Volume 1: Phoenix Nirvana, Reborn from the Ashes Chapter 34: Stinky Ugly
At this moment when the maidservants, including Qin Yelian, were staring intently, a familiar yet youthful voice rang out with a scolding tone:
"Hey, our master is asking you questions... how come every one of you looks like a fool!"
It wasn't until then that the crowd awoke from their dreamlike trance, looked down and discovered that behind the man stood two children wearing light blue embroidered robes, with faces as identical as twins. They also had outstanding looks, fair skin, red lips, and faces like flower petals. However, because they were standing beside the man, their beauty was overshadowed by his dazzling appearance.
Mu Zongpei slightly furrowed her brow. This man had a charming appearance and captivating looks, but he came down from the rooftop and did something that didn't match his good looks.
"I wonder when you came up here, but you didn't seem to notice at all. You hesitated and said: 'I don't know why you are on the roof of my mansion?'"
The young man swung his golden fan, and the wide sleeves of his robe fluttered lightly with his movements. His eyes, like amber-colored glass, gazed at Mu Zongpei as he turned slightly, smiling: "Oh, I've just come to admire your reputation, to see the beauty of the first lady of the Mu family."
He has a elegant demeanor, with an air of nobility that hits you in the face. His words are proper, but his tone seems careless and nonchalant, as if peeking into someone's house from the rooftop to spy on a beauty is no more significant than buying a bun from a street vendor.
Tanran's words made Mo Zongpei pause for a moment, and if this man was a flower thief, his noble demeanor didn't seem like an ordinary person. After a brief thought, the topic shifted, "Just now you said you can testify, I suppose you've been on the roof for quite some time?"
His words were laced with a hint of accusation, but to everyone's surprise, the man smiled lightly and replied, "It just so happens that I was passing by, and since you all need someone to testify, I saw everything. How could I not come forward?" His tone was calm and collected, without even a hint of guilt or shame for sneaking onto someone else's rooftop, but rather a sense of righteousness in testifying for others.
Qing Ge's eyes narrowed as she stared at the suddenly appearing handsome man. This person's sudden request to testify was unexpected, and she wondered how he would speak next. His appearance was outside of her plan, and even she hadn't noticed him on the rooftop until now. Not long after arriving here, she had already encountered two people with exceptional skills - one was the golden-masked man from the martial arts arena, and the other was this person in front of her.
His eyes gazed at the man in front of him, and he saw a deep smile in his eyes. The color of his pupils shone brightly under the sunlight, and the magnificent long gown with peony flowers embroidered on it was dazzlingly beautiful. He stood there, and people's gazes were fixed on him, so captivating, yet unexpectedly, all that could be seen was his dazzling appearance, but not what was deep within his heart.
This person is absolutely not simple...
The man finished speaking, turned around calmly, and his robes fluttered as he moved. His amber eyes met Qing's ink-colored cold eyes, with a profound meaning entwined within them.
Just now he was on the rooftop, looking at this girl, and thought she was the number one beauty of Dayong at first sight. Her eyebrows were like green feathers, her skin was as white as ice and snow, her cheeks were icy and clean, her hair was dyed with clouds, and her lips were naturally red without any makeup.
Standing alone in the courtyard, her icy beauty is like a frostless flower in full bloom. Her clear and elegant face shines brightly with a golden light, as if she were an ethereal being who has never tasted the worldly smoke and fire, untainted by even a hint of mundane vulgarity.
Not dazzling, but captivating.
Just this coarse linen garment, he knew that she was not the most favored beauty.
If ordinary people in Da Yong have such a beautiful appearance, then the number one beauty of Da Yong should shine brightly and be stunningly beautiful...
In his astonishment, he curiously stayed behind, and as a result, this girl gave him a feeling that was too different. Who would have known that a woman could be so captivatingly ruthless?
His eyes sparkled and his fan swayed gently as he said seriously, "Just now, I saw that she was the one who struck first and injured her."
The first one was a man's fan tip pointing at Yu Xiang, and the second one was Qing Ge in front of him.
Qing Ge was taken aback for a moment, this person was obviously lying with his eyes open, if he had seen everything, he would have known the truth wasn't like that. He narrowed his eyes slightly, why did he want to help her?
The man finished speaking and turned around, bringing up his sleeve to cover half of his face, his eyes slightly lowered, saying to Mu Zongpei: "That's what I saw."
Qing Ge was stunned again. The man had just turned around and said in a soft voice that only the two of them could hear, "I, I love to be a false witness."
Does he like perjury? Is he doing it on purpose just because he likes it?
The man's face remained unchanged, elegant and natural, with eyes as clear as water, a sincere expression on his face, half-closed eyes, as if sniffing the fragrance of peonies in the garden, with a hint of intoxication at the corners of his eyes.
Mu Zong Pei's eyes were fixed on the man, his gaze deep and piercing. He didn't say a word, but his expression was solemn. The way he looked, the way he behaved, at this moment, the man in front of him seemed... familiar.
Qin Yanlian woke up from the man's appearance after hearing his testimony, and now looking at the man had no initial admiration, returning to Qingge's category, beautiful eyes reignited anger, scolding: "Who are you, why help Mu Qingge!"
She suddenly turned her thoughts, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes. "You, aren't you Mo Qingge's lover? You said you came to see the number one beauty, but actually, you just want to have a secret meeting with Mo Qingge!"
Qin Yanlian's clear and cold eyes turned chilly, seeing a man would make her think of immediately slandering him as having an affair with her, truly not sparing any effort to ruin her.
"Old hag, watch your mouth! You're already ugly, but must your mouth be so foul as well? My master is not someone a repulsive woman like you can discuss!" One of the blue-clad boys stepped forward, his eyebrows inverted in anger, and scolded Qin Yannian with no mercy. His words were as sharp as a sword's tip, each one piercing Qin Yannian's heart like venom.
Qin Yanlian glanced at the little boy in blue and suddenly smiled strangely, "Are you the little boy who was just called Huarong?"
The boy in blue clothes had a clear and proud look in his eyes, his pink lips curled up, his tender voice was as crisp as a oriole's song, but the words he spat out were poisonous to the heart. "It seems you're not too old yet, at least your ears can still hear human speech."
Qin Yanlian suppressed her inner anger and asked, "You're a good boy named Hua Rong, and the one next to you who looks just like you isn't called Yue Mao, is he?"
"Hmph, you've finally gotten my brother's name right." Hua Rong glared at Qin Yanlian, not being polite in the slightest.
"You guys are men with names like Rongyue... " She turned her bright eyes, pretending to be shocked and smiled, looking at the man fanning himself in the courtyard, "No wonder, looking at your master's feminine appearance..."
Flower-like face? Moon-like complexion?
In an instant, Mu Zong Pei's mind flashed with a piece of information, he was sure he had heard it before, a pair of twins called Hua Rong Yue Miao, one with a charming and carefree personality...
It is...
What?
Yes!
In an instant, Mu Zongpei's mind flashed like lightning, and he suddenly knew who the person in front of him was. Suddenly, like a bolt of lightning, his eyes lit up like a lantern, but then he heard Qin Yelian say that sentence "male birth female appearance"......
It's all over...
