Let Me Explain, Fairy-Chapter 42 - Thirty-Nine Possible Being

42: Chapter Thirty-Nine: Possible Being

42 -Thirty-Nine: Possible Being

Lady Moon, Xu Yuan had been wondering if this woman might also possess some cultivation.

For a mere woman to uphold such a large Zuixian Pavilion, it clearly seemed unrealistic.

Now it appears she indeed is a master.

The reason the original body couldn’t withstand even three moves against her is now clear.

Most likely, Lady Moon was employing a dual cultivation technique at that time.

That’s not very sportsmanlike.

Since Lady Moon’s neck was being grasped, she naturally could not respond to Xu Yuan’s words.

After looking at Lady Moon’s slightly pale face for a couple of seconds, Xu Yuan slightly raised his hand as a signal.

Grandmaster Zhou gave face at this moment, releasing his grip immediately and stepping back to stand behind Xu Yuan with his eyes lowered.

Unlike other masters who carried themselves with arrogance, Zhou Chen had climbed up from the very bottom, step by step.

A Great Grandmaster could be one thing,

but when it came to being a lackey, he was professional too.

In the quiet garden alley, with its green bricks and azure tiles, Lady Moon’s slender figure had smashed a small dent into the spotless courtyard wall.

After Zhou Chen released her, Lady Moon immediately collapsed weakly, her pallor making her appear somewhat pitiful.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan was somewhat surprised and glanced sideways at Zhou Chen.

Did you need to go so hard?

Zhou Chen shook his head with a resigned look in his eyes.

Lady Moon had only wanted to suddenly appear and intimidate the Third Young Master with a show of force.

She did not make any aggressive moves, so he also just returned the gesture.

Xu Yuan nodded in understanding, then looked back at Lady Moon with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Indeed, only women who survived the fierce competition in a place of pleasure could act so convincingly.

“Lady Moon, why the hardship?” Xu Yuan asked.

Lady Moon lowered her gaze for a moment, lightly pursed her lips, and when she looked up again, her eyes brimmed with a trace of grievance:

“Third Young Master, if…

if Zuixian Pavilion were my own property, why would I not give it to you…

But these are the rules set by Master Qin, and all I can do is follow them.”

“Master Qin?” Xu Yuan murmured the unfamiliar name.

Although Xu Changtian often acted unrestrained, he was generally quite generous in places of pleasure.

Jealous fits were normal, but given his status and willingness to spend lavishly, he never really caused any serious trouble.

Hence, this was the first time Xu Yuan had heard the name Master Qin.

He must be the person pulling the strings behind Zuixian Pavilion.

Xu Yuan tried to match this Master Qin with a character from the Cangyuan Chronicles but came up short.

The name Master Qin sounded familiar, but it probably wasn’t from Cang Yuan.

Regardless,

anyone who could secretly sustain an establishment like Zuixian Pavilion must be someone of considerable means.

After all, Xu Yuan remembered Zuixian Pavilion also existed in the Imperial Capital.

Pausing for a moment,

Xu Yuan looked sideways at Zhou Chen, his eyes conveying an inquiry.

Zhou Chen hesitated slightly, then relayed a message to Xu Yuan telepathically.

Upon hearing what Zhou Chen said, Xu Yuan roughly understood what kind of person this Master Qin was.

Offspring of a Sect family, naturally gifted with a Sword Bone, well-known in the Jiangnan region, and even more than a decade ago, there was talk that he could rival the Prime Minister’s eldest son.

An odd look flashed through Xu Yuan’s eyes.

If Master Qin was indeed like what Zhou Chen described, then why had he never encountered him in the storyline?

“…..”

Lady Moon couldn’t hear their telepathic exchange, but she could guess from their expressions.

After a second of consideration, she continued in a soft voice:

“Third Young Master, the new girl here was personally delivered by Master Qin, and he also personally explained the related matters.

You wouldn’t have me defy Master Qin’s will, would you…”

Regaining his composure, Xu Yuan immediately arched an eyebrow.

He paid no mind to the latter half of Lady Moon’s words.

This woman, she was sent by Master Qin?

After pondering for a few moments, Xu Yuan smiled and asked:

“Madam Yue, you said Jin Xuan was brought here by that Mr.

