Chapter 225: Coming from Afar

Coming from Afar

Yin Fenglian's smile faded slightly, his face showing a bit of seriousness. At this time, hearing this, Nie Jinxuan was stunned instantly, then turned to look at Yin Fengzhan, and then cast her gaze on Yin Fenglian.

"Who is it?"

"Palace Master of the Jade Merchant Hall of the Underworld Night Palace, Gong Wuyai!"

"Gong Wuyai?!"

For the name Yin Fenglian said, Nie Jinxuan clearly had not heard of it. But at this time, Yin Fengzhan's eyes flashed instantly, and he turned his gaze to look at Yin Fenglian.

"From the Underworld Night Palace?"

"That's right!"

Knowing that Yin Fengzhan understood in his heart, Yin Fenglian smiled slightly and then said in a low voice:

"Actually, for the name Gong Wuyai, some people in the Jianghu are already somewhat unfamiliar. But more than twenty years ago, when it came to the Underworld Night Palace, and when it came to the five hall masters of the Underworld Night Palace, there was no one who did not know them. It's just that the Underworld Night Palace was too mysterious, and Jianghu people only knew that there were five halls under the Underworld Night Palace, each hall having a hall master in charge. But for so many years, Jianghu people had only heard of two, while the other three were unknown! And among the only two halls known, the most famous was the Jade Palace Hall Master, who was also the middle-aged man in black with peerless martial arts we encountered before; his name is Leng Tianfang!"

"And besides Leng Tianfang, the other one is the Jade Merchant Hall Master, Gong Wuyai! It's just that it is said that this Gong Wuyai has a strange personality, and his actions are also both righteous and evil. Although he is a man, he uniquely likes everything beautiful in the world! The degree of madness is unimaginable. But even so, besides his martial arts being outstanding, this Gong Wuyai has two unique skills. One is his light martial arts that are peerless in the world, and the other is his disguise technique that no one can recognize!"

"As for how high Gong Wuyai's disguise technique is, I have not seen it with my own eyes. But according to some Jianghu people, this Gong Wuyai has an excellent memory; even if he just brushes shoulders with someone on the street, he can make a mask exactly the same as the other party! The means are so high, it can be called miraculous!"

Yin Fenglian quietly stated the intelligence he had collected in the Jianghu these past few days. Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan frowned instantly.

"Then since that is the case, how can we find him?"

"Find him?! It's hard~!"

Without thinking, he replied to Nie Jinxuan, and then Yin Fengzhan reached out and touched his nose helplessly, then said:

"You think I haven't been looking these past few days? To tell you the truth, now I'm just short of casting a net over the entire Jianghu, but I haven't even seen a shadow of the other party! Of course, this is also easy to understand. That Gong Wuyai has peerless light martial arts, and more than twenty years ago, he was already peerless in the world, and he is proficient in disguise techniques. So, not to mention anything else, even if he walked past you and me right now, we might not be able to tell. Not to mention that we don't even know what he looks like!"

"Furthermore, Princess Consort, don't forget. Gong Wuyai and Leng Tianfang are both hall masters of the Underworld Night Palace. We have both seen Leng Tianfang's martial arts before. Even if Gong Wuyai's martial arts are not as good as Leng Tianfang's, they definitely won't be much worse. So even if we find him, if he doesn't want to talk to us, what can we do?"

Yin Fenglian rarely had a headache, but for the sake of finding Gong Wuyai, he was indeed worried to death. But just at this moment, Yin Fengzhan's mind had a flash of insight, and he raised his head abruptly to look at Nie Jinxuan.

"Oh right, I do remember one thing. Before, that Leng Tianfang once said that you are the person his master is looking for. And he has been waiting for more than twenty years. So if you take the initiative to contact the other party, and then have the Underworld Night Palace Master come forward, I think that Gong Wuyai will definitely..."

Yin Fenglian's eyes shone, but at this time, before he could finish his words, he saw Yin Fengzhan, who had been sitting to the side without speaking, fly an eye-knife over instantly.

"Shut up!"

Two simple words instantly interrupted Yin Fenglian's words. Clearly, Yin Fengzhan did not want Nie Jinxuan to be in danger. But at this time, Nie Jinxuan turned to look at Yin Fengzhan to soothe him, and then said to Yin Fenglian:

"The method Prince Qin mentioned is not impossible. It's just that time is urgent now, and I'm afraid it's too late!"

"Uh... that is also true..."

Being told this by Nie Jinxuan, Yin Fenglian remembered that there was not much time left in the one-month period.

Yin Fenglian stopped speaking, and the room fell into silence. But at this time, after Nie Jinxuan blinked her eyes, she suddenly said in a low voice:

"By the way, Prince Qin, just now you said that Gong Wuyai likes beautiful things the most in his life, right?"

"Uh... yes!"

"Then why don't we find something beautiful and let him find us himself?"

At this moment, Nie Jinxuan's beautiful eyes were filled with light, looking just like a little fox calculating how to steal food. Hearing this, Yin Fenglian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

"That's right! Why didn't I think of that?! Uh... but, what beautiful thing should we take? You must know that the Underworld Night Palace has been hidden in the Jianghu for so many years, and its wealth is unimaginable, so Gong Wuyai is not a shallow person?! Furthermore, beauty and preciousness are not the same thing; it's not that something priceless is necessarily beautiful. So this..."

