Chapter 28: Mask's Identity Revealed
"Since you have discovered it, I will not hide it from you."

"In fact, the red-faced swordsman is a senior fellow of mine from Wangquan Villa. That's why I got to know him."

Dongfang Tianyu quickly adjusted his thoughts and replied.

"What about the wind-powered sword technique that brother just used?"

Dongfang Qinlan obviously didn't believe his explanation, and a sly smile appeared on her face.

“This…well…” Dongfang Tianyu hesitated, not knowing how to respond.

"In fact, I have a good relationship with this senior brother. He taught me a few tricks in private."

Dongfang Tianyu continued to make up stories.

“Oh, I see.”

Dongfang Qinlan nodded, as if she really believed it.

"Then I'll go tell my sister right away. She seems to be very curious about the identity of the Red-Faced Swordsman."

Dongfang Qinlan suddenly turned around and prepared to leave.

"Little sister, little sister! Wait a minute!"

Dongfang Tianyu became anxious and quickly chased after her and grabbed her hand.

"Okay, I admit that I am the red-faced swordsman."

Dongfang Tianyu had no choice but to confess his true identity.

However, when Dongfang Qinlan heard Dongfang Tianyu admit that he was the Red-faced Sword Immortal, she did not show the expected excitement, but instead looked resentful.

"Brother Tianyu, how could you do this?"

There was a hint of grievance and crying in Dongfang Qinlan's voice.

"What's wrong?"

Dongfang Tianyu was shocked by her reaction and hurried forward to comfort her.

"My brother goes to Huaishui every month to meet my sister, but he has never thought of visiting Qin Lan."

Dongfang Qinlan finally expressed her dissatisfaction.

"I...I just..."

Dongfang Tianyu was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to explain.

"That's right. Qin Lan is always noisy and prone to getting into trouble. Naturally, she is not as good as her sister, so it is understandable that Brother Tianyu favors her."

As Dongfang Qinlan spoke, tears began to fall.

"nonsense!"

"You and your sister are irreplaceable in my heart."

Looking at Dongfang Qinlan who was in self-doubt, Dongfang Tianyu felt pity for her and worried that she was too entangled. He held her shoulders tightly and said in a firm tone.

Hearing Dongfang Tianyu's sincere words, the confusion in Dongfang Qinlan's eyes gradually dissipated, and the light of hope rekindled.

"Really?"

She gently wiped away the tears on her face and looked towards Dongfang Tianyu with a hint of expectation.

Dongfang Tianyu said nothing, but gently embraced Dongfang Qinlan in his arms.

Feeling Dongfang Tianyu's strong heartbeat, all the doubts in Dongfang Qinlan's heart disappeared.

"Qin Lan is Qin Lan, unique, no less talented than her sister, and no worse than anyone else."

"I will always be by your side."

Dongfang Tianyu didn't whisper in her ear until Dongfang Qinlan's emotions had completely calmed down.

Hearing this, Dongfang Qinlan's face blossomed into a satisfied smile.

The two of them hugged each other for a long time, until Dongfang Tianyu felt a slight struggle in his arms, and he slowly let go of his hand.

"I didn't expect my little sister would also know how to be shy. She has really grown up a lot."

Dongfang Tianyu looked at Dongfang Qinlan, whose face was slightly red, and couldn't help but teasing.

Dongfang Qinlan glared at Dongfang Tianyu with a hint of anger in her eyes.

Dongfang Tianyu smiled slightly, took out two strings of beautifully packaged candied haws from the storage bag, and shook them in front of Dongfang Qinlan.

Dongfang Qinlan's eyes immediately lit up and she grabbed the candied haws.

"For Tanghulu's sake, I'll let you go this time."

"But you have to come back to see me every month." "Otherwise, I will tell my sister the secret that you are the Red-Faced Swordsman."

Dongfang Qinlan was eating candied haws, but did not forget to threaten Dongfang Tianyu.

“This…I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult.”

"My brother will be going on a mission soon. He will be going to a very far place and may not come back for a long time."

Dongfang Tianyu hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.

"Is that so?"

"Can't I even go to my sister's place?"

Dongfang Qinlan asked.

Dongfang Tianyu nodded.

"When are you going to tell your sister who you really are?"

Dongfang Qinlan continued to ask, her eyes revealing a hint of concern and curiosity.

Dongfang Tianyu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and slowly replied: "When I return from this mission, I will find a suitable time to confess to her."

"I will keep this secret for you until you return."

Dongfang Qinlan smiled slightly, with a playful light in her eyes. She gently patted Dongfang Tianyu's shoulder, as if giving him a silent encouragement.

After hearing this, Dongfang Tianyu gently stroked Dongfang Qinlan's hair and looked into the distance, as if thinking about the future path.

……

"Miss, you are dressed so beautifully today. Are you going to meet someone important?"

By the Huai River, a servant from Shenhuoshan Villa placed delicious food and fine wine on a bamboo boat, and then asked Dongfang Huaizhu who was standing on the shore.

Today, Dongfang Huaizhu is still wearing a yellow and green dress, but she is wearing a layer of cloud silk on the outside, which makes her look more elegant and noble.

“Just meeting a friend.”

Dongfang Huaizhu glanced at the servant indifferently and answered with a smile.

"Then Miss, I will take my leave first."

Seeing this, the servant did not stay for long. After saying hello, he left in a hurry.

"Thanks a lot."

Dongfang Huaizhu thanked him softly, then stepped onto the bamboo boat and sailed upstream along the Huai River.

"Big Brother, the eldest lady asked me to prepare a boat for her and she has already left."

After the servant returned to Shenhuoshan Villa, he quickly found Jin Renfeng and reported to him Dongfang Huaizhu's movements.

"Then what?"

Jin Renfeng was displeased that the servant disturbed his practice because of such a small matter, and an impatient look appeared on his face.

"Then...then, the lady said she was going to meet a friend."

The servant was frightened by Jin Renfeng's expression and began to stutter.

"You disturbed my practice just for such a small matter. Are you tired of living?"

There was a fierce light in Jin Renfeng's eyes and his tone was stern.

"But...but, the young lady wore Yun Shangsi when she went out."

The servant summoned up his courage and continued.

"Cloud silk?"

Hearing these three words, Jin Renfeng's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Yes, that is the lady's most precious silk, which she only wears on important days."

the servant hastily added, trying to explain the significance.

“Where is she going to meet this friend?”

Jin Renfeng's face darkened and he asked.

"I don't know. I only know that the young lady went upstream along the Huai River."

The servant thought for a moment and then replied.
