Identity Exposed
Yin Baikang caused such a commotion that the entire Dayang City could clearly feel the tremors. The people were in a state of panic, not knowing what had happened.
Nong Zhu, who was lying on the swing, suddenly appeared a few meters away from the swing. He stared at the direction from which the earthquake came with a solemn expression and muttered, "Could it be that Yin Baikang fought with that kidnapper? To be able to fight Yin Baikang like this, that kidnapper's cultivation must be extraordinary."
Just as he was hesitating whether to go and take a look, he found that the area had returned to calm, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself in astonishment, "The outcome was decided so quickly?"
With a creak, the tightly closed door was opened, and Yue Qianchou ran out shirtless, yelling at the direction of the epicenter, "Who is it? Who is it? Are you bored and making such a commotion? Can't a person get any sleep?"
After staring at Nong Zhu for a while, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door shut, and retreated back into his room.
Nong Zhu was stunned, speechless. He was quite certain that the kid had stayed in the room the whole time and hadn't gone out. So, his judgment was indeed wrong, and the kidnapping of Yin Baikang's grandson really wasn't done by this guy.
Yue Qianchou swaggered back to his room, grinning. He grabbed the equally giggling Furong and began to grope her, making Furong breathless. Then, Yue Qianchou's lust took over, and he pushed Furong onto the bed, where they engaged in another round of passionate lovemaking.
Nong Zhu scanned the area with his Divine Sense, then immediately withdrew it as if fleeing. He spat on the ground and cursed inwardly, "This kid is a complete stunt pig. He's already done this several times since yesterday. Doesn't he care about his own life?"
Little did he know, Yue Qianchou knew that although he was a flirtatious man, he wasn't lewd and would definitely not watch others do that. His hiding in the room fighting with the Furong Fairy was precisely to prevent Nong Zhu's Divine Sense from invading the room and monitoring him, so he could seize the opportunity to slip away.
In fact, when Furong got out of bed to do her hair, he had already left. The person lying on the bed was someone he had found from Utopia who had a similar build but was wearing the same mask and was pretending to be asleep, in order to create the evidence that he had been there the whole time.
Taking advantage of this lull, he successfully finished his business. Upon returning, he immediately ran out and shouted to prove he was still alive. Judging from the dumbfounded look Nong Zhu Old Man Nongzhu's face, he had clearly been fooled.
Feeling happy, and with a beautiful woman beside him, he naturally wanted to have sex with her!
After a long while, Yue Qianchou, in high spirits Yue Qianchou dressed in his usual spoiled manner, swaggered out of the door. Nong Zhu glanced at him and sneered, "Inhuman wretch."
Yue Qianchou ignored him. He climbed onto the wicker swing chair, closed his eyes, and swayed back and forth, looking utterly smug.
Suddenly, several whooshing sounds came from the air. Yue Qianchou opened his eyes and saw that there were seven more people in the courtyard. He recognized Wen Rui, but he had never seen Huo Zongming and the other six before. His gaze swept over the graceful young woman for a moment, then he closed his eyes again and pretended to sleep.
Huo Zongming six companions also scrutinized Yue Qianchou, a hint of doubt in their expressions. They looked at him, then at Nong Zhu, noticing a striking resemblance between the two. Considering Nong Zhu's past philandering, it all seemed rather suspicious!
"Is this your son?" Shu Xin asked Nong Zhu with a bitter expression.
"Uh..." Nong Zhu was stunned, quite shocked by these words. After recovering, she pointed at Yue Qianchou, whose eyes were wide open, and said, "Him? My son? How is that possible? He's not worthy of being my son."
"Damn it!" Yue Qianchou jumped high on the spot, almost leaping off the swing, and pointed at Nong Zhu, shouting, "Old man, what are you saying? Do you want to fight?" Then he lashed out at Shu Xin, "Who are you, you crazy woman? Talking nonsense, how come you're just like this old man?"
Shu Xin was taken aback by what was said. Surprisingly, instead of being angry at being scolded, a faint blush appeared on her face as she stared blankly at Nong Zhu. It seemed that the comment, "How come you're just like that old man?" was quite to her liking; she figured if Yue Qianchou said they looked like a married couple, Shu Xin would be even happier.
"You little brat, do you want to die?" Nong Zhu rolled up his sleeves and glared at him.
"Try it. If you can't kill me, I'll burn your South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest to ashes tomorrow." Yue Qianchou opened his large fan with a "whoosh," and the large clusters of peonies were dazzling.
"Oh ho! You really don't know your place..." Before Nong Zhu could finish speaking, Shu Xin beside him had already tugged at his sleeve and said softly, "Forget it, why bother arguing with a young man?"
When Nong Zhu was touched, she immediately lost her temper and subconsciously withdrew her hand. Yue Qianchou's eyes lit up, thinking to herself, "There's something going on!" She waved her fan even more vigorously.
After overhearing the conversation between the two, Huo Zongming and his companions looked at Yue Qianchou with suspicion. This kid dared to talk about burning down the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest, so he was clearly a Cultivation World as well. Upon closer inspection, they were surprised to find that they couldn't see through Yue Qianchou's cultivation level.
When did such a master emerge in the Cultivation World? I've never seen him before. Huo Zongming asked Nong Zhu with surprise and doubt, "Who is this young man? He looks unfamiliar. I've never seen him before."
