After the battle at Nine-abyss, the only two competitors were Liu Suzi and Liu Suhong.
Thus, Liu Suzi has been keeping an eye out for Liu Suhong’s movements and plans.
Liu Suhong was almost as smart as her and never wasted time. Therefore, Liu Suzi was curious and gave chase.
She then came across Xuanyuan Yiyi who was also looking for Feng Feiyun. The two eventually made it here and saw this situation.
However, Xuanyuan Yiyi’s revelation shocked everyone.
“One of the eight immemorial arts!” An old man from her faction couldn’t believe it.
Goddamn her big parrot mouth, you’re not gonna die if you keep it shut for a moment! Always showing up at the wrong time too! Feiyun cursed.
The news of this art would cause quite a stir. Even the Fourth Ancestor was trembling after hearing this.
Though the saintess was certainly trustworthy, he still asked for confirmation: “You truly cultivate the Grand Puppet Art?”
It was too late to deny it now.
Feiyun gritted his teeth at Xuanyuan Yiyi before putting on a fake smile: “Yes, I’ve been to an immemorial cave and came across an incomplete version.”
“That’s fine, our Heavenseer Division will be able to derive the complete version with it.” An old man from the faction said.
Fourth Ancestor glared at him, causing the old man to turn pale and realize that he shouldn’t have said it.
Liu Suhong and Liu Suzi didn’t expect this development.
Suhong calmed down and came over next to Feiyun. She put on a loving expression and said: “We are deeply in love with each other, please support us, Seniors.”
Suzi narrowed her eyes. She only came to watch the show, not expecting to hear such an important piece of information. No wonder why she’s pretending to like this half-demon. She wants that art and the treasure.
If her branch were to obtain the puppet art, she would absolutely become the next master of their clan. Other branches would become suppressed as a result.
However, Liu Suzi didn’t believe that these two were actually in love. She said: “Feng Feiyun, the saintess of Aquamoon and I are here right now, no one can threaten you so don’t make a stupid decision.”
A skinny old man from Liu Suhong’s branch stroked his beard and said: “Zi’er, what are you saying? You dare to question true love?”
Another old man smiled: “He is handsome and talented, they are a match made in heaven.”
“Zi’er, don’t be disrespectful. You should be happy that your big sister has found love.”
Just a while ago, these men were staring aggressively at Feiyun. Now, they seemed to be loving him just because of the Grand Puppet Art.
He couldn’t stand their expression and sneered, thinking that benefits could change enemies into friends or friends into enemies.
“Feng Feiyun, what say you?” Liu Suzi waved her fan and asked.
Feiyun stroked his chin and a smirk appeared on his face. He grabbed Liu Suhong’s slender hand and gently rubbed it, acting quite intimate. “We are truly in love, it’s just that my status is too lowly, I’m afraid…”
“Honey, don’t say that, you know that I don’t care at all.” Liu Suhong pressed one finger on his lips and shook her head.
Liu Suzi scowled and found it rather gross, not wanting to watch this fake and disgusting romance.
Xuanyuan Yiyi notice her distaste and understood why she was so agitated. Yiyi became angry as well because of Feng Feiyun’s unfaithfulness.
Saying these words in front of Liu Suzi, doesn’t he know that it will hurt her feelings? Sigh, men have always been like this.
Xuanyuan Yiyi lamented but didn’t want to get involved in others’ romance. She consoled: “Suzi, if you are having a hard time, you can follow me to Aquamoon Paradise and train there for a few years.”
Suzi smiled and responded: “No way, Liu Suhong has made her move and I won’t relent. I don’t believe that they’re actually in love, he must be threatened by her.”
Xuanyuan Yiyi shook her head, thinking that Liu Suzi was too much in love with Feiyun: “Don’t do anything crazy.”
“Liu Suhong is forcing my hand.” Liu Suzi replied before thinking about the successor competition.
Xuanyuan Yiyi sighed again.
“Yiyi, why do you keep on sighing recently? You’re already the saintess of Aquamoon.” Suzi laughed.
“I’m sighing because of you.”
“This is just how the successor competition is, one wrong move and it’s all over. There’s no peace like the one in your Aquamoon Paradise.”
“The involved parties are truly blind.” Yiyi lamented.
Liu Suzi found her reaction to be rather strange. Nonetheless, she smiled and said: “Don’t preach your logic to me because we are different. I’m just a regular woman while you’re a grand saintess. If you care that much about my losing to Liu Suhong, why not help me?”
“Aquamoon Paradise does not interfere with political struggle.”
“Sigh, what if I lose? Liu Suhong is quite capable. Don’t you know that there were seven princes and princesses once? Now there are only two. Do you know what happened to the losers?” Liu Suzi put on a sad expression.
“Fine, fine, I’ll help you once, but not with the competition but rather the matter between the three of you. This is considered personal, not political.” Though Yiyi had a pure heart, she was still a human.
Moreover, she thought that Feiyun was being too cruel to Liu Suzi.
***
Meanwhile, Feiyun has agreed to come back to Crimson while being escorted by the Liu Clan. There was no danger with someone like Fourth Ancestor being around.
“Is it really the Grand Puppet Art?” Liu Suhong asked with a charming smile while sitting in the carriage.
“First Princess, you don’t believe the Aquamoon Saintess?” Feiyun laughed.
“No, I just think that I’ve made out like a bandit this time. Initially, I thought that I was on the losing side for marrying a half-demon. But now, the Grand Puppet Art is the betrothal gift, that’s a good deal.” Her smile was more beautiful than the rays of spring.
“Don’t tell me you really want to marry me.” He said.
“Who else will I marry?” She shrugged: “The direct female members of the clan are tested every year. Losing one’s virginity before marriage will result in being banished to a monastery. They’ll be removed from the clan’s list as well.”
“Don’t blame me for what happened.” He said. It was because she schemed for his phoenix blood and stimulated his evil nature.
“If it wasn’t for the treasure and your bloodline, I would rather go to the monastery.” She said.
“So that’s your goal, still the treasure.” Feiyun smiled.
“That meteor alone would take an immortal city many eras to accumulate. With those spirit stones, I can bribe numerous elders and the successor spot will be fine.” She glanced at him disdainfully.
“As for you, it’s fine that you can’t become a top cultivator. As long as I’m the next territory lord, I will have enough resources to boost my cultivation, my power alone will be enough to reign over Crimson. In fact, the weaker you are, the better. The seniors will feel much better since you won’t be able to take over our clan in that case.”
“You’ve really thought this through.” Feiyun laughed.
