The Fake Turning Into Real Chapter 8

With Master Hetong's words, Emily Liu no longer felt like burning incense in the temple.

Qingzhi, who was following closely behind her, also seemed to be uninterested because of the weirdness of the matter.

After the group finished offering incense and were about to leave, the young monk standing at the door stepped forward and led a few people to the old monk who was interpreting the signatures.

As Fuyi got closer, he saw a pair of masters and servants who had just finished unwrapping the signatures in front of them, with their heads raised and a solemn atmosphere walking by.

There were a few faint words in the conversation between the two.

"I don't know who the person on the signature is." The boy carefully supported the man beside him, and said with excitement in his voice: "It would be great if the owner of the house could discover his fox tail. Someone who can suppress that foxy girl."

"Everything is a given. Since she believes in him, why should I..."

The old monk took the wooden sticks from several people. There were many brown spots or marks on the back of his hand, and his skin was as loose as tree bark, but his eyes when he looked at them were exceptionally clear and transparent.

It makes people trust her a little bit.

Emily Liu glanced at it, leaned against the door and closed her eyes.

She did not draw the lot after putting up the incense, but she accompanied a few people to come over to interpret the lot.

She didn't care much about the interpretation of the signature. She was more concerned about what she had said to Master Tong in that room earlier.

Born with a phoenix life and a bad star...

After a while, Emily Liu felt something sinking next to her, and then someone spoke.

"Miss Mu, aren't you going to undo the signature?"

Emily Liu opened her slightly closed eyes and looked at Grace Gu, as if to say, 'You didn't go either'.

The other party fell silent, looked at her deeply, and asked, "Miss Mu doesn't seem to want to come here?"

"Oh? Really?" Emily Liu stood up straight and looked at her. Just pretend that she thought the former was trying to be careless.

Emily Liu opened her red lips slightly and said in a lazy and joking tone: "Is it so obvious? It seems that Miss Ning Grace Gu pays close attention to me."

Grace Gu's face hardened, her lips pursed slightly, "You are thinking too much."

The former clearly didn't believe it, looking up and down at her with a teasing look in his eyes, as if he was considering the reliability of her words.

Grace Gu turned sideways unconsciously, glanced at the place where the signatures were signed, and said, "They have finished signing the signatures."

When Emily Liu saw this, she stopped teasing her. As he turned around to leave, he heard a faint exhalation.

She glanced at Grace Gu behind her from the corner of her eye, and saw that he seemed to be relieved, with a relaxed expression on his face.

The old monk at the sign office over there raised his head and looked at a few people. His eyes suddenly glanced at Grace Gu, who was at the end. He frowned and stared at it carefully, causing Grace Gu to look back before giving up.

After everyone got their own signatures, the old monk took the wooden sign from the next donor's hand and looked at it, but he was still thinking about the woman he just saw.

He couldn't help but look up at the direction where the people were leaving, and muttered: "It's so weird that a female doll has such a face."

The destiny of the Phoenix is   going to change today!

...

"Miss, there seems to be some movement in front." Qingzhi subconsciously stepped in front of Emily Liu with a stern expression.

Hearing the sound, Emily Liu looked at the bamboo forest not far away. There were several sounds of cold weapons clashing inside, as if something had happened.

"Go and have a look."

After giving the order, Qingzhi's figure immediately turned to the bamboo forest, using the bamboo forest to hide his figure.

Grace Gu withdrew her gaze from Emily Liu. She had a lot of thoughts in her heart, but she didn't show any of them on her face.

"It'll be okay." The Ning family brothers looked worried.

Faced with the worries of several brothers, Emily Liu was very confident and had great confidence in Qingzhi.

"Her martial arts will be fine." Having said that, she also walked towards the bamboo forest, "I'm going to do a favor and I'll be back soon."

"Sister." Yaodi called to Grace Gu. Seeing that she was going to the bamboo forest, he quickly held on to her sleeves.

Grace Gu turned around and didn't know what she said in Liam Ning's ear, and the latter gradually let go of his hand.

"Stay here obediently." He then turned to the four older brothers and said, "Look after Xiaoyan and wait here for us to come back."

When Grace Gu passed through the thick bamboo forest and followed the sound he heard before.

What she saw in front of her was this scene, which was completely different from what she had imagined in her mind.

It had just rained yesterday, making the soil in the bamboo forest moist, and the smell of bamboo leaves mixed with it had a refreshing fragrance.

The seven men in black lying on the ground silently revealed that all this was not such a beautiful picture.

Looking carefully, Grace Gu found that all seven of them were killed in one move, and the fatal injury was a thin mark on the neck, glowing with blood.

There was surprise in her eyes. There shouldn't be only this much blood from a fatal blow to the neck.

How come a person's carotid artery is cut open and there is only a little bit of blood?

"Is this... solved?" Grace Gu asked.

Emily Liu glanced at the master and servant beside the carriage from a distance, nodded and said: "Qingzhi arrived in time, nothing major happened. It's just that I may have been a little mentally stimulated."

After all, if you are suddenly ambushed and attacked, your heart may not be very peaceful for a period of time.

It's like a kitten that was suddenly startled by someone, then found out that it was fine, but still became alert unconsciously whenever it heard a noise.

"Qingzhi's attack was very clean and neat, but it wasn't very bloody." Grace Gu couldn't help but think of her past, when her family was framed and killed. When she returned home, what she saw was the sky full of blood.

