TGM Vol.4 Chapter 23 – The Eve (5)

Yu Sifeng smiled, caught her by the wrist, and was about to speak. Suddenly, he heard a rustle next to him. Someone came over through the flowers and willows. The two of them looked intently and saw that it was Zhong Minyan. As soon as he saw Xuanji and Yu Sifeng, he immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled, “So you are here, I was looking for you.”

Both of them were dumbfounded, thinking that he was clearly with Linglong in the courtyard, how come he came out alone after that?

When Zhong Minyan saw that they were dazed, he laughed and said, “What are you doing? Looking at me like this. Master asked me to call you, he seems to have something to tell you.

Xuanji said strangely, “Aren’t you here to call us for dinner?”

Zhong Minyan was stunned, then laughed, “Ah …… right. But just now he said there was something to say.”

Xuanji didn’t doubt what he said, so she wanted to follow him immediately. Yu Sifeng suddenly asked, “Little Six, what about Linglong?” The name “Little Six” is exclusive to Ling Long, others would only call him that when they are joking or upset, and Yu Sifeng has never called him that since they met.

Zhong Minyan didn’t change his expression and said, “She’s going by first. Just waiting for you.”

Yu Sifeng suddenly sneered and said, “She will go there first? I don’t think so!” As soon as these words came out, Zhong Minyan’s face changed drastically and he jumped up more than three feet high, as if he wanted to escape. Yu Sifeng was prepared, and threw the marbles clutched in his palm, only to hear a few muffled sounds, hitting the man’s vest. His body shook, as if he was about to fall. Yu Sifeng had already gathered the qi in his hand, and was about to seriously injure him. The man suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the branch, like a swing, and turned and flipped in the air, landing far away into the bush. When they entered the bushes, they were too late to catch up again. Only a few drops of blood were left on the ground, and the man escaped extremely fast.

“Fake?” Xuanji was surprised, thinking that this Zhong Minyan is the same as the real Zhong Minyan, from his figure to his eyebrows and even his tone of voice, and she feels even more frightened. How can there be someone who can pretend to be someone else so well?

Yu Sifeng dabbed some blood with his finger and placed it in front of his nose, a faint fishy smell, the blood was red with a blue tinge, very different from the usual blood. Not human! He frowned slightly, it is a demon. He turned back and said: “It’s a fake. It was provoked by my words, the flaw appeared, and fled.”

Xuanji trembled and said, “He …… he is so good at pretending. The one who pretended to be father to deceive the Sixth Brother is also him? He …… got into the Fuyu Island?”

Yu Sifeng abruptly remembered just listening to the words of the disciples of the Fuyu Island, he has always had a thing hanging in his heart, always felt that something is not right, until now it became clear, and he nearly lost his voice, “I know! Those demons are mixed in!”

He told Xuanji what he had encountered in the afternoon, at that time he heard Chu Lei brought a few new disciples on the island, he did not take it to heart, but then the more he thought more and more it felt wrong, Chu Lei was clearly recounting old things with Dongfang Qingqi, how is it possible to suddenly bring new disciples on the island?

“It is those demons! Among them must be demons good at changing shape! As long as they have seen the person once, they can become the same. I should have thought of that! Ting Nu is right. They planned Minyan’s return this time! They took advantage of the lack of attention and changed to blend in with the Fuyu Island!”

Yu Sifeng did not care to explain further, turned around and left, “Quick! Let’s go find your father and Island Master Dongfang!”

The two hurried to the main hall, and suddenly met Linglong on the way. As soon as she saw Yu Sifeng and Xuanji, she waved with a smile, “There you are! Let’s go, let’s go to the main hall together!”

Xuanji was frightened by the person who could change, and was afraid that Linglong was also a fake, so she didn’t reply at once, and drew out Bēng Yù with a ‘hing’ sound. Linglong was stunned and said: “What are you doing?” Xuanji made a move to slash down on her head, but Linglong was stunned and did not move, watching Bēng Yù fall towards the top of his head.

‘Ding’, but it as Yu Sifeng who held up Bēng Yù with his sword, and he said solemnly, “Wait!”

Linglong’s face was white and she looked at them both unbelievably, and after a long time, bean-sized tears rolled around in her eyes and she trembled and said “What’s wrong with you ……? Xuanji? What happened? What’s wrong?”

Yu Sifeng said gently, “Where did you come from? Why is Minyan not here?”

Linglong said, “I …… just came from Minyan’s courtyard …… the man with white hair said to have dinner or something ……”

Xuanji sighed a long sigh and hurriedly took back Bēng Yù, walked up and hugged Linglong, whispering: “Sorry …… for scaring you.”

