At this time, Wu Yu and Gu Liu Feng both walked up and stood behind Hexi, but when they saw the woman in the scroll’s appearance, they sucked in a cold breath.

This woman’s phoenix eyes, perfect and jade-like skin resembled Jiutian Xuannu 1, as if she (Jiutian Xuannu) had come back down to the secular world.

But what was the most shocking was that this woman’s appearance was seventy-eight percent the same as Hexi’s. Looking closely at Hexi, people could almost image Hexi in woman’s clothing.

Gu Liu Feng’s eyes held enthusiasm and shock, but he quickly pushed his feelings away, forcibly suppressing his throbbing heart.

Wu Yu couldn’t help but exclaim out in surprise, “This isn’t……” His family’s wangfei, right?!

He looked at Nangong Yu, then at Hexi and saw that his Master’s facial expression remained unperturbed. Not only that, his tender eyes never once stopped looking at Hexi.

Hexi already knew that the woman in the scroll was this body’s mother– – An Lingyue.

However, Hexi looked towards Nalan Yanming and indifferently asked, “Who is this?”

Nalan Yanming said at once, “You…… You first must save me! As long as you save my life, I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”

Hexi sneered at him, looking at him condescendingly.

“I don’t accept your deal!”

Finished speaking, Hexi turned and began to walk away. Seeing her carefree appearance, Nalan Yanming panicked. He hurriedly walked two steps forward, loudly saying, “I’ll talk! I’ll talk! This is An Lingyue. She is the concubine of the current head of Nalan family, Nalan Zhengzu.

Slowing down, Nalan Yanming lowered his voice and with a dignified look, he slowly said, “And you, you’re most likely the child that Nalan Family lost more than ten years before– – Nalan Ziyun!”

Hexi’s heart was slightly moved but her face remained unmoved. She sneered, “Nalan Ziyun? Do you take me as a three-year-old child, thinking you’ll fool me so easily? In all of Yan Jing City, who doesn’t know that Nalan Manor’s Third Young Master, Nalan Ziyun, was sent off to become a disciple of a large sect’s master?”

“If I am Nalan Ziyun, then who was the person sent away to the large sect?”

Nalan Yanming’s eyes were anxious, his eyes showing his internal struggle. However he kept insisting, “You must believe me. You truly are Nalan Ziyun. You are my Nalan Family’s child. If not, then how could your appearance so closely resemble An Lingyue’s?”

Hexi merely sneered, “In this world, how many people look alike? This is just some insignificant picture, yet you want me to believe your lies. Do you take me as an idiot?”

Nalan Yanming felt the poison in his body seem to worsen, seeing that Hexi didn’t believe him, he felt both fear and hate.

He thought: Just wait for this stinky boy to return to Nalan Family. He must torture this youngster, only then can he eliminate today’s humiliation.

However, he didn’t dare to show his resentment on his face. After hesitating for awhile, he had no other choice but to clench his teeth and neutrally say, “I’m sure that you are Nalan Family’s Third Young Master, Nalan Ziyun. Because…… Because that other Nalan Ziyun is a fake, brought in by Nalan Zhengze in order to replace that missing child. Apart from Nalan Zhengze, only I and the Third Elder know of this matter!!”

As Nalan Yanming said this, he was also rolling around on the floor due to the pain. As he was rolling around, black blood continually leaked out of the wound on his body. Seeing this scene, it was evident that the Intoxicated Blood Poison in his body had completely broke out
