Chapter 248

The wind carries the moon, enveloping the dream of Xiaoxiang; the clouds dwell on the phoenix tree, a fairy among immortals.

It's a phrase composed of the names of five stunning beauties in the martial arts world, catchy and equally beautiful.

The five women have broken away from the beauty rankings and become their own category.

After all, there is no absolute beauty standard, and each woman has her own unique beauty. Everyone has different aesthetic tastes and preferences. If we were to force them into a beauty list and rank them first, second, or third, it would likely provoke dissatisfaction from many people.

Moreover, the five beauties are not much different in terms of beauty, belonging to the same level of beauty, yet they far surpass the beauties on the beauty list.

Therefore, the five beauties were singled out and a sentence was written to spread their fame.

The five people are Feng Qilan from the Brahma Sect, Qin Wanyue from the Mingxinzhai Sect, Chu Xiaoxiang from the Queyue Palace, Yun Qiwu from the Bixia Tower, and Li Fengxian from the Feihua Pavilion.

Feng Qilan is the only male among them, but his beauty is no less than that of a woman. He also likes to dress in women's clothing, and those who do not know him will mistake him for a woman.

The five beauties have always lived in seclusion, and few people in the martial arts world have ever seen them. However, anyone who has seen them will inevitably become a devoted follower of these beauties.

As for how such mysterious beauties were discovered and their fame spread?

This brings us to Tingxuelou, the largest intelligence organization in the martial arts world.

Tingxuelou is omnipresent and all-pervasive; as long as Tingxuelou exists, there are no secrets in the martial arts world.

No one knows how they obtained the intelligence. In any case, after countless verifications, it has been proven that Tingxuelou's intelligence is never false, no matter how astonishing or unbelievable it may be.

The lists of martial arts masters, young heroes, and villains were also compiled by Tingxuelou.

At first, some people were dissatisfied with the rankings on the list. Some even thought that they had never made a move in public and that they still had some secret techniques they had not used, so why were they ranked lower? Perhaps they could have moved up a few places.

But in the end, it turned out that Tingxuelou's ranking was correct, even if someone tried to hide it, the ranking was still correct.

Even people who have never appeared in public and have always lived in seclusion were accurately included on the list.

This incident sent chills down the spines of countless people.

Only then did people realize how terrifying Tingxuelou was, and they no longer questioned the information provided by Tingxuelou.

Of course, the price of information from Tingxuelou also skyrocketed, and people went crazy trying to buy information from Tingxuelou.

The five beauties were discovered by Tingxuelou, and their names are also derived from Tingxuelou.

Those who were fortunate enough to have met all five agreed with Tingxuelou's arrangement, while those who had not met them were very curious and eager to meet them.

This time, news spread that the four people besides Feng Qilan would gather at Lingyun Manor, and many people rushed over in a hurry.

Furthermore, not everyone is a guest of Lingyun Manor and can enter the manor to attend Shen Yanbai's wedding.

People had no choice but to rush to Juxianlou to secure the best vantage point and catch a glimpse of the four beauties.

As for why Feng Qilan didn't show up? As a member of the Demonic Sect, for him to dare come here is simply courting death.

At this moment, people are talking excitedly. Many of them have been waiting at Juxianlou for more than half a month, afraid of missing the beauty crossing the street.

Rong Rong, who was being talked about, was also looking forward to it. Her eyes shone as she looked out the window. Jiang Yetang ordered a table of delicious dishes for Rong Rong and put all the dishes he thought were delicious into Rong Rong's bowl.

Despite his baby face, Jiang Yetang is very steady and composed. Although he has no experience in taking care of people, he does things in an orderly manner. On the contrary, Rong Rong has become like a child, full of curiosity about everything. She eats only a few bites at a time, almost as if Jiang Yetang is feeding her.

Someone who happened to see the two of them was stunned and stood there. If he hadn't had any dealings with Jiang Yetang before, he would have thought that Jiang Yetang, the Soul Devouring Blade, was a very good-tempered person.

Just as Rong Rong was halfway through her meal, someone suddenly came up to the second floor, and the surroundings fell silent again as soon as this person arrived.

Immediately afterwards, the topic of discussion changed.

"Isn't this Luo Feiyu from the Wuxiang Sect? I heard before that he was a heartless man who betrayed Lady Cheng and got involved with other women. Is it true?"

"That's right, he's openly keeping that woman by his side!"

"He dares to come to Lingyun Manor? Isn't he afraid of being beaten to death by Young Master Shen?"

"I'd heard he was an upright man who loved to help the weak and fight crime, but it turns out it was all a lie? He's just another hypocrite wearing a mask!"

Is this referring to the male lead?

Rong Rong looked on curiously and saw a young swordsman accompanied by a pretty young woman walking through the crowd and being led by the waiter to a table to sit down.

The young swordsman had striking features and a short sword at his waist. He should have been full of vigor, but at this moment he looked dejected. He even walked with his back hunched and his head down, not daring to make eye contact with strangers.

"How did Luo Feiyu become like this?" Rong Rong asked in surprise.

The male protagonist in the background information is a heroic young swordsman who is sought after wherever he goes and has friends all over the martial arts world.

But Luo Feiyu is now a completely different person, especially since she seems to have become someone that everyone despises.

"No wonder this small world collapsed so quickly. The transmigrated woman was in a hurry to find mission takers as soon as she arrived. One of the male and female protagonists is dead, and the other is disgraced. They have no luck left. How can they support the small world?"

666 sighed, "These must be the most tragic male and female protagonists I've ever seen who were harmed by a time-traveling woman."

"So, what exactly happened to the male lead?" Rong Rong asked, puzzled.

From what the people around her were saying, Rong Rong realized that Cheng Xiaoman was indeed with the male lead, just as she had guessed. However, it seemed that the male lead was two-timing her and had let Cheng Xiaoman down.

Cheng Xiaoman then got back together with Shen Yanbai, while the male lead, whose image had collapsed, became someone everyone hated.

To be honest, Rong Rong really didn't believe the male lead was that kind of person.

There must be some misunderstanding here!

Rong Rong kept her eyes fixed on Luo Feiyu, unaware that Jiang Yetang beside her had already turned red in the eyes.

"What's so interesting about a heartless man?" Jiang Yetang reached out and blocked Rong Rong's view, not wanting Rong Rong to keep looking at Luo Feiyu.

“He’s not.” Rong Rong replied reflexively, and Jiang Yetang’s face twisted instantly.

He immediately turned his head and cast his cold gaze at Luo Feiyu, just as Luo Feiyu looked up after hearing Rong Rong speak.

Jiang Yetang's eyes seemed to conceal throwing knives, carrying a jealousy he himself was unaware of, which he fiercely shot towards Luo Feiyu.

Luo Feiyu quickly avoided Jiang Yetang's gaze, glanced at Rong Rong briefly, and then lowered her head again.

He never expected that, even now that everyone is criticizing him, there would still be people willing to speak up for him.

Is he a heartless man?

Before that incident, he could say no with absolute certainty, but after that incident, he began to doubt himself.

Although he no longer remembered the specifics of how the incident occurred—he was in a daze at the time—it had happened, and he couldn't escape it.
