Chapter 234: Lianxing Arrives
Chapter 234: Lianxing Arrives
Turning back, the Murong Yong couple saw a breathtakingly beautiful woman dressed in a white cloud-patterned silk skirt that trailed gracefully behind her as she appeared in the doorway.
In an instant, they realized, Palace Master Lianxing had arrived!
The next moment, without employing any light martial arts movements, Lianxing approached with a smile on her jade-like face. Her graceful gait, as she took light steps, resembled the gentle swaying of a willow tree, her movements elegant and captivating.
Yao Yue maintained a calm expression, her countenance unreadable.
Jiang Feng, on the other hand, was somewhat surprised as he asked, "You've recovered so soon?"
Lianxing's smile was enchanting as she replied, "Yes, your healing skills are truly remarkable. I felt completely rejuvenated not long ago, so I decided to come and find you both."
Yao Yue's response was indifferent, "You should have rested for a few more days."
Lianxing's smile faded slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, she explained, "I've circulated my internal energy throughout my body, and I feel no hindrance or pain when walking or moving. I'm fully healed."
More than three months had passed since Jiang Feng had treated Lianxing's leg injury.
For an ordinary person, three months might be considered a slightly short recovery period, and they would likely still be on medical leave.
However, for someone like Lianxing, who had the aid of Jiang Feng's medicinal ointment, exceptional martial arts skills, and a robust recovery ability, three months was indeed a long time.
For top-notch martial artists like them, recovering from external injuries was far simpler than dealing with internal ones.
As they spoke, Lianxing had already reached the couple. Looking at Jiang Feng, she felt her mood lift, and she couldn't help but feel delighted. She even twirled once in front of them, showcasing her graceful figure and posture.
"Well, what do you think?" Lianxing asked with a smile.
Yao Yue narrowed her eyes, her voice cold, "I see."
Murong Yong and his wife remained silent, but their emotions were far from pleasant.
Due to their advanced martial arts skills, their senses were also heightened. They noticed that Yao Yue's aura had suddenly turned cold, and their formidable strength made them want to shudder.
They weren't fools; they could clearly see that Lianxing's expression upon seeing Jiang Feng was equally unusual—her eyes sparkled, and her face glowed with a soft radiance.
Murong's wife's heart pounded with anxiety. She had previously thought that Yao Yue and Jiang Feng had reached an understanding and were just waiting for the right opportunity. But now, she realized that before that opportunity could arise, a crisis had emerged instead.
On the other side, Murong Yong glanced at Jiang Feng, unsure if he should envy or pity him. The sisters of Yi Hua Palace were indeed breathtakingly beautiful and exceptionally skilled in martial arts, but their reputation and personalities, as rumored, left much to be desired!
Facing Yao Yue, Lianxing still felt a sense of trepidation. Although their relationship had improved slightly, the intimidation built up over more than a decade couldn't be dissolved in just a few months.
While her attitude could soften, she wouldn't give up on her goal.
Lianxing resisted the urge to embrace Jiang Feng's arm but stood close to him. In a soft voice, she asked, "I heard you're here to attend Murong Yong's fourth daughter's betrothal ceremony. How is it going? Has the ceremony begun?"
Jiang Feng's smile was somewhat forced, as Lianxing stood so close that he could smell the faint fragrance emanating from her.
Yao Yue's expression turned even colder, and she replied, "It's over."
Lianxing's eyes shifted, and she glanced at the martial artists still lingering in the hall. Her delicate nose twitched, detecting a hint of blood, and her eyebrows lifted slightly, "Did you take action, sister?"
"Yao Yue killed a few who insulted me," Jiang Feng explained.
Yao Yue relaxed her posture slightly, but Lianxing's face turned cold, "Who dares to insult you?"
Yao Yue lifted her hand slightly, gently caressing her wrist, "If Jiang Feng hadn't stopped me, I would have killed all those foul-mouthed men."
Yao Yue and Lianxing made no attempt to lower their voices, so many of the nearby jianghu practitioners overheard their conversation, causing them to feel annoyed. However, intimidated by the sisters' martial arts prowess, they could only feign ignorance.
At that moment, no one wanted to be the target of their wrath.
Some of the northern martial artists shifted their gazes to the Hua Mountain's Fengyun Swordmaster, known for his fame, second only to Master Huangji. However, the swordmaster seemed unperturbed, sitting calmly at the table with his eyes closed as he savored his tea, as if he were amidst the serene clouds and mist of Hua Mountain's Lotus Peak.
On the other hand, Jiang Feng accepted Lianxing's praise.
But sensing the chilly aura emanating from Yao Yue by his side, he couldn't help but force a bitter smile.
Lianxing, noticing Yao Yue's displeasure, bit her lip gently and subtly created a little distance between herself and Jiang Feng. With a smile, she said, "I met Yue Nu. I've never been to the water towns of Jiangnan either, so it'll be nice to explore together."
Yao Yue narrowed her eyes, giving Lianxing a faint, indifferent glance.
Lianxing responded with a charming smile, as if oblivious to Yao Yue's stare.
Far from feeling delighted by having two beauties by his side, Jiang Feng was perplexed by how the situation had escalated to this point. Back in Xiuyugou Valley, he had maintained a clear distance from them!
Why, then, had Yao Yue and Lianxing become even more aggressive after leaving the valley?
And to make matters worse, neither of them had confessed their feelings, leaving him unable to voice his refusal.
This was truly frustrating!
Jiang Feng's heart hardened, and he felt an urge to spread his arms wide and pull both women into an embrace, resolving the matter openly. With that thought, he spread his arms, only to cross them over his waist as he nodded. "Sure, why not? It's good for you sisters to get out and explore rather than staying cooped up in the valley all the time."
Yao Yue and Lianxing exchanged a glance, one with a cold expression and the other with a smile playing at her lips.
At that moment, their relationship with Jiang Feng was an open secret, but due to their rivalry, neither was willing to address it directly. At the same time, they felt a hint of guilt towards Jiang Feng.
They believed that he didn't want to hurt either of them.
Jiang Feng: ╮(╯▽╰)
╭
Big Brother, where are you?
I want to roam the jianghu with you and perform heroic deeds!
Just then, a man in coarse hemp clothing appeared on the road, carrying an open letter. He jogged towards the manor, interrupting the ambiguous atmosphere among the group.
The man stood at the entrance of the manor and shouted, "Is Murong Yong, the head of the Murong family, present? I have a letter here that I need to read aloud to him!"
Murong Yong snapped out of his trance, brought back to the present by the man's outburst. With a calm demeanor, he asked, "I am Murong Yong. What does the person who sent you look like?"
The man had come to read the letter aloud, clearly intending to make its contents public. Thus, Murong Yong didn't inquire about the letter's content but instead focused on the messenger's description.
The disheveled-looking man turned his eyes and shouted, "He's a tall and burly man with a fierce appearance and a broad mouth.
He gave me three liang of silver and asked me to tell Murong that he has entrusted his child to Tie Wushuang for upbringing. He requests that the Murong family also help take care of the child. Otherwise, if anything happens to the child, he will destroy the entire Murong family!"
