Chapter 196

Although she knew the outcome of victory and defeat had long been decided.

Gazing at the tide beneath the moonlight, the little loli murmured softly: "Brother Xiaoyu, Brother Wuque, Uncle Yan has already found the true cultivation method of the 'Dowry Divine Art.' He's doing very well now, you don't need to worry."

【Jiang Xiaoyu and Jiang Wuque, not Xiaoyu'er and Hua Wuque】

【The two brothers differ by several years in age, not twins】

【Both share the same Master, Yan Nan, not the Ten Great Villains of Villains' Valley nor the Yao Yue and Lian Xing of Yihua Palace】

【It seems the plot of "The Proud Twins" has already become completely unrecognizable】

【Then is their birth mother still Hua Yue Nu?】

Yunzhou, Embroidered Jade Valley, Yihua Palace....

Ever since Lian Xing brought back the "Five Greats' Sacred Art," Yao Yue went into closed-door cultivation.

Although Yao Yue was a woman, her heart's desire for strength and advancement was no weaker than any man's.

And to gain a foothold in this jianghu where dragons and tigers lay hidden, and to keep Yihua Palace forever feared by all, one needed sufficient strength.

Although the "Kunji Seal" provided them with a powerful layer of protection for their personal safety, Yao Yue would not be satisfied with just that.

What she wanted was not only to not be bullied, but also to have the ability to bully others!

And Lian Xing was different.

With the "Kunji Seal" protecting her, with a monthly reward of true Qi, and with a diligent elder sister fighting ahead, she simply lay flat.

Only when bored would she pick up the newly obtained sacred scripture to study it.

At this moment, in the Lonely Star Hall, she sat in a circle with Hua Yue Nu, Hua Hua Xingnu, and Tie Tie Pinggu, without a trace of a Palace Master's airs.

Although the three women were maidservants, ever since learning they too possessed diary copies, Lian Xing no longer regarded them as servants in her heart.

Naturally, their relationship grew ever closer.

As the diary's contents updated, the four women froze simultaneously.

"Jiang Wuque? No, Hua Wuque. My sister and I took Hua Wuque as a disciple?" Lian Xing's sandalwood lips parted slightly, her face full of astonishment.

Hua Yue Nu was even more dumbfounded: "I'm Xiaoyu'er and Hua Wuque's birth mother?"

The four women exchanged glances, still in surprise.

One must know that Yihua Palace did not permit men, and the palace's maidservants were also not allowed to marry.

But now, the Hua Yue Nu in the story, and even the two Palace Masters, had undoubtedly violated the palace rules.

What was going on?

The four women immediately realized that the story within was most likely going to break taboos!

None of them spoke at present, merely quietly waiting for what came next.

The relaxed and pleasant atmosphere of a moment ago suddenly gained a trace of tension.

217 Lian Xing: Sister is so domineering, I really want to beat her up!

"The Proud Twins? Does it refer to Xiaoyu'er and Hua Wuque?"

"Interesting, Xie Xiaofeng is also a protagonist, so this is a destined-son mutual slaughter?"

Some troublemakers who feared the world would not be chaotic immediately grew greatly interested.

【In the story of "The Proud Twins," besides Yan Nan, the "Number One Divine Sword Under Heaven," there is also a "Number One Handsome Man Under Heaven"】

【The opening declares――】

【Anyone in the jianghu with ears has never heard the names "Jade Gentleman" Jiang Feng and Yan Nan】

【Anyone in the jianghu with eyes has never not wished to see Jiang Feng's peerless elegance and Yan Nan's unrivaled divine sword】

【Only because everyone knows that no maiden in the world can withstand Jiang Feng's slight smile, and no hero can withstand Yan Nan's gentle sword stroke】

【Everyone believes that Yan Nan's sword can not only take a commander's head amidst a million troops, but also split a single hair into two; while Jiang Feng's smile can shatter a maiden's heart】

【Never... any 27...】

【Fine, another absolute tone, another familiar exaggerated style】

【But this doesn't matter, the point is: Jiang Feng is very handsome, loved by all】

【Of course, "all" here refers only to "women"】

"No maiden in the world can withstand Jiang Feng's slight smile?"

