Chapter 30 A breathtakingly beautiful face (1)

"The Qingyu Palace is ahead." The driver was named Liu Yi, the leader of these people.

The owner of Zanhua Lane sent a total of four people to follow Jiang Hanfeng, and the remaining three were led by Liu Yi.

Jiang Hanfeng is a quiet person, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to socialize. On the contrary, because Jiang Hanfeng has a reputation for being cold, once he takes the initiative to talk to someone, even if his emotions are indifferent, others will feel flattered.

Just one day had passed, but Jiang Hanfeng had become familiar with these people.

Liu Yi is not a deep-minded person. He is a little bit concerned about his reputation and likes to act on impulse, which is a common problem among people in the underworld.

After determining that Jiang Hanfeng was cold-tempered but not arrogant, and not one who put on airs, Liu Yi became close to him and was now chattering non-stop.

"I heard that Qingyu Palace has been in chaos since Palace Master Lin went into seclusion. Originally, disciples on the mountain were not allowed to enter the secular world at will, but in recent years, people from Qingyu Palace can be seen everywhere at the foot of the mountain. If Senior Lin Ziwen hadn't come out of seclusion, Qingyu Palace would have ended up like Lengcui Villa."

Jiang Hanfeng simply responded, and Liu Yi was encouraged: "The master is much more powerful than the leaders of those messy sects outside. The Hairpin Alley was also a mess before, but now after the rectification, it finally has a decent shape."

He was previously in charge of purchasing sundries in one of the alleys of Zanhua Lane. He had spent more time with ordinary people, had a gentle personality, and preferred an orderly life. The series of reforms made by Shen Yingxue were very much to his liking.

Jiang Hanfeng asked: "If that's the case, why didn't you change it earlier?"

"How can I guess what the master is thinking?" Liu Yi said nothing, but the others talked at once, making many guesses about the flower master, none of which sounded credible.

Jiang Hanfeng tried a few words and found that although Liu Yi seemed cheerful, talkative and carefree, he avoided talking about key matters and was very strict with his mouth.

Liu Yi thought of the recent rumors and Jiang Hanfeng's serious look, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "People say that you've fallen in love with a man. Is that true?"

Jiang Hanfeng said: "It's true."

Liu Yi was very surprised, because Jiang Hanfeng was a very cold person. He held the sword in his hand as if he had everything. Liu Yi could not imagine what he would be like after falling in love, let alone with a man.

"Is that person really Shen Yingxue?" Not long ago, Liu Yi discussed this topic with his colleagues.

Of course he knew that Zanhua Lane was the former Anbu, and he also knew that Shen Yingxue was their master. But now Shen Yingxue herself could not protect herself, Zanhua Lane also changed its name, and had a new master, so Shen Yingxue had little to do with them.

Jiang Hanfeng said: "He is just Ling Yun, not Shen Yingxue."

Because when Fu Sheng besieged them, Jiang Zhiyi and Han Jing obediently acknowledged Shen Yingxue's other identity, which prevented Yuding Villa from being implicated. Even if the crisis has passed, they should not change their words.

Liu Yi heard his ambiguous words and said, "I told you, Shen Yingxue was so badly injured back then, how could she have survived? The person who showed up now is just a fake used by those people to deceive others. As for Han Jing... I never thought that he is actually the young master of the Demon Cult."

When Han Jing was captured, he had not yet mastered his martial arts and had not done anything earth-shattering. Most people did not know him, and Liu Yi, a former member of the evil cult, did not know him either.

Jiang Hanfeng knew that Han Jing was in Zanhua Lane. Through the car curtain, he could not see Liu Yi's face as he was catching the car outside, but he could hear other people talking.

These people seemed to know Han Jing at all, and their attitude towards him was as if they were treating an ordinary gangster, without much awe or closeness.

Zanhua Lane is really just like the saying goes, shrouded in smoke and clouds, real and illusory, real and unreal, and impossible to grasp.

Qingyu Palace was located on Niu Mang Mountain. The carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain and hid in a secluded path. Liu Yi said to Jiang Hanfeng, "Lord Lan has instructed that no matter whether it succeeds or not, you must take your life as the most important thing. My brothers and I will meet you here. If there are pursuers, they will pretend to be you to lead them away."

