Chapter 85: Breaking into the Top 100 in the Romantic Ranking! Fan Xian Visits Prince Yong's Residence! (33, Please Subscribe)

Si Lili was puzzled, then turned her head to look.

She saw the clear mirror reflecting both of them distinctly.

She had never seen such an erotic scene in her life; the expanse of white was truly too shameful!

The woman was overcome with shyness, wanting to turn away, but Li Chang'an was already pushing her forward, and in a few steps, they were in front of the mirror.

Si Lili lowered her head in shame and indignation, but Li Chang'an lifted it, forcing her to look into the mirror… Si Lili felt Li Chang'an’s hands supporting her waist, pressing her against the mirror, unable to move.

“Spread your legs, put your feet here, put strength in your waist.”

“Yes… look up at the mirror… relax… relax…”

It's just an injection; the more nervous you are, the more it hurts.

Si Lili was both ashamed and anxious. Damn these royal scions! Their games were too much!

It was bad enough to toy with women, but to make them watch themselves being toyed with in a mirror!

Soon after, Si Lili was immersed in wave after wave of stimulation, completely forgetting what shame was.

In the Capital, Li Yunrui’s villa.

A nimble Shadow Guard leaped into the courtyard under the cover of night.

“Your Highness, Fan Xian and Zong Zhui lost Si Lili and are almost back in the city.”

The Female Official by The Eldest Princess’s side had been waiting for news here.

If Fan Xian truly intended to investigate Fang Daren, then according to The Eldest Princess’s wishes, the entire general’s residence would be silenced as a warning to Fan Xian.

The Female Official stood up, her expression resolute, “You take a dozen men and make everyone in Fang Daren’s household hang themselves!”

“Be careful to conceal your tracks and avoid running into Shadow Guard’s hidden posts.”

The general’s residence.

Fang Daren had been restless ever since the Niulan Street assassination attempt yesterday noon.

He had already found out that the assassins used military-grade bows and siege crossbows.

The Patrol Division had lost a batch of military equipment a month ago, but military equipment wasn’t that easy to lose.

In fact, Fang Daren had privately resold it to make a profit.

After all, there were many nobles in the Capital, and keeping some military equipment for self-defense was not uncommon.

The batch from a month ago was sold to Lin Gong of the Prime Minister's Residence.

If the assassination had succeeded and the military equipment had been taken from the scene, then all would have been well.

But the assassination failed, and the military equipment fell into the hands of the Supervisory Council. He was truly in grave danger!

Just as he was on pins and needles, a sudden sound of fighting erupted in the courtyard.

“Master, assassins have entered the residence…”

“General, the attackers are extremely skilled in martial arts!”

Fang Daren went out with his saber, only to find that several guards had all been knocked unconscious!

“Who are you people, and why did you knock out my guards?!”

A masked man laughed and said, “We knocked them out so you could all hang yourselves!”

The entire household to hang themselves!

Hearing this conclusion, Fang Daren, as a military general, couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. What a vicious method!

The black-clad men were highly skilled in martial arts, and the guards were no match. Several black-clad men had already surrounded Fang Daren.

At this moment, more than a dozen experts in armor leaped into the courtyard from outside.

“Assassins discovered in the general’s residence, kill without mercy!”

Fang Daren recognized the armor; it belonged to the Shadow Guard of the Dragon Guard Manor, who had recently been searching for assassins in the city!

For Fang Daren, this was a heaven-sent blessing.

The Shadow Guard experts were clearly stronger in martial arts, killing more than half of the black-clad men in moments.

Xing Yusen was the last to leap over the courtyard wall, and in a few moves, he killed the black-clad men surrounding Fang Daren.

When Fang Daren saw Xing Yusen, he immediately knelt down excitedly, kowtowing three times with loud thuds.

“Lao Xing, thank you for saving my entire family!”

Xing Yusen first helped him up, then ordered his men to throw all the black-clad men’s bodies into the courtyard.

“General Fang, these don’t look like assassins from an enemy country; it seems someone is seeking revenge against you.”

At this moment, the Shadow Guard also searched the black-clad men and then reported to Xing Yusen.

“Reporting to Commander Xing, these men have no identification on them.”

Xing Yusen was not surprised at all. “Take the two living captives back for interrogation.”

The Jianghu figures kept by powerful nobles might not know who the highest level person was, or their families might be held hostage.

Therefore, Xing Yusen estimated that nothing would be extracted from the interrogation.

After settling his family, Fang Daren nervously approached Xing Yusen.

“Your Highness Prince Yong saved my entire family’s lives. If there is any command, I, Fang, will certainly go through fire and water without hesitation!”

Xing Yusen casually said, “It’s good to show gratitude, but this is just our duty; don’t overthink it.”

Just then, Fan Xian and Zong Zhui rushed to the general’s residence.

The two had intended to sneak in quietly, but finding the main gate open, they walked straight in.

Seeing the bodies scattered on the ground and Xing Yusen, Fan Xian immediately cupped his hands and said, “I haven’t thanked Commander Xing for saving my life yet; I didn’t expect to meet so soon.”

Xing Yusen recounted what had just happened, and Fan Xian’s expression immediately turned very ugly.