Hearing this line, some women scoffed, while others grew curious.

Those who scoffed felt the author had belittled all women, viewing them too shallowly.

Those curious wondered how handsome a man had to be to warrant such a setting.

But without a doubt, the name "Jiang Feng" was remembered by everyone.

……

On Worry-Free Island, Qingqing tilted her head, lost in thought.

Is Uncle Jiang good-looking?

The answer was affirmative.

But to say his smile could shatter every maiden's heart...

She didn't know about others, but she herself felt no such thing.

【Besides this, there are also two beauties tied for first under heaven】

【Zhang Zhang Sanniang's outward grace, Shengong Yao Yue's beauty】

"What about me?"

In the Lonely Star Hall, Lian Xing's little face darkened, her mood growing even less pleasant.

Hua Yue Nu and the other two women fell silent as cicadas in winter, secretly exchanging glances, all somewhat puzzled.

After all, that the two Palace Masters' beauty was evenly matched was almost universally acknowledged by everyone in Yihua Palace.

However, the "number one beauty" in the story had her spot taken by Zhang Zhang Sanniang.

No wonder the proud Lianxing Society felt so displeased.

But then… who is this Zhang Zhang Sanniang?

……

Mengzhou, on the great grassland.

An unparalleled beauty rode a fine steed of the "Black Cloud Treading Snow" lineage, a pair of heirloom swords "Flowing Cloud Flying Moon" at her waist, slowly crossing the grassland.

She held a copy of the diary in her hands, and upon seeing her own name appear on it, her calm eyes rippled with a faint stir.

【At the beginning of the story, Jiang Feng's bookboy Jiang Qin, in pursuit of wealth and status, betrayed Jiang Feng who had treated him like a brother, and revealed his whereabouts to the jianghu villains known as the "Twelve Star Aspects"】

【The "Twelve Star Aspects" set out to ambush Jiang Feng, but happened to run into Lianxing, the Second Palace Master of the Shifted Flower Palace】

【Lianxing was a seasoned face-con; seeing how handsome Jiang Feng was, she stepped in to save him, and then took it upon herself to bring him back to the Shifted Flower Palace, where no man was permitted to set foot】

Swish—

Hua Yue Nu and the other two women instinctively looked up, all turning their gazes toward Lianxing.

Lianxing's breathtakingly beautiful jade-like face instantly flushed crimson.

She had actually broken the Shifted Flower Palace's rules for a strange man.

And the reason was… that the man was good-looking!

In other words, she had purely acted on lust at first sight.

Thinking of this, Lianxing's ears and neck turned red, her exquisite jade countenance seeming as though it might bleed.

Especially under the gazes of the three women, she grew so embarrassed that her toes curled up inside her shoes.

Forcibly suppressing the urge to turn and flee, Lianxing steadied herself and cast a calm glance toward the three women.

The three women did not dare look too long; after that first glance, they lowered their heads.

Seeing them so tactful, Lianxing kept her composure on the surface, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief within.

But then, she knit her brows again: "Oh no, my sister must have seen it too."

【When the Grand Palace Master Seeing Yao Yue learned of this, she immediately came to call her to account】

【But she too was a fellow face-con, and just like Lianxing, the moment she saw Jiang Feng's face, she fell for him at once】

【She not only allowed Jiang Feng to stay in the Shifted Flower Palace, but snatched him away from Lianxing, then spared no expense in depleting her own cultivation to heal his wounds, and even had her personal maidservant Hua Yue Nu attend to him】

Lianxing: "……"

Well then, she need not worry about her sister blaming her anymore.

Because Seeing Yao Yue had gone even further.

"Stealing a man right out of my hands — big sister is as domineering as ever."
