Chapter 36 Fan Xian was shocked
It was filled with endless sorrow and anger!
He knew that his mother's death could not have been a natural one!
There must be more to her death than meets the eye!
"Yes, who killed her?" Fan Xian's voice was icy cold, filled with undisguised killing intent!
Looking into Fan Xian's eyes, which were filled with hatred and anger, Fan Jian sighed inwardly.
He knew that some things couldn't be kept secret.
But he didn't want Fan Xian to bear such a heavy burden of hatred too early.
"Xian'er, this is a long story."
Fan Jian shook his head and said, "You are still too weak."
Knowing too much won't do you any good.
"All you need to know is that your mother was murdered by a villain."
"And you, the road ahead is long and dangerous."
Fan Xian fell silent upon hearing this.
He knew that Fan Jian was telling the truth.
With his current strength, even if he knew the truth, he would be powerless to change the situation.
On the contrary, it might bring about their own demise.
"Father, I understand."
Fan Xian took a deep breath and tried to calm his turbulent emotions.
"My child, I will definitely strive to become stronger!"
"One day, your child will seek justice for your mother!"
His voice was filled with unwavering determination!
Fan Jian looked at Fan Xian's appearance, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
He knew that this child, though young, was exceptionally mature.
He will surely understand his good intentions.
"There's one more thing,"
Fan Jian paused for a moment, then continued.
"Xian'er, you are not your mother's only child."
"You have an older brother."
What?!
Fan Xian was shocked once again upon hearing this!
An expression of disbelief appeared on his face!
"I...I have an older brother?!"
This news was even more shocking to him than learning the cause of his mother's death!
He never imagined that he would have a blood relative in this world!
"Yes," Fan Jian nodded and said, "Your brother's name is Ye Tian."
"He is currently in Kyoto, adopted by Princess Li Yunrui."
"Moreover, he, like you, is a once-in-a-generation genius!"
Fan Jian did not tell Fan Xian about Ye Tian's terrifying strength at the peak of the ninth rank, or his astonishing "deeds".
He only mentioned it briefly and didn't say anything more.
He didn't want Fan Xian to feel too much pressure because of Ye Tian's excellence.
He hopes that the two children can support each other and face the unknown dangers and challenges together in the future.
As Fan Xian listened to Fan Jian's story, his heart was filled with endless doubts and a strange sense of anticipation.
He has an older brother?
An older brother who is also a genius?
So, what kind of person is he?
Is he doing well now?
Does he know he exists?
Countless questions flooded Fan Xian's mind like a tide, leaving him feeling confused and curious.
"Father," Fan Xian looked at Fan Jian, hesitating to speak.
He wanted to know more about his brother.
But he also knew that Fan Jian didn't seem to want to say more.
Fan Jian smiled slightly as he looked at Fan Xian's appearance, and then took out the small black box left by Wu Zhu from his pocket.
"Xian'er, this box was left by your mother to Mr. Wuzhu so that he could pass it on to you."
Fan Jian handed the box to Fan Xian and said in a deep voice.
"Perhaps the answer you're looking for is here."
Fan Xian took the box; it was cold to the touch, yet heavy.
He could clearly sense that this seemingly ordinary box contained some kind of mysterious power.
"What's in here?" Fan Xian asked curiously.
Fan Jian shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
"This box can only be opened by you, or rather, only by someone who has your mother's bloodline."
Upon hearing this, Fan Xian's curiosity was further aroused.
He couldn't wait to open the box and see what secrets it held.
He tried fiddling with the combination lock on top of the box.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open the box.
"Incorrect password."
Fan Xian said with a hint of helplessness.
He knew that this box must require a special password to open.
And this password, it seems, is known only to his mother, Ye Qingmei.
It seems that to unlock the secrets of this box, we can only wait for the future.
Fan Xian packed away the box, but his heart was still filled with endless daydreams about the future.
He has an older brother.
One, an older brother who is also a genius.
What kind of person is he, exactly?
How will these two brothers meet again in the future?
But who exactly was the enemy who killed his mother?
Countless mysteries, like a fog, shrouded Fan Xian's mind, making him feel both confused and full of fighting spirit!
He knew that his future path was destined to be extraordinary!
He also knew that he had to become stronger as soon as possible!
Only with sufficient power can he uncover the whole truth!
He has the talent to avenge his mother!
Only then can I stand shoulder to shoulder with that brother I've never met, and face this turbulent world together!

·············
After learning from Fan Jian that he had an older brother named Ye Tian, Fan Xian's heart was stirred as if a pebble had been thrown in, creating ripples.
He was filled with endless curiosity about this older brother he had never met, yet who was related to him by blood.
He wanted to know what kind of person this older brother, whom Fan Jian also called an "unparalleled genius," really was.
What kind of life is he living in Kyoto now?
