921: Chapter 921 Can’t Avoid You Guys Anymore 921: Chapter 921 Can’t Avoid You Guys Anymore A while later, having caught on to the situation, Qian Feng, Qian Ying, and Qian Xue stord back into the inn, only to find no trace of Gu Fan.
They grabbed a martial arts practitioner and demanded, “Where did that person go just now?”
The practitioner hurriedly answered, “He ran away, he’s already gone.”
Hearing this, Qian Feng furrowed her brows.
“That guy certainly has issues, the only reason he kept his eyes closed was that he knew about your special skill, Qian Ying!”
Qian Ying was perplexed.
“But who exactly is he, and why does he know about my abilities?
I’ve never seen him before.”
“No matter who he is, judging by his appearance and aura, he appears to be just an ordinary person, likely not a threat.” Although Qian Xue said this, she felt a vague unease.
At that mont, Gu Fan had already made a run for another inn and quickly booked a room, then stayed behind closed doors.
The recent turn of events had been truly harrowing, and if he had left a strong impression on Qian Feng back in ancient tis, it could potentially affect the future.
As Gu Fan contemplated how to make a safe getaway, he heard noises outside his room followed by a familiar voice.
My goodness, it was Qian Feng and the others; they had also checked into the sa inn.
Talk about a narrow escape!
“No way, big brother, big sister, this isn’t fair play at all, not fun whatsoever.” Gu Fan shook his head and wryly smiled.
He was now contemplating whether he should wait until everyone was sound asleep to make his escape.
“Maybe I should escape through the window.” Gu Fan pushed the window open, only to see several martial artists with masked faces, wielding weapons, and striding down the street with a commanding presence.
This sparked an idea in Gu Fan, who called for the waiter and gave him so silver, asking him to fetch similar attire, weapons, and a mask.
Afterward, the waiter returned with the requested items following Gu Fan’s instructions, and upon putting them on, Gu Fan imdiately felt like a gallant hero with the deanor of a martial arts noble.
Gu Fan couldn’t help but say, “If I really were in ancient tis, perhaps I would be a revered martial arts master, the kind everyone looks up to.”
The waiter, overhearing this, was puzzled.
What did he an?
What was this talk of ancient tis?
The next day, clothed and ready, Gu Fan stepped out of his room, headed to the accountant to settle his bill, hoping to leave smoothly.
Unfortunately, Qian Feng, Qian Ying, and Qian Xue were also there to check out, causing Gu Fan’s heart rate to spike in alarm.
Yet, with his mask and disguised appearance, he believed the individuals of Shennv Xuanhui wouldn’t recognize him.
Qian Feng and Qian Ying just glanced at Gu Fan without much attention.
Many martial artists liked to wear masks to conceal their identities, as so ventured into the martial arts world without their families’ knowledge, not wanting their identities to be disclosed.
Having gone unnoticed, Gu Fan bid farewell, but he had only walked a few steps when that familiar figure made Qian Ying frown and call out to Gu Fan once more, “Wait, the one with the mask.”
Hearing this, Gu Fan stiffened.
He did not quicken his pace, for doing so would only raise further suspicion from Qian Feng and the others, and Gu Fan was well aware of Qian Feng’s capabilities—escaping was not an option.
Learning from the previous encounter, Gu Fan imdiately turned around, feigning a forthright manner, lowered his voice, and countered with a question, “Madam has called upon ; may I know what for?
If there is nothing of importance, I am pressed for ti.”
“You, have we t before?” Qian Ying stepped forward, sizing him up as if determined to have a good look.
Unfortunately, Gu Fan was wearing a mask, with only his eyes exposed, and yesterday he had not let Qian Ying see his eyes, so he was safe.
Gu Fan let out a dismissive snort, “The lady is joking.
If I had t soone as beautiful as you, I would definitely rember.
But, unfortunately, we have not t before.”
Qian Ying frowned, feeling that the man’s voice had been deliberately altered, which made her suspicious.
After she got closer and compared their heights, she noticed that the masked man before her was about the sa height as the one from yesterday.
Was this a coincidence?
“Oh, is that so?” After speaking, Qian Ying boldly tried to remove Gu Fan’s mask, but he dodged her attempt.
Gu Fan then feigned an annoyed and embarrassed expression, “Miss, please conduct yourself with dignity.”
“What’s the matter?” Qian Ying reached for Gu Fan’s hand but was avoided again, “Miss, n and won should not touch each other inappropriately.
In front of this large assembly, such pulling and dragging is indecent.”
Qian Ying frowned again, convinced there was sothing off about the masked man, but after Gu Fan’s words, the surrounding crowd that was unaware of the truth and rely curious, all looked over, making the scene extrely awkward.
“Miss, I am a married man, please conduct yourself with dignity.” After saying that, Gu Fan made a gesture of cupped hands and then left indignantly.
The onlooking crowd praised him in admiration, ‘What a righteous man,’ and then looked at Qian Ying with disdain, ‘What a shaless woman.’
Qian Ying wanted to chase after him, but Qian Feng called out to her, “Enough, stop making a scene.
Do you think you haven’t embarrassed yourself enough?”
With no other choice, Qian Ying had to give up.
When she returned to the inn, she saw the waiter carrying a pile of clothes to the back courtyard.
Qian Ying frowned and imdiately stopped the waiter, “Hold on, what are you holding in your hand?”
“Clothes, sir.
A guest didn’t want them anymore, so I am disposing of them.” The waiter was bewildered as to why Qian Ying was interested in these old clothes.
“Let see them?” Qian Ying took the pile of clothes and looked at them, her expression changing dramatically.
Weren’t these the clothes of the man from yesterday?
Qian Feng and Qian Xue also took notice and frowned deeply, then they asked the waiter about the guest who previously wore those clothes.
The waiter shared details about helping the guest buy clothes, weapons, and a mask.
After hearing this, Qian Ying couldn’t help but sigh, “Good heavens, I wonder why the back and height of this person seed so familiar.
So it was that guy?
And he managed to slip away right under our noses again.”
“He wasn’t wearing a mask yesterday, but today he is.
Knowing we’re staying in the sa inn, he changed his appearance, obviously to avoid us.
Who on earth is this guy?” Qian Feng tried to recall anyone she had t in the past, but no one ca to mind who matched Gu Fan.
Damn it, the man had kept his eyes closed yesterday, so they couldn’t get a clear look at his entire face, but this ti they had seen his eyes.
Qian Xue beca sowhat anxious, “What do we do, elder sister?
Should we investigate this man’s background?”
Qian Feng thought deeply and then shook her head, “We’ll deal with Qian Ye first.
We still don’t know the situation with Qian Ye, and even if she is at fault, she is for the Shennv Xuanhui to deal with.
We will not allow others to lay a finger on her.”
“All right, elder sister,” Qian Ying and Qian Xue complied outwardly, while inwardly wondering whether Qian Feng was intending to punish Qian Ye or save her.
