Chapter 639: Chapter 193: Shocking Change in Qiulong County! The Name of Fan Wu Known to All! (17,000-word Mega Update)_7
"Shh! You mustn’t say such things!"
"..."
Inside the government office.
Upon entering through a large gate, Yun Jiuqing seemed to let herself go completely and shouted at the man sitting at one of the desks, "Father! I’m back!!!"
Yun Shouji put down his writing brush, slightly lifted his eyelids, and said helplessly, "If you startled me, all these official documents would have to be scrapped."
Then, he looked towards Fan Wu, who was standing behind Yun Jiuqing.
With eyes filled with complex emotions and endless sighs, he said, "When you left the Prefecture, I had a feeling you would stir up some trouble. But I never imagined the trouble you’d cause would be so significant."
Yun Shouji wryly smiled and continued, "You even dare to slay the God of the Earth, even the Punishment Bureau Jail Warden of the Underworld. Your courage is truly extraordinary!"
Yun Shouji seldom admired someone, especially someone younger than himself.
But now, the appearance of Fan Wu...
Had broken this precedent!
The deeds of Fan Wu were simply too impressive to deny!
During this time, Yun Shouji had been closely following the news about Fan Wu and his associates. Anytime there was new information about them, it would be presented on his desk immediately.
So, he roughly knew about everything Fan Wu and his associates had done.
Of course, there were things Yun Shouji didn’t know about.
But his attention was not out of a constant desire to monitor, it was born out of concern for his daughter.
As for worrying about Fan Wu?!
Yun Shouji felt that even if he wanted to worry about his brother-in-law, he probably wouldn’t have the opportunity to do so.
He thought it was his enemies who should be worried about Fan Wu.
Because if someone provoked an enemy like Fan Wu...
Tsk!
It would be nothing short of a nightmare.
Because he had always been paying attention, every time new information came to him, Yun Shouji would be shocked by some of Fan Wu’s actions. He constantly marveled at how Fan Wu’s courage grew, and his power became ever stronger.
"How did things turn out with the Nanjun County Prince?" Yun Shouji asked curiously.
"All settled!" Yun Jiuqing quickly answered, "We fought our way from the Prefecture of Nanjun to the Imperial City of the Great Zhou, and then we met the Interim Emperor. From the Interim Emperor’s mouth, we learned about some past events."
Yun Shouji knew who his daughter referred to as the Interim Emperor.
He sighed softly, "Everything went smoothly, then that’s good."
After saying this, he looked towards Fan Wu, "What are your current plans? The Great Zhou Dynasty is about to plunge into chaos, and this turmoil might reach Nanjun. It could be quite troublesome if it does."
"I plan to return to Qiulong County for a while," Fan Wu replied succinctly, decisively, "Then leave the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Oh?" Yun Shouji didn’t believe Fan Wu was leaving the Great Zhou Dynasty because of the impending conflict. He felt there must be another reason.
Then, he heard Fan Wu explain, "Leaving the Great Zhou Dynasty is due to some issues regarding my true identity."
Yun Shouji understood, "So your real family isn’t in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
Fan Wu revealed, "They are in the Shangwu Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, Yun Shouji raised his eyebrows, his face filled with amazement, "The Shangwu Dynasty? That’s not just remotely far. How on earth did you end up in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
"I don’t know," Fan Wu grew more serious, "Perhaps I’ll find out something once I return to Qiulong Temple. Maybe even more once I get to the Shangwu Dynasty."
Yun Shouji thoughtfully said, "If you came all this way to the Great Zhou Dynasty, especially since you were but an infant in swaddling clothes at the time, that means your background... is not simple. To safely bring an infant to the Great Zhou Dynasty is not something an ordinary person could achieve."
"Indeed, it’s not simple." Fan Wu took out a jade pendant and tossed it to Yun Shouji.
Yun Shouji caught it effortlessly.
Looking at the smooth jade pendant in his palm, Yun Shouji frowned and commented, "This... Is this the jade pendant you went to the Imperial City to retrieve? It doesn’t seem to have any particularly special features."
"That’s because only I can see what is special about it," Fan Wu said. "I can see characters on the jade pendant."
"Characters?" Yun Shouji examined it once more, his eyes even shimmering with a trace of profound light, but still, he couldn’t discern anything. He remarked, "If there truly are characters only you can see and I cannot, then this pendant is no ordinary item."
"What do the characters on the jade pendant say?" Yun Shouji inquired, "If it’s personal, you don’t have to reveal it."
"There’s nothing particularly secretive about it, nor anything to be mindful of," Fan Wu said bluntly regarding his origins, "The characters on the pendant read—’Heir of the Crown Prince of the Shangwu Dynasty.’"
Yun Shouji: "????"
