Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Three days later at night, at the entrance of Lianxing Mountain east of Yaoye City.

Gu Chan and the ghost bat beast stood in front of the path leading into the mountain, looking at the dark mountain road ahead without saying a word.

The guard stood behind and said, "You two, I can only take you here. I have to go back and report to the city lord. I hope you succeed in the assassination and return safely."

After saying this, the guard drove away quickly in the carriage.

Gu Chan looked back at the speeding carriage and said unhappily, "Damn! It's running pretty fast. It seems like they really don't want to have anything to do with the assassination of King Fan!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get into the mountains quickly." The ghost bat beast urged.

Gu Chan pretended to climb onto its back.

The Ghostbatmon quickly stopped her and said, "Are you sick? Why are you crawling on me?"

"Can't you fly? Of course you take me in by flying! Do you want me to walk in?" Gu Chan asked.

"How you get in is none of my business. I'll wait for you on the top of the mountain, and you figure out a way to get up yourself." The ghost bat beast sneered.

Then it leaped into the air, flapped its huge wings and flew into the woods, and soon disappeared.

Gu Chan said angrily with a gloomy face, "You stinky bat, you are deliberately making things difficult for me, right? Fine, just wait and see how I deal with you."

After saying that, Gu Chan held her breath, cursed inwardly, and walked towards the entrance of the mountain road.

Lianxing Mountain is really very high. Gu Chan suffered a lot on the way up. It was not until the next morning, when it was already bright, that she finally climbed to the halfway point of the mountain. She was so tired that she was out of breath.

With no other options left, she could only find a safe place, spread some hay, lie down and take a nap.

But what she didn't expect was that when she woke up and opened her eyes, she found two powerful guards standing on her left and right, staring at her with sinister smiles.

Gu Chan was so scared that she stood up in a hurry, stared at the two people and said, "What do you want to do?"

"Lord Gu, we should be the ones asking you this question. What are you doing here?"

"Yes! Shouldn't you be staying in the City Lord's Mansion of Yaoye City?"

The two guards sneered in succession.

Gu Chan grinned awkwardly and said, "Well, I said I came here for tourism, do you believe me?"

"You think we are fools! Aren't you here to kill our prince on Ye Tianyang's orders?" the guard said coldly.

"Haha...you guessed it all. You are really smart!" Gu Chan said with a grin.

"Let's go! Our prince wants to see you. Just follow us up the mountain and don't force us to take action!" said the guard.

When Gu Chan saw that the two men had no intention of attacking her, she instantly relaxed and said with a long sigh, "Why didn't you say so earlier! I thought you were going to attack me!"

"Please come in, Lord Gu." The guard waved his hand and invited.

Gu Chan didn't say anything and immediately followed them up the mountain.

As they walked, she asked, "By the way, how did you find me? I was hiding so well."

"We have spies everywhere in this mountain. We had already spotted you when the City Lord's carriage took you to the entrance of the mountain last night, and we have been secretly sending people to keep an eye on you." The guard explained.

Gu Chan couldn't help but smack her lips.

You know, she is a sixth-level physical expert! But last night she was followed all the way up the mountain, but she didn't notice it at all. That proves that the person who followed her must be stronger than her, otherwise she would not have been able to detect it.

This directly illustrates one point, that is, the guards under King Fan are probably all very powerful, and it is simply impossible for her to assassinate King Fan easily.

After thinking this through, Gu Chan started to become cautious. He thought that since his whereabouts had been exposed now, he might as well just give in and talk about it after meeting King Fan. At worst, if the assassination failed, he could just run away and go back to slowly think of ways to raise food for disaster relief elsewhere.

With this thought in mind, Gu Chan calmed down and silently followed the two guards towards the top of the mountain.

After dark, the three finally arrived outside the temple on the top of the mountain.

It was then that Gu Chan discovered that the temple on the top of Lianxing Mountain was not small. It was actually half the size of the City Lord's Mansion, and there was also a nine-story pagoda inside. The entire temple was bustling with incense and was not a deserted and lonely place at all.

After the two guards led Gu Chan into the temple, they took her directly to the huge Buddhist hall on the bottom floor of the pagoda.

Gu Chan looked around and found that there were a total of eighteen Buddha statues standing around the temple. They were quite similar to the Eighteen Arhats in modern times, but she was sure that these were not the Eighteen Arhats, but the ten Buddha statues of this world.

In the center of the Buddhist hall, a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand and chanting with his eyes closed.

He was dressed in a noble yellow robe, with a bun on his head. He had a square face that looked very heroic and exuded an aura of dignity without anger at all times, which was enough to prove that he was no ordinary person.

And he was none other than the seventh brother of the current emperor of Yexing Kingdom, also known as Prince Fan, Qixing Fan.

The three of them came to Qi Xingfan's side, and the guard reported, "Your Majesty, the person has been brought here."

"You go guard outside the door. No one is allowed to enter without my order." Qi Xingfan waved his hand and ordered.

The two guards responded in unison and immediately went to guard the door, one on the left and one on the right.

Qi Xingfan made a gesture of invitation to Gu Chan, "Lord Gu, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Prince Fan." Gu Chan politely clasped her fists in thanks, then sat down on the futon opposite him.

As soon as she sat down, Qi Xingfan opened his eyes and stared at her.

Gu Chan felt uncomfortable when he looked at her, but it was this look in his eyes that made her understand that this person was definitely not simple. If they really had to make a comparison, Ye Tianyang was definitely not as good as him.

After looking at Gu Chan for a while, Qi Xingfan said with emotion, "It is true that heroes emerge from youth! I never thought that the new lord of Jiangnan of Tiancang Country would be a young kid like you. You are indeed worthy of my attention."

"Prince Fan is not a simple person either. Just based on your current courage and calmness, I can see that Ye Tianyang is definitely not on the same level as you." Gu Chan said frankly.

"Ha ha……"

Qixing Fanle chuckled softly.

Obviously, no one doesn't like to hear good words. Even a prince of a country will not be too resistant to other people's compliments.

Gu Chan said seriously, "Prince Fan, please don't laugh! I'm not trying to flatter you. I'm telling you the truth. Before I met you, I thought you were a greasy middle-aged uncle. But after I met you, I realized that I was wrong."

"Then do you still want to kill me?" Qi Xingfan suddenly asked.

Gu Chan's face froze, her brows furrowed, and she was suddenly choked speechless.
