Jiang Bie He narrowed his eyes as he observed everything.
He had long discovered Hua Wu Que's identity.
He recalled what he had done in the past.
He had secretly lured the other sons-in-law to stop him.
However, he did not expect things to develop in a way that was beyond his expectations. These useless people were all scared off with just one sentence.
What made Jiang Bie He even more furious was that the eldest son-in-law had actually chosen to look at him when the matter had been exposed.
Not enough to accomplish anything.
More than enough to spoil things.
Jiang Bie He did not even look at him.
He walked straight ahead, passing by the eldest son-in-law and arriving in front of Hua Wu Que.
He smiled and said, "This must be a misunderstanding."
Hua Wu Que looked at him indifferently. He did not understand what this person in front of him was planning.
Jiang Bie He looked at him.
The corners of his mouth curled up. He had an amiable and honest look.
However, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this person did not notice.
However...
He could not help but narrow his eyes.
He wondered if Hua Wu Que had heard him...
Hua Wu Que looked at him indifferently. He did not say a word.
He had just entered the jianghu, but it did not mean that he did not have the ability to recognize people.
Most of the external matters of the Shifting Flower Palace were handled by Lian Xing. Hua Wu Que had seen countless people by her side all year round. Those who greeted her with a smile and those who had different thoughts could not escape his eyes.
He could see the disgust in Jiang Bie He's smile with one glance.
Before he could say anything, there was a sudden movement at the door.
At that moment, everyone raised their heads to look at the door.
The fragrance assailed their nostrils.
The bell rang.
"Misunderstanding?" An elegant and soft voice gradually approached along with the fragrance of the flowers.
A gorgeous apricot white sedan entered through the door. On both sides of the sedan were maids carrying all kinds of flower baskets. The maids had cold expressions and outstanding appearances.
Everyone sniffed the cold and faintly discernible fragrance of the flowers. They felt relaxed and happy. Many people's eyes flashed with a trace of infatuation.
At the door, the sedan stopped.
When the maid bent down and was about to lift the curtain of the sedan, a pair of slender white fingers stretched out. The apricot colored curtain was almost merged into one color.
The voice that came from the palanquin was still cold and indifferent, but it was filled with majesty. "Just because you say it's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding. Do you think everyone in the Moving Flower Palace is dead?!"
It was like a clap of thunder exploding beside everyone's ears, exploding to the point that everyone was thrown off their feet. All the sons-in-law's eyebrows twitched as a premonition of impending calamity surged into their hearts.
The surrounding Chivalrous Warriors were not in a good situation either. Many of them felt their hearts sink. Just the sound alone was enough to make their hearts skip a beat. One could only imagine how deep the Inner Qi of the person in the palanquin was. The knowledgeable Chivalrous Warriors had already guessed the identity of the person in the palanquin. After all, rumors had been circulating in the Jianghu for a long time.
It was said that the Shifting Flower Palace's Palace Master Lian Xing's martial arts talent could be said to be a heavenly genius. Back then, she alone could force the old monsters of the Jianghu to not dare to make a sound. She was the one who brought her elder sister to show off her martial prowess.
Some of the younger Chivalrous Warriors who had just entered the Jianghu could not help but curiously look at the exquisite palanquin. Before they left their houses, their elders had repeatedly warned them not to make enemies with the people of the Shifting Flower Palace, especially the Palace Master Lian Xing. She had a murderous expression on her face.
Even now, he could still recall the expression of that elder when he mentioned the famous Palace Master Lian Xing. He furrowed his brows.
"That person can crush you to death with one hand."
"Little Aunt!"
"Palace Master Lian Xing!!!"
"Palace Master Lian Xing!!!"
The people surrounding Hua Wu Que's villa had already shifted their attention to the entrance. Soon after, they looked as if they had seen a ghost. When Jiang Bie He saw the familiar palanquin, his heart was filled with fear. He could not forget this palanquin. This was his nightmare for many years. He also involuntarily blurted out the identity of the person in the palanquin, "Palace Master Lian Xing!"
Tie Xinlan and Little Fishy were hiding in a corner of the palace. They had seen what had happened to Hua Wu Que. Little Fishy gritted his teeth and was about to rush over to help Hua Wu Que when he saw the person outside.
The series of events that followed caught him off guard.
Little Fishy stared blankly at the palanquin and said softly, "She … is Palace Master Lian Xing?"
The legendary person who had raised Hua Wu Que?
Tie Xinlan glanced at him. She could feel that Little Fishy's heart was not calm. However, she was not surprised at all because her heart was also in turmoil. She did not expect Hua Wu Que to be from the Shifting Flower Palace.
The two of them looked at each other at the same time. Confusion and curiosity met in their eyes. Little Fishy quickly retracted his gaze and looked at the palanquin.
It was at this time that they heard the conversation of the Jianghu Warriors.
"Why did Palace Master Lian Xing come at this time?
Didn't Hua Wu Que come from the Shifting Flower Palace?
Old Manor Master Murong shouldn't have given her so much face, right? "
His companion impatiently rolled his eyes, "You are really stupid. Do you think she is here to celebrate her birthday?"
That voice replied in surprise, "Isn't that the case?"
His companion choked. He did not expect his friend's intelligence to be so low. For a moment, he did not know what to say. He felt that his brain was not very good when he seriously discussed with him.
He shut his mouth.
At this time, that voice wanted to say something but was immediately stopped by a sentence.
