Chapter 808: Chapter 809: Hard to Apprehend
Nianyang and Li Tingyanâs hearts sank simultaneously; was this the end of the clues?
"However..." Wen Qingmuâs two words immediately piqued their curiosity. The handsome man slowly said, "In that family back then, there was a woman the same age as Alan called Phoenix, who was a doctor there, most skilled in the Disguise Technique."
Disguise Technique?
Nianyang and Li Tingyan exchanged a glance. Nianyang asked, "Master Beauty, yesterday I felt there was something strange about the Jade Kingâs voice, like it had a hint of femininity. So is this Jade King the Phoenix?"
Wen Qingmu repeatedly watched the surveillance, his gaze sinking, and he nodded lightly.
"I can confirm, the Jade King is Phoenix, she has recognized you, probably last night she came specifically for you."
Li Tingyanâs eyes were shrouded in gloom. "Elder Wen, what personal relationship does this Phoenix have with that family?"
Wen Qingmu replied, "Didnât you capture a group of pirates? They are likely the ones that family relied on to survive. Piracy is the fastest way to make money, with so many people in and out of their sect, they couldnât possibly sit idle and survive. Doing other businesses would easily expose them, so they developed piracy to steal supplies and make money."
"I went to ask this morning, and they were just some riffraff from Phoenixâs group, without direct contact with Phoenix. They didnât have any important information, and Phoenixâs group is very cunning, itâs hard to find them."
Wen Qingmuâs expression was indifferent, "Phoenixâs group is indeed hard to catch, they are very experienced in organization.
Eighteen years ago we suffered heavy losses and still couldnât completely capture them.
"Now they must be even more guarded. That Phoenix was the adopted sister of the familyâs patriarch back then. Sheâs definitely coming after Nianyang for revenge for her brother, you must be extremely careful."
Nianyang suddenly spoke, "Does Phoenix like Master Beauty?"
Wen Qingmu froze for a moment, pursed his lips with some disgust, as if the association with Phoenix made him very nauseous, "How did you know?"
Nianyang chuckled softly, "Master Beauty, you didnât know, did you? A womanâs intuition is always accurate. The way that Phoenix looked at me was full of hostility. If she was merely avenging her brother, she wouldnât go through so many hoops, sheâd deal with me directly, thatâs why I have this suspicion."
After all, Phoenix is the same age as the grand-aunt, and with Master Beauty being so enchanting, able to attract the grand-aunt, how could he not attract that Phoenix, right?
Wen Qingmu nodded, "You are very smart, Phoenix does like me, but such women donât catch my eye. However, sheâs very vicious, may particularly hate you because of Alan, and her disguise skill is exceptional, almost flawless, so itâs hard to detect. You must be careful, trust no strangers."

Leaving the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family, returning to the car, Li Tingyanâs face was unusually grim. Nianyang leaned over, touched his dark face, and softly asked, "Whatâs wrong, Ayang, still thinking about that Phoenix?"
Li Tingyan quietly looked at Nianyang, holding her hand, his voice somewhat hoarse as he spoke, "Nini, there are hidden dangers around you. Iâm very worried about you."
Nianyang embraced the man, gently soothing him, "Donât worry, my skills are quite good, and I have space, at worst thereâs always the Golden Silkworm Gu. Who can do anything to me?"