The first time the fear is over, Linglong’s unruly nature suddenly emerges, stamping her feet and saying loudly, “What the hell are you playing at? You’re playing me like a monkey? Yu Sifeng! You tell me!”

Yu Sifeng said, “Those demons have mixed with into Fuyu Island. Just now, they came to call us in the form of Minyan, but I found the flaw and injured them and escaped. I saw that you were also alone, so I was suspicious. Where is Minyan?”

Linglong jumped, and said urgently, “Minyan was just called away by father! I was going to go too, but father didn’t let me go, so I had to leave first ……”

“No! That’s not your father!” Yu Sifeng said loudly, “It’s a fake! No! Let’s find it!”

Xuanji hated this man who could change, and when she thought that he had tricked Zhong Minyan, she wanted to use Bēng Yù to tie him into a hornet’s nest. Linglong was at a loss, but when she heard that they were going to look for him, she naturally refused to miss it. The three of them went back to look for him and flew with their swords in the direction where Zhong Minyan was taken.

The green forest was like a continuous wave that rolled past the soles of their feet. With Xuanji’s sharp eyes, she was the first to see the corner of Zhong Minyan’s dark blue clothes, he knelt on the ground, opposite him stands Chu Lei. She was about to open her mouth to call out, but Linglong had already screamed: “Minyan! Don’t listen to him! He is a fake father!”

Zhong Minyan looked up in amazement, only to see the three of them landing their flying swords, Xuanji was not able to say anything, so she drew the sword to attack Chu Lei, Chu Lei took a step back, dodged the sword sharply, and said sternly, “Audacious! What are you doing?!”

Zhong Minyan does not know what they said, so when he saw Xuanji’s vicious stance, aimed towards Chu Lei to vitally attack, he can not help but anxiously say, “Xuanji! Are you crazy?” The words have not yet fallen but Yu Sifeng also followed up to draw the sword to help, he was even more confused, and said, “What is this? You …… have all gone crazy?”

Linglong tugged him, said urgently, “You’ve been lied to! Father said he never ordered you to be an undercover agent! It was someone who took on his form to deceive you!”

Zhong Minyan felt like a thunderbolt hit him from the clear sky, his mind was blown blank by her words, and only after a long time did he say with a shudder, “What did you …… say?”

Linglong said again: “Just now someone else turned into your appearance to deceive Xuanji and Sifeng, but they recognized and injured them! You sober up a bit! How can a man like father let you do such a dirty job as an undercover agent? That man is not father at all!”

Zhong Minyan could not be sober, his mind was in a state of confusion, and with the three people fighting fiercely across from him, the violent sound of swords clashing was even more disturbing. He slowly clutched his head and squatted on the ground, unable to say a word, only to feel that everything in the past was like a cloud of fog, hazy, unable to see anything.

Xuanji couldn’t attack for a long time, and her heart was upset. The sword moves suddenly changed, as if a dragon going out to the sea interlocking with each other, there was a vague flash of fire on Bēng Yù, gradually, it danced faster and faster, like a ferocious fire snake swinging its tail. Chu Lei could still cope with the two’s attack first, but now finally felt the strain. Her movements are getting faster and faster and dazzling, plus Yu Sifeng’s stature is strange, often from unexpected places thrust his sword over. He barely dodged a few moves, finally jumped away and sternly said, “You two have gone mad? What the hell are you doing?”

Linglong sees his attitude, tone, expression exactly like Chu Lei, originally still firmly believe that he is a fake, but there is now some uncertainty, whispered, “You …… wait! He is not a fake, right?”

Xuanji sneered, swung the sword in her hand, said morosely, “You can deceive others, but not me! The blood behind your back can’t be hidden from my nose! The demonic aura rises to the sky!”

The man was pierced by her, and immediately fled again. Yu Sifeng threw the sword forcefully, but the man was unable to dodge in the air, so he had to protect his chest and the sword brushed his cheek. His face changed, his feet gently clicked on the top of the tree, and his whole body swirled up like smoke, quickly dispersing and disappearing again.

“He got away again!” Xuanji was resentful, and smashed Bēng Yù back into its scabbard.

Yu Sifeng smiled and said, “Its okay. His face is injured. No matter who he becomes, you’ll know it’s him when you see the scar on his face.”

The two of them looked back and saw Zhong Minyan’s dazed and confused appearance, so they both sighed.

“Let’s go.” Yu Sifeng patted him on the shoulder, “Go to Sect Leader Chu and explain everything clearly.”