"Shut up. Palace Master Lian Xing will come out in a moment."
"Oh." He obediently shut his mouth.
Fishy listened with a strange expression. Just a moment ago, his mental state was exactly the same as the voice from before. He thought that Palace Master Lian Xing had come to celebrate Manor Master Murong's birthday, but who would have thought that wasn't the case?
It was at this time.
The pair of jade hands that were caressing the curtain outside moved. The curtain was slowly lifted, revealing the figure inside.
What kind of eyes were those? They were cold and misty, looking down at everyone present. Her jade fingers were retracted, and her skin was whiter than snow. It was as if she was a beauty made of jade. Her voice was lively, misty, and unfathomable. Although her tone was cold and emotionless, causing people to tremble, it was gentle, delicate, and captivating.
Silence filled the air.
Everyone's gazes were attracted by the beauty in the palanquin. Their eyes were filled with infatuation.
Little Fishy looked at that person. Although he knew the identity of that person, he could not help but be moved. At this moment, Little Fishy finally understood the mentality of the two Palace Masters of the Shifting Flower Palace.
Hua Wu Que's eyes lit up. He immediately dodged the encirclement of the crowd and arrived in front of the palanquin, "Little Aunt, why are you here?"
Xie Lige laughed lightly, as her elegant voice reverberated through the air. That beautiful countenance of hers became much gentler the instant she saw Hua Wu Que, causing her to become even more enchanting.
"I'm here to find you."
"Gulp!"
The people who were looking at her without blinking swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Xie Lige naturally heard the sound. She furrowed her brows and looked around. The aura around her increased greatly. She looked satisfyingly at the people who were forced to retreat. Only when everyone looked away did she stop.
Hua Wu Que also turned his head and followed Xie Lige's gaze to the side. He saw Little Fishy and Tie Xinlan. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. He thought that the two of them had already eloped. He did not expect them to still be here. He did not take it to heart and only nodded his head slightly.
Little Fishy was extremely flustered. He did not know where to put his hands and feet.
Xie Lige stood up from the palanquin, his delicate and graceful body slowly walked out. The intricate and gorgeous palace robes trailed behind him. His elegant face was cold. Hua Wu Que followed beside him and guided him along the way.
Xie Lige walked at a leisurely pace and said casually, "That's your twin brother?"
Hua Wu Que lightly nodded his head.
Xie Lige said, "What a pity."
It was a pity to leave such a good seedling to someone like Yan Nantian.
Hua Wu Que did not say anything. Every time his little aunt mentioned Yan Nantian, her mood would not be good. At this time, he just needed to keep his mouth shut.
… …
The two of them asked and answered. Because their voices were very soft, only the two of them could hear them. Everyone could only see a fragrant wind. After that, the jade-like beauty coldly led Hua Wu Que past.
When she passed by the sons-in-law and Jiang Bie He, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
The sons-in-law could not help but slow down their breathing. They looked at each other anxiously. Jiang Bie He's eyes were filled with fear, as if he had seen a ghost.
Xie Lige was very indifferent to everyone's reaction. She had seen many such reactions. Her pair of beautiful eyes coldly swept across Jiang Bie He. She saw through the fear in his heart. She was not in a hurry to leave. Intentionally or unintentionally, she said, "I think I saw an old friend?"
Hua Wu Que raised his head. He understood that his little aunt was deliberately looking for trouble with Jiang Bie He. He asked and answered, "Who?"
"Of course it's Hero Jiang." Xie Lige's smile was cold and ethereal. His words made Jiang Biehe's forehead sweat again.
The sons-in-law of Murong Manor looked at Jiang Bie He in disbelief. They realized that they might have been deceived by this man. Especially the eldest sons-in-law, who was panting heavily. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Jiang Bie He. He wanted to kill him with his own hands. If it was not for this man's instigation, if it was not for his actions just now, he would not be in such a dilemma.
If Hua Wu Que had admitted at the beginning, it would have been fine. This matter would have been settled between the two sects.
The key point was that Hua Wu Que didn't admit that he had done it, and Murong Manor couldn't produce any evidence. However, Jiang Biehe's conjecture didn't hold water at all. Especially when they were about to force Hua Wu Que to do it, someone from the Shifting Flower Palace came.
Now, there were only two results.
Either Murong Manor would admit their mistake, or they would send a scapegoat. There was no other choice. He would definitely be the scapegoat.
Jiang Bie He knew that he could no longer hide. The sons-in-law of Murong Manor behind him were about to pierce through him. He said dryly, "I did not expect Palace Master Lian Xing to grace Murong Manor with her presence. Please forgive me for not going out to meet you." He was too nervous. His voice was very hoarse, and there was no sincerity in it at all.
This was exactly what Xie Lige wanted. If he was unhappy, Xie Lige would be happy.
He said leisurely, "I didn't expect to meet you here. I didn't expect that after we parted years ago, Hero Jiang would suddenly rise up. You're different from the past."
Xie Lige had indeed met Jiang Bie He before. That was when the famous Hero Jiang was still Jiang Feng's attendant. The skinny attendant was a sharp contrast to the dignified and honest middle-aged man in front of him. Xie Lige smiled as he looked at Jiang Bie He's expression of despair. He was very happy. After admiring him for a while, he withdrew his gaze.
Jiang Bie He let out a sigh of relief. He breathed heavily as if he had returned from the brink of death. His whole body leaned against the wall behind him.
