Face-Changing Master

Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian had been keeping a close eye on the happenings at Liu Manor.

Seeing Tong Baixiong emerge alone.

The two felt a surge of joy, speaking in unison, "Tong Baixiong failed!"

Ren Yingying's face lit up, "Uncle Xiang, our chance has arrived."

Xiang Wentian was also delighted, chuckling, "Yingying, listening to you was indeed the right choice. If we had left just now, we might have missed this opportunity."

Ren Yingying pursed her lips and smiled, "Uncle Xiang, let's hurry to Liu Manor."

Xiang Wentian nodded, casually picking up the bundle beside him.

As he walked, the contents of the bundle clinked together, emitting a pleasant sound.

This bundle contained items Xiang Wentian had prepared earlier, intending to present them to Su Chen as a welcoming gift.

The two walked swiftly, and soon arrived within Liu Manor.

At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng had just returned to the front courtyard from the back, tidying up the yard with Qu Yang and Mo Da.

Hearing the commotion, the three looked up again.

"Holy Maiden, Right Emissary Xiang, why have you come?" Qu Yang greeted them.

Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng exchanged glances, their minds filled with questions.

What was going on today?

Elder Tong Baixiong of the Sun Moon Holy Cult had just left, and now the Holy Maiden and the Right Emissary of Guangming had arrived.

"Elder Qu," Ren Yingying replied with a smile.

"I heard there is an peerless swordsman at Second Master Liu's residence. Uncle Xiang and I have come to find him today."

Upon hearing this, Qu Yang and the other two understood.

Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian were also here to find Su Chen.

Qu Yang did not inquire why Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian had not come with Tong Baixiong.

He then turned to Liu Zhengfeng and said, "Brother Liu, I'll have to trouble you one more time."

Liu Zhengfeng had initially intended to refuse.

He was afraid that repeatedly disturbing Su Chen might annoy him, or even displease him.

However, before he could voice his refusal, Xiang Wentian had already made his move.

He shook the bundle in his hand, and a clinking sound emerged.

"I've prepared a small gift for that swordsman. I would be grateful if Second Master Liu could introduce us, allowing me to present the gift."

Seeing this, Liu Zhengfeng swallowed his refusal.

Having interacted with Su Chen for the past few days, he had some understanding of his personality.

If they approached with a gift, Su Chen would likely not be angry.

With this thought, Liu Zhengfeng said, "For Brother Qu's sake, I will lead you there once more."

With that, he led Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying towards the back courtyard.

Liu Manor's back courtyard.

Su Chen was immersed in the system, calculating how to spend the Martial Arts Points he had earned this time.

Just then, he heard footsteps and snapped back to attention.

"Lord Su, I've come again," Liu Zhengfeng greeted with a smile.

As he spoke, he stepped aside, revealing Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying behind him.

"These two are the Holy Maiden and Right Emissary of the Sun Moon Holy Cult, here to visit you."

Su Chen frowned.

One Tong Baixiong had left, and now two more had arrived. He didn't have that much free time to entertain people from the Sun Moon Holy Cult.

However, before he could react.

Xiang Wentian stepped forward and offered the bundle in his hand.

"Young Master Su, it's our first meeting. This is a small token of my regard, nothing much."

As he spoke, Xiang Wentian untied the bundle, revealing a pair of Ruyi scepters carved from white jade.

Su Chen glanced at them and immediately recognized that this pair of jade Ruyi scepters was worth at least several thousand silver taels.

"Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying are much more sensible than Tong Baixiong," Su Chen mused inwardly.

If you can't find the book by searching the title, you can try searching for the author, perhaps the name has changed!

His attitude immediately shifted.

The frown that had just appeared on his brow instantly smoothed out, and a smile touched his lips.

"Haha, you two are too kind. It's fine to just come, no need to bring gifts."

Though he spoke politely, his hands moved just as quickly, reaching out to take the jade ruyi from Xiang Wentian.

Liu Zhengfeng was used to this and didn't find anything amiss.

However, this was the first time Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying had interacted with Su Chen.

Seeing how quickly Su Chen changed his expression, the two found it quite peculiar.

Still, they both let out a sigh of relief.

At the very least, this was a good start.

"I'm glad Young Hero Su likes it."

Ren Yingying had a vague sense of Su Chen's personality and continued to press her advantage.

"We came in a hurry this time and didn't have time to prepare many gifts. Next time, next time I will definitely prepare a generous gift for Young Hero."

"Tsk, brilliant. This Holy Maiden is truly a remarkable person." Liu Zhengfeng marveled inwardly, a hint of admiration creeping into his gaze as he looked at Ren Yingying.

The smile on Su Chen's face widened further.

"Since you two are being so polite, you must have something you need my help with, right?"

After saying this, the smile on Su Chen's face vanished completely, replaced by a serious expression.

At this moment, he had already made some guesses about the purpose of their visit.

Since the two of them hadn't come with Tong Baixiong, it meant their visit was for personal matters, not official business of the Sun Moon Holy Cult.

Something that required both Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian to personally appear must be related to Ren Woxing.

Su Chen knew that Ren Woxing was imprisoned by Dongfang Bubai.

In his original world, Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian had sought out Linghu Chong to rescue Ren Woxing from Plum Manor.

"It seems they've set their sights on me, wanting me to help rescue Ren Woxing."

Su Chen stared at Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying, his eyes devoid of any smile.

He believed in dealing with matters clearly.

He was happy to accept gifts, but

if they wanted him to do something, they had to pay the silver taels owed.

One moment he was all smiles, and the next he had adopted a strictly business-like attitude.

Even for Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian, who had weathered many storms and spent a long time immersed in the jianghu, they found it a bit difficult to adjust at this moment.

Beside them, Liu Zhengfeng maintained his composed expression.

"People say those from Sichuan are skilled at face-changing, but I think Master Su's mastery of this art surpasses theirs."

"If they were to hold a 'Face-Changing King' competition, I, Liu, would definitely cast my vote for Master Su."

Liu Zhengfeng thought with a touch of mischievousness.

At this moment, Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying had also recovered their composure.

The expressions on their faces also turned serious.

"Young Hero Su is truly a straightforward person." Ren Yingying praised him first, then continued, "Since Young Hero Su is so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush."

"Uncle Xiang and I are here for a major matter, and we'd like to ask for Young Hero's assistance."

Su Chen had anticipated this but didn't immediately call them out. "Tell me, what is it?"

Ren Yingying didn't reply immediately. She first looked at Liu Zhengfeng and said apologetically, "Second Master Liu, please excuse us for a moment."

Although Liu Zhengfeng was the host, he was now being asked to leave.

However, he didn't seem annoyed.

Having been in the jianghu for a long time, he had long understood a principle: it was best not to know certain things.

Given the seriousness with which Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian were acting, whatever they wanted Su Chen to do was undoubtedly significant.

Liu Zhengfeng understood this, so he didn't refuse. He smiled and left the backyard.

After Liu Zhengfeng departed, Ren Yingying finally spoke, "Young Hero Su, I want to ask you to help rescue someone."
