Chapter 240 Yun Qing

Fang Yue had quietly returned to the carriage. He did not take this matter to heart, but continued to prepare for the next action.

He knew that his main task was to investigate Zhou Tiande's identity and background, and other matters could only be regarded as casual.

As night fell, Fang Yue quietly left his temporary residence and went to Zhou Tiande's mansion to investigate.

He used his stealth skills to easily avoid the patrolling guards in the mansion and sneaked into the mansion quietly.

The mansion was quiet, and no one seemed to be living there.

Fang Yue looked around at the surrounding environment, trying to find some useful clues.

He came to a study room, gently opened the door and walked in.

The study room is filled with bookshelves filled with various books and scrolls.

Fang Yue quickly browsed the contents on the bookshelf, trying to find information about Zhou Tiande.

However, he looked through it for a long time but could not find any useful clues.

Just as Fang Yue was about to leave the study, he suddenly heard a slight noise. He immediately turned around warily, only to find that the window of the study had been opened at some point.

A black shadow flashed in from the window and landed in front of Fang Yue. The man was wearing a black robe and a mask on his face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

"Who are you? Why did you break into my Zhou family's residence at night?" the man in black robe asked coldly.

Fang Yue was shocked, knowing that his whereabouts had been exposed. He quickly calmed down and stared at the man in black robe coldly.

"Who I am is not important. What is important is why you pretended to be Zhou Tiande?" Fang Yue asked.

Because he was attacked by a black robe before, Zhou Tiande must know him, but the man in front of him obviously did not know him.

Therefore, this person should be pretending.

The man in black robe was slightly startled when he heard this, as if he didn't expect Fang Yue to ask such a question. He was silent for a while, then slowly said:

"It seems that you know a lot. But, so what if you know who I am? Since you are here today, don't even think about leaving alive!"

As the man in black robe spoke, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body. He moved and turned into a black shadow and rushed towards Fang Yue.

Fang Yue was prepared earlier, and he dodged the black-robed man's attack. At the same time, a long sword appeared in his hand and he struck back at the man in black robe.

The two of them fought each other instantly, and a fierce fighting sound suddenly sounded in the study.

The man in black robe was very strong and his movements were strange and unpredictable, which made Fang Yue feel a little troublesome.

However, this person is actually a fake, and he is not even a bit worse than the one he met before.

Although the man in black robe is not weak in strength, Fang Yue is not an easy person either.

With his sharp punches and flexible movements, he quickly found the flaw of the man in black robe.

During a confrontation, Fang Yue punched the man in black robe on the shoulder. The man in black robe groaned in pain and took a few steps back.

Fang Yue did not give the man in black robe a chance to breathe. He followed closely and launched another attack.

The man in black robe had been injured, his strength was greatly reduced, and he could no longer compete with Fang Yue.

After a few rounds, the man in black robe was forced into a corner by Fang Yue.

His face was pale under the mask, and there was fear in his eyes. He knew he had no way out.

"Who are you? Why are you pretending to be Zhou Tiande?" Fang Yue asked coldly.

The man in black robe leaned against the wall, his breathing getting heavier and heavier under his mask.

He looked up at Fang Yue, with a trace of unwillingness and anger in his eyes, but more of helplessness and fear.

"I...I don't really want to impersonate Zhou Tiande."

The man in black robe spoke with difficulty, with a hint of bitterness in his voice, "I was just ordered to come here to guard this mansion and prevent anyone from getting close to the truth."

Fang Yue frowned. He didn't completely believe what the man in black robe said, but he could also feel that the man in black robe was not lying.

"Who ordered it? And to protect the truth?" Fang Yue asked.

The man in black robe was silent for a moment, seeming to weigh the pros and cons.

Finally, he took a deep breath and said slowly:

"I don't know who the main messenger is. I just received an order to come here to perform a task. As for the truth... I don't know what it is, but I know that this mansion hides some unknown things. secret."

Fang Yue's heart moved, and he realized that the man in black robe might really not know any more information.

However, from the words of the man in black robe, he could at least be sure of one thing: this mansion was indeed related to Zhou Tiande's identity and background, and there was a deeper secret hidden behind it.

