Chapter 9: Shangguan Feiyan

  On the ground, there was already a big hole over one zhang wide and two chi deep. Li Yunfei and Lu Xiaofeng were both covered in sweat.

  "I should be drinking good wine now, but instead I'm like a mouse digging holes. Isn't that just too pitiful?"

  Li Yunfei smiled and said: "With me accompanying Little Feng, you shouldn't be too pitiful, right?"

  At this time, Lu Xiaofeng struck down with his hoe and suddenly saw a piece of bright red clothing in the ground.

  Lu Xiaofeng exerted himself, put down the hoe, picked up the shovel and started digging. After a few digs, he dug out the buried corpse.

  Xue Er let out a cry of surprise, her hands shaking uncontrollably, looking very shocked.

  Lu Xiaofeng was also stunned, because this corpse was not Shangguan Feiyan's, but Shangguan Danfeng's.

  Li Yunfei used to not believe that a corpse could be preserved for as long as a month, but now looking at the lifelike corpse, he felt an inexplicable sense of eeriness in his heart.

  Lu Xiaofeng looked at the corpse of Shangguan Danfeng, sighed and bent down to touch the body. Then he stood up and said: "Yun Fei, look at this corpse, it's cold and hard like steel. It must have been poisoned."

  "Whose corpse is this? When did he die?"

  Li Yunfei said: "This is the corpse of Shang Guan Danfeng. It seems that she was murdered a long time ago."

  Lu Xiaofeng continued, "Yes, this Shang Guan Danfeng was poisoned to death. The corpse is still intact and the soil in this area has not been disturbed for a month or two. It seems that she died at least one or two months ago."

  Hua Man Lou said: "A month or two ago, he hadn't even seen us yet? Then who was the Upper Official Dan Feng we saw?"

  Li Yunfei hastily asked: "Xue'er, have you seen your sister and Shangguan Danfeng appear together in the past two months?"

  Xue Er shook her head and said, "It seems like there isn't."

  Lu Xiaofeng also asked: "In these two months, have you found that her attitude towards you is somewhat inappropriate?"

  Xue Er thought for a long time, shook her head and said: "It seems to be, before she saw me always had something to say and laugh, but recently she's been avoiding me."

  Li Yunfei sighed and said: "Because she is no longer the real Shangguan Danfeng, she's afraid of being recognized by you."

  Xue Er furrowed her brow and asked: "Then who is she impersonating? How can she pretend so similarly?"

  Li Yunfei smiled and didn't say anything.

  Lu Xiaofeng looked at Li Yunfei and said: "Xue'er, can't you guess who it is?"

  Xue Er stared and said: "Do you think that fake Shangguan Danfeng is my sister's impersonation? This Shangguan Danfeng was killed by my sister?"

  Li Yunfei said: "If it wasn't for her, who else could have cheated you?"

  Xue Er's face was full of disbelief, she asked: "Lu Xiao Feng, what evidence do you have that my sister wants to kill her?"

  Lu Xiaofeng didn't say anything, probably because he didn't want to.

  He suddenly squatted down and began to remove the boots from the corpse.

  Xue Er shouted: "Are you crazy? What are you doing?"

  Li Yunfeng patted Xue Er's head and said: "He is doing an autopsy, he wants to know the characteristics of the Golden Peng Wang tribe."

  When Li Yunfei was speaking, Lu Xiaofeng had already taken off Shangguan Danfeng's shoes, and indeed there were six toes on a pair of very slender feet.

  Xue Er suddenly calmed down and said: "She is indeed Shangguan Danfeng."

  Li Yunfei asked: "How did you know what I said?"

  Xue Er said: "She never lets others see her feet, sometimes when we all go to the river to play with water, only she doesn't want to. The more she doesn't let me see, the more I want to see, one time, I rushed in when she was taking a bath"

  Li Yunfei laughed and said: "You little demon, you dare to do anything."

  Lu Xiaofeng asked: "When was your uncle's foot cut off?"

  Xue Er said: "When was his foot cut off? I saw him yesterday and he was fine."

  The three heard Xue Er's reply. They looked at each other and rushed to the bedroom of Da Jin Peng Wang.

  The corridor was gloomy and quiet, with the door closed. Lu Xiaofeng knocked on the door. There was no response.

  At this time, Hua Manlou said: "There is no sound of breathing inside the door, and there is a bloody smell."

  Li Yunfei kicked the door open with one foot. Da Jinping lay on the bed, his breathing had long stopped, and his eyes were filled with a look of terror and anger, as if he couldn't believe that the person who killed him could be so ruthless.

  His face was completely expressionless, and compared with his eyes full of horror and anger, it looked terrifying and mysterious.

  Li Yunfei said softly: "He has disguised himself, obviously he is not the real Dajin Peng Wang. It seems that the real Dajin Peng Wang and his daughter are both dead."

  Suddenly a sword wind pierced in from the window behind. The momentum was extremely urgent. Li Yunfei could tell from the sound of the sword wind that this person was an expert. He drew his sword and countered with one stroke, blocking the incoming sword.

  Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said, "Liu Yuhuan, you shouldn't have come. Why must you seek death? Among the three of us, who can you kill? This matter is not something you can control."

  The window indeed transmitted Liu Yuhen's voice: "But I've already come."

  His sword was faster than sound, and he and his sword flew in at the same time. The sword stabbed towards Lu Xiaofeng.

