Chapter 72

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

Su Chen said casually.

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

Dongfang Dongfang Bubai said, greatly astonished.

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

Even Yao Yao Yue, Chi Lian Xing, Wan Wan, and Bai Bai Qinger, who were standing to the side, were extremely surprised.

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

"Oh, so you are a woman disguised as a man. My apologies."

Su Chen said with a hint of regret.

Ever since he had merged with the painting talent of the Spring and Autumn Painting Armor Zhou Li Yufu, he had automatically possessed "micro-level" observation skills.

Dongfang Dongfang Bubai’s disguise was successful, but it lacked attention to detail.

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

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

In an instant, her estimation of Su Chen in her heart rose by another thirty percent.

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

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

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

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

Su Chen said quite proudly.

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

But she was absolutely loyal to Su Chen, so she didn't think much of it and went to serve the food as he instructed.

Soon, all the dishes were laid out.

Dongfang Dongfang Bubai, Yao Yao Yue, Wan Wan, and the others took their seats one after another, their eyes lighting up as they looked at the feast before them.

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

Not to mention that these dishes of Su Chen’s were hard to find even in the grand restaurants of the Imperial Capital.

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

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

Guo Guo Furong said with a strange expression.

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

A moment later, a woman with sword-like brows and star-like eyes, exuding a heroic spirit, strode in.

In her hand, she carried a bright silver spear that flashed with a cold light; one look was enough to tell it was a divine weapon.

"Subordinate Qingluan pays respects to Master."

Upon reaching them, the woman knelt directly on the ground.

"Such powerful momentum."

Yao Yao Yue, Dongfang Dongfang Bubai, Wan Wan, and the others were all slightly surprised.

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

Yet her aura was comparable to a Grandmaster, and her gaze was like lightning; clearly, she had been tempered on the battlefield.

Her cultivation was secondary.

This kind of momentum could never be cultivated by ordinary Jianghu sects or clans.

"Rise. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Eat first, we'll talk later."

"Yu 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 arriving soon.

But Dongfang Dongfang Bubai and Wan Wan on the side were not so calm.

What exactly was Su Chen’s background?

First, there were hundreds of armored Great Halberd Warriors.

Then, a stunningly beautiful maid holding a cat.

And now, a young Grandmaster carrying a silver spear.

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

Every time they peeled back one layer, another appeared; they could never see his true foundation.

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

If Su Chen were merely a Sword God re-cultivating, how could these elite and loyal subordinates be explained?

It was very clear.

Beyond the identity of a re-cultivating Sword God.

Su Chen had another identity—a terrifyingly powerful one.

"What kind of force could even make the Moving Flower Palace fearful?"

Dongfang Dongfang Bubai frowned and began to ponder.

On the other side.

Yao Yao Yue and Chi Lian Xing exchanged a glance and nodded with a tacit understanding.

They had long anticipated the appearance of Qingluan.

Because Yao Yao Yue guessed.

Su Chen was not only a re-cultivating Sword God but also a major figure in the Green Dragon Society.

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

For the sake of Su Chen’s safety, the Green Dragon Society naturally had to send more experts to protect him.

Qingluan’s appearance confirmed their guess.

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

After lunch.

Su Chen called Qingluan aside alone.

"Although you have just arrived."

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

"Deliver this high-grade Flame Sun Pill to the Fourth Young Lady of the Jiangbei Gusu Murong Clan, Gusu Murong Xian."

Su Chen took out the jade box containing the spirit 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 didn't have to worry even if she were poisoned by cold toxins.

"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.

He sat on the grandmaster chair, with a cup of Thousand Autumns Strong Wine poured beside him.

Yu Yu Youwei sensibly walked behind him to massage his shoulders.

Miss Wan’er was folding quilts in his room.

Miss Qing’er was resentfully cleaning up.

Miss Dongfang was holding a pile of dirty clothes with a worried look.

Yao Yao Yue was gracefully and calmly chopping bundles of firewood.

Chi Lian Xing was using light movement techniques 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 the "Snow" story had already been distributed to all parts of the world through the efforts of major booksellers.
