Chapter 185: Chapter 132: A Bottle of Elixir, A Golden Hairpin [5K]
He didn’t utter a sound.
Leisurely, he lifted the hem of his coat and unhooked a badge from his waist.
Usually, he would place the jade token his senior sister gave him in a less conspicuous spot to avoid recognition, for after all, his senior sister roamed around killing... acting as a chivalrous fighter.
It was normal to offend others, but since Cen Yueyue had guessed his identity, it was impractical to keep trying to hide it. Moreover, he didn’t want to be dragged forcibly to the Southern Border by this girl.
Her eyes widened, and despite the dim night, she could still make out the faint bloodstreaks on the jade token, and the tiny characters that made her vision go dark.
"You, you, you, are really Liu Jianxian’s disciple."
She stuttered outright.
But Mr. Jiang only retreated silently two steps back. Although he trusted this girl’s character, he couldn’t guarantee that his senior sister hadn’t taken the lives of Cen Family Village folks. If trouble started, he would...
Swoosh!
Before he could react, his hands were enveloped in an embrace.
With a dumbfounded expression, Cen Yueyue didn’t make much use of her physical strength during the fight, merely demonstrating her exquisite Daoist Skill and control over Magic Treasures. But now, it seemed this little ancestor was terrifyingly strong.
"It’s true, it really is."
"My goodness, it’s actually a genuine Liu Jianxian signature, I, I, I... I remember this Jade Token, I’ve seen it before!"
"At my tenth birthday banquet, my father invited numerous experts to join us, and just then, Liu Jianxian was passing through the Southern Border, not far from Cen Family Village. My father thought she was going to create trouble again, so he went out to check."
"In the end, Sword Immortal was just in the area looking for traces of an Evil Cultivator, so she accepted the invitation, unexpectedly."
"At the time, she even bestowed a Sword Qi on me, I, I... Look, no wonder your Swordsmanship seemed so familiar, I should have realized it sooner, look, look!"
She hurriedly let go, drawing her own weapon, a gleaming longsword with a subdued decoration, over three feet long. Upon drawing the sword, a sharp and formidable presence was felt.
She retreated several paces to create some distance. For most people who had only seen Cen Yueyue partake in Sword Flight or control Magic Treasures, her Swordsmanship was rarely witnessed. But now, with the sword unsheathed, the familiar sword movements and sword intent caused Jiang Feng’s eyes to widen.
Although not as exquisite as his, the recognized Sword Qi raised his eyebrows, given that this woman had only had a brief encounter with them.
"It really is my senior sister’s technique."
"See, right! I didn’t deceive you, this was from the time when Liu Jianxian visited Cen Family Village at my father’s invitation, and then... then."
A flush of excitement crossed Cen Yueyue’s face as she mentioned this, her expression slightly complicated as if recalling some awkward memories.
Nevertheless, she sheathed her longsword and whispered.
"At the time, Sword Immortal was invited to my house as a guest, but there were people from other major families present at my birthday banquet, all twelve tribes sent representatives."
"In the end, a few families had a bit of a... little blood feud with Liu Xianzi, as in she had killed seven or eight of their disciples and Hall Masters and such..."
"In the end, a fight erupted, but Liu Jianxian didn’t start it at our place. Instead, she took those who stirred trouble outside and dealt with them before coming back to continue at the banquet."
Gulp—
His adam’s apple bobbed up and down.
Now he understood why his senior sister had once told him it was best not to display this badge when out and about, as it was meant to identify his corpse.
Jiang Feng had no doubts about what he was told, as it was totally in line with his senior sister’s character. Sensing the strange look in Jiang Feng’s eyes, Cen Yueyue quickly explained.
"That is, she didn’t go too harsh, just a little sparring, and a lot of people went out to watch. Liu Jianxian and the Southern Border had no enmity, no intention of engaging in a large-scale conflict... just, she struck those people a dozen times with her sword."
His heart which had been hanging, now dropped completely.
He sighed, but now that Jiang Feng had a clear understanding of the situation, he asked straightforwardly, "Are you my senior sister’s fan?"
"Fan? What’s that, can you eat it?" She blinked puzzledly, "But, I do have a small favor to ask..."
She fidgeted with her fingers anxiously, the first time he had seen such a girlish gesture from Cen Yueyue.
Mr. Jiang raised an eyebrow, and said plainly, "Do you want to meet my senior sister?"
"Yes!"
He knew it.
Seeing the girl’s excited expression, Jiang Feng shook his head helplessly. It was like being smitten... no, starstruck.
"There will be a chance, I will tell her. She has gone back to the sect now."
"No problem, just mention it... erm, Young Master Jiang, if you’re not in a hurry to leave, could you accompany me for a bit of the way? We happen to be heading to a nearby town anyway. We can sit down and, well, have a chat?"
She was a bit shy.
But this was the first time she had ever taken the initiative to ask a man out on a date, and while extending the invitation, she quickly ruffled her somewhat disheveled hair from the fight, revealing a very ladylike smile.
She did look somewhat like an aristocratic young lady.
Before he had a chance to agree, a small but burly man hurriedly ran from a distance. With one leap using the tree branches, he covered a distance of at least fifteen meters.
Accompanied by his dark skin, it was like a black gorilla moving rapidly through the forest, his powerful palms grabbing a branch, crushing it effortlessly and directly swinging right in front of them.
"Cousin! I’m back."
A face full of smiles revealed that Cen Zhuangzhuang, this young master, had a very cheerful personality, and the fact that he had rushed over to provide support immediately after escorting the villagers showed he was someone worth befriending.
