Chapter 55 Cloud Feather CP Palace Expedition 25
"You look a lot like my sister. I got so engrossed in looking at you that I don't know what to do with this. Here's something to make up for it."
Master Xing took out a jade pendant from his pocket. The pendant was carved with a hibiscus flower, and the four characters "Dugu Yuerong" were also engraved in a very subtle way in the lower right corner.
Master Xing kept his eyes fixed on Shangguan Qian and, as he wished, saw her constricted pupils.
The assassin without a blade has a face that is five parts similar to the third sister, but upon closer inspection, he also bears some resemblance to Dugu Xiu. It's really hard not to have many thoughts about him.
"Oops, I took the wrong one. You can't give this away."
Master Xing didn't really want to give this away; he had tricked his niece out of it years ago... no, I mean, he got it from her.
Shangguan Qian grabbed the jade pendant, preventing Master Xing from putting it away.
"Where did this come from?" Shangguan Qian's voice was trembling with tears.
"It was a gift from my niece!" Old Master Xing said matter-of-factly.
Shangguan Qian laughed and cried at the same time, "You clearly tricked me into giving it away! You said you were just looking at it, but you wouldn't give it back to me. Then you said you gave it to my grandparents, but it's still in your hands!"
The Xing family were officials in the capital, but the second son disliked officialdom and preferred to roam the martial world.
Back then, Miss Xing was very beautiful, and a lecherous prince asked her to be his concubine.
The Xing family didn't want her to suffer any injustice, so they arranged for her to fake her death and then travel the martial arts world with Second Master Xing. Later, she met the leader of the Lonely Mountain Sect and married him.
Of course, no one in the martial arts world knew this identity; they only thought that the wife of the leader of the Lonely Mountain Sect was from a humble family or an ordinary family.
After the Gushan Sect was wiped out, the Xing family was unable to use their connections with the government to avenge their family.
Although the Xing family were officials, the Third Miss Xing was already dead in the capital, and she had offended the prince because of this matter, so they could not act easily.
Therefore, only Master Xing was able to kill the Wufeng assassin in the martial arts world.
Kill a wave, retreat back to the capital, and once the turmoil subsides, kill another wave, then retreat back to the capital again.
Because of Shangguan Qian's words, Master Xing confirmed that the other party was indeed his niece.
Why are you Wufeng?
"When Wufeng invaded back then, my father sent me into a secret passage. After I escaped from the secret passage, I fell off a cliff, hit my head, and lost my memory. I was picked up by Dianzhu, who lied to me and said that I was her disciple, and took me into Wufeng..."
After I regained my memories, I poisoned her to get revenge, but for some reason the poison was neutralized. I've been looking for an opportunity to take revenge ever since..."
Shangguan Qian cried and explained incoherently, afraid that her uncle would think that she had forgotten her hatred and joined Wufeng in order to save her life.
"Yes, Uncle knows. Uncle believes in Rong'er. Don't cry." Master Xing gently coaxed her, wanting to wipe away Shangguan Qian's tears, but afraid that he might hurt her by being too rough.
"Master Xing, Miss Shangguan, let's go back to the Zheng Palace first."
Jin Yu, keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings, couldn't help but interrupt the two who were chatting incessantly.
"Mm." Shangguan Qian wiped away her tears, knowing that now was not the time to chat.
The fact that his uncle appeared at the palace gate was clearly suspicious; his and Zheng Nanyi's identities had probably already been exposed.
"Yes, yes, yes, back to the palace, I'll introduce you to all those uncles, elder brothers, and older brothers."
Master Xing recalled the smugness that Song Laowu and Song Sanxiaozi had shown when introducing Si Yatou these past few days.
Hmph, what's there to be so smug about? His niece is here too! He wants to show off to them as well.
The fact that Shangguan Qian and Master Xing recognized each other is equivalent to giving Gong Shangjiao and his group an inside man, Wu Feng, and they have a clearer plan to deal with Wu Feng.
