Chapter 195: Lianxing is Happy, Yuao is Unhappy
Chapter 195: Lianxing is Happy, Yuao is Unhappy
"Are you Jiang Feng, the sworn brother of Yan Nantian, the number one swordsman in the world?" Yuao asked.
When Jiang Feng had introduced himself as "Jiang Feng from Jingzhou" earlier, the two sisters hadn't made the connection. But with Jiang Gui mentioning "Master Yan" and seeing Jiang Feng's remarkable appearance, demeanor, wit, and martial arts skills, they immediately realized who he was.
"It's me," Jiang Feng nodded.
"Then do you know who we are?" Lianxing tilted her head slightly, a hint of displeasure lurking beneath her playful tone.
After all, she and her sister were renowned beauties. They had conversed with him, yet he hadn't even asked their names. Were they so unattractive that he didn't care to know?
Women were a contradictory bunch—they despised being stared at, yet they were unhappy when ignored, especially by men like Wei Wuya and Jiang Feng.
But they weren't being hypocritical; they simply had a preference for handsome men!
Sensing the displeasure in Lianxing's tone, Jiang Feng spread his hands and said, "Who else could make Wei Wuya, the leader of the Twelve Constellation, flee in disarray other than the two Palace Masters of Yihua Palace in Xiuyu Valley, the martial arts holy land?"
A slight smile appeared on Yuao's cold face when she heard this.
"So you recognized us from the start," Lianxing said with a smile.
Jiang Feng nodded, "But I didn't know Xiuyu Valley was so close by."
"It's not that close, but the journey is difficult, and ordinary people can't enter," Lianxing said.
"Yihua Palace is a secluded holy land, not a place that mortals can casually visit," Jiang Feng said.
Lianxing sighed, "But it's also quite boring and lonely there."
"Chang'e must regret stealing the elixir; in the vast ocean and azure sky, her heart longs for her lover every night," Jiang Feng said sympathetically, "The mountain is cold and lonely, perfect for martial arts training, but not for cultivating the heart."
Lianxing's heart skipped a beat. Jiang Feng's words seemed to echo her own feelings.
Yuao, who had been listening with her head down, suddenly looked up at Jiang Feng, surprised that he could speak with such profound insight into the philosophy of martial arts. "Is that why Yan Nantian wanders the rivers and lakes all day?" she asked.
"No," Jiang Feng shook his head, "He's just a busybody."
Lianxing couldn't help but laugh, "How can you describe your sworn brother like that?"
"Am I not speaking the truth?" Jiang Feng smiled.
Lianxing thought about the news she had heard and felt that Jiang Feng was indeed telling the truth, "People say that Jiang Feng is an honest gentleman, and it seems the reputation is well-deserved."
"Then I'm a bit flattered. Actually, there are times when I'm not so honest," Jiang Feng said, pointing to the dead Jiang Qin, who still had his eyes wide open.
"He plotted his own schemes and met his end. You didn't kill him yourself, so you must have considered the master-servant relationship," Lianxing said.
"Thank you for your comfort. I'm honored," Jiang Feng said with a laugh. He nodded seriously, "I feel the same way. I hope he can rest in peace."
Jiang Feng and Lianxing shared a glance and smiled at each other.
Talking to Lianxing was indeed a pleasant experience. Jiang Feng almost missed a beat, feeling like a dragon playing in a wonderful world.
As she watched Lianxing and Jiang Feng getting along swimmingly, Yuao felt a vague sense of discomfort.
When had her sister, who usually kept a straight face, ever been so happy?
Why was Jiang Feng, famous throughout the world, so friendly to her sister?
Yuao had a vague idea why, but she didn't want to think about it. Moreover, she knew that she could never be like Lianxing.
Yuao took a deep breath and said indifferently, "But you're about to die."
"Hmm?"
Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow, and Lianxing was startled.
"Why?" Lianxing asked, her heart stirring. "Did they use poison just now?"
However, Jiang Feng remained expressionless, as if he hadn't noticed anything. Instead, he gently patted Lianxing's hand and said, "Thank you for your concern. I also have some knowledge about poisons. They won't have a chance to poison me."
Lianxing breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling more relaxed, she couldn't help but shoot a playful glance at Jiang Feng. "There are too many types of poisons in this world. How can anyone know them all?"
Jiang Feng smiled but didn't refute her statement. After all, he couldn't very well reveal the existence of the Manual of Flower Pity, a book that recorded the principles of using poison to identify poisons and allowed one to fundamentally recognize toxins. Unless it was an extremely unique poison, it would be within the scope of identification outlined in the manual.
Lianxing turned to Yuao and asked, "Sister, why did you say he's going to die?"
Seeing Lianxing and Jiang Feng so close and comfortable with each other, Yuao's mood soured further, and her face turned even colder.
"Because he killed five chickens and a pig, and he also encountered Wei Wuya. Don't you think Wei Wuya will seek revenge?" Yuao replied calmly.
Lianxing was taken aback. "Wei Wuya just suffered a big loss at our hands. He must be burning with anger and looking for an outlet for his frustration!"
Yuao nodded and turned to Jiang Feng, expecting to see him panic.
But Jiang Feng didn't show the reaction she anticipated.
"Don't underestimate Wei Wuya," he said. "Your sword skills are swift, but his martial arts are also formidable. Moreover, his true strength lies not in his martial arts."
Lianxing added, "He's the leader of the Twelve Constellations, skilled in hidden weapons and poisons, and adept at underhanded tactics. He's despicable and will stop at nothing. Not only is he treacherous himself, but he also has the Twelve Constellations as his accomplices."
Jiang Feng nodded. "I've never underestimated Wei Wuya, but it won't be easy for him to kill me."
Without the Manual of Flower Pity, he wouldn't have been so confident in dealing with Wei Wuya. But now, aside from possibly being a notch below Wei Wuya in martial arts, he was practically a superior version of the man in all other abilities.
Who would dare claim that Wang Lianhua, the author of the manual, was inferior to Wei Wuya when it came to hidden weapons, medicine, and poison techniques?
Moreover, let's talk about Wei Wuya's martial arts.
In the world of The Proud Twins, Wei Wuya was undoubtedly the strongest character aside from the three major "bugs" in the story.
Bloodhand Du Sha was driven to Evil Valley by the Great Hero of the South, Lu Zhongyuan, but Lu Zhongyuan himself was so discouraged by Wei Wuya that he retired from the world.
Later, although Lu Zhongyuan learned Yan Nantian's sword techniques and martial arts, it was more to imitate Yan Nantian's style than to truly enhance his own strength. Yet, he managed to defeat Hua Wuque.
Additionally, Wei Wuya defeated the already skilled Xiao Yu'er in a head-on battle within a short period. The few major villains who left Evil Valley only dared to linger around Guishan Mountain but never dared to seek revenge on Wei Wuya.
The strength comparison was clear, wasn't it?
Oh, and one more crucial point—Wei Wuya had personally gone to Yihua Palace to propose marriage to Yuao and Lianxing, yet he managed to escape from these two ladies!
...
Seeing Jiang Feng's relaxed attitude, Lianxing felt that he was being overly optimistic and naive, like a gentleman who had yet to experience the harsh realities of the jianghu.
She couldn't help but feel both annoyed and amused as she said, "You can't possibly expect Yan Nantian to accompany you everywhere, can you?"
Jiang Feng blinked and smiled. "That does seem like a solution."
Lianxing: "..."
Yuao: "..."
