National Guardian True Man?
From behind nearby doors, windows, and walls came curious heads, peering out and whispering.
"National Guardian True Man, this is my first time seeing one..."
"No, no, doesn't this person look more like a demon?"
"Pah, what do you know? Without a fierce countenance, how can he suppress those evil spirits? I heard the State Preceptor in the Capital City has three heads, six arms, a blue face, and sharp fangs..."
That's just how the common folk are; scared half to death just a moment ago, but can't resist gathering curiously when the Astronomical Bureau arrives.
The National Guardian True Man rarely shows up before common people, so all kinds of rumors spread in the populace.
Zhang Kui shook his head speechlessly and patted the short fur on Fatty Tiger's head, saying, "I'm not the National Guardian True Man; this is a token from an elder, just to prove that I'm not a bad person."