The other few people's body shapes and clothing were similar to Jiang Hanfeng.

Jiang Hanfeng nodded, holding his sword and slowly walked up the mountain.

He had no grudges against Qingyu Palace, and the relationship between Yuding Villa and Qingyu Palace was also very friendly. There was no reason to kill their palace master, and Jiang Hanfeng had no intention of actually taking action.

He came here just to see what the current situation of Qingyu Palace is like. If he can meet the Palace Master, that would be even better. For his sake, Lin Ziwen should be willing to cooperate and pretend to be dead, and wait for him to return to report and see the Flower Master's reaction.

If Lin Ziwen is unwilling, it is not a big problem. At least he can get rid of the hatred between Lin Ziwen and Hua Zhu, as well as Hua Zhu's true identity.

The management of Qingyu Palace was indeed evacuated, and Jiang Hanfeng didn't see many people along the way.

When they reached halfway up the mountain, the wind picked up, making Jiang Hanfeng's clothes rustle. He did not stop, but walked up the white stone steps to the mountain gate of Qingyu Palace.

It was only at this time that the people from Qingyu Palace saw him.

A somewhat slovenly young man dressed as a Taoist priest looked at him with unfriendly eyes: "Who are you? Why did you dare to enter my palace? Do you have a visiting card?"

"No visiting card." Jiang Hanfeng said coldly, "Where is Lin Ziwen?"

"How dare you! How dare you address the Palace Master by her name? Who on earth are you? How come you don't know any manners?"

"The master is rude, why should I be polite?" Jiang Hanfeng felt that Liu Yi was right. Compared with the past, Qingyu Palace was indeed not as good as before. He expected that today would not end peacefully, so it seemed that he could only force his way in. He took out the sword in his hand and walked steadily towards the main hall.

The young Taoist priest outside was not very skilled in martial arts. He could sense Jiang Hanfeng's aura from afar and was frightened. He shouted "Brother, help me", but he didn't even dare to move.

Jiang Hanfeng was surrounded by Taoist priests who came from behind. He took half a step forward, shifted his body weight to his left foot, turned around gracefully and swung the lotus. The sword flashed, forcing the people around him to step back half a step. Jiang Hanfeng seized the opportunity, used his Qinggong skills, bypassed everyone and went straight to Lin Ziwen's residence.

This was not the first time that Jiang Hanfeng came here. He was not unfamiliar with Qingyu Palace. No one knew what Qingyu Palace was doing. It was completely in disarray. The disciples under them had no idea of ​​resisting at all. Almost no one paid any attention to him and allowed him to come to Lin Ziwen's residence.

The Baohua Palace's once solemn reception room was now deserted, and the further one walked towards it, the more desolate and quiet it became.

Jiang Hanfeng felt more and more that something was wrong as he walked. His brows furrowed, he walked around the bamboo forest behind him and stepped into Lin Ziwen's backyard.

There were traces of fighting everywhere. There were broken porcelain on the ground, covered with a layer of leaves and dust. It looked like it had been there for more than a day or two.

Continuing to walk forward, Jiang Hanfeng heard faint breathing sounds.

He walked over carefully and found Lin Ziwen lying on the ground, smelling fishy. He closed his eyes and made vague sounds. After seeing Jiang Hanfeng, he was so excited that his eyes were trembling and his limbs were shaking.

But he did not stand up.

"Palace Master Lin?" Jiang Hanfeng had never seen Lin Ziwen so ferocious before. He walked over and wanted to be helped up. "Who did it?"

Lin Ziwen was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. When he saw Jiang Hanfeng approaching, he yelled even louder. Jiang Hanfeng took off his outer robe and put it on him, covering his dirty body. "Who did it? What happened?"

Lin Ziwen opened his mouth and uttered an unclear sound: "Zu, Zu Cen... Yu..."

Jiang Hanfeng had never heard of this name.

He put his hand on Lin Ziwen's wrist and checked his injuries. He was shocked to find that Lin Ziwen's bones and muscles were broken and he was dying. He had a ginseng smell on him. Maybe someone had sent him some herbs to keep him alive.

"Revenge..." Lin Ziwen said intermittently.

