“A little rascal?”
Gu Xin’er was stunned.
The devoted husband she admired was actually that little rascal?
For a moment, she couldn’t accept it.
How could two such extreme people be the same person?
“Am I seeing things?”
She tried closing her eyes briefly.
When she opened them again, it was still Jiang Fan’s detestable face.
Thinking of him threatening her with aphrodisiacs and playing her in circles.
Suddenly she was filled with anger.
With a tap of her toe, she was about to dash and kill him: “This time he won’t get away!”
But the hairpin sighed and said, “If you make a move, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master will have to intervene.”
“Don’t let things escalate beyond control.”
Hmm?
Gu Xin’er abruptly stopped.
She came to do business, not to make enemies with a Nascent Soul expert who governed a land of the Human Clan.
Her eyebrows raised as she said:
“But the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master just looked at the little rascal’s portrait and said he didn’t recognize him.”
“Why would the Pavilion Master intervene for someone he doesn’t even know?”
The hairpin smiled helplessly and said, “Think it over carefully, how did the Pavilion Master reply to you?”
Gu Xin’er frowned, “I asked him if he recognized the person in the portrait.”
“He replied, saying he didn’t know…”
“Wait, he said he hadn’t seen!”
The hairpin said meaningfully, “Got it now?”
“Not seeing, means he hasn’t seen the person in person.”
“It doesn’t mean he didn’t recognize who was in the portrait.”
“His evasive answer was clearly to protect Jiang Fan, not wanting you to harm him.”
Gu Xin’er suddenly realized!
An answer that seemed similar on the surface had such a wide gap in meaning.
“Ugh, playing word games!”
Gu Xin’er felt a bit deceived.
The hairpin continued, “I heard the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is recruiting disciples lately.”
“This person must be one of them.”
Gu Xin’er was taken aback, “How come?”
“Isn’t he a disciple of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple?”
The hairpin chuckled, “A Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple disciple who can use Cloud Shadow and has Fragrant Corpse Pills?”
Gu Xin’er exclaimed, “Master, are you saying he’s a loose cultivator?”
“Relying on his own abilities, mastering Cloud Shadow to perfection?”
“Isn’t that unbelievable?”
“Many elite disciples of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple find it hard even under their elders’ guidance.”
“To achieve it alone, what kind of talent does that require?”
The hairpin said, “That’s why the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master is protecting him.”
“Give it up.”
“Since he has the Pavilion Master backing him, and you might not be able to outwit him.”
“Don’t cause yourself trouble.”
Gu Xin’er was infuriated.
They said she couldn’t outplay Jiang Fan?
What a joke?
She would prove it to her master.
She glared at Jiang Fan.
