Chapter 113: A Good Standard Pretty Boy

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

An adopted husband? A child groom?

Liu Yuan, who was standing behind Duan Lanruo, widened his eyes. This identity was extremely embarrassing!

If he was a child groom, then his intimate relationship with Duan Lanruo could be perfectly explained. Moreover, Shen Sifan had an upright personality, so she absolutely loathed this kind of rotten relationship that only mortals would have because she felt disgusted her his heart.

Furthermore, if she were to separate Liu Yuan from Jiang Feng, it would only raise suspicions in her heart. She would most likely not get close to Jiang Feng, who was suspected to be the City Lord’s captive.

The City Lord was indeed the City Lord. She actually managed to weave an absolutely logical excuse in an instant.

But at this moment, all of this was built on the logic that made Shen Sifan believe that ‘Jiang Feng and Liu Yuan were not the same person’.

He needed to cooperate with Duan Lanruo and cover up this identity!

Liu Yuan stood behind Ah Yue, his thoughts spinning. He coughed twice and weakly smiled, “Senior Swordsman, I don’t know you. Your cultivation is so high, so your husband must be a Nascent Soul or Soul Formation senior. I’m only in the Foundation Establishment stage, and I’m supported by the City Lord. These spots of light must have run to the wrong place…”

The most important thing now was that Liu Yuan’s current cultivation was no longer at the Soul Formation stage when he met Shen Sifan. He was at the Foundation Establishment stage after unequipping his cards!

This was definitely not fake!

So this was where Shen Sifan’s greatest sense of separation lay!

Duan Lanruo naturally understood Liu Yuan’s words. Although she did not know what was going on with this enemy’s cultivation, he was indeed only at the Foundation Establishment stage. The City Lord looked at the stunned Chen Si fan and said with a serious expression, “I watched little Feng grow up, how could I not know what he’s been through? He came all the way from the southeast of Central Plains, and grew up in a small town in the southeast area. He’s just a Young Master from a noble and innocent family, a mortal Young Master.”

Liu Yuan felt a little strange. He felt that his character was getting weirder and weirder.

What was this?

He was a handsome Young Master from a mortal family. When he was young, the City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords took a fancy to his appearance and aptitude, and then gave him resources to cultivate. He then took advantage of the Tideviewing and Sword-listening event to come to the city.

As long as he could stand out in the Singing Sword Meet, then go through the back door, he would not need to get a good ranking in the event. He just needed to have a bit of ability, and he would be able to easily reach the upper echelons of the City of Ten Thousand Swords and secretly make connections with the City Lord.

What a standard pretty boy!

Damn it, I give up!

Liu Yuan secretly complained, but Duan Lanruo’s expression did not change as she continued, “I heard that you went to the southeast to look for someone. After the battle with Cui Ting, you came here. I think the person you’re looking for met Little Feng on the way and used some spell to fix his aura on Little Feng to mislead you.”

Shen Sifan looked a little hesitant as she looked at Liu Yuan. She saw that the young man was indeed handsome and had an androgynous style (previously transformed Zhiying). Coupled with his timid behavior and the chaotic scene she had just seen, she doubted her judgment for a moment.

The City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords… Her self-destructive words about having a child groom were not something that could casually be used as an excuse, right?

On the surface, she was a woman who had been a widow for many years, and was extremely dignified in the City of Ten Thousand Swords. She did not expect that she would be so unsightly in secret. Once this matter was spread, it would probably be a huge blow to the entire city.

Shen Sifan looked at the remaining light spots on her sword. Her heart wavered, and she gritted his teeth. “My spell can’t be wrong…”

Duan Lanruo sighed. “I see that you’re also a poor girl that’s heartbroken. You must have been deceived by that Liu Junxuan you mentioned. You’re angry, so you came out of seclusion early, right? ”

Poor Shen Sifan,”….”

She pursed her lips and fell silent.

Duan Lanruo observed her expression and continued, “Can you guarantee that your spell technique will not make any mistakes?”

In reality, most tracking spell techniques would have a certain probability of success, and they definitely would not be 100 percent accurate. Asking this question would be like getting something for nothing.

It was a psychological hint.

It had to be said that the older the ginger, the spicier it was. With just a few words, Duan Lanruo had completely stabilized the situation and controlled the rhythm.

Of course, Shen Sifan could not guarantee it…

Although she was unwilling, she had to admit that she had indeed been deceived… She was using the aura from the substitute talisman.

A substitute talisman had tricked her into leaving for a few days.

Green Lotus Swordsman’s pupils shrank. She was both shocked and angry. Could this be a series of scams?

After using the substitute talisman to deceive her, he guessed that she would use the substitute talisman to make a fuss, and then took advantage of the situation to lead her to another target, making her waste a lot of time and attention?

In fact, Liu Yuan, who was on tenterhooks in front of her, expressed that he did not think that way at all… He was good at observing people’s emotions and was not good at scheming at all.

Duan Lanruo played her last card. “Why don’t you confront my Little Feng face to face? You can check if he is your Liu Junxuan.”

The City Lord turned her body and voluntarily gave up her position. She released her hand and made a concession. With a warning tone, she said seriously, “Let’s make this clear first. You can’t take your anger out on him and harm him. In the future, he will be the young City Lord of our City of Ten Thousand Swords.”

Duan Lanruo turned around and walked toward Liu Yuan. She hugged him and buried him in her chest. She coaxed him like she was talking to a child, “Little Feng, don’t be afraid. Let her take a good look at you. You are my good child, not her husband.”

Liu Yuan, “…”

What’s with this pretty boy’s character setting?

Shen Sifan knew that as long as she took a few more steps forward, she would be able to clearly sense if this young man…

However, was this trash who was willing to be held in a woman’s arms as her godson, and this wastrel who had sex with two other women in a brothel really her Liu Junxuan?

As for the City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords… As her brother had said, when the power of Immortal cultivators was combined with the power of mortals, it would turn into mud.

The upright Green Lotus Swordsman walked forward, but her outstretched hand stopped in mid-air. She looked at the creases on Liu Yuan’s clothes and recalled the scene of the secret guard half-kneeling in front of him. A trace of disgust flashed across her face. She turned around and kept her sword. “Forget it, I misunderstood.”

Shen Sifan took a deep breath. “I won’t tell anyone about this. I can guarantee it with the reputation of the Green Lotus Swordsman. Please rest assured, City Lord. I will also compensate for all the destroyed items.”

The light spots on Liu Yuan’s body were slowly dissipating, and his shallow Foundation Establishment cultivation was even more obvious. He had deliberately changed his cultivation technique to a beginner’s cultivation technique. The spirit power aura on his body was mixed with the five elements, and one look and you could tell that he was a standard itinerant cultivator.

Shen Sifan’s last trace of anticipation was wiped away.

Duan Lanruo hugged Liu Yuan and smiled. “Forget it, it’s all a misunderstanding. Swordsman, you can go out from the back door, but remember not to attract attention. Next time, you have to be more careful and not mistake people for the wrong person. Women are easily impulsive for love, but don’t be blind. This is a little advice from me.”

Shen Sifan had gone from anger to disappointment. For some reason, she was extremely irritated by this scene of ‘a loving mother and a filial son’. She felt very tired and took her leave after thanking the City Lord.

The room was silent for a while.

“Pfft.”

Duan Lanruo suddenly hugged Liu Yuan and laughed. She blinked her eyes and said, “She’s a cute kid,”

Liu Yuan, “…”