"Who is Zu Cenyu? Is he the master of flowers?" Jiang Hanfeng asked.

Lin Ziwen opened his eyes wide with a cloudy look, and it was unclear whether he understood or not. He repeated these words over and over again. In addition to Zu Cenyu and revenge, there was also a sentence "kill me".

Jiang Hanfeng had never imagined that the once immortal Lin Ziwen would become like this, and he also understood his desire to die.

Even if he didn't die now, he wouldn't live for more than two months. In these two months, he would be left alone, unable to move or speak, which would be more painful than death. Jiang Hanfeng hesitated for a moment, then took out his sword and ended his pain.

There was hatred on Lin Ziwen's old face. He was unwilling, but he closed his eyes helplessly.

Zu Cenyu.

Jiang Hanfeng silently recited this name in his heart.

He had never heard of this person. Could it be that Hua Zhu was really a low-profile and unknown person in the past?

Lin Ziwen must have been beaten up like this recently. Could it be that he and Hua Zhu had met not long ago? Why didn't Hua Zhu kill him at that time, but instead sent himself here?

Jiang Hanfeng thought he would get some answers when he came to Qingyu Palace, but unexpectedly, his doubts increased.

The desolate and bleak Qingyu Palace, and Lin Ziwen's miserable condition were chilling. Jiang Hanfeng didn't want to stay here for long. He took the blood-stained sword, shook off the blood as usual, and left. All the disciples of Qingyu Palace avoided him, looking at him as if they were looking at a devil who would kill without blinking an eye.

After Jiang Hanfeng left, a Taoist priest ran over from Lin Ziwen's side and shouted, "The Palace Master is dead! The Palace Master was murdered!"

"Did you do it?" Liu Yi saw him coming back calmly and looked back, "No one is chasing you?"

Jiang Hanfeng shook his head with mixed feelings, "He died in my hands."

He had not yet figured out the matter between Lin Ziwen and Hua Zhu, and he was not in a position to tell the people in Zanhua Lane about what he had seen and heard in Qingyu Palace. After getting on the carriage, he stopped talking and found a place to close his eyes and sleep.

Liu Yi swapped with another brother. Today he didn't have to catch the bus, so he could go and rest for a while. He sat next to Jiang Hanfeng, "Why is your coat missing?"

Jiang Hanfeng didn't open his eyes: "It was stained with blood, so I threw it away."

Lan Jin cleared a lawn in the backyard and planted the most common wild flowers and weeds. He watered the grass from time to time to keep the soil moist.

This piece of grass is the playground for Shen Yingxue's little turtle. It has finally gotten rid of the narrow flowerpot and has a huge playground.

Shen Yingxue took some food to feed the little turtle. Watching it crawling around happily, her worries were relieved a lot.

In fact, Shen Yingxue didn't have any worries in his heart. He was a casual person and would not worry about things that could not be solved. If he could solve it, he would usually solve it quickly.

So even though he had a mosaic system, which was different from ordinary people, he adapted quickly, taking advantage of the system's benefits every day and watching various dramas. Apart from the impact on his social life, there was not much difference from before he traveled through time.

But now Shen Yingxue is worried.

Because Xun Yan told him that Zhu Chengyu was seducing him.

Shen Yingxue had been confessed to many times in her life, but everyone was very open-minded. If there was love, they would be together, and if there was no love, they would not be together. It was no big deal if Shen Yingxue rejected them.

This was the first time Shen Yingxue had seen someone like Zhu Chengyu.

Zhu Chengyu wanted to come to him three times a day. Shen Yingxue was not as interested as before when she saw the beautiful boy's face. He made it clear to Zhu Chengyu that he would not like anyone, but Zhu Chengyu was very shocked at the time, as if he was slandering him, which made Shen Yingxue feel a little guilty.

After all, Zhu Chengyu doesn't look older than Han Jing. It would be very hurtful if Xun Yan misunderstood.

Shen Yingxue thought he was considerate, but Zhu Chengyu did not sense his tolerance and still came here every day as before.

"Otherwise, let's find a clinic outside and send Zhu Chengyu there." Shen Yingxue said to Little Turtle, "Let Wu learn how to identify and diagnose medicines, and Zhu Chengyu learn how to feel the pulse and massage. After they both finish their training, they can find a job outside."

