...
And so on.
Surname Yan!
Yu Daochen suddenly realized something.
If his surname is Yan, could it be...!
Yu Daochen looked at the胖大叔 (fat uncle) in front of him with a face full of disbelief.
If it was that person, it would truly be beyond his imagination.
But was he really that person?
Yu Daochen thought he had guessed wrong, but seeing the fat uncle opposite him smile without speaking, he was one hundred percent sure his guess was correct.
The fat uncle in front of him was the esteemed figure below.
Yu Daochen cupped his hands in a salute, intending to address him respectfully, but was stopped by the fat uncle raising his hand, who said with a smile, "It's good that you know. Let's skip these complicated etiquettes."
Yu Daochen nodded, completely losing the confidence to argue.
Good heavens, why would this revered deity be waiting for him here?
The fat uncle looked at Yu Daochen and asked again, "Are you here to save someone?"
"That's right."
Yu Daochen nodded and then asked, "Uncle Yan, are you planning to stop me?"
The fat uncle shook his head, pointed to the roof outside, and said with a smile, "Do you know the three words on the plaque?"
"I do."
Yu Daochen glanced back outside, and when he turned his head back.
He found a cage of steamed buns had appeared on the table at some point.
Yu Daochen looked at the cage of steamed buns on the table with a face full of shock.
These steamed buns had no steam, yet you could feel they were hot.
More importantly, these seven steamed buns were identical, as if they were made of plastic.
The fat uncle glanced at the steamed buns on the table and then at Yu Daochen, smiling and saying, "Huítóu bāo, as the name suggests, after eating these steamed buns, you will go back and never return here."
Yu Daochen looked at the steamed buns on the table and said with a smile, "It's probably impossible for a cage of steamed buns to make me give up the idea of saving him."
The fat uncle showed a mysterious smile, "Since it's called Huítóu bāo, it has that power. Once you eat these steamed buns, you will abandon the idea of saving him from the bottom of your heart. This isn't amnesia, but rather you will know how much he has sacrificed for you, that he is trapped here, yet you will have no thought of saving him."
Hearing the fat uncle speak so mysteriously, Yu Daochen looked at the steamed buns on the table again.
Given this esteemed figure's identity and status.
He had the ability and the means.
Yu Daochen stared at the fat uncle and asked, "Lord Yan, what is your purpose?"
Seeing Yu Daochen say this, the fat uncle was a little surprised, but still said, "How should I put it, I promised someone."
"Who?" Yu Daochen immediately asked.
The fat uncle did not hide anything and said, "That kid Xu Feng."
"Xu Feng?"
Yu Daochen's brow furrowed.
Isn't Xu Feng his previous life?
Why would he ask this esteemed figure to come here and orchestrate this?
However, only a legendary figure like Xu Feng could ask this esteemed figure to do something.
The fat uncle nodded and began to explain, "Of course, I owed him a favor, and repayment was to do something for him."
Hearing the fat uncle say this, Yu Daochen was not surprised at all.
After all, Xu Feng was a man who dared to challenge all the gods in heaven alone.
It was not surprising to Yu Daochen that this esteemed figure had asked him to do something.
The fat uncle continued, "What he asked me to do before he died was to stop someone from coming here today."
Seeing the fat uncle say this, Yu Daochen suddenly understood, "The person he wanted to stop was me, right?"
The fat uncle nodded and said, "It's not exactly to stop you, but to give you a choice. You can choose to stand up and leave without eating these steamed buns, or you can finish eating the steamed buns and leave here. I won't stop you."
Seeing the fat uncle say this, Yu Daochen's brow furrowed, "Did he just say that, with no other instructions?"
The fat uncle nodded, "That's right."
Yu Daochen fell silent, not understanding his previous life's intentions.
Did he predict the outcome of the great battle?
It shouldn't be possible. If he had predicted the outcome of the great battle.
Then he would definitely have made arrangements here.
It shouldn't be presenting him with a choice.
What did this guy mean?
Yu Daochen was utterly perplexed and didn't know where to start.
Seeing Yu Daochen's confusion, the fat uncle smiled and said, "Actually, it's very simple. You just need to choose whether to eat or not."
Upon hearing this, Yu Daochen smiled faintly.
Yes, no matter what Xu Feng's intentions were.
There were only two options before him.
Eat the steamed buns and go back.
Even if he knew of Liu Feng in the future, and knew how much he had sacrificed for him.
He would not come to save him.
Not eating meant facing his fears directly.
Conquering the gods he might not be able to defeat!
Yu Daochen shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, it seems I won't be eating the steamed buns today. I'll come back to eat them another day."
After speaking, Yu Daochen got up to leave.
The moment he turned to leave, a powerful pressure attacked him from behind.
The entire room began to shake violently, and an endless chill swept through the entire room.
This chill was colder than ice, and it was still dropping.
As if it had no limits.
Yu Daochen stopped in his tracks, his shoulders feeling as if they carried a thousand pounds, and cracks began to appear on the tiled floor beneath his feet.
This was enough to show how terrifying this oppressive aura was.
"If it's only to this extent, it still won't change my decision."
A confident smile appeared on Yu Daochen's face, and he continued to walk forward.
No matter how difficult it was, it would not stop his resolve to save him.
Let alone this esteemed figure, even those guys in heaven couldn't!
Seeing Yu Daochen say this, the fat uncle withdrew his terrifying threat, his voice becoming serious, "Are you sure about your choice?"
Yu Daochen let out a long sigh, then immediately drew the Kang Long Rod from his waist, turned his back to the fat uncle, and said coldly, "No one can stop my decision. Don't talk about you, even those guys in heaven can't. Whoever dares to stop me, I'll kill them!"
That's right, he really didn't want to be enemies with this esteemed figure.
But... if he were to stop him.
Heh, he would kill him without hesitation.
Even if he couldn't defeat him, even if he had to pay with his life.
But he would never change this choice!
Upon hearing this, the fat uncle's face turned ashen. He stared at Yu Daochen, his voice ice-cold, "Are you threatening me?"
Yu Daochen turned around, holding the Kang Long Rod, his back straight, his face devoid of any fear, his eyes fixed on the fat uncle in front of him, and said coldly, "If you intend to stop me, then this is a threat!"
At this moment, Yu Daochen felt no fear or trepidation.
He understood how terrifying the strength of this esteemed figure was.
The hope of him defeating him was minuscule, almost impossible.
But so what!
As long as he dared to stop him, he would fight!
Anyone who dared to stop him, one word.
Fight!
