowly think about the true intention of the black robe.
However, at this moment, a girl in black walked out of the room behind her.
The girl's face was pale, but she could not conceal her elegance. Her black clothes clung tightly to her exquisite body, outlining her perfect curves.
There was a hint of coldness in her eyes, as if she was indifferent to everything around her.
"Just pretend that what happened last night never happened, and don't tell anyone!" The girl's voice was cold, and there was no emotion in her eyes when she looked at Fang Yue, as if she was watching Like a stone.
There was nothing as charming and passionate as last night.
The two had skin-to-skin contact last night, but now they were so cold, which made Fang Yue more surprised.
Fang Yue looked at the girl in black and said calmly: "I will naturally pretend that what happened last night never happened."
After all, it was not voluntary. Even though the girl in black has an extraordinary appearance, Fang Yue also There will be no more inappropriate thoughts.
Since this woman is the daughter of the clan of the Wei Dynasty, Fang Yue’s current cultivation and status are really not worthy of her.
After hearing Fang Yue's words, a strange light flashed in the girl's eyes, but she soon returned to indifference.
She said calmly: "It's best to do this, otherwise, if what happened last night spreads, I will kill you myself."
Fang Yue smiled slightly and did not care about the threat of the girl in black.
He knows that the most important thing now is to find a solution to the problem as soon as possible, instead of getting entangled with the black robe and the girl in black here.
He turned to Lin Waner's master and servant and said, "Let's leave here first."
Lin Waner's master and servant nodded and followed Fang Yue to leave this dangerous place.
On the way out, Fang Yue kept thinking about Hei Pao's true intention. He knew that Black Robe would not let them go without any reason, there must be some deceit involved.
However, he thought for a long time and could not figure out what the black robe wanted to do.
"It seems that the purpose of the black robe is the jade pendant, but what other methods will he use to get it." Fang Yue sighed secretly in his heart.
He knew that he had to be more careful in order to face the next challenge.
After returning to his residence, Fang Yue arranged for Lin Waner and his servant to stay temporarily, and told them not to go out at will.
Then he began to investigate the true intentions of the black robe. He believed that as long as he found the weakness of the black robe, he could defeat him in one fell swoop.
In the next few days, Fang Yue has been secretly investigating the whereabouts and movements of Heipao.
He found that Heipao did not seem to inform the King of Han, but seemed to disappear.
"Has Heipao already given up?"
Fang Yue secretly guessed, but then rejected the idea, "Impossible, Heipao will never give up so easily. He must be brewing a bigger conspiracy."
Only one month has passed, and Fang Yue has not waited for the other party's further move.
"Perhaps, the black robe gave up?"
Although Fang Yue instinctively felt that the black robe was not such a person, the other party had not made any move, and it was impossible for him to remain like this all the time.
Gradually, Fang Yue’s life calmed down again.
However, this calm did not last long.
The second month after returning home, Fang Yue received a summons from Si Tianjian. "Master Hu, why are you so anxious to call me here?" Fang Yue came to Si Tianjian and met Hu Hengwu.
Hui Hengwu's face was a little solemn. He looked at Fang Yue and said in a deep voice: "Fang Yue, I came to you this time because there is something important that you need to do."
Fang Yue frowned slightly, and he could feel the seriousness and urgency in Yu Hengwu's tone.
"Master, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best." Fang Yue said.
Fang Hengwu nodded. He knew that Fang Yue was a reliable person, which was why he chose to find Fang Yue.
"You should know that our Si Tianjian has been monitoring the movements of the world. Recently we discovered an anomaly that requires you to investigate." Yu Hengwu said slowly.
Fang Yue's heart moved. He knew that Si Tianjian's duty was to observe the astronomical phenomena and predict good and bad luck. The abnormal situation they discovered must be extraordinary.
"Please make it clear, sir." Fang Yue said respectfully.
Hui Hengwu took a deep breath, as if what he was going to say next was extremely heavy for him.
His eyes became deep and his voice lowered a bit: "We found that the stars in the north were moving."
Fang Yue's heart suddenly jumped up. Changes in the stars often heralded changes in the world, which could be a good omen or a bad omen.
In the world of cultivators, the movements of stars are often closely linked to cultivation and luck.
"What kind of change is it?" Fang Yue tried his best to keep his voice calm, but his heart was already in turmoil.
"Xuanwu Qisu, one of the seven constellations in the north, has been flickering in and out of light recently. This kind of phenomenon has only been recorded several times in the history of our Si Tianjian, and each time it was accompanied by a major event. "The world incident." Hui Hengwu's tone was full of worry.
"What the boss means is that you want me to go to the north to find out the real reason for the abnormal movement of Xuanwu Qisu?" Fang Yue asked.
