At noon on the second day, Murong Zhi punctually went to the Jade View Workshop to meet with them. By the time Shangguan Yi arrived, he was already there. The two of them sat down in the private room.
"Speak, what did you come looking for me for this time?" The moment Murong Zhi sat down, he sized up Xuanyuan Zhan and asked bluntly.
Xuanyuan Zhan did not waste any time talking and asked him: "Have you ever heard of the book that the War God of the Qi Nation passed down two hundred years ago?"
Murong Zhi thought for a moment, then said: "I have heard of this before, but didn't they say that the secret manual was destroyed long ago? "Why do you ask me when you think about it today?"
"With how shrewd you are, how could you not know that in the past, other than that secret manual that was passed down a long time ago, there was also a piece of parchment that was passed down." That piece of parchment was secretly copied by a servant of the warlord's mansion of the Qi Nation.
Hearing that Xuanyuan Zhan had unrestrainedly exposed himself, Murong Zhi could not help but be embarrassed and laughed dryly.
"Cough cough, but isn't that servant already dead? Furthermore, all these years, it was just a rumor. No one has really seen that piece of parchment. " Shangguan Yi said, "It can't be that you believe it to be true and want to find it?"
"The rumors might not be fake. Furthermore, with your intelligence, Murong Zhi, I do not believe that you would not want to know. Honestly speaking, I want you to use the power of the Flying Hung Pavilion to help me investigate. " Xuanyuan Zhan did not tell Murong Zhi that the other half of the parchment was in Feng Yu's hands.
Hearing Xuanyuan Zhan's words, Shangguan Yi could not help but become serious, and felt that Xuanyuan Zhan would not speak carelessly without thinking, there must be a basis for it.
"Did you discover something?" Shangguan Yi asked tentatively.
"I was only asked by someone to do a favor for someone else, so I can return the favor."
"Alright, since you've already spoken, I naturally am willing to help you with this favor." Rest assured, I will have the people from Flying Hung Pavilion investigate it, if there is any news, I will inform you immediately. "
"Thank you very much."
Feng Yu was extremely intelligent and quickly learned most of the contents on the parchment paper.
Feng Yu also did not pay much attention to the possibility of the other half of the parchment. On this day, as usual, Feng Yu was practicing in the training room. She took out a piece of parchment paper for reference.
The last sentence on the parchment paper didn't seem to be complete. Feng Yu carefully observed the parchment paper and discovered that one end seemed to be a bit uneven, as if there was a gap.
After discovering that this piece of parchment was incomplete, Feng Yu thought that since she already obtained this half, then the other half would naturally exist. She wanted to find it.
However, it was impossible to find the half piece of parchment using his own power, and he didn't want Xuanyuan Zhan to know about it either, so it would definitely be impossible to get Xuanyuan Zhan's help. Feng Yu suddenly thought of Murong Zhi. Murong Zhi was the pavilion master of the Flying Hung Pavilion, and the Flying Hung Pavilion was the largest intelligence organization in the Xiao Kingdom. Thus, Feng Yu decided to ask for Murong Zhi's help.
"Wan Er ~" Feng Yu cried out.
Hearing Feng Yu call him again, Wan Er walked over. "Royal Consort."
"Go and tell Murong Zhi that I have something I need his help with, and invite him to come to the Battle King Manor to meet me."
"Yes, this servant will go inform the Pavilion Master right away."
"Remember, do not let Xuanyuan Zhan find out that you went to find Murong Zhi. Also, let him come here quietly when he wants to, and don't let the Battle-King know. "
"Yes." Although Wan Er was puzzled, in the end, he did not ask.
At night, a vigorous figure shuttled back and forth on the roof of Battle King Manor and disappeared from Feng Yu's courtyard.
From the beam of the house, he saw that Feng Yu was alone in the room, so she casually landed on the ground.
"Speak, why are you being so secretive, and even letting me sneakily come to see you so that Xuanyuan Zhan won't find out what's going on?"
Feng Yu got up and went to the inner room. She took out the piece of parchment and placed it on the table. "Take a look at this!"
"What?" Murong Zhi picked it up and saw that the martial arts technique on the piece of parchment was not ordinary. It seemed to be, by the way, the secret technique written by the Qi Nation's War God that Xuanyuan Zhan had asked him to help to find.
Murong Zhi's face instantly became extremely serious, "Where did you get this?"
Feng Yu naturally would not tell him the truth. "This was the time when I accompanied Dou Dou to the Ghost Market, and randomly bought it from a stall. What's wrong? " Feng Yu said with a sincere face as if everything I've said was true and I'm not lying to you.
"You bought it at random from a stall?" Murong Zhi blushed with shame, "This is not a normal cultivation technique manual. If you could learn all the contents here, I'll tell you, you are truly a heaven defying person."
"Is that so?" Feng Yu questioned, "Is this cultivation method really that powerful?"
"What do you think?" Murong Zhi was so angry that he nearly rolled his eyes.
Murong Zhi had a look of being defeated by you, "Do you know who created this cultivation technique on the parchment?"
