Chapter 159: Chapter 158: Sword Heart’s Legacy (Part 5)_1
In tis of crisis, extraordinary asures must be employed.
Lanaia explicitly ntioned that I should “find Director Li to report,” which clearly ans that I must see him in person.
Once the plan was confird, Fu Qian wasted no ti and headed straight for the Swordsmanship Departnt’s territory.
Although each departnt is a separate system, under normal circumstances they can still communicate with each other; that’s why Fu Qian could run straight to the entrance of the Sword Pavilion.
However, core areas like the interior of the Sword Pavilion are not open to the public.
Even when he had obtained a set of clothes before, he only moved around on the periphery.
At this mont, most of the students were still at the Sword Pavilion, ditating and contemplating, so the inside of the Swordsmanship Departnt was quite quiet.
I must say, compared to the vibe of Heaven’s Comncent Institute, this place feels completely different.
I left in a hurry last ti and didn’t observe carefully.
The Heaven’s Comncent Institute is basically like a large laboratory, with a very modern layout.
The Swordsmanship Departnt, on the other hand, has beautifully crafted buildings and is full of charm, inexplicably reminding one of the concept of swordsmanship and Enlightennt.
Looking around as he walked, Fu Qian quickly found a secluded spot.
Seeing no one around, Fu Qian first put on the clothes again, then closed his eyes.
He recalled the students he had encountered before in the Sword Pavilion and chose the most inconspicuous one of them all.
The next mont, his facial features started to change rapidly, and in less than half a minute, he had adopted a completely different appearance.
After days of practice, Fu Qian’s skill in changing faces had beco impeccable.
As long as he had seen the person, he could generally imitate them to a high degree of accuracy.
According to the data checked before, the Sword Pavilion opens once a year, each ti for seven days, with five hours allowed for entry each day.
Considering this rare opportunity and the fact that it wasn’t over yet, very few students were willing to co out.
So no matter who he beca, the chances of running into the actual person were slim.
All he had to do was take advantage of this ti to sneak in quietly and find out where Li Weixuan was in retreat.
Everything went very smoothly.
After changing his appearance, Fu Qian quickly blended into the core area of the Swordsmanship Departnt, and began to search for Li Weixuan’s secluded spot.
Having roughly confird his direction and seeing his destination right before his eyes, Fu Qian caught sight of an unexpected person.
Ji Liushuang, why was she here?
This forr teammate was walking slowly ahead, appearing sowhat distracted.
On such an important day when the Sword Pavilion is open, aren’t you, the diligent student, supposed to be imrsed in deep contemplation and understanding? Instead, you’re here slacking off?
Although it was odd to see Ji Liushuang here, Fu Qian wasn’t interested in finding out why; he had serious business to tend to.
Concealing his presence and maintaining an unhurried pace, Fu Qian casually walked forward, soon passing by Ji Liushuang.
Hmm?
However, just as he brushed past her, Fu Qian felt a surge of aura lock onto him.
The previously distracted Ji Liushuang suddenly looked up, as if she had realized sothing.
“Stop, who are you?”
Ji Liushuang’s icy voice ca from behind.
You have so exaggerated ability there, to recognize like this?
Fu Qian stopped, turned around slowly, and looked at Ji Liushuang.
At this point, the uncertainty in her eyes had vanished, and she was staring at him with a severe gaze.
“You’re not Tong Minghui.”
“Who are you? Why are you impersonating a Swordsmanship Departnt student to sneak in here?”
Fu Qian saw that Ji Liushuang was already holding the Sword Bell in her hand, ready to activate it at a mont’s discord.
From previous encounters, this sister could be described as resolute in her actions; this gesture was not just for intimidation.
If he gave any suspicious answer, she would definitely call others over.
And being discovered in this guise would undoubtedly lead to so trouble.
Killing to silence her? No need for that!
Fu Qian thought for a mont, then wiped his hand across his face, reverting to his original appearance.
As expected, Ji Liushuang’s gaze remained puzzled; this face was completely unfamiliar to her.
It seems that due to the Angel of Comfort, the identity of Fu Qian as a student had been thoroughly erased.
Not recognizing him was good, it gave him plenty of room to improvise.
Alas!
Fu Qian didn’t answer Ji Liushuang’s question but instead let out a long, wistful sigh.
“I had only planned to take a glance before leaving.”
“Liushuang, truly a beautiful na.”
He looked at Ji Liushuang with a gaze that was deeply affectionate yet filled with regret.
“Ti flies so quickly, you’ve grown so much.”
“Your mother… is she doing well?”
…
Upon hearing Fu Qian’s words, Ji Liushuang was clearly confused, not expecting this man to inquire about her mother.
“Who… who are you, exactly?”
Although Ji Liushuang still frowned, her tone had slowed down.
Fu Qian still didn’t answer her, instead, he looked her up and down, his face full of emotion.
“I never imagined she would actually na you Liushuang!”
“She used to love that flower so much, always wandering off in the moonlight, impossible to call back.”
“Back then, I joked about using it as a na for our child soday, but I never thought she’d take it seriously.”
…
It’s working!
Observing the bewildered Ji Liushuang, Fu Qian silently nodded.
Not long ago, when he used the “ssenger” mask to enter this world, he had spent an afternoon in a bookstore.
During that ti, he casually gathered information about this world and spotted the na of his forr teammate in a piece of gossip news.
The largest financial conglorate of the Federation, with Ji Xue as the eldest princess holding the first right of inheritance, had run away from ho dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by her family and had returned years later with a baby.
Although the Ji Family later acknowledged this child, they still saw it as a great humiliation and confined Ji Xue to the house ever since, with very few appearances.
That baby was Ji Liushuang, and the identity of her father remained unknown to this day.
These details, coupled with the wish she had ntioned in the Angel of Comfort, were enough to bluff her.
“I even made a special trip to the Sword Pavilion just now, but unfortunately, I was driven out before I could find you.”
Fu Qian’s face held a relieved smile.
“I wasn’t convinced, so I snuck back in… luckily I did!”
…
Ji Liushuang was completely bewildered.
With this narrative, was he implying that he was her father?
He looked even younger than her, which was absurd!
Yet he knew about her mother’s liking for Frost Blooms and even her moonlit walks.
“Is it because of how I look?”
As if realizing sothing, Fu Qian gestured across his face.
“It’s just a little sorcery that makes appear younger than I actually am, especially to those from the Swordsmanship Departnt.”
“You’re doing well now… very well.”
Fu Qian gazed at Ji Liushuang with “deep affection.”
For so reason, he felt that she had gained sothing extra since their last eting.
