Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 211 - 122: The Mad Commandery Prince! The True Martial Great Emperor Who Left a Deep Impression on Fan Wu! (A 10,000-word Mega - , Please Subscribe)_6
The two government officials had not paid much attention at first.
But after a closer look,
they were instantly shocked!
"It’s the Magistrate’s Iron Token!" one of the government officials exclaimed, "To see this Iron Token is to see the Magistrate himself! With this token, one may enter any strictly prohibited areas within the Prefecture!"
Their gazes toward Yun Jiuqing changed, as if they were looking at someone of enormous importance, mightier than the heavens themselves.
They no longer stopped Fan Wu.
They no longer stopped Yun Jiuqing either.
They let the two of them go in.
Watching the backs of Fan Wu and Yun Jiuqing as they went deeper inside the county government office, one of the slightly off-key officials wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, sighing in relief, "What bad luck have I run into today, bumping into two people who are both so extraordinary?"
"That tall guy who isn’t wearing a Daoist robe, he feels like a murderous demon... like one of those Imperial Court wanted criminals who has hundreds of lives on his hands!"
"And that one who looks like a young master, actually carries the Magistrate’s Iron Token in his hand!"
"I heard that even our boss doesn’t have this Iron Token!"
The more serious official let out a breath of relief, shook his head, and replied, "Our boss is just an arrest officer of Nanjun Prefecture. In the Prefecture’s government office, there are dozens of arrest officers like him, if not a hundred."
"If our boss could get the Magistrate’s Iron Token, then this Iron Token wouldn’t be anything special."
"Hiss, you’re right..." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"..."
...
While the two government officials outside were still in their shocked conversation,
Yun Jiuqing had already taken Fan Wu into the intricately laid-out government office, heading towards the place where the Magistrate usually stayed.
Within the office of Nanjun Prefecture, Yun Jiuqing acted as if she had returned home, familiar with every part of it.
Yet, both of them were out of place there.
After all, the office was filled with either busy officials, constables coming and going, or the like.
The appearance of Fan Wu and Yun Jiuqing was too conspicuous.
However, not a single person stopped them to inquire. They just looked at them curiously, then no longer paid attention and went about their business.
"We’re here!"
It had to be said that the Prefecture’s government office was much larger than those of the county towns... After walking for quite a while, Yun Jiuqing finally stopped, pointing at a building in front of them and said, "It’s right ahead!"
"I remember when I was a child, I even peed here... cough cough cough!" Suddenly realizing she had mentioned a childhood secret she shouldn’t have, Yun Jiuqing immediately shut her mouth and covered the embarrassment with a cough.
At the same time, she was also extremely curious.
What kind of relationship did Daoist Priest Fan’s master have with her mother?
Yun Jiuqing truly didn’t expect...
that there was such a connection between herself and Daoist Priest Fan.
With a very complex train of thought, she took a deep breath, approached the large door of the building ahead.
Before the people inside could speak,
Yun Jiuqing took the lead, "Dad! I’ve come back from Yinghe Prefecture!"
Bang!
As if a gust of wind had swept through, the large door was pushed open by an invisible hand. Fortunately, Yun Jiuqing had anticipated this and quickly stepped back. Otherwise, the thick door would have sent her flying.
She had learned from experience.
Then,
a voice came from inside, full-throated and authoritative, holding an air of superiority. The restrained fury in the tone could just about be discerned, "You crazy girl, you actually remember to come back to Nanjun Prefecture!?"
The speaker was a middle-aged man in official robes, his appearance not very similar to Yun Jiuqing’s. His entire presence exuded a unique aura, indicating at a glance that he was extraordinary.
If an average person were to stand before this middle-aged man, they would likely feel so pressured by his presence that they couldn’t even lift their heads.
Yun Jiuqing muttered, "I’ve only been gone for a little over half a month... It’s not that big of a deal. Besides, I’ve come back, haven’t I?"
"A little over half a month? Not a big deal?" Yun Shouji’s voice rose several levels, his already stern face looking even more severe as he put down the brush in his hand and lifted his head, his eyes locking onto Yun Jiuqing outside the door.
Result.
The first person he saw was not Yun Jiuqing.
Instead, it was Fan Wu!
There was no way around it, Fan Wu’s towering stature was far taller than Yun Jiuqing’s. At most, Yun Jiuqing reached just a bit above Fan Wu’s waist, which made Fan Wu stand out even more.
Only then did Yun Shouji’s gaze drift downward to see his rebellious daughter.
All of a sudden, he realized...
So his daughter
was this short!
No, that’s not right!
He immediately came to his senses, it wasn’t that his daughter was too short, but that the person behind her was too tall.
Yun Shouji’s brow furrowed deeply.
His intuition was telling him clearly—this man was very dangerous!!
This instinct surged up.
And it struck him as very odd.
Keep in mind... Yun Shouji, as the esteemed governor of the Great Zhou’s Nanjun Prefecture Government and as well as a cultivator, didn’t think he would be in the top ten in the prefecture when it came to cultivation, but being in the top twenty was definitely no issue.
Furthermore, as a second-rank official of the Imperial Court, imbued with the protective fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if he encountered some of the more common demons and devils, he could face them fearlessly.
And yet, when he looked this man in the eyes.
He felt an inexplicable sense of crisis!
"Who might this be?" Yun Shouji ignored his own daughter, his question naturally directed to Fan Wu.
"A Taoist from Qiulong Temple, Fan Wu," Fan Wu replied.
"Qiulong Temple... Qiulong Temple?" Yun Shouji’s face displayed a hint of shock, his question uncertain: "Yinghe Prefecture, Qiulong County, Qiulong Temple?!"
Fan Wu nodded: "Precisely."
"What relation is Fan Er to you?" Yun Shouji asked again.
"My master," Fan Wu answered.
Yun Shouji gave a look that said "are you kidding me," and with a mixture of shock and doubt, he said, "That fellow who’s been cooped up in Qiulong County all this time and refused to come out... He has a disciple like you?"
"My father-in-law?!" Before Fan Wu could respond, Yun Jiuqing had already cried out in utter shock.
Yun Jiuqing asked in astonishment, "Father, you’re saying that Daoist Priest Fan’s master is your father-in-law? I don’t seem to recall mother ever mentioning I had a grandfather!"
Yun Shouji paid no heed to his daughter.
He was still looking at Fan Wu.
"I am indeed his disciple, the real deal," Fan Wu felt that given the governor’s current reaction, he must also be aware that his bargain Taoist master was a charlatan.
He drew a letter from his robe, flicked it with his finger, and it spun rapidly through the air towards Yun Shouji.
The letter stopped right before it reached Yun Shouji.
It hovered motionless in mid-air.
Yun Shouji reached out and pinched the letter, observing the characters on the seal. He asked, "Why didn’t my father-in-law come in person?"
"He passed away," said Fan Wu.
Yun Shouji was taken aback, then after a moment of silence, he sighed: "His age was indeed not small. I didn’t expect... alas! Is he buried in Qiulong County? When spring comes next year, I will bring my wife and daughter to visit him."
It seemed that Fan Wu thought of something that had been troubling him, and so he added, "The fortune he spent half his life accumulating has also been taken away."
"...By whom?" Yun Shouji’s eyes flashed with indignation.
Although he knew his father-in-law was very peculiar, after all, he was his father-in-law. The man barely saw his daughter during his life, and his belongings were seized after his death? What kind of villain would be so audacious?!!
How could Yun Shouji tolerate this?!
"The True Martial Great Emperor."
Fan Wu answered.
"???"