Nong Zhu sneered, "What are you so surprised about? Don't be fooled by this kid's appearance. This guy is exceptionally talented. No matter how high your cultivation level is, you can't see through his cultivation. He's actually only at the Nascent Soul Realm stage."
Huo Zongming and the others exclaimed "Oh," showing expressions of understanding. However, their suspicions remained. How could a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator dare to speak to Nong Zhu like that? He must have quite a background.
"Hmph!" Yue Qianchou snorted coldly, giving Nong Zhu a look that said, "You dare to expose my secrets? Just you wait and see."
Nong Zhu was naturally unafraid of his threats, and instead asked the group, "Why are you here? Is there something you need from me?"
Huo Zongming and the others glanced at Shu Xin almost simultaneously. If she hadn't said she wanted to come and take a look, who among a group of Spirit Transformation stage experts would have come here? Wen Rui was also well aware of the situation, and immediately cupped his hands and smiled, "I invited you seniors to come and sit for a while."
Nong Zhu glanced at Shu Xin following their gazes, and immediately understood, but pretended not to know. The atmosphere became somewhat strange. Yue Qianchou stared at Nong Zhu and Shu Xin, snorting coldly, as if he knew everything.
At this moment, Furong quietly came out of the house, bowed slightly to the group, and tugged at Yue Qianchou, saying, "Yue Qianchou, why isn't Wen Qing here? Can I go find her?"
Yue Qianchou frowned. My fake identity has been exposed; they might not play along anymore. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, he suddenly saw an old man opposite him shout at Furong, "What did you just call him?"
The moment the name 'Yue Qianchou' was mentioned, all eyes were immediately drawn to Yue Qianchou. Furong's eyes immediately showed a hint of panic. Yue Qianchou knew something was wrong; this girl probably hadn't quite caught on and had let it slip.
Nong Zhu's expression also changed slightly. The person who shouted was Yan Ji from the Xiushui Kingdom. He had heard Ziyi mention that Yue Qianchou had killed two foreign cultivators surnamed Yan in Hundred Flower Valley. He knew that Yan Ji was this old man's disciple. This matter had gotten out of hand.
"Speak!" Yan Ji shouted again. Nong Zhu stepped between the two and awkwardly smiled, "Don't be impulsive, let's talk this out." The main responsibility for this matter still lay with him. If he hadn't come here, how would the Nascent Spirit Transformation stage have returned to this place? Conversely, Yue Qianchou's identity would not have been exposed.
Yue Qianchou closed his fan, gently pulled Furong aside, and said with a smile, "There's nothing here, you can go back inside first."
"I didn't mean to," Furong said, her head bowed.
"I know. Go back first, and be good," Yue Qianchou said with a nonchalant smile. His seemingly unaffected demeanor reassured Furong, who obediently nodded and went back.
Hearing the commotion, Zhang Peng, at his signal, retreated to protect Furong. Yue Qianchou stared at Yan Ji and asked, "Who are you? What gives you the right to yell at my people?"
Yan Ji narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I am Yan Ji, mid Spirit Transformation stage cultivator from the Xiushui Kingdom. That girl just called you Yue Qianchou. Are you Yue Qianchou from the Huaxia Cultivation World?"
Yue Qianchou put away his fan, rubbed off the human skin mask from his face, and threw it into his Storage Bag. He said expressionlessly, "I remain true to my name and my surname. I am Yue Qianchou. Is there a problem?" Now that his identity had been exposed, there was no need to wear the human skin mask anymore.
All eyes turned to Nong Zhu. They all knew that when Nong Zhu's disciple Ziyi was in the Huaxia Cultivation World, she was hanging out with this Yue Qianchou. No wonder Nong Zhu would stay with a mere Nascent Soul Realm; it turned out they were old acquaintances.
Yan Ji chuckled coldly, "Yue Qianchou, you must be familiar with Yan Cheng and Yan Fang, right? They are my disciples. What's the problem? I was just worried about not being able to go to the Huaxia Cultivation World to settle accounts with you, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my door. It couldn't be better."
Yue Qianchou immediately understood. It turned out to be the master of those two dead men. This was a big problem; it seemed he needed to prepare to make his escape. He nodded slightly and said, "I understand what you mean. Your two disciples fought me and died at my hands. Today you just happened to run into me, so the disciples couldn't handle it, so the master stepped in—is that what you mean?"
"Kid, you think you can outwit me with your sharp tongue? You think I'll let you go?" Yan Ji's body emanated a faint killing intent as he coldly snorted, "Today I'll bully the weak this time, and you won't leave here alive."
"Yan Ji, don't be impulsive, let's talk this out." Nong Zhu cupped her hands and advised, "He's just a junior, why should you take action against him? It would only embarrass you if word got out!"
"Nong Zhu, what do you mean? Do you want to help this kid stop me?" Yan Ji squinted and whispered.
Huo Zongming also slowly stepped forward and said, "Nong Zhu, friendship is friendship, but this kid is from the Huaxia Cultivation World. You promised not to interfere in the affairs of the Huaxia Cultivation World. Are you going to go back on your word today? I think we should let Yan Ji handle this matter himself! You and I should not interfere."
