Chapter 805: Chapter 224: Great Yan Imperial City! Patriarch Liu: ??? (10,000 characters)_5

"I only know that most of them have the surname Xiang, at least when the elders in my clan address them... they either call them Mr. Xiang or Fellow Daoist Xiang."

"I remember, it seems that it was the Family Head who hosted them and allowed them to stay over in the Liu Family... As for why the Family Head allowed them to stay, I am not quite sure."

"They have a total of... a total of..."

At this point, this young brat called Liu Changsheng racked his brains but could not come up with a specific number.

It was not until a companion behind him spoke up to supplement, "Including that girl, there are eleven of them. Other than that girl, the rest are adults, and they are all male."

"And..." the young brat who took over the conversation continued, "I always feel their accent is strange, not like the locals from the Imperial City, and not even like people from our Dynasty."

"How can they not be people from our Dynasty, you’ve never left the Great Yan Dynasty, how would you know?" a short-statured young brat retorted in disbelief.

"I just feel they are not from the Great Yan Dynasty!"

"I think they clearly are!"

"..."

Watching these young brats suddenly engage in a nonsensical argument, Yun Jiuqing slowly stood up, her expression solemn as she said to everyone, "If I am not mistaken, they should be the group of people who are connected to the Laws-Phantom Demon Venerable, right?"

"Indeed, they are highly suspect," Xing Fengzi agreed, "The Laws-Phantom Demon Venerable, with the surname Xiang. Xiang, and象, these are homophones, there could really be a certain connection."

"Perhaps to know more information, we can only go and discuss this with that Family Head of your Liu Family," Xing Fengzi continued.

Liu Feng nodded firmly, "I will take you to him!"

Strictly speaking, Liu Feng didn’t count as a high-ranking person in the Imperial City’s Liu Family, his status was neither high nor low, belonging to that middle level where one is inferior to the nobles yet superior to the commoners.

With his status, under normal circumstances, he shouldn’t disturb the Family Head of a clan.

But Liu Feng realized that the Liu Family had come to a time of crisis and couldn’t be bothered with so many family rules.

He directly rushed with Fan Wu and others to a building within the clan compound.

This...

This was where the Patriarch Liu resided!

...

Inside the building.

An old man with white hair was having a pleasant conversation with another old man with white hair. Each of them held a cup of tea in their hands, the fragrance of the tea overflowing, inhaling it was invigorating.

One of the old men in a green robe looked at the friend before him who he hadn’t seen for many months and sighed, "Who would have thought... you’ve encountered so many events within the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"Just think, being able to leave the Great Zhou Imperial City unscathed is truly no easy feat."

At this, the green-robed old man lowered his voice and asked curiously, "Does the chaos that happened in the Great Zhou Dynasty really have nothing to do with you envoys?"

After listening.

The white-robed old man opposite him shook his head and smiling bitterly, "I am just an envoy sent out by the Great Yan Dynasty, not a great general sent out by the Dynasty to expand territories. How could such an affair be related to me?"

"It’s rather you, old Liu, when did you connect with the Xiang Family in the Shangwu Dynasty? I’ve heard that the Xiang Family is also quite a powerful clan within the Shangwu Dynasty."

"And the Shangwu Dynasty is vast and rich, with national power at its peak. A powerful clan there, if placed here in the Great Yan Dynasty, could easily crush the leading family of the Great Yan."

The white-robed old man was indeed that old envoy!

Enviously, the old envoy said, "If you could open up a trade route between the Great Yan Dynasty and the Shangwu Dynasty through that Xiang Family, I fear that in no more than a hundred years, your Liu Family could become the second-tier family within the Imperial City."

"Another two or three hundred years, and you might even be able to rub shoulders with those top-tier families."

"Ha ha ha! Luck, it’s all luck." Hearing his old friend sing his praises, the green-robed old man beamed with pride: "These things, I am only telling you, don’t you go spreading them, alright?"

The old envoy rolled his eyes, "Of the secrets you’ve told me, which have I ever spread?"

Indeed! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Coincidentally... this old envoy from the Great Yan Dynasty happened to be good friends with the Patriarch Liu.

From the dialogue between the two, it could be heard that their relationship was extraordinarily good.

Almost like sworn brothers of different surnames.

"Speaking of..." the green-robed Patriarch Liu curiously asked, "That Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple you mentioned, is he really that powerful? In his twenties... he could quell the unrest in the Great Zhou Imperial City with his own strength?!"

"Not a single exaggeration," the old envoy said, "He is a being that cannot be described in regular terms. Sometimes I even wonder... is he really in his twenties? Or is he over two hundred years old? Perhaps even over two thousand?"

"And..." the old envoy took a sip of tea, moistening his throat before continuing, "This, is not even the most exaggerated part."

Patriarch Liu was stunned, "Ah?!"
