Chapter 143: Respect towards the Strong
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Yan Xiu was climbing up the tree when he suddenly felt the light above him was blocked out.
When he looked up, he saw Fang Zhengzhi tumbling towards him, screaming that he had seen a ghost...
”Ghost?” Yan Xiu did not quite believe it. He was more willing to believe the existence of gods because gods were the stronger of the two.
However, he calmly extended a hand to catch Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi, who was grabbed by the arm, dangled in midair. This was slightly embarrassing for him, after all, he was a pinnacle Star Conglomerate expert.
Falling from a tree?
How humiliating.
However, upon thinking about what he had just seen, he still felt extremely unsettled. After all, he would much rather see beasts in the Heavenly Treasure Hall than humans.
Furthermore, this was a lady.
Only 10 people from the Divine Constabulary had made the trip into the Heavenly Treasure Hall. Other than himself and Yan Xiu, there was only Lu Yusheng and his seven lackeys.
Without considering the fact that Lu Yusheng and his group were behind.
Was Lu Yusheng a lady?
Evidently not.
His seven followers were also not ladies.
So where did this lady come from?
Even if there were unknown life forms in the parallel dimension, there shouldn't be a lady?
Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu and motioned for him to let go. Then, he tiptoed on a branch and scurried to the top once again.
Within a few moves, he was back at his vantage point.
He looked out again...
The lady was all but gone. All that was left were some ripples on the otherwise calm water surface.
”Gone?” Fang Zhengzhi was quite confused. He was sure that his eyes were not playing tricks on him. He was not hallucinating, but, where did that lady go?
When he thought of the elegant, dainty lady dancing on the water, he suddenly felt...
A sense of familiarity towards this figure.
However, he could not be sure. When he had seen the scene, he had been too flustered and shocked to take a good look.
At this point, Yan Xiu was already by Fang Zhengzhi's side and he followed Zhengzhi's gaze to the lake.
”There's a lake ahead.”
”Mm.”
”Where's the ghost that you were shouting about?”
”Would you believe me if I told you it disappeared?”
”No!”
Fang Zhengzhi was speechless. Yan Xiu had always trusted him. Even when I asked him to follow my techniques before this, he had trusted me.
Why doesn't he believe me now?
”Because, there is no such thing as ghosts!” Yan Xiu replied confidently.
”Did your grandfather tell you that?”
”Confucius said, don't use words to judge and talk about ghosts and gods.”
”This sentence is telling one to keep a distance from ghosts and gods, reminding us not to revere them. What does this have to do with the existence of ghosts?” Fang Zhengzhi was curious about Yan Xiu's choice of description.
”If you're righteous, you will have no demons!” Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhi seriously.
”But I just saw a lady dancing on the surface of the river. Do you believe that?” Fang Zhengzhi did not debate this any further. He decided to just state the facts.
”I believe!”
”...” Fang Zhengzhi was speechless, ”Didn't you just say you didn't believe it?”
”I believe that you saw a dancing lady on the lake, but, I don't believe that she's a ghost!” Yan Xiu explain.
”But how can there be another lady in this parallel dimension?”
”That's why, we must go check it out.”
Fang Zhengzhi did not reply immediately, instead, he thought about the scene just now. That sense of familiarity would be unlikely to strike him again right?
”Come, let's go take a look!” Fang Zhengzhi said with determination.
”Okay!”
The two of them jumped off the tree and landed below. Just as they prepared to walk to the lake, Fang Zhengzhi stopped, almost as if he thought of something.
”Should we let Lu Yusheng and the others take point?”
”No matter what, Lu Yusheng is already in the Heavenly Reflection state. I think we should be more careful when dealing with experts like that!” Yan Xiu said calmly.
”And so?”
”We can go survey the lake first and set up a few traps. Then, we can hide.” Yan Xiu said calmly.
”You've changed, you're evil now! I remember that you used to like facing your enemies head on.” Fang Zhengzhi said seriously.
”If I told you I learnt from you, would you believe me?”
”No!”
”It seems like... I'm not evil enough yet.”
