Chapter 479: Who Does Chen Chaoyan Resemble?
Lin Fengmian felt a bit overwhelmed.
He had just pulled off a “Switching the Prince” scheme, and now he was being asked to find someone to impersonate another person?
However, from the snippets of conversation between Chen Linshi and You Yao, Lin Fengmian pieced together some fragments of the situation.
The Chen family probably served Jun Wuxie’s mysterious master.
What’s more, the relationship between Chen Chaoyan and Jun Wuxie wasn’t as strained as outsiders believed.
These were all smokescreens released to the public, ensuring that when Chen Chaoyan eventually helped Jun Wuxie, it wouldn’t raise suspicion.
Although Lin Fengmian didn’t have the full picture, it was highly likely that this matter was related to the upcoming Heavenly Fiend Hall selection.
And now, Chen Chaoyan had failed to make her breakthrough at this critical moment, disrupting the master’s plans.
The fact that Chen Linshi dared to suggest finding a replacement and was confident that the master could change the blood imprint in the Heavenly Execution Order was quite intriguing.
Jun Wuxie’s master must have an important position in the Heavenly Grace King’s palace!
At this moment, Lin Fengmian had a sudden flash of insight. Chen Chaoyan seemed to have ice spiritual roots, didn’t she?
After a moment of contemplation, he said, “Patriarch Chen, provide me with a portrait and detailed information about Miss Chen. I’ll see if I can find a suitable candidate.”
Chen Linshi, clearly prepared, immediately handed over a portrait of Chen Chaoyan and a storage ring.
“Your Highness, this is Yan’er’s portrait and information, as well as some of her personal belongings.”
Lin Fengmian slowly unrolled the portrait, revealing Chen Chaoyan without her veil, showing her true face.
The woman in the portrait was strikingly beautiful, tall and curvaceous, with a classic combination of pale skin, delicate features, and long legs.
Although her demeanor was cold, her alluring figure gave her an air of both innocence and seduction, making her extremely captivating to men.
Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but smile at the sight. He then picked up the jade slip containing the information Chen Linsi had provided and skimmed through it.
Sword Dao!
Ice Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Roots!
At this moment, an idea struck him – a bold one!
“I need to consult my master first. You must keep this matter tightly under wraps. Don’t let anyone find out.”
Chen Linshi nodded repeatedly. “Your Highness, rest assured. I’ve already dealt with all those who knew.”
Lin Fengmian acknowledged with a hum and gestured for Chen Linshi to leave. “Very well. You may go. I’ll give you an answer as soon as possible.”
Chen Linshi stood up and bowed. “Then I will await Your Highness’s good news.”
After seeing Chen Linshi off, Lin Fengmian turned to You Yao and asked, “What do you think about this?”
You Yao’s tone was strange. “Chen Chaoyan’s sudden death – could it be that your relationship with the Chen family has been exposed?”
Lin Fengmian nonchalantly replied, “There’s no use overthinking it now. The priority is to find a suitable candidate as soon as possible.”
You Yao frowned. “Ice Attribute Heavenly Spirit Roots are extremely rare. Finding one is like looking for a needle in a haystack.”
Lin Fengmian nodded. “Prepare to search for a suitable candidate. I’ll also go ask Sect Leader Shangguan.”
You Yao was taken aback. “The Joyful Union Sect?”
Lin Fengmian casually said, “The Joyful Union Sect has many women who are skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. There might be someone who fits the criteria.”
You Yao scoffed. “Then go ask!”
She didn’t believe for a second that the Joyful Union Sect would have such a prodigy, let alone be willing to hand them over.
“Worth a try, right? What if there is one?”
Lin Fengmian stood up with a smile. “It’s getting late. Let’s head to the Heavenly Deception Sect.”
Elder Ming tried to dissuade him. “Your Highness, with Chen Chaoyan’s death, it seems that someone is targeting you. Perhaps you shouldn’t go to the Heavenly Deception Sect.”
Lin Fengmian’s expression turned cold. “My decision is final. No more objections!”
Seeing that Lin Fengmian had no intention of changing his mind, Elder Ming and You Yao could only sigh and give the order to set off.
