Chapter 700 Chapter 700: Real Life Soap Opera!
From the perfect water-controlling ability that Zhu Yan had just shown, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy was already more than 80% sure that Zhu Yan’s true identity was actually Sea Beast Princess Yan Fei.
Of course, there were also some possibilities which Zhu Yan had only mastered a water-controlling type spell at the consummation level, so Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy did not immediately conclude that Zhu Yan was 100% definitely Princess Yan Fei.
Well, it would not be funny if she kidnapped the wrong person and brought her back to meet Instructor Mei Lan, right?
If that really happened, Instructor Mei Lan might hang her upside down on the pole and beat her up so badly until all of her bones broke to pieces out of anger…
So, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy decided to observe Zhu Yan closely for a few more days to ensure she was really the Sea Beast Princess Yan Fei they were looking for.
Meanwhile, the young girl glared at Zhu Yan with red eyes as if she was getting bullied by Zhu Yan while saying in anger: “You… You… How dare you a mere peasant girl do?! I… I… I will definitely make you regret it soon!”
Zhu Yan harrumphed as she put both her hands on her waist haughtily and replied in a provocative tone: “Then we will see who will regret it later~!”
Just when the young girl who was fuming in rage wanted to bring her drenched guards and go away from there, something unexpected suddenly happened…
Gu Shengxin who brought Elder Yang to look around the entire area of the Gu Family’s mansion was attracted by the commotion they made and approached them.
The ugly grimaced expression of the young girl instantly changed into a delightful expression when she saw Gu Shengxin coming toward her.
Even Zhu Yan who was so haughty and overbearing before had changed into a shy and timid girl when she saw Gu Shengxin approaching.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy widened her eyes in shock and disbelief at their instant transformation.
It was rumored that all women had two sides, a sweet side showed to the one they fell in love with and a normal side shown to others.
Tang Li Xue scoffed at that and said it was nonsense since she herself always treated everyone in the same way.
But after seeing this scene, it seemed that she was the one who was abnormal all this time…
“Brother Sheng~!” The young girl ran toward Gu Shengxin while calling him intimately with her sweetest voice.
The perfect copy’s scalp went numb, and her body shuddered slightly in fright when she heard the young girl usual shrill unpleasant voice turn into such a sweet voice in an instant.
She thought her acting in the prison was already very perfect, and she should be worthy enough to win an Oscar, but it seems she was still too naive compared to a natural-born actress like this young girl.
Gu Shengxin smiled at the approaching young girl and asked: “Ling’er? Why did you come to Miss Zhu’s courtyard so early?”
‘Ling’er? I see… This ungrateful young lady should be Gu Shengxin’s childhood friend, Ling Shuang.’ The perfect copy concluded in her heart.
According to the information obtained by Bingbing yesterday, there were two young girls with high status currently living in the Gu Family’s mansion besides Gu Shengxin’s mother and little sister.
Ling Shuang and Zhu Yan…
Zhu Yan was a young girl who was saved by Gu Shengxin a few months ago and brought to Gu Family’s mansion by him.
It was rumored that she and Gu Shengxin had an ambiguous relationship, and they might have liked each other.
Some people also said that Zhu Yan’s background was extremely impressive and that even the Gu Family had to respect her.
Meanwhile, Ling Shuang was Gu Shengxin’s close childhood friend, and it was rumored that their parents made them verbally engaged since they were babies.
Unfortunately, the Ling Family had fallen a lot compared to the prosperous Gu Family, so no one mentioned the engagement again right now.
But it was undoubted that Gu Shengxin and Ling Shuang were still very close to each other.
Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy felt as if they were currently watching a soap opera about triangle love in real life right now.
When Ling Shuang heard Gu Shengxin’s question, she immediately put a wronged expression with pitiful tearful eyes and said: “Wuwuwuwu, Brother Sheng~! Sister Zhu just bullied me~!”