The little turtle crawled for a long time and then hid in the grass and didn't move.

The sun had already set, and the weather was not as hot as it was during the day, but it was still stuffy when there was no wind. Shen Yingxue felt tired after staying there for a while, so she let the little turtle out for some air and went back to stay indoors.

"Master, Jiang Hanfeng is back." Xun Yan came over and said, then went to get his clothes, asked Shen Yingxue to change out of his coat that had just been rubbed with dirt outside, put on a black hat, and let down the veil to cover his face. "How do you plan to help him find 'Lingyun'?"

When Xun Yan first knew that Shen Yingxue had agreed to Jiang Hanfeng's request, he had no idea what to say. However, Shen Yingxue was always thoughtful, and perhaps he was clear-headed at that time, so he agreed to help Jiang Hanfeng find someone.

The martial arts world is getting more and more chaotic now. Xun Yan killed another famous person, leaving the name of Zanhua Lane. Although the person who died this time was not as rich and powerful as Wan Baogui, he was very skilled in martial arts. Xun Yan had a fair fight with him and killed him from the front. Various traces showed that his martial arts was better than this person. Those who were still waiting and watching immediately understood that Zanhua Lane was not just a group of rabble, but even had first-class masters with powerful skills.

Perhaps Shen Yingxue wanted to use the identity of "Ling Yun" to make the world of martial arts more chaotic.

"This is very simple." Shen Yingxue came to the ice basin, lifted the black veil on her hat, and fanned herself with her hands, letting the cool air blow on her face. "Wouldn't it be better to let Jiang Hanfeng stay with me?"

Shen Yingxue’s idea was very simple. He was “Ling Yun”. If Jiang Hanfeng stayed, wouldn’t it mean that he was handing Ling Yun over to him?

Xun Yan said: "Jiang Hanfeng has bad intentions towards you, but if you have Zhu Chengyu, it would be fine. Why do you want to keep him?"

Xun Yan, Han Jing, and Gu Liansheng all knew that Jiang Hanfeng liked Shen Yingxue. At that time, Shen Yingxue's condition was far worse than it is now. He seemed to be frightened by Jiang Hanfeng and refused to let anyone other than Han Jing get close to him.

It is easy to imagine what Jiang Hanfeng did to Shen Yingxue.

They were all normal adult men who had heard a lot of dirty things while walking in the underworld. Girls from good families would avoid such underworld men. If they wanted to satisfy their desires, they would either go to brothels, or look for prostitutes living outside, or find men to play with.

Some people even don't like weak women and like to play with the same sex. Some high-ranking officials will even raise such boys and use them like maids. Some will even directly raise a troupe in their mansions, and the children in the troupe are raised from childhood to adulthood, and hang out with the young masters in the mansion.

Men have many demands on women, but not on themselves.

Xun Yan also knew this. Even if they had never done it before, they had heard people around them talk about it. Thinking about Shen Yingxue's reaction at that time, it was easy to imagine what Jiang Hanfeng had done!

Shen Yingxue probably forgot the painful memory, so she wanted to keep Jiang Hanfeng by her side to fulfill her promise. But doing so would be like inviting a wolf into the house. Shen Yingxue's illness finally got better, and Xun Yan didn't want him to become the same as before.

But Xun Yan knew that Shen Yingxue had forgotten those terrible experiences, and when she was not stimulated, she was still the powerful leader of the evil cult.

He probably couldn't imagine that there was a time when his dignity was completely destroyed and he was played around with by others. Even if Shen Yingxue talked to him about reason, she would not sympathize with him and might even drive him crazy.

Xun Yan could only persuade him from another perspective: "Jiang Hanfeng has seen your appearance. If you keep him here, will you have to wear a hat to cover your face all the time in the future?"

"You make sense." Shen Yingxue thought, he still needs to eat and drink, it's really troublesome to keep doing this, and Zhu Chengyu is also in trouble, why not solve it together. "I remember you can change your appearance, why don't you help me change a new face, it will be much more convenient."

"But Jiang Hanfeng..."

