Chapter 699 Journey to the Mountains and Seas 7
"Don't chase after them. You won't be able to beat them even if you catch up now," Wen Piaoran said, stopping Xiao Qiushui from following.
She wasn't unable to stop him just now; it's just that she didn't have a deep-seated grudge against Liu Suifeng, and she didn't want to fight now.
Xiao Qiushui retreated to the stool and sat down, slamming her hand on the stone table: "The people from the Power Gang are truly despicable. They actually impersonated Feng Lang to deceive me."
"Have a cup of tea to calm down." Wen Piaoran picked up the kettle and cup she had just caught and poured him a cup of tea.
The Power Gang will be coming to their door tomorrow, and Xiao Qiushui and Liu Suifeng will see them soon. They don't need to rush into a fight.
She exposed Liu Suifeng's identity, so the Power Gang had no choice but to openly steal the Hero's Token.
Xiao Qiushui suddenly thought: "Is Liu Suifeng holding a grudge against you for what he just said? Is he going to get revenge for you exposing him?"
"It's alright, he can't kill me," Wen Piaoran said casually.
Xiao Qiushui suddenly jolted awake and stood up: "Oh dear, I mentioned to him that I wanted to ask Qingyun Sect for help. Could he guess your identity?"
"You trust this 'Feng Lang' quite a bit, don't you?" Wen Piaoran thought that he really needed more experience.
"Sigh, it's all my fault for being too naive and trusting." Xiao Qiushui is now beginning to realize that things in the martial arts world are not as simple as she imagined.

Meanwhile, Liu Suifeng used his lightness skill to leave the Huanhua Sword Sect and only stopped when he reached a secluded place.
He thought about how the original plan was about to begin, but it had been ruined at the last minute, and his hands behind his back clenched slightly.
"Young Master?" Song Mingzhu appeared behind him, somewhat puzzled that he had been summoned during the day.
“The plan has changed. I can no longer use the identity I was impersonating. Did the person you asked to investigate find out my identity?” Liu Suifeng said without turning his head.
"...They're still investigating. Was it Ning Qi who ruined Young Master's plans?"
The only unexpected person she could think of was this person, who might be the one to ruin their plans.
"You've failed to do your job properly!" With that, Liu Suifeng slightly turned his body and unleashed a palm strike, his inner force transforming into a palm wind.
It's incredibly frustrating to have something go wrong suddenly, and not even be able to find out who it is.
Song Mingzhu didn't dare to dodge and took the hit head-on, flying backward.
She endured the pain, got up, walked over, and knelt down, clutching her chest: "Please forgive me, sir."
Liu Suifeng flicked his sleeves and ordered, "Continue the investigation. The plan to besiege the Huanhua Sword Sect tomorrow remains unchanged. Go and transfer more people."
"Yes, I'll take care of it right away." Song Mingzhu stood up and turned to leave.

The following day, the Power Gang, citing the murder of Fu Tianyi, the Iron-Fisted Demon of the Huanhua Sword Sect by Xiao Qiushui, led a group to besiege the Xiao family.
Xiao Qiushui received a system notification in advance, and before going to her parents to confess, she went to see Wen Piaoran first.
What the two discussed is unknown to others, but it is known that Wen Piaoran never appeared in public again after that, and instead left the Xiao family.
Wen Piaoran was on the road at this moment, holding a letter in her hand in the carriage. It was a list of people in the sect who had been turned by Yunshang.
As for how to handle it, that's up to her to decide.
"Xiao Qi, how's Amu doing?"
"Host, Amu is proceeding as you instructed. Sword King is temporarily unable to attend to the Hero's Token matter because his forces have been continuously eliminated."
"Alright, consider this a lesson for him." Wen Piaoran picked up the brush on the table, dipped it in ink, and began to write a reply to Yunshang on the paper.
Whether Zhu Datianwang is being overly cautious or their leader has infiltrated the Huanhua Sword Sect, they haven't yet taken action against the Qingyun Sect.
Yunshang's side is still being watched, so we'll leave them alone for now as they haven't made a move.
The affairs of the Huanhua Sword Sect are still in turmoil, so Wen Piaoran plans to find a quiet place to stay for the time being.
As for Xiao Qiushui, she only agreed to help him depending on the situation.
Wen Piaoran put down his pen, folded the letter, and a puppet appeared out of thin air inside the carriage. It took the letter, got off the carriage, and left.
She had just reached out to pick up a pastry when she suddenly paused, then put it in her mouth and took a bite.
The moment she took a bite of the pastry, Wen Piaoran waved her hand and lifted the carriage curtain, and an invisible internal force poured out from inside the carriage.
At the same time, the leaves on the roadside began to rustle, and countless leaves instantly transformed into sharp blades, shooting off in different directions.
Before a group of men in black could react, their throats were slit by leaves in the bushes by the roadside.
Several who had escaped the net picked up their weapons and charged toward the carriage.
The puppets driving the carriage outside took weapons and went to deal with these people.
There weren't many assassins, and the puppet quickly returned to continue driving the carriage. Wen Piaoran picked up a storybook and started reading.
After thinking about it, she couldn't help but complain, "Liu Suifeng is quite vengeful; he came to take revenge so quickly."
She holds a grudge and will try to sabotage him again next time she gets the chance.
Xiao Qi asked in confusion, "Host, if he's retaliating against you, why did he only send so few people?"
"He couldn't find out my identity, partly because he wanted to test my strength, and partly because most of their manpower was besieging the Xiao family."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi looked enlightened: "So that's how it is. But host, you've been targeted ever since you left the Xiao family."
"I didn't intend to hide my whereabouts. I don't plan to openly help the Xiao family. It's good to leave now."
There are plenty of people watching the Xiao family's neighborhood right now. If I leave now, they'll probably think I'm afraid of causing trouble, and that no one will care.
"Host, didn't you promise to help Xiao Qiushui? What kind of demands will he make?"
Wen Piaoran didn't need to think much to know: "It's probably about saving his parents' lives. That's the easiest thing to do. I've already reminded him to prepare."
She had agreed with Xiao Qiushui that he would be in the open, while Qingyun Sect would remain in the shadows. They could not be allies in the open, otherwise she would face constant scheming.
Anyone who is close to the male lead will suffer or be dealt with by the villain. Although no one can get rid of her, she doesn't want to be constantly watched.
Many people in the Qingyun Sect have been turned against them and have already been targeted by the villains.
She wanted to take things slowly this time and didn't want to be too high-profile; otherwise, she could have easily taken her people and dealt with all the villains.
But I always felt this was pointless, and since I didn't have any deep-seated hatred, I just watched the show.
Xiao Qi noticed her mood and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Host, are you a little tired? We've been traveling between different worlds."
"I just feel that I can hardly feel great joy or sorrow anymore, and my emotions are becoming more and more indifferent. As long as it's not troublesome, it seems that it's all about the same."
"It's lonely at the top. The host has reached a great height and seen too many things, so this change in mentality is normal."
Upon hearing this, Wen Piaoran looked out the car window at the scenery outside, her expression somewhat dazed. She knew everything Xiao Qi had said, but she didn't know where her end was.
