Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 809 - 225: The Girl and the Demon Venerable! Fan Wu’s Assault!_3
The old envoy continued, "Perhaps this is just a coincidence, you need not worry too much."
Patriarch Liu gave a wry smile, "How can I possibly control this kind of anxiety?"
After all, he was the head of the family, and every aspect of the family needed his management. Whenever the family faced any risks, it was up to him to find solutions.
Patriarch Liu had never expected that after finally establishing a connection with the Xiang Family of the Shangwu Dynasty, it would involve a Demon named San Qing Supreme Demon.
In that case, weren’t his efforts to establish that relationship in vain?
Had he respectfully treated those people from the Xiang Family for nothing?
Oh, that’s not right.
It wasn’t for nothing, since such a relationship had gotten him into trouble.
Damn!
It might as well have been for nothing!
"Daoist Priest Fan! Daoist Priest Fan!" Patriarch Liu had already stood up because he felt that if Daoist Fan Wu did not sit, he had no right to sit either.
At that moment, the look Patriarch Liu gave Daoist Fan Wu was like looking at a lifeline.
It was as if he saw a savior who could pull the Liu Family up by their roots!
Patriarch Liu hurriedly said, "Daoist Fan Wu, do you have a way to pull the Liu Family out of this mire? If you would lend the Liu Family a hand, from now on, whatever you ask, the Liu Family will brave any danger to fulfill it!"
He knew that in such a situation, he had to grasp the lifeline quickly, even if it meant sacrificing a lot of benefits.
After all, if he didn’t grab a lifeline quickly, what if the Liu Family were to fall apart?
By then, he felt that even if he died, the ancestors would beat him up!
If something catastrophic were to happen to the Liu Family under his watch...
He wouldn’t have the face to meet the ancestors in the Underworld!
"Once, the group of people who stayed at your Liu Family, where are they now?" Daoist Fan Wu asked.
Ordinarily, Patriarch Liu would not answer such a question, but realizing that the relationship with the Xiang Family was somewhat fishy, Patriarch Liu panicked.
Especially since the person revealing the truth to him was Daoist Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple, his panic intensified.
Patriarch Liu quickly answered, "They left the Liu Family more than twenty days ago, and as far as I know... their purpose in coming to the Great Yan Dynasty was to establish a new trade route. They need the local aristocratic families of the Great Yan Dynasty to collaborate for the trade route to be successfully established."
"I remember..." Patriarch Liu pondered for a while before continuing, "They probably wanted to search for the Situ Family in the Imperial City of the Great Yan Dynasty."
"After all, the Situ Family, among the top aristocratic families in the Imperial City, has the strongest maritime trade capabilities. It is said that they own hundreds of merchant ships along the coast."
To ensure Daoist Fan Wu and others understood, he specifically explained, "The meaning of a hundred-man merchant ship is that one ship can accommodate up to a hundred sailors."
"Since there is a strait separating the Great Yan Dynasty and the Commerce Dynasty, the Xiang Family’s intention to open up new trade routes between the two dynasties definitely involves cooperation with maritime merchants."
"And, I also heard that the Situ Family indeed seems to be hosting a group of special guests recently."
"Great Yan Dynasty, the Situ Family." Daoist Fan Wu murmured about this imperial city family and then asked again, "To find this Situ Family... where should I go?"
Patriarch Liu swallowed nervously, "The Situ Family’s residence is in the core area of the dynasty, near... close to the Imperial Palace."
His intention was to advise Daoist Fan Wu not to interfere with the Situ Family so close to the Imperial Palace.
After all, that was literally under the Emperor’s nose!
Taking action against an aristocratic family in such a place...
Would be utterly shocking!
By then... even the current Emperor might be alarmed!
"Where is the Situ Family?" Daoist Fan Wu, not heeding Patriarch Liu’s roundabout warnings, asked the question again, which he had already asked once.
Patriarch Liu took a deep breath and could do nothing but helplessly disclose a location, which indeed was the residence of the Situ Family.
"Good!" Daoist Fan Wu nodded, "To find out if that group of people is related to the San Qing Supreme Demon, just one look will suffice."
With that, Daoist Fan Wu abruptly turned and left.
After all, to Daoist Fan Wu, Free Attribute Points were far more important.
Anyway, it was still daylight, so why not go and have a look!
Seeing Daoist Fan Wu turn to leave, Yun Jiuqing and the others hurriedly, scampering behind him.
Thus.
Within such a structure, once again only Patriarch Liu and the old envoy remained.
Two elderly men with silvery white hair could not help but exchange glances at this moment, both clearly seeing the shock written on each other’s faces.
After a long silence, Patriarch Liu, seemingly drained of energy, sat down on the chair.
He turned to the old envoy beside him and then asked, "If Daoist Fan Wu really finds something amiss inside the Situ Family... surely he won’t really take action under broad daylight... even right under the Emperor’s watch, against such a top imperial city aristocratic family as the Situ Family?"
