Chapter 103: Chapter 103 Identity Exposed
Sure enough, what I was afraid of happened.
Compared to the other gifts, the Jade Bottle seemed too shoddy.
Moreover, Wang Chengjian had deliberately placed it in a prominent position, so it was immediately noticed.
Liu Qingxian’s mind was in turmoil.
Liu Wuchen was also drawn to the Jade Bottle that Gong Caiyi picked up.
His eyelids twitched violently.
This looked like something someone had thrown away, how could it be placed among the welcome gifts?
Was this not deliberately embarrassing Gong Caiyi?
“Whose is this?” he asked angrily.
Wang Chengjian smiled.
Everything was going as he had anticipated.
In fact, the effect was even better than he had expected.
This time, Jiang Fan would not just lose face; it was going to be much worse.
He cupped his hands and said, “Master, Sect Master Gong, this is the welcome gift from our Junior Brother on Sect Master Peak, Jiang Fan.”
“Jiang Fan?”
Liu Wuchen’s eyebrows immediately shot up.
He scanned the disciples with a sharp gaze, finding no trace of Jiang Fan, and shouted, “Jiang Fan! Get over here!”
Truly, he was more trouble than he was worth!
If you were going to give a gift, either don’t give one or pick something more appropriate.
Giving a broken bottle, was that a deliberate insult?
Hiding in a corner, Jiang Fan sighed, knowing he could not escape.
He emerged from the corner, scanning the crowd, and his gaze was immediately drawn to a woman in colorful clothes.
He was instantly stunned.
Wasn’t this the woman who had tried his Beauty Cream for free by the roadside?
She had called herself Gong something Yi.
He had even refused to sell her the Beauty Cream.
She was actually the Spirit Beast Sect Master?
Jiang Fan felt bitterness in his mouth.
Was he cursed lately? How could he be so unlucky?
First, he offended a big figure, and now she had come to his place.
He must not let her recognize his face.
Jiang Fan covered his face with his sleeve and walked out cautiously, speaking in a muffled voice, “Master, Sect Master Gong.”
Uh—
Liu Wuchen frowned, “Why are you covering your face with your sleeve?”
Jiang Fan replied, “I fell and hurt my face just now, it might disturb Sect Master Gong. Please forgive me, Master and Sect Master Gong.”
“Then what’s wrong with your voice?” Liu Wuchen asked again.
Jiang Fan said, “It’s because of a cold.”
In the distance, Liu Qingxian did not know whether to cry or laugh.
He truly felt bad for Jiang Fan.
Liu Wuchen only felt that Jiang Fan had thoroughly embarrassed Sect Master Peak today. Angrily, he asked, “Do you know what a foolish thing you’ve done?”
Jiang Fan smiled bitterly.
Could you blame me?
Blame your good daughter and your senior disciple.
I’m really wronged.
Wang Chengjian sneered, waiting to see a good show.
What followed would surely be spectacular, he thought.
Unexpectedly, to his surprise—
Gong Caiyi said, “Sect Master Liu has misunderstood!”
“I really like this Beauty Cream.”
Ah?
This thing that looked so cheap, would the dignified Spirit Beast Sect Master really like it?
Liu Wuchen was stunned for a moment, then said, “Sect Master Gong, I know you are protecting this kid.”
“Don’t bother, if we don’t discipline disciples with no discernment, it will lead to trouble sooner or later.”
“Come on, take him—”
Gong Caiyi quickly raised her hand to stop him, seriously saying, “Sect Master Liu really has misunderstood!”
“This Beauty Cream is the best I’ve ever used.”
“It’s strange that none of you recognize it?”
“Why would you consider such a good thing as something worthless?”
The entire room fell into collective shock.
Everyone stared at the bottle of Beauty Cream without blinking.
This unimpressive item had received such high praise from the famously picky Gong Caiyi?
Wang Chengjian was taken aback.
He had intended to embarrass Jiang Fan.
He stepped forward and said, “Sect Master Gong, are you perhaps mistaken?”
“This is just something unworthy of notice.”
“Please do not demean yourself.”

Gong Caiyi frowned slightly and gave him a glance: “The Sect Master personally used this and has her own judgment.”
“Is it your place to instruct the Sect Master?”
Wang Chengjian was startled.
Finally realizing he had been too hasty, he hurriedly bowed and apologized while retreating.
Liu Wuchen also understood that Gong Caiyi genuinely liked this welcome gift.
He felt relieved, smiling as he patted Jiang Fan on the shoulder, “Jiang Fan, this time your gift was the most thoughtful. You will receive an additional one hundred Crystal Stones this month.”
Jiang Fan escaped a disaster, saying, “Thank you, Master.”
Liu Qingxian also breathed a sigh of relief, genuinely happy for Jiang Fan.
It seemed he was safe.
Gong Caiyi, however, curiously asked, “Jiang Fan, right? Can you tell the Sect Master where this Beauty Cream came from?”
One bottle was far from enough.
After Jiang Fan left, she found that the efficacy of the Beauty Cream still continued.
Making the skin on her hand softer, like someone in their early twenties.
Compared to the skin on the back of her hand, the difference was huge.
Such a top-grade product, she must apply it all over her body, right?
So, one bottle was nowhere near enough.
She must buy a hundred bottles!
Jiang Fan hesitated, “I, I saw some disciples selling it at the square by accident.”
“Out of curiosity, I bought one. If Sect Master Gong wants it, I can have a disciple look for it in the square, maybe they can find the person.”
Oh.
I see.
Gong Caiyi nodded slightly.
Liu Wuchen saw that the situation had calmed down, so he said at the right moment, “Sect Master Gong, please come inside.”
Gong Caiyi nodded and followed him into the main hall.
Only then did Jiang Fan let out a real sigh of relief.
So close, he almost got exposed.
He couldn’t imagine what would happen if Gong Caiyi found out he was the young man who had refused to sell her the cream.
It surely wouldn’t end well.
In the distance, Liu Qingxian waved at him, so he quickly ran over, and the two sneaked away quietly.
However, after walking a few steps.
Gong Caiyi suddenly grew suspicious.
Why would a man buy Beauty Cream?
Moreover, why would he think this Beauty Cream would be to her liking and not offensive?
She suddenly turned around and saw Jiang Fan almost at the corner. She had not doubted before, but now looking at Jiang Fan’s back, he felt familiar.
It seemed this Jiang Fan had a similar build to the young man who had sold the ointment.
Thinking of this, she immediately called out, “That disciple named Jiang Fan, come back!”
Jiang Fan was about to leave.
Suddenly being called, his face turned green.
Impossible?
Could he be this unlucky?
Being called by name, he had no choice but to come back, covering his face with his sleeve again.
In a muffled voice, he said, “Sect Master Gong, what are your orders?”
Seeing his sneaky manner, Gong Caiyi was completely certain.
The Jiang Fan before her was the young man who sold the ointment.
Thinking of how he had not given her any face, she felt both amused and annoyed.
With a teasing tone and a half-smile, she said, “Hmm? Why does your voice sound different from just now?”
Jiang Fan’s heart sank; was he overdoing it?
He quickly covered it up with a cough, saying, “It’s because of the cold; I can’t control it.”
Sect Master Gong chuckled, finding it amusing, “Really? Why do I find you so familiar?”
“Have we met somewhere before?”
Jiang Fan felt deeply troubled.
At this point, he could no longer misunderstand.
He had been recognized.
