Chapter 1659: The Stranger’s Approach

While she was sizing him up, the man was already staring at the portrait in her hand. He asked, “Miss, are you looking for your sister?”

“Has Little Mister seen her before?” Although he seemed amiable, Feng Tianlan still remained vigilant and guarded against strangers.

The man’s gaze moved away from the portrait and landed on her face. “I haven’t seen her in person, but ten years ago, I saw her portrait.”

“Hmm?” Feng Tianlan looked at him in confusion. Her mother had only arrived at the Wushang Continent a year ago. It was impossible for her portrait to appear here. Did this man think that she was gullible and wanted to cheat her?

The man seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He chuckled helplessly and said, “I don’t look like a liar either. Miss, you don’t have to think of me that way. There’s no need to be on guard against me.”

“You said that she was my sister. If it was ten years ago, we would only be children. Your words are somewhat contradictory.” Therefore, it would be strange if he was not a liar, wouldn’t it?

The man was amused by her words and laughed heartily. “I think she is very young. However, in the portrait I saw ten years ago, she was even younger than this.”

He had seen her holding the portrait and asking around for three days. At first, he did not manage to see the portrait clearly. He ordered the servants to investigate when she had finally appeared again. It was after looking at a copy of the portrait by another artist that he remembered that he had seen this painting before.

With such an excellent chance to make her acquaintance, he naturally would not miss the opportunity to get close to her.

“Then Little Mister, why don’t you tell me where you saw the portrait?” Feng Tianlan did not want to tell him more, but regardless of whether his words were true, she would just give it a shot.

The man smiled and pointed to the highest mountain outside the county city. “There, Illusory Mountain.”

“Illusory Mountain?” Feng Tianlan frowned. Wasn’t that the Spirit Sword Mountain Villa’s place? The terrain there was strange, and it had many traps set up, making it very difficult for outsiders to break in.

“Ten years ago, I was invited by the Spirit Sword Mountain Villa and got to know the Young Manor Head, who is the current Manor Head, and inadvertently saw this Lady’s portrait.”

This time, the man wasn’t lying. Ten years ago, he did indeed see this portrait, but it was more lively. The woman in the portrait was younger and more beautiful, probably because it did not come from the same artist.

Regardless of whether the man was lying or telling the truth, Feng Tianlan nodded her head and said stand-offishly, “Thank you.”

Be it the truth or a lie, she still needed to make a trip to the Spirit Sword Mountain Villa. Now that she heard this news, she absolutely had to make the trip, even though she did not really believe his words.

The man looked at Feng Tianlan’s departing figure and didn’t follow her. He indifferently instructed the people beside him, “Pass a message to the Spirit Sword Mountain Villa. I’m going to pay a visit to Manor Head Shen.”

He wanted to ask for more information about the woman in the portrait so that he could get closer to Feng Tianlan. If he could help her find this woman, that would be even better.

Feng Tianlan rode on White cutie-pie and flew straight to the Spirit Sword Mountain Villa. Originally, she wanted to enter from above, but there was a force field barrier in the air that prevented her from entering that way. Moreover, she was here to look for someone, not to cause trouble, so she couldn’t use the Ice Soul Sword to break the force field. She could only stop at the foot of the Mountain.

“Cousin, wait for me… Ah!”

The young girl dressed in yellow bumped into the back of the man in front of her. Just as she was about to ask what was wrong, she saw the handsome and elegant man in front of her looking in a certain direction with eyes full of amazement. She couldn’t help but look over as well..
