Chapter 214 - 213 Waiting for a Surprise i



Cultivators pay no heed to the affairs of commoners, which Gu Biyue understood all too well.

Yet, when such a major incident occurred, a cultivator’s intervention could have easily resolved it, leaving her somewhat unwilling to let commoners fend for themselves.

“Didn’t that arrest officer set upon the path of cultivation? That’s no longer a matter concerning commoners,” Gu Biyue remarked.

Jiang Fan shook his head with a wry smile, “What difference does it make? I’ve become a scapegoat. Who would believe my words?”

“Huh? You’re alive and kicking already? What’s going on?” Gu Bikong’s voice came from outside.

The next second, Gu Bikong swept into the dilapidated temple, a bit out of breath, “I’ve led those officers away; they won’t come here for a while.”

Jiang Fan’s eyes widened in surprise; when Gu Bikong arrived earlier, his speed was astonishing, clearly not that of a commoner.

Collecting his thoughts, Jiang Fan again offered his thanks, “I am Jiang Fan, many thanks to the Upper Immortal for the rescue.”

“Upper Immortal?” Gu Bikong reacted exactly like Gu Biyue had.

Taken aback, Gu Bikong sized up Jiang Fan, “Stop joking. In a blink of an eye, you’ve come back to life; you’re the Upper Immortal.”

Such a rapid recovery, in Gu Bikong’s view, must undoubtedly be the work of a powerful cultivator.

“Brother, I administered the Life Immortal Liquid bestowed upon us by our master,” Gu Biyue said.

Gu Bikong was dumbfounded, “The whole bottle? And he didn’t explode from it but was instead revived?”

Gu Bikong, endowed with the Nirvana Holy Body, could vividly sense the terrifying power of the Life Immortal Liquid. For a commoner, even a drop would be too much to handle.

Let alone commoners, even with his current level of cultivation, he couldn’t withstand the power of a single drop.

Yet Jiang Fan had endured the potency of an entire bottle.

This made Gu Bikong deeply suspicious.

After looking around, Gu Bikong changed the subject, “What about that white cloth? That cloth is extraordinary!”

“Brother, how do you know that cloth is extraordinary? Let me tell you, that cloth flew away on its own!” Gu Bikong said in surprise.

Gu Bikong was stunned; he had mentioned it casually merely as a diversion.

But judging from his sister’s reaction, the cloth had indeed flown away!

Clearing his throat, Gu Bikong said, “If it flew away, then it flew away. It’s no big deal. Jiang Fan, you can’t go back to the Yamen now, so why not come with us to Sixty-nine district and figure something out?”

Jiang Fan pondered, then shook his head, “District Seventy-three will surely have issued a warrant for my arrest by now, I can’t enter the city.”

“I plan to find my colleagues and explain the situation to them so that they can guard against the arrest officer.”

Jiang Fan’s words left Gu Bikong and his sister somewhat speechless. Gu Bikong said, “Your colleagues are out for blood. They’ll definitely attack on sight, not listen to your explanations.”

Changing his tone, Jiang Fan said, “If I were you, I’d seek mentorship and learn. Once you become a cultivator, what’s an arrest officer to you but a mere ant?”

“Exactly, Jiang Fan. When you have strength, you won’t have to worry about these conspiracies and tricks,” Gu Biyue also encouraged.

Jiang Fan gave a bitter smile, “I have no talent for cultivation.”

“Impossible!” Gu Bikong slapped Jiang Fan on the shoulder, “I do have some discernment. Trust me, you are a genius!”

In the courtyard, Li Cheng and Immortal Emperor Tianyuan exchanged a glance. Tianyuan said, “How did your seventh disciple discern that Jiang Fan is a genius?”

“Perhaps he believes that since Jiang Fan could endure the potency of an entire bottle of Life Immortal Liquid, he must be extraordinary,” Li Cheng responded.

“Well, he inadvertently made the right guess,” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan chuckled.

“Brother Jiang, come with me. I will take you to my master. He will surely enable you to cultivate!” Gu Bikong urged again.

A look of hope appeared in Jiang Fan’s eyes. Having lived in South Mysterious City for years, witnessing cultivators flying through the skies daily, which commoner wasn’t envious?

It would be wonderful to be able to cultivate.

