Chapter 434: It Is Obvious Who Is The Lady Phoenix

Tu Xiupei’s father had married into the Feng Family. Not many people—only those from the South Winds Nation—knew about this. Furthermore, they had kept this information private, so no one, except their own people, knew that her father married into the Feng Family.

“Utterly shameless!” Luo Yunzhu’s face flushed red with anger. She had seen many shameless people before but never one so shameless to this extreme!

Qi Shujie wiped the blood off his face. He planted himself next to Tu Xiupei and glared at Feng Tianlan with hostility. “The phoenix will always be a phoenix. This cannot be overlooked just because her surname is changed. Junior Sister Pei’er has always been the reincarnation of Lady Phoenix in the South Winds Nation.”

“Lady Phoenix?” The old man scrutinized Tu Xiupei who seemed gentle and kind at first glance, but whose eyes were full of schemes. He shook his head just slightly and turned to Feng Tianlan. She was calm and more receptive, with authority etched between her eyebrows, exuding an unseen royal aura.

The difference was obvious!

If he were asked to guess who the Lady Phoenix was, it’s clear his master was the real Lady Phoenix!

“Yes, Pei’er is the Lady Phoenix that people of the South Winds Nation are talking about…” Qi Shujie told him about Tu Xiupei’s glorious battle against thousands of enemies during the First Tide of Beasts, how she gave her all to stop the Riot of the Demonic Beasts without paying heed to the danger she was putting herself into.

He incited expressions of awe from the crowd. Those who heard this account of his gained deep respect for Tu Xiupei and their blood burned with righteous indignation. His talents were being wasted as the headmaster’s son. He would do well as a storyteller in a teahouse.

Luo Yunzhu’s heart leaped up and down as she listened to Qi Shujie giving his version of the story. She yearned to cut both their tongues out of their mouths with her sword. They didn’t just distort the truth; they were also taking credit for what Feng Tianlan had done.

But she recalled Feng Tianlan mentioning a killer targeting the one with the power to summon a phoenix and reluctantly, she swallowed whatever retort was rising along with her anger.

“Wonderful! That’s wonderful!” The old man found himself almost believing this account and gave Qi Shujie a round of applause. He clapped distractedly and looked to Qi Hongan. “This kid here is really good words. It’s a shame if his talent isn’t nurtured properly. We’re going to lose a viable business opportunity at a teahouse!”
