Chapter 2, The Strategy of Distant Alliances and Close Attacks is Always Advantageous (Part 2)
Shameless
Now only I have noticed it. If you do not cover up the flaws, soon 90% of the people in Yulong Manor will also see it. There are indeed sharp-eyed individuals in the martial world. Moreover..." The young man smiled, his gaze falling on the girl's noticeably full chest. "What they said is not wrong; you... are indeed quite impressive.
Bang!
What is my name
The young girl remained silent, her palms slowly overlapping. This gesture appeared casual, yet it was a sign of preparation. The moment her fingers moved, the ground beneath the young man would erupt with extreme frost, freezing him solid within 0.1 seconds, turning him into a large block of ice that could be shattered with a light tap, easily swept away, leaving bystanders completely unaware... Similar traps were scattered throughout the Jade Dragon Manor. This guy had truly picked the wrong person to bully...
... ... You may ask.
Can't find you? This town is so small, and you stand out so much. Not to mention, just your big beard alone...
No, as a newcomer in the martial world, I merely wish to rise to a higher position sooner; the ceremony must follow the proper procedures. By the way, I have a question that I have always wanted to ask you, Tu Shu. There is a secret hidden in your name, and I hope you can answer it for me, as a way to repay my first favor.
"Just fool them; they have never seen such high-end goods anyway. They will believe anything they casually glance at. A group of victims of authoritarianism. Sigh, poor children..."
The young girl sensed something was amiss and glared at the young man, only to see him grinning as he tore off a large, disheveled fake beard that was stuck to his face. With a casual pull, he removed it, revealing a clean and fair face beneath. It was delicate and charming, instantly endearing to those who looked at it. Yet, for some reason, this face... seemed to carry a hint of mischief.
"I remember your name is Fengxiang..." The young man's expression was serious, his gaze very earnest, "Is your sewing... really that fragrant?"
The young girl was taken aback, unsure how this person knew her name. However, upon reflection, she realized that since he had been watching her for three days, it was not surprising that he might have heard her name. It was just... he was rambling on about these things, praying in a way that seemed more like madness. Was he out of his mind?
Stay calm! One should live harmoniously and not resort to violence at the slightest provocation. The murderous intent in your eyes is almost palpable. Killing me would bring you no benefit; dealing with a corpse is quite disgusting. Moreover, I am not here to be your enemy; perhaps I could even assist you. Let us all show some sincerity and be more amicable, shall we
Among all the people I have encountered, this fellow's quick wit and adaptability are truly exceptional... Sigh, I have never really navigated the world of martial arts, so I do not know what a truly intelligent person is like. I have heard that those wise individuals can devise countless strategies with just a thought; I am certainly not capable of that... However, if it is merely a matter of dealing with this fellow, it should not be too difficult.
Such a brazen individual, the young girl had never encountered anyone like him in her life. At that moment, she felt a dizzying anger and managed to say, "You can't possibly be asking me to hide you, so that you can enter Silver Valley, can you? If you have such an idea, I advise you..."
Once again, a sound fell upon her face. The girl, having just received a slap, angrily exclaimed: "The teacher said that there is not a single good person among the followers of the Holy Lotus Sect, so I will not owe you any favors."
With a single strike, the girl seemed to sense something amiss, stepping back and saying awkwardly: "I look so... so ordinary, why would you want me like this? You're just as blind as those people from earlier!"
But ... ... they ... ... their hands ... ...
No need, the favors from adults should be reserved for future use. I can handle this minor situation myself. In the vast sea of people, they may not necessarily be able to find me.
The young girl furrowed her brows; upon seeing this, she instead calmed down, vaguely sensing that this young man seemed to be persistently provoking her anger. Although she did not understand his motives, there was no reason to allow him to have his way. The more she faced provocation, the more she should remain composed.
"You are lurking here; if it weren't for me, you would have already exposed your identity just now. I believe you wouldn't want such a thing to happen, so, in an invisible way, I have already done you a great favor, and you owe me a significant debt of gratitude." The young man laughed and said, "I haven't thought about how to repay this favor yet; I'll come to find you when I do. However, if you are willing, I wouldn't mind if you offered yourself to me tonight, haha."
"Well! They truly are blind to the obvious, but I am different." After receiving a slap, the young man was not the least bit angry and smiled, saying: "Gilfihart is a great alchemist, that much is true, but when it comes to disguise techniques, he is merely an amateur. The seam marks of the disguise cream on your neck are too obvious, and your nose looks strange... Young lady, every profession has its specialization; it is not simply a matter of slapping a fake mask on your face and calling it a disguise."
The young man shrugged and casually revealed several identical fake gold medals from his sleeve, "I have already mentioned that in this world, I rely on props. When it's far away, I shoot arrows; when it's close, I show the gold medals. The white lotus gold medal is my tool for making a living, so of course I need to carry a few more with me."
Have you gone mad again
Fengxiang does not feel that her name holds any secrets, but her curiosity has indeed been piqued. After all, it is not about revealing the whereabouts of Gilfihart, nor is it about bringing anyone into Silver Valley. Agreeing to a small matter should not be a problem, right
The beard is gone now, and I still have several sets of clean clothes with me. Tell me, where are they going to find a scruffy man with a big beard later?
Is Gilfihart your master? Interesting, but one shouldn't generalize. Your teacher was also one of the four deities of the Holy Lotus Sect: the healer, the diviner, the astrologer, and the craftsman. Are you going to insult him as well? Moreover, the people of the Holy Lotus Sect are not good people; what does that have to do with me?" The young man looked at the gold medal in his hand and said, "Oh, you mean this? It's just a prop, don't mind it.
After speaking, he casually squeezed, and the gold medal shattered with a sound. Not only was it not made of gold, but it was also hollow. The young girl was momentarily stunned, and she exclaimed, "The gold medal is fake? Then what you just..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl, her face flushed with anger, took a swift step forward and delivered a resounding slap to him.
The young man smiled slightly, took out a booklet from his pocket, and opened to the first page. "Hmm, showing off once again. Now, the second point... uh, on this day, at this moment, Dongfang Lianxue and Fengxiang met in the garden. At that time, apart from future historians, no one could predict how much upheaval these two rising stars of the martial world would bring to the world..."... uh, on this day, at this moment, Dongfang Lianxue and Fengxiang met in the garden. At that time, apart from future historians, no one could predict how much upheaval these two rising stars of the martial world would bring to the world..."
"Am I to blame? I want them to return the arrows; they chopped off their own hands. What does that have to do with me? Being in the underworld has made them dull-witted, truly a disgrace to the martial arts community." The young man replied, "Those few people are not dead; they will inevitably leak information when they return. Their superior is not so easily deceived. It’s possible that they will start investigating the matter of the counterfeit Sacred Lotus Envoy. I have taken on such a significant risk for you, and now you owe me a great favor."
Can you see it?
