Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 807 - 225: The Girl and the Demon Venerable! Fan Wu’s Assault!
The astonishment on his face revealed just how confused and baffled Patriarch Liu currently felt.
He first glanced at his old friend’s expression and could tell that his friend’s mood was incredibly tumultuous, as if he had encountered some formidable being.
And then... he followed his old friend’s gaze and laid eyes on Fan Wu.
"Daoist Fan Wu..." Patriarch Liu murmured these four words to himself in a voice only he could hear.
Was the person standing behind Liu Feng a Daoist? He was so tall, much taller than the people of the Great Yan Dynasty.
His friend was a renowned Envoy of the Great Yan Dynasty, an elder statesman in the Imperial Court.
To be addressed as a Daoist Priest by his friend... surely he must be one of those white-haired, celestial-looking Daoists?
But the Daoist before him wore no Daoist Robe and didn’t look at all like a Daoist; he resembled more of a warrior, and was even excessively young.
Such a peculiar, young Daoist was an acquaintance of his friend?
And his friend even respectfully called him Daoist Priest?
Daoist Fan Wu... Fan Wu... Fan...
Huh?!
Fan Wu?
Daoist Priest?
Patriarch Liu’s breath nearly stopped at that moment, the confusion on his face instantly transforming into intense shock and disbelief. Especially the way he looked at Fan Wu had changed from initial puzzlement to utter incredulity, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Because at that moment, he recalled some of what his friend had told him, including the Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
He had been relieved before that their modest Liu Family likely would not attract the attention of such a great Buddha.
And now, such a magnificent Buddha appeared right before him, in their Liu Family?
What!
Could the Daoist Fan Wu his friend spoke of be the same Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple?
To tell the truth, Patriarch Liu hoped they were not the same person, for such a Buddha was far too fearsome! Even if Fan Wu might not be a malevolent person, his mere presence at the Liu Family was enough to make Patriarch Liu tremble with fear.
He dreaded that a mere sneeze from Fan Wu could utterly raze the Liu Family to the ground.
"This... this..." Patriarch Liu involuntarily swallowed his saliva before asking his friend, "Is this the Daoist Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple you told me about?"
The old Envoy nodded in reply, "Indeed, this is Daoist Fan Wu, as I mentioned to you."
Patriarch Liu: "Hiss!!!!"
Any trace of displeasure Patriarch Liu had felt due to Fan Wu and the others’ sudden intrusion evaporated in that instant.
He didn’t dare allow any such emotion to surface, afraid that it might be perceived by Fan Wu, bringing misfortune upon the Liu Family.
At this moment, he felt a pain in his heart, knowing it was due to the extreme ups and downs of his emotions.
Striving to calm his thoughts, Patriarch Liu’s face suddenly bloomed with an exceedingly radiant smile, which even had a hint of obsequiousness.
"So it is the illustrious Daoist Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple who graces us with his presence!" Patriarch Liu exclaimed with fervent enthusiasm, "Ah, Liu Feng, you lad, why didn’t you mention earlier that you knew Daoist Fan Wu? If you had let me know in advance, I would have certainly reserved a table to invite Daoist Fan Wu to a banquet to maintain proper etiquette!"
Liu Feng: "...Uh."
Liu Feng felt... that the Patriarch was acting a bit odd, with a hint of ingratiating intent.
Could it be because Daoist Fan Wu’s fame had already spread to the Imperial City of the Great Yan Dynasty?
Could it be that they arrived at the Great Yan Imperial City slower than the spread of rumors?
Liu Feng was utterly perplexed.
All he could do was to awkwardly scratch his head.
At that moment.
The old Envoy continued, "To think that after so many years, I would have the chance to meet Daoist Priest Fan again. May I ask if Daoist Priest Fan has ever slain an Evil God within the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty?"
"Indeed, I have slain an Evil God," Fan Wu responded.
Although The Great Revered One was an Evil God of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had ventured into the Great Yan Dynasty and was dealt with by Fan Wu.
"Ah... truly a young prodigy, indeed a peerless genius!" the old Envoy expressed his sincere admiration, "I must also thank you for the mercy you showed us at Nanjun Prefecture Government."
Fan Wu smiled and said, "That was merely a sparring match sparked by interest; there was no need for hostility and violence."
"Cough cough!" The old Envoy cleared his throat slightly, his tone containing a bit of inquiry mixed with curiosity and caution as he asked, "May I ask what important matters bring Daoist Fan Wu to the Great Yan Dynasty?"
Having asked this, he quickly added another statement: "I am merely... driven by a bit of curiosity within my heart." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Clearly, he was terrified of any misunderstanding from Fan Wu, lest he would be considered an enemy.
