If it wasn't taught to outsiders, what was there to discuss?
In the end, rather than pin his hopes on Ku He, he might as well beg his fellow countryman, Great Sage!
Although he already owed Great Sage his life and didn't want to owe him any more favors.
Then again, he already owed him his life. What was one more favor for a cultivation technique?
He just didn't know whether Great Sage's cultivation technique could help him, but he had to give it a try!
Chen Pingping knew he had no way of obtaining the One Heaven Technique from Ku He. He had only said that to give Fan Xian some hope.
Of course, he didn't know that Fan Xian harbored an even greater hope.
Unwilling to let Fan Xian sink into dejection, he changed the subject.
"We have results on the assassination attempt at the Hanging Temple."
Sure enough, his words immediately caught Fan Xian's attention.
"What are they?"
Chen Pingping held nothing back, first explaining the backgrounds of the guard and the eunuch.
Broadly speaking, they were unresolved issues left over from the past.
One involved the Hu People, the other the princes and nobles of the past. Both men had lain hidden for years out of hatred, and when an opportunity arose this time, they had brazenly struck.
After listening, Fan Xian seemed unconcerned about the identities of these two assassins. He merely said, "Such a coincidence?"
Chen Pingping nodded. "Exactly that much of a coincidence."
"What about the swordsman in white?" Fan Xian asked, tilting his head to fix his gaze on Chen Pingping's eyes.
Chen Pingping paused, avoiding his gaze. "His Majesty has a discerning eye. That was indeed Si Gujian's Younger Brother. When Si Gujian slaughtered his entire clan, he alone was spared."
