Chapter 726 Chapter 726: Rongrong’s Suspicion!

?At first, the other people such as Gu Shengxin, Zhu Yan, the Gu Family’s Patriarch, and all of the Nascent Soul Stage elders were here to welcome Rongrong, but they felt that they became a third wheel for Elder Yang and Rongrong instead.

The atmosphere became really awkward since they did not dare to step forward to interrupt Elder Yang and Rongrong’s lovey-dovey moment.

Fortunately, Rongrong was very sensible, and she smiled at them.

“Hello, everyone~! My name is Xia Rong. You all can call me Rongrong.” Rongrong cheerfully greeted all of them.

Gu Family’s Patriarch stepped forward and said: “Haha~! Miss Rongrong is as beautiful and cheerful as always.”

“Master Alchemist Gu? My great-grandfather always mentioned to me how incredible your pills are. My ears almost grew callouses hearing it.” Rongrong praised the Gu Family’s Patriarch.

“Haha, Old Patriarch really likes to exaggerate. My skills are not that great. Let’s go in first, Miss Rongrong. We can talk more inside.” Gu Family’s Patriarch politely invited Rongrong to enter Gu Family’s mansion.

Rongrong grabbed Elder Yang’s arm again and dragged him to enter Gu Family’s mansion.

The other Nascent Soul Stage elders began to greet Rongrong one by one politely, while Rongrong cheerfully replied to them.

Then it was Gu Shengxin, Zhu Yan, and Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy’s turn…

Before Gu Shengxin could say anything, Rongrong had already called him first: “Ah, let me guess~! You must be the one-in-thousand-years alchemist genius from Gu Family, Gu Shengxin, right?!”

Gu Shengxin immediately felt proud and happy when he heard Rongrong’s words.

“You are right, Miss Rongrong. I am Gu Shengxin. But my skill is only a little bit better than others, so I do not dare to accept that one-in-thousand-years alchemist genius title.” Gu Shengxin humbly replied to Rongrong.

Then Rongrong glanced at Zhu Yan and Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy…

When Rongrong saw the perfect copy’s stunningly beautiful appearance, even she was stunned in amazement for a few moments.

But some doubt began to appear in her heart as she recalled the story from the four Nascent Soul Stage elders about an amazingly beautiful vixen who got close to her Yangyang in Tang Feng City before.

Even though the person in front of her was wearing a male outfit, but that did not rule out the possibility that she was actually a vixen disguised as a man to get close to her Yangyang.

It could be said that the woman’s intuition was truly scary.

Even Tang Li Xue and Elder Yang would never thought that this Rongrong could guess the perfect copy’s disguise and their relationship in one glance.

“These two people…” Rongrong murmured in a doubtful tone.

Elder Yang hastily introduced Zhu Yan and Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy to Rongrong: “This lady is Young Master Gu’s benefactor. She had already saved Young Master Gu many times, so Young Master Gu invited her to stay at his place for a while.”

“This handsome guy is my close friend, Feng Bai. You can just call him Brother Feng.”

Elder Yang did not mention anything about ‘childhood’ close friend and only said close friend because Rongrong would surely interrogate him later if he mentioned it.

The chance of getting discovered would only increase if he tried to tell more lies.

Rongrong’s doubt had grown stronger after she heard Elder Yang’s introduction. So, she decided to comment: “Oh, your close friend? You always look cold and indifferent to outsiders. I thought you never have any friends.”

Cold sweat began to soak Elder Yang’s back, but he did not show it on his face as he smiled at Rongrong and said in a casual tone: “How could it be?! Even I still have one or two close friends, okay?!”

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy snorted disdainfully as she stated in a displeasure tone: “One or two close friends?! You only have me as your close friend, okay?! Actually, I am still very shocked that you have not told me that you already have such a beautiful fiancé! Why? Are you afraid that I will snatch her from you?”

