Chapter 520: 294 Headshot

Before long, Fang Zhixing silently walked out of the County, entering the outskirts.

But he suddenly stopped, slowly turned around, and looked expectantly.

After a short while, in the serene woods, a strong and robust Bai Niu leisurely approached, seemingly slow but actually fast.

Atop the Bai Niu was a blindfolded woman.

This scene...

"Sky Observation Department, Ye Zixuan!"

A slight arc formed on Fang Zhixing’s lips involuntarily.

Ye Zixuan jumped down from the Bai Niu, and with a faint salute said, "Fang Zhixing, we meet again."

Fang Zhixing replied, "In this vast sea of people, how did Officer Ye manage to find me?"

A faint smile appeared on Ye Zixuan’s face as she decisively answered, "In this world, there is no one that my Sky Observation Department cannot find."

"..."

Fang Zhixing was somewhat at a loss for words.

Although Ye Zixuan’s words were incredibly arrogant, she had indeed found him effortlessly.

The Sky Observation Department was not simple; they certainly had their ways.

With composure, Fang Zhixing, with his hands clasped behind his back, said, "Officer Ye seeks me, do you have any instructions?"

The smile on Ye Zixuan’s face faded, and her tone grew more serious as she asked, "You killed Lu Xiangxiong and Wu Yuanbing, didn’t you?"

Fang Zhixing nodded.

Ye Zixuan continued, "Using Shen Ruxun to trap and attack the Prince’s Chief Steward Qiu Wuliang, that was also your doing?"

Fang Zhixing nodded again.

Seeing this, Ye Zixuan sighed and said earnestly, "By yourself, you have not only enraged the Lu Family but have also irritated the Crown Prince."

Fang Zhixing chuckled quietly and said in a low voice, "The way you put it... On the other hand, it should be the Lu Family and the Crown Prince who have irritated me."

Ye Zixuan let out two chuckles and said indifferently, "Have you always been so egotistical, or are you truly fearless?"

Fang Zhixing spread his hands and said, "It might be both, but I have always managed to live well, while those who irritate me don’t end up so well."

Ye Zixuan sighed and said, "The Crown Prince and the Lu Family have dispatched experts who are currently searching for you. I could find you, and so will they, it is just a matter of time.

I came to find you originally to give you a heads up, to advise you to leave Dan State soon, but it seems unnecessary now."

Fang Zhixing raised an eyebrow and said, "Thanks for your kindness, Officer Ye, but why would you warn me? Could it be that you have some enmity with the Crown Prince or the Lu Family?"

Ye Zixuan said in a lukewarm tone, "I have my reasons, of course."

Fang Zhixing chuckled and said slowly, "I heard that the Buddhist faction has aggressively established itself in Dan State, and it was during this period that the Prince decisively decided to expel me from Dan State. Now you also wish for me to leave Dan State soon; could it be that your target is not me, but the Buddhist faction?"

Ye Zixuan’s breath hitched for a moment, then she replied, "With the Emperor’s support, the Buddhist faction has quickly expanded, continuously suppressing the Aristocratic Families, and gradually cornered them.

If this continues, the world will eventually fall into chaos.

And my Sky Observation Department does not wish to see such an outcome.

You, acting recklessly in Dan State, intentionally or unintentionally, have held back the Crown Prince and the Lu Family, which certainly is not good news for the Prince."

Fang Zhixing understood.

It seemed that the rapid rise of the Buddhist faction not only impinged on the interests of the Aristocratic Families but also made the Sky Observation Department uneasy.

Thus, the two joined hands to deal with the Buddhist faction.

And Fang Zhixing, just happened to lend the Buddhist faction one assist after another.

"Qingliang Temple invited me to their relocation banquet last time, probably to recruit me."

Fang Zhixing sighed softly.

As someone from Jianghu, he was isolated from high-level news and had at one point suspected that the Buddhist faction had set up a trap for him.

This was clearly a misjudgement.

However, he had no intention of getting tangled in the whirlpool of power struggles.

Even if he attended the relocation banquet, he certainly wouldn’t side with the Buddhist faction.

Fang Zhixing nodded and said with a sigh, "I had no intention of meddling. If the Crown Prince ceases to harass Jun Yao, I can forgive and forget. If the Lu Family stops pursuing me, I can also let bygones be bygones."

With those words!

Ye Zixuan was so frustrated she couldn’t breathe, shaking her head in utter disbelief, she said coldly, "You still have time to run away. I have said my piece."

With that, she mounted the Bai Niu.

"Moo~"

The Bai Niu bellowed once, turned around, and quickly became a dot disappearing into the distance.

"Sigh, more experts are coming to kill me..."

Fang Zhixing took a deep breath, feeling a sense of urgency.

He hoped Fan Qiulai would hurry up!

Two days flashed by...

After many calls and much anticipation, the trade deal was finally settled.

Fang Zhixing once again arrived at Xiang Feng Lou.

"Brother Zhang, it’s great news!"

Fan Qiulai, unable to contain his joy, laughed heartily, "Your Intelligence Crystal has been traded, guess what amazing things we got in exchange?"

Fang Zhixing urged, "Brother, don’t keep me in suspense, tell me."

Fan Qiulai replied, "Apart from the Black Jade Lotus and Soul Resurrection Grass, the buyer also added two pieces of ’Fire Vermilion Bird’."

Fang Zhixing’s eyebrows lifted; no wonder Fan Qiulai was so happy.

The "Fire Vermilion Bird" was a Fifth Level Fire Attribute treasure, extremely rare and hard to come by.

The buyer was truly generous, adding two pieces of "Fire Vermilion Bird" just to secure the Intelligence Crystal. Impressive!

Fang Zhixing couldn’t help but be overjoyed and said, "Brother, this deal was so well done, all thanks to you. How about this, one piece of the Fire Vermilion Bird for each of us, what do you say?"

"Out of the question!"

Fan Qiulai repeatedly waved his hands, "It was just a small effort, given our relationship, how could I accept a fee from you?"

Fang Zhixing insisted, "It’s only right, without you working tirelessly, how could we have concluded this deal so quickly?"

Seeing this, Fan Qiulai laughed and said, "In that case, I am in great need of Fire Attribute treasures, why don’t you sell both pieces of ’Fire Vermilion Bird’ to me, what do you think?"
