Chapter 391 - 50: Husband, I Will Surely Help You Win the Championship

"Why isn’t Xiaolan back yet?"

Inside the house, Qin Gengyun glanced out the window, a bit worried.

"Don’t worry, young master, Third Sister knows her limits, at most she just kisses and holds hands, she won’t be discovered."

Liu Su said with a mischievous smile.

"Third Sister?"

"Yes, the Lady is the first wife, I’m the second, so naturally Xiaolan is the third sister. Fourth Sister is Si Minglan, Fifth Sister is Xiaowu, oh yes, there’s Fang Xue, so Xiaowu can only be the sixth sister. Ouch! Why did you hit me, young master?"

Liu Su hugged her head, looking at Qin Gengyun pitifully.

"Susu, like I’ve said, I’ll only have my wife as the only woman, don’t talk nonsense again in the future!"

Liu Su chuckled: "But what if Jian Yue wants to become a concubine? Just think, young master, having the top three beauties serve you, what man in the world wouldn’t be lucky?"

Qin Gengyun raised his hand, and Liu Su hugged her head: "I was wrong, I won’t dare again!"

Seeing Qin Gengyun lower his hand, Liu Su muttered softly: "And what about me? I’m the Lady’s proper maid, I should have the right to sleep on the bed too, huh! Young master is truly a big blockhead!"

Right then, there was a gentle knock on the door from outside, Qin Gengyun opened the door, Mo Xiaolan dashed in from outside, appearing flustered and fearful.

"Xiaolan, what happened?"

Liu Su stepped forward to ask.

Mo Xiaolan looked at Qin Gengyun, hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered:

"Just now... Wu Yiren wanted me to kiss her."

"Wow!" Liu Su asked excitedly: "Where did she want to kiss?"

Mo Xiaolan glanced at Qin Gengyun again, pointed at her lips.

"Oh my, wanted a kiss on the lips, did she? This princess sure is bold!"

Liu Su got more excited, pulling Mo Xiaolan and asked repeatedly: "Did you kiss?"

Mo Xiaolan shook her head: "I found an excuse to leave."

"That’s a shame." Liu Su looked regretful, while Qin Gengyun and Mo Xiaolan simultaneously raised their hands to knock her.

Liu Su yelped, holding her head: "You two bully me while the Lady isn’t around! When the Lady returns, I’ll tattletale!"

Qin Gengyun ignored her, turning to Mo Xiaolan and asked: "Did you get anything out of her?"

Mo Xiaolan nodded: "Si Mingcheng is pressing Si Minglan and has arrived in Zhenlian City, estimating they will reach Zhenyang Sect in three days."

Qin Gengyun frowned: "Our time is running short."

Liu Su stopped messing around, suggesting: "In these few days, Xiaolan, you must make Wu Yiren completely lower her guard, so our plan can proceed smoothly."

Mo Xiaolan hesitated: "Actually, I feel Wu Yiren is just a bit spoiled, not inherently bad. Is it too much for us to treat her this way?"

Qin Gengyun said: "Don’t worry, we’re only using the princess as a hostage to exchange for Si Minglan, we will not harm her."

Liu Su said: "Young master, we still have to change our appearances when the time comes, we need to save the Fox Spirit, and we must remain at the Zhenyang Sect too."

Both Qin Gengyun and Mo Xiaolan nodded in agreement; the three discussed for a while longer, and then Mo Xiaolan and Liu Su returned to their respective dwellings.

After they left, Qin Gengyun’s door was knocked again, he was not surprised, opened it and saw Mo Xiaolan had returned.

"Qin Gengyun, you sent me a message to come alone, what do you want to hide from Susu?"

Mo Xiaolan entered and asked.

When she left with Liu Su, Qin Gengyun had sent a message asking her to come alone.

Qin Gengyun pulled out a strand of long hair from his pocket: "Xiaolan, I found this in the Hot Spring Valley on the day I entered Divinity Transformation Peak."

He then briefly recounted what happened that night in the Hot Spring Valley and his suspicions about Ruo Mei.

"Scent?"

Mo Xiaolan widened her eyes. She had struggled at the bottom for survival for years, seldom wearing accessories, and had no scent herself, finding Qin Gengyun’s words unbelievable.

She took the strand of hair and sniffed it, shaking her head: "No scent at all?"

Qin Gengyun paused, confidently said: "I cannot be mistaken, this carries the scent of my wife."

Mo Xiaolan looked at him and nodded: "I believe you, actually, I also feel something is off about that Ruo Mei."

"What’s off?" Qin Gengyun asked hurriedly.

Mo Xiaolan thought for a moment, and said: "I just feel she’s acting, looks weak but strikes with ruthless decisiveness, like another person is hidden within her."

"Right!" Qin Gengyun slapped his thigh: "When my wife disguised as Niantang, it was like this too, not only her looks changed but her personality changed as well."

"But..." Mo Xiaolan said doubtfully: "Taoist Friend Qiu was sealed in the relic of Cyan Lotus Sect, how could she have entered Zhenyang Sect before us?"

"Moreover, I heard Ruo Mei joined Zhenyang Sect three months ago, back then we were still in Northern Wilderness."

Qin Gengyun furrowed his brow, solemnly said: "No matter what, my wife’s scent won’t change, as long as I get close to her, I can confirm whether she’s my wife!"

Mo Xiaolan said: "Alright, I’ll help create an opportunity for you tomorrow."

Qin Gengyun said gratefully: "Xiaolan, thank you."

Mo Xiaolan smiled: "We’re close friends, no need to be so distant."

She then bid farewell to Qin Gengyun and left.

After walking a while, she looked back, sighed softly, and disappeared into the night.

...

On the other side of Danxia Peak, Ruo Mei’s room.

Xia Qinglian sat cross-legged on the bed with eyes closed, her half-red and half-snow-white long hair danced, surrounded by halves of heat and cold.

Suddenly, the array set outside the room stirred, Xia Qinglian opened her eyes, her long hair turned black, her figure shrunk back to Ruo Mei.

Knock knock, someone was knocking on the door outside.

"Junior Sister Ruo, it’s me, your Senior Brother Feng."

Xia Qinglian’s eyes flashed with killing intent, she went to open the door with a dazed expression, rubbing her eyes and said:

"Senior Brother Feng, it’s so late, is there something?"

Feng Tianyun looked down at the gentle and adorable face, admiringly and smiled:

"Junior Sister Ruo, won’t you invite me in?"

Xia Qinglian continued to act innocent: "Senior Brother Feng, I’m sleepy, if you have something to say, say it quickly."

Feng Tianyun smiled: "Junior Sister Ruo, tomorrow I will help you eliminate strong enemies, if we meet, I’ll let you pass, how about that?"

Xia Qinglian said nothing, Feng Tianyun continued:

"I just hope Junior Sister understands, Senior Brother truly cares for you, if we were to become Dao companions, we would surely..."

Bam.

The door suddenly shut.

Feng Tianyun almost got hit on the nose, stepped back, dazed for a moment, then burst into laughter:

"Junior Sister Ruo is adorable even when shy, I like her even more, tomorrow you will surely know my true feelings."

He then left suavely, unaware that behind him, a pair of cold eyes stared at him like a dead man.

Xia Qinglian sneered: "Another one who’s going to die."

She stood by the window, gazing towards Danxia Peak’s other side, where Qin Gengyun resided.

My husband, tomorrow I will definitely help you win the championship!