"I don't know."
"This cultivation technique was written by the War God of the Qi Empire in front of him. After the destruction of the Qi Nation, this cultivation technique was fought over by the people of the world, resulting in a bloodbath. The original cultivation technique was destroyed, leaving only this piece of parchment as a legacy. I didn't expect you to get it. "
"That can only mean that I'm very lucky. Look, I casually bought one at a roadside stall and it's so heaven-defying." Feng Yu said, "To tell you the truth, when I was cultivating I discovered that this cultivation method is not ordinary, so I wanted to ask you to help me find the other half."
Thinking back to yesterday when Xuanyuan Zhan asked him to help him search for this thing, could it be that Xuanyuan Zhan didn't know that half of this thing was in Feng Yu's hands.
When Feng Yu obtained the cultivation method on the parchment paper, she knew that it was definitely not simple. Otherwise, he wouldn't have hidden it in such a secretive place. She just didn't know that it had something to do with the war god of the Qi Kingdom.
"You, after properly learning this half scroll of parchment, are already very strong."
"I know, but I just want you to ask about the other half for me." Feng Yu said, "Isn't it better to have all of these amazing things?"
Yesterday, Xuanyuan Zhan came to find me, and wanted me to ask about the secrets of this technique. Today, you asked me to help you look for the other half of the technique, what's the meaning of that? "I just didn't expect you to have half of the manual."
"Xuanyuan Zhan." Why would he want to find this book? He thought back to when Xuanyuan Zhan had asked him how he got this book from the stall he bought from his. would naturally be suspicious of him knowing that even Murong Zhi knew about it. However, he actually went to investigate and did not believe him. Did he want the other half of the sheepskin book?
"The two of you are truly interesting. You both wanted to find this thing, and both of you even told me to secretly investigate and not leak it out to anyone else." Murong Zhi ridiculed, "Could it be that both of you want to obtain this technique?"
Murong Zhi's words couldn't help but cause Feng Yu to become suspicious. Yes, he might not need this item, but why did he send Murong Zhi to investigate? Could it be that he didn't want to let her know that Feng Yu was unhappy and wanted to test Xuanyuan Zhan?
"So you're here. I was looking for you everywhere."
Xuanyuan Zhan raised his head from the desk, "What's wrong, why are you looking for this king?"
Feng Yu took out a piece of parchment from her sleeve and placed it on the table. "There are many things I don't understand about this parchment technique. I don't want to learn it, so I'll give it to you." You're smart enough to help you. "
"Yu Er, what's the meaning of this?" Sensing that Feng Yu had intentionally kept away from him today, and was even giving this art to him now, Xuanyuan Zhan realized that something was amiss. You should keep this for yourself, right? This King does not need it. Besides, do you think that with This King's strength, such a thing is necessary? "
Feng Yu raised his head and looked at Xuanyuan Zhan. Looking at Feng Yu's probing gaze, Xuanyuan Zhan felt very unhappy. He pretended to lower his head and read the book.
"Anything else?"
"There's nothing else. You should read properly. I'll be leaving first."
After Feng Yu left, Xuanyuan Zhan called Lightning over, telling him to investigate what kind of person Feng Yu had met in the past few days.
"Reporting to Your Highness, the day before yesterday, the wangfei asked to meet with Pavilion Master Murong in the side courtyard, so no one in the mansion knew about it."
"She's looking for Murong Zhi?" Why was she looking for Murong Zhi? Xuanyuan Zhan thought.
With his intelligence, it must have been Murong that told her something. He then left the Duke's Palace alone and headed towards the Flying Hung Pavilion to find that fellow Murong.
"Oh, why is His Majesty the Battle-King here personally, is she asking me about what you told me to investigate two days ago?" Murong Zhi waved his fan and said, "This matter, I have not begun to investigate. "If there's any news, I'll definitely tell you. Don't be anxious ~"
"Did you secretly meet Yu Er yesterday?"
"How boring, interrogating others as soon as we get up. Murong Zhi was speechless.
"Speak."
"Alright, alright, alright. I'll just tell you." Thus, Murong Yu told him about how Feng Yu came to him for help that day. Oh, right, he didn't forget to tell him that he had betrayed him and that Feng Yu was also looking for this secret manual.
Xuanyuan Zhan saw that Murong Zhi was not afraid of death and ignited the flames, he was extremely angry. However, when he thought about how Feng Yu didn't believe him, he didn't feel the slightest bit of trust.
That night, Xuanyuan Zhan found Feng Yu, "Yu Er, did you give me that piece of parchment today to test me?"
Since Feng Yu did not say anything, Xuanyuan Zhan understood, "Do you really not trust this duke? This King has never lied to you before. "
Hearing Xuanyuan Zhan's words, Feng Yu raised her head and looked into Xuanyuan Zhan's eyes, "Then, didn't you say that you don't trust me?"
"You." Wasn't I doing this to protect you? Why don't you understand? Xuanyuan Zhan thought in his heart.
However, when he heard Feng Yu say such things about him, he became extremely angry and left the courtyard in a fit of rage.
