Chapter 556: Chapter 553: Conversation with He QiuShui_1

Mo Wu stroked his chin: “Hehe, Mo has come to your esteemed sect today just to take a look around. I don’t think Sect Master He would mind.”

“Of course not. It’s an honor for our Canghai Sect to have Brother Mo here to enjoy our scenery. I’m more than happy to welcome you. How could I possibly reject you?” He Shangfeng said amicably, treating Mo Wu with the utmost hospitality.

Mo Wu spoke with his back turned: “I appreciate your warm welcome, Brother He. Unfortunately, even if I wanted to enjoy my tour here, I won’t have much time. Today, our main purpose in coming here is decided by our young friend Yang Chen. Yang Chen, my friend, what brings you to the Canghai Sect?”

Mo Wu’s eyes were fixed on Yang Chen, waiting for his answer.

He wasn’t a fool; he knew the relationship between Yang Chen and the Canghai Sect and that Yang Chen wanted to use their Beishan Main City’s support in this matter. However, he was counting on Yang Chen to get things done, so even if he knew that Yang Chen planned to use their city’s power, he had to play along.

With the high-level backing of Beishan Main City by his side, Yang Chen was much more confident. No matter how strong He Shangfeng was, he couldn’t have any hold over him.

At this moment, Yang Chen slowly said, “I came here to find Senior He QiuShui. I wonder if Sect Master He knows if Senior He QiuShui is within the Sect?”

“Looking for He Qiushui?”

The many high-levels of the Beishan Main City couldn’t help but feel confused.

He Shangfeng also narrowed his eyes, not expecting that the reason for Beishan Main City’s significant effort to come here was simply because of a young man like Yang Chen. Just what kind of power did Yang Chen hold that could move the entire Beishan Main City?

Now, hearing that Yang Chen was looking for He Qiushui, He Shangfeng felt disgusted. He didn’t have a good relationship with Yang Chen and was even less willing to let his junior sister interact with an outsider. He bluntly said, “I’m sorry, Young Friend Yang Chen, but my junior sister is not in the Sect now. I don’t know what she’s up to, but I’m afraid she won’t be back any time soon.”

“Oh?” Yang Chen narrowed his eyes, not really believing He Shangfeng’s words.

Just now, he had asked Yun Lu to use her soul to examine the sect and found out that He Qiushui was indeed in Canghai Sect. That was why he entered.

Before he could say anything, a cold voice suddenly rang out, “Sect Master, when did Junior Sister He leave the Sect?”

As the voice faded, He Qiushui’s figure emerged. A calm figure with a solemn posture caught the attention of the many Beishan Main City high-levels. When He Qiushui was younger, she was a beauty of the Beishan Main City, but unfortunately, no one was able to win her over.

Seeing He Qiushui now, everyone’s expression became interesting.

He Shangfeng said He Qiushui wasn’t present, but she showed up immediately.

He Qiushui’s face showed a hint of anger. The thing she hated the most was when others made decisions for her without her permission. What’s more, He Shangfeng had no relationship with her and dared to tell outsiders that she wasn’t around.

If it were someone else, would she have really spared He Shangfeng’s face?

Although He Shangfeng was unhappy now, he couldn’t vent his frustration in public. His expression shifted between joy and anger before returning to a smile, “Junior Sister, when did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me?”

He Qiushui didn’t even bother to acknowledge He Shangfeng. instead, she looked coldly at Yang Chen and said without a hint of warmth, “Yang Chen, what is the purpose of your visit to the Canghai Sect looking for me?”

“Yes, Yang Chen, what’s your reason for looking for my junior sister?” He Shangfeng pressed Yang Chen, asking further.

He was very curious about the relationship between Yang Chen and He Qiushui.

Yang Chen knew that if he didn’t explain himself, it might arouse He Shangfeng’s suspicion. He smiled and said, “Sect Master He, you may not know this, but Senior He Qiushui did invite me to join the Canghai Sect during the Genius Selection Competition. Unfortunately, I couldn’t accept her invitation due to my prior commitment to the Yuanshan Sect. Despite this, Senior He Qiushui still generously offered me some guidance, which has been immensely beneficial to me. Much of my achievements today are related to Senior He Qiushui.”

At this point, Yang Chen’s expression became extremely serious as he lied without even blushing, “The ancients once said that one must repay a received favor with a gushing spring. I have decided to come here to repay Senior He Qiushui for her kindness and guidance! I have also prepared a gift specially for Senior He Qiushui.”

Yang Chen’s lie was seamless, leaving He Qiushui’s face expressionless, but inwardly, she couldn’t help but chuckle.

The reason she had been so cold to Yang Chen was simply to avoid letting He Shangfeng discover anything. She just hadn’t expected Yang Chen to be even better at lying and covering up than herself. She had only met Yang Chen once and now, he used that one encounter to spin a convincing and unassailable lie.

He Shangfeng could not question the authenticity of Yang Chen’s words. After all, he knew that his Junior Sister had indeed tried to invite Yang Chen to join their sect.

However, He Shangfeng, being a very suspicious person, probed further, “Yang Chen, it’s commendable that you have this desire to repay gratitude, which shows that you have a promising future. What do you plan to give my junior sister in return?”

“Well, please forgive me for keeping it a secret. I must give it personally to Senior He Qiushui,” he replied.

He Qiushui didn’t wait for He Shangfeng’s response, nor did she look at his gloomy face. Instead, she slowly said, “Yang Chen, in that case, follow me.”

“Yes!” Yang Chen promptly followed He Qiushui.

With one in front and one behind, they left.

As He Qiushui and Yang Chen disappeared, He Shangfeng’s expression changed from gloomy to sunny. Knowing that people were still around, he quickly composed himself and smiled, “Everyone, let’s sit down and have some tea.”

“That sounds good.”

At the same time, Yang Chen and He Qiushui arrived at her residence in the mountain.

“This is my Twin Luan Peak,” He Qiushui said in a gentle voice, her attitude towards Yang Chen much warmer and friendlier now. After all, Yang Chen was the only descendant of her senior brother, so there was no reason for her to be cold to him.

Moreover, she knew that Yang Chen’s visit today must have been for an important reason, though she couldn’t guess what it was.

Being cautious, Yang Chen carefully studied his surroundings instead of speaking, appreciating the beautiful scenery of Twin Luan Peak with its mountains and waters.

“Senior Yun Lu, please help me observe the surroundings,” Yang Chen calmly transmitted his thoughts to Yun Lu.
