Chapter 55: You'll Never Catch Up

Mountain and Sea Lantern

Chapter 55 Anyway, You Won't Get Her This finally successfully shifted the two women's attention, and they immediately pressed Bian Weiying about what she wanted from him.

Shi Chun immediately recounted the process of Bian Weiying actively seeking him out for questioning.

After listening, Feng Chi and Xiang Lan'er also didn't understand what Bian Weiying's questions meant.

In Shi Chun's words, he couldn't discern Bian Weiying's Attitude.

She didn't show any disgust about her Older Brother finding a Courtesan, nor did she seem to show any happiness about her Older Brother's return. It was as if she was purely just asking.

These things were said and then passed over. The two women had come to find him for another important matter.

Feng Chi proactively opened the topic, saying: "Must you absolutely enter Wukang Mountain with our Young Lady?"

Shi Chun, with his heavily powdered face, immediately became like a Bird Startled by a Bowstring. He urgently emphasized: "This was agreed upon, don't tell me you want to go back on your word?"

Xiang Lan'er made no comment.

Feng Chi waved her hand, "It's not about going back on our word.

We have found a way to get you in together, however, it requires your cooperation."

As soon as he heard he could get in, powder immediately flaked off Shi Chun's smiling face, "Cooperate, cooperate! As long as it's reasonable, and as long as it's something I can do, I will definitely cooperate."

Feng Chi: "Good.

Starting today, you must show affection for my Young Lady in front of everyone. You must actively Pursue my Young Lady."

Gah… A gurgle came from Shi Chun's throat.

He looked at Feng Chi, then at Xiang Lan'er. He couldn't discern any Clue from their faces.

His eyes filled with confusion as he said: "Madam Boss, isn't this joke a bit too much? Young Lady Xiang is the woman Bian Weikang likes. Bian Weikang brought a daughter-in-law of the Bian Family home.

You want me to run to their house and Pursue their daughter-in-law? You want me to cause this Troublesome Matter at Wukang Mountain? Isn't that a bit excessive? Are you looking down on Wukang Mountain, or are you afraid I won't die miserably enough?"

Feng Chi counter-questioned: "Do you think Bian Jixiong would acknowledge the Young Lady as his daughter-in-law?"

"Well…" Shi Chun thought to himself that he wouldn't acknowledge her. No Normal People would Accept her. But he humbly said aloud: "I'm still young, I really don't understand household matters."

"Certainly not."

After Feng Chi answered herself, she asked again: "Do you think Bian Jixiong, after Expelling his Son from the Sect, truly wanted to completely cut ties?"Without waiting for Shi Chun's reply, she gave the answer herself: "Although it seemed very real and decisive, and most people throughout Wukang Mountain mistakenly believed it was true, from the information we Grasp, that is not the case. That was merely Bian Jixiong's Iron-Fisted Parenting method."

Shi Chun thought for a moment.

Still somewhat puzzled, he pointed to himself, then to Xiang Lan'er, "What does this have to do with me pursuing her?"

Feng Chi: "Under normal circumstances, Bian Jixiong would never Accept a daughter-in-law from Liyun Tower. But what if Bian Jixiong wanted to Severely Injure his Son again? What if he wanted his Son to watch his Beloved woman be Robbed?"

"…" Shi Chun was momentarily speechless.

He wasn't stupid. He immediately Understood what the other party meant.

Feng Chi explained: "Bian Weikang is not without redeeming qualities. In fact, Bian Weikang's Cultivation Talent is quite high.

Bian Jixiong had originally placed great hopes on such a biological Son. Moreover, he only has this one Son left.

But alas, Wealth and Power Corrupt People.

Bian Jixiong was unwilling to Sit By and Watch, so he decisively took action.

He wanted to strip his Son of all Glory and Wealth. He wanted to utterly cast his Son into the depths of despair.

Once that Son truly climbed out of the low point, he would have succeeded. This, more or less, is what Bian Jixiong Secretly said."

Shi Chun was Secretly alarmed as he listened.

The words the Wukang Mountain Sect Master Secretly said could actually be known here. It seemed they had indeed made preparations within Wukang Mountain long ago.

"At this time, if someone were to tell Bian Jixiong that you like the Young Lady, and remind Bian Jixiong of this method to provoke his Son, and if some people were to Plead for Mercy for Bian Weikang, Bian Jixiong would very likely Push the Boat Along with the Current and let you into Wukang Mountain.

Afterwards, he would largely truly do so.

He would truly help others Rob the woman his Son liked. Firstly, such a daughter-in-law cannot be kept.

Secondly, it's to use this to further provoke his Son and inspire him to strive upwards.

In this way, it also explains why you wanted to help Bian Weikang Redeem the Young Lady from Servitude.

Because you like the Young Lady.

In this way, you and the Young Lady can Both enter Wukang Mountain.

This method can also give you considerable help. Aren't you looking for someone in Wukang Mountain? Once Bian Jixiong intends to help you and provides you with convenience, then it will truly be much more convenient for you in Wukang Mountain."

Shi Chun, with his face covered in white powder, blinked and blinked as he listened.

Hearing this, he had to admit that this was indeed a method that couldn't be any better. He couldn't help but ask: "Whose idea was this? It shouldn't be you two, right?"

It wasn't that he looked down on these two women, but this method, though seemingly simple, was not something anyone could come up with.

The person who came up with this idea must have a considerable deep Understanding of Wukang Mountain and Bian Jixiong. This was practically Diagnosing Accurately and Prescribing Medicine.

