Chapter 9 Asking without shame

In the following year, the young Fan Xian began to learn all the knowledge about poisons with Teacher Fei from Kyoto. He occasionally took time out of the city, crossed mountains and rivers to find plant-based poisons such as Makoto and Barbados nuts, and tasted all kinds of fungi. He had stomachache countless times. If it weren't for the Master of the Poison Family around him, he would have gone to the underworld long ago.

Of course, in order to learn all this more deeply, under the leadership of Teacher Fei Jie, the illegitimate son of Earl Si Nan had committed numerous bloody crimes. Countless little white rabbits with short tails and the heroic souls of toads running around were buried under his slender and weak hands.

This year, Fan Xian was five years old.

It’s strange that since Fei Jie came to Danzhou Port, Wu Zhu, who has been living in the grocery store, seems to no longer deliberately avoid Fan Xian. At least whenever Fan Xian sneaks to the grocery store to drink wine that children will definitely not be able to drink, Wu Zhu always helps him make some side dishes to eat.

Fan Xian is sometimes very strange. Wu Zhu is his mother's servant, so why doesn't he even care about drinking himself?

Fan Xian knew that his mother must not be an ordinary person, so he had a servant who was loyal and terrifying, as a servant like Wu Zhu. However, Fan Xian was not sure whether this blind master would stay by his side and take care of him.

For some reason, before he knew it, Fan Xian gradually got used to Wuzhu protecting himself not far away, and used to the black cloth covering Wuzhu's eyes that appeared in a certain corner from time to time, such as under the bamboo at the corner of the alley, next to the tofu stall on the street, and so on.

During this year, the true qi in Fan Xian's body was slow but extremely stable, and he was almost approaching a certain threshold. However, the domineering true qi that could accumulate in his sleep became a little no longer stable, making his emotions slightly sensational.

He knew that in this still strange world, there were many unknown dangers, and at least there must be many problems in the Earl of Kyoto Shinan's mansion that he did not know very well.

And just after he woke up, he set a goal for himself: "Life well and improve every day!"

Because of this "great" goal, in order to save his life and carry out his three major tasks that he is even more "great" in the future, he is very persistent in practicing.

Moreover, because I suffered from myasthenia gravis in my previous life, I had no way to move, so I suddenly could walk freely in this life, which made Fan Xian cherish this ability. I would get up early in the morning to exercise, climb high and low, and work so hard that even Fei Jie felt it was terrifying.

It’s just a pity that I can’t find a way to practice magic at the moment. If we talk about diligence, he is definitely much more diligent than any child, but he often comforts himself that as a twenty-year-old young man, of course, he must be more diligent than those little slugs.

In fact, no one knows that he is not able to endure hardships, he is just ADHD. After lying for more than ten years, no matter how lazy he is, he will never want to lie down.

...

...

At night, in the room where Mr. Fei Jie lived alone, the light of the oil lamp had not yet dissipated. He leaned against the table, and his gray hair seemed to appear more black than when he first came to Danzhou Port. At this time, he was carrying a quill and writing something on the white letter paper.

There was a knock on the door outside, and Fei Jietou didn't look back and said softly: "Come in."

Fan Xian pushed open the door, stepped across the high threshold, touched his little head, and laughed and leaned over: "What is the teacher writing?"

Fei Jie didn't avoid him much, and pushed the letter aside casually, turned around and asked in a harmonious voice, "What's the matter?"

I spent a year with Earl Sinan's illegitimate son. For some reason, this poison science expert in the Supervision Institute, who made countless officials scared, felt a little warm in his heart. Seeing this boy was joyful from the bottom of his heart. The little guy was young, but he could endure hardships and was willing to study. He did not have the very artificial disgust of poisons like the world, which made Fei Jie feel very comfortable.

And the most important thing is that Fan Xian is very smart and sensible, and sometimes he doesn't even look like a five-year-old child.

"Teacher." Fan Xian moved his butt and moved to the bench with some difficulty. "I really want to know what kind of person my parents are."

In fact, this is the fourth time Fan Xian has asked about the past of Earl Si Nan and his mother in a year, but when he asked the first few times, Fei Jie always ignored it.

"Your father... is a very amazing person," Fei Jie said, "Of course, your mother is an even more amazing person."

To put it simply, it is a waste of time. The Supervision Bureau is a terrifying place where the entire country is responsible for investigating major cases and major crimes by officials. Fei Jie was an early staff member of the hospital. Later, he served as the organizer of the three departments. He has always been a high-ranking position. Even in a place like Kyoto where he is hidden, he is still a target for everyone to fear.

It was such a terrifying Master of Poison who was sent to the distant Danzhou City by Earl Si Nan to teach his illegitimate son in one sentence.

You can even imagine how terrifying the power of Earl Si Nan in Kyoto with his toes. I just don’t know if this power is official or the energy hidden in the dark.

As for the mother who died on the day she was "born", although Fan Xian didn't know what kind of woman she was, his intuition told him that this mother must be very difficult, and he didn't know whether it was because of her blood or other reasons. He always felt that he missed the woman who didn't know her name and had never seen before.

Fei Jie didn't seem to want to talk about this question and asked lightly: "Since the concubine has given birth to a son, it is natural that you will not be able to inherit everything from the Earl's Mansion in the future. What are you going to do?"

Fan Xian smiled sweetly: "The teacher taught me to use poison and also to detoxify. In fact, I have learned a lot of medical knowledge. If it is really not good in the future, I can be a doctor."

Fei Jie stroked his long beard under his jaw and said proudly: "That's natural. Even the imperial physician in the palace may not be better than me in terms of medical skills. As my only student, you will naturally be more than enough to be a doctor in the future."

The master and apprentice said this, but in fact they knew very well that it was just a luxury.

Fan Xian suddenly asked, "Teacher, the true qi method I practiced seems to have some problems. In fact, I came here quietly tonight to ask the teacher for advice."

Fei Jie believed that he was more powerful than using poison than anyone else, but he never wanted to teach Fan Xian other skills because he always talked to Fan Xian.

"Human life is limited, and the methods of killing are infinite, so we should devote our limited life to infinite pursuit of the most powerful method of killing."

In Teacher Fei's eyes, the most powerful way to kill is naturally poisoning.

Now that Fan Xian has the best poisoning teacher, what kind of true energy can he practice? As for Fan Xian's spells that he never forgets, Fei Jie, like ordinary people in Qing, believes that it is just a kind of useless learning to assist in combat.
