267: Brother Su! Someone wants to kill me.

Such shadow doppelgangers were not uncommon in the Holy Dynasty, especially within the imperial family.

However, most shadows were man-made.

It wasn't difficult to change one's appearance with spiritual power, but the current doppelganger, Song Qingzhang, was a naturally grown one.

One could only say that the Major Thousand Worlds had all sorts of wonders.

What was even more coincidental was that!

Yang Yucheng saw her at this very moment… "Qingzhang greets Young Master!"

"This humble girl is indeed the Chief Courtesan here."

With her limpid eyes, Song Qingzhang continued to look at Yang Yucheng, a hint of sadness inexplicably appearing in her gaze.

Others envied her glamour, but her days as Chief Courtesan were far from peaceful, not to mention she wasn't even one.

"I've been searching for you so hard! Qingzhang!"

Suddenly, Yang Yucheng stared intently at Song Qingzhang before him, uttering words that could easily be misunderstood by others.

At this moment, Yang Yucheng's eyes were sincere, his words earnest, full of emotion and devoid of any artifice.

Before him.

Song Qingzhang was utterly bewildered, unable to react to what was happening.

Yang Yucheng continued to speak.

"Have you forgotten!"

"Thirteen years ago, that little boy by the small lake behind Zhangjiacun's back mountain? Today, I've come to redeem you!"

Yang Yucheng spoke again, not giving Song Qingzhang a chance to reply.

But at this moment, as Yang Yucheng spoke these words.

Song Qingzhang's eyes brightened, but someone else couldn't sit still.

It was True Disciple Xu Shi!

True Disciple Xu Shi pushed open the door.

Dressed in red, she strode over and directly blocked the space between Yang Yucheng and Song Qingzhang.

"Steward Yang, these words are a bit much!"

"Who are you?"

Seeing True Disciple Xu Shi, Yang Yucheng feigned ignorance and asked in deliberate anger, "Could it be that today you truly intend to offend me, Yang Yucheng! And offend the Third Elder within the Grotto-Heaven?"

Yang Yucheng didn't hesitate, immediately bringing out the backing he had just acquired to pressure her!

"This!"

True Disciple Xu Shi's face showed hesitation, "What does this have to do with the Third Elder?"

But to ask her to give up a doppelganger she had cultivated for so many years was truly a bit unwilling!

Who knew.

If Song Qingzhang left with Yang Yucheng, whether she would be like a meat bun thrown to a dog, gone forever.

Even though she had spent many years with Song Qingzhang.

But some matters were best kept within her control!

"Alas!"

Yang Yucheng did not answer the question in True Disciple Xu Shi's words.

He continued to stare intently at Song Qingzhang, his eyes full of reminiscence, "Qingzhang! Have you truly forgotten that in my childhood, I used to live in that thatched hut by the lake! My family thought I was surely going to die, so they abandoned me there."

"Only Miss Song Qingzhang!"

Yang Yucheng's tone was anxious, and his movements were even more impatient, as he grabbed Song Qingzhang's shoulders.

He continued to speak here.

"Only you, Qingzhang, cared for me day and night without rest, and my body gradually recovered. So, when I came to Qingyun Grotto-Heaven and heard news of Miss Song Qingzhang, I rushed here impatiently."

"Otherwise."

Yang Yucheng forced a bitter smile, a sadness in his expression that others couldn't describe, "Could it be that Miss Song truly believes I, Yang Yucheng, am a man who frequents places of pleasure? If that were truly the case, it wouldn't have come to this!"

"I am still a virgin."

Yang Yucheng spoke softly.

This was the biggest explanation.

"And you!"

At this point, Yang Yucheng seemed to belatedly react.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

"And who are you? How dare you block this Steward? You're nothing more than a courtesan from the Hongyan Tower. One more of you doesn't matter, one less doesn't either."

"If you dare to come forward again, what's the harm in killing you today?"

Yang Yucheng naturally knew that the identity of the person before him was certainly extraordinary, not ordinary.

But so what?

Su Ran was still on the second floor; his Spirit Venerable Realm was not to be trifled with.

This woman before him was only in the Spirit Venerable Realm, not yet a Spirit Ancestor, so he had a way to retreat safely and a reliance!

"Kill me?"

The somewhat dazed True Disciple Xu Shi immediately sneered.

Her expression was even more sharp, "Not to mention you, even Su Ran wouldn't dare to be so arrogant!"

"This humble girl is True Disciple Xu Shi, a True Disciple of Qingyun Grotto-Heaven. I wonder if Steward Yang intends to kill me today, or not?"

True Disciple Xu Shi revealed her identity.

Facing a True Disciple, Yang Yucheng wouldn't be foolish enough to directly clash with her.

He chose the great summoning technique!

"Senior Brother Su!"

"Senior Brother Su, help! Someone is trying to kill me!"

Yang Yucheng turned around and, without a word, began to shout loudly in front of the two women, Song Qingzhang and True Disciple Xu Shi, without the slightest hesitation or doubt.

And such an action really made the two women a bit dumbfounded!

Yang Yucheng's actions were completely at odds with his previous image of being in control and calm, truly not fitting at all!

"Junior Brother Yang!"

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, and with a flash, he appeared on the third floor, standing beside Yang Yucheng.

"Junior Brother, don't worry, with Senior Brother here! A mere Hongyan Tower is no big deal! Who is it, exactly?"

"Today, this Young Master is truly curious, who dares to bully my Junior Brother Yang like this!"

Su Ran walked forward with his hands behind his back.

He narrowed his eyes, unable to tolerate anyone in his sight!

"It's me!"

True Disciple Xu Shi's face was expressionless, and two big words blurted out!

Seeing the person before him, Su Ran's pupils constricted deeply, and then his expression became somewhat stiff.

Su Ran looked awkward.

"Hahahahaha!"

His laughter eased the atmosphere, his face showing a hint of awkwardness, "I thought it was someone else! It turns out to be True Disciple Xu Shi, our most outstanding female True Disciple of Qingyun Grotto-Heaven."

"As fellow True Disciples, why must you be like this?"

"Just now, what exactly did Junior Brother Yang do wrong? To make you want to strike such a harsh blow against him? Could it be that you, True Disciple Xu Shi, are unaware of what happened on the first floor earlier?"

Su Ran knew!

He didn't have the face to make True Disciple Xu Shi retreat just like that.

But Third Elder Sister, Third Elder Luo Hongmei, definitely could!

"Heh heh!"

True Disciple Xu Shi sneered repeatedly!

She glared angrily at Yang Yucheng, who was hiding behind Su Ran, "If it weren't for this matter, do you think he would still be alive now?"

"So it's Senior Sister True Disciple Xu Shi!"

Yang Yucheng stepped out, not wanting to keep hiding behind a man!

He chuckled softly, his smile returning to its calm demeanor.

"I apologize for any offense earlier, Senior Sister True Disciple Xu Shi, please forgive me!"

Then, Yang Yucheng turned around and began to explain to Su Ran, "Just now, Junior Brother, I merely wanted to redeem this courtesan young lady."

"But who would have thought that Senior Sister True Disciple Xu Shi suddenly came out and said no, even showing a tendency to make a move."

"So!"
