Xie Fang's brother-in-law is nad Zhu He.
Actually, from the very beginning, Xie Fang didn't know where Zhu He ca from. He just suddenly appeared in Jinling a few years ago and fell in love with Xie Fang's sister at first sight. But it wasn't long before Xie Fang's sister suddenly died.
However, no one investigated the cause of Xie Fang's sister's death.
Over the years, Xie Fang followed Zhu He and ca to understand Zhu He's character. He was extrely calm, and no matter what the situation, it seed there was nothing he couldn't handle.
Xie Fang rarely saw Zhu He get angry.
Yet on the phone, Xie Fang heard Zhu He's heavy breathing, clearly an effort to suppress his anger.
Xie Fang greatly feared his brother-in-law. Hearing that Zhu He seed angry, his heart jumped into his throat. He spoke cautiously, "Brother-in-law, please talk to . If I did sothing wrong, tell and I will correct it imdiately."
Zhu He finally spoke, his tone emotionless, "Is that thing in the water alright?"
"It's fine. It escaped back into the water," Xie Fang quickly said.
Zhu He was silent for a mont. "Xie Fang, you've been curious about that coffin for a long ti, right? Since you've seen that thing, I might as well tell you now that I raised it. It was cultivated from the coffin we dug up five years ago."
"Ah? Brother-in-law, you..." Although Xie Fang had long suspected, hearing it from Zhu He's own mouth still left him in disbelief. He began to tremble.
Zhu He didn't want to listen to Xie Fang's nonsense and cut straight to the point, "Xie Fang, if you want to live, from now on, don't let anyone approach the artificial lake. If those filthy Taoists ddle again, I'll hold you responsible. As for Ye Guichen, you don't need to worry about him. If he wants to interfere, I'll take care of him myself. Do you understand?"
Xie Fang shivered, repeatedly nodding, "Brother-in-law, I understand. I understand. From now on, I'll guard the Phoenix Pavilion myself. I'll find a way to deal with those Taoists."
"Good. Don't disappoint again," Zhu He's voice was so cold it seeped through the phone and penetrated Xie Fang's ears, "If anything happens to that thing in the water, you might as well die too."
Having said that, Zhu He hung up the phone without another word.
Xie Fang listened to the dial tone and felt cold sweat trickle down his back.
He wiped his forehead, which was covered in sweat.
Xie Fang wasn't stupid. Over the years, he had done many shady things with Zhu He and seen Zhu He's extraordinary thods. His background must be complicated.
Today, hearing Zhu He admit he raised that thing in the water solved many of Xie Fang's doubts.
No wonder anyone who opposed Zhu He either ended up dead or mysteriously disappeared over the years.
It seems those who disappeared are likely dead too.
After all, soone who could raise such a terrifying thing in the water was no ordinary person.
"Ma Xiaohu, Ma Xiaohu." Shaking his head vigorously to clear his chaotic thoughts, Xie Fang ran, calling out. He quickly found Ma Xiaohu and directly instructed, "From now on, your Security Departnt will guard the artificial lake around the clock. Don't let anyone approach. If any Taoists co under the guise of exorcism, use any thod necessary to drive them away. Understand?"
Ma Xiaohu didn't see what happened by the artificial lake, but seeing Xie Fang so serious, he nodded quickly, "Understood, Manager Xie, don't worry."
Phoenix Pavilion No. 1.
Half an hour later, the door opened.
"Mr. Ye, how is Changhe?" Zhang Chongchen asked impatiently.
Ye Guichen smiled faintly, "He's fine now. The poison in him has been completely removed, but since it spread quickly, he's still unconscious even though he's out of danger."
Zhang Chongchen heaved a sigh of relief, "It's good that he's okay. It's good that he's okay."
Ye Guichen glanced at Gongsun Fengying, "Captain Gongsun, please take care of Daoist Zhang Changhe."
Then he looked at Zhang Chongchen, "Daoist Zhang, can we talk privately?"
Zhang Chongchen had wanted to talk to Ye Guichen for a while. He quickly nodded and asked Gongsun Fengying to call in Zhong Qing to look after Zhang Changhe, while he led Ye Guichen to the living room.
"Mr. Ye, thank you!" Once in the living room, Zhang Chongchen's face turned solemn as he tried to bow to Ye Guichen, but Ye Guichen held him up.
Zhang Chongchen felt like his body was bound by a great force. He couldn't bend down even a bit, and while shocked by Ye Guichen's strength, his curiosity about Ye Guichen grew.
Ye Guichen steadied Zhang Chongchen, "Daoist Zhang, I have so ties with the Heavenly Master Tao. You don't need to stand on ceremony. Please, have a seat."
As he spoke, he poured Zhang Chongchen a cup of water and sat on the sofa.
Zhang Chongchen nodded gently, then after sitting down, he looked at Ye Guichen, "Mr. Ye, I'm a straightforward person. I'll always say what's on my mind. Today, you've done us at the Heavenly Master Tao a great favor. I will rember this kindness."
Looking around the villa, he continued, "It's clear from your residence that you aren't lacking in money. I'm just a poor Taoist and have no money to thank you. So, if you need any help, just ask. As long as I, Zhang Chongchen, can do it, I will not even frown."
Ye Guichen smiled, "Daoist Zhang, you're too kind. I just happened to be here. It was just a small effort. If you keep being so formal, I won't be able to chat with you further."
"Um..." Zhang Chongchen didn't expect such generosity. He felt even more moved. "Alright, since Mr. Ye insists, I won't be pretentious. However, I have a question that I've been puzzled about. Could Mr. Ye clarify it?"
Ye Guichen nodded, "Of course."
"Mr. Ye, are you also from the Taoist path?" Zhang Chongchen couldn't stop thinking about this question since he saw Ye Guichen use talismans.
Ye Guichen could guess Zhang Chongchen's doubt. Smiling, he shook his head, "No, I just happened to get a talisman book. I draw talismans when I'm free. My little skill is certainly not comparable to yours. Today, I stepped in as a last resort. I apologize for any offense caused."
Zhang Chongchen opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "Mr. Ye, you are self-taught?"
Ye Guichen laughed, "Yes."
Zhang Chongchen was shocked, "Mr. Ye, your self-taught skills have reached such a level! I don't know what to say! You are truly a talisman genius. The evil-expelling talisman you used today would take at least five or six years of practice to master. Haha, if you don't mind, Mr. Ye, if you study Taoist arts, you would beco one of the most promising young talents in the Taoist community. Are you interested?"
