Chapter 1944: One Bluff After Another

"How did the Master Priest accomplish that?" The gazes of the two from Wu Zhou once again turned to Han Yan, filled with expectation.

Although Gao Weihu’s explanation had unraveled their confusion, the most important thing for them was not just getting answers, but figuring out how to obtain their own Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire.

"I think, even Priest Mu himself might not be able to answer that question." Gao Weihu shook his head and said.

"Uh..." Han Yan looked speechlessly at Gao Weihu, thinking to herself: How do you know I can’t answer it? Since when did you understand me so well? You’re not a God-man.

To be honest, Gao Weihu, with his smarty-pants look, did carry a bit of the God-man demeanor; however, his plump face totally ruined the mysterious aura of a God-man, lacking any celestial vibes.

Despite feeling a bit disgruntled inside, Han Yan originally found this matter difficult to explain. Having someone to be the scapegoat was naturally relieving, so she didn’t object.

"Priest Mu, have you planted that seed from the Heavenly Sun Temple? You should have guessed its origin by now, right?" Gao Weihu asked.

"Yes, it’s the large tree at the temple entrance. According to our guesses, it should be the legendary Life Ancient Tree." Han Yan nodded.

"So that’s the Life Ancient Tree!" Wu Yazi exclaimed simultaneously.

They were kept inside the carriage on their way here, and then immediately sent to this residence upon reaching Huayu City. They only caught a glimpse of the huge tree at the temple entrance through a slit in the carriage curtain. Though the luxuriant foliage of the ancient tree seemed unusual, knowing the long history and once lofty status of Huayu City, having an ancient tree at the entrance wasn’t surprising. They didn’t think much of it until now, realizing it was the legendary Life Ancient Tree.

"Young Master Gao, I recall you saying earlier that the birth of this Wilderness Fire is related to the Life Ancient Tree. What’s going on exactly?" Of course, the Life Ancient Tree wasn’t the focus; the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire was. The two urgently asked again.

"Don’t worry. I have another question to ask Priest Mu. Only after clarifying it can I confirm my guess." Finished speaking, Gao Weihu turned his head and asked Han Yan, "Priest Mu, on the day you planted the Life Ancient Tree, did it grow this large immediately? And at night, did it bloom with ten curious flowers, pure white and crystalline? Contrary to the tree’s lofty stature, the flowers were exceptionally tiny, each only the size of a little finger, and wouldn’t have been noticed without careful observation?"

Bloom? What bloom? Han Yan had been immensely curious about this Life Ancient Tree, eager to pull it out entirely for detailed study. Coincidentally, Huayu City had just gone through a battle, with the people repairing the city overnight. Han Yan didn’t want to slack off, so she stood on the second floor of the temple overseeing everything at night. Right beside the Life Tree, she saw no blooming. Who’s counting ten just for a nice round number?

Running countless complaints in her mind, but seeing Gao Weihu speak so earnestly, Han Yan still woodenly nodded.

"That’s right, and afterward, did it bear ten fruits, as crystal clear and exquisite as the flowers?" Gao Weihu slapped his thigh, his chubby face brimming with excitement.

Han Yan didn’t know what he wanted to say but continued nodding blankly. He had a whole arsenal of tall stories.

Beside them, Wu Yazi and the others listened as if decoding a Heavenly Book, their expressions full of confusion.

"If I’m not mistaken, you probably tried to pick them, accidentally losing a few?" Gao Weihu continued preaching the Heavenly Book.
