Chapter 405: The Great Actress Tu Xiupei
Feng Tianlan helped Luo Yunzhu off the boat. Tu Xiupei was in front of them and walking toward them in a welcoming manner.
“Eldest Sister! I have been waiting for you for a long time,” Tu Xiupei exclaimed as her gaze landed on Feng Tianlan’s face. Looking at the vivid scar, the smile on her face became brighter.
She had feared initially that when Feng Tianlan came to the Flying Frost Pavilion, her fascinating allure might compel most people to stand by her side. However, now that she’d covered up her attractive appearance, a lot of pain could be avoided.
Feng Tianlan looked at Tu Xiupei, smiling with such sisterly love. She squinted slightly and remarked, “After what happened in that small town, Miss Tu has become even more strikingly beautiful. Your figure is much firmer and more enchanting.”
Hearing Feng Tianlan’s words, the smile on Tu Xiupei’s face slowly deflated. Her hands, initially hanging by her side, suddenly clenched into fists as she stared at Feng Tianlan with a glare full of hatred.
At the mention of the small town, Tu Xiupei’s whole body shivered. So many men had come at her at once, and hundreds had gathered to watch that humiliating scene.
Feng Tianlan had been the cause of it all.
What made Tu Xiupei even angrier was that she’d killed everyone in town then bribed the magistrates’ office to have Feng Tianlan declared a lady demon. However, in the end, everything had been overcome, and Feng Tianlan had not been injured at all.
With His Highness supporting her, Feng Tianlan’s arrogance now reached the sky.
She wanted to see how arrogant Feng Tianlan was going to be at the Flying Frost Pavilion, which was not in the South Winds Nation’s territory, and without the support of His Highness.
“Eldest Sister has come to the Flying Frost Pavilion. Your younger sister absolutely must take good care of you,” Tu Xiupei breathed, emphasizing the words ‘take good care.’
Feng Tianlan curled her lips slightly as she mocked her sister, saying, “Miss Tu is very forgetful. The Feng Family only has one daughter. Since when do I have a younger sister? I wouldn’t dare accept such prestige.”
Tu Xiupei lowered her head. Feng Tianlan was trying to say that she was shameless.
“Eldest Sister doesn’t recognize me, but I could never not recognize Eldest Sister. No matter what, Eldest Sister has only just arrived today, so I must take good care of her.” Tu Xiupei bit her lower lip, painfully reminding herself that she must not lose her cool. She had to maintain a good image at all costs.
Anyway, this situation was disadvantageous to Feng Tianlan, and she didn’t really have anything to lose.
From the side, Luo Yunzhu watched Tu Xiupei behave like nothing had happened and act out her sisterly love for Feng Tianlan. She was quite surprised. “She is so strong.”
After going through such a traumatic event in that small town, she still had to act like nothing had happened, as if horror had never befallen her. She still managed to converse with Tianlan with a smile. Luo Yunzhu admired her psychological resilience to the point that she wanted to get down on all fours.
“Her true colors will be revealed very soon.” Feng Tianlan was indifferent to Tu Xiupei’s acting skills. She had seen them all a very long time ago.
After Lin Shuyin finished speaking to Tu Xiupei, she walked up to Feng Tianlan and said, “It seems like Miss Feng and Miss Tu don’t get along well.”
“Are you blind or deaf? That is well known all across South Winds Nation. Does it still ‘seem’ like it to you?” Luo Yunzhu glared at Lin Shuyin with contempt. Ever since she’d tried to take advantage of His Highness, she hadn’t felt comfortable around Lin Shuyin, no matter how she looked at her.
Lin Shuyin was full of awkwardness as she protested, “I thought that was just a rumor.”
“What does it have to do with you?” Feng Tianlan glanced at her then pulled Luo Yunzhu along as she walked forward.
“Truth or no, I believe in Miss Feng. I will stand at Miss Feng’s side.” Lin Shuyin quickly followed them while taking out two spiritual crystals from her sleeves. “Miss Feng, about what happened last time, I really am sorry. I say this with all sincerity.”
Tch!
Luo Yunzhu sneered in disdain as she looked at the two spiritual crystals as big as goose eggs. Tianlan now had a vast Spiritual Crystal Mine of her own. Compared to a whole mine, two egg-sized spiritual stones were nothing.
Feng Tianlan glanced at the spiritual stones, then looked at Lin Shuyin and said, “Miss Lin, now we’re even.”
