897 A Vacant Spiritual Physique Indeed! (1/2)
”Yes, yes. Is this Brother Yun Yang?”
The Vice Chief chuckled and said, ”I am Lang Fantian (the wave that overthrows the heavens). People call me Heaven Toppling Palm. I am the Vice Chief of the General Commerce League. These two men here are the league's main Protector elders. This is Living Immortal Xiao Yushu, while this is Steel-faced Life and Death Arbiter Gu Jiuxiao. Brother Yun, Brother Shi, it's our pleasure to meet you.”
Having the honorable status as the General Commerce League's Vice Chief, a person who was influential and authoritative, Lang Fantian maintained his etiquette, despite facing two insignificant unknowns of the martial world like Yun Yang and Shi Wuchen. His mannerism was generous and noble.
At least, it exceeded Yun Yang's expectation.
Yun Yang thought to himself, 'Indeed, the higher your status is, the less arrogant you are. People who act like they're the top priority in the world will hardly rise up to such heights. The idiotic leaders commonly seen in novels are literally made up – unworthy to be mentioned or joked about.'
He quickly replied, ”Both of us feel extremely honored and even bewildered by your presence, Vice Chief. We've heard a lot about you and both elders'. It is truly our honor to meet all of you today.”
”Hahaha…”
Lang Fantian guffawed freely and took large strides forward, saying, ”Let us talk in the room. Guohai, do come with me too.”
…
”Do you mean to say that something like this truly exists?”
Lang Fantian looked at Feng Guohai, who was standing in front of him in the secret chamber.
”To this subordinate, it's sixty to seventy percent truth, at the very least.”
Feng Guohai spoke carefully, ”I don't think there are many individuals in this world who are staying here in the General Commerce League and is daring enough to use his life to joke with us…”
Lang Fantian nodded slowly and answered, ”True enough. If it's fake, he's doomed. And the Ethereal Amethysts are authentic as well. They're already substantial evidence!”
He stood up and said, ”Let us go out of the city tomorrow and find a quiet place to see if the Spirit's Grave truly exists and further verify if this matter is believable. By then, Yushu, you check with your divine sense while Jiuxiao shall examine the soul. Do your best, but don't force yourselves. If anything feels wrong, your safety is the priority. Don't act recklessly either. If this matter is real, the one behind the Spirit's Grave can't be an ordinary presence too.”
”We understand.”
…
Yun Yang was waiting in the living room but with a flicker of a golden gleam, Lang Fantian, Xiao Yushu and Gu Jiuxiao appeared before him. The three of them stared at Yun Yang with wide eyes.
Feeling three incredibly strong forces locking down on him, Yun Yang felt like he could barely move his limbs. He was quietly shocked, but his expression remained calm.
Lang Fantian grabbed Yun Yang's wrist with an outstretched arm and said with a smile, ”Brother Yun, let me take a look at your physique. Don't mind me, I'm very concerned with the so-called empty spiritual physique and am quite delighted to meet one.”
”Understandably so. Don't hold yourself back, Vice Chief,” Yun Yang said with a chortle.
He had boasted that he possessed a vacant spiritual physique. It was only a matter of course that the other party wanted to prove him true. In fact, Feng Guohai must have held himself back with so much restraint to wait until now for Lang Fantian to personally perform the probe.
With a blink of their eyes, Xiao Yushu and Gu Jiuxiao extended their hands over as well.
