Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 934 - 248: The Name of Fan Wu Slaying the Evil God Spreads Throughout the Shangwu Dynasty!_5

It turned out that he had actually narrowly escaped death a moment ago, and it was only now that he had come to realize this? Wait! If Daoist Fan Wu could discern the true nature of a person at a glance, then after he went to the Imperial City of the Shangwu Dynasty, would he be able to effortlessly debunk the rumors spread by the brothers Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu? After all, their claims that the National Master was one of the Demons and Devils were indeed far-fetched.

However, as this thought surfaced in his mind, another idea emerged—what if Daoist Fan Wu did see through the National Master and discovered that Yan Dalong and Yan Dahu were not spouting nonsense, that the so-called rumors they spread were actually true... Hiss! Wait! Wait, why would such a thought occur to him?

Although he had had limited contact with the National Master, in Bai Sheng’s memory, his father held the National Master in high regard. And since his father was the Family Head of the Bai Family in the Imperial City, how could a national preceptor trusted by the head of the Bai Family possibly be problematic? It couldn’t be that his father was also deceived, could it?

Once such a daring thought popped up, it spread like wildfire and could not be contained. The uncontrollable thoughts made Bai Sheng’s expression incredibly vivid. Even his tone of speaking became somewhat uncertain, "The National Master has been serving the country and its people for years, how could he possibly be one of the Demons and Devils? There must be some kind of misunderstanding here."

Then, he added, "Even if the National Master really is one of the Demons and Devils... Ah! No, no! Perhaps, I had too much to drink tonight. The alcohol has made me a bit tipsy. I’ve started talking nonsense, I must be drunk, yes... definitely drunk."

At this point, Bai Sheng could only use his drunkenness to cover the unease in his heart. Then, he noticed that several people around him were looking at him. Such gazes made him feel pressured, so he mustered the courage to state, "The National Master should not be one of the Demons and Devils."

"Heh, you, a young scion of the Bai Family of the Imperial City, can only repeat that same line! Who knows what kind of enchantment that damned National Master has cast on you fellows," Yan Dalong said disdainfully, "Let’s not talk about anything else, just consider the possibility! If he really were one of the Demons and Devils, what would you do?"

The question thrown at him by Yan Dalong was utterly fatal, akin to having to decide whom to save if one’s wife and mother-in-law both fell into the water. Normally, Bai Sheng would not answer such a life-threatening question.

But now, under the gaze of so many people, even under the scrutiny of an Earth Deity and a Taoist Priest capable of slaying the Evil God and given the fact that he had consumed a bit of alcohol, with his brain slightly dizzy,

he hesitantly answered, "If it turns out that the National Master really is one of the Demons and Devils. Perhaps our Bai Family could help expose his hidden conspiracies within the Shangwu Dynasty, revealing his schemes to the world..."

"Hahaha! Good!" Yan Dalong slapped Bai Sheng’s back hard, the force of which nearly knocked Bai Sheng to the ground, but he quickly steadied himself.

Yan Dalong laughed heartily, "You’ve got some courage, boy! A man’s word is his bond, and even fast horses cannot overtake it. You must remember what you said today."

"If you forget what you said today when that time comes," Yan Dalong sneered with a grimace, "even if it costs me my life, I will twist your head off!"

Bai Sheng suddenly felt a chill around his neck and realized that he might have misspoken.

He seemed to have fallen into Yan Dalong’s verbal trap and inadvertently allowed himself to be manipulated by the other’s words.

Bai Sheng’s expression was priceless, never expecting that a few mere glasses of alcohol could have made him so careless!

But... it didn’t seem to have actually fallen into a trap.

After all, how could the National Master possibly be one of the Demons and Devils?

Perhaps?

No!

There’s no ’perhaps’ in this matter!

...

The next day.

In the group headed for the Imperial City of the Shangwu Dynasty, another person joined in, quite evidently pulled in halfway by Bai Sheng. While it wasn’t exactly a forceful inclusion, merely a small promise, he could have backed out. However, Bai Sheng did not regret his decision, and whether he was keeping his promise or just wanted to stay close to Fan Wu to see if there was anything special about him, one couldn’t be certain.

They had already left Lingchen County, but not long after their departure, Lingchen County found itself in a sensation over the deeds they had done. Precisely speaking... it was due to what Fan Wu had done that night. Initially, the rumors about slaying the Evil God started with the Earth Deity having done it. However, this rumor was debunked by the Earth Deity of Lingchen County, who revealed himself. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Yes, to prevent such a rumor from continuing to spread, the Earth Deity of Lingchen County didn’t hesitate to give up the mystique of being a deity and showed himself to put an end to it. Because He hadn’t actually slain the Evil God, it was Daoist Fan Wu of the Qiulong Temple who had done it. What if He stole the credit from Daoist Fan Wu, and what if Daoist Fan Wu cared deeply about this matter?
