Strongest Guard

Whether Zhan Hsingshen will live or die next, it all depends on the heavens' will.    

    

It was obvious that the few herbal medicines he had taken in a perfunctory manner did not stop Zhan Hsingshen from dying in the heat and cold.    

    

However, just as she was on her last breath, the good-natured Great Elder ended his closed door cultivation. He acted to save her and pulled her back from the gates of hell.    

    

Back then, the Great Elder had hugged her and soaked her in the herbal water, repeatedly slapping her acupuncture points and forcing out a mouthful of black blood, dispelling the demonic energy within her.    

    

When she was about to recover, the organization's best men, Hua Yeshen, came back. When they learned of this, they couldn't help but feel scared. They hugged her tightly and comforted her in a low voice, telling her not to be naughty and forbidden in the future.    

    

So many years had passed since this incident, Zhan Hsingshen had always kept this in mind.    

    

Therefore, when Dr. Tu mentioned the evil spirit, she suddenly thought of this matter and immediately instructed Manager Chen to buy the herbs.    

    

Looking at the extremely tired Hua Yeshen, Zhan Hsingshen understood why she had to be notified when she was burned into unconsciousness.    

    

Hua Yeshen, who was in a coma with a high fever, thought back to what had happened to her when she was seven years old. She hoped that once she rushed over, she could use the method that Grand Elder had used to save her that year.    

    

Zhan Hsingshen succeeded and Hua Yeshen was saved.    

    

But what Zhan Hsingshen didn't understand was that this wasn't the Flame Valley, nor was there the Xuan-Yuan Temple, which made her feel fearful just by thinking about it. How could Sister Shen be infected by the evil energy?    

    

As if she knew what she was thinking, Hua Yeshen opened her eyes and said softly, "Star God, I know you never believe in the so-called evil energy. You always think that the disaster that happened to you all those years ago was just a physical illness. But I can now tell you responsibly that there are certain phenomena in this world that science cannot explain. "    

    

Turning her head back to look at her, Hua Yeshen continued, "There are unexplained phenomena that exist not only in the Flame Valley but also in the outside world."    

    

"Yes."    

    

Zhan Hsingshen nodded and asked, "Sister Shen, where did you go last night?"    

    

Seeing her like this, Hua Yeshen knew that she still didn't believe in certain phenomena. She secretly sighed and followed up on her topic, "Last night, I went to Yue Zitong's house."    

    

"Yue Zitong?"    

    

Zhan Hsingshen's eyebrows creased slightly, and silently sneered: "Kaihuang Group's boss?"    

    

The impression that Yue Zitong left on Zhan Hsingshen was still very deep.    

    

A few months ago, when Zhan Hsingshen was performing a song in the gym, he became so muddle-headed that he started to mock Lee Nanfang in front of thousands of fans. After he lost all his face and left, it was Yue Zitong, Min Rou, and the others who brazenly stepped forward to publicly criticize her.    

    

In the end, she had to stop singing all over the country. To save her popularity, she had to do charity in the poor mountainous areas.    

    

If Lee Nanfang was the cause of that incident, then Yue Zitong was the culprit that caused Zhan Hsingshen's reputation to go down the drain.    

    

"Yes, that's her."    

    

"Sister Shen, why are you going to her house?"    

    

"I want to find something."    

    

Hua Yeshen recalled the terrifying scene from last night and her brows fiercely trembled.    

    

Zhan Hsingshen asked curiously: "What are you looking for?"    

    

"I don't know the specifics either. "I only know that Lee Nanfang lives in his house."    

    

"Li … Lee Nanfang lives in her house?"    

    

Zhan Hsingshen was stunned for a moment, then he realized something, "Ah, you're still suspecting that Li Jun and Lee Nanfang are the same person we're looking for?"    

    

Not in doubt, but with an 80% confidence that Lee Nanfang is the person we're looking for!    

    

Hua Yeshen swallowed her words before she could finish them, and said, "I don't think so. I have a feeling that guy's origins are unknown. "Even if he isn't the person we're looking for, if I want to take him in for my own use, I must find out who he is."    

    

After mentioning Lee Nanfang, Zhan Hsingshen obviously felt unnatural. His right hand moved back and forth in the bathtub, brushing away the herbs floating on the surface of the water.    

    

The water was getting clearer and clearer.    

    

The fishy smell of the herbs also became fainter and fainter.    

    

Staring at the slowly rising water mist, Hua Yeshen's thoughts gradually returned to the time before she lost consciousness due to the high fever.    

    

In order to thoroughly investigate Lee Nanfang's background, Hua Yeshen had used all the connections she could, trying to find out all eighteen generations of Lee Nanfang's ancestors.    

    

However, the result was satisfactory. Hua Yeshen only found out that Lee Nanfang was an abandoned baby.    

    

As for who his eighteen generations of ancestors were … Sorry, Scumbag Lee didn't even know who his parents were, how could these people find out?    

    

However, the news that Lee Nanfang was actually a Premature Failure Child when he was young was already enough to shock Hua Yeshen.    

    

He should have lived until the age of ten and returned to the world of bliss. However, he changed his fate, and the longer he grew, the younger he became. In the end, he 'evolved' into a normal person.    

    

For many years, Raging Flames had been bitterly searching for people who could age back to their prime.    

    

Restoring youth and rejuvenating one's youth was a phenomenon that only occurred in myths and legends. It was caused by the toiling masses that yearned for immortality. How could there be the existence of such a person in reality?    

    

Therefore, Hua Yeshen and the others didn't believe that there would be such a person. However, due to the strict orders from the Queen, they could only fish for needles in the sea.    

    

When Hua Yeshen heard the news that Lee Nanfang was the Premature Failure Child, she was shocked and came to a realization. She realized that all these years, everyone had been walking in the wrong direction, and they had spent almost all of their energy on searching for that non-existent person.    

