The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop

Chapter 854 - 13: The Eldest Miss of Sky City

After He Ling and the fake Bai Yue left, Tianmiao reached out and lightly poked Wei Yunshu on the back with a finger.

Wei Yunshu turned around. "Ah, what’s up?"

"Senior is actually the Sect Master of the Fenglan Sect, right?" Tianmiao asked.

"Eh?? How did you figure that out? I thought I put on a great act, where did I slip up?" Wei Yunshu’s eyes widened, and he just admitted it outright.

"Just now, when your disciple saw your letter, he froze for a moment. The look in his eyes when he saw you was a bit off. So I made a bold guess, and I didn’t expect Senior to be so straightforward and just confess." Tianmiao explained.

"Oh, so you were guessing! I thought you actually saw through me. Qin Yu, get over here. You unfilial disciple, you can’t even cooperate with your master—what use are you to me?" Wei Yunshu dropped the act, restored his original appearance, called Qin Yu over, and started scolding.

"Master, what are you trying to do this time?" Qin Yu asked helplessly. Even though Qin Yu was the disciple, compared to Wei Yunshu, it seemed like Qin Yu was the steadier one, while Wei Yunshu was the more flighty one.

Tianmiao sized up Wei Yunshu’s face. Oh my, he was a handsome middle‑aged uncle. Pretty good‑looking, actually. It’s just that he seemed to have a mischievous personality too.

"Of course your master has big plans, big plans!" Wei Yunshu shot Qin Yu a glare. "Keep a close eye on that Bai Yue from just now."

"Huh?" Qin Yu’s face was confused at first, then he frowned and his tone grew serious. "Master, there’s something off about Sky City’s young lady?"

"There’s nothing wrong with Sky City’s young lady. It’s that Bai Yue who’s the problem." Wei Yunshu snorted coldly. "Watch them closely. I want to see what they’re up to—their courage sure is something."

"Master, you mean that one’s an imposter?" Qin Yu reacted immediately.

"Nonsense. The one in front of you is the real deal! Little Bai Yue, this is your Senior Brother Qin. He might look a bit wooden on the surface, but he’s sly as a fox. If you need anything, just go to him." Wei Yunshu pointed at Tianmiao. "This is the real young lady of Sky City—the real Bai Yue."

"Greetings, Young Lady." Qin Yu stared at Tianmiao in astonishment and greeted her. "Th-this is the real young lady?"

"That’s right." Wei Yunshu nodded. "Your master’s eyes are like torches; I recognized her in one glance. If it were you, brat, you wouldn’t figure it out in eight hundred years."

"Did the Elders tell the Sect Master?" Tianmiao asked.

"No, no. They don’t even know you’ve returned to the Fenglan Sect, right? They didn’t tell me. I really did recognize you in one glance on my own. Come with me." Wei Yunshu waved Tianmiao over. "I’ll show you something."

Wei Yunshu led the curious Tianmiao and the others to his study, took more than a dozen paintings out of a drawer, and spread them out one by one for Tianmiao to see.

Tianmiao took one look and froze. Every single one of them was a portrait of her—from age three to eighteen. Vivid and lifelike, capturing both form and spirit.

"This?" Tianmiao looked at Wei Yunshu in puzzlement.

"I’ve said it before, I’m a master of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. When you were three, I caught a glimpse of you from afar. As long as I’ve seen someone once as a child, I can imagine what they’ll look like when they grow up and paint it out." Wei Yunshu shook his head smugly, full of swagger. "Did you think those rumors were just me bragging? They’re all true. I’m only repeating them for you."

"Sect Master, your talents are truly impressive. I’m convinced." Tianmiao really was impressed. This kind of ability only existed in legends in the human world; who knew how many worlds you’d have to pass through to meet someone like this. But the way he was showing off really did make one want to smack him and find him a bit cute at the same time.

"In a bit we’ll go secretly observe them, see what that fake is actually trying to do." Wei Yunshu’s lips curled up, and he spoke with great interest.

It was obvious—this was another one who loved to watch the drama.
