Chapter 186 Visitors from Above
Along the way, Li Muyang chatted with the driver, but the driver was concise and refused to answer any of the key questions.
While observing the area they passed, they found it heavily guarded, with even the guards they encountered being well-armed Nascent Soul cultivators!
The guests we're about to meet are probably no ordinary people!
After driving around for an unknown amount of time, Li Muyang was finally taken to his destination by the driver and met his parents, who were dressed in their finest attire. Any one of them could have made the entire North China region tremble.
"What's going on?" Li Muyang asked in surprise as he leaned closer to Li Yunfei and whispered in his ear, "I was just about to head to the next mission world, why did you call me over in such a hurry?"
Li Yunfei stared silently at his son for a long time, then shook his head and chuckled, saying, "It's nothing, just a few old friends from above. I actually told Number One that it wasn't necessary, but they insisted on making such a big deal out of it."
"As for calling you here, it's just to get acquainted with them. You might need them in the future. Although they didn't actually descend to earth, they are still the most powerful beings on Earth. If you ever have any problems in the future, and I or your mother aren't around, you can ask them for help."
Li Muyang immediately realized the crucial information!
Above! Old friend! Not the real person descended to earth!
To be honest, Li Muyang had considered before whether his parents might have some hidden identities... but he had no clues whatsoever and couldn't guess at all!
The current situation is something we anticipated, but it's still within acceptable limits.
I'm just a little curious, who from above is it that's here?
Following his parents to a flat square, the three of them immediately attracted the attention of everyone present as soon as they appeared. Li Muyang felt a surge of pressure... Only at grand ceremonies could he see such a well-organized lineup!
Ahem, to my shame, Li Muyang also attended the ceremony with his father, though he was standing in the audience.
Upon seeing Li Yunfei and Xiao Xuanyan appear, the No. 1 of China, accompanied by his wife, greeted them with a warm smile, firmly grasping Li Yunfei's hand and saying, "Old Li, you've finally arrived! I heard your wife's injuries have healed? Congratulations!"
Xiao Xuanyan returned the greeting with a polite and gentle smile, but Li Yunfei was less polite, rolling his eyes and saying, "Alright, alright, the person hasn't even arrived yet. We're all family, who are you trying to impress with all this formality?"
Although that's what he said, Li Yunfei still gave No. 1 a lot of face, and never let go of the handshake. From this, it can be seen that he and No. 1 probably have a very close personal relationship.
Number One didn't care about Li Yunfei's words. He just turned to look at Li Muyang with a smile, gesturing as he said, "This is... Muyang? Hahaha! You've grown so much in the blink of an eye! I remember the last time I saw you, you were just a month old and still in your mother's arms. When I held you, you even got my hand covered in your body fluid!"
Li Muyang, flattered and overwhelmed, grasped Number One's hand: "This is an irresistible force! Please don't take offense~"
Holy crap, I actually did something like that when I was a kid? What a brave soul!
Number One is the top-ranked cultivator in China!
Thinking about it this way, Li Muyang realized he had indeed done something awesome! He put his hands on his hips inwardly for a moment!
Number One was just joking when he said "hehe". He admired Li Muyang's seemingly panicked but actually calm and collected demeanor. It was truly remarkable that someone at the Golden Core stage could remain so composed!
After all, the weakest among those present was at the Nascent Soul Realm, and there were countless others at the Integration Realm, not to mention several Mahayana Realm cultivators!
Most importantly, everyone present released their own aura! Although they weren't intentionally trying to suppress anyone, the overall effect created a terrifying vortex of oppressive energy!
To remain calm and composed under such circumstances is something that cannot be simply attributed to the kindness of one's parents!
and many more!
This kid has reached the Golden Core stage?
Number One suddenly realized, whose Golden Core cultivator's aura is so powerful?! Even his wife sensed something was wrong! This aura... it's actually a Golden Core cultivator?
Number One was stunned for a moment, but Li Yunfei waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, Mu Yang, just call him Uncle Wang! Old Wang is my generation, a few years older than me."
"My son has a slightly special physique. He needs several times more resources to cultivate than ordinary people, but the advantage is that he accumulates more power. Stay calm!"
Li Muyang raised an eyebrow. Hmm! His father knew so much; he was already used to his father's extraordinary abilities.
Upon hearing this, Number One and his wife nodded in sudden understanding. "I see, that explains it!"
After all, there are so many strange and unusual cultivation physiques, and neither of them dared to guarantee that they knew all of them, not to mention that the catalog of special physiques is constantly being updated! Besides, Li Yunfei is the professional researcher, so whatever he says is true!
Number One chatted with Li Muyang for a few more minutes, and his eager attitude made everyone a little uncomfortable. In particular, Number One didn't mention the armor at all, and only asked about Li Muyang's personal matters, which made everyone even more nervous.
Fortunately, this situation didn't last long. Li's mother noticed her son's embarrassment and helped smooth things over, pulling Li Muyang out of his awkward situation. As for Li Yunfei, he closed his eyes, as if he was oblivious to everything around him.
