Chapter 79: Ch. 37 Part 2

"Master Jun and master Ling, it’s an honor to finally meet you. My son had told me a lot about you this few days." Jinhua’s father started with a conversation as he spoke in a mild tone which was humble yet not very humble and had arrogance in his tone. He who is the direct brother of the current emperor of the dynasty, and was given the title King of Pingxi where he rules, he was of royalty so how could he lower himself for a lowly martial artist. Both doctor Shi and Jinhua were terrified when they heard his dad speak, Yanzhi just glanced at him lightly without saying anything as he continued to drink from his tea cup. Xiao Ling had no absolute care of what was talked about nor did he have interest, Yue just sat respectfully without her master and mistress ordering she would not act. And the elderly man just distanced himself trying to reduce his presence. King Pingxi frowned a bit not receiving any response from both Yanzhi and Xiao Ling, with his status people bow to him and scurry favors with him. What if Yanzhi and his wife were martial arts masters, it wasn’t like they were immortal cultivators who were considered to be Buddhas. From the tales heard from Jinhua, Yanzhi and his wife are both capable masters able to use internal force so he had in mind to try and win them over to his side. But seeing their arrogant selves it made him dissatisfied with them, thinking they were nothing but martial arts masters and they were in the presence of him, a prince born in the dynasty and a King of a land or was it just because of his outstanding martial arts coupled with his great looks which is making YanZhi act arrogant in his presence.

"So master Jun who are the people with you?" King Pingxi put aside his anger and decided to approach from a different angle. But still Yanzhi gave no answer nor did he look bothered.

"Ah! This is Yue, husband’s disciple. And him... well the formal master of the begger’s sect" Xiao Ling was the one to speak. King Pingxi, Jinhua and doctor Shi’s hands stopped in midway whiles holding their tea cups. They were dumbfounded and out of it.

"I have seen King Pingxi, prince Jinhua and doctor Shi. I am called Tan Fan, the former leader of the begger’s sect" the elderly man who was being watched by them introduced in a humble and respectful tone.

"Puff!" three people spit tea out of their mouths at the same time. Cough! Cough! Cough! They started to cough violently.

"Your highnesses!" the servants at present ran to them in worry at once, they patted their backs.

"Oh my...are you three alright?" Xiao Ling asked innocently looking clueless. The three were dumbfounded by his clueless look not knowing whether he was just pretending or really was clueless. Yanzhi and Yue didn’t even bother sparing them a glance. And Tan Fan looked at them with worry, he could literally understand them because he himself even didn’t know exactly what was going on. He heard Yanzhi say he was saved because of a favor but still Tan Fan was confused about many things.

"Before you start asking questions, i have a proposal for you." Yanzhi’s words fell out after the three had stopped coughing, he said to Tan Fan. The three looked with curiosity, they also wanted to know what proposal Yanzhi had for a convict who was supposed to be beheaded by now, but was now sitting with them and drinking tea leisurely, ah!

Tan Fan looked at him waiting for Yanzhi to speak, but Yanzhi was in no hurry at all. He had a lazy aura as he sipped tea slowly. "Hmmm... i have two proposal for you. Enslave your eternity to my family and live a life which has no affliction with the mortal lives. Or forget your meeting with me today and start afresh with your live somewhere which you choose." Yanzhi’s words were simple and clear. Except King Pingxi everyone presented understood the meaning behind his words. Tan Fan looked with complications, which option to choose was a dilemma. All options were good but the best option was what he desired most.

"Your excellency, what do i need to do in enslaving my eternity to you?" he rather asked. Yanzhi didn’t answer but instead took out a box from his space with the ring as an excuse. Jinhua’s father was intrigued and looked greedily. He had heard from Jinhua that Yanzhi had sold a storage ring to doctor Shi before and will later get more for them. But seeing that of Yanzhi he was envious and wanted to have Yanzhi’s. His dark thoughts didn’t escape Yanzhi as all of his thoughts were like open book to YanZhi, the reason Yanzhi ignore all his human desires was because Yanzhi really didn’t care at all.

