In front of the door.

Lu Yan poked the iron ball with his right index finger while telling Xie Zhuoyan, who was leaning on the railing, a story.

Xie Zhuoyan was eating fruits and drinking wine, listening with gusto.

Lu Yan looked at Xie Zhuoyan's enjoyment and said, "It's getting late. Let's stop here today."

Xie Zhuoyan glanced at Lu Yan's right hand and asked, "Are you practicing finger skills?"

Lu Yan nodded, this was an obvious thing and there was nothing to hide.

Xie Zhuoyan raised his hand, put his right index finger and middle finger together, and pointed at the iron ball through the air like a sword.

Boom!

The iron ball made a dull sound and was about to fly away. Lu Yan stepped forward in time to hug the iron ball.

Xie Zhuoyan looked at Lu Yan with a smile and said, "What do you think of my finger?"

Lu Yan glanced at the dent on the iron ball that was a finger deep, then glanced at Xie Zhuoyan and said, "It's pretty impressive."

Xie Zhuoyan stretched and said, "This is the secret skill passed down from my family at Shenjian Villa. It's called Xie's Sword Finger. If you're interested, I can teach you."

Lu Yan looked at Xie Zhuoyan with a subtle look and said, "You can't teach me for no reason, so what conditions do you want from me in exchange?"

Xie Zhuoyan took a step forward, approached Lu Yan, and said, "I want to know your true identity."

Lu Yan didn't say anything, turned around and went back to his room, then closed the door, all in one movement.

When Xie Zhuoyan saw the door being closed, he was slightly startled, then stepped forward to raise his hand to slam the door, but stopped again when he raised his hand.

"Forget it, the days are long and I will figure it out sooner or later!"

…

In front of the gate of Hulong Villa.

Shangguan Haitang looked at the familiar door in front of him with a tired look on his face.

Even as a warrior, running back and forth almost non-stop would be a bit overwhelming.

She took a deep breath, straightened her appearance, walked into the villa, and went straight to the main hall.

Tiedan Shenhou sat on the throne, watching Shangguan Haitang walk into the hall alone, and asked in a deep voice: "You failed?"

Shangguan Haitang knelt down on one knee and replied: "It was Haitang who betrayed her adoptive father's trust."

The Tiedan Shenhou looked angry when he heard this, but soon he calmed down his anger and asked: "What is going on?"

Shangguan Haitang replied: "Cao Zhengchun once contacted Lu Yan privately, which made Lu Yan wary of Haitang."

The Tiedan Shenhou snorted coldly and said: "Sooner or later, sooner or later, I will cut Cao Zhengchun into pieces!"

At this point, Lord Tiedan asked Shangguan Haitang again: "Lu Yan saw through your vicious plan and let you back so easily?"

Shangguan Haitang nodded and said, "Lu Yan not only let me go, but also gave me something."

With that said, Shangguan Haitang took out the black iron token from his sleeve and presented it to Lord Tietan.

Tiedan Shenhou stood up and walked over, holding the token in his hand. When he saw the word "Tianzun", his face couldn't help but change slightly!

"Is Lu Yan a member of Tianzun?"

Shangguan Haitang nodded and replied: "Lu Yan said that he lived in Tianzun since he was a child and did not leave until he became a grand master, so the adoptive father could not trace his traces at all."

After hearing this, Tiedan Shenhou pondered for a moment and said: "Tianzun's organization has always been mysterious and unpredictable. Since Lu Yan comes from Tianzun, it is normal that we will not be able to find out his origin."

After the establishment of Hulong Villa, Tiedan Shenhou also investigated Tianzun, but except for some vague clues, there was basically nothing gained.

At this time, I saw the token representing Tianzun, and then looked back at Lu Yan's mysterious origins. Everything seemed to have been reasonably explained.

Shangguan Haitang said again: "Father, Lu Yan also asked me to bring you a message."

Tiedan Shenhou was a little curious and asked: "What does he want to say to me?"

Shangguan Haitang replied: "Lu Yan said that he could help his foster father deal with Cao Zhengchun, but accordingly, his foster father would also have to help him deal with Dongfang Bubai."

Tie Dan Shenhou smiled coldly and said: "Although Cao Zhengchun has some abilities, if I want to kill him, I can do it at any time. I don't need Lu Yan's help at all!"

Shangguan Haitang looked at Lord Tiedan with subtle eyes and said, "Lu Yan also mentioned another thing. He said that he could mobilize the power of Tianzun to help his adoptive father find what he wants most."

While talking, Shangguan Haitang took out a piece of paper and handed it to Marquis Tietan.

Tiedan Shenhou took the note and opened it, only to see four big characters written on the note - Tianxiang Cardamom!

Seeing the four words "Tianxiang Cardamom", Tiedan Shenhou's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately asked excitedly: "Does he know where Tianxiang Cardamom is?"

Shangguan Haitang shook his head and said: "Haitang doesn't know this, but Lu Yan said that as long as his adoptive father can help him deal with Dongfang Bubai, within a year, he will definitely give him a piece of heavenly fragrant cardamom!"

After hearing what Shangguan Haitang said, Tiedan Shenhou just thought about it briefly and made a decision, that is, agree to Lu Yan's request and cooperate with Lu Yan!

For him, nothing in this world is more important than finding the fragrant cardamom!

…

Qixia Town, Tongfu Inn.

Lu Yan poked the iron ball in the air and said to Xie Zhuoyan who was standing aside: "I have finished telling the previous story of "In the Snow" as you asked. Now should you fulfill your promise and help me improve my performance?

Plan?"

Xie Zhuoyan heard Lu Yan's words and said with a smile: "You can't be so naive and think that if you tell me a story, I will really help you, right?"

Lu Yan's expression did not change when he heard Xie Zhuoyan's words.

He originally didn't have high expectations for Xie Zhuoyan, but when he saw that Xie Zhuoyan wanted to break his promise, he didn't feel angry or surprised at all.

On the other hand, Xie Zhuoyan, seeing Lu Yan's calm face at this moment, couldn't help but feel a little strange, and asked: "You were teased by me, aren't you angry at all?"

Lu Yan said calmly: "There is no point in being angry. I might as well just kill you to vent my anger!"

While speaking, Lu Yan suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Xie Zhuoyan's shoulder. Xie Zhuoyan stepped back and distanced himself from Lu Yan while saying, "I'm not kidding you anymore. I was joking just now. I had no intention of not helping you."

Lu Yan took a deep look at Xie Zhuoyan and said, "You and I have only known each other for a few days, and we are not even friends. If you are joking with me, I may not find it interesting!"

Xie Zhuoyan didn't take it seriously when he heard this, and said with a smile: "We are not friends, then we can be considered partners."

She seemed to be afraid that Lu Yan would take action again, and immediately said: "I can arrange an identity for you in Shenjian Villa, and deliberately expose it to Lord Tietan. Outsiders will think that Shenjian Villa and Tianzun are one. Lord Tietan

Hou will be no exception. If he finds out your identity at Shenjian Villa, he will definitely think that you are a member of Tianzun."

"Not all members of Tianzun know each other. As long as no core member of Tianzun comes forward, no one will be able to expose you."

"And based on my understanding of Tianzun, their current core members almost never set foot in the world. In other words, your new identity is almost seamless."

"Does this help you perfect your plan?"

Third update.