    

But she never thought that, since she was born in Premature Failure Child, a person who could grow up perfectly would, in a sense, also be rejuvenated.    

    

Were there many people in this world who could defy the will of the heavens?    

    

Not much.    

    

According to Hua Yeshen's online search, only two cases of premature aging have occurred in the world since the last century.    

    

Lee Nanfang was not one of these two cases.    

    

Furthermore, both of those cases had appeared abroad and were now dead.    

    

Lee Nanfang was very likely the only Premature Failure Child in the world that could grow at the reverse direction.    

    

It could also be said that he had regressed back to his prime.    

    

After confirming the news, Hua Yeshen was extremely excited.    

    

The queen had promised in the Temple of Xuan-Yuan that as long as she could find that person, no matter what position he had previously occupied or what he did, he would be promoted to be her deputy.    

    

The Queen's assistant was below one person and above everyone else. She no longer needed to be bound by those old things from the Elders Guild.    

    

Now, there was finally a chance for her to not care about those old things. How could she not be overjoyed from this?    

    

Report immediately to the queen that I have found the man!    

    

Suppressing the ecstasy that was about to go mad, just as Hua Yeshen was about to head towards the Flame Valley and personally report to the queen, she hesitated.    

    

She thought of the third day of March every year.    

    

It was King Xuanyuan's birthday.    

    

On this day every year, all of the core and upper echelons of the Raging Flames family would rush back to the Flame Valley from all over the world to participate in the ancestral worship ceremony.    

    

It was only on this day that the main gate of the Xuanyuan Temple would be opened, and only the queen would have the chance to enter.    

    

In front of the Xuanyuan Deity, there was a tall stone altar, on it were the Three Beasts and Six Beasts, but they were closest to the statue of the deity, leaving behind a humanoid shape of space.    

    

There should be someone placed there.    

    

This person was the person that Raging Flames had been bitterly searching for for an unknown number of years.    

    

Would the people who were to be placed on the sacrificial altar with the Three Lives and Six Lives be living people?    

    

He might still be alive when he was first placed there, but he would soon become a dead man — his head would be chopped off by a blade at noon of that day!    

    

His blood would slowly flow down through the grooves on the altar and onto the feet of the deity statue.    

    

His blood will slowly spread upwards along the god statue, and when the god statue's eyes turn red, Emperor Yang, who was sealed in the dark world of rebirth, will be reborn!    

    

After Emperor Yang was reborn, he would bring along his queen, four Great God girls, and eight Great Tiger Generals, sweeping across the entire world like a roll call, reuniting with the era when the emperors began to rule the empire …    

    

There was no doubt that this was a legend.    

    

However, for thousands of years, Raging Flames had never doubted this legend. He had always used finding people who could return to their youth as a memorial to the ancestor of the human race, Emperor Xuan-Yuan, to revive Emperor Yang.    

    

The queen had been yearning for Emperor Yang, hoping to rule the world with him for too many years.    

    

Therefore, she made a heavy oath in front of Emperor Xuanyuan's Divine Statue, that whoever found that person would immediately become her assistant.    

    

Hua Yeshen had an incomparable desire to find someone who could regain her youth and make an unparalleled contribution to her organization.    

    

The heavens had favored her.    

    

She also expressed her gratitude to the heavens.    

    

But why did she hesitate before leaving?    

    

She thought of Lee Nanfang being beheaded on the altar, his head being chopped off, blood gushing out, his head rolling down the altar, rolling to her feet, his eyes staring fiercely at her.    

    

If she killed Lee Nanfang, she would become Raging Flames' number two.    

    

But was the feeling of being number two better than the feeling of having Lee Nanfang?    

    

Hua Yeshen didn't know.    

    

So she hesitated.    

    

The longer she hesitated, the weaker her desire to see Lee Nanfang die became.    

    

On the other hand, when she had him, her heart palpitated more and more, causing her to start asking herself, what does a woman need the most when she's alive?    

    

Under one man, the glory of power above all, or — a man?    

    

If she had known that Holan Fusu and Lin Yiting were already living together, she would definitely have rushed to the Flame Valley without any hesitation as she was sure that Lee Nanfang was most likely the person that the organization was looking for.    

    

At that time, there was only Holan Fusu in her heart.    

    

But now, Holan Fusu had already been snatched away by Lin Yiting, and she had already fought with Lee Nanfang three times.    

    

Strictly speaking, Lee Nanfang was already Hua Yeshen's man.    

    

When she was with him, she could give up all dignity, nobility, and modesty. She could turn into an unscrupulous normal woman and enjoy a fulfilling life.    

    

Was power more important than a full life?    

    

After hesitating for a long time, Hua Yeshen finally decided to keep this matter a secret. The reason was to investigate Lee Nanfang thoroughly. After confirming with a hundred percent certainty that he was that person, she would think about it.    

    

Actually, Hua Yeshen knew very well that when she thought about it, she had already made her choice.    

    

Deep in love, she finally chose the latter between being powerful and being a man.    

    

This choice caused her to be somewhat hesitant. She had to hurry up and do something in order to feel at ease.    

    

So last night, she sneaked into Yue Zitong's house, hoping to find evidence that Lee Nanfang wasn't that person's witness. That way, she wouldn't have to hesitate from betraying the queen's strict order.    

    

Last night, after she infiltrated the Yue Clan, she still hadn't found Lee Nanfang's room. Yue Zitong had gone home.    

    

Seeing that Yue Zitong was the only one who had returned home, Hua Yeshen, who had originally planned to escape quietly, changed her mind.    

    

Pretending to be mysterious had scared a person's spirit to the point of breaking down. Hua Yeshen's strong point was that she could say whatever she wanted to ask.
