Chapter 698 Journey to the Mountains and Seas 6
She shook her head: "I'm not interested in that stuff. I think our Qingyun Sect's 'Peerless Divine Skill' is also very powerful."
The name "Peerless Divine Skill"...
"What's wrong?" Although Wen Piaoran was wearing a mask, he could still see that she was staring at him expressionlessly.
Xiao Qiushui swallowed hard and changed what she originally wanted to say as a childish remark: "Okay, this name is very good. It sounds powerful and domineering."
Wen Piaoran then let him go. Although she also thought it was childish, she couldn't admit that she had chosen the name herself.
However, she still agreed to go to the Huanhua Sword Sect, which meant she could be the first to witness the drama unfold.
*
Recently, whether openly or covertly, quite a few people have been visiting the Huanhua Sword Sect, all for the Hero Token.
Xiao Qiushui took Wen Piaoran back. At this critical juncture, not only his parents would have many thoughts about the person who appeared, but Liu Suifeng, who was infiltrating the mansion, would also inevitably have many concerns.
As Wen Piaoran was drinking tea in the pavilion, Madam Xiao came over to speak and probe, ostensibly to entertain a friend her son had brought back.
When Xiao Qiushui found out, she rushed over and took her mother away to explain.
Not long after the two left, Liu Suifeng, dressed in a blue robe and looking like a handsome young man, also walked into the vicinity as if by chance.
Seeing her stop there, he calmly walked over.
He walked with a breezy gait and had a great figure, making him quite pleasing to the eye. Wen Piaoran simply watched him with admiration while sipping her tea.
"Miss Ning, I was just passing by during a walk and I'm a little thirsty. Would it be convenient for me to sit down and have a cup of tea?"
Wen Piaoran smiled and raised her hand, gesturing for him to sit down: "Of course you can."
Liu Suifeng poured himself a cup of tea, his movements elegant and composed, flowing smoothly like water.
After putting down his teacup, he spoke as if chatting casually: "Judging from Miss Ning, she doesn't seem to come from an ordinary family. I haven't heard a single rumor about her in the martial arts world."
"Young Master Feng, you flatter me. I come from an ordinary family and have no connection to any rumors," Wen Piaoran said with a smile.
She wasn't lying; the original owner of this body was indeed from an ordinary family, and later she lived in seclusion with her adoptive mother.
Liu Suifeng turned his head slightly and deliberately probed, "The Xiao family has a certain status in Jinzhong. For Brother Xiao to be able to get along so well with you, Miss Ning, you must have some extraordinary qualities."
He had reason to suspect that this person was also after the Hero's Token, but he couldn't get her identity out of Xiao Qiushui.
If you don't investigate your competitors' identities thoroughly, it's easy for unexpected things to happen, which is not in line with your usual style.
Wen Piaoran saw Xiao Qiushui coming from afar and suddenly had an idea.
She glanced at Liu Suifeng a few times, then stared intently at his face with surprise and astonishment in her eyes.
Liu Suifeng was puzzled by her gaze: "Miss Ning, what are you looking at?"
“Young Master Feng looks somewhat familiar. I think I’ve seen you before.” Wen Piaoran looked at him for a long time before suddenly making a startling remark.
Xiao Qiushui, who had walked over, didn't seem to react much to her words, only thinking that she might have met "Feng Lang" before.
But Liu Suifeng was different; there was no sign of anything unusual on his face.
But in his heart he was thinking that very few people knew his identity or had ever met him. If this person was just an ordinary person, they should not have met or known him.
Xiao Qiushui walked over and sat down: "What are you talking about? Ning Qi, have you met Feng Lang before?"
"I think he looks a lot like someone I know."
Thinking of her identity, Xiao Qiushui glanced at Liu Suifeng and asked, "Who does she resemble?"
Liu Suifeng remained expressionless; in fact, the perfectly measured curiosity and doubt in his eyes suggested that he was also wondering who he resembled.
In reality, he remained composed. If he were to take action now, it would be like trying to hide something obvious, revealing that he had a problem.
Wen Piaoran couldn't help but sigh after reading it. As one of the beautiful, strong, and tragic villains in the drama, Liu Suifeng was indeed very composed.
He impersonated Xiao Qiushui to get the Hero's Token. Since he wouldn't get it in the end anyway, there's no problem with him revealing his identity in advance.
Who told him to be a member of the Power Gang? He had some friction with the Qingyun Sect before, so he just wanted to retaliate a little.
Thinking of this, Wen Piaoran curled the corners of her lips.
She didn't give the two a chance to react. As if she had thought it through, she clearly and directly said, "Like Liu Suifeng, the vice leader of the Power Gang."
As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere among them instantly fell silent, and Xiao Qiushui was filled with doubt and suspicion.
Upon hearing her words, Liu Suifeng's pupils dilated slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
He suppressed his urge to attack and forced a faint smile: "Miss Ning must be mistaken. How could I possibly look like someone from the Power Gang?"
He won't admit it unless she has evidence. Xiao Qiushui still calls herself a lucky bag, so she should believe him.
He felt that this "Ning Qi" was trying to squeeze him out for the Hero's Token, and that his purpose was the same as his: to take advantage of the chaos.
However, Liu Suifeng underestimated Xiao Qiushui's trust in Wen Piaoran, or rather, he miscalculated because he didn't know her true identity.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Qiushui asked, "Ning Qi, are you sure?"
He actually believed it to some extent, after all, given Wen Piaoran's identity, she should have met Liu Suifeng before, or at least know what he looked like.
However, he fits Feng Lang's identity perfectly, including the location of the scars on his body, which are the same as those he wrote.
Seeing that Xiao Qiushui actually trusted Ning Qi more, Liu Suifeng knew something was wrong.
A mischievous glint flashed in Wen Piaoran's eyes as he nodded and said, "It's confirmed. Young Master Fenglang looks exactly like Liu Suifeng. What a coincidence!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiushui, being quite clever, connected the dots with the previous coincidences and the odd things about "Feng Lang," and instantly realized he had been tricked.
He turned to look at "Feng Lang": "You're not Feng Lang, who are you? Liu Suifeng?"
Upon seeing this, Liu Suifeng knew that he had been completely exposed.
A slight, almost imperceptible curve appeared at the corner of his mouth as he stared intently at Wen Piaoran for a couple of moments.
It was as if they wanted to see her face clearly through the mask she was wearing.
Wen Piaoran also smiled and winked, her eyes playful yet wicked.
Finally, Liu Suifeng's tone remained calm and gentle, and he spoke slowly and deliberately: "I didn't mean to hide it from Brother Xiao. I miscalculated this time. Miss Ning has left a deep impression on me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve, and two silver thread-like hidden weapons flew towards Wen Piaoran and Xiao Qiushui.
Wen Piaoran dodged to the side, reached out and flicked the silver thread lightly, instantly dissipating the internal force on it.
Xiao Qiushui also dodged, and then the tea set on the stone table was overturned and thrown at the two of them.
After they had moved aside, Liu Suifeng had already used his lightness skill to fly away.