“Commander Xing, General Fang, you mean someone wants to use the lives of dozens of people in this residence to warn me?!”

Xing Yusen replied, “If we hadn’t discovered the black-clad men, what you would be facing upon arriving here would be dozens of corpses hanging from the rafters.”

Fan Xian was both angry and alarmed. “General Fang, do you know the mastermind?”

Fang Daren trembled, his tone suddenly changing, “The military equipment was stolen! I don’t know any mastermind!”

“Fan Xian, even if the Supervisory Council arrests and interrogates me with official documents, I will still say the same thing.”

“At worst, I, Fang Daren, will commit suicide, to avoid implicating my family.”

A dignified third-rank military general would rather commit suicide than reveal the mastermind!

Fan Xian looked at the unyielding Fang Daren, feeling a headache.

Xing Yusen was not in a hurry either; Li Chang'an had only asked him to ensure the safety of Fang Daren’s family.

“Gentlemen, the assassins have been punished. I, Xing, shall take my leave!”

Li Chang'an believed that as long as Fang Daren was alive, with Fan Xian’s intelligence and the power behind him, he should be able to extract information about Lin Gong.

Fan Xian learning the true culprit behind the assassination, making an enemy of the Prime Minister's Residence, and then gradually giving up his thoughts on Lin Wan'er—this was another purpose of Li Chang'an saving Fang Daren.

After Xing Yusen left, Fan Xian and Fang Daren reached a stalemate.

All the assassins in Niulan Street were dead, and the possibility of Si Lili being brought back was slim.

Fang Daren, the only Breakthrough, would rather commit suicide than publicly identify the mastermind.

This meant that punishing the mastermind through public judicial means would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

The Niulan Street assassination case was very likely to be closed according to Zhu Ge’s proposed direction, with Northern Qi as the mastermind, pleasing everyone!

But as the target of the assassination, how could Fan Xian be reconciled? His two guard friends also could not die in vain.

At this point, Fan Xian had to take a step back and first get the identity of the mastermind, not forcing Fang Daren to testify publicly.

If judicial punishment was not possible, then private revenge it would be!

He even drove Zong Zhui out the door and said to Fang Daren, “General Fang, do you know you are already on a dead end?”

“The assassination used military equipment that flowed from your hands. Without a mastermind, the Supervisory Council will surely determine that you colluded with Northern Qi, which is a capital offense!”

Fang Daren said with a bitter expression, “I, Fang, naturally know. It’s death either way; I only ask that my family not be implicated.”

Fan Xian took out his Ti Si badge. As a third-rank military general, Fang Daren naturally knew the weight of a Ti Si.

“So Young Master Fan has this identity; he is on par with the heads of various departments, the first person below the Director.”

Fan Xian made a decisive move, “You tell me the mastermind, and I won’t force you to identify them in court.”

“If the Niulan Street assassination case is ruled as being orchestrated by Northern Qi, as long as you insist the military equipment was stolen, I will guarantee your life.”

He wasn't writing a blank check, because Shadow had said that the Niulan Street case would be presided over by him.

Fang Daren’s eyes began to roll, indicating he was tempted. Who would want to die if there was a way to live?

“Lord Ti Si, you want to seek private revenge, don’t you?”

“But the mastermind is incredibly powerful and will certainly know that I revealed his identity. At that time, I will still be on a dead end.”

Fan Xian sneered, “No, I will make everyone believe that I extracted it from a Northern Qi spy.”

Fang Daren began to hesitate. This path to survival depended on Fan Xian’s trustworthiness.

If he trusted Fan Xian, there was a glimmer of hope. If he didn't trust Fan Xian and was convicted by the Supervisory Council, it was a dead end.

Fang Daren emphasized again, “I will only tell you the name; you investigate the rest yourself.”

“But I will never admit it to anyone, nor will I ever identify him in court.”

Fan Xian suppressed his excitement and guaranteed again, “I guarantee you in the name of the Supervisory Council’s Ti Si!”

Fang Daren lowered his voice to a whisper, “The Second Young Master of the Prime Minister's Residence, Lin Gong.”

Fan Xian had been in the Capital for over a month and naturally knew that Lin Gong was a retainer of the Crown Prince.

Things were indeed as he had guessed: The Eldest Princess and the Crown Prince’s faction wanted to assassinate him!

Upon hearing this news, Fan Xian left the general’s residence without looking back.

After leaving, Zong Zhui asked, “How was it? Is he willing to identify the true culprit?”

Since Fan Xian had promised Fang Daren, he could only keep his secret. “He was probably scared by the opponent’s methods of wiping out entire families and insisted that he didn’t know who stole the military equipment.”

Zong Zhui said, “How about we arrest Fang Daren and torture him severely?!”

Fan Xian sneered, “No matter how severe our torture, it can’t compare to threatening the lives of his entire family. If we push him too hard, he will definitely commit suicide.”

“I want to try to grind Ruo Wei down again. The interrogation time that day was too short; some methods haven’t been used yet.”

Talking, the two continued towards the Supervisory Council.