"I won't tell him his identity, and he probably won't stay here for long. As long as he fulfills his promise, don't worry about other things."

Xun Yan had no choice but to compromise: "Yes."

Jiang Hanfeng had been away for five days. When he came back, he seemed to have lost some weight and looked a little haggard, as if he had not rested well.

Shen Yingxue sat beside the ice block, straightened her body, changed from her previous harmless appearance, and became the dangerous and charming owner of the Hairpin Flower Alley again. "It seems that you didn't rest well on the road. You must have worked hard. You can have a good rest after you come back."

"Thank you for your care." Jiang Hanfeng's face was very cold. He had thought a lot along the way, connecting some clues together and came up with new ideas.

But because of this, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Lin Ziwen is dead, most likely at the hands of a man called Zu Cenyu. Zu Cenyu's identity is unknown, he could be the owner of the flower, or he could be one of the owner's subordinates. Either way, it's enough to show that the owner of the flower is definitely not a good person.

So is "Shen Yingxue" who disappeared in Huaicheng also dead?

If Hua Zhu knew the true identity of "Shen Yingxue", if he was an impostor, he would definitely not be alive. If he was the real Shen Yingxue, he would have escaped and was lying in wait, just like he did in the past three years.

Jiang Hanfeng said, "I have completed the task you asked me to do. I wonder when you plan to fulfill your promise and help me find someone?"

"No hurry." Shen Yingxue waved his hand to disperse the white smoke rising from the ice cubes. He said to Xun Yan, "Go and call Zhu Chengyu over."

"Yes." Before leaving, Xun Yan gave Jiang Hanfeng a warning look.

Jiang Hanfeng had no time to pay attention to him because the name Zhu Chengyu was too familiar!

Zhu Chengyu and Zu Cenyu.

Was it that Lin Ziwen's speech was unclear and he miscommunicated, or were these actually two people?

If there are two people, what is their relationship?

Zhu Chengyu came over quickly.

This time Xun Yan did not chase Ah Wu away, but allowed Ah Wu to come in with him. Ah Wu held onto one of Zhu Chengyu's arms and walked in front to lead the way for him. The white-haired, blue-eyed young man stopped, his eyes calm, and tilted his head to listen to the breathing sounds in the room, then slowly said, "Master?"

"Sit down." Shen Yingxue asked him to sit down. He was really afraid that Zhu Chengyu would be dropped by him.

Zhu Chengyu has grown up to the height of an adult, but he is very thin, even thinner than Shen Yingxue. Shen Yingxue knows that she is weak, and when she thinks about Zhu Chengyu, she thinks he might be even weaker, so she takes good care of him.

Zhu Chengyu was supported by Awu and sat on the stool beside him. He blinked his blue eyes blankly.

Jiang Hanfeng saw his posture clearly and realized that the young man was blind.

Shen Yingxue said: "Jiang Hanfeng has killed the Palace Master of Qingyu Palace, you can rest assured."

Shen Yingxue had no idea what the Qingyu Palace mistress's name was. Zhu Chengyu had called her that at the beginning, so Shen Yingxue followed suit.

Zhu Chengyu had expected this outcome, but he still showed an excited look, stood up from the stool, and looked forward in a daze. Jiang Hanfeng did not speak, and he was still unsure of Jiang Hanfeng's location, so he just said to the nothingness: "Thank you! I will remember your kindness in my heart. If my parents knew, they would rest in peace in their graves!"

"What grudge do you have against him?" Jiang Hanfeng asked.

"He killed my parents, and often bullied me... I couldn't bear the humiliation, so I asked Awu for help and secretly escaped." Zhu Chengyu showed a humiliated expression, which was very difficult to smile.

Jiang Hanfeng asked: "Why did he want to kill your parents? Who are your parents?"

Zhu Chengyu seemed to be frightened by his serious voice. He shuddered and held Awu's hand tightly. With a familiar person beside him, he quickly adjusted himself. With a little confusion, he whispered: "My father is the elder of Qingyu Palace and has been practicing with the Palace Master. Who knew that the Palace Master appeared to be an immortal, but secretly... liked... pretty children... He took a fancy to me, but my parents did not agree, so..."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became. He was caught in a terrible memory and began to tremble. Ah Wu grabbed his wrist tightly and said, "Sir, don't be afraid. It's over."