A quarter of an hour later, five massive black warships took off from the villa, forming a fleet that headed toward the Heavenly Deception Sect.
On the central warship, Lin Fengmian, acting like a typical spoiled noble, casually strolled around with Shangguan Qiong in his arms, showing off the ship.
In reality, both of them were inwardly terrified as they observed the densely packed black-armored shadow guards on the ship.
With such a formidable defense force, if Jun Wuxie hadn’t been blinded by greed and lust, it would have been nearly impossible for the Joyful Union Sect to replace him.
Pretending to be nonchalant, Lin Fengmian took Shangguan Qiong on a tour of the ship before excusing himself to return to his room for some rest.
After all, what was the point of being on a ship when the bed was so much more fun?
As soon as Shangguan Qiong entered the room, she quickly set up a soundproof barrier, letting out a long sigh of relief.
She had been worried that You Yao wouldn’t allow her to set up the barrier, which would have left her at the mercy of Lin Fengmian’s antics once again.
But whether it was because Lin Fengmian had scolded You Yao or because she had let down her guard around Shangguan Qiong, You Yao surprisingly didn’t stop her this time.
Lin Fengmian looked at the overly cautious Shangguan Qiong and chuckled helplessly. “Sect leader, do you really need to be so wary of me?”
It seemed that his earlier “attacks” had left her as jumpy as a startled bird.
Shangguan Qiong put on her sect leader’s demeanor and coldly said, “Lin Fengmian, don’t even think about touching me today!”
Lin Fengmian didn’t dare push her too far, as he knew that he was no match for her within the confines of the barrier.
He said calmly, “Sect leader, you’re overthinking it. I have something important to discuss with you.”
He then explained the situation with Chen Chaoyan in detail, leaving Shangguan Qiong with a headache.
Only now did she realize that Jun Wuxie’s seemingly simple relationships were actually incredibly complex.
What they knew was just the tip of the iceberg.
Indeed, it wasn’t easy to impersonate a member of the royal family.
But the rice was already cooked – could they really apologize to Jun Wuxie and admit their mistake?
His lost “little brother” wasn’t coming back!
It had turned to ash.
Lin Fengmian said gravely, “If I’m not mistaken, they wanted Chen Chaoyan to help me pass this selection!”
Shangguan Qiong hesitated. “You mean she was a plant?”
Lin Fengmian nodded and took out Chen Chaoyan’s portrait, unrolling it.
“Sect Leader, who does Chen Chaoyan resemble?”
Shangguan Qiong examined it closely and said uncertainly, “She looks a bit like Chen Qingyan. Chen Qingyan is prettier, but her chest doesn’t seem as big?”
Lin Fengmian seriously shook his head. “You’re wrong! Chen Chaoyan’s chest is clearly padded.”
“Senior Sister Chen’s real size is much bigger. She just hides it well, keeping a low profile.”
He had firsthand experience to back this up, having “measured” her during their time in the cave.
Shangguan Qiong stared at him in shock. “How do you know that?”
Lin Fengmian grinned. “Guess?”
Shangguan Qiong was stunned. Wasn’t that girl practicing the Heartbreak Technique?
But after a moment, she realized that that wasn’t the point at all.
She looked at Lin Fengmian and said seriously, “Do you want Chen Qingyan to impersonate her?”
Lin Fengmian nodded. “Exactly. Rather than having another spy around, it’s better to have Senior Sister Chen help me. At least she’s one of us.”
Shangguan Qiong sneered. “Do you think I don’t know what you really want?”
“Don’t even think about it. I won’t give you Chen Qingyan!”
Chen Qingyan was a rare Ice Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Roots prodigy, one of the Joyful Union Sect’s top talents. How could Shangguan Qiong possibly part with her?
Moreover, from the way Lin Fengmian spoke, it was clear that Chen Qingyan had some feelings for him.
After all, he had already “measured” her!
This was like sending a lamb to the slaughter.
If Lin Fengmian got carried away in the heat of the moment, one thrust of his “spear” and Chen Qingyan would be ruined.
She had to nip this potential romance in the bud!
