Chapter 585: Don't You Think Tianzong and Xiaoyao Marquis Have Similar Auras?

"Then you are mistaken."

With a smile, Feng Si Niang spoke and, with a slight movement of her hands within her sleeves, produced two short swords that she placed on the table.

The swords remained sheathed, their bronze scabbards adorned with blue and red gems, respectively.

"Red Dawn, Blue Jade." Feng Si Niang proudly declared, "In the past, these were the swords wielded by Shen Ruolan, the top disciple of Gongsun Daniu. They have been passed down for hundreds of years, capable of cutting iron as if it were mud, and are among the most prized possessions of the Xiaoyao Marquis."

"Did he give them to you?" Xiao Eleven asked, astonished.

"Of course." With a proud tilt of her head, Feng Si Niang glanced at Lian Chengbi, her eyebrows arched in triumph. "Would he have given me these swords if we weren't friends?"

"Is the Xiaoyao Marquis interested in you?" Xiao Eleven asked, his eyes wide. "Did he give you both swords?"

"Why wouldn't he be interested in me?" Feng Si Niang looked at Xiao Eleven and then at Lian Chengbi, a cold smile playing on her lips. "Am I really that old?"

Lian Chengbi quickly waved his hands in denial. "Si Niang isn't old at all."

Feng Si Niang nodded in satisfaction, then turned as Xiao Eleven asked, "How many concubines does he intend to make you?"

"You two are ganging up on me!" Feng Si Niang was about to slam her hand on the table. "That Xiaoyao Marquis scours the rivers and lakes for beautiful women, but even if he came with a grand procession, I wouldn't marry him!"

Yang Kaitai nodded vigorously. "That's right! Even if he's extremely skilled in martial arts, he wouldn't be devoted to you!"

"But you still haven't seen him, have you?" Xiao Eleven inquired.

"That's true." Feng Si Niang nodded. "Every time I went to see him, we spoke from behind a curtain. Once, I couldn't help but rush through the curtain to catch a glimpse of his true face."

"Did you see him?" Shen Bijun asked curiously.

Feng Si Niang shook her head. "No, I thought I was fast enough, but by the time I rushed through the curtain, he was already gone."

Xiao Eleven nodded. "It seems he really isn't interested in you."

Feng Si Niang's eyebrows knitted together in annoyance, about to retort, when Lian Chengbi asked, "How far were you from the curtain when you moved, and where was he standing behind it? How far was that spot from the nearest window or door?"

Feng Si Niang paused, then replied, "I was about five feet from the curtain, and I was sitting on a soft couch. I didn't waste any time when I stood up."

"As for behind the curtain..." Feng Si Niang thought for a moment. "It was a quiet room with a bed inside. There was no door, but the window was directly across from the bed, about ten feet away."

Feng Si Niang was adept at light skills. Her sudden rush forward, covering five feet to pull aside the curtain, could be said to have happened in an instant.

Yet, with only a moment's reaction time, the Xiaoyao Marquis had managed to fly a full ten feet to escape through the window, so quickly that Feng Si Niang hadn't even caught a glimpse of his shadow?

"Such remarkable light skills," Xiao Eleven said, sounding slightly incredulous.

Lian Chengbi frowned. "Was there only that one window in the room?"

"There was a small window behind the bed." Feng Si Niang waved her hand dismissively. "Maybe you could have squeezed through it when you were ten years old."

Lian Chengbi nodded, understanding and admiring, "Indeed, excellent light skills."

"Shaolin's Iron Ci Master, Wudang's Dan Song Zhenren, the Central Plains Hero Ouyang Jiu, and the elusive Mu Zun all acknowledge that they are no match for him."

Feng Si Niang smiled. "So even though he doesn't have a ranking in the rivers and lakes, the Xiaoyao Marquis's martial arts are considered the best in the world today."

Iron Ci Master was the abbot of Shaolin, and Dan Song Zhenren was the head of Wudang.

Being at the pinnacle of the martial arts world, their words were naturally beyond doubt.

"I feel deeply honored that you would rank me alongside him." Lian Chengbi said with a smile.

Feng Si Niang teased, "Don't be discouraged, guys. The Marquis of Xiaoyao has also been famous for many years. You're still young, and you'll eventually surpass him."

Xiao Eleven snorted, "I really appreciate your comfort!"

Feng Si Niang laughed heartily, "You're welcome!"

"Wait, weren't we discussing how to deal with Tianzong? How did we end up talking about the Marquis of Xiaoyao again?" Yang Kaitai asked.

"It's because he asked." Feng Si Niang nudged Lian Chengbi and smiled mischievously, "Looks like our Lian Gongzi is quite interested in the number one in the world, huh?"

"I'm not interested in being number one in the world. I'm just interested in the Marquis of Xiaoyao," Lian Chengbi said with a smile.

"Wealthy enough to rival nations, shrouded in mystery, and looking down on royalty? The fact that Tianzong has recruited so many experts without any overt actions shows that they have ample funds. And the fact that they use 'Heaven' in their name indicates their arrogance. As for being mysterious... tsk tsk tsk..."

Lian Chengbi hinted at something as he said, "Don't you think Tianzong and the Marquis of Xiaoyao have similar auras?"

Yang Kaitai was stunned, and Xiao Eleven fell into deep thought.

Feng Si Niang sighed, "The Marquis of Xiaoyao is already the best in the world, and he's been searching for beautiful women everywhere. If he wanted to establish a sect, he could do it easily. Why go through all the trouble of creating Tianzong?"

"Makes sense," Yang Kaitai immediately agreed.

Lian Chengbi stroked his chin and smiled without saying a word.

Xiao Eleven thought for a moment and asked Feng Si Niang, "Where is the Marquis of Xiaoyao now?"

Feng Si Niang shook her head, "As I said, the Marquis of Xiaoyao is shrouded in mystery. Even when he's searching for beautiful women, he keeps a low profile. No one in the martial arts world knows where he is, and he always comes to find me when we meet."

"Since we can't find the Marquis of Xiaoyao, let's look for someone from Tianzong," Xiao Eleven suggested.

Xiao Eleven turned to Lian Chengbi, "At least tell me one of the names that Tu Xiaotian mentioned back then. That way, I can keep an eye on him and investigate discreetly."

"Okay." Lian Chengbi nodded and gave a name, "Xie Tianshi."

"Who?"

Everyone was shocked.

"Xie Tianshi?" Yang Kaitai exclaimed, as he was friends with this person!

"The new leader of Diancang?" Xiao Eleven was also surprised because the leader of one of the Seven Great Sword Sects was actually subordinate to Tianzong, which was hard to believe.

Everyone looked at Xiao Eleven, and Feng Si Niang asked, "Isn't the leader of Diancang Xie Xingyun?"

"Xie Xingyun passed away some time ago, and the new leader is Xie Tianshi." Xiao Eleven explained, "By the way, you were on your way to the Northwest at that time, so you didn't know about this news."

"Was Xie Tianshi chosen by Xie Xingyun as his successor?" Lian Chengbi asked.

"No." Yang Kaitai shook his head, "I remember the successor was supposed to be Xie Tianqi."

Xiao Eleven calmly replied, "Xie Tianqi died suddenly on the night of Xie Xingyun's funeral. It's said that he died from old wounds due to extreme grief."

Lian Chengbi shook his head and chuckled, "It seems that the position of the new leader of Diancang was not obtained in a very upright manner."
