It's normal that Chen Fan couldn't completely understand this Clear Heart Manual.
"It's not that there's something I don't understand, it's that I don't understand anything!"
Chen Fan sighed helplessly. He truly admired those senior transmigrants now.
They could cultivate just by getting a book, and even improve upon it.
They would often surpass their ancestors and exceed the original author's limits.
"Hahaha, with you like this, you still want to cultivate immortality and seek the Tao!"
From behind Zhang Tianshou, Zhang Tianyu suddenly leaped out, mocking Chen Fan.
Zhang Tianshou smacked Zhang Tianyu's head irritably and reprimanded her.
"Little sister, you must not be disrespectful to Mister!"
"Hmph, you called him Ah Fan before, and now he's Mister?
Nyah nyah nyah, here, I'm not playing with you anymore!"
Seeing Zhang Tianshou raise her hand as if to strike, Zhang Tianyu suddenly jumped back.
Zhang Tianyu made a face at Zhang Tianshou and took out a mini Bagua mirror from her embrace.
She tossed the Bagua mirror into Zhang Tianshou's arms, turned around, and vanished.
"Ah Fan, please don't mind her, Tianyu she..."
"It's alright, this girl is like a child who hasn't grown up, I won't hold it against her!"
Chen Fan smiled and shook his head. Was he the type of person to hold grudges?
At most, during mealtime, he'd put the dishes Zhang Tianyu liked to eat next to Zhang Tianxian.
"Ah Fan, I'm glad you understand. This item is the Yuhua Bagua Mirror.
It has the ability to conceal heavenly secrets and mask one's aura, and it can also automatically protect its owner.
There are many demons coming and going in Zhao Family Village now, so we must be vigilant!"
Saying this, Zhang Tianshou handed the Bagua mirror to Chen Fan.
Chen Fan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he accepted the Yuhua Bagua Mirror without politeness.
"Then I thank you for your concern, Tianshou. I needed this item.
It's just that I don't have anything good to give you in return. If I find something good in the future, I'll return one to you!"
Chen Fan took out a red jade token from his embrace and threaded the Bagua mirror onto it.
Zhang Tianshou's cheeks immediately flushed. She recognized that the jade token was the nameplate she had given Chen Fan.
The moment Chen Fan put on the Bagua mirror.
A phantom image of a treasure mirror appeared above Chen Fan's head, emitting a faint clear light.
Eight complex azure runes flickered.
The purple-gold pillar of destiny above Chen Fan's head slowly disappeared.
Only a mass of earthy-yellow destiny clouds remained, shrouding Chen Fan's head.
A large pot, a contract, and a Qu Yuan Plow emitted a golden halo.
The next moment, they all sank beneath the Bagua mirror and disappeared along with it.
"Phew, this should be enough for Ah Fan to get through the early stages.
When Ah Fan has gone far on the path of the Sages in the future, no one will be able to use the method of 'substituting a peach for a plum'!"
Seeing the Yuhua Bagua Mirror functioning, Zhang Tianshou breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't easy for a human Sage to succeed.
If someone knew the Sage's whereabouts before their birth and controlled their path, For example, if someone saw the River God contract that Chen Fan was presiding over, they would immediately know how to proceed.
At best, they would secretly trap Chen Fan and personally promote this path.
With more malicious intent, they could scheme to strip Chen Fan of all his Merit, leading to his death and the demise of his Dao.
But once Chen Fan's Great Dao was achieved, and his Merit and destiny flourished, Even a Saint would have to consider whether it was worth the price to scheme against Chen Fan.
"Ah Fan, remember, you can take off this Bagua mirror at any time!"
Zhang Tianshou warned Chen Fan again, and Chen Fan nodded in agreement.
Chen Fan cared a great deal about his own life.
"Don't worry, just like the jade token, I haven't taken it off even when bathing!"
The moment Chen Fan said this, Zhang Tianshou's recently recovered complexion instantly turned red.
"What are you talking about? I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Seeing Zhang Tianshou suddenly flee, Chen Fan only then belatedly understood.
Had he just teased Zhang Tianshou?
"This is nothing yet, ancient people are truly so innocent!"
Chen Fan's lips curved slightly, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes.
If that was the case, he was still a little short of proposing to the Zhang Clan of Qinghe!
With that thought, Chen Fan turned his head and looked at the Qu Yuan Plow covered by a straw mat in the corner.
"When will the special envoy Li Shimin sent for a secret visit arrive? I need to pick up the pace!"
Inside the Heavenly Court's Jade Pool inner hall, the elegant and noble Queen Mother of the Jade Pool frowned slightly.
"Where is my vanity mirror?"
"Replying to Your Highness, this servant seems to have seen the little princess come and take it!
Does Your Highness require this servant to go to the Purple Cloud Palace to retrieve it?"
A female official responded, a hint of helplessness flashing in the Queen Mother's eyes.
"That girl, she only knows how to steal from me.
Never mind, it's just a vanity mirror, but it's good that you go.
These girls have been playing too wildly lately, tell them to come back quickly, not a single one is allowed to miss the Peach Banquet!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Chapter Twenty-Seven: Mysterious Bai Qianli, Driving a Heavenly Court Princess Mad?
In Qingshi Town, on the second floor of a small, simple European-style restaurant.
A man in a black long gown with a small mustache sat by the window.
Suddenly, a man in white slowly ascended from downstairs.
The man in white surveyed the surroundings and his eyes lit up slightly when he saw the man in black with the mustache.
The man in white took two steps forward and cupped his hands towards the man in black.
"Greetings, brother. May I share a table with you?"
The man in black turned his head, revealing himself to be Wei Zheng, sent by Li Shimin to investigate the case in Qingshi Town.
Hearing the man in white's words, Wei Zheng's gaze swept over the empty tables nearby.
A glint flashed in his eyes, he narrowed them, and smiled as he extended his hand.
"If brother doesn't mind, there's no reason why not!"
"Hahaha, thank you, brother. I am Bai Qianli. May I know your name?"
Bai Qianli cupped his hands towards Wei Zheng, his eyes briefly scanning over Wei Zheng's head.
Wei Zheng smiled slightly and returned the gesture, saying, "I am Wei Xuancheng. Jiang Tian Mu Yun He, Qian Li Gu Ru Si! Brother Bai has a good name.
However, judging by Brother Bai's attire and demeanor, you are not from around here!"
A hint of darkness flashed in Wei Zheng's eyes as he spoke, probing.
Bai Qianli smiled upon hearing this, and with a swish, his folding fan opened, replying, "Brother Wei flatters me. I am merely traveling here.
I heard that there is a strange sight here where humans can coexist peacefully with demons, which is quite peculiar.
Therefore, I came here with great admiration, wishing to see it for myself. Have you, Brother Wei, witnessed it?"
Facing Wei Zheng's probing, Bai Qianli's answer was watertight.