Yin Fenglian was a pure man, and since he was young, he liked dancing with spears and sticks, and various weapons, so he really didn't know anything about beauty. But at this time, Nie Jinxuan thought silently, and her eyes flashed.

"That's right, I remember now. Before, I once heard Noble Consort Zhang mention it occasionally, saying that at the end of last year, the Caiyun Kingdom in the south presented a national gift to the Emperor, which included an Eight-Treasure Exquisite Fan! It is said that the Eight-Treasure Exquisite Fan is made of thousand-year-old white jade as the frame, woven with peacock tail feathers as the surface, and embroidered with eight-treasure pavilions, lifelike and beautiful..."

Noble Consort Zhang had indeed told Nie Jinxuan about the Eight-Treasure Exquisite Fan while chatting. At that time, Noble Consort Zhang spoke vividly, so Nie Jinxuan had left some impression in her heart.

It was unexpected that it would come in handy at this time. At this time, hearing this, Yin Fenglian was also happy, but just at this moment, before Yin Fenglian could speak, a voice suddenly came from somewhere.

"Eight-Treasure Exquisite Fan?! What kind of thing is that? Take it out and let this seat take a look!"

That voice was neither light nor heavy, neither far nor near, but it was heard clearly by the three people in the room. And that unique voice and the distinct laziness in the voice made an unforgettable impression.

But at this time, hearing that voice, the three people in the room were startled instantly, Yin Fengzhan stood up instantly and pulled Nie Jinxuan behind him, and Yin Fenglian also looked around, his smiling face filled with solemnity!

The surroundings were deathly silent, and even the wind outside the room was silent. But just at this moment, a white shadow flashed, and then a figure appeared before their eyes instantly!

That man appeared suddenly, as if he had popped out of thin air! Seeing this, the three people in the room were even more shocked, and then raised their heads, but just at the moment they saw the person who came, they could not help but be stunned.

That was a man whose age could not be determined, his handsomeness carrying an indescribable coquettishness and femininity, but definitely not womanly. He was tall, with fair skin, his ink-black hair tied behind his head, and he wore a crescent-colored brocade robe, exquisitely crafted, and one could tell at a glance that it was priceless. He was truly unforgettable!

But at this time, looking at the man before him, Yin Fenglian felt shocked. After all, just now there were only three people in the room, but from the words of the man before him, it could be known that he had heard all their conversations, so clearly, he should have been around them all along, but even so, he had not felt it at all!

Furthermore, not just him, looking at Yin Fengzhan's appearance, he should not have discovered the other party's existence either. So the other party's light martial arts must be unimaginably high!

So thinking of this, Yin Fenglian could not help but glance quickly at Yin Fengzhan beside him. Then he cast his gaze back to the man before him and said in a low voice:

"You are... Gong Wuyai, Hall Master Gong?"

Although he had already confirmed the other party's identity in his heart, Yin Fenglian still asked again somewhat nervously. But hearing this, the man before him... who was Gong Wuyai, curled the corners of his mouth somewhat boredly, and then spun around to sit in a nearby seat.

"You boy has been looking for this seat all over the world, what? Are you saying you don't even know what this seat looks like? Tsk, that really lacks aesthetic sense~!"

Saying this, Gong Wuyai crossed his legs, then reached out and hooked a strand of black hair that had fallen onto his chest habitually, and played with it by himself...

Gong Wuyai was casual and natural, exuding an indescribable feeling. Seeing this, Yin Fenglian was stunned, but afterward, he could not help but raise his eyebrows and smile.

"Hehe~ Let Hall Master Gong laugh. This junior did not recognize Mount Tai, and these past few days have caused you quite a bit of trouble, so I ask you to please be understanding~!"

"Alright, this seat is not here to listen to your long-winded talk! I know a little bit about your affairs. You don't need to nag this seat here~!"

Gong Wuyai interrupted Yin Fenglian's words with an unmoved expression. After speaking, his eyes flashed instantly, and he looked at Yin Fengzhan to the side.

"En, so you are the one? A few days ago, when Tianfang came back, he told us about you. There are not many people who can be remembered by that big ice block. It seems your martial arts should be quite good~!"

Gong Wuyai said while looking Yin Fengzhan up and down, but afterward, he turned his gaze and fell on Nie Jinxuan behind him... But just at this moment, just at the moment he saw Nie Jinxuan, Gong Wuyai's expression froze, and after a moment, he stood up and walked directly to Nie Jinxuan.

Gong Wuyai looked intently. Seeing this, Yin Fengzhan's expression sank instantly, and he blocked him with a flash. Instantly, Gong Wuyai was also stunned, then raised his eyes to glare at Yin Fengzhan, and then sat back in his seat.

"Hmph, she doesn't look like much either~! This seat thought what kind of peerless beauty she was..."

Gong Wuyai's tone had obvious disdain. Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan, who had been silent all along, felt fire in her heart, her expression sank, and she stepped forward one step and said:

"Whether beautiful or ugly, everyone turns into a cup of yellow earth after death, so what is the difference?! However, Hall Master Gong came from afar, I suppose it is not just to say to Jinxuan, 'you don't look like much'!"