Feng Chi: "Whose idea it was is not important. In short, someone from Wukang Mountain will arrange everything.

You only need to pretend to admire and Pursue my Young Lady. You don't need to do anything else."

"…" The method was good, but Shi Chun was slow to Agree to it.

What was his Maintain One's Integrity all these years for? It was so that when he met someone he liked in the future, they could more easily Accept him. If it gets out that he liked and Pursued a Courtesan, what would that be? His Innocence would truly be defiled.

He really wanted to know whose Bad Idea this was. Out of all the ideas, they had to ask him to pursue Xiang Lan'er.

It was truly too difficult for him.

Although his face was covered in powder, even through the thick layer of powder, the two women could discern the strong unwillingness on his face to pursue Xiang Lan'er.

Feng Chi asked, puzzled: "Is this very difficult? This is the most foolproof and best method, isn't it?"

Xiang Lan'er's lips were already drawn thin. Her expression had also completely turned cold.

She practically turned and walked away on the spot, "I have Fulfill my Promise. If you are unwilling, don't blame anyone."

"Ah, this, no."

Shi Chun quickly dashed over. He blocked the doorway with his body, and another layer of powder flaked off with a Dry Laugh.

"Young Lady Xiang, it's not that I'm unwilling. I'm thinking, if I do this, I'd be letting Bian Weikang down. Have you communicated with him? If not, it could lead to misunderstandings."

His thought was, if Bian Weikang didn't agree, then there would be a reason for them to find another solution.

Feng Chi walked over.

"Bian Weikang is still kneeling outside Wukang Mountain's Mountain Gate right now. He can't even see his father's face. After much deliberation, we decided it's better not to let Bian Weikang know the Truth."

Shi Chun: "Ah, then wouldn't he hate me to death later? Is it necessary? I'm perfectly fine, why make an enemy like this?"

Feng Chi: "It's still the same saying, Wealth and Power Corrupt People.

Bian Weikang's Disposition is still lacking at the moment. If he knew the Truth, with his Acting Skills, he wouldn't be able to hide it from Bian Jixiong and the others.

A Flaw would soon be spotted. Only then could true big trouble arise.

As for whether Bian Weikang hates you or not, is he that important? Anyway, you won't get the Young Lady."

Shi Chun thought about it and realized it was true.

Anyway, he wouldn't actually be with this woman. He could explain to his Beloved later.

After a brief moment of thought, he nodded vigorously and said: "Alright, let's do this, I'll follow your arrangements. Oh, right, when do we go up the mountain?"

Xiang Lan'er's tensed lips slowly relaxed.

She said Expressionless: "Once arrangements are made on the mountain, someone will naturally come to inform us to go up." Then she pushed Shi Chun, who was blocking the doorway, aside.

As she walked out the door, she turned her head and glanced at Shi Chun. She said coldly: "Truly unsightly!"

A Fragrant Breeze went out.

Feng Chi, who followed out, let out a chuckle. She evidently had the same Opinion.

She pulled up her Hooded Cloak again to cover her True Appearance.

Shi Chun gently touched the powder on his face with both hands.

He shrugged dismissively. He stretched his neck to look outside the door.

He pulled his head back and closed the door again. Clear powder marks were left on the Door Bolt.

He returned to the mirror. He tilted his head left and right to look.

He still felt quite good about himself. He found that if his facial expressions were too exaggerated, powder easily flaked off.

So he quickly adopted an Expressionless face.

"Chuntian!"

From the Inn Lobby, a loud Shout suddenly came.

Shi Chun didn't need to guess to know who had arrived. He quickly went to open the door again.

Since his face was in an inconvenient state to go out, he poked his head out and Shout: "Innkeeper, tell him to come over."

Before long, Thump thump Sound of Footsteps came.

Wu Jinliang had arrived. He poked his head inside to peek.

After making eye contact with Shi Chun, he exclaimed "Aiya!", then immediately ran in and asked Shi Chun what was wrong with his face.

As soon as he heard about Whitening, Wu Jinliang immediately threw down his Saber, pulled off his Travel Bag and tossed it aside.

Then, without even washing his Travel-Stained face, under Shi Chun's guidance, he performed a series of actions, and was only satisfied after applying a layer to his own face.

Afterwards, they naturally discussed each other's situations.

The matters in Zhaotian City were simple. They were originally done according to Shi Chun's instructions.

However, what happened here made Wu Jinliang quite surprised. He said, Surprised and Suspicious: "That Disheveled Old Man, how did you run into him again? Such a coincidence, Chuntian, is it really a coincidence?"

What kind of place was the Land of Exile? It was a place where one would Fight Desperately for a little Benefit.

It was a place where people would Use Every Conceivable Means. Coincidence? Not to mention Shi Chun, even Wu Jinliang, encountering such a thing, would also be full of Suspicion.

Shi Chun, however, said Composed: "Their Cultivation Level is too high. If they say it's a coincidence, do we need to question it? If they insist on giving us benefits, do we have the Qualification to refuse? Just take the benefits for now, and anyway, remember to Be More Careful."

"Mm, I'm Aware."

Wu Jinliang had just Agreed to it, when he suddenly pointed at Shi Chun's face: "Powder flakes off your face whenever you speak. Look at me, will mine flake off?"

"Yours isn't completely dry yet, not much will flake off."

So the two began to speak in a mumbling, Expressionless, non-mouth-moving manner, striving to integrate into and possess this World.
