Adorable treasured fox: Divine doctor mother overturning the heavens! Chapter 675 - Hypocritical Mu Leng (4)

Chapter 675 “Hypocritical Mu Leng (4)”
The guard in question hurries to present the portrait in front of the lady.
After careful scrutiny, Mu Leng’s expression soon changed from smug to enraged anger. The woman on the portrait was almost surreal in how beautiful it was, far surpassing her own image in every way. In particular were those eyes, its deeply attractive and the key factor in confirming its indeed the same person she met on the boat.
“She is the woman who bought the invitation?” biting her lip, she asks with a frosty tone. “Go deal with that dealer first, then go tell that Ho Cui Cui that if she wants to be a prominent figure around here then she is to do as I say. From this point forward Ho Cui Cui is the woman in this portrait, the very same person who saved Huan Yin!”
If her people could follow the trail and investigate up to this point then it’s a surety that Xun Huan and everyone else would as well. By using Ho Cui Cui to impersonate this unknown woman, Mu Leng could use this to her advantage. After all, no one saw Bai Yan’s true face thanks to the facial veil she wore. As for the air and temperament, that’s easily solvable with time and training.
“Yes, milady.” Getting the order, the guard promptly retreated away to carry out his task.
Heaving a long sigh after seeing she’s alone finally, Mu Leng was just about to put the portrait away when the door to her place was pushed open again. In a panic, she hurried to hide the scroll behind her back and away from the newcomer’s prying eye.
“Shifu, are you looking for me?”
Wrinkling that temple, the old beauty arches her brow inquisitively: “What is that hidden behind you?”
“I…” the girl’s demeanour appeared somewhat edgy.
It’s not that she doesn’t believe her shifu or anything, it’s just that there are some things better left untold whenever possible.
Darkening in the face upon getting no answer from her disciple, the old beauty decides to take matter into her own hands. In a wave, the portrait being hidden was promptly snatched away.
“Shifu!” Mu Leng exclaims in great fright at seeing the scroll being unfolded.
While the young girl herself only wanted to hide the picture, Muzhen on the other hand showed a much bigger reaction than expected. Its as if a ghost had just appeared from the depths of hell and wanted to strangle this old lady, that’s how pale the woman looked at this moment.
“Leng’er, where did you get this portrait from?” Muzhen’s lip trembles as she spoke. It was actually so bad that even her hands were having a hard time keeping the scroll in check and almost dropped it on several occasions.
Though Mu Leng herself doesn’t know what’s gotten into her shifu right now, it doesn’t stop her from giving the details.
“You mean, the woman in this picture is that very same lady?” Muzhen’s eye flashed meaningfully.
“Yes Shifu, that’s her right there.”
“Good, very good! Remember, do not let anyone else see this portrait again!” Returning the scroll to her disciple, Muzhen herself felt relieved for some unknown reason….
Yes, that woman is dead, she couldn’t possibly be alive!
Thinking of this, the old beauty’s mood immediately let up. Evoking a snarling smirk: “Since that woman is the one who saved Huan Yin then she mustn’t be allowed to live. From now on forward, I will try to muddle the search effort. As to Huan Yin’s side, Leng’er, you will need to count on yourself to do your half…”
“I understand Shifu.”
Although Mu Leng didn’t know the specifics yet regarding the search effort, she did understand enough that there’s no possible way the woman could’ve survived after being eaten by a dragon.
“Oh yes…” Muzhen’s gaze narrowed into a slit, “Your plan will need to be adjusted to the situation. Even if the temperament is similar, its useless. What’s really important is the body shape, after all, that Xun Huan is no fool when it comes to the opposite sex. He’s sharper than anyone in the Misty Fairy House when recognizing a female’s body!”
