Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 274 - 133: The Great Yan Dynasty’s Envoy! Daoist Priest Fan is Very Satisfied! (A 10,000-word Mega - - Please Subscribe)_3
That wasn’t a smile of anticipation!
It was, shockingly, a covetous smile!
"They... those people, are in a big inn within the prefecture, which... just happens to be under the Yun Clan." Facing the inquiry of Taoist Priest Fan, Lin Yuede answered with extreme caution.
He feared that any word he misspoke could anger the Taoist Priest before him.
And then it would implicate the Lin Family.
Hiss!
At the thought of that possibility, Lin Yue wished she could slap herself in the face. To avoid enraging Taoist Priest Fan, why couldn’t she have just kept quiet?
Why not let the other two guys answer the priest’s question?
That way, the risk of angering Taoist Priest Fan would have been shifted onto those two, right?
Why was she so talkative? 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Damn it!
Lin Yue was feeling unprecedentedly nervous, she really wanted to witness the changes in Taoist Priest Fan’s expression, but she didn’t dare to make eye contact... The oppressive feeling he gave her was even greater than all her family’s elders combined!
"Eh?" Stopped by Lin Yue’s words, Yun Jiuqing was taken aback and said in astonishment, "They’re in an inn under my family’s name?"
Lin Yue weakly nodded her head. She thought for a moment... She was talking to Yun Jiuqing now, not Taoist Priest Fan, so she shouldn’t anger the priest, right?
Therefore, she replied, "It’s the inn over to the west side of the prefecture city, the envoy from the Great Yan Dynasty booked the entire inn."
Yun Jiuqing’s face was full of surprise; the envoy from the Great Yan Dynasty was lodging at her family’s inn, and she had known nothing about it!
What a situation!
Yun Jiuqing felt quite ashamed. As the young miss of the Yun Residence, she had been completely indifferent to her family affairs.
Ahem!
Shaking off the various thoughts in her mind, Yun Jiuqing turned to Fan Wu and inquired, "Taoist Priest Fan, do you want to meet those people?"
Fan Wu had already slowly stood up.
His towering figure brought an even greater sense of oppression to everyone.
Especially to Yun Jiuqing’s three childhood playmates.
They were so frightened that they took a step back.
Yet, they tried to maintain a facade on their faces as if they were not scared at all.
Which made for a rather comical expression.
Fan Wu, who had slowly risen to his feet, hadn’t uttered a word, not even a single letter.
But his intention was very clear.
...
Prefecture.
West of the city.
The inn booked by the envoy of the Great Yan Dynasty was the largest one in the area to the west of the prefecture city. Booking such an inn for several consecutive days would cost no less than a few hundred taels of silver.
But clearly, the envoys from the Great Yan Dynasty were not lacking in silver; they had even booked the entire inn for seven days in one go.
This kind of behavior, where hundreds to thousands of taels of silver were readily spent, was considered very lavish within the prefecture.
The inn was bustling with activity.
Inside the inn, the center space had been cleared, with only two people standing in this spacious area.
The two individuals in the open space were on guard, carefully confronting each other in a tense stance.
One of them had rather fair skin, looking every bit the dashing young gentleman.
The other had rougher skin, yet the aura about him was no weaker than the others.
The area surrounding the open space was packed with people.
Moreover, those filling the space all seemed to be of no ordinary status, judging by their luxurious attire. Any one of them pulled aside would have clothing worth at least ten taels of silver as a starting price.
Moreover, most of them looked quite young, with some mana fluctuations about them, clearly marking them as a large group of cultivators.
However, within this crowd, a small number of individuals stood out distinctly.
They seemed very out of place among the others.
Like they didn’t fit in at all.
There were about a dozen of these people, whose dress differed from the others... it seemed to be a matter of style.
These dozen individuals all had a healthy wheat-colored complexion, looking more like soldiers who had served in the military for many years rather than cultivators.
Among these dozen people,
An elder with a salt-and-pepper beard and hair looked expressionlessly at the two cultivators confronting each other. Shaking his head, he said, "That scion from the Great Zhou Dynasty is no match for Ah Hu."
Next to the elder stood a tall, brawny man. He glanced at the elder and then back to the two still confronting each other in the open space.
With a look of astonishment, the burly man questioned in a deep voice, "Great Envoy... How can you tell? I think that while Ah Hu is indeed strong, that Great Zhou cultivator is not simple either."
"That delicate-looking Great Zhou cultivator must have some very powerful family Taoist magic. The aura emanating from him... feels to me like a poisonous snake in the mountains!"
The elder replied, "No matter how venomous the snake, it’s still just a small snake. Once touched by a tiger’s sharp claws, it will snap into two."
"If it were a python, it might stand a chance."
"Unfortunately..."
"He is not."
In the moment when the elder’s last three words fell, the two standing in confrontation in the spacious area moved almost simultaneously.
