Chapter 129

"A double surname Dongfang? Then I shall call you Miss Dongfang."

Su Chen said casually.

"You, you can tell I am a woman?"

Dongfang Bubai said, greatly astonished.

She had walked the Jianghu in this attire, yet she had never once been seen through.

Even Yao Yue, Lian Xing, Seeing Wanwan, and Bai Qinger, who were to the side, were extremely surprised.

Clearly, they, also being women, had not discovered that Dongfang Bubai was a woman either.

"Oh, so you are cross-dressing as a man. My apologies."

Su Chen said with some regret.

Ever since he had integrated the painting talent of Zhou Yufu, the Painting Master of the Spring and Autumn Period, he had automatically possessed 'micro-level' observational abilities.

Dongfang Bubai's disguise was successful, but it did not pay enough attention to detail.

Therefore, Su Chen had seen through the truth at a glance.

But in Dongfang Bubai's eyes, Su Chen became even more mysterious and unfathomable.

For a moment, her estimation of Su Chen in her heart rose by another thirty percent.

"Master, where did those dishes from the kitchen come from?"

Just then, Yu Youwei walked back, holding a tray in each hand.

"I told you I would do the cooking today, yet you didn't believe me."

"Quickly, bring out the rest of the dishes."

Su Chen said quite proudly.

Yu Youwei tilted her head, still unable to figure out how Su Chen had conjured those dishes.

But she was absolutely loyal to Su Chen, so without thinking too much, she went to fetch the dishes as he said.

Soon, all the dishes were laid out.

Dongfang Bubai, Yao Yue, Seeing Wanwan, and the others took their seats one after another, their eyes lighting up as they looked at the feast covering the table.

Seven Heroes Town was, after all, just a small town; there were no good chefs here.

Not to mention that even the grand restaurants in the Imperial Capital would rarely see the dishes Su Chen had prepared.

Just as everyone was eating happily, Guo Furong walked in.

"Mr. Su, there is a woman outside riding a white horse and carrying a silver spear looking for you."

Guo Furong said with a strange expression.

Su Chen checked the system map and nodded, saying, "She is one of my people. Let her come up."

A moment later, a woman with sword-like brows, star-like eyes, and a heroic aura walked in with long strides.

In her hand, she was indeed carrying a bright silver spear that flashed with cold light; one look and it was clearly a divine weapon.

"Subordinate Qingluan pays respects to Master."

Walking up close, the woman knelt directly on the ground.

"Such a strong aura."

Yao Yue, Dongfang Bubai, Seeing Wanwan, and the others all felt slightly surprised.

This Qingluan before them looked to be only about twenty years old.

Yet her aura was comparable to a Master, and her gaze was like lightning; clearly, she had been through many battles on the field.

Her cultivation was secondary.

This kind of aura could never be cultivated by ordinary Jianghu sects or noble families.

"Get up. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Eat first, then we shall talk."

"Youwei, go add a pair of chopsticks for Qingluan."

Su Chen greeted her casually.

Through the system map, he had long known that Qingluan was about to arrive.

But Dongfang Bubai and Seeing Wanwan to the side were not so calm.

What exactly was Su Chen's background?

First, there were hundreds of heavily armored halberdiers.

Then, a stunningly beautiful maid holding a cat.

And now, another young Master carrying a silver spear.

It was as if there were layers of mist around Su Chen.

Every time they peeled back one layer, another would appear; they could never see the bottom of it.

Dongfang Bubai recalled Yao Yue's words at this moment and finally understood.

If Su Chen were merely a Sword God who had started his cultivation over, how could these elite and loyal subordinates be explained?

Clearly.

Besides the identity of a Sword God starting over.

Su Chen had another identity—a terrifyingly grand identity.

"What kind of force could even make the Flower-Moving Palace feel fear?"

Dongfang Bubai frowned and began to ponder.

On the other side.

Yao Yue and Lian Xing exchanged a glance and nodded, sharing the same thought.

They had long anticipated the appearance of Qingluan.

Because Yao Yue guessed.

Su Chen was not only a Sword God starting over, but also a major figure in the Azure Dragon Society.

Now that Su Chen's cultivation had not yet recovered, yet the number of experts in Seven Heroes Town was increasing.

For the sake of Su Chen's safety, the Azure Dragon Society would naturally send more experts to protect him.

The appearance of Qingluan confirmed their guess.

It made them even more convinced that Su Chen came from the Azure Dragon Society and held a high position within it.

After finishing the midday meal.

Su Chen called Qingluan aside alone.

"Although you have just arrived."

"I still must trouble you to make a trip."

"Deliver this top-quality Flame-Yang Pill to the Fourth Miss of the Jiangbei Gusu Murong family, Gusu Murong Xian."

Su Chen took out the jade box containing the spiritual pill and handed it to Qingluan.

He had sympathized with Gusu Murong Xian's plight when he watched the show back then; now that he had the chance, he would consider it making up for a regret.

Besides, he had the Blood Phoenix Divine Spring for healing, so he had no worries even if she were afflicted with cold poison.

"Subordinate obeys."

Qingluan did not say another word, took the jade box, and turned to leave.

After doing this.

Su Chen arranged the task of renovating the hot spring room.

Only then did he finally find some peace.

Sitting in the grand armchair, with a cup of Thousand Autumns spirits poured beside him.

Yu Youwei sensibly circled behind him to knead his shoulders.

Miss Seeing Wanwan was folding quilts in his room.

Miss Qinger was resentfully cleaning up.

Miss Dongfang was holding a pile of dirty clothes with a sorrowful face.

Yao Yue was gracefully and calmly chopping bundles of firewood.

Lian Xing was using her light-body technique to leap back and forth in the flower garden.

Life at its most satisfying is nothing more than this.

Just as Su Chen was leisurely enjoying life.

The new issue of "Snowy Blades" had already been distributed to all parts of the world through the efforts of major book merchants.
