Chapter 32 Acting

"No."

Su Chengnan shook her head decisively. She had no information to sell to Lu Chaofeng.

"Girl, why don't you listen to me before making a decision."

"No need."

Su Chengnan took a step and was about to leave.

Lu Chaofeng raised his hand to stop her, as if he wanted to say something else, but a gust of wind blew over and he suddenly started coughing.

"cough……"

“Ahem…”

He couldn't stop coughing, and his whole face was red from his rapid breathing. He looked really unwell.

Su Chengnan couldn't help but feel puzzled. Isn't he a martial arts expert? This fragile look must be an act.

Could it be that I recognized the wrong person? Isn’t he the man in black from last time?

Su Chengnan tilted her head slightly to look for his eyes, wanting to judge them more carefully, and Lu Chaofeng just straightened up, and her undisguised gaze accidentally met his eyes.

He was open and honest, allowing her to look at him freely.

Su Chengnan coughed lightly and said a little embarrassedly: "You are not feeling well, so you should go back early."

"Well...it's okay, girl, let me finish what I'm saying."

"I understand that a gentleman loves money but earns it in a proper way. I don't have any valuable information to sell you, so there's no need to say more, sir."

"Miss, you are overthinking!" Lu Chaofeng suddenly smiled, his expression seemed to be self-deprecating and helpless.

"I just saw that this spice was unusual and wanted to ask where your father found it. I didn't mean any harm."

Su Chengnan looked up at him again, and his eyes were as clear and open as ever. She was unsure whether Lu Chaofeng knew about her Su family identity, so she tried to test him:

"Do you know who my father is?"

"Of course I know."

These four simple words came out of his mouth, and he seemed quite calm, but Su Chengnan felt his scalp tingling.

Although she couldn't see anything on his face, her sixth sense was always accurate. She intuitively felt that Lu Chaofeng really knew who she was, and that his appearance at the city gate today must have been deliberate.

She insisted, "Since you know, why are you asking?"

"This is my first time traveling far away from Beijing, so I am inevitably a little ignorant about many things. Please forgive me, young lady."

"Yeah?"

“No lies.”

She has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has dealt with many movie stars, but she has never seen anyone in his early twenties who can act as freely as Lu Chaofeng, and speak with a mix of truth and falsehood that makes it hard to tell the truth.

"My father spent very little time at home when he was alive. He loved making friends and didn't communicate much with us, his children. I'm sorry that I can't help you."

"Okay then." He no longer forced it.

Su Chengnan curled his lips and suddenly changed the subject, "But I can ask your mother for you, maybe she knows."

"Really?" His eyes lit up.

”

But I can't guarantee that she will know, so just wait for my news. ”

"Thank you very much, young lady."

"When will you leave, sir?"

He was stunned and his expression became a little embarrassed.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow morning. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the young lady. I'm a timid person, and this desolate mountain is really scary."

Su Chengnan smiled but said nothing.

Which poor scholar would carry so much silver bills alone? Are you really addicted to acting? If I wasn't afraid that there were people lying in ambush nearby, I would have really robbed you of your banknotes to let you see how dangerous society is.

The two walked one after the other towards the crowded place...

When Su Linhua saw her coming back, she immediately put the toasted steamed bread slices on the fire to warm them up, then handed them to her, "You must be hungry, try it."

"Okay, thank you, second sister."

Su Chengnan looked at the steamed bread in her hand and thought of the two thousand taels of silver in her arms. She pushed Su Linhua with her shoulder.

"I sold the few spices my father left to this young master."

"ah?"

"It's a long way to go, and we need money right now. I'm sure Dad won't blame us."

"Eldest sister, that thing is worth a fortune! How can you sell it to others at such a low price? How can you... not be worthy of our father!"

Su Chengnan almost couldn't hold back when he saw her poor acting skills. He had no choice but to take out the banknotes from his pocket and give one to her, confirming that the two sisters were both money-grubbers.

"Master, please understand how much we miss our father. We should also be grateful. Please give the spices to him and send some food over."

"Yes, yes, that's what the eldest sister said."

Su Linhua snatched the string of toasted steamed bread slices from her hand, picked up the porcelain bottle full of spices and walked over.

"Here, I'll give you one too."

"Thank you, Miss."

Lu Chaofeng held the toasted steamed bread slices and sat back in the corner. He looked around and found that there were fewer people, so he stood up and walked towards the forest.

"Hey, where are you going?" Su Linhua called him.

He scratched his head sheepishly and said, "I'm going to the mountain to relieve myself."

"Oh, then you better be careful. There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in this forest."

"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Miss."

He almost jogged to the edge of the woods, picked up a stick, held it in his hand, and walked in while patting the ground. He really acted the role very well.

The two of them looked away.

Su Chengnan said unhappily: "Do you really think this can scare him?"

"I just think he loves acting, so we have to show our support."

"Oh, that makes sense."

“Is that so~!”

…

After entering the forest, Lu Chaofeng quickly shook off the tail behind him, and flew away like a flying bird using his lightness skills.

Almost at the same time, a scholar in white clothes with a similar figure to him appeared, replaced him and squatted in the grass, deliberately making some noise from time to time.

"Young Master!"

"Well, where is the team?"

"We have entered Fengcheng. Qingshan sent someone to ask for instructions. Should the team set off tomorrow or stay for a day or two?"

"Let him wait."

Wu Ming, kneeling on one knee on the ground, frowned, not understanding what his master meant. Didn’t we agree that you would be back tonight?

Lu Chaofeng stretched his neck, raised his hand and shot a leaf to the left, and a green and white snake with its tongue spitting out was nailed to the tree.

He curled his lips and sneered: "Take it back and roast it later."

"Yes, young master!"

As he spoke, he took out porcelain bottles from his arms and threw one to Wu Ming. Wu Ming took it with both hands and looked at him in confusion.

"Sprinkle some of this stuff on it when it's roasting. If you're fine after eating it, send it back to Penglai Valley immediately and ask Brother Yao to check what's inside."

"Young Master, have you eaten anything?" Wu Ming was panicked.

"It's okay. I eat with them."

"Let's ask someone to come and take a look."

"No need, just go and do your work quickly."

"Young Master! You didn't take the antidote today. If you accidentally take other poisons, I'm afraid it will be harmful to your body!"

Lu Chaofeng snorted coldly, "I already have the most poisonous blood in the world flowing in my body, what other poison can poison me?"

Wu Ming took a deep breath, feeling so bitter and anxious that he couldn't put it into words.

"By the way, did anyone from the Su family go out just now?"

“Have they all been stopped?”

…
