Chapter 95: Hehe, I Knew You’d Come…
Feng Shi’s face was filled with surprise.
This strike from Sheng Lan was not to be underestimated. Although her strength was suppressed to the Jindan stage, such a powerful blow was enough to make Feng Shi—whose spiritual energy had only recovered to fifty percent—unable to withstand it.
The sound of people gasping in shock came from behind.
Feng Shi reacted quickly, summoning Wucheng to cut that section of the water-sleeve.
But because the master’s strength was limited, Wucheng couldn’t display its full power either. It was rudely repelled two inches by the light-blue spiritual energy on the water-sleeve.
Just as the water-sleeve was about to hit Feng Shi’s face, at the critical moment, a slightly pale hand reached out from the void, striking with a burst of spiritual energy that pushed Sheng Lan’s wrist away.
“That’s enough, Sheng Lan.”
Shen Songhe’s cold voice rang out. Then, a light green spiritual energy appeared in the air and vanished, and the person originally hidden within it slowly revealed himself.
Upon seeing this person’s appearance, the crowd was in an uproar.
“It’s actually Yubai Xianzun!”
“He really came! It seems the rumors were indeed true!”
“Then what about Immortal Sheng Lan?”
“I think Immortal Sheng Lan knew he had come long ago. That strike just now was a test. After all, the rumors say Yubai Xianzun dotes on his little disciple extremely much. Immortal Sheng Lan was probably jealous.”
The last sentence was spoken in a low voice. Feng Shi heard it and felt it made some sense.
Counting this time, he and Sheng Lan had only met twice. There was no reason for the other party to strike such a lethal blow against a junior like him. The only explanation was to draw out Shen Songhe.
Sure enough, looking at Sheng Lan’s expression after seeing Shen Songhe, he knew this guess was correct.
Feng Shi: “…” So he really was just a tool.
Today, Shen Songhe was wearing a gray-and-green Daoist robe, looking as pure as a lotus. His white hair was bound with a green jade crown and adorned with cloud-silk hair ribbons.
His features were stern. At first glance, he looked as cold as frost—and in fact, he truly was as cold as frost.
He gave people a sense of unreality.
Only when his gaze landed on Feng Shi beside him did it shift slightly, showing a hint of emotion.
Feng Shi looked at the suddenly revealed Shen Songhe, then at Sheng Lan, who had suddenly become feminine after Shen Songhe appeared, and remained silent.
A rare shyness appeared on Sheng Lan’s face. Her voice was soft, and her hands tugged at her sleeves in front of her. “Hehe, I knew you’d come…”
After saying this, her tone changed: “That son of a bitch Qiu Changzhou actually dared to lie to me!”
Feng Shi: “…”
Shen Songhe: “…”
Everyone: “…”
At this moment, a disease called “scalp-tingling” rapidly spread among the crowd, successfully defeating the embarrassment.
“But why did you hide? Look, didn’t I catch you anyway?” Sheng Lan giggled with a high-pitched, delicate voice. As she spoke, she moved forward to grab Shen Songhe’s arm.
Shen Songhe’s brow knitted, and he instantly shifted behind Feng Shi.
Feng Shi: “…” He silently placed his hand on his waist, swallowed his saliva, and put on a smiling face.
The moment Sheng Lan saw Feng Shi, she immediately changed her expression, looking up and saying indifferently, “Move aside.”
Feng Shi now understood why Shen Songhe insisted on hiding his form.
They say a determined woman can haunt a man; this was a reversal of that.
He wanted to move aside, but Shen Songhe wouldn’t let him. He reached out a hand from behind and firmly supported Feng Shi’s waist, his voice deep. “Sheng Lan, you know what I mean.”
Seeing this, Sheng Lan’s gaze instantly froze. Unwillingness flowed through her light blue eyes. She seemed to want to say something more, but Shen Songhe cut her off before she could speak.
“Do not make a fool of yourself here.”
“Also, do not let the matter of harming Feng Shi happen again.”
Feng Shi’s scalp was tight, and he lowered his head like an ostrich.