Of course, Li Muyang and Number One knew who Li Yunfei was communicating with, so they didn't bother him.
A little while later, Li Yunfei suddenly opened his eyes and said, "They're here!"
Immediately afterwards, a thunderclap resounded in the sky, followed by a flash of golden light. A celestial gate gradually solidified, and several figures approached from afar. Although they appeared to be far away and their speed was not fast, in the blink of an eye, they had already landed on the ground from the celestial gate in the air.
There were five people in total, all dressed in suits and wearing sunglasses, looking quite cool.
However, their individual characteristics are very obvious, and Chinese people can basically recognize them as soon as they meet!
"Welcome to the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit, the Great Sage Relic King Buddha, the Cleansing Altar Messenger, the Golden-bodied Arhat, and the Bodhisattva of the Eight Heavenly Dragons! On behalf of all the people of China, I extend my warmest greetings to these five esteemed guests!"
Number One greeted him with a smile.
Yes, the newcomers are none other than the five-person team from the Journey to the West!
Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and the White Dragon.
"King of Men... Oh! No, I should call you Number One now! Thank you for your trouble!" Tang Sanzang ripped off his sunglasses, flattered, and grabbed Number One's hand, shaking it rapidly up and down. "Really... you didn't need to make such a fuss. We, the five of us, were just on a normal trip!"
Number One laughed heartily: "That won't do. If the people knew that you five had descended to the mortal realm and I didn't treat you with the utmost hospitality, I'd be bombarded with criticism! Holy Monk, please don't underestimate your prestige on Earth!"
The four people behind also took off their sunglasses. Well, actually, besides looking cool, there was another reason for wearing them: the immortal sect was just too dazzling!
None of them expected that the big move Li Yunfei mentioned would be so significant! Almost all of China's top officials came to welcome the five of them! This made the five of them, who had originally planned to relax and enjoy a vacation, feel a little awkward.
His cringey, sunglasses-wearing, and pretentious look was spotted by so many people!
The main problem was that they were all dressed in black, making them look less like the five members of the pilgrimage group and more like some kind of H-society group.
Although it was similar when we went on our pilgrimage back then.
Number One also noticed that there were too many people and the scale of the event was too grand. The five members of the pilgrimage group were a little unaccustomed to it. He smiled and knew that such a commotion was too big, but as the first group of foreign guests to come down from above, China had to show the sincerity it deserved!
Of course, the possibility of discomfort was also taken into consideration, so the reason for calling everyone over was just to meet them and make them familiar with each other. Number One did not intend to introduce them one by one. After meeting the five members of the pilgrimage group, he simply told everyone to disperse!
Okay, that's it!
Li Muyang (；￣д￣): So willful!
I'd heard before that Number One was capricious when it came to doing things, and although he often did superficial projects, he really only did superficial projects!
Of course, they weren't just going to leave the five members of the pilgrimage group unattended. The First and his wife, along with a few people from next door, took the five members of the pilgrimage group out for a meal to welcome them back!
The five people certainly wouldn't refuse this request, since they were already here.
However, when the five of them faced Li Yunfei...
"Your Majesty..." Tang Sanzang had barely opened his mouth when Li Yunfei glared back at him. "Think carefully before you shout! Can't you see my son is here? Can't you see there are so many people here? Now that you've revealed my identity, how can I continue to work as a researcher?"
Tang Sanzang sensed the murderous intent in someone's eyes and immediately changed the subject: "...Lapi! Lei Bi! Wukong! Your master is a little thirsty, get me a bottle of Lei Bi to drink!"
That was close! I almost let it slip! Luckily, I was quick-witted!
Monkey King covered his mouth tightly with one hand and slapped Pigsy, who was grinning foolishly, with the other. Pigsy could only reluctantly take out a bottle of Thunder Jade and hand it to Sanzang, saying, "Master, this is the only bottle I have left!"
Li Muyang glanced at his father with some surprise, then looked at Tang Sanzang... Well, the image of the holy monk had completely collapsed in Li Muyang's mind!
Wearing suits and ties could be considered keeping up with the times, and wearing sunglasses could be seen as the immortal sect being too dazzling. The problem is, why does Li Muyang always feel a sense of banditry when he sees these five people?
It looks like a criminal gang!
Is this still the same group of five people he remembered from his pilgrimage?
But there was also a strange sense of familiarity.
Wait... it can't be...
"Lucky Star Treasure Hunt?" Li Muyang asked himself thoughtfully.
The sound wasn't loud, but it still successfully caught the attention of the five members of the pilgrimage group. The problem was, all five of them turned pale.
It's like someone brought up my embarrassing past!
"Ahem! That's all in the past! Right, Wujing?" Tang Sanzang glanced sideways at his "honest and simple" junior brother Sha.
"Huh? Oh." Sha Wujing nodded obediently, then immediately complained, "The past is the past, and it's no different from before anyway. I'm used to it... Maybe this is just fate~"
(Note: I recommend that those who haven't seen Lucky Star check it out; it's a really fun old Chinese movie.)
