Chapter 191 Celestial Iron
Wu You followed Fang Duobing and Shi Wenjue to a secluded place with few people. When the two stopped, Wu You and Nanfeng hid in a place where they could hear each other but were not easily discovered.
Shi Wenjue first looked around, and seeing that no one was around, he said to Fang Duobing, "Young Master Fang, are you Dan Dao's nephew?"
"Yes." Fang Duobing nodded, not understanding what Shi Wenjue was up to.
"That's good. These past few days at the women's residence, I'm very grateful to Young Hero Fang for clearing us of suspicion. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would still be in the hands of those guards, and our lives might even be in danger. I am extremely grateful."
"Young Master Shi, you are too kind. As a detective from Baichuan Academy, I would never allow you to suffer such an injustice."
"Now that we part ways today, I don't know when we will meet again. I have a favor to ask of you, young hero Fang."
Shi Wenjue's dark face revealed an embarrassment.
"Please feel free to speak."
"The story goes like this: many years ago, Shan Gudao brought a piece of Heavenly Cloud Iron to Divine Weapon Valley, saying he wanted to forge a piece of precious armor for himself and also to cast a precious sword for Li Xiangyi."
"But he died in the fight with the Golden Kite Alliance, which doesn't make sense."
Shi Wenjue voiced his question.
"Why can't it be explained?" Since it concerns his own father, Fang Duobing naturally had to pay some attention.
"Young Master Fang may not know this, but this Heavenly Cloud Iron is a material that is both hard and soft. In the past hundred years, Divine Weapon Valley has only seen it once, in the hands of Shan Gu Dao."
"If this is used to forge armor, nothing can break it except for the sword that Li Xiangyi used to slit his own throat. I saw my father forge the sword with my own eyes back then, and there was absolutely no problem with it."
"That's why I wanted to ask Young Hero Fang, was Shan Gu Dao wearing this armor when he passed away?"
"This..." Fang Duobing didn't know how to answer. He and Li Lianhua had personally buried him, and he had seen that precious armor.
Shi Wenjue added from the side, "Only Li Xiangyi's sword could pierce Shan Gudao's armor. Isn't this just as we said at the Four Views Tea Party, that Shan Gudao's death was full of suspicious circumstances?"
“Alas, my father has always been troubled by this matter over the years, which is why I came to ask Young Master Fang.”
"He wasn't wearing this armor."
Fang Duobing, lost in thought, didn't answer truthfully. One was his father, the other his master; neither was a good answer.
"I see, that's wonderful, that's wonderful. I'll take my leave now. If Young Hero Fang ever needs anything and comes to Divine Weapon Valley to find me, I will definitely compose ten poems for you. Farewell, farewell."
After finishing his sentence, Shi Wenjue left in a hurry, and it was clear that he had finally put his mind at ease.
After Wu You watched Shi Wenjue leave, Fang Duobing stood there, seemingly lost in thought.
"Walk."
Wu You gave Nan Feng that look, then tiptoed behind Fang Duobing, patted his right shoulder, and then, while he was looking to the right, went around to the front from his left.
"Fang Duobing, what are you standing there for?"
"Hey, Wu You, can you stop appearing out of nowhere? You're scaring me."
Forced to snap out of his reverie, Fang Duobing looked to the right but saw no one. He then turned to the left and saw Wu You and Nanfeng.
"And you're talking about me? Are you enjoying the breeze here? Li Lianhua is looking for you."
"Oh, let's go. What are you two doing here? You wouldn't happen to be...?"
Seeing Fang Duobing's scrutinizing gaze, Wu You said frankly, "What are you thinking? I was just discussing something with Nanfeng, and we ended up here."
"Really? What's the problem?" Fang Duobing looked at Nanfeng, somewhat disbelieving.
