Simply Trading 267 In The Empire Of Yang 4

But the girls in the strange uniform that Qin Feng had never seen before were still in front of them, and pointing their swords in his direction. They looked nothing like Xu Yanzhi or Xu Qinghua at all. At least, their garb and their weapons didn't match what those two were wearing, when he first met them down in the South. Or what Xu Yanzhi had on, when he saw her again.

The insignia that they had embroidered on the lapels of their robes, however, was similar to the white swallow crests that he had seen Xu Yanzhi wear though. Just not as elaborate. So did that mean they were Outer Court disciples of the Snow Swallow Palace then?

Which was enough to make him suspicious of the lot. Perhaps he should just smack them all down, and beat the answers out of them instead?

In fact, he was already taking in his Breath, ready to charge out and slap them all to the ground. Unfortunately, Lin Liushui had stepped out first, and dipped into a bow. Trust the good-looking fellow to try to sweet-talk the ladies! As if he could have them all eating out of his hands with just a little bit of effort?

However, it did allow Qin Feng to have an opportunity to step back, and to bring his temper back under control. Why was he so agitated earlier? Was he really losing his patience with Lin Liushui and his idiotic manners? Or did it have something to do with Xu Yanzhi?

Why did everyone have to keep bringing that stupid b*tch up anyway? Didn't he already make it clear that he wanted nothing better than to slap her until she cried for her mother?

And how is it that Lin Liushui thought that he could get away with bringing her up, while he had to watch what he said about his beloved? That was just a little too much, wasn't it? Why did he have to be the only one to watch his words?

Then he scowled at the handsome fellow, who seemed to be enjoying better success with the women than Qin Feng had expected. Was it really a mistake of Lin Liushui's? To have brought up Xu Yanzhi like that? Or had it been a ploy, to test out these women?

Qin Feng didn't know, but he was starting to understand why Du Yan had always considered Lin Liushui the most annoying fellow that he had ever known. In fact, Qin Feng was starting to feel the same way!

Perhaps it had something to do how the handsome fellow was picking on him now, since Du Yan was not about? He would have to find a way to smack Lin Liushui awake, if that was so. After all, the gallant was relying on him to get them into the Snow Swallow Palace, wasn't he?

Then he hurried to listen in on what Lin Liushui was saying, to the women. Who knows what sort of trouble the handsome man would get him into, if he did not pay attention?

Fortunately for Qin Feng, Li Changhai had the same worry, and was staying close to the good-looking fellow. And keeping tabs on what was gus.h.i.+ng out from between his lips. From the glance that the Second Ducal Prince threw him, Qin Feng had the impression that Li Changhai was more or less confident that Lin Liushui had not thrown out any erroneous statements. At least, none of those that would hint at a relations.h.i.+p between Qin Feng and Xu Yanzhi.

So Qin Feng began to relax a little. It seemed Lin Liushui had his priorities straight; getting into the Snow Swallow Palace was more important to him now, wasn't it? And that depended on his staying on Qin Feng's good side.

But he did not expect the Snow Swallow Palace's disciples to react as they did, when they heard his name!

"Wait! Wait a moment."

The one leading the girls stepped back from Lin Liushui, the moment that the latter began to introduce his companions, and pointed a finger at Qin Feng the moment that the gallant mentioned his name. The look of utter surprise on her face could not be missed, on top of that.

Then she hurriedly pulled her hand away, and dipped into a shallow bow, in the martial manner. As though to apologize for her rather rude gesticulation moments ago. Her face held a bit of blush too, when she looked up at him again.

"You are Qin Feng? The one who ... You have met our Senior Disciple Sister Xu Yanzhi then? You are the one who had ... the one who knows the White Jade Beauty's Hands? That Qin Feng?"

Qin Feng had to fight to keep the scowl from appearing on his brow. What sort of reaction was this? Why were they all looking at him as though he was a monster? For a moment, he was tempted to shout at the girl. But he held himself back quickly.

Or perhaps it was not him entirely? She had mentioned the White Jade Hands, so it was possible that it was that particular martial art that had made them react in such a manner. After all, between Xu Qinghua and Xu Yanzhi, it should have drawn quite a bit of attention. And he had just pa.s.sed those two new stances to Xu Yanzhi. So it was possible that she had gotten back and started to show them off already.

Knowing how significant those new stances were to the Snow Swallow Palace, it wasn't completely impossible that Xu Yanzhi had mentioned his name.

Then there was Elder Ling and his request for a visit to the Palace. So y=that might account for why the girl was looking at him as though he had three heads and six arms*.

In fact, that would explain why all of the Snow Swallow Mountain Palace disciples were all looking at him with such a feverish aura in their eyes.

Which was why Qin Feng had decided to play up his gentlemanly manners once again. And dipped into a courteous bow back at the girls. It was a little earlier than he had expected, to meet with disciples from the Snow Swallow Palace who knew about his little fight with Xu Yanzhi. But he was not above exploiting the situation as it stood. After all, he did wish for rumors of his 'unusual' relations.h.i.+p with her to spread, and spread quickly!

But a shadow fell across his bent form immediately, and Qin Feng was shocked to see that the Second Ducal Prince, still clad in his bodyguard's attire, had stepped in front of him! Or to be more precise, between him and the group of Snow Swallow Palace girls.

That was certainly unexpected! What was going on?