Elder Yang hastily tried to explain it: “That… is because I have not time to tell you yet… I…”

Rongrong interrupted Elder Yang halfway as she cheerfully said to Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy: “I apologize to Brother Feng in my Yangyang’s place. Despite his cold look, my Yangyang is actually very shy. Maybe he is too embarrassed to tell about our engagement to Brother Feng before.”

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy nodded to Rongrong while showing her signature dazzling gentle smile to Rongrong.

Rongrong was bewitched by it for a while until Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy spoke coldly to Elder Yang: “You should be thankful that your beautiful fiancé had apologized to me in your place. If you were the one who apologized to me, you would have to pay dearly for it.”

Elder Yang shrugged his shoulder and replied: “We will talk about it later when we drink wine together, okay? Rongrong is still tired today, so I will bring her to her courtyard to rest.”

Even though they were only pretending to be like a close friend right now, but Elder Yang’s words really pissed off Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy right now.

She almost could not hold on and give Elder Yang another ‘ball kick’.

Luckily, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy finally had another chance to get closer to Zhu Yan because both Gu Shengxin had to busily arrange maids and servants to prepare another unoccupied courtyard for Rongrong to stay.

Elder Yang had to always stay with Rongrong since Rongrong would not let him go even one step further from her.

So, there was only Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy and Zhu Yan who had nothing to do at this moment.

Although this might be her second chance to get closer to Zhu Yan after last night, but somehow she really could not put her mind to doing it today. The source of thɪs content is Novᴇl ꜰirᴇ.nᴇt

She always absentmindedly replied with ‘hum’, ‘oh’, ‘I see’, and so on, every time Zhu Yan tried to chat with her.

Meanwhile, Elder Yang was bombarded by Rongrong with many questions about his close friend, Brother Feng Bai, such as: ‘Where did you meet him for the first time’, ‘What is his background’, ‘Who is his parents’, ‘Where does he live before’, and so on.

Elder Yang was having a great headache from Rongrong’s nonstop questions. He really wanted to just run away from here so badly, but he clearly could not do it since Rongrong hugged his arm so tightly.

Elder Yang pondered carefully for a while…

He could just tell fake information to Rongrong, but it would be bad if Rongrong asked Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy about these later to make sure of it.

So, Elder Yang decided to kick all of these questions back to Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy instead…

“Rongrong, it is not that I do not want to answer your questions, but I am worried that guy would be angry at me if I told you about him without his permission. That guy is quite sensitive and so hard to please. How about you ask him directly tomorrow?” Elder Yang replied to Rongrong.

“Okay~! Then I will ask him tomorrow!” Rongrong cheerfully said, but her doubt had grown stronger and stronger at this point.

After that, Rongrong chatted about many other topics with Elder Yang for the next few hours.

Then they had dinner together in Rongrong’s place before Elder Yang made an excuse that he was already tired, so Rongrong finally released him back to his room.

When Rongrong entered back to her room, she secretly took out her communication talisman to call several Nascent Soul Stage elders from her Immortal Sword Sect to her room.

It did not take long for those Nascent Soul Stage elders to arrive at Rongrong’s room.

After greeting them politely, Rongrong immediately asked: “Elders, can you all tell me everything you know about that Young Master Feng Bai?”

Those several Nascent Soul Stage elders glanced at each other politely before saying: “Sorry, Niece Rongrong… It is not like we do not want to tell you about him, but we also do not know anything about that person. What we know is…”

They began to tell Rongrong about Young Master Feng Bai’s heroic deed in the previous battle.

However, Rongrong did not feel awe at his heroic deed, but she frowned deeply in suspicion instead.

“Elders, have you already used your [Mirror of Revelation] to check him?” Rongrong asked several Nascent Soul Stage elders.

But several Nascent Soul Stage elders shook their heads in unison.

How could they use [Mirror of Revelation] on their future young patriarch’s only close friend?!

It would be really bad if they left a bad impression on future young patriarch because of it, right?!

Rongrong knew their worries, so she did not make it difficult for them.

“Give me one of your [Mirror of Revelation]. I will try to check him with [Mirror of Revelation] tomorrow.” Rongrong muttered to those several Nascent Soul Stage elders.
