Chapter 34 Xin Shisiniang (2/2)
If she was just an ordinary woman, her petite figure would not be able to produce such explosive strength.
With all that reasons stated, it was obvious that she was not a human. Her father was certainly non-human too.
”Of course I am not a human. The fact that you were able to tell it with one look, you're indeed special.”
”I couldn't tell by looking, I guessed it.” Shen Lian was honest with his answer. He did not see the point of self-praising.
”You eat how much you own”, the wisdom saying since ancient times.
”Then, you are brilliant.”
”I don't deny that.” Shen Lian smiled as if spring just breezed through.
”On the fifteenth day of this month, my father would like to host you at the Qielan Temple. It is also my birthday so please don't show up empty-handed.”
The woman left as her voice faded away.
An Renjie touched the spot where Xin Shisiniang kicked as if he was reliving moments. ”Brother Lian, what on earth is this beauty? She seems pretty ferocious.”
”Didn't I say that she's not human? Were you even listening?”
”Non-human...could it be that she's a monster?”
If it were not for that kick, An Renjie would have referred her as a goddess instead of a monstress. Just like his words, he was a very frank person.
”I am not sure about that. It's just that Qielan temple was being abandoned after Ling Chongxiao chased away the temple monks. I've never heard that this father and daughter has taken over the temple. Uncle Wu, do you know about it?”
Shen Lian asked Steward Wu who was next to him.
”I've never heard about people taking over the Qielan temple. There were rumors of people hearing strange sound around there. Bodyguards who passed by the area too didn't have the guts to enter. Considering that you said that she's not a mortal, could it be that monsters reside in the temple?”
The thought scared Steward Wu. It was still not too bad if Xin Shisiniang was from the Jianghu. But if she was a monster?! He felt the need to advise Shen Lian against attending the invitation.
”Since she has invited me, should I attend the function?” Shen Lian seemed like he was asking himself but could also be asking the people surrounding him.
”Don't go, of course!”
”You should go!”
The one who discouraged him was Steward Wu while the one who encouraged was An Renjie.
”Forget about it. When the time comes, I will decide to go or not to go.”
”Brother Lian, if you do go, will you bring me along?”
An Renjie asked with a pleasing smile. If he had a tail, he would be shaking his tail right now.
”Do you have amnesia? If it wasn't for me earlier on, you would have to stay in bed for the next three months.”
”But I'll have you around. Just like what dad says, you are Jianghu's number one when it comes to martial arts.”
”I can bring you there but you have to give me your family treasure.”
”That is the life of my old man. He will beat me to death if I sneak it out!”
