Heavenly Dao Formula

...

On the way back, Li kept silent.

Xia Fan wanted to comfort her, but repeatedly hesitated to speak.

Said that this is just the other party's family's words, without any evidence? But this is essentially deceiving himself-to be honest, he has believed what Tengu and others said. After all, both parties can reproduce and the offspring are still ordinary humans, which is enough to show that the two are essentially the same species.

That she wasn't necessarily an outcast? He felt that it was meaningless to say such perfunctory words. If she hadn't been abandoned, how could she be picked up by the Privy Council Qingjian in the bamboo forest?

Any relief pales in the face of the cold facts.

"...Why do you keep looking at me?" Li suddenly looked at him and said.

"Uh, I was thinking—"

"How do you want to revive me?" She smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. Since Master left, I have encountered many difficulties than this. You know the most important thing for a demon to survive What is it?"

"What is it?"

"Learn to forget the pain." Li Tanran said, "Otherwise I wouldn't be able to live today."

Xia Fan let out a sigh of relief, "It seems that I underestimated you."

"Hmph, I'm used to the arrogance that humans are accustomed to."

"It's too far-fetched to still divide people and demons now?"

"Of course they have to be divided. Do you think that based on this alone, other people will regard demons as the same kind?"

Xia Fan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, Li was calmer than he wanted.

"Indeed not."

"So I found that I don't hate the person who gave birth to me so much." Li walked two steps quickly with his hands behind his back, "Think about it differently, if I was just an ordinary person, what I gave birth to was a freak with long hair and a tail. I’m probably too scared to know what to do. She didn’t drown me on the spot, but threw me into the forest, and I should be grateful.”

This also made Xia Fan think of something deeper.

Why are there so few demons in the world? If everything is as Tengu said, I am afraid that when a family finds that their offspring are monsters, the first thing they think of is to dispose of them secretly, so as not to spread criticism, rejection, or even disaster.

Those who can be thrown into the wild are already a minority among the few.

"If you had the chance, wouldn't you want to know who your relatives are?"

Li shook his head, "The moment they threw me into the woods, they definitely didn't want the demon to go back and look for them again, so no matter who they are, it has nothing to do with me."

Having said that, she stopped and turned around, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "After all, I am very satisfied with the current situation."

For some reason, Xia Fan suddenly wanted to touch her ears.

"Hurry up, don't forget that there is still training tonight." Li urged.

He returned to reality in an instant, "It's so late and you still want to practice?"

"Of course, this is the same as entraining qi, and it needs to be persevering." Fox Fairy said as a matter of course, "You are now in charge of the command department, and you don't have to report in the morning, so it doesn't matter if you go to bed later."

Xia Fan had no choice but to answer, "Will you practice subject one or subject two?"

"Subjects? Well...it's quite appropriate." Li Zhuo pondered for a while, "Maybe we can come together."

"What?"

"When you dealt with that woman named Qingzi, didn't you use two kinds of exercises at the same time? Of course, when it comes to Kanjutsu, she is far behind me, so you have to concentrate more."

"..."

Xia Fan suddenly felt that tonight might be quite a long time.

...

Wang Yi'an looked at the flickering candlelight in front of him and was a little lost in thought.

He has done countless transactions in his life, with some winning and some losing, but in the end, he won more than he lost. It was precisely because of this that he stood out from many of his peers and seized the right to discuss salt from the previous manager.

It can be said that today's Wang family is the fruit of these transactions.

It has almost become an instinct for him to negotiate with all parties, fight openly and secretly, and profit from it.

And now, a new deal was in front of him.

Wang Yi'an originally thought that there would be no more deals to embarrass him, but it turned out not to be the case.

Especially when what he desires is so close to him.

——For most transactions, rewards and risks coexist with each other.

"Master, the Second Young Master is here." Master's voice came from outside the door.

Wang Yi'an interrupted his thoughts, straightened his collar, "Bring him in."

"Father..." Compared with his usual profligate appearance, Wang Renzhi looked much more honest at the moment.

Thinking of how he was clamoring to report to the State Shepherd's Office at the very beginning, saying that there was a big conspiracy in Gaoshan County, Wang Yi'an felt his forehead twitching. On weekdays, idleness, extravagance and lust are all up to him. Isn't it courting death for such a thing to be in the limelight! Ren Zhi, Ren Zhi, what he thought was that when he grows up, he can do whatever he wants without being restrained by the family, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to stir into this muddy water instead.

Wang Yi'an rubbed his forehead, "Tomorrow morning, I will find someone to take you back to your hometown."

Wang Renzhi was stunned, "Go back to my hometown? I thought you were going to let me go back to the Privy Council. Wait, dad, I'm an alchemist!"

"It's just an eighth-rank official," Wang Yi'an said coldly, "Even if you are a court official, I'm still your father! I've made up my mind on this matter, so you don't have to fight any further."

"Why?" He couldn't accept it, "Princess Guangping hasn't arrived yet, didn't you ask me to get in touch with Her Royal Highness?"

Wang Yian didn't even want to explain.

"Okay, when you get to your hometown, you will know everything." Then he winked at Master Lu.

Master nodded, "Second Young Master, the master has finished explaining, please—"

"I'm not leaving!" Wang Renzhi roared, "Father, what is going on, why did you send people to intercept me on the road? Why did you lock me in the room? Why didn't you let me go back to the Privy Council!? "

Master Lu has already called the servant outside the door to come in.

"Master, offended."

Three or four people worked together to restrain Wang Renzhi and drag him out of the room.

"Father, the matter in Gaoshan County—it won't have anything to do with you, will it?"

The door was closed, and the sound was cut off.

"Master, the Second Young Master seems to have noticed something."

"If he still doesn't know anything about it until today, then he is really hopeless." Wang Yi'an sighed.

"But is it necessary to send him back to his hometown?"

"Ren Zhi is an alchemist after all, what if he escapes over the wall. At this time, he must be safe." At the beginning, he had no intention of sending his second son back to his hometown. try. However, the news that Xia Fan took over the command department made him aware of a great warning sign - at least according to the information he had, the reason for the other party's meritorious service was simply untenable. But Princess Guangping not only did not deny it, but also vigorously promoted this statement, which is worth thinking about.

No matter what, Wang Renzhi couldn't have any further contact with that person named Xia Fan.

Especially after he received the secret letter from Yuan Zheng.

The other party promised in the letter that as long as Xia Fan can be eliminated, the Jinxia Privy Council will support the second son of the Wang family to replace him.

Before, no matter what he asked for from the Privy Council, or what the Privy Council asked him to do, there was no clear written evidence, it was more of a hidden rule. The Privy Council will always be on top, and will not regard people like him as real partners.

But now, things are a little different.

It is impossible for Yuan Zong to be transferred back. What he wants is undoubtedly revenge, while the other three departments of the Privy Council hope that everything can get back on track. Judging from the rewards alone, this is not a wild bet, and the content of the transaction is completely within the reasonable range .

The biggest risk is that Xia Fan is already the fifth-rank official of the Privy Council.

And he wants to use that kind of power that he can't understand.

After a moment of silence, Wang Yi'an said in a deep voice, "Let Qingzhi inform the East China Sea Gang that I have a task for them."

He has done countless transactions, some of which have won and lost.

But in the end it was the majority that won.

What's more, the Wang family still holds the solid foundation of the salt industry.

He trusted his own judgment, as he had done in the past.