Does he know he exists?
With these questions in mind, Fan Xian began his first "independent investigation".
His first target of investigation was Fei Jie, his mysterious yet loving mentor.
Fei Jie, the former head of the Third Division of the Control Yuan, may appear slovenly and unkempt on the surface, but his true identity is unfathomable.
He was not only proficient in poisons and medicine, but also a member of the core "six-person group" of the Control Yuan, and had an extraordinary relationship with Chen Pingping, Fan Jian and others.
Fan Xian knew that Fei Jie must know something about his mother and his mysterious older brother.
On this day, taking advantage of Fei Jie's "coincidental" appearance in Danzhou and his "convenient" visit to him, Fan Xian finally unleashed all the questions that had been nagging at him.
"Teacher, do you know that my mother, Ye Qingmei, has another son?"
Fan Xian looked at Fei Jie's wrinkled yet shrewd old face and asked cautiously.
Upon hearing this, Fei Jie's cloudy eyes flickered slightly, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
"Oh? You little rascal, where did you hear this news?"
Instead of answering Fan Xian's question directly, he asked a question in return.
Fan Xian knew that Fei Jie, that old fox, was always meticulous and wouldn't be easy to get anything out of him.
"Teacher, please stop keeping me in suspense," Fan Xian pleaded with a pained expression. "My father has already told me everything."
"He said that I have an older brother named Ye Tian, who is currently in Kyoto and has been adopted by Princess Li Yunrui."
"You must know about him, right?"
Fei Jie chuckled as he looked at Fan Xian's eager and curious expression, and said, "You know how to find people, kid."
"That's right, I do know something about your brother."
Upon hearing this, Fan Xian's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Then tell me quickly! What kind of person is my brother?"
Fei Jie took a sip of the cheap yellow wine in his cup, smacked his lips, and then slowly said, "Your brother, tsk tsk, he's really quite a remarkable person!"
His tone was filled with amazement and a hint of barely perceptible apprehension.
"Oh? What's so amazing about it?" Fan Xian's curiosity was completely piqued.
"Let me put it this way," Fei Jie held up two fingers, gesturing, "You kid, although you're considered a little prodigy, compared to your older brother, hehe, you're probably still far from being a match!"
Fan Xian felt somewhat unconvinced upon hearing this.
He admitted that he was still very weak.
But he believes that his talent and potential are absolutely second to none!
How come Fei Jie said that his brother, whom he had never met, was so much better than him?
"Teacher, aren't you just giving others too much credit and diminishing your own?" Fan Xian said, pursing his lips.
Upon hearing this, Fei Jie laughed and said, "Boy, I'm not lying to you."
"Your brother, Ye Tian, is currently enjoying immense fame in Kyoto!"
"He is not only Her Highness the Eldest Princess's most beloved adopted son, but is also hailed as the 'Number One Talent in the World'!"
"The greatest talent in the world?!" Fan Xian was shocked upon hearing this.
He knew that this title was not something anyone could bear!
"That's right!" Fei Jie nodded and said, "Your brother is exceptionally talented and a true literary genius!"
"It is said that when he was seven years old, he could compose poems on the spot, even in seven steps!"
"Now, he has even written two timeless masterpieces—'Dream of the Red Chamber' and 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'!"
"These two books are now extremely rare and sought-after in Kyoto, and indeed throughout the entire country!"
"What?! *Dream of the Red Chamber*?! *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*?!"
When Fan Xian heard these two book titles, he was struck dumb, as if by lightning, and froze on the spot!
His face showed disbelief, shock, and horror!
These two book titles,
These two novels,
He...he knows him all too well!
These are clearly the classic masterpieces he read on Earth in his previous life!
Could it be that someone in this world has actually written these two books?!
Do not!
impossible!
The author of these two books is clearly...
A thought that he dared not imagine, yet longed for, was growing wildly in his heart!
"Teacher, you...you just said that my brother also wrote some poems?"
Fan Xian's voice trembled slightly, almost uncontrollably.
"Yes," Fei Jie nodded, "your brother's poetic talent is even more remarkable!"
"What do you mean by 'A waterfall plunges three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way were falling from the ninth heaven'?"
"And there's that poem praising Miss Lin: 'Clouds remind me of her clothes, flowers of her face; the spring breeze caresses the balustrade, the dew is heavy.'"
"Wow, those are truly exquisite words, every sentence a classic!"
As Fei Jie spoke, he shook his head, as if he were immersed in those beautiful verses.
However, he did not notice.
Fan Xian, standing to the side, was already deathly pale and his body was ice-cold!
Those verses,
Those poems that he once knew by heart and could recite backwards when he was on Earth,
It was actually made by his brother, whom he had never met?!
This seemingly ordinary event utterly horrified Fan Xian at this moment. What did it signify?!
