Chapter 420: She Is Indeed Not Worthy To Be A Feng
“You were ten that year, but you don’t know what the traitor looked like? How about his age or features?”
Shang Chengle shook his head. “I don’t know. In the firelight, I overheard two people talking. That’s how I knew the traitor had colluded with the Flying Frost Pavilion to exterminate the Shang Family.”
During that incident, he had hidden in a secret corner and watched, with his own two eyes, people from his tribe getting killed in front of him. Blood had spurted out everywhere, tainting his vision with red. Amidst the raging fire, he remembered seeing two figures rummaging through the chests and cupboards.
Eventually, they came to where he was hiding, and he saw two pairs of legs close up. If not for the burning beam that fell and obstructed their path, he would have been discovered and killed, losing his only chance to get revenge.
“Don’t be reckless and avoid getting exposed. I will investigate the matter.” After saying those words, Feng Tianlan left in a flash.
Looking in the direction Feng Tianlan departed, Shang Chengle clenched his fists tightly. His eyes turned blood red. He indeed did not bet on the wrong person. She really fulfilled her promise and came to the Flying Frost Pavilion. He became certain that she will help him take revenge within three years.
Feng Tianlan avoided the guards along the way and returned to the Yanyue Building. However, when she raised her head and looked across the corridor to the third floor, she saw Gu Nansheng in her undergarments, staring at her from above. Her eyes were filled with questions, and it looked like she had been waiting specifically for her to show up.
Feng Tianlan’s heart palpitated. Was she the one who discovered that someone had been roaming around the Flying Frost Pavilion at night?
But Gu Nansheng just glanced at her in superior disdain, then turned around and went back to her room. Feng Tianlan had no means of interrogating her. Moreover, Gu Nansheng hadn’t discovered it was her. It was as if she came out to gaze upon the moon after waking up halfway through the night.
Feng Tianlan remained a little puzzled as she went to her room, unable to figure out what’s up with Gu Nansheng’s attitude.
For the next few days, due to the change in the guards’ shift schedules and to avoid the old man pestering her again, Feng Tianlan did not go out. She focused on practicing in the Pill Scroll Realm. Hence, everyone concluded that she was just a sleepyhead.

The disciples that the Flying Frost Pavilion had taken in this year had all arrived. They were to gather at the Martial Training Square today to go through the Spiritual force and talent test to decide which sect they would belong to.
As they arrived at the Martial Training Square, Luo Yunzhu was pulled away by an enthusiastic girl next door so Feng Tianlan had no choice but to follow along. It had been a few days since the night she saw Gu Nansheng.
Gu Nansheng draped a sable across her shoulder, looking graceful and luxurious. She looked at Feng Tianlan with faint interest. “What is your name?”
“Feng Tianlan.” Feng Tianlan raised her head and met Gu Nansheng’s gaze. She had not communicated with Gu Nansheng since that night. Besides, it looked like she had forgotten about what happened.
After hearing her name, Gu Nansheng raised her eyebrows in amusement. She sized her up. “No wonder you were bullied after you just arrived. So you are Feng Tianlan.’
Feng Tianlan’s eyes flickered slightly at the odd way she was described with unpleasant sounding words.
“You are Feng Xiupei’s sister, I have heard about you a long time ago. Who would expect that you will come to the Flying Frost Pavilion as well? This is a surprise.” Gu Nansheng sounded quite excited as she spoke. After all, she was the South Winds Nation’s famous useless Feng daughter. This had been spread across Guiyuan Continent years ago, therefore, it’s hard to find someone who did not know about it.
Feng Tianlan knew the part of her past that Gu Nansheng was referring to. She didn’t bother to explain much and just corrected her quickly, “Tu Xiupei had been expelled from the Feng Manor a long while ago. She is not worthy of the Feng surname, so it had been taken away from her. Therefore she is not Feng Xiupei anymore.”
“Tu Xiupei?” Gu Nansheng eyebrows shot up even higher on her forehead. “She is indeed not worthy to be a Feng! It’s just that the Flying Frost Pavilion still doesn’t know about this matter yet.” She should start letting people know about this.
