Chapter 1409 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
She hadn't thought of this before, but today when Xu Shan mentioned repaying a favor, she suddenly had this idea. She didn't think it was for no reason; her intuition was always quite sharp.
Sure enough, these twelve golden phoenix fans contained a hidden secret.
"What's wrong?" Xu Shan asked.
Azhen said, "There should be something hidden inside the fan, but we don't know what it is yet."
Whether it's related to the questionnaire or not, Azhen really can't be sure.
Many ancestors loved to hide things, and who knows whose secrets they might be hiding? This Twelve Golden Phoenix Fan is just one of the weapons left by the Xu family ancestors, and there were no special hints about it. It's likely that they didn't know that it contained any hidden secrets.
Xu Shan was somewhat surprised: "In that case, wouldn't we have to choose another weapon? Hiding it in the sword would only allow us to take out the weapon by destroying the fan."
"Let's see what's inside first," Azhen said. "If we can't find a suitable weapon, taking out the items inside and repairing them is quite simple for me. I can even refine the Twelve Golden Phoenix Fan again."
"Alright." Xu Shan remembered his daughter's abilities and immediately stopped worrying about that. Instead, he was more curious about the secret hidden in the Twelve Golden Phoenix Fans.
He chuckled and said, "Could it be some kind of treasure?"
"It shouldn't be information from Tianwenjuan, right?"
After all, the Xu family ancestor who left behind the treasure lived more than a thousand years ago.
Since Azhen didn't answer, there's no way to be sure; we'll only know once it's taken out.
A moment later, Azhen took out the thin gold sheet hidden inside the fan. The gold sheet had writing and a map on it.
There are also a few very eye-catching words: "Questionnaire Seven".
Xu Shan: ...
A-Zhou was surprised.
I never expected that this Twelve Golden Phoenix Fan would actually contain information about the Heavenly Questionnaire.
In that case, she became curious about what happened in the client's previous life after her consciousness was completely withdrawn from this world.
Did the person who discovered the Heaven-Asking Blade and seized the Valley of Forgetfulness find the Twelve Golden Phoenix Fan and thus uncover its secrets?
Given their obsession with the Heavenly Questionnaire, upon seeing so many weapons, their first instinct wouldn't be to admire them, but rather to find out if there was any information about the Heavenly Questionnaire inside.
Therefore, A-Zhuang tends to believe that the person must have found one of the gold pieces of the Heavenly Questionnaire from here.
Now that the first part of the Heavenly Questionnaire is in their hands, as long as they keep quiet, those mysterious organizations behind the scenes will probably never be able to find the treasure in the Heavenly Questionnaire.
In that case, the martial arts world will probably not calm down, and there will be no excitement to watch.
"Father, what should we do?" Azhen asked.
Xu Shan's eyes held only curiosity, not greed, and even a hint of helplessness. If you think about it this way, the Heavenly Questioning Blade really does have some connection with the Heavenly Questioning Quest.
Thinking of this, he was both amused and exasperated.
Many people might think that questionnaires are a good thing, but he doesn't think so; instead, he sees them as a nuisance.
"Does Father want to destroy it?" A-Zhen saw through Xu Shan's thoughts. "But even if it is destroyed, the martial world will not be at peace. As long as the complete Heavenly Questionnaire is not put together, those people will never be satisfied and will continue to search, making the entire martial world restless."
“But we can’t just stuff it back in,” Xu Shan said. Wouldn’t that cause trouble for Brother Yan?
A-Zhan knew what Xu Shan was thinking, but she just smiled. Of course, she couldn't possibly stuff the gold piece inside. "But we can stuff it into some other unrelated weapon, and then throw this weapon into the martial world and let them steal it," A-Zhan suggested.
Xu Shan didn't hesitate much and thought this method was quite good: "That will work too."
He hoped that the mysterious organization would soon be able to collect all the Heavenly Questions, so that people in the martial arts world could go out with peace of mind, without worrying about their favorite weapons being stolen or even losing their lives.
"So it's settled then?" A-Zhou asked.
Xu Shan nodded again. Seeing that Azhen was already repairing the Twelve Golden Phoenix Fans, he went to the armory to find suitable weapons and gold pieces for the Heavenly Question.
Three days later, Azhen and Xu Shan left the Valley of Forgetfulness.
On the carriage, Xu Shan was somewhat troubled: "How can we get this weapon, which holds a secret, into the sight of those people? The premise is that they absolutely cannot discover that this weapon is related to us."
Azhen rested her chin on her hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "Actually, we can choose a more forceful method, using internal energy to manipulate the weapon and make it appear out of thin air. That will definitely attract attention."
Xu Shan was stunned; this method was indeed quite crude.
“Father, leave this to me, I’ll do it,” Azhen said. “We’ll use this method when we get to a bigger place. Let’s choose the city closest to the Yan family. That way, we’ll attract everyone’s attention, and there will be fewer troublemakers at the Yan family’s place. Uncle Yan can have a peaceful birthday.”
"Will it really make you feel at ease?" 997 suddenly asked.
It was just a casual remark, and A-Zhuang didn't pay much attention to it.
Under normal circumstances, it should be quite comfortable, right?
Seven days later, the father and daughter arrived at their destination. Taking advantage of a moment when no one was paying attention, Azhen manipulated a sword and shot out into the air, immediately attracting the attention of countless people. Those who knew light-footed kung fu instinctively chased after her.
Azhen and Xu Shan also joined in the fun and chased after her, since she still needed to control the sword to a certain place.
She had also noticed that there should be people from a mysterious organization in this city, and they would definitely not miss a sword that seemed to fly out of thin air.
In situations like this, the members of the mysterious organization will simply grab what they need and run, without causing any unnecessary complications.
Eventually, the sword fell into the lake, and countless people went into the water to retrieve it.
Xu Shan stood by the lake, looking at those people who weren't afraid of the cold water at all, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Father, let's go." Azhen spoke up. She wasn't interested in who had retrieved the sword; it would inevitably be taken away by the mysterious organization in the end, perhaps even the moment it was retrieved.
In such a situation, someone who values their life would never jump.
So, whatever happened, it was their own fault.
After another day of travel, they were able to travel at a slower pace because they had plenty of time. Ah Zhen and Xu Shan finally arrived at the Yan family's residence.
"Uncle Yan's birthday is in a few days, why isn't he home?" Azhen asked in surprise.
Shen Miao shook her head: "It seems there was some business trouble. He left last night, and I don't know how things are going. I hope nothing's wrong. The birthday invitations have already been sent out. It would be a laughing stock if he couldn't make it back."
“Since it’s a business matter, then it’s a serious matter. Even if you can’t make it in time, our friends in the martial arts world will understand. We’ll still treat you to good food and wine, and no one will say anything,” Xu Shan reassured him.
Shen Miao said, "We definitely won't neglect this. Whether he comes back or not, the banquet will definitely be held as scheduled." (End of this chapter)
