Chapter 706 “A Good Play’s Opening (1)”
Muzhen’s heart panicked at first over that strange gaze, No, the chief would definitely take my side over some outsider. There’s no way he would abandon me for some stranger! As for Zhongnan and Zhongbei, they only just broke through to the higher level, they could never beat me with their current skill!
Not far away, a series of footsteps soon came into their ears, causing Bai Yan to swing around to meet the oncoming crowd. A flicker of surprise filled those eyes at who it was.
Not that guy again….
Right now the chief and his wife were leading the pack after not finding the two seniors at the Zhong Manor.
“Zhongnan, Zhongbei, you two made a breakthrough?” Jun Tian Yue (wife) sounded very happy at the revelation. She’s the mistress of the Misty Fairy House so any form of strength increase meant the enhancement of her own house.
Its just that…..
Didn’t they suffer a crippling injury? How are they able to suddenly make a breakthrough, what changed?
“Chief.” Muzhen became overjoyed at the sight of who came. Taking the initiative, she steps in front of the chief and his family.
“Elder Muzhen, what are you doing?” Chief Wu Wei asks, his face making a frown.
“The matter is like this,” Muzhen’s gaze flashed with a cold glint as she twists the truth. “This Miss Ho is the one who saved Huan Yin that day, but due to the fright she suffered while inside the Dragon River, I decided to take it upon myself to help her with the revenge against these dragons! Yet when I’m here carrying out my duty, Zhongbei and Zhongnan’s disciple suddenly interfered and even colluded with the dragons to side with them. I suspect they are all in on this and orchestrated the whole attack that day!”
Muzhen didn’t have a lot of strong points to her personality but her skill in pouring dirty water at others were one of a kind. Towards this, Bai Yan just had to hand it to this old hag.
Jun Tian Yue (wife) first shot an examining look over to Ho Cui Cui, her brows raised. This girl doesn’t seem special at all, is she really the one who saved Huan Yin?
Growing doubtful, the madam then shifts her attention over to Bai Yan when she became highly startled by the air around the woman in red.
“Girl, what’s your name?”
This lassie… why does she seem so familiar? Have I seen her somewhere before?
It’s not just the wife who’s getting this sensation, the husband was also getting this feeling and wanted to grasp at that fleeting memory.
“Wife, have you noticed this girl’s contour is very similar to Yun Feng’s (first son)?” Hesitant in his tone, Chief Wu Wei whispers to his wife.
It’s not just the girl’s contour, in fact, those eyes were so close that it’s giving this couple Déjà vu, confusing their eldest son for some reason.
Ho Cui Cui was still waiting for the chief and his wife to speak with her, but despite the long wait, no conversation ensued. Rather the entire focus fell onto Bai Yan and this irritated the imposter exponentially.
No!
No way!
I won’t allow anyone to take away my glory!
Just when the fake wanted to throw herself into the conversation, Huan Yin decides to speak up again and get things clear: “Uncle, Aunt, this Miss Bai Yan is the one who really saved me.”
Jun Tian Yue showed an astonished look, her brow growing increasingly wary: “Elder Muzhen, what is the meaning of this?”
Sneering like always: “That’s what I was trying to explain. This woman over there is pretending to be Miss Ho and take her place. They’ve even managed to deceive Huan Yin into believing their lies despite not knowing what that woman on the boat look like.”
