Chapter 20: The Eve

The bamboo forest is rustling under the moon.

Lu Fanchi and Cha Shisan stood outside the courtyard gate, one of them was gesticulating with his hands and talking about something, and the other was wearing a bronze face with no expression.

Cha Shisan asked: "Sir, have you thought about how to use this medicinal herb?"

Lu Fanchi lifted his chin and said thoughtfully: "Without Chu Muqing, these herbs will have little effect, and tomorrow..."

Cha Shisan smiled and said: "Tomorrow's incident... It means that Mr. will become a dangerous person and confront Fang Daoquan's 'Ascension to Immortality' method head-on."

Lu Fanchi pursed his lips and frowned: "It would be better to just break into Jinyuan Palace and cut Fangdao with your hands. What did you do before I came to Yuguo? Just watch them arrest people for training? Have you ever thought about it?

Can you sneak into the palace and cure Prince Yu's illness?"

Cha Shisan shook his head and said: "Sir, you are joking. It is impossible to sneak into the palace. Not to mention Fang Daoquan's men and guards can stop you. We have tried various methods, but to no avail."

Lu Fanchi was suddenly confused and said: "Among the twelve Xuannv, besides Lu Cui, Jiang Li, and Mo Zhao, who else is a monk?"

Cha Shisan shook his head and said: "Well...Sir, I actually didn't admit it...what I know is what Xuannv wants me to know. All I know is that they are also lurking beside Fang Daoquan,

If they hadn't secretly helped, we wouldn't have planned the peace negotiation easily."

Lu Fanchi was surprised: "You didn't admit it all? Then you told me before that there were four officials, except Ning Bai and Mo Zhao, and the other two were secretly hiding around Fang Daoquan?"

"Um."

While the two were talking.

Su Ran and Mei Han came from the bamboo forest path. After Cha Shisan saw the two of them, he left in a hurry for some unknown reason.

Passing by, Mei Han couldn't help being startled by the bronze face. Fortunately, Su Ran pulled Mei Hua and walked past quickly.

Mei Han's stubborn face seemed to be due to Su Ran's strong persuasion all the way before he came to the small bamboo house. When he saw Lu Fanchi, he didn't give him a good look.

Fan Qing, who was having fun at a small table in the courtyard, saw that familiar face and hurried back into the house.

Lu Fanchi smiled half-heartedly and joked: "Look at you, you scare away the children."

Mei Han ignored it, looked around and said, "Is this your home?"

"Sit down first..."

The three of them sat down at a small table outside the courtyard. The two women from Jingfeng Tower looked at each other, but had something to say but couldn't say anything.

Fan Qing, who thought he had entered the room because of embarrassment, came over with tea. Seeing this, Su Ran bent down and helped the little girl.

Seeing that Lu Fanchi was indifferent, Mei Han asked curiously: "Your child is holding tea, and you actually turn a blind eye?"

Lu Fanchi smiled and said: "What, you started to fight for her too?"

Mei Han frowned and said, "You're not very young, but you have children. It seems you are also a bastard."

Su Ran laughed out loud and said, "Fan Qing is the young master's servant."

Recalling the scene on the street that day, Mei Han was surprised and said: "You beat two of my guards for a page boy and humiliated me?"

Lu Fanchi said: "Miss Mei, I never said Fan Qing was my servant. Are you so prejudiced that you have read so many books in vain?"

Mei Han lowered his head in shame, and then said: "I asked Su Ran to bring me here because I wanted to tell you about the person I drove away that day."

Lu Fanchi listened attentively and said, "I also want to know."

"That man was very strange. He smelled like medicine. He was dressed in black and wore a bamboo hat. His face couldn't be seen clearly. Jingfeng Tower is a place of romance. No matter who came, it was the same. But that day... that man was so charming.

He paid a lot of money and ordered me, but he didn't let me play the pipa or dance. He took a bunch of letters and gave them to me. When I got close to that person... that person's face... so

I just drove him away..."

At this time, Mei Han recalled the man's rotting face and hid in Su Ran's arms. Then Su Ran added: "It's the medicine man."

Lu Fanchi raised his hand and rubbed his brow. The medicine man escaped privately. So Wuyu had to rob someone in public? Unless there was something on Mei Han that he couldn't get secretly, so he had to rob it openly?

Lu Fanchi then asked: "What was written in the letter?"

Mei Han said: "Some poems."

Lu Fanchi said: "Do you know Wu Yu?"

Mei Han said: "Wu Yu came here a month ago."

"Wu Yu came here? What did he do?"

"Wuyu is just listening to music."

Lu Fanchi hadn't arrived in Yuguo a month ago and didn't know much about Wuyu. As for the medicine man, did he plan to let the medicine man compete with him tomorrow?

Mei Han stopped sobbing and said firmly: "Lu Fanchi, thank you for saving me, but if you lose tomorrow, I would rather die."

Lu Fanchi smiled and said: "Miss Mei, do you look down on me so much?"

"Sir!" Su Ran frowned and shook his head.

Mei Han looked at the young man with a smile. Under the bright moonlight, there was no trace of tears in his eyes, but they were still bright and clear. No matter how you looked at them, they were just a bitter smile.

Lu Fanchi kept silent.

"My mother is the same as me, except that she is a prostitute and comes from a poor family. My father is a teacher and an idiot. He is the biggest idiot in the world. He is so stupid that he doesn't even know if I am her biological daughter."

"That year of famine, there was only so much food in the village, but my father's so-called humility was just tolerance. After someone took away his things, he still smiled and told me that he would keep my share, so he died.

But in winter, I starve to death."

"Pedantry! Now with my ability, I can make these people line up to pay to see me, praise me, and envy me. What do I do and what do I do, and I still need to take care of it? This is what I deserve. The worst is... death.

..You must die decently!”

Mei Han suddenly slapped the table with both hands, took a deep breath, leaned back, and tried her best to shed tears back into her eyes. She then said: "So! Lu Fanchi, you will really really really really tomorrow

If I lose, I would really rather jump off the Jingfeng Tower and fall to my death than become an ugly monster."

Mei Han calmed down, looked at the boy and asked, "Why did you close your eyes?"

Lu Fanchi smiled and said, "I'm afraid."

Mei Han said: "Are you afraid of losing?"

Lu Fanchi laughed loudly and said: "I opened my eyes because I was afraid that the ugly monster would blind my eyes."

Mei Han said angrily: "You...are still humiliating me, so heartless."

Lu Fanchi did not dare to promise Mei Han what the odds of winning were. He knew in his heart that he very much hoped that one of the twelve Xuannv would be able to help solve the problem.

In Jinyuan Palace, Wu Yu hurriedly walked forward and glanced around. The person who usually sat on the Taishi chair was not his master, but the young man in black robe.

Wuyu asked: "Where is my master? Why are you sitting here!"

The young man in black robe yawned and replied listlessly: "Your master has many things to do every day, but he is still busy now. What's the matter, Xiaoyuzi? Do you need my brother to help you?"

Wuyu didn't want to see the person in front of him and said: "If it weren't for you! I wouldn't have let the medicine man sneak out!"

The young man in black robe smiled and said: "How pitiful he is inside, he just wants to see his beloved, I'm just convenient. Besides, your master didn't blame him, and... your master is eager to let everyone know.