The most familiar place in the past seems to have become the most unfamiliar, and the ground is covered with blood...

The scene really had a big impact on her at that time. Looking at it now, with the corners of Grace Gu's lips slightly raised, this scene was much better than then.

"Miss Gu, you're welcome." Qingzhi still stood respectfully behind Emily Liu, and there was obviously something unfinished in his words.

She glanced at Emily Liu, swallowed subconsciously, and said loudly: "This is not due to Qingzhi, but because of my young lady's strong martial arts, which has enabled her to kill people invisible."

When Qingzhi heard Grace Gu's words of praise for her, she faintly sensed a bad premonition.

Sure enough, when she spoke, she saw the cold eyes of His Highness from the corner of her eye, and quickly stated the facts tactfully.

Grace Gu really didn't expect that such a neat technique was done by Emily Liu, which was quite surprising.

"Miss Mu is really good at martial arts."

Emily Liu's lips curled up unnoticeably, and she said with some pride: "It's hard to say whether they are strong or not in terms of martial arts. Maybe these people are too weak. They can easily do it with just one leaf."

leaf?

In this large bamboo forest, the most indispensable thing is bamboo leaves. There are many people who use bamboo leaves as musical instruments, but it is quite rare to use them as weapons.

Especially because of the softness of the leaves, it is impossible for ordinary people to kill someone with just one leaf. What's more, the seven people who fell to the ground are not targets. They can be killed while standing still.

Grace Gu's eyes turned slightly, and she suddenly saw a touch of red slipping on the pillar of a black bamboo tree. Looking up, there are seven bamboo leaves of different sizes, neatly inserted into the pillar body, leaving only a scratch on them.

Thinking again about the fatal wound that saw the assassin die just now, the person who struck it was quick, ruthless, and accurate, so there was only a little blood on the wound.

As a result, the blood taken away by the seven bamboo leaves gathered together to form a blood stain.

Emily Liu asked the master and servant who had just calmed down next to the carriage, "Your horse was frightened and will not be able to recover for a while. The carriage is also broken like this. How about changing to another carriage?"

The master of the two spoke up and thanked him sincerely: "It's all thanks to the girl this time, otherwise we wouldn't be able to escape."

"But for carriages, there is no such place selling carriages under Yuntong Temple."

Emily Liu waved her hand, obviously not thinking this was a problem.

"If you two gentlemen don't mind, you can make do with my carriage. But I'm afraid I'll have to use your horses for a while."

While the two were being led out of the bamboo forest, the horses tied to the broken carriage were taken out by Emily Liu.

On the way back, Emily Liu rode a tamed horse and followed her carriage slowly and leisurely.

Sitting inside were the master and servant.

Emily Liu also learned their identities from the two people. At first, Emily Liu did not expect that the identities of the two people he rescued were not low, at least in this Canglan City.

The status of the city lord's official husband is not insignificant.

One master and one servant came out today to go to Yuntong Temple to offer incense on this rare and good day. However, they did not expect that as soon as they got on the carriage, several assassins jumped out, and the disturbed carriage rushed into the bamboo forest on the side.

Entering Canglan City, Shang Nian is the main husband of the city lord. Thinking of the Grace Gu of saving his life, he wanted to invite someone to the city lord's mansion to express his gratitude.

Emily Liu thought about it over and over, but it didn't matter whether he wanted to go or not.

Thinking that it would be good for her to get acquainted with the city lord, she did not refuse it quickly.

Shang Nian saw the troubled look on Emily Liu's face and secretly speculated that something might be wrong. He then said, "In a few days, the City Lord's Mansion will hold a banquet to celebrate the annual Hundred Flowers Festival."

Emily Liu understood the pronunciation of his words and did not reject it. She responded with a smile: "The Hundred Flowers Festival, I think it will be a lively scene."

"Yes, the Hundred Flowers Festival is a particularly grand festival in Canlan City. It is usually held for two to three days in the city. That scene is indeed rare to see once a year."

...

After sending the people to the gate of the city lord's palace, Shang Nian looked at Emily Liu who seemed to be attracted by the Hundred Flowers Festival, and his heart turned, but he didn't try to persuade anyone to stay.

After watching a few people leave, he turned to the young man beside him and said, "Don't talk to my wife about what happened today."

There was a bit of perseverance in Shang Nian's clear eyes.

Emily Liu and his group, who were walking away on the other side, were already wandering around Canglan City.

After leaving the carriage to Qingzhi for placement, Emily Liu took the Ning family and started touring the city.

Speaking of which, apart from Grace Gu and the second eldest son of the Ning family, no other brothers have ever been to Canglan City.

Emily Liu's eyes wandered between the brothers. As she had guessed, the other people's eyes were full of novelty.

I have never seen the Hundred Flowers Festival, but I have seen that on the day when Guanyin Bodhisattva becomes enlightened, stalls scattered around Canglan City are filled with large and small objects suitable for the occasion.

"Looking at it today, it's no worse than the Hundred Flowers Festival." Emily Liu looked at the surrounding scene and said to herself.

Unknowingly, Emily Liu and Grace Gu gradually fell to the end, seeing the happy figures of the five Ning brothers.

The former looked at the latter in confusion, as if asking her, why don't you follow me?

Grace Gu stepped forward and stared at Emily Liu coldly.

He seemed to want to ask her something, but he pursed his lips again and said nothing in the end.

Emily Liu saw her walking quickly to keep up with the brothers in front of her, and followed behind them with a calm expression.