Jiang Hanfeng frowned. He had never heard of such a thing before, but the boy's expression did not seem fake.

Lin Ziwen is already over seventy years old and has a good reputation, so he doesn't seem like that kind of person. But with his beautiful and delicate face, snow-white and delicate skin, and rare white hair, he seems to be convincing.

"That's enough." Shen Yingxue suddenly said, "Since the matter has been resolved, let's stop here. Don't mention the past anymore. You can go out now."

Zhu Chengyu and Jiang Hanfeng both saw that he didn't want to talk more, and his evasive attitude was thought-provoking.

Ah Wu helped Zhu Chengyu out and opened an umbrella to shield him from the sun. Jiang Hanfeng lagged behind half a step and happened to be on the same path as them.

Zhu Chengyu suddenly turned around, looking in an unknown direction, with a look of trepidation on his face: "Master's leg...will it never get better?"

He has been testing Hua Zhu these past few days, but Hua Zhu never responds, and Zhu Chengyu is completely helpless.

Jiang Hanfeng seemed to have followed Hua Zhu for many years and didn't stay here often, so he should know a lot, but there was not such a deep understanding between him and Hua Zhu.

Zhu Chengyu seized this opportunity and tried to get useful information from Jiang Hanfeng.

He didn't know that Jiang Hanfeng was shocked when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized it.

So the flower owner had a leg injury?

After a fierce battle between him and Lin Ziwen, his legs were broken by Lin Ziwen, and he also beat Lin Ziwen half to death. Perhaps when Lin Ziwen left, he was trying to hold back his discomfort, so Huazhu didn't notice anything unusual, so Huazhu was so jealous of him.

This kind of thing happens all the time in the world. We can only say that fate plays tricks on us and destiny is unpredictable.

If the flower owner knew that Lin Ziwen was paralyzed and disabled before his death, and couldn't even speak, he would probably laugh a few times and let out a sigh of relief.

Jiang Hanfeng acted like a completely clueless person, just like the legendary swordsman who only knew how to practice swordsmanship. It seemed that the outside world had nothing to do with him, and he was in no mood to think about it. He said coldly, "The Flower Master is blessed with great fortune, and he will recover naturally."

Zhu Chengyu paused for a moment, "Is the Palace Master really dead?"

He was planning to frame Hua Zhu, but now he is going to frame Jiang Hanfeng?

However, Jiang Hanfeng was Huazhu's man, so there was no difference. Zhu Chengyu was afraid that other famous people in the martial arts world were also Huazhu's men.

His power was just too great... Zhu Chengyu was a little scared. He was afraid that even after all his planning, he still wouldn't be able to escape the clutches of Hua Zhu. Not only would he not be able to legitimately become the Palace Master of Qingyu Palace, but he might even lose himself.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chengyu couldn't help but sigh.

It would be fine if the flower owner was willing to have him, but the problem is that the flower owner doesn't even want to look at him more than once, and is very averse to close contact with him.

Is he afraid he'll find out he can't move his legs?

Zhu Chengyu didn't care at all whether his legs were good or not. If Huazhu couldn't do it, he could do the one above. As long as Huazhu was willing to let him go and hand over Qingyu Palace to him, that would be enough.

"Dead. I killed him myself."

Jiang Hanfeng looked at Zhu Chengyu's sad expression and thought that what Zhu Chengyu said in the room just now might not be true.

He is the child of the elder of Qingyu Palace. Lin Ziwen has always been gentle in temperament, so there must be feelings between them.

The young man had probably begged the flower owner to spare Lin Ziwen, but the flower owner did not agree because of his hatred. Now that Lin Ziwen is dead, he called the young man over to let him hear the bad news in person, which put an end to all his thoughts.

What is the relationship between Huazhu and this young man?

The master and the pedophile, or relatives? Or perhaps old friends?

If the flower owner is Zu Cenyu and the boy is named Zhu Chengyu, they look more like brothers.

"What's wrong with your hair?" Jiang Hanfeng asked.

Zhu Chengyu was stunned for a moment. No one had asked this question for a long time.