"That is called abyss essence pill, it’s a poison." Yanzhi said nonchalantly. Tan Fan’s, doctor Shi’s, Jinhua’s and King Pingxi’s eyes widened horrified by Yanzhi’s words. Yanzhi ignored their stunned looks and continued with his words. "You take this and you and I have a contract. Your live and that of your descendants will be loyal to my family for eternity, have no thoughts of betraying me and you’ll be fine living a good life... Abyss essence pill itself is harmless as long as I don’t cause it’s reaction and as long as you have no thoughts of betraying my family you’ll be fine." Yanzhi explained calmly. With his explanation Tan Fan was able to suppress the fear in his heart, he took the pill from the box and cupped his hands.

"Then i choose to follow your excellency." he said and swallowed the pill. The other three people were stunned as well as their servants seeing that Tan Fan really swallowed the abyss essence pill even after he was told that it was poison. But Tan Fan himself didn’t care what they thought, even though Yanzhi didn’t tell what benefits he will get from following him, Tan Fan himself knew that it wouldn’t be just small benefits so why would he hesitate. After all he had nowhere else to go, he lost his sect and his people, they were now under the fifth prince’s control. If it wasn’t for Yanzhi, his head should’ve rolled off his neck hours ago and place on a spike outside the city gates for people to see.

"You chose wisely!" Xiao Ling praised, even not knowing why Yanzhi offered him such a proposal, he wasn’t brothered. He also thought in mind that it would be a waste if a man with so much potential was left to roam the world aimlessly until his death. If that was so then actually Xiao Ling would rather turn Tan Fan into a strong undead soldier. Yanzhi scoffed at Xiao Ling’s words, his little wife was too supportive.

"Your excellency if i may say, elder Tan in the face of the people now is a convict and the emperor ordered for him to be beheaded. Now that your excellency saved him.... things would be hectic for your excellency and us knowing about it, we will be accused of treason..." Jinhua chose his words carefully as he explained, to be honest between the emperor and Yanzhi, both him and doctor Shi feared and respected Yanzhi the most. As for his father, the poor man was sitting dazed and stunned with all his words stuck.

"To the world, he is long beheaded. You need not worry about it" Yanzhi stated facts, he had no intention of explaining himself.

"Could your excellency explain?" doctor Shi asked. But Yanzhi wouldn’t do such thing as explaining himself to them, the thing they’re worried about is being accused of treason and since that wouldn’t happen, Yanzhi find it meaningless to explain himself.

"Instead of that, what i would like to know is how the fifth prince become the new leader of the begger’s sect? If I’m not mistaken, Jianghu and official matters doesn’t get mixed up together?" Yanzhi inquired from Jinhua and Tan Fan.

"His excellency is right. Jianghu world and official matters doesn’t get involved with each other. I also don’t know much about the details since a lot of things happened when I was away from the capital." It was Jinhua who spoke. "I also only got to know about the changes of the ownership of the begger’s gang when i came back with Dafu" he added. Yanzhi kept mute not saying anything.

"Actually it all happened when that immortal cultivator appeared, ever since then things has changed here in the official matters and Jianghu. Cultivators who used to be hard to sight, now flock into the capital." Tan Fan spoke after Jinhua.

"Ahh yes! The new advisor of the emperor!" Jinhua added.

"New advisor?" Xiao Ling cut in asking.

"Was there something like that at first?" Yanzhi also asked.

"No! Never was there! That immortal cultivator suddenly appeared from who knows where and offered to help the emperor attain immortality, since then the emperor listened to his words over the ministers and he became the advisor. Court sections have become a mess now! And the princes fights over the throne has become more bloody now! To be honest most of us ministers believe that the reason why the fifth prince went over the begger’s gang has something to do with immortal Pei."

Jinhua’s father said with resentments and anger.

"Why do you think so?" Yanzhi asked.

"Thats because people saw immortal Pei visit the fifth prince the day before the fifth prince went to subjugate the begger’s gang. Surely immortal Pei pushed him to do so! I know my nephews very well, even though they are ruthless and not good, they wouldn’t do something like that. The fifth prince in the first place never had that in mind. If he did why did he only wait until after immortal Pei appeared, and it wasn’t like he knew immortal Pei before. Because just like the ministers, all the royal family were against immortal Pei at first!"

"I see. So everything that is happening now is due to this immortal Pei." Yanzhi amused stroking his chin.
