I'm the Real Feng Ao Xiu!
They tried thinking about it since yesterday, but no other men come into mind. In the first place, finding someone they could trust with the secret of the pure coloured spirit stones, was not easy.
To be trusted with that secret means they would enter the circle of Feng Ao Xiu. Sooner or later that person would know the real cultivation level of Feng Ao Xiu.
It was too risky. Feng Ao Xiu and the others do not have any leverage toward that person. So, if that person somehow betrayed them, they could not retaliate and would go down. It could be a spy and sold the information to others, it also could go to Feng Cheng Hong after knowing how strong Feng Ao Xiu is.
So, the only one who could be trusted but also have the potential and capabilities to defend against multiple strong enemies was Qian Lu.
Early in the morning, Feng Ao Xiu trained Qian Lu with new defensive skills.
"...This means that your Qi should go to your muscles and skins so your body would become harder and tougher lie an iron. Do you understand?"
Feng Ao Xiu has been talking for so long. Explaining to Qian Lu from the basic of Qi lesson, especially in the defensive style. However, Qian Lu was too stupid to understand.
"Ummmm... Can you explain it to me one more time?"
"What part you did not understand?"
"The part where the fighting stance starts..."
Feng Ao Xiu slapped his own forehead.
[That is the introduction of the lesson!]
This is already the third time he explained, and it seems there's not much he can do to teach Qian Lu. If Qian Lu could not even understand the basic, it's just the same as not studying.
[Is there any way I could teach this stupid idiot about cultivating and skills?]
Suddenly, Feng Zhong Tian came, "How's it going?"
"As you can see, no progress..."
"As expected..." Feng Zhong Tian sighed, "I told you we should not use him."
"But there's no other way..." Feng Ao Xiu shook his head. He glanced at Qian Lu with a disappointed eye before returning his gaze back to his father. "With the number of pure coloured spirit stones available, this is the only possible way!"
"We may have to rethink the whole plan," said Feng Zhong Tian with a smile. "I've got good news. Probably, there will be some pure coloured spirit stones at the auction."
"The auction!?"
Feng Zhong Tian nodded, "You have to go now. It will happen soon!"
***
Radiant Treasure Hall.
The biggest auction house in the Xiang Lan Nation. If anyone can beat the Royal Family in terms of wealth, it was not clans or sects, it was Radiant Treasure Hall.
Although it was the biggest, the Radiant Treasure Hall only opened once every four months. It just happened that today was one of them. If they sold many things here, there's a high chance they would also sell the pure coloured spirit stones which have been categorized as jewellery.
Fortunately, Feng Zhong Tian saw a flyer this morning and told his son to go here. They would not know if they would find it and how many will they earn. But, there's no harm in trying, every single stone count.
As always, the entrance of the auction was packed, full of people who want to attend the auction.
Then, a guest with two bodyguards came out of nowhere. One of the bodyguards shouted, "Pay respect to the Second Young Master of the Feng Clan!"
The employees in charge of handling the entrance couldn't keep their calm.
"Heavens! It's Feng Ao Xiu!"
"I can't believe this! Young Master Ao Xiu is here!"
"Quick! Tell the manager!"
The customer at the entrance did the same.
"Young Master Ao Xiu!"
"What is he doing here!"
The girls there screamed their heart out loud.
"Kyaaaa!!! It's Feng Ao Xiu!"
"Young Master Ao Xiu, please take me away!!"
The manager hurriedly went out to greet Feng Ao Xiu, "Young Master Feng, you must be tired from the journey. Let me give you the VIP room free of charge!"
"Good!"
Before the manager could bring Feng Ao Xiu inside, suddenly, another young man with bodyguards comes from the other side of the street.
One of his bodyguards shouted, "Second Young Master of the Feng Clan is here!"
Except for his face, the young man totally looks the same as the Feng Ao Xiu beside the manager.
Everyone became confused. What the hell is happening? Why there are two Feng Ao Xiu?
Both Feng Ao Xiu shocked and panicked.
[What!? There's another fake one beside me!]
[Another Feng Ao Xiu! This is not part of the plan...]
Suddenly, a small carriage come. Qian Hui comes down, then he shouted, "Everyone, please welcome the Second Young Master of Feng Clan, Feng Ao Xiu!"
Feng Ao Xiu went out of the carriage, he expected a warm welcome from the employees.
"..."
Instead, he got a cold shoulder.
[What happens here? Where's the warm welcome? And, why two people are cosplaying as me?]
The manager angrily said, "I see! You three must be those Feng Ao Xiu scam I've been hearing about! I almost got fooled!"
He waved his hand, "Everyone, disperse! They are all fake!"
The customers and employees look at the three Feng Ao Xiu in disgust.
"Heh, fake!"
"Tch... I knew it! It will be impossible to have the real Feng Ao Xiu come in here!"
"What can we expect? Do you really think Feng Ao Xiu will come here? The Radiant Treasure Hall is too small for someone like Feng Ao Xiu!"
The three Feng Ao Xiu groups were left alone and ignored.
Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number One points to the Real Feng Ao Xiu, "Who are you?"
"Me? I'm Feng Ao Xiu!"
Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two laughed, "Hahaha! You're good, but I'm the Real Feng Ao Xiu!"
"No! I'm the real Feng Ao Xiu!", Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number One shook his head. He points at the two bodyguards behind him, one was skinny, and the other was fat, "These two are my bodyguards, Qian Hui, and Qian Lu!"
The two bodyguards step forward, they indeed look like Qian Hui and Qian Lu.
"No! Qian Hui and Qian Lu are my bodyguards!" said Feng Ao Xiu Number Two. His two bodyguards also step forth, they were similar to the real one.
The Real Feng Ao Xiu couldn't believe what he just saw. There were six imposters in front of him.
He angrily shouted, "What are you two talking about!? I'm the real Feng Ao Xiu! And, the two behind me is also the real one!"
Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number One shook his head, "You still have a long way to go! You guys may be the one who looks closer to Feng Ao Xiu and his guards, but Feng Ao Xiu would never shout angrily like that."
Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two nodded, "That's right! Feng Ao Xiu wouldn't even use a carriage. He's an expert, why would he use a carriage?"
The Real Feng Ao Xiu gnashed his teeth.
[So you guys admit, that you're both fakes! But, why did you assume I'm in the same category as well!? And, stop teaching me about Feng Ao Xiu. I'm the real one!]
"Hahaha... I like you guys! We're in the same business, let's enter together!" Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number One said.
"Can we enter? We got found out!", asked Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number Two.
"Don't worry! As long as we got money, they will let us enter, no matter if you are real or fake!"
