Just as Zhong You had predicted, although Fubu Wen spoke as if he wanted to strike immediately, he didn’t actually make a move. When he tried to lock Di Jiu with his domain, there was no reaction at all, which made him vaguely uneasy—Di Jiu’s strength was terrifying. But if he didn’t retaliate after Di Jiu spoke to him like this, from today onward, Fubu Wen would be nothing but a laughingstock.
At this moment, what he wanted most was for Zhong You to attack Di Jiu. But he also knew that was absolutely impossible.
Di Jiu had already seen through Fubu Wen’s bluff—he didn’t dare make a move at all. Di Jiu’s gaze fell on Zhen Man, and he vaguely understood something. Zhen Man stood with her head lowered, not far from where Fubu Wen had just stood. When Fubu Wen tried to attack Lan Ru earlier, she seemed almost relieved.
He’d originally planned to greet her, but now Di Jiu couldn’t be bothered with Zhen Man. He turned to Lan Ru and said, “Sister Lan, if there’s anything you need, just say it.”
Lan Ru also sensed something was wrong. With Fubu Wen’s arrogance and strength, Di Jiu had humiliated him so thoroughly—almost as if he’d pointed at his nose and cursed him—how could he not retaliate? Yet in reality, Fubu Wen hadn’t made a move at all.
She recalled when Di Jiu had fallen into the hands of Jiang Dai, yet even now he remained completely unharmed…
Suddenly, Lan Ru was struck by a conclusion she could hardly believe: Di Jiu must have defeated Jiang Dai back then, and Fubu Wen was actually afraid of Di Jiu, which was why he didn’t dare make a move.
What astonished everyone was that Kuang Yiren stepped forward again and said, “Earlier, Fairy Lan ignored this young lady and said she was unworthy, which angered Lord Fubu. That’s why Lord Fubu flew into a rage and wanted to cripple Fairy Lan, demanding that she kneel and apologize.”
As Kuang Yiren spoke, he pointed at Zhen Man.
Even Wu Qianxiong was stunned as he stared at Kuang Yiren. Both of them were members of the Dao Domain Sect Alliance—Wu Qianxiong was the leader, Kuang Yiren the Left Protector. Normally, Kuang Yiren seemed quite rational, so why was he speaking so irrationally today?
