Chapter 211

【The three men then went off to look for the sword boy.】

"So he's the young master of Kong Que Shanzhuang—no small background. Then that person from before was Qiu Qiu Tianming?" Wu Zhou suddenly understood.

As someone who hid herself even deeper, she could naturally tell that Xiao Wu was no ordinary person; she just wasn't certain of his exact identity, that's all.

""Heh, still a protagonist, blessed with fate upon him—no wonder he can't die."

Today, when Xiao Wu went to fetch the "Dragon-Saliva Tea," he had clearly stolen a few bites of the tea leaves.

"Dragon-Saliva Tea" is an extremely yang and violently hot thing; barring accidents, Xiao Wu would soon have fire rushing to his heart and die.

But he happened to run into Simple yet heavy after.

And because he had come into contact with the divine sword, he was seized by Simple yet heavy after, who used the Frost Palm to ice him for a while.

Cold and heat canceling each other out, Xiao Wu only just managed to snatch back one life.

Not only that, once he woke up, his cultivation would greatly increase!

Misfortune turns to fortune, calamity becomes auspicious—isn't this exactly the treatment of a protagonist?

……

A small farmyard.

"Xiao Wu is Qiu Qiu Fengwu? He's also an undercover agent?"

Liu Xing's mind replayed its memories: last time when he went to the "July Fifteenth" branch altar to see Ximen Yu, he had clearly seen this person there.

No—rather, he was no stranger to any of Ximen Yu's subordinates.

"Ma Feng, the sword boy of the Rain Clan—his sword comes from the Rain Clan, no wonder it's so divine and strange."

Liu Xing was suddenly enlightened, and at the same time began calculating in his heart.

……

Kong Que Shanzhuang.

Miss Nangong glanced at Qiu Qiu Fengwu on the bed, sighed, and said: "It's over, all the effort this time was completely wasted."

Jiang Sishui had actually exposed Qiu Qiu Fengwu's identity in his diary, which meant the undercover plan had already been declared a failure.

She simply couldn't believe that the vast Qinglong Society would not have a single person with a copy of the diary.

If Qiu Qiu Fengwu were allowed to go back at this point, that would be "sending a lamb into a tiger's mouth."

【The new Witch-Venerable of the Rain Clan is immensely powerful, and upon birth forgets the past—such a good opportunity, how could I possibly let it slip?】

【So I decided to help her out】

【But their spatial-shifting ability was too freakish, and I lost them immediately】

【In the end I still had to use the "Seeking-Object Luo Pan" to lock onto the position of the Rain Clan's divine sword before I could find them】

【Whew, one step later and Simple yet heavy after, this backup Witch-Venerable, would have been gone for good】.

"Such a good opportunity?"

Noting Jiang Sishui's choice of words, Wu Zhou's heart gave an uneasy lurch.

What is he trying to do?

Combining the situation and what came before, she immediately had an ominous guess: "This guy—could he be thinking of running off with our Rain Clan's new Witch-Venerable?"

Flipping through the past diary entries, then thinking of Simple yet heavy after's delicate little face and noble status, Jiang Sishui really would do something like this!

Wu Zhou's brows knitted tightly.

If the new Witch-Venerable, so painstakingly cultivated, were to be run off with, where would the Rain Clan go from there?

"Simple yet heavy after almost died?"

"Right—she drank the 'Dragon-Saliva Tea,' so she can no longer maintain her uninjured body and undying self."

【Simple yet heavy after was critically wounded and on the verge of death because the sword boy Ma Feng used her to block Ximen Yu's fatal strike】

【This Ma Feng is just a selfish, heartless villain in the drama—in real life he's just as disgusting】

【Just like in the story, two childhood sweethearts reunite after ten years; Ma Feng neither accepts Simple yet heavy after's love nor is willing to let go and help her become Witch-Venerable】

【What Ma Feng has for Simple yet heavy after is only a twisted, perverted desire to possess】

【He is deeply addicted to the feeling of being loved wholeheartedly by someone, yet cannot love her in return】

【To keep Simple yet heavy after from forgetting him, he would even rather she die carrying the memories and affection between them】

【In the drama, to avoid being captured back to the Ice Domain, Ma Feng even deliberately misled Gao Li, using his hand to kill Simple yet heavy after】

【For someone like him, every extra moment alive in this world is a waste of air; even his corpse buried in the ground is a waste of land】

【After thinking it over, "physical transcendence" and "corpse-dissolving liquid" suit him best】

"Ma Feng……"

Wu Zhou chewed on the name, and the image of a little boy surfaced in her mind.

The Rain Clan people were few to begin with, so as long as she had met them, she remembered every single person in the clan.

Therefore, whether it was Simple yet heavy after or Ma Feng, Wu Zhou had an impression of them both.

She hadn't expected that in the blink of ten years, little Simple yet heavy after had become the Rain Clan's most noble backup Witch-Venerable.

And that shy little boy Ma Feng had become a scumbag.

Things remained, but people had changed—Wu Zhou's heart was filled with a thousand sighs.

……

A small farmyard.

"Ma Feng used Simple yet heavy after to block Ximen Yu's fatal strike? Ximen Yu wanted to kill Ma Feng?"

Liu Xing fell into thought.

(chdh)At this moment, her heart held some disappointment.

Because, judging by the current signs, today's diary entry was unmistakably about the mysterious Rain Clan, not Kong Que Shanzhuang.

This left her somewhat listless.

Her gaze swept across the page, and Liu Xing's beautiful eyes, which had been careless a moment ago, suddenly flew wide open.

【Along with Ma Feng, there was also an assassin called "July Fifteenth" named Gao Li; I let him go】

【First, there was no grudge or enmity between us】

【Second, he is a man of feeling】

【Third, through him I can find Jin Kaijia, the father of the female lead Liu Xing from "Kong Que Ling"】

【If the plot hasn't changed, Jin Kaijia is hiding in the home of Gao Li's girlfriend Shuangshuang】

"Father! It's Father!"

Liu Xing suddenly stood up, her expression inexcusably agitated.

After so many years, she had tried every possible method, yet could not find her missing father.

Day after day, year after year passed, and she was nearly in despair.

Now, having endured the long night until the clouds parted and the moon shone through, she had finally learned news of her father.

A tremendous joy flooded her chest, and Liu Xing was so happy her whole body was trembling.

【Liu Xing is a very charming woman; I wonder if she has met Qiu Fengwu yet?】

【Her two greatest wishes are: first, to find her missing father and reunite the whole family; second, to take back her soul tablet, gain freedom, and never be controlled by others again】

【If I help her fulfill these two wishes, it will be all the easier to win her heart】

"Qiu Fengwu... I am the female lead of the drama..."

After the great joy, Liu Xing had gradually calmed down and begun to carefully analyze the diary's contents.

"That young man—in the story, he is actually my husband?"

"Help me find my father, help me take back the soul tablet—it's rare that you have such a heart, but..."

Thinking of those two terrifying existences, Liu Xing felt no confidence at all.

In fact, after learning the function of the "Kunji Seal," she had once tried to resist the other party, attempting to take back her soul tablet.

The final result was that she was suppressed.

So, can Jiang Sishui do it?

With her very life hanging in the balance, Liu Xing's heart began to pound wildly.

【Before killing Ma Feng, I borrowed his hand to help Hou Jian complete the final step of advancing to Wu Zun】

【Now, I'll just wait for dawn tomorrow and see how much Hou Jian still remembers】

【If I can lure Hou Jian away, that would absolutely be a powerful helper!】

【Du Bingyan is kind-hearted and said that what I'm doing will harm the Rain Clan, but I had already given it thorough consideration】