He wasn’t afraid of anything else; he was just afraid of a woman with strange hobbies like Sheng Lan. Besides, in this situation, it was better for him not to speak.
Sheng Lan wasn’t an excessively unreasonable person. Hearing this, she swept a glance at the people below who were stretching their necks to watch the excitement. Her brow sharpened, and she raised her voice. “What are you looking at?! Look again and I’ll gouge your eyeballs out!”
Everyone lowered their heads in unison, breaking into a cold sweat. They reached out to pull the grass on the ground to hide their embarrassment.
The situation they had repeatedly tried to avoid had occurred, so Shen Songhe stopped hiding.
The three of them slowly landed.
The atmosphere was heavy and subtle.
Those who had wanted to kill Feng Shi or confess to him earlier were sweating profusely.
When they were speaking their true thoughts, they never expected that there was actually a Shen Songhe listening from the shadows!
Never mind what would happen if this got out; just the fact that his Master knew his disciple was being coveted by everyone was already very difficult to handle.
If Shen Songhe’s character were more heartless, those who shouted about killing Feng Shi to steal the secret manual would probably have been dead long ago.
Therefore, everyone at this moment wanted to escape, yet they were afraid to speak because Sheng Lan was present.
However, the ones who felt most out of place were Xiao Yuhui, Zhou Rurong, Xue Mei, and that elder from the Tai Chu Sect.
Two wanted his heart, one wanted his body, and one wanted his life.
…
At this time, Xiao Yi and Xiao Er also successfully retrieved the array core and presented it with both hands. “Immortal, it is a high-grade artifact.”
Sheng Lan’s mind was now entirely on Shen Songhe. She took the artifact without even looking at it and handed it over. “Hehe, this artifact is useless in my hands. I’ll give it to you.”
Shen Songhe frowned slightly, feeling a bit irritated. “I’ve told you, don’t call me that.”
Seeing he was unhappy, Sheng Lan immediately put on a cautious and submissive appearance, responding, “Alright, alright, if you don’t like it, I won’t call you that.”
Then she turned to look at Feng Shi, her voice indifferent. “You take this artifact.”
After saying this, she tossed the item directly over.
No matter how you looked at it, it was a high-grade artifact, yet she gave it away just like that.
Feng Shi: “!!”
He held the artifact as if holding a hot potato, hurriedly looking at Shen Songhe.
Facing him, Shen Songhe revealed a slight smile. “If Xiaoshi wants to keep it, then keep it.”
Feng Shi didn’t want to.
But Sheng Lan narrowed her eyes, her gaze seeming to say: If you dare to refuse, I’ll strip your pants off!
Feng Shi shrunk his neck, not daring to look closely, and directly put the item away.
Only then was Sheng Lan satisfied. She turned to look at Shen Songhe with a smile. It seemed she loved the house as well as the crow; her attitude toward Feng Shi had also improved a lot.
Feng Shi examined her attitude carefully and gradually began to find something strange.
Originally, he thought Sheng Lan was an admirer of Shen Songhe, but now it didn’t seem quite like that.
Because the look Sheng Lan gave Shen Songhe didn’t have the obsession of a “girlfriend fan,” but rather… doting?
If he truly had to say, it was a bit like a “mother fan”…
Since Shen Songhe had already appeared, he no longer restrained himself. With a slight flick of his finger, Yanluo, which was standing by his side, flew out rapidly and pressed against the throat of that elder from the Tai Chu Sect.
Before he could even say anything, the elder was already sweating like rain, his legs turning weak from fear.
Although Shen Songhe was already a “useless person” in everyone’s mouth, everyone knew clearly that he held several top-tier immortal artifacts in his hand and had the Chongshan Sect behind him. Ordinary people simply couldn’t touch him, especially now with Immortal Sheng Lan clearly favoring him.
At this thought, the elder abandoned all dignity and knelt directly toward Feng Shi, cupping his hands. “Young friend Feng! This old man was possessed! But even if you lent this old man ten times the courage, I wouldn’t dare to truly touch you. I hope young friend Feng is magnanimous and will not take offense with this old man!”
(Shen Songhe and Sheng Lan do not have an ambiguous relationship.)