“What if I truly can’t cultivate, won’t I cause trouble for you?” Jiang Fan asked after hesitating.

Gu Bikong shook his head, “My master is extremely generous with us, and he’s very approachable. You have nothing to worry about.”

Seeing the siblings’ insistence, Jiang Fan couldn’t help but chuckle, cupped his fist, and said, “Then I shall impose!”

In the courtyard, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan smiled, “Okay then, the seventh disciple has brought the eighth disciple.”

Li Cheng also smiled; that kid Gu Bikong had stumbled onto the right path.

Well, then let’s wait for them to come!

“Wanted posters for Jiang Fan have been plastered at all the city gates. How do you think they’ll manage to enter the city?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan continued.

“Gu Bikong is pretty clever; I’m curious to see what method he’ll use.”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan pondered, “How about we withdraw our Immortal Sense and wait for the surprise?”

Li Cheng slightly frowned, “If those two kids fail, it’s bound to cause quite a stir. By then, it might turn into a scare rather than a surprise….”

” What’s there to fear? The people in the Inner City won’t care about the turmoil in the Outer City.”

Li Cheng shrugged and was the first to withdraw his Immortal Sense.

Before long, the brother and sister returned to the courtyard.

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan concealed himself; the duo couldn’t see him, unaware that he wore a look of utter amazement at the moment.

Li Cheng examined the two of them from top to bottom. Where was Jiang Fan?

It seemed their method was quite clever; even he hadn’t detected where Jiang Fan was. Or was it that they didn’t bring him into the city?

“Disciple pays respect to Master!”

Seeing Li Cheng in the courtyard, both of them were overjoyed and hurriedly bent down to salute.

Li Cheng nodded slightly, waiting for what they would say next.

Sure enough, Gu Bikong took quick steps forward and said with a grin, “Master, I have good news!”

“Oh? Let’s hear it.” At this point, Li Cheng could only pretend he was unaware of the matter with Jiang Fan.

Gu Bikong chuckled, and with a flip of his hand, Jiang Fan appeared at his side.

“Master, this brother here is called Jiang Fan. We met him outside the city. Seeing that he had nowhere to go, we brought him back…”

Pausing, Gu Bikong added, “Brother Jiang Fan is quite the genius….”

Li Cheng raised his hand to interrupt Gu Bikong, as a million of those creatures galloped through his mind!

Heavens!

What kind of disciple was this? Didn’t he know that a storage ring couldn’t contain a living person?

What was more astonishing was that Jiang Fan, staying inside the storage ring, seemed to be unharmed?

Li Cheng turned to glance at Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, who wore a stupefied expression; clearly, he was also immensely shocked.

“Li Cheng, this member of the Chaos Clan… truly is no ordinary being!”

Li Cheng’s mouth twitched, and he sent a telepathic message, “Putting living creatures into a storage ring only results in two outcomes: either the ring explodes, or the creature dies. Jiang Fan entering the storage ring without any issues; could it be because of the Corpse-wrapping Cloth?”

Li Cheng could sense that Jiang Fan was carrying the aura of the Corpse­wrapping Cloth.

“Probably, but you should still remind your disciple, or else if they do it again in the future, they’re likely to cause a fatality,” the Immortal Emperor Tianyuan said with a wry smile.

Li Cheng gave a light cough, “Gu Bikong, did the cultivation knowledge I provided you include the usage of storage artifacts?”

Gu Bikong quickly nodded, “Yes, Master. You are asking about how Jiang Fan could enter the storage ring, aren’t you? It’s like this; Brother Jiang Fan has learned the Turtle Breath Technique. He tried just now and can enter a state of suspended animation, so his disciple boldly guessed he could enter the storage ring.”

Li Cheng and Immortal Emperor Tianyuan were both speechless. What suspended animation? It was simply because Jiang Fan had been exposed to the aura of the Corpse-wrapping Cloth.

If it was anyone else, even entering in a state of feigned death would result in actual death!

Not mentioning this matter again, Li Cheng turned to Jiang Fan, “Jiang Fan, since that arrest officer from the Yamen has embarked on the path of cultivation, so can you. Once your cultivation surpasses his, you can do as you please.”

Upon hearing this, all three were stunned. Indeed, their Master was mighty, knowing even this!