He was an illegitimate child brought back from outside by the elders of Qingyu Palace. When he came to Qingyu Palace, he was already ten years old. Everyone who saw him would ask what happened to his hair and eyes. At that time, Zhu Chengyu was called a monster, and the Taoist priests of Qingyu Palace often quarreled with him without any mercy, whipping him with bamboo sticks, saying that they wanted to save his soul.

Later, Zhu Chengyu was favored by that old guy. His biological parents had a quarrel, but finally reached an agreement and tricked him into the old guy's bedroom.

He was loved by that old bastard and was adopted as his son. From then on, Zhu Chengyu became a different person. He could not suppress the darkness and distortion in his heart. He relied on Lin Ziwen's favor to act recklessly and cruelly punished his fellow disciples, even his parents.

He had been the young master of Qingyu Palace for three years, and everyone under him respected and feared him. No one dared to look him in the face anymore, let alone mention his unusual hair and eye color.

Even when Zhu Chengyu came to Zanhua Lane, no one asked.

Zhu Chengyu didn't think anything was wrong before, but after hearing the familiar words spoken by Jiang Hanfeng, she realized why the flower owner didn't show any surprise when she saw him?

Even if the other people in Zanhua Lane didn't ask, they could tell that there were indeed differences in their attitudes towards him. Only the Flower Master communicated with him as if he were an ordinary person.

Jiang Hanfeng didn't know that this simple sentence would make Zhu Chengyu fall into memories. He just wanted to know whether Zhu Chengyu and Hua Zhu were brothers.

"The flower owner has been covering his face." Jiang Hanfeng said, "Could it be that he has a different appearance than you?"

Zhu Chengyu was awakened by him and suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

When Jiang Hanfeng saw his reaction, he knew he had asked the wrong person. Even if they were really brothers, this white-haired boy was indeed blind and could not see the other person's face.

Zhu Chengyu asked: "Have you seen Huazhu's injuries?"

Jiang Hanfeng: “No.”

After the two people tried it out, they separated at the door and went in different directions.

Lan Jin listened to their conversation under the eaves, and after watching the three people leave, she chuckled softly.

The area in front of his house was indeed a good place to eavesdrop. Even if he stood there openly, he would be blocked by the pillars in front and the flowers and plants in front. The sounds of birds and insects would also cover his view. As long as he did not make any noise, few people would be able to spot him.

It was not the first time that Lan Jin heard other people gossiping, but it was the first time that he heard such interesting gossip.

The two men were testing each other, but they both thought that the other was the master's man. This is what is meant by "those in power are often confused". They did not even notice anything was wrong.

Lan Jin had all the information, so he could naturally see what their purpose was.

He closed the folding fan in his hand, and with a leisurely smile, he slowly walked to Shen Yingxue's room.

"Master, Jiang Hanfeng and Zhu Chengyu were outside just now..."

He relayed their conversation to Shen Yingxue.

Shen Yingxue thought it was quite interesting at first, but frowned when he heard the latter part. After Lan Jin finished speaking, he whispered, "What do you think this means?"

Lan Jin said: "Zhu Chengyu thought you were not good at walking, so he used this to test Jiang Hanfeng. Jiang Hanfeng did not hold any suspicion towards him and actually believed him directly."

Shen Yingxue: “…” White-haired handsome boy, what makes you think I’m disabled?

Lan Jin said, "Jiang Hanfeng seems to think that you made him grudge against the Palace Master of Qingyu Palace, so he wants to kill him. Maybe he thinks that you were harmed by the Palace Master of Qingyu Palace, which is why you are unable to walk."

Shen Yingxue: “…” Sword practitioner, you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually started to make conspiracies.

"Jiang Hanfeng also thinks that you have a wound on your face, which is why you keep covering it up and not showing your true face to others."

“…”

The flower owner is obviously very decent, gentle and kind, and he even stopped everyone from killing people. Shouldn't he be a very principled person? Why do everyone think the worst of him?

Shen Yingxue's mind went blank for a long time. "Do you think I should go along with their guess?"

Xun Yan and Lan Jin agreed: "Yes."

Shen Yingxue asked: "Why?"