"Since you don't know any more information, there's no point keeping you here." Fang Yue said coldly, raising the sword in his hand again.

The man in black robe was shocked when he saw this, and he quickly shouted: "Wait! Although I don't know the whole truth, I can tell you some things I know!"

Fang Yue made a move, the tip of the sword stopped at the black-robed man's throat, and stared at him coldly: "Speak!"

The man in black robe swallowed and said slowly: "I have heard it mentioned in the order that this mansion is related to an organization called the 'Shadow Society'. This organization is mysterious and powerful. It is said that it controls many A dark secret."

"Shadow Society?"

Fang Yue frowned, "What kind of organization is this? What does it have to do with Zhou Tiande?"

The man in black robe shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific relationship, I just know that this organization is related to the mansion. If you really want to find out the truth, maybe you can start with this organization."

Fang Yue was silent for a moment, with many thoughts in his mind.

He knew that he could not get more information from the black-robed man, and time was running out, so he had to act as soon as possible.

Fang Yue glanced at the black-robed man coldly and warned him: "I will spare your life today, but don't let me meet you again, otherwise I will kill you next time!"

The black-robed man nodded quickly and looked at Fang Yue gratefully.

He knew that he was lucky to be able to save his life.

However, just as he turned around and was about to leave, he felt a pain in the back of his head.

The black-robed man widened his eyes in horror. He tried to look back, but found that his vision had become blurred.

His body fell down weakly, and his consciousness gradually dissipated.

Fang Yue looked at the black-robed man lying on the ground, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

He knew that he could not leave any trouble behind.

This person had seen him, so he could not leave him alive.

After Fang Yue dealt with the black-robed man, he searched the study room carefully again, but still did not find any other useful clues.

He knew that there must be deeper secrets hidden in this mansion, but he had limited time now and could not continue to waste time here.

So Fang Yue decided to leave this mansion temporarily and investigate the identity of the "Shadow Society" and Zhou Tiande from other aspects.

He quietly left the mansion and returned to his temporary residence.

"Shadow Society? Blood Dragon Platform? The water in the Wei Dynasty is really deep!" Fang Yue couldn't help but sigh.

Before, the semi-official organization of Blood Dragon Platform had already stirred up the Wei Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, a Shadow Society emerged again, and a member of this Shadow Society was actually a worshiper of the Wei Dynasty's Worship Office.

This is a bit scary, Fang Yue sat at the table and pondered.

The Worship Office of the Wei Dynasty is the most mysterious and powerful institution in the dynasty. The worshipers are not only powerful, but also key figures in the decision-making level of the dynasty. If any of them collude with the "Shadow Society", the consequences will be disastrous.

He knew nothing about the "Shadow Society" before, but now at least he knows the name, as well as some connection between it, Zhou Tiande and this mansion.

"We must find out the details of the "Shadow Society" as soon as possible." Fang Yue made up his mind.

He knew that the clues he had now were too few to reveal the true face of this mysterious organization. But he also knew that the longer the time dragged, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

Fang Yue decided to take a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, he continued to investigate Zhou Tiande's identity and background in depth, trying to find more clues about the "Shadow Society"; on the other hand, he also wanted to find other people who might know the inside story of the "Shadow Society".

Thinking of this, Fang Yue stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the dark night outside the window.

Originally, he was going to find trouble with Zhou Tiande, but he didn't expect to be trapped in a vortex.

Fang Yue stood by the window, the night wind gently blew his hair and clothes, and his eyes flashed with a determined light.

He knew that he had stepped into a huge vortex, but the other party wanted his life, so he would not surrender.

He took a deep breath, put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and focused on thinking about the next plan.

Or the plan to kill Zhou Tiande!

He was full of doubts and vigilance about the "Shadow Society".

This mysterious organization seemed to be inextricably linked to Zhou Tiande, and Zhou Tiande's identity and background became more and more confusing.

"Forget it, at most, after killing Zhou Tiande, I will immediately return to Yujing City. I don't believe that this Shadow Society dares to cause trouble in Yujing City!"

