702 Imitation (2/2)
For Hen Fen, it was an honest description and had no special meaning. But to a normal person, her words were an absolute humiliation. The old woman was so enraged that she jumped back while using her crutch to strike Han Fen in the chest, obviously wanting to kill her.
Another crutch pressed on hers, and the old woman retreated again. Furiously, she snapped, ”Don't you dare stop me, old dog!”
Dog Butcher looked submissive and not 'daring' at all. ”Senior sister misunderstood me. This girl gave three antidote pills to the Dragon King and may have more. We have to rely on her to save people if I'm no match for the Dragon King and can't get the last pill.”
The old woman suppressed her anger and asked, ”Do you have an antidote?”
Han Fen didn't answer. She was still carefully observing Shangguan Ru.
Shangguan Ru wasn't familiar with her and didn't understand why she was always staring at her. But she had no ill feelings towards her either, so she said, ”The Kongtong Sect is a famous sect of the Central Plains. Why did its disciples become so unreasonable after entering the prairie? Blatantly snatching antidotes and secretly kidnapping the innocent, it's really disappointing.”
The old woman sneered, but before she could start refuting Shangguan Ru's points, Han Fen had already said repeated the words verbatim in Shangguan Ru's manner.
Shangguan Ru laughed. ”Why do you always imitate me?”
Han Fen even imitated her laughter perfectly but spoke a little faster, ”Why do you always imitate me?”
It wasn't funny anymore but a little eerie now. The old woman, Dog Butcher, and everyone else of the Kongtong sect all stepped back a few paces.
Shangguan Ru also felt a bit nervous and helplessly glanced at the Dragon King.
Nobody knew what Han Fen was thinking. Gu Shenwei took a few steps forward and asked, ”Han Fen, are you still in the mood to play games at this time?”
Han Fen looked straight at Shangguan Ru while saying, ”Shh, don't you love saving this little girl the most? If I imitate her to perfection, then you'll also be willing to save me.”
Hearing this, Shangguan Ru blushed but the others were bewildered, unable to tell if Han Fen was joking or not.
Gu Shenwei shook his head gently and said, ”I'll save you regardless of if you imitate her or not.”
”Really?” Han Fen immediately turned her eyes to the Dragon King and smilingly returned to her original expression.
”But what are you going to use in exchange for your life this time?”
”Aiya, you've got me. You didn't like anything that I said before. You'd better make an offer yourself.”
”Tell me the whereabouts of Han Xuan and Shangguan Shaomin.”
”Deal.”
Han Fen promised so readily that Gu Shenwei felt a little uneasy.
Looking at the two, the old woman of the Kongtong sect was incensed, ”Are all the people of the Western Regions crazy? So much nonsense. If you want to save people, you'll have to go through me first.”
Gu Shenwei spread his arms and said, ”I have a suggestion. Let's have a kung fu competition. If I lose, I'll give you the antidote. Anyhow, the one of mine is real but what you will get from Han Fen may not…”
Han Fen interjected, ”Right. And I'm ticklish. I'll tremble when I'm frisked. And anything may fall out at that time in time.”
Gu Shenwei ignored her and continued laying out the rules. ”If the Kongtong sect loses, then you hand over Han Fen and get out of the way.”
”Heh, you wish!” The old woman refused to call the other side 'the Dragon King.' ”We are many and you are few. If you want to follow the rules of Jianghu, sever your relationship with the evildoers like Old Man Mu and the people of the Waning Moon Hall first.”
Gu Shenwei turned to Doctor Sun and said, ”Give me the antidote.”
Doctor Sun confusedly handed over the small wooden box that contained the pill.
Gu Shenwei put it in his robe and suddenly rushed at the old woman. Dog Butcher immediately reacted and tried to block him. But it was only a feint from Gu Shenwei, who turned halfway, jumped to the side and quickly ran into a dark area. Dog Butcher closely followed and wasn't left too far behind.
The two quickly disappeared. Soon, a few cries were heard in the distance. Many disciples of the Kongtong sect had come this time and they had laid an ambush on the periphery.
The old woman snorted with disdain, ”Humph, It's not that easy to escape.”
Han Fen imitated her tone, which was even more perfect than when she was imitating Shangguan Ru. ”Humph, it's not that easy to intercept him.”
Han Fen's 'judgment' turned out to be more accurate. Dog Butcher came back alone. ”Strange, he suddenly disappeared. But his lightness skill wasn't actually that good.”
No one was better at hiding in the dark than a killer. The people around Dragon King weren't surprised at all.
”What a coward…”
Before the old woman finished speaking, Gu Shenwei walked out from the nearest tent. ”This is why you should accept the terms of the kung fu competition.”
Dumbfounded, the old woman turned sharply to Dog Butcher, ”How were you chasing him?”
Dog Butcher nodded and admitted his fault. ”Yes, I didn't perform well. Please calm down, senior sister.”
”All right, then let's have a contest according to your terms. I don't believe that you are good at everything.”
Gu Shenwei was just about to open his mouth when a loud hearty laugh rang out through the dark. ”It's rare for Tu Pianpian to be so reasonable. Count me in if you want to have a competition!”
The old woman's face suddenly changed. She had worked so hard to lay this trap but didn't expected that her target would arrive ahead of time.
