Shen Sifan did not answer immediately. Instead, she cautiously asked for more clues about Jiang Feng’s identity.
One coincidence was a coincidence, but two, three, and many coincidences combined together would be solid evidence.
He had been suspicious of Jiang Feng’s identity all along, and now that she had compared it with the information from Ye Cike, it was obvious.
Jiang Feng was present when Ye Cike had calculated their whereabouts at the city gate. When Shen Sifan had used a spell to track them down, it had been on Jiang Feng!
He had managed to fool her every time!
In front of her, Ye Cike stomped her feet and slammed the table, like a squirrel whose tail had been stepped on.
What family etiquette, what dignity as a Young Mistress, all of it was thrown on the ground.
She was just a young girl who could not contain her anger because of the person she liked.
Although she looked like he wanted to tear that person into pieces, there was no killing intent in her eyes.
The Green Lotus Swordsman sighed in her heart with a subtle expression on her face. She reached out and touched the body of the Green Lotus Sword.
The Green Lotus Sword, which was extremely sensitive to killing intent, did not move at all at this moment. It lay quietly on her knees.
But what right did she have to say anything…?
She recalled how she had been so angry when she heard that Liu Yuan was about to get married that she had rushed out of the Taiqing Pavilion with her sword and rushed to Liu Yuan’s side with her sword placed on his neck. She actually felt a little amused.
In fact, if she really wanted to kill that unfaithful person, she should not have asked for a reason.
If she asked, it meant that she was hesitating.
And once she hesitated in a relationship, she would take a step back, followed by another step, and another.
Even now, she could not see her own heart clearly.
“He has another woman in the Jiang Kingdom’s Water Moon Dock, and another woman in the mortal realm’s Chiyu Villa. He almost got married to them,” Shen Sifan said lightly.
She took the teapot from Xiu’er, who was still in a daze, and poured herself a cup of tea. Then, she filled Ye Cike’s cup.
“There are two more??”
Including her and Shen Sifan, as well as Duan Lanruo and Hu Jiuniang, there were six of them in total!
Was he planning to change women every night?
Bastard!
The young girl gritted her teeth, and her vision was turning dark. She took a deep breath to calm herself down and drank the tea in front of her in one gulp. “Who are those two?”
Xiu’er was trying her best to fan the Young Mistress with a fan. She even used a mind-stabilizing spell to help her cool down.
“Ning Xiangrong, daughter of the Water Moon Dock Master, and Gu Siyin, daughter of Chiyu Villa’s Master.”
As soon as Shen Sifan finished speaking, Ye Cike turned to look at her maidservant. Xiu’er immediately nodded and said, “Young Mistress, I’ll immediately send someone to investigate!”
Ye Cike heaved a sigh of relief. Her expression eased slightly as she reached out to adjust her clothes.
Only then did she realize how ugly she had been in front of the Green Lotus Swordsman.
The young girl coughed and pursed her lips. “I’m sorry, I lost my composure.”
Shen Sifan could not help but smile. “It’s human nature. At that time, I immediately lifted my sword, preparing to kill him. I gave him a big scare, so he came to the City of Ten Thousand Swords. He probably wanted to take advantage of the Tideviewing and Sword-listening event to fish in troubled waters and seek protection from City Lord Duan.”
She could not help but think of that day in the Inkstone Tower. There was a beauty in front and behind the young man. The young man looked like he was enjoying it very much.
“Heh… Hehehe…”
“Eh, Green Lotus Swordsman?” Xiu’er could not help but say. She was panicking. The Green Lotus Swordsman looked good when she lowered her head and smiled, but why did she look so scary?
When Shen Sifan came back to her senses, she had already subconsciously placed her hand on the hilt of her sword. She clenched it tightly as if she could unsheathe it at any moment.
“Ah, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’ve lost my composure too.”
The woman retracted her hand, and a polite apologetic look appeared on her face. She looked at her longsword with a heavy gaze and said indifferently, “This Duan Lanruo is really powerful. She has played you and me in circles.”
As the saying goes, the older the ginger, the spicier it is.
This Duan Lanruo had held the authority of the City of Ten Thousand Swords for more than 100 years. Compared to them, he was indeed more experienced and of a higher standard.
Ye Cike sneered. “I understand now. This old woman’s plan is very clear. On one hand, she can do whatever she wants to him in front of us, and on the other hand, she wants us to owe her a favor. On the other hand, she’s using you and me to force him into a corner, so he can only rely on her protection. As expected of the City Lord who managed the City of Ten Thousand Swords to this day. She’s using all her iron-fisted methods to steal a man! She’s shameless!”
Xiu’er though that her Young Mistress was spending a lot of money just to get a man.
However, she could not say this out loud.
Shen Sifan said in a deep voice, “she knows the City of Ten Thousand Swords like the back of her hand. She must already know that you’ve come to me. However, it’s impossible for her to set up spies here. At most, she can only make her own guesses.”
“According to this old hag’s schemes, she’ll definitely be able to guess that we’ve already exchanged information and know that Jiang Feng is Liu Yuan.”
Ye Cike’s delicate little face looked serious as she narrowed her eyes. “We can’t show that we’re working together. If we do, she’ll tell that bastard things like ‘they’re coming to find you together and you can only rely on me’. If we break up, she’ll feel that there’s a chance for us to break through one by one. The conflict between us will also give that bastard a chance to catch his breath.”
The Young Mistress of the Xuanyin family clenched her small fists tightly. “Duan Lanruo is so fearless because this is her home ground. Even if you’re at the seventh level of the Void Refinement stage and have an unparalleled Green Lotus Sword, you probably didn’t manage to get any advantage that day. Otherwise, with your anger at that time, I’m afraid you would have killed them long ago.”
“You’re right. Although Duan Lanruo is a swordsmith, she has been at the Synthesis stage for hundreds of years. I’m not her match. If we really fight, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to determine the winner.”
Shen Sifan raised her head and gently tapped the Green Lotus Sword. but there’s one thing you’re wrong about. Yingluo, we didn’t work together in the first place.
Ye Cike’s eyes turned cold. After a long while, she suddenly had a realization and said solemnly, “Indeed, but just when we’re facing Duan Lanruo, let’s just treat it as a temporary alliance. We’ll discuss what to do with that bastard after this matter is over.”
Shen Sifan looked at the girl and nodded. She smiled. “There’s no need to be so nervous. I’m a little more open-minded now. After all, not only did he almost get married to someone else, but he’s also been secretly meeting City Lord Duan for more than a day or two. So what if we defeated Duan Lanruo? She’s still very pleased with herself… She’s already tasted everything we couldn’t get.”
Xiu’er panicked. Although the Green Lotus Swordsman’s tone was gentle, it was more frightening than her boiling killing intent.
“I think our most important goal now isn’t to kidnap him, but to pull his heart back.” Shen Sifan continued in a gentle voice. “Otherwise, what’s the point of putting the cart before the horse? ”
Ye Cike nodded and could not help but ask, “Then should we do something?”
Shen Sifan tapped her sword and said, “We’ll appear as if we’ve fallen out, and then you go find him directly! I can’t. I’ve already scared him to the point where he’s on edge the last few times, but you’re different. If you switch sides with him now, you’ll be able to compete with Duan Lanruo! It would mess up her mind!”
“Also, that Ten Thousand Sword Array formation of yours has now become the Capital to blackmail Duan Lanruo. She lied to you first, so she’s breaking her promise. Having an affair with someone else is immoral. She will not want it to be exposed. You have a great advantage now!”
The Green Lotus Swordsman’s eyes were as sharp as swords, and they were firm and decisive.