"Of course, but this time you are not going alone. Lord Jianzheng wants to form a team, and I recommend you." Fei Hengwu looked at Fang Yue, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
Fang Yue was slightly startled. He didn't expect that this mission would not be done alone, but to form a team.
However, he soon understood what Hui Hengwu meant.
Forming a team can increase the success rate of the operation while also reducing personal risks.
Furthermore, from Yu Hengwu's tone, he could hear the importance of this mission. Master Jianzheng personally ordered it, which was obviously no small matter.
"Fang Yue, don't answer in a hurry." Yu Hengwu immediately continued: "This task is not easy. Go to the north, where barbarians are raging now and are extremely dangerous. It will be better than the rebels in Guangfeng Mansion and Shanyang Mansion fighting. It’s even more dangerous.”
“But the corresponding reward will be very generous, which is enough to be promoted to two levels if converted into contribution.”
In Si Tianjian, promotion is very difficult. .
Being able to be promoted to two levels in one mission represents an expansion of rights, as well as an increase in resources and benefits.
But being able to give such a generous reward also shows that this mission must be very dangerous.
Fang Yue thought about it and did not agree.
He hopes to live a stable life, not endless adventures.
The purpose of improving strength is just to enable his family and himself to survive in this world better.
Now, it is obvious that this mission is very dangerous.
Of course Fang Yue does not intend to accept it. He has now found a place where alien energy may appear from Si Tianjian's intelligence network.
I am planning to find time to search over there to enhance my strength.
Fang Yue has a golden finger, so he doesn’t need to improve like ordinary people. He doesn’t need too many resources.
Fang Yue looked at Yu Hengwu and said firmly but politely: "Master, I am very grateful for your trust and recommendation, but I may not be able to accept this mission."
A trace of surprise flashed in Yu Hengwu's eyes, obviously he did not expect Fang Yue to refuse this mission.
He frowned slightly, but immediately relaxed, and said with a smile: "Very good, this task is still somewhat risky for you, it is wise for you to refuse."
Hui Hengwu looked at Fang Yue, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes.
He was not angry because of Fang Yue's rejection, but valued Fang Yue even more.
He knew that Fang Yue was a self-aware person and would not blindly take risks. Such a character is very rare in the world of cultivators.
"Fang Yue, your decision is very wise."
Hui Hengwu said slowly, "This mission is indeed very dangerous. Even our elite team of Si Tianjian is not fully qualified. I'm sure it can be done. I don't want you to lose your life because of this mission."
"Master, thank you for your understanding." Fang Yue said respectfully, "I will continue to practice hard and strive to make great contributions to Si Tianjian as soon as possible."
Fan Hengwu nodded, with satisfaction on his face smile. He knew that Fang Yue was a young man with potential. As long as he was given enough time and opportunities, he would definitely become a pillar of Si Tianjian.
"Fang Yue, go back and practice hard. Remember, don't rush for success, work steadily. The most taboo thing during practice is to be impatient." Hui Hengwu warned.
Fang Yue responded respectfully, then turned and left Si Tianjian.
He knew that Hui Hengwu’s words were for his own good, and he would keep them in mind.
After returning to his residence, Fang Yue began to prepare to go to the place where the alien energy might exist, the Yuanzhou capital in the northeast.
After Fang Yue returned to his residence, he began to carefully study the intelligence provided by Si Tianjian, as well as the information he had collected previously about Yuanzhou Prefecture.
He knew that although it might be dangerous to go to Yuanzhou capital to search for alien energy, it was also an excellent opportunity to improve his strength.

Si Tianjian, Kao Gong Hall.
"He didn't agree with this. I didn't mean to do this. I didn't say anything unnecessary." Hengwu looked at the visitor and said with a smile.
The person coming was none other than Chen Qiyu, one of the seven deputy supervisors of Si Tianjian.
He was wearing a navy blue robe with delicate cloud patterns embroidered on the hem, making him appear solemn yet elegant.
His face looks quite young, but his eyes reveal a depth that has gone through many vicissitudes of life.
At this time, he was looking at Yu Hengwu with a look that seemed casual but actually sharp.
"Oh? Fang Yue refused?" Chen Qiyu's tone showed no emotion or anger. He slowly walked to the chair opposite Yu Hengwu and sat down. "What did he say?"
General Fang of Yu Hengwu Yue repeated what he said exactly, and then said with a smile: "This boy is quite self-aware."
When Chen Qiyu heard this, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.
He was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "It is a good thing to be self-aware, but if you are too cautious, you will lose a lot of opportunities, which is not a good thing for young people!" (End of Chapter)
