Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 883 - 239: Sparring with Fan Wu? Both Are Wanted Criminals!_3
"Have you ever thought that someone might be using us?" Yu Dalong, appearing out of nowhere, dragged a chair over to where Fan Wu and the others were sitting and plopped down on it.
He crossed his arms over his chest and cocked his leg in a casual manner—it was clear from his bulging forearm muscles that they could be the result of training or perhaps a natural gift.
"But... that leads to another question: who would want to make use of us brothers? If someone had the means to bewitch us, why target the State Preceptor?"
"In fact, we didn’t even have the ability to get close enough to kill the State Preceptor, so who would be so foolish to set their sights on us? Why wouldn’t they manipulate someone more powerful?"
"After all... if they wanted to take down that demon State Preceptor, they must have a profound understanding of him. With such an understanding, why would they use such a futile and foolish strategy?"
In comparison to his brother Yu Dahai, Yu Dalong seemed to have slightly more brains, though not by much.
From his few sentences, it was evident that while he could ponder some problems, his thought process was very rigid.
Yu Dalong paused for a moment before continuing, "Whether we’re being manipulated or not doesn’t matter anymore. The situation has already developed to this stage, and we brothers have long decided to uncover the true face of the State Preceptor."
"No matter what, we will peel off that mask from him and let everyone see what he really looks like!"
These words had the entire inn’s patrons rolling their eyes; they all thought there was definitely something wrong with the brothers’ brains. A serious problem.
And those out-of-towners must have the patience of saints to listen to such nonsense for so long!
That is, if it weren’t for the fact that they couldn’t beat these two brutes.
Given the Shangwu Dynasty’s fierce reputation,
a brawl would have already broken out in the inn.
Or rather, they might have tried to fight already.
But... they had been taught a lesson.
Now, they dared not make a move.
Because they understood the gap between them.
While the expressions of the patrons in the inn varied, they suddenly heard one of the tall out-of-towners say, "Since you claim that the Shangwu Dynasty’s State Preceptor is a demon in disguise, and since you’re still irate and want to expose his true identity..."
Fan Wu’s face broke into a smile. He was very interested in the so-called demon State Preceptor, especially since he was going to the Imperial City of the Shangwu Dynasty—it suited his plans perfectly.
He continued, "Then how about you prepare to return to the Imperial City of the Shangwu Dynasty? Take me along to see for myself what kind of monstrosity your dynasty’s State Preceptor is. What do you think of my proposition?"
Speaking calmly, Fan Wu made his proposal, causing everyone in the inn to freeze. Every pair of eyes focused on him, each face filled with incredulity.
Nobody expected an outsider on Shangwu Dynasty’s territory to utter such words. Wasn’t the old man’s warning earlier not enough?
Was this fellow really going along with the nonsense these two brutes spewed? Could he actually believe what the brothers had said?
Even Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu, the brothers sitting next to Fan Wu, were stunned, as they too did not expect him to say such a thing.
Yan Dahu, with his big beard, lost the drunkenness in his eyes. Clearly, this stubborn fellow had some cunning—he had been pretending to be drunk!
Fan Wu’s words made it hard for the typically single-minded Yan Dahu to keep pretending. He couldn’t help scratching his head, his face a picture of amazement: "You’re saying, you want to go to the Imperial City? To see that damned State Preceptor?"
Fan Wu nodded and replied, "Yes, that’s the intention."
"Wow!" Yan Dahu gasped, shock mixed with a hint of excitement, and then hurriedly asked Fan Wu, "So, you believe what we brothers just said?"
"I believe a bit of it," Fan Wu said with a smile.
"Great! Great! Great!" Unable to contain himself, Yan Dahu said ’great’ three times, laughing heartily, "Hahaha! I knew I wasn’t wrong about you, brother... you’re really something! You’re more interesting than anyone else in this inn, more awake to the truth than all of them! Hahahahaha!" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Within this animated laughter, there was a touch of emotion, suggesting the hardships the brothers must have faced on their disgraceful flight, enduring mockery and ridicule.
"So, brother, you’re heading to the Imperial City of the Shangwu Dynasty?" Compared to the excited Yan Dahu, Yan Dalong, the elder of the two, was a bit more composed.
