Chapter 803: Asking Around

Proofreader

: Papatonks

The silence was deafening.

Everyone here looked at each other then at Zhuo Fan with a dumb look, though neither budged an inch.

The waiter was sweating now, shaking like a leaf next to Zhuo Fan and on the verge of tears.

[Whats wrong with me? The least I could do was check his level before I let anger take me.]

Only now he saw that his Bone Tempering cultivation wasnt enough to see through him. This was an obvious sign the others level was way higher.

The people in the restaurant sized Zhuo Fan up, then lamented their fates.

[We cant tell anything! We cant even touch him as we are.]

They all stood stiff in the same spot, while Zhuo Fan snickered, Whats the hold up? Didnt you want to kill me?

No no no

Everyone shook their heads. Pa.s.sersbys like them would never reach his level. Theyd just be mowed down if they attacked now.

Zhuo Fan shook his head. I was wondering why the Quanrong Emperor would be so impulsive as to step into Tianyus unrest. Now I see Quanrong are all brawn, attacking before even looking. It might sound like bravery, even heroism, but its just a fancy way of calling someone an idiot. Before you start attacking, you should start flexing that thing you have for a head. Well, I guess you lost those hundreds of miles fair and square, ha-ha-ha

Zhuo Fans mockery made everyones faces turn red.

Zhuo Fan started off with defending himself but now he was openly disregarding their emperor and their entire people.

It made the Quanrong so angry and filled with hatred.

Though not enough to attack, not when Zhuo Fan had the biggest fist around.

Seeing them all so tense, Zhuo Fan smiled, though no longer toyed with them, since he had no intention of quarreling with the common folk.

Since you guys wont do nothing, Ill

Attack? The waiter shouted, scared to death. A Radiant Stage cultivator could kill them with a thought. Theyd be slaughtered.

The others panicked and fell to their knees, begging for their lives.

Rolling his eyes, Zhuo Fan huffed, Whod kill you? Youre not even worth it. I was gonna say that since you wont start anything, Ill ask some questions and then you can just scram.

[Oh, just questions. Who the h.e.l.l jumped the gun and said hell attack?]

They relaxed at once, but then, they recalled their panic and shameful act, looking for the instigator.

[s.h.i.+t, that scared me to death!]

All eyes glared at the waiter. He lowered his head with resentment.

[Can you blame me? How would I know this guy is against the norms? Shouldnt it be if we dont attack, he will?]

Ignoring their reproaching looks, Zhuo Fan said, Waiter, Ill ask you first. What were those fights you were talking about? With who?

Eh, you dont know? The waiter was stunned.

Zhuo Fan rolled his eyes and cursed, Why else am I asking you?

Yeah, senior asked you a question and youre quibbling?

Hurry up and answer before senior gets impatient.

Waiter, cut the c.r.a.p and answer!

Everyone in the restaurant began to curse at him and make him feel glum.

[d.a.m.n these fools, switching sides at the drop of a hat. They were patriots a second ago alongside me, now theyre this Tianyu guys loyal dogs!]

[Since you cant mess with a Radiant Stage cultivator, you take it out on a waiter?]

Zhuo Fan frowned and glared at them to quiet down.

The waiter bowed, Sir, were at war with Tianyu. Since youre from Tianyu, I thought you knew

Theyre fighting again? Why? For how long?

Around a month, the rumor is His Majesty received the full support from the guardian sect, vowing to get our land back. The waiter sighed, And His Majesty wanted to make up for his mistake eight years ago, so theres been a martial law in place at the borders, to prevent any Tianyu spies from coming in. Thats why when sir

The patriotic waiter forgot who he was talking to, forgetting he was giving a strong guy from Tianyu a report.

So he sewed his mouth shut. Something had to be wrong with his head, to talk when he was aware of the situation.

[He may be]

Dont worry, Im no spy.

Zhuo Fan smiled, Have you ever seen a spy exposing himself like me? Besides, its common knowledge what you told me so far. Ive been away from Tianyu for so many years and want to return. I couldnt know these things.

The waiter sighed, relieved.

[I havent sold my country.]

Zhuo Fan pondered carefully, Theres a serious problem here. I saw the Luo clans power and Quanrong didnt have the strength to invade Tianyu. Also, Beast Taming Sect is offering full support? Humph, it is only one sect while the other has three helping it. Unless something fishy is going on here. Did the higher powers reach some debased deal?

What are you talking about, sir? The waiter asked puzzled.

Zhuo Fan waved his hand, Nothing, it doesnt involve you anyway. Quanrong wont win in any case. Theres still something I want to know. Ha-ha-ha, do you guys have some wonderful scenery around, of immense beauty?

Scenery?

The waiter was stumped, the people puzzled. He shook his head, Sir, Quanrong isnt like Tianyu, with rich lands and great sceneries. Were barren, so where can there be such a place here? If you want to enjoy some places, youre better off going to Tianyu. They have far better sceneries.

Then what about harsh mountains? Which is the most treacherous area, the place where livestock vanishes the most? Zhuo Fan squinted.

Where the wind tunnel gathered spiritual energy, it did not mean paradise would always form. It might not be unlike the local areas, making it truly a danger zone.

The waiter was still looking lost, Sir, where have you heard this? Were barren, but not in h.e.l.l, with a poisoned land. Wouldnt we have died off by now?

Frowning, Zhuo Fan pondered.

[Were the ol dragons senses out of whack when he made the sketch? Theres no sign of the wind tunnel here.]

That would mean all the other spots were wrong as well.

[How am I supposed to find eight wind tunnels on these huge lands? ]

Zhuo Fan was worried.

The waiter and the rest did not make a peep, afraid he would kill them.

Everyone waited there for his words.

Wheres the owner?

In this tense mood, heads turned as loud footsteps were heard coming into the locale. Two built men in lavish clothes walked forward, their strong physique clearly making them out to be at peak Profound Heaven Stage.

The sixth prince has booked this place. All of you are to leave!

The two tough guys stuck out their chests, looking smug and c.o.c.ky. Though they did not see the panic that unusually followed. In fact, the people were making shus.h.i.+ng gestures in a rush.

Whats going on here? Are you all deaf? The sixth prince booked this place. Get out now!

The two barked once more and the people looked at the two tough men, trying to hint at them.

[See him? He cant be offended so keep it down. Dont disturb him or well all get it.]

However, the two muscles did not get to shout again as Zhuo Fans cold tone echoed, Who are the crazed dogs barking in my ear?
