Chapter 81

As she spoke, Guangren's gaze swept over Wu Mian and the people around Gui BuGui. At this moment, Ji Ai had reverted to the state of a small leader under the old Qiu Er, just like the other lackeys, avoiding eye contact with Guangren. The current Dafashi did not pay much attention to him, his gaze moving on to the others.

While looking at everyone around Wu Mian and Gui BuGui, Guangren said to Guang Kui, "There are too few documents left by the first Dafashi, and no one can be sure whether Lord Yan Ai Hou ascended or reincarnated." As he said this, his gaze fell on Gui BuGui.

Guangren smiled at Gui BuGui and said, "Senior Brother Gui, who were you talking to just now? Is there something we don't know here?"

Gui BuGui also had a smiling face, and after a laugh, the old man said, "How could there be something the Dafashi doesn't know? Now, the entire Fangshi sect respects the Dafashi. How could there be something the Dafashi doesn't know? Honestly, we just came in, and we were guessing whether this is Lord Yan Ai Hou's tomb or the place where he ascended. We were just about to figure it out when you arrived. Since you are the Dafashi, you should decide what this place is. We'll wait for your decision."

Gui BuGui's words had a teasing tone, and Guangren smiled slightly, as if he hadn't noticed. But a short, fat, white-haired man beside him frowned and said to the current Dafashi, "Senior Brother Gui is right. Dafashi, you need to give us an answer about what this place is."

It was clear that Guangren didn't want to deal with him. But after the man repeated himself, Guangren had no choice but to turn his face, smile bitterly, and say to him, "Junior Brother Guangyi, Senior Brother Gui was just joking. What kind of person was the first Dafashi? How could I possibly know about his affairs?"

However, this explanation didn't seem to satisfy the Fangshi named Guangyi. Just as he was about to say something, Guangxiao stopped him, "Senior Brother Guangyi, Senior Brother Gui must know what this place is. Think about it, for so many years, wherever Senior Brother Gui has been, what place has he not known? Remember the time we searched for the dragon fish by the Bohai Sea? Senior Brother Gui recognized the sea from a thousand miles away. How could he not know this place? Just wait, and Senior Brother Gui will tell us about the first Dafashi's whereabouts."

The Fangshi named Guangyi seemed to dislike Guangxiao. After Guangxiao spoke, he glared at him and said, "I'm asking the Dafashi, why are you butting in? The Dafashi is called the Dafashi because he knows everything. If he doesn't know, then any cat or dog could be called the Dafashi. Right, Dafashi? Tell us, is this the place where the first Dafashi ascended, or is it his tomb?"

The last sentence was directed at Guangren, who, as if he hadn't heard, turned to look at Gui BuGui and said, "Senior Brother Gui, Junior Brother Guangyi is just curious. For the sake of Junior Brother Guangyi, tell us about the whereabouts of the first Dafashi, Lord Yan Ai Hou."

Gui BuGui laughed and replied to Guangren, "Junior Brother Guangyi is asking the Dafashi, what does it have to do with me? Someone even said I would never be the Dafashi in this life. I was a bit不服气 (unwilling to accept it) at first, but now I'm truly convinced. Dafashi, hahaha..."

Gui BuGui laughed wildly, and Guangren's smile froze. He looked at the old man and said, word by word, "So, there's no need to continue this conversation. Senior Brother Gui, whether this is Lord Yan Ai Hou's tomb or not has nothing to do with us. Do as you please. However, Wu Mian is someone personally chosen by the previous Dafashi. He will follow us back, and I will take him as a disciple in the name of the previous Dafashi. From now on, he will be our junior brother, giving him the status of a Fangshi."

As soon as Guangren finished speaking, Gui BuGui burst into laughter again. This time, he even shed tears. After laughing, he wiped his eyes and said, "Before taking a disciple, you should first find out if they are already in the sect. Dafashi, Wu Mian is already a Fangshi. How can you give him a status? What should we call him in the future? Double Fangshi?" After saying this, the old man laughed again, and Guangyi also laughed heartlessly.

At this moment, Guangren's smile completely disappeared. He looked up at Gui BuGui and said, "Whether it's a double Fangshi or not, as the Dafashi, I cannot let someone chosen by the previous Dafashi wander in the world. I will take Wu Mian back today, no matter what."

"If I don't go, will you drag me by the legs?" Wu Mian, who had been quiet since Guangren and his group arrived, finally spoke. He sneered and provocatively said to the current Dafashi, "It's best if you, the Guang generation, come and do it yourself. If it's your disciples, who knows whose legs will be broken. Redhead! You were looking for me, right? I'm here, come over!" There was only one red-haired man in the crowd.

As Wu Mian spoke, the disciples of the Guang generation below him were all looking at him. However, their faces were filled with mocking expressions. But when he mentioned the red-haired man, Gui BuGui's face changed. He tried to stop Wu Mian but failed. After Wu Mian finished speaking, the old man's face turned bitter.

Among the Guang generation, Huoshan was the most respected. Guangren's eldest disciple was also sensible and walked to his master. Before he could speak, Guangren said in a stern tone, "What is your status? Just because someone says something about you, you must do it? Step back!"

This was one of the few times Guangren had used a stern tone since he appeared. Huoshan was immediately terrified, and sweat the size of soybeans streamed down his forehead. Without even trying to explain, he bowed to his master and retreated to his original position.

Guangxiao, beside Guangren, laughed and said, "In such a situation, the Dafashi's eldest disciple is not needed. Let us, the disciples, help the Dafashi." He paused, his gaze sweeping over his disciples. Finally, it landed on a man who looked to be in his forties: "Desource, you help the Dafashi bring back this little junior uncle, Wu Mian."

Desource agreed and respectfully bowed to Guangxiao before turning to Wu Mian and said, "Little junior uncle Wu Mian, the Dafashi invites you to join us." Wu Mian sneered and said, "No need to be so polite, just bring your weapons."

Desource smiled insincerely and said, "Inviting you, little junior uncle, to join us, how could we be so rude? Besides, as a new disciple, you shouldn't need any weapons. My body should be enough." He bowed to Wu Mian, but as he straightened up, Desource suddenly disappeared.

At the same moment, a strong wind blew towards Wu Mian, forcing him to take several steps back to steady himself. If Gui BuGui hadn't moved away before Desource disappeared, he would have been blown away.

As Wu Mian steadied himself, a hand suddenly appeared from the center of the wind, grabbing his neck tightly. Desource then appeared in front of Wu Mian, laughed, and said, "I said, inviting you, little junior uncle, to join us doesn't require any weapons."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Mian, who was being restrained, suddenly sneered. His right hand grabbed Desource's arm, and a "sizzling" sound was heard as a red current flowed from Wu Mian's palm to Desource's arm.

With a "bang," Desource was hit by the current and flew several dozen feet away, stopping only when he hit a peach tree and fell to the ground.
