Chapter 90 Cool (1/2)
Canglan glided along the white satin that lay on the water as if stepping on clouds. Without the enchanting fiery red robe, she would have appeared an angel from heaven, with the red robe, she was a Red Spider Lily full of mystery, radiating charm, beautiful bloom from the depths of hell.
As she alighted ashore, the crowd was seething and wanted to throw meat buns at her. In their eyes, she was mocking illustrious Mister Night Phoenix, and she should remove the Mister Night Phoenix costume and commit suicide.
Reaching shore, Canglan waved the White Jade Fan while she climbed the steps to the Fengyun Restaurant.
In the Fengyun Restaurant, the Nine Prominent Figures each dwelled on this unusual situation. As they waited, the faint aroma of Red Spider Lily rose and filled the room.
Mister Yao Xi studied the Night Phoenix, looking him up and down, and a curious smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, his dark eyes becoming more challenging to read.
Mister Yao Yan huffed at the impostor Mister Night Phoenix, gazing expectantly in the direction of the stairs, his face aglow.
Mister Wu Hen's delight was obvious, but he also appeared jealous and sad. He disguised his apathy but couldn't do the same with his grief.
Mister Zi Zhu cried miserably. As he heard Canglan drawing closer and louder, his anguished cries became louder and more strained, and the fake Poison Sage in the Fengyun Restaurant was puzzled by his reaction. He wondered if his poison really was that strong.
Mister Feng Gui's reaction was typical. His eyes remained blank, and his surprise had not decreased since the second Mister Night Phoenix arrived.
Mister Yang's smile froze seeing Canglan. He looked at the Night Phoenix who had arrived first with a puzzled expression and then smiled again.
Mister Liu Huo stood rigid, his tall body blocking the door for some reason, as if ready to make a military salute, causing the others to roll their eyes at him. 'Hey, you're not the only one who wants to see what is happening. We want to see it, too!' They shouted in their hearts.
Mister Jue Sha also suddenly straightened, but not in an obvious way like Liu Huo. There was so much eagerness in his eyes that people who did not know the situation would think he was about to greet his lover.
The impostor Night Phoenix was griped with terror, but he hid his panic before it was seen. When he heard the conversation between Canglan and Yan Cangyue, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He believed he was perfectly prepared. He knew no one would recognize him except the real Mister Night Phoenix, and clearly the man who was coming up the steps was more bogus than he was.
The false Medical Sage and Poison Sage were calmer than their companion impostor Night Phoenix. They snorted when the three appeared on the boat. They believe the three men were fakes too, because the real Mister Night Phoenix never participated in such activities.
