Chapter 1172 Who?
After Shen Xiuyuan learned about what happened to Lin Fan on the road, he jumped up from his chair.

"Are you from Taixu Palace?" He looked nervous.

"Probably not." Du Xingyu replied, "Although we were far away and the light was not good, the man was wearing a bamboo hat and black clothes, which was not the style of Taixu Palace."

"What's the atmosphere of Taixu Palace?" Mu Jingjing was curious.

"They..." Du Xingyu sneered, "They are so ethereal and high-handed. No matter what their cultivation level is, they always wear pale flowing gauze robes, like they are in mourning. They look so arrogant and have portraits on their necks, and they never bow down."

"Ahem..." Shen Xiuyuan coughed twice. "The moral standards of Taixu Palace are a bit high, which sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable..."

“Brother, why do you have to cover up for them?” Du Xingyu waved his hand, approached Lin Fan and Mu Jingjing and whispered, “The last time Senior Brother Shen went out to gain experience, he was tricked by that fake Taixu Palace disciple. Seven or eight years have passed in a flash, and I’m still worried about running into him…”

"How do you know?" Shen Xiuyuan was a little dumbfounded.

"I heard it from my master. After Uncle Jingchen knew that you were at a disadvantage, he dragged my master to Taixu Palace to pick a fight with them. Later, Taixu Palace went to Uncle Master to ask for an explanation. All the elders in the sect should know about it. As for whether they told the disciples, I'm not sure."

Du Xingyu glanced at Yu Sinian, who was as still as a mountain. From his expression, he must have known. "Oh, by the way, you were in seclusion at the time, and when you came out, the matter had already been settled. So no one told you."

Shen Xiuyuan covered his face.

It turns out that the authority he thought was his senior brother had never existed from the beginning?
But it would have been fine if he had known it originally, but how come the two junior sisters knew about it now?
"Brother, don't worry about it," Du Xingyu patted Shen Xiuyuan on the shoulder and consoled him, "We all know that it was the people from the Taixu Palace who were not on the right track. If you know about this, it will be a good thing for you to be on guard against those hypocrites."

Shen Xiuyuan suddenly had the urge to cover Du Xingyu's mouth.

If you want to be wary of Taixu Palace, you don't have to use him as an example!

"What happened back then?" Mu Jingjing was confused.

"that is……"

Shen Xiuyuan covered Du Xingyu's mouth with his hand and said with a wry smile, "It's not a big deal. You just trusted the character of the disciples of Taixu Palace too easily. In the end, you ended up doing wedding clothes for others and ended up with nothing. Junior sister, just remember, when you meet those people from Taixu Palace, don't be fooled by their appearance."

"Oh~" Mu Jingjing probably understood, "He cheated on my senior brother!"

Shen Xiuyuan was silent.

Although this is true, why does it sound weird?
"Anyway," Shen Xiuyuan quickly changed the subject, "If it wasn't Taixu Palace, who else would dare to blatantly steal the disciple order of my Changtian Sect just to create a chance encounter with Lin Fan?"

Changtian Sect is recognized by the world as the number one sect for cultivating immortals. Knowing that they are disciples of Changtian Sect, they still deliberately make such small moves. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a provocation. How can ordinary people have such courage?

"Could it be the Youye Sect?" Yu Sinian rested his hand on his forehead leisurely, "They act eccentrically and unconventionally."

"They do seem like people who can do such a thing," Shen Xiuyuan nodded, "but haven't they arrived yet? And how could they recognize Lin Fan? We have been traveling together all this time, but we haven't seen anyone from the Nether Night Sect."

"I'm afraid he's heard some rumors and got interested in Lin Fan." Du Xingyu squatted on the stool, rubbing his chin and looking at Lin Fan.

The rumors about Lin Fan in the market are nothing more than his spiritual roots and illegitimate daughter.

Mortals are more interested in romantic anecdotes such as illegitimate children, but people in the immortal sect are definitely more concerned about spiritual roots.

Lin Fan's spiritual roots were a mystery, and they must be rare. If she didn't tell them, they wouldn't ask, and they had to help hide it.

If the people from the Nether Night Sect set their sights on Lin Fan's spiritual roots and insisted on finding out the truth... it would indeed be a problem. "What should we do now?" Mu Jingjing asked, "Can his behavior be considered an attack?"

Under normal circumstances, monks are restricted in the secular world and are not allowed to take action easily. Fighting back is allowed, but attention must be paid to the impact on the surrounding environment.

Monks should be especially careful in places where mortals gather.

Lin Fan shook his head: "He acted like a 'good-hearted passerby' from beginning to end. He returned the lost token to me, which can't be considered an attack. He was even deliberately showing 'kindness'."

However, Lin Fan sensed the man's temptation, and seeing that he was covered in blood, he felt threatened and became alert.

"You don't have to worry too much," Du Xingyu waved his hand at Mu Jingjing and Lin Fan, "The people of the Youye Sect act so unruly, sometimes without any cause or consequence, just acting as they please. As long as he doesn't show any obvious targeting, we don't have to pay attention to him. If something really happens, we are not afraid of him. Just be careful, there are many mortals in the city, don't hurt innocent people."

Lin Fan nodded to show that he understood.

She had many means of self-defense and was not afraid at all.

Instead, I thought of my senior brother and Antonio who had gone to the Youye Sect.

Could it be that the strange man learned about himself from them? Is it possible that Antonio and the others brought words to him?
Come to think of it, it’s not very likely.

Everyone knows each other's identity. If they really want to find themselves, there is no need to convey it through other people's mouths.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn't help but look forward to it again.

Can we see Senior Brother and Antonio at this auction?

There was no need to worry about the eldest brother's ability, but his personality... Tsk! It was hard to say.

Just as he was thinking about it, news came from outside that the prefect of Jinyang Prefecture was here to visit in person.

"So late?" Shen Xiuyuan was a little surprised.

Generally speaking, formal visits are made during the day, in the morning or in the afternoon when there is more time. Favorable families will also hand in a visiting card in advance to confirm the time and place, and that the host is at home and available.

They arrived in Jinyang in the afternoon. Normally, even if the prefect wanted to visit, the earliest would be tomorrow. A more relaxed approach would be to hand in the visiting card in the morning, get a response, and then visit in the afternoon.

It's not like now, it's dark at night, and it would be impolite to go there in a hurry.

"It's about what happened in the evening," Yu Sinian fanned out, "We were jumping on the rooftops and chasing people without avoiding them. The prefect must have known about it and is worried about some trouble."

In the front hall, the prefect in his official uniform was wiping the sweat off his forehead with his sleeves. When he heard the footsteps, he stood up straight and put on a flattering smile.

"Greetings, immortals. I am the newly appointed local prefect. My surname is Wei and my given name is Xian. It is late at night and I am sorry for disturbing you. Please forgive me." When Prefect Wei saw a figure appear, he didn't care about anything and just went away.

As soon as he bent his waist, a hand held it firmly and he could not bend any further.

"Why are you so polite, Governor Wei? It's because we didn't visit you in time and were impolite. I hope Governor Wei will forgive us."

The gentle voice in his ears finally made Governor Wei's heart, which had been wandering, settle back down.

Just be nice to talk to. Just be nice to talk to!