  Li Yunfei and Hua Manlou did not make a move, they believed in Lu Xiaofeng. How could Liu Yuhuan be Lu Xiaofeng's opponent?

  Li Yunfei looked at Liu Yuheng's sword, his sword was very fast, and in an instant he stabbed out seventeen swords. Li Yunfei only then knew that he had underestimated Liu Yuheng.

  In his past life, his kung fu wasn't very good. He hadn't seen much of the world either. In this life, his path has been very smooth. So, he's become a bit arrogant. This is to be expected. It's only been a year and his kung fu is already stronger than in his past life. He's reached the realm of a top-notch master. He's very proud of himself. He thinks that in this world of Luk Siu Fung, those who are stronger than him are just those absolute top masters. But today, he saw that even Long Tou Liu Yu Hen is slightly weaker than him, let alone those absolute top masters.

  Just as Li Yunfei was reflecting on himself, the sword of Liu Yuheng had already been clamped by Lu Xiaofeng. Li Yunfei's heart shook: So fast. He couldn't help but praise Lu Xiaofeng's fingers. He simply stretched out two fingers and clamped down, no one could describe the swiftness and dexterity of this action, nor could anyone imagine it.

  "Leave! I don't want to kill you."

  The iron ball came crashing down towards Lu Xiaofeng with a loud whistling sound, and if he didn't let go, his skull would be smashed flat.

  He also had a hand, when the iron ball struck down, this hand of his slanted and drew a stroke, Liu Yu's left arm drooped: "If I let go of my hand, will you leave?"

  Liu Youhen suddenly burst out laughing coldly, his laughter filled with contempt, contempt for Lu Xiaofeng, and contempt for his own life.

  Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said with a bitter smile: "Why do I always have to meet such foolish people, why..."

  He didn't finish his sentence because at that moment he had already heard someone's voice.

  This voice was originally the voice of Shangguan Danfeng, but now he knew that Shangguan Danfeng would never appear again.

  The last rays of the setting sun had disappeared, and the room was even darker. A person suddenly appeared like a ghost, now at the door, an extremely beautiful woman, so gentle and sweet.

  She gazed at Lu Xiaofeng and smiled: "Because you yourself are also a foolish person, foolish people always often meet together."

  Li Yunfei had never seen this woman before, but he already knew who she was. He softly said: "Shangguan Feiyan?"

  "Yes." She smiled like a naive little girl: "Do you think I'm prettier than Shangguan Danfeng?"

  Li Yunfei nodded, he couldn't help but admit it. Even in today's society, among the beauties he had seen, there were only a few who could be mentioned in the same breath as her.

  This girl is so beautiful that she almost approaches every man's dream. Not only does she smile, but also pure and innocent, when she sees you, it's as if she has already taken you as the only man in her world, making you feel like she's the only woman for you.

  Lu Xiaofeng suddenly sighed: "You're wrong!"

  Shangguan Feiyan said: "I was wrong?"

  Lü Xiao Feng said: "A beautiful woman like you shouldn't disguise herself as someone else for any reason."

  Shangguan Feiyan blinked and said: "If you had seen my true face that night, would you have let me go?"

  "If you had shown me your true face earlier, I might not have waited until that night."

  Shangguan Feiyan said: "It's hard to say in the carriage, you want...?"

  Lu Xiaofeng said: "I've said it before, I'm a person who can't resist temptation."

  Shangguan Feiyan smiled and said: "Although you are not a gentleman, what you say is quite honest."

  Lu Xiaofeng said: "You are not only not a lady, but also speak dishonestly."

  Shangguan Feiyan said with a smile: "If a girl is too honest, she can't help but be deceived by men like you."

  Her voice has also changed, as if it had completely become someone else speaking.

  Luk Siu-fung said: "Your sudden change of voice is even more unthinkable than a disguise. How did you manage it?"

  Li Yunfei smiled and looked at Lu Xiaofeng, saying: "Disguise techniques are even more mysterious to me. Many people can imitate others' voices, which is nothing special. I've heard of ventriloquism before, where one person can change their voice to mimic various sounds, or even many people's voices, which is no big deal."

  Luk Siu-fung couldn't understand the art of disguise, but he had seen people who were said to be close to legendary figures. However, he couldn't comprehend how a person's voice could change into another person's.

  Shangguan Feiyan smiled and said: "Is my voice also more pleasant than Shangguan Danfeng's?"

  Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and didn't say a word. Li Yunfei knew that Lu Xiaofeng was now very helpless and depressed.

  "Now you must have seen that I am better than her in every way, but from the moment I was born, she has been above me." Her sweet and gentle voice suddenly filled with resentment: "Since childhood, I wore the clothes she had worn, ate the leftovers she had eaten, just because she was a princess."

  "So, when you have the chance, you must prove that you are stronger than her."

  Shangguan Feiyan coldly smiled without saying a word. Her heart must be filled with hatred.

  "So as soon as your grandfather died, you didn't want to stay at home anymore."

  "No one wants to be a guest in someone else's home, looking at their face all day."

  Lu Xiaofeng said, "You originally just wanted to rely on your skills, make a name for yourself in the martial arts world, and do a few things that would make them take notice. But unexpectedly, you met a man in the martial arts world who could appreciate your true self."

  Shangguan Feiyan said coldly: "Continue."

  Lu Xiaofeng said: "He knew the secret of the Golden Phoenix Dynasty and came up with a plan for you."

  Shangguan Feiyan listened, and the sweet secret smile on her face was no longer visible.
