Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 884 - 239: Sparring with Fan Wu? Both Are Wanted Criminals!_4
He couldn’t help but ask, "Is there really not a single person who is willing to believe what we two brothers have said? Why then, Brother, do you choose to believe us?"
"Instinct," Fan Wu smiled as he spoke, "Of course, that’s just one of the reasons. Another reason is that I, this poor priest, do not hold much respect for your Dynasty’s State Preceptor."
"As for whether or not he is a Demons and Devils, that does not ignite my anger; it merely piques my curiosity about him."
Fan Wu was being incredibly honest with his words.
"This Brother... you mean to say that you are not interested in the State Preceptor, but you find Demons and Devils intriguing?" Yan Dalong asked curiously.
"Exactly," Fan Wu replied with a smile.
"Brother, aren’t you afraid? I presume you aren’t the sort of person who acts without thinking. Are you aware that if you associate with us two brothers... you might also be considered an outlaw by the Imperial Court? And not the usual kind of outlaw, but the sort that has whole armies sent to pursue."
Yan Dalong spoke with a heavy expression, "If we brothers bring you to the Imperial City, it would mean that all of you have become enemies of the Shangwu Dynasty’s Imperial Court. By then, I’m afraid there might even be a bounty on your heads."
"No matter, I have long been wanted by the neighboring Great Yan Dynasty with a bounty of a thousand taels of Silver. Becoming an outlaw once more in the Shangwu Dynasty doesn’t bother me much." Fan Wu’s casual statement left the brothers dumbstruck.
Well, I’ll be!
No wonder this Brother... showed no sign of fear when facing them. Facing the possibility of being an enemy of an entire Imperial Court seemed to not bother him at all. It turned out that like them, he was also a wanted criminal, only sought after by a different Dynasty.
At that moment, a diner inside the inn was equally shaken up upon realizing that these foreigners were outlaws from a neighboring country. No wonder they were so bold as to converse with these two madmen, even listening to their crazy talk!
It appeared that this group of foreigners was no better! Though in the Shangwu Dynasty, a place with such fierce民风, it seemed there weren’t too many... well, that was that.
Noticing how the two brothers... gazed at their group with a mix of shock and confusion, Yun Jiuqing appropriately interjected, explaining why they were wanted by the Great Yan Dynasty.
She described the events that had unfolded within the Great Yan Dynasty using very succinct sentences.
Of course, Yun Jiuqing did not disclose everything; she only shared why they were being hunted.
Her explanation led the two brothers to a sudden realization.
"Good work! Well killed! Those Holy Fire Guards deserved it for what they did! Even I would have wiped them out had I encountered such a situation. Besides, this Brother did not to exterminate his enemies to the last."
Yan Dahu pounded the table in applause but was also indignant as if feeling empathy, "Even without wiping those fellows out completely, they still respond with ingratitude. Damn officials!"
Yan Dahu thumped his chest, causing his robust torso to resound with loud thumps, "Brother, rest assured, since you are not afraid of being wanted by a Dynasty again, and since you are not afraid of being implicated by us brothers, we are not going to be pushovers! We are going to make sure to get you into the Imperial City!"
"Brother, am I right?" Yan Dahu looked toward his troubled-looking elder brother.
Yan Dalong’s mouth twitched slightly, a bit more thoughtful than his brother. He said helplessly, "With our current situation, getting back to the Imperial City is already fraught with difficulty."
He didn’t spell out the full thought, but the implication was clear—they couldn’t act as bodyguards for Fan Wu and the others.
Yan Dahu frowned in displeasure, "Brother, why have you become so fussy? It’s rare to find people who believe us, and even these people trust us. Don’t you trust them?"
"Idiot!" Yan Dalong replied with a scowl, "Don’t you realize how many perils we’ve faced just getting away from the Imperial City? If we try to go back, we’ll probably face all that danger again, and it could be even more perilous! We might not fear death, but what if we cause harm to others?"
"Ah? Oh!!" Yan Dahu initially looked perplexed, then came to a sudden understanding.
He scratched his head awkwardly.
Then he said to Fan Wu, "Brother, perhaps you should think this over once more. After all, this is a life-threatening matter. If we’re not careful, we could lose our lives on the way. Are you sure you can handle such danger?"
Yan Dahu, who was a straightforward thinker, didn’t mean to sound disdainful; he was just speaking blatantly.
"Do you think we’ll slow you down?" Fan Wu asked with a smile.
"No, no, definitely not!" Yan Dahu quickly insisted, "We two brothers aren’t like that!"
"Rest assured," Fan Wu said, "I myself possess a little Power. Facing some common dangers, I should be able to handle them without finding myself in a passive situation."