Xun Yan said: "You have had many flaws before. If you really do this, you can reduce suspicion. Have you forgotten? When you pretended to be 'Ling Yun', you also wore a mask. If you wear a mask for no reason, it will easily arouse suspicion."

Lan Jin said: "I only heard what these two people said, and I have never heard of more people. Maybe there are others who think the same way. Many people in the Anbu know you, but none of them recognize your identity. It can be seen that your current image is very different from what we imagined in the past."

The two people each gave their own reasons, but their thoughts were very consistent: Zhu Chengyu/Jiang Hanfeng would not like a disfigured old man with a bad temper.

Shen Yingxue was more naive and didn't think that far. "You guys have a point... But the wound on my face is fine, but how did Zhu Chengyu know that I couldn't walk?"

He simply rejected Zhu Chengyu's suggestion to go for a walk under the sun on a hot day, and then such a character appeared out of nowhere. Shen Yingxue felt very aggrieved.

Xun Yan patted his head and soothed him, "It's not your fault, it's Zhu Chengyu's fault. He has a problem with his brain. Sir, don't pay any attention to him in the future."

Lan Jin was once again stunned. It turned out that a relationship between a pure master and servant could be like this. She was so jealous...

Shen Yingxue had been thinking about her character for a long time, but suddenly it became so distorted that she didn't even recognize it.

He threw away his hat in frustration, quickly took off his outer robe, lay on the bed, took out the token, swiped it twice, and opened a role-playing game.

Why is it so difficult to create a character? He doesn’t even believe it!

Xun Yan looked helplessly at Shen Yingxue who was lying on the bed poking the token. Thinking of the early deceased Hua Lulu, the smile in his eyes disappeared.

"Sir, I'm going to prepare the things I need for my disguise. I'll be back in a bit."

Shen Yingxue was immersed in the game and ignored him.

Xun Yan asked Lan Jin to stay and left Shen Yingxue's room. Looking at the sky outside, he was pleased that Shen Yingxue's spirit was getting better and better, but he also felt confused and at a loss about the future.

The leader looks good now, but that is only temporary.

He still felt pain in his wounds at night, and would still vomit blood when he used his inner strength or when he was particularly emotional.

The doctor said that the leader will not live long. Xun Yan used to think that Shen Yingxue was seriously injured and was in critical condition. Now he wonders if he is still missing Hua Lulu. Even if he doesn't mention it, he is longing to reunite with Hua Lulu in his heart?

The intrigues and deceptions in the world are so complicated. The leader had to face both open and covert attacks in the past, and he still cannot escape them now.

Shen Yingxue played for a long time and fell asleep again while holding the game console.

When he woke up and saw the game console in his arms, he was thankful that it was a role-playing game. If he hadn't clicked on an option, the page would have stayed there and the game would not have failed.

But when will his rag doll-like body get better?

Just as I was thinking, Xun Yan came over with a bowl of water, "I guess you should wake up by now, it seems the time is just right. This is the ginseng soup made by the kitchen, it is perfect for replenishing qi and blood, but since you are weak, I only put a little ginseng in it, you can try it."

The words "You are weak" kept repeating in Shen Yingxue's mind. He took the ginseng soup, drank it sadly, and then lay back on the bed.

Xun Yan said: "The disguise stuff is ready, do you want to try it?"

Shen Yingxue had never seen a disguise before, "Okay."

Xun Yan brought the props, which looked a bit like modern cosmetics, and some flour-like things, which might be used to change bones. In addition to these, there were some strange bottles and jars, but there was no human skin mask as Shen Yingxue imagined.

He got out of bed, sat in front of the dressing table, and turned slightly to make room for Xun Yan. Xun Yan washed his face first, tied up his hair, and took those things to apply on his face. It was done in a short while.

Shen Yingxue turned his head to face the mirror and discovered with sadness that he only saw a huge butterfly-shaped mosaic pasted on his face. He could vaguely see the facial features behind it, as if there was an extra sticker, but he could not see anything else.

Shen Yingxue touched it with his hand and found that it was not thick at all. The mosaic blocked his senses. This was good. At least it wouldn't be so hot in the summer.

"What do you think, sir? Is there anything else that needs to be changed?" Xun Yan asked.

"It's good, no need to change it." Shen Yingxue said.