Gu Shengxin’s handsome face frowned a bit as he asked again: “Really? Stop crying, Ling’er. Maybe it was just a misunderstanding. Right, Miss Zhu?”
Zhu Yan timidly shook her head to deny it with a stammered voice: “No… Uh, I mean… Yes, it might be just a misunderstanding… I only want to…”
Before Zhu Yan could explain it clearly, Ling Shuang immediately interrupted her halfway and said: “You liar~! How can you say it was just a misunderstanding?! Brother Sheng, look at what she did to my guards~!”
Gu Shengxin frowned deeper when he saw the drenched beaten-up guards.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy shook her head helplessly.
The natural-born actress Ling Shuang held an advantage in their conversation since the very start because Zhu Yan had become a timid shy girl all of a sudden, so Ling Shuang easily steered their opinion and cornered Zhu Yan in only a few sentences.
It would be really bad if this continued, so Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy decided to say something quickly to help Zhu Yan.
‘Humph~! Aren’t you good at acting?! Then we will see who is better~! A natural-born actress or the future Oscar winner?!’ The perfect copy thought smugly.
The perfect copy put a pitiful expression as she suddenly kneeled in front of Gu Shengxin and said with a sniffling voice: “Young Master Gu, please do not blame Young Miss Zhu~! This is all my fault~!”
Gu Shengxin instantly became baffled by the suddenly kneeling perfect copy, while Ling Shuang’s wronged expression turned into an angry expression, but Gu Shengxin did now pay any attention to her right now so he did not realize it.
“You are only a servant, right? Why has it become your fault? What really happened here?” Gu Shengxin asked in confusion.
“Yes, this lowly one name is Pang Xiong, and this one is only a lowly servant working in the kitchen. The story is like this…” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy began to explain the incident clearly from the beginning.
Gu Shengxin pondered carefully for a while after he heard everything.
Even though Ling Shuang should be the one at fault in this incident, but to be honest, Gu Shengxin really did not care about the fate of this lowly servant at all.
Not to mention only cutting the hands of one servant, even if Ling Shuang wanted to dismember ten lowly servants, Gu Shengxin would not think too much about it.
For most of the immortal cultivators with high status such as the members of Gu Family, the lives of mere mortals were as worthless as those of ants.
Normally, Gu Shengxin would just order the guards to drag away this lowly servant and let Ling Shuang do whatever she wanted.
As for Zhu Yan’s feelings for that lowly servant… Gu Shengxin thought she would definitely forget about that lowly servant soon if he invited her out to date a few times.
Fortunately for Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy, Elder Yang was here right now… So, Gu Shengxin did not dare to make any rash decision which would make Elder Yang look down on him.
After considering carefully, Gu Shengxin decided to pat Ling Shuang’s head gently and said with a comforting tone: “Ling’er, this time it is your fault! You should apologize to Miss Zhu instead.”
Ling Shuang instantly pouted while looking cutely at Gu Shengxin and replied while crying sadly as if she was greatly wronged: “Brother Sheng, how could I be wrong? That lowly servant touched my chest! Only cutting off his hands could only be considered a very lenient punishment!”
The perfect copy’s mouth twitched as she thought in annoyance: ‘What the hell?! Do you really think I want to touch your small breast?! I also have those too, and our size is not that different~! Even if I want to touch, it would be much better to touch Instructor Lan’s pears rather than your small meat buns!’
Zhu Yan gritted her teeth to hold back her anger as she said with a timid voice: “But he did it to save your life…”
“Humph~! So what?! I never asked him to save me!” Ling Shuang smugly replied.
Just when Gu Shengxin was hesitating on what he must do next, Elder Yang finally stepped forward and muttered: “Hey, you were the careless servant yesterday, right? No wonder you seem a bit familiar to me.”
Gu Shengxin asked Elder Yang curiously: “Oh? Did Elder Yang know this servant?”
Elder Yang nodded his head and said: “Yes, I know him. He had helped me do something yesterday.”
