Chapter 708 "A Good Play's Opening (3)"

Just because she’s Bai Yan?

While Mu Leng was still trying to make sense of that statement, the womanizer had already come before Bai Yan's presence. His eyes were showing traces of grievance: “Why did you cover your face that day, is because you were afraid of me recognizing you? I actually couldn't be certain if it was really you on the dragon boat that day, but now that I've seen you in person, I'm absolutely certain without a doubt."

He knows this woman beforehand?

She was only skeptical at first but now its downright ugly in the face. Mu Leng simply couldn't expect them both to know each other, let alone be able to make a reunion in a situation like this.

Muzhen's expression wasn't looking good either. Seething with anger, the old beauty comments using the most sarcastic tone she could muster: "So its Second Young Master's old lover, no wonder you would deceive your own parents. I know you are a philanderer, but what you are doing now will harm the Misty Fairy House!"

“Shut up!”

Several loud shouts rang out at the same time.

In addition to the Zhongnan and his younger brother Zhongbei, there's also the womanizer's own mother Jun Tian Yue. The madam directly stepped in front of the old b.i.t.c.h's face and swung her hand to give a loud smacking SLAP!!

“Out of respect for saving my eldest back then, I've endured your parade for all these years. Now you got the audacity to blemish my second son? You think I, as his mother, wouldn't know his personality the best? Even if he's more dastardly in his womanizing, he would never lie to me!"

Covering her own face, Muzhen's eye were filled with waves of loathsome anger.

The womanizer as well, he was fuming right up to his head. If he wasn't so much weaker than this old hag then he would've ran over himself to send a few slaps of his own.

“Muzhen, are you trying to see me dead? If you say another word then don't blame me!"

Don't joke around! That year this ill-tempered girl nearly castrated me just for teasing her. Now someone is brave enough to say she's my lover? I still want to live a nice long life!

“Now that all the players are here, it's time we began the show." Turning to gaze down at Muzhen with her frosty glare, Bai Yan's lip had arched into a devious smirk: "It's actually quite easy to determine if that girl over there is Huan Yin's savior. Just have Xun Huan here ask her a few questions."

Flabbergasted at the suggestion, the womanizer didn't get what's going on.

Why have me ask her a few questions? What good would that do?

But upon contact with Bai Yan's menacing gaze, the squeamish man hastened to carry out the task.

“If Yan Yan is opening her mouth then I can only begin." Making a few coughs to clear his throat, "First off, what color of dress did you wear that day?"

Ho Cui Cui didn't answer, only making a bewildered look.

What does this have to do with being Huan Yin's savior?

Bai Yan too was going dark in the face,

This man… he's still as shameless as ever.

“It looks like you can't answer my first question," the womanizer grew serious.

“I…” getting sweaty in the forehead, He Cui Cui had wanted to defend herself when she was cut off.

“Second question, what time did you board the s.h.i.+p?”

The boarding time of each partic.i.p.ant should've been recorded in the books. The fact that Muzhen and Mu Leng didn't bother to bring those up was very suspicious in itself. And sure enough, the imposter was left wordless.

“Fine then, the fact that you can't answer either of my questions is enough to tell me the answer I need. But as a benefit of a doubt, I will ask the third question." Clearing his throat so his words couldn't be misheard, "What method did you use to cure Huan Yin's condition?"

Now this time Ho Cui Cui knew the answer. Inwardly, she was very much relieved at her own luck.