Qin, is this true?”

A flicker of confusion passed through Madam Yue’s eyes, but she still spoke the truth:

“I, a mere servant, would never deceive the Third Young Master.

Jin Xuan was indeed personally brought here by Mr.

Qin half a month ago.”

“…”

Xu Yuan’s eyes flickered with thoughts.

If it was as Madam Yue said, and that woman was sent by this Mr.

Qin, then this piece of information was worth savoring.

In the “Cangyuan Chronicles”, although it wasn’t easy for Xu Yuan to control the protagonist to kill his past self, who was the Third Young Master in several world lines, there were no insurmountable powerful adversaries to contend with.

The most formidable boss was the likes of Xue Yong, a peak Sixth Grade Iron Body Protector.

Now that the storyline had become reality, the problems within were too significant.

After killing a boss of Xue Yong’s level, his original self was directly beheaded by the storyline protagonist controlled by Xu Yuan.

At the time, Xu Yuan didn’t pay much attention to it.

After all, the trope of blindly arrogant young masters sending subordinates to their deaths, one after another, had taken root deeply, and that Iron Body peak boss was indeed tough to beat.

Now, upon further reflection, Grandmasters Zhou Chen and Ying’er were both watching at the side.

With the protagonist’s current strength, to use his head to kill his past self?

Someone like Madam Yue, who was a great expert, was taken down in a flash by Zhou Chen the moment she approached a bit too quickly.

For the protagonist at this point in time to think about killing Xu Changtian…

Do you believe that a single look from Zhou Chen could kill you?

Admittedly.

Perhaps due to the butterfly effect caused by Xu Yuan possessing the Innate Taoist Body, Xu Changge strengthened the protectors around him.

But after Ran Qingmo’s kidnapping incident, Xu Changge should at least have left a Great Grandmaster for protection, right?

However, there was none in the storyline.

It seemed that the Great Grandmaster who was supposed to protect his past self must have been tied up with something…

With this thought,

Xu Yuan’s eyes became somewhat strange, as a rather absurd notion began to creep into his heart.

Or…

was that segment of the storyline simply a BUG?

After all, even in a fictional world that tries to be complete, there will always be inconsistencies, especially since the game must also cater to the player’s experience.

With this thought, the peculiarity in Xu Yuan’s heart grew stronger.

Since arriving in this new world, he had grown accustomed to its patches and oddities.

If that was the case, then this Mr.

Qin who suddenly appeared made perfect sense to Xu Yuan.

Because there was a bug in the storyline where the protagonist kills the Third Young Master, the world created a person to perfect that bug.

Assuming that premise held, he continued down that line of thought.

What then, was Mr.

Qin’s motive?

Which faction in “Cangyuan” did he belong to?

Marquis Wucheng?

Although the relations between this marquis and the Prime Minister’s Mansion were tense, his conduct had always been aboveboard, and he wouldn’t stoop so low as to harm the Third Young Master.

The Royalist Faction?

His father held the post of Prime Minister, ranked among the three dignitaries, and was a mentor to the Crown Prince.

With the Emperor gravely ill, the Prime Minister’s lineage has been supporting the Crown Prince all along.

At this point in time, the Prime Minister’s mansion and the Royalist Faction backing the Crown Prince were still enjoying their honeymoon period.

The local Sects?

If they had taken action, then why would Ran Qingmo, the only disciple and successor of the Sword Sect leader, risk kidnapping him?

“…”

The complicated factional relationships depicted in “Cangyuan Chronicles” swiftly flashed through Xu Yuan’s mind, but he arrived at nothing conclusive.

Those with the motive lacked the power.

Those with the power lacked the motive.

Even those with both strength and motive, like the Ancient Abyss, couldn’t extend their reach into a provincial capital stronghold like Jingjiang City.

Same old habit: when puzzled by a complex matter, he would set it aside for the time being.

It wouldn’t be too late to meet this Mr.

Qin in person, gain more information, and speculate later on.

Just as Xu Yuan was about to temporarily let go of the issue, the corner of his eye twitched.

A thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.

If this world could create a Mr.

Qin,

could it also create a hidden force lurking in the dark?