Fang Yue made up his mind, and a fierce look appeared on his face.

~~~~~~~

There was no conversation all night. The next morning, Fang Yue got up early and began to prepare for the next action.

"This young man, I think you look familiar, very much like an old friend of mine."

Fang Yue was just about to go out when a pleasant voice rang.

Fang Yue was slightly stunned, looked up, and saw a young woman standing not far away, smiling at him.

Fang Yue looked at the young woman in front of him, thinking quickly in his heart. He didn't know this woman, but she said he looked like an old friend, which made him feel a little alert.

"Girl, have we met before?" Fang Yue asked lightly, without showing any emotion.

The woman smiled slightly and shook her head: "No, we haven't met before. It's just that the temperament and appearance of the young man reminded me of a friend I haven't seen for a long time."

"Maybe." Fang Yue replied casually, turning around and preparing to leave.

However, the woman didn't seem to intend to let him go, and walked over quickly to block his way.

"Don't worry, young man, I have no ill intentions." The woman said with a smile, "I just think you are too similar to my friend, so I can't help but want to chat a few more words."

Fang Yue frowned slightly, he didn't like the feeling of being entangled. He looked at the woman coldly, trying to see some clues from her eyes.

However, the woman's eyes were very clear, without any evasion or concealment. This made Fang Yue a little confused, could it be that the other party really just recognized the wrong person?

"Sorry, I really don't know you. Please move aside, I have something to do." Fang Yue said coldly.

The woman did not show any disappointment or anger on her face when she heard this, but smiled even more brightly.

"Since you have something to do, I won't bother you."

The woman smiled and said, "However, if you have time in the future, you may as well come and talk to me. My name is Yunqing, and I live in Yunlai Inn not far away."

After saying that, the woman turned and left, leaving behind a faint fragrance and Fang Yue's face full of doubts.

Fang Yue looked at the woman's back as she left, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.

He didn't believe that there were acquaintances without reason in this world, and he didn't believe that someone would entangle him for no reason.

"Yunqing? Master Yunqing Yun?" Fang Yue pondered slightly, and a message emerged in his mind.

Famous in the world, Master Yunqing is known as the best in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

This woman actually came to Gunzhou Prefecture, could it be that she also came to participate in the Oiran Competition?

Fang Yue's heart moved, and he felt that this matter was getting more and more strange.

Master Yunqing Yun, that is a talented woman who is famous in the world. Her piano skills are so superb that they can be called art, and countless literati and poets are fascinated by her.

If she really came to Gunzhou Prefecture, the excitement of the Oiran Contest would probably be even higher.

But Fang Yue is not a person who is easily confused by superficial phenomena.

He knows that a celebrity like Yun Qing may cause a stir wherever he goes.

She suddenly appeared here and approached him on purpose. There must be some unknown secrets.

"Yun Qing, Yun Qing..." Fang Yue repeated the name, trying to find some clues from it.

Fang Yue repeatedly thought about the name Yun Qing, and a strong curiosity surged in his heart.

Walking on the bustling streets, Fang Yue couldn't help but sigh at the prosperity and hustle and bustle of this city.

As one of the important cities of the Wei Dynasty, Gunzhou Prefecture attracted countless merchants and literati.

And this Oiran Contest made the city even more lively.

Unknowingly, Fang Yue came to Yunlai Inn.

This is an extraordinary building with a tall gate tower that is magnificent and magnificent. There are a lot of cars and people coming and going in front of the gate, which is very lively.

Fang Yue stood in front of the Yunlai Inn and paused for a moment. He didn't come here to find Yun Qing, but since he was already here, he might as well find out about this talented woman.

Walking into the inn, a faint fragrance came to his nose, accompanied by the soft sound of the piano, making people feel peaceful and comfortable.

The lobby of the inn was already full of people, some were drinking tea and discussing, some were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Fang Yue glanced around and found an empty table in the corner, so he walked over and sat down.

"Sir, what do you need?" A waiter came over enthusiastically and asked.

"Bring a pot of good tea."

Fang Yue said casually, and handed over a piece of silver.

The waiter took the silver and showed a bright smile on his face: "Okay, sir, wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

After a while, the waiter came over with a pot of fragrant tea and poured a cup for Fang Yue.

"Sir, please enjoy it slowly." The waiter said respectfully. (End of this chapter)
