"Young Hero Liang? What does this an?" The impostor posing as Zhang Feng still didn’t realize that he had been exposed, continuing to show off his acting skills, looking puzzled along with Su Youyi at Liang Yi.
"Sorry, I am too tired; I just realized I might have picked up the wrong jade tube." Liang Yi scratched his head awkwardly with his other hand, yet his grip on the jade tube did not loosen.
"Ah, I thought it was sothing serious!" The fake relaxed his hold on the jade tube, not bothering to ponder whether Liang Yi’s words were true or not.
"I’m sorry, Supervisor Zhang, my older disciple brother is indeed careless; please accept my apologies on his behalf," said Su Youyi, bowing her head weakly.
"No worries, everyone has monts of inattentiveness," the impostor said generously with a wave of his hand, without any concern.
At that mont, Liang Yi had cald his emotions, and silently took out another blank jade tube that he had bought previously from the Wind God Comrce and engraved a few casual phrases imitating Lv Cheng’s tone into it.
In his previous life, Liang Yi had several interactions with Lv Cheng; imitating his tone was a trivial matter.
Liang Yi recognized there was an elent of gambling in his actions, but he trusted his luck, betting that the fake wasn’t familiar with Lv Cheng or aware of what Lv Cheng wanted with Zhang Feng this ti.
Sure enough, after the impostor examined the content inside the jade tube, he put it away.
It definitely resembled the way Lv Cheng usually spoke, although it was odd why Lv Cheng would send such useless words, the impostor chose not to delve into it deeper for now, focusing on sending away the two individuals in front of him to report the news of Liang Yi being alive to his organization.
Liang Yi glanced outside the window; it was dusk, the soft evening sun casting its glow over the little-not-so-famous city, with many vendors choosing to head ho for dinner before setting up their stalls again at night.
With a regretful smile, Liang Yi cupped his hands towards "Zhang Feng": "It was a pleasure eting Supervisor Zhang today, unfortunately, my younger sister-disciple and I have urgent matters to attend to and must take our leave. We shall et another day."
Beside him, Su Youyi seed distracted, as though she had sothing on her mind, but she too bid farewell to "Zhang Feng".
"I share the sa sentint as Young Hero Liang; however, I believe we will et again soon."
"Zhang Feng" gave Liang Yi and Su Youyi a aningful look.
"Yes, we will et again."
After saying that, Liang Yi left the room with Su Youyi, leaving Zhang Feng alone with an indescribable expression.
······
As they walked on the street, Liang Yi gave Su Youyi a knowing glance, and she nodded in response.
After using Divine Sense to check that no one was following them, they casually chose a teahouse and sat in a quiet corner on the second floor.
"Brother, was there a problem just now?" Su Youyi couldn’t wait to ask as soon as she sat down.
"Yes, that Zhang Feng was fake." Liang Yi took a sip of the tea and looked out the window at the busy crowd.
"I knew it! Brother, your actions were sowhat strange just now; I am indeed the one who understands you best," Su Youyi looked at her older disciple-brother sowhat proudly, having sensed that sothing was off when Liang Yi’s deanor changed.
"Haha, you sly little thing," Liang Yi chuckled.
"What should we do next?" Su Youyi asked excitedly, was she about to unravel a major conspiracy with her senior brother? When she becos famous, every ti people talk about Liang Yi, they will ntion her too. Just thinking about it makes her a bit shy~
Liang Yi didn’t know what his silly junior sister was daydreaming about, but he still explained to her:
"Let’s stay here and observe the situation first, see whether Zhang Feng has been kidnapped or is already dead. That imposter from earlier is at least at the Fourth Realm, and we cannot confront him directly."
Liang Yi held his teacup; the reason he didn’t expose the imposter right away was due to lack of strength. Normally, the managers of the Little Bamboo House range from the peak of the Third Realm to the peak of the Fourth Realm, and Lv Cheng is an exception. So, the one who subdued Zhang Feng, that imposter, must also be at least at the Fourth Realm, and we don’t know if he has accomplices.
Liang Yi put down his teacup and rubbed his head with a headache. He had never heard of such a situation in his previous life—a city’s head being impersonated is not a small matter, and he hadn’t heard of any disturbances in the Little Bamboo House either.
On his part, him at Level 15 and his junior sister at Level 39, going head-to-head with a monster that’s at least Level 41! And they still didn’t know whether this monster could summon minions.
If this quest’s Experience reward wasn’t decent, he would have given up long ago.
Most importantly, he wanted Lv Cheng to successfully overthrow that elder and gain certain rights in the Little Bamboo House, so that he would owe him a big favor and be able to do many things in the future.
Actually, there was a simpler way. The quest only required him to deliver the jade tube to Zhang Feng, he didn’t necessarily have to clash with that imposter, he could just find Zhang Feng, hand over the jade tube, and leave. But this way, Lv Cheng would definitely not be able to topple that elder.
"Senior brother, should we ask for help?" Su Youyi saw her senior brother looking distressed, and she truly felt sorry for him.
"Help? Where can we find help in this small place like Qingfeng City? Should we go to West Capital to inform the person in charge of the Little Bamboo House over there?" Liang Yi said weakly, truly worried as he was lacking in strength.
"No, senior brother, I just saw the Chief of He Zhiqing!" Su Youyi got up and sat next to Liang Yi, pointing at a figure with his back facing them on the first floor.
"He Zhiqing?" Liang Yi followed Su Youyi’s slender jade-like finger, and indeed saw a Taoist priest talking with the teahouse shopkeeper downstairs.
"Heavens must be helping us! Junior sister, you’re aweso!" Liang Yi stood up excitedly, picked up Su Youyi and spun her around. His Luck value must be at full because he had such a junior sister, right?
Su Youyi: "o(￣ヘ￣o#)" Why only a hug, I want kisses and to be lifted high.
Liang Yi set down Su Youyi and was ready to go downstairs to ask He Zhiqing for help, while also searching his mory for information about him from his previous life.
He Zhiqing, the Chief of Complete Heaven Sect, recognized in his previous life as the top young contender, both in terms of strength and looks, incredibly handso to both n and won. When Liang Yi transmigrated, he was already at the peak of the Seventh Realm, Great Cultivator, considered most likely to defeat the "Crimson Jade Demon Eye". Known for being humble, courteous, and willing to help others, he had an excellent reputation.
Players’ favorite thing to do was to ask him for quests; anyone who got to et him could almost always get a quest from him, and the rewards were quite generous.
Liang Yi, in his previous life, also received many experience-rewarding quests from him when he was desperately short of Experience.
Although he didn’t know why He Zhiqing was here, it didn’t stop Liang Yi from seeking help from this famously "nice guy." Although his own Level was low, and He Zhiqing wasn’t fighting, it wasn’t clear what Level He Zhiqing was currently at.
But since junior sister said he was help, then He Zhiqing must at least be a Fourth Realm expert. A Fourth Realm expert who is a chief in a Super Force, tsk tsk, that’s really sothing formidable.
