Chapter 292

The second reward was a person-finding compass; as long as one silently recited the name of the person they wanted to find, they could rely on the compass to find them.

The third reward was the Four Symbols Sun-Shooting Arrow Technique; now the set was complete.

Afterward, Lin Fan fell asleep contentedly while holding Yue Lingshan's profound truths.

Early the next morning, Yue Lingshan woke up and found that Lin Fan was still holding her profound truths, so she secretly closed her eyes again.

Lin Fan also slowly opened his eyes and then squeezed her profound truths, so Yue Lingshan couldn't keep up the act anymore and got up with a flushed face to serve Lin Fan as he dressed.

Afterward, the two walked out of the room and came to the main hall, where the women had already prepared breakfast and were waiting there.

"Yo, your face is flushed red so early in the morning. Did you do something bad just now?"

Seeing Yue Lingshan's flushed face, Huang Rong couldn't help but tease her.

"Ahem, let's just eat breakfast."

Seeing that Yue Lingshan was being teased by Huang Rong to the point of embarrassment, Lin Fan spoke up to change the subject for her.

Huang Rong stopped bullying the easily shy Yue Lingshan, and then Lin Fan and the women began to eat breakfast.

After eating, Lin Fan took the women outside the manor.

"Brother Fan, why did you bring us all out?"

Huang Rong asked with some curiosity.

"That's right, Husband. Are you planning to take us all out? There are too many people, and it's not convenient to travel!"

Yang Yan also didn't know what Lin Fan was planning to do.

"The next moment is the moment to witness a miracle."

As Lin Fan said this, he began the upgrade of the small world. The entire small world shook slightly and then expanded rapidly, while the manor quietly turned into a palace.

"Alright, now who is coming out with me?"

"Alright, it seems I have to be alone today."

After the small world upgrade was completed, Lin Fan prepared to ask the women who would go out with him today.

But the women had already happily run to the palace to check the situation, so Lin Fan could only leave the small world alone.

Lin Fan, who had left the small world, appeared in the room at the inn, and then he opened the door and walked out.

"Young Master Lin is awake? Mengyao was just about to call you!"

Qin Mengyao was standing outside Lin Fan's door at this moment, and she couldn't help but smile when she saw Lin Fan walk out.

At this moment, she had already removed her veil and changed into a light pink dress, smiling beautifully and looking radiant.

"Oh? Has Mengyao had breakfast? Also, you don't have to call me Young Master Lin. You can call me Lin Fan, or Husband!"

Lin Fan teased this contemporary successor of Cihang Jingzhai.

"Then I will call you Lin Fan. As for Husband, let's talk about that later."

Qin Mengyao was not angry, but she did not agree to call Lin Fan Husband.

Lin Fan nodded, then went downstairs with Qin Mengyao to drink morning tea.

"Master, why didn't you call me when you got up?"

After a while, Princess Yunluo ran down in a rush and looked at Lin Fan with resentment.

"I am not your master. Aren't you going to learn martial arts from Mo Chou? And you are a young lady; how could I go and knock on your door early in the morning?"

Lin Fan drank a cup of tea calmly and then explained.

"Ah, what about Sister Mo Chou and the others?"

"They have things to do. You'll know later!"

Lin Fan said with a smile.

"But..."

"Lin Fan, something happened!"

Princess Yunluo was about to say more, but Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou ran over and interrupted her.

"Don't be anxious, drink some tea first. The sky won't fall, and even if it does, the tall ones will hold it up. What are you afraid of!"

"Oh my, you still have the heart to joke. I'm telling you, something really big happened!"

"Then tell me, I'm listening. Did the Jin troops invade, or did the Mongols invade?"

Lin Fan saw that Lu Xiaofeng was indeed anxious, so he stopped teasing him.

"Neither. It's that Zhao Gou was captured, and the other party even released word demanding that you go save him!"

Lu Xiaofeng said anxiously.

"Say that again! Zhao Gou was captured, and you want me to save him? On what grounds? It seems like you have a serious illness in your brain!"

Lin Fan suspected that either he had misheard or Lu Xiaofeng had said it wrong. What did Zhao Gou being captured have to do with him?

"It's not what I said; it's what the person who captured him said."

Lu Xiaofeng said helplessly.

"The one who captured him is the Little Demon Master Fang Yeyu. You killed Li Chimei and caused trouble; the people from the Demon Master Palace have come to your door."

"Oh."

Lin Fan nodded thoughtfully.

"Are you not going to keep the appointment?"

"Whose appointment?"

"Little Demon Master Fang Yeyu's!"

"When did I agree? This is entirely his own wishful thinking, okay!"

Lin Fan was helpless. If I go just because someone calls me, I'd lose so much face.

"But Zhao Gou is still in his hands."

"None of my business. Not killing him is already a huge favor. You don't still want me to go save him, do you?"

"Even if you don't save Zhao Gou, if someone invites you and you don't go, you'll lose face, right? In the future, the Jianghu will spread rumors that you were afraid of Fang Yeyu."

"When I meet Fang Yeyu, I'll slaughter him. Then the people in the Jianghu will change their tune; they will say that I previously disdained to haggle with Fang Yeyu and magnanimously let him go. Lu Xiaofeng, you know much more about these twists and turns in the Jianghu than I do; why can't you see through it? It's just a false reputation, don't take it to heart!"

Lin Fan didn't care at all; the one who laughs last is the winner.

"By the way, what about Huang Shang? With him there, Zhao Gou shouldn't have been captured, right?"

"Huang Shang was seriously injured by Chi Zunxin, and he also entrusted someone to send me a message, asking me to invite you to help rescue Zhao Gou. After all, if Zhao Gou dies, the entire Southern Song will be in ruins."

"I have no interest in rescuing Zhao Gou, but I can offer an idea to solve the Southern Song's predicament."

"Really?"

"Naturally. Let him forget about that waste Zhao Gou, support Zhao Zhen in ascending the throne, and then re-employ Yue Fei and entrust him with important tasks. That way, the Southern Song can be stabilized."

Lin Fan said eloquently.

Zhao Ji's two emperor sons were both wastes; one was Emperor Qinzong Zhao Huan, who sat in prison with him, and the other was Emperor Gaozong Zhao Gou.

But he also had two good sons, one civil and one martial. The civil one was Zhao Ji's fifth son, Zhao Shu, and the martial one was Zhao Ji's eighteenth son, Zhao Zhen. Neither of them was very famous, but their abilities were not bad at all.

Now the Southern Song is in ruins and needs a strong emperor to revitalize the country, so Zhao Zhen is more suitable.

"Alright, I'll notify him now, but whether he listens or not, I don't know!"

Lu Xiaofeng knew that it was impossible for Lin Fan to go save Zhao Gou, so he planned to tell Huang Shang about Lin Fan's proposal and see what choice Huang Shang would make.