Upon entering the Supervisory Council, Fan Xian directly conveyed Shadow’s words. The head of the Fourth Bureau, Yan Ruohai, also came forward to testify, and Fan Xian successfully entered the dungeon to interrogate Ruo Wei.

Late at night, Guangxin Palace.

The Female Official knelt before Li Yunrui, her body trembling violently from fear.

“Your Highness, we also didn’t expect to encounter the Shadow Guard, but after the first failure, we dared not send anyone to the general’s residence again.”

Li Yunrui said calmly, “What you did was right.”

“It’s Li Chang'an’s Shadow Guard again. The Niulan Street assassination was also thwarted by the Shadow Guard.”

“My good younger brother, he had better be unintentional… He removed me from the Langya Pavilion Beauty List, and I haven’t settled that score with him yet.”

“I’ll give him one last chance. If he thwarts my plans again, even if it’s unintentional, I will definitely deal with him properly!”

The Female Official quickly said, “After Fan Xian left, there was no large contingent from the Supervisory Council protecting the general’s residence, so it seems Fang Daren didn’t speak out of turn.”

Li Yunrui said confidently, “News from the Supervisory Council indicates that Fan Xian is still interrogating those three Brothel women overnight.”

“Fang Daren likely didn’t speak out of turn. Don’t go to the general’s residence again, lest you be watched.”

The Female Official said uneasily, “Those three Brothel women, I wonder if they ever saw Lin Gong.”

Li Yunrui said indifferently, “Who knows? They might have accidentally seen him. Let’s wait and see.”

Three days later.

Li Chang'an spent a night at a Net stronghold in the Suburbs of the Capital before returning to Prince Yong's Residence.

According to the current Langya List Beauty Ranking, the first is Zhan Pianpian, and the second is Si Lili.

So, after taking Si Lili’s body and mind, Li Chang'an’s romantic ranking directly entered the top hundred.

After the path to Si Lili’s heart was completely opened by Li Chang'an, she confessed everything about herself.

Si Lili’s position in the heart of the Northern Qi Little Emperor was very important. In the original story, Zhan Doudou specifically exchanged Si Lili back to Northern Qi.

Li Chang'an definitely had to go to Northern Qi. For absolute power and romance, the sisters Zhan Doudou and Zhan Pianpian both had to be taken down.

Si Lili could only temporarily hide in the Net stronghold, to be brought back to Northern Qi when the time was ripe, and could even play a game of ‘Infernal Affairs’ with the Northern Qi Little Emperor.

Li Chang'an’s Blue Level Futu progress was very fast, because during the previous cultivation of the Yellow-level Floating Pagoda, his Meridians and flesh had already been reforged, making the current tempering of muscles and skin much easier.

Since cultivating the Yellow-level Floating Pagoda, Li Chang'an had been cultivating almost at full capacity, not daring to be negligent for a moment.

“Jing Ni, how is the Niulan Street assassination case being handled?”

Jing Ni quickly replied, “After Si Lili was abducted, Fan Xian took over the main interrogation rights for this case from Zhu Ge.”

“He has been interrogating the three Brothel women in the Supervisory Council, especially the courtesan Ruo Wei, for more than three hours every day.”

“Fan Xian extracted some information about Northern Qi spies from Ruo Wei and promised to protect her life, not allowing her to be interrogated by others.”

Fan Xian had been performing for the past three days and hadn't truly interrogated.

He already knew the mastermind was Lin Gong, but he wanted to wait and see if Shadow could bring Si Lili back.

If Shadow captured Si Lili, Fan Xian could get a confession from Si Lili without exposing Fang Daren.

If Si Lili truly couldn’t be brought back, he planned to assassinate Lin Gong for revenge!

Li Chang'an said, “This Prince has already protected Fang Daren. Fan Xian should be able to extract Lin Gong’s information from Fang Daren.”

“Continue to keep an eye on Lin Gong, and have the informants in Fan Manor watch closely. Wu Zhu should be returning soon.”

Li Chang'an had already told Jing Ni about Wu Zhu.

“Your Highness, have you already broken through to Blue Level Futu?”

Li Chang'an said, “Almost, it shouldn’t take many more days.”

Jing Ni said, “This subordinate remembers Your Highness saying that once you broke through to Blue Level Futu, you would be able to fight Wu Zhu!”

Li Chang'an felt the surging True Qi within his body, and his skin that could become as hard as iron with a single exercise of his Cultivation Technique, giving him confidence.

“By then, I should not be able to kill him, but he also shouldn’t dream of easily killing me!”

The Muscle is a Cultivation Technique for training the Physical Body and does not interfere with True Qi condensation. Li Chang'an’s True Qi was still the powerful Bei Ming True Energy.

Bei Ming True Energy, fifty times stronger than that of an ordinary Ninth Rank Upper Level Martial Artist, was enough to unleash terrifying speed with the Lingbo Microstep.

Even a Great Grandmaster might not be able to catch Li Chang'an if they wanted to kill him!

Just then, a report came from outside the door.

“Your Highness, Count Sinan has arrived with Fan Xian.”

Li Chang'an was a bit puzzled. Compared to Fan Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe, Fan Jian was a rare visitor, and Fan Xian had never been here.
