Chapter 72 Bai Yiyi's Speculation
Bai Yiyi called him Young Master willingly, and Han Xu was overjoyed when he heard it. ♝♦ ♦♦
The plan to collect all the four most beautiful women is one step closer.
However, the problem came soon.
Bai Yiyi's indenture contract is still in Fengxuan Pavilion, in the hands of Hong Gu. Han Xu has to go and get her indenture contract back, otherwise Bai Yiyi can't walk around freely.
"Yiyi, since you called me Young Master, we will be a family in the future. This Young Master hopes that you can be open and honest with us." Han Xu's voice was very gentle, which made Bai Yiyi's nervous mood relax.
She nodded and said, "Yiyi understands."
Nishang said, "Yiyi, Qing'er and I have already sworn in our hearts to be loyal to the Young Master from now on. You should also swear an oath."
Nishang's mind has always been quick. Since she recognized Han Xu as her Young Master, she will naturally consider everything from Han Xu's perspective.
Even without the constraint of the oath, Han Xu's kindness in bringing her out of Xiaoxiang Pavilion alone was worth her doing anything for Han Xu.
Han Xu waved his hand and said, "Since you called me Master, I naturally believe you, and there is no need for these formalities."
"At the beginning, the two of them acted too fast, and this Master didn't have time to stop them."
However, before Han Xu finished speaking, Bai Yiyi had already raised her hand to swear.
She knew that even if Han Xu was willing to believe her, Qing'er and Nishang would be on guard against her if she didn't swear.
Moreover, Bai Yiyi still had a little intention of secretly competing. Since Qing'er and Nishang could swear, she could naturally do it too.
"Alas, sometimes too much charm is also a kind of trouble." Han Xu sighed in his heart and stopped worrying about the details.
He looked at Bai Yiyi and asked, "Let's talk about Fengxuan Pavilion. Who is the one who supports Fengxuan Pavilion?"
"To be honest, I don't know. It has always been Hong Gu who arranges tasks for us. As for the people above us, we have never seen them."
"Everyone likes to be mysterious." Han Xu thought of Wu Xiuxian and the Pavilion Master Li who was killed by him. They were also strategizing in the dark and never easily revealed their identities.
Bai Yiyi's answer did not surprise Han Xu.
However, Bai Yiyi thought about it, as if she was organizing her words, and then continued: "However, I usually keep a closer eye. From all kinds of clues, I speculate that the owner of Fengxuan Pavilion may be related to your majesty."
"Oh? Why do you have such a guess?" Han Xu became interested as soon as he heard it. He could understand that the prince opened a brothel, but if it was Emperor Wu, it would be a bit incredible, even absurd.
Bai Yiyi also knew how unbelievable her idea sounded, but she still explained without reservation: "I have been in Fengxuan Pavilion for many years. Although I have only been responsible for the task of investigating the young master, I have also learned the content of many tasks from other sisters who are on good terms with me."
"Most of the targets of Fengxuan Pavilion are dignitaries in the court, and there are also a few famous figures in the world, but very few."
"Almost none of those who were found by Fengxuan Pavilion had a good ending. Among them, I know that there are several officials above the fifth rank, and the sisters who investigated them never appeared again afterwards."
Han Xu thought for a while and said: "In this case, it is really possible that what you think is true."
If it is someone else, even if he is a prince, once he finds someone else's handle, he will naturally use it, or threaten, or do something else, in exchange for maximizing his own interests.
There is absolutely no reason to get rid of him directly. Only one person would do such a thing, and that is the Wu Huang who has already controlled everything.
Bai Yiyi said: "However, I guess His Majesty will not do such a thing personally. Fengxuan Pavilion should be managed secretly by His Majesty's confidants."
"That is definitely a terrible person living in the shadows." Han Xu added that he believed that even if Bai Yiyi's speculation was not completely correct, it would not be too far from the truth.
Han Xu was not worried about the rest, but in this way, Bai Yiyi's indenture would not be in trouble.
But even if there was trouble, Han Xu would have to make this trip.
Not long after, Lin Feng came back. He was impatient when doing things. After Han Xu asked him to investigate the venomous snake, he went to the Golden Sword Gate to get information.
Seeing Lin Feng coming, Han Xu thought that Bai Yiyi had not fully recovered, and Qing'er and Nishang had not rested for a day because of this matter, so he let the three of them go down to rest.
"Congratulations, young master." Lin Feng saw this situation and knew that Bai Yiyi had also been taken down by Han Xu.
"Normal operation, don't flatter." Han Xu never felt shameless.
Lin Feng said, "Master, I still have something to say. Although you are at the age of full of vigor and vitality, you should still be restrained in those things."
Han Xu almost spit out a mouthful of tea. Lin Feng's serious and ridiculous look was really infuriating and funny.
Han Xu said, "What are you kidding? Am I that kind of person?"
"Master, I don't mean to interfere in your private life. I just want to kindly remind you for your health." Lin Feng's expression was still very serious, but Han Xu wanted to slap him.
"I don't want to explain to you. Let's talk about business."
"The information of the Viper has been found. The Holy Dao Palace behind him is the largest force in the world. They can be seen in all walks of life. It is rumored that the Palace Master of the Holy Dao Palace is extremely powerful and omnipotent. Each of the twelve Saints under his seat is a top-notch master of the world, and each has his own strengths."
"The underground dynasty of the Dawu Dynasty?"
"You can say that."
"This Viper is a master of poison among the twelve Saints. If his poison is used to the fullest, it can kill the city overnight."
"Master, please pay more attention."
"I will." Han Xu rarely agreed this time. After all, he now has three maids under his command. Although they are maids, they are weak. If something really happens, he will have to take care of them.
Han Xu even prepared himself to be targeted by the Viper, but it doesn't matter to him. Qing'er and the other three will not have any need to resist the Viper if they face it.
The reason why Bai Yiyi is alive is because Han Xu acted in time.
Imagine if Han Xu had acted half an hour later last night, even if the Golden Immortal came, he would not be able to save Bai Yiyi, and even Han Xu himself would be helpless.
After Lin Feng reported everything he had found, Han Xu also had a general understanding of the power of the entire Jianghu, and also understood the strength of the Holy Dao Palace.
"Holy Dao Palace, I hope you don't mess with me." Han Xu muttered a few words and put on his coat.
"Let's go, Uncle Lin, accompany me to Fengxuan Pavilion."
"Master, there are already three at home, isn't that enough?"
"It's a serious matter."
