Chapter 419: The Only Survivor of The Shang Family

After leaving the forest, Feng Tianlan could finally feel relieved . She had been afraid that the old man would keep pestering her until the Yanyue Building . Fortunately, he had stopped as they neared the edge of the forest . He didn’t shout across to her, almost as if he couldn’t .

An Advanced-stage Spiritual Emperor wanting her to be his master—this man must be a lunatic!

She waited for the guard to change shift so she could leave, but the guard unexpectedly remained where he was . She frowned . Could it be that she was already found out?

Suddenly, she heard the sound of a stranger’s breathing close by . Feng Tianlan turned around and attacked immediately . But the opponent was prepared . That person forcefully suppressed her and dragged her into the foliage .

“Who?” The guard instinctively turned in the direction of the movement . He saw that person and greeted respectfully, “Fifth Senior Brother . ”

That person gave out a non-committal ‘uh-huh’ and said, “Be on your guard, don’t let any demonic beasts cross the border . ”

“Yes!”

After watching the guard turn back to his original position, that person pulled Feng Tianlan along with him . “They changed shifts earlier, I will bring you out . ”

Feng Tianlan remained silent . There were too many people around . If she were to start a fight here, it was unlikely to end favorably . So she said faintly, “I will walk on my own . ”

That person glanced at Feng Tianlan and read her thoughts . He revealed his own identity to make her lower her guard . “I am Shang Chengle . I am the Shang Chengle who gave you the small town of the Shang Family, Ruyi Trade House, and the Spiritual Crystal Mine in exchange for the Shang Family’s revenge . ”

“It’s you . ” Feng Tianlan was quite surprised . “I didn’t expect you to really be hiding among the Flying Frost Pavilion . ”

Although his enemies were here, he was hiding amongst them as well . His self-control and the hiding ability was commendable!

“The more dangerous the place, the safer it is . ” Shang Chengle looked around . After making sure they’re alone, he said, “Don’t come out during these few days . The Flying Frost Pavilion seems to have discovered that someone is poking around at midnight and so they have changed their scheduled shifts . They won’t be changing their shifts regularly for now . ”

Feng Tianlan sized up the young man in front of her . He was a man in his thirties, with a very average looking face . He looked so average that if he were to be amidst a crowd, it would be difficult to identify him .

“A human skin mask?” Feng Tianlan squinted her eyes slightly at the slight difference in the skin between his neck and the part just below his ear . Her eyes hardened . Had someone found out about the deal and come to her for information?

Shang Chengle was surprised . He didn’t expect her to realize he was wearing a human face mask from just one look . His face remained passive for a moment, then he raised his hand and removed the left side of his mask slowly . A greyish brown scar slowly emerged from beneath .

“Ten years ago, I survived . However, half of my face was burnt, leaving a scar . I had to wear a human skin mask to not attract unwanted attention . ” Shang Chengle then slowly put his human face mask back into place . It blended with the rest of him very well .

Feng Tianlan glanced away . Her doubts disappeared . The deal was still known to only three people, the young master of the Shang Family, Elder Chen, and her . The others knew that she inherited the Ruyi Trade House but unless Elder Chen betrayed them, it was impossible for anyone else to know about this matter .

“Since you know that it’s me, why have you only appeared today?”

Shang Chengle looked around and answered, “I have been observing you for days . I didn’t plan to appear at all and just intended to help you quietly . But there’s a sudden change in the plan . Also, you started gathering information everywhere, so I am afraid people will become suspicious quickly . ”

“Tell me what you know,” Feng Tianlan asked directly, knowing that they couldn’t drag this conversation any longer .

Shang Chengle understood her intentions and went straight to the point, “I only know that he is among the Flying Frost Pavilion . I have investigated for seven years but all I have discovered is the master and the few owners of the islands . I don’t have anything more than that . ”

Feng Tianlan searched his eyes . Although this lead was almost nothing at all, it narrowed the scope of her search slightly . During these seven years, he didn’t just have to investigate but practice as well, and that couldn’t have been easy for him .
