Chapter 176: Chapter 176

Clinging onto the back of the bodyguard, Chu Lianxin complained irritably, "How much longer is this going to take? Who would live deep in the mountains? Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?"

The bodyguard was panting heavily, sweat pouring down like rain.

She hadn’t even walked a step and was whining for no reason?

Chu Lianxin smelled the sweat emanating from the bodyguards and covered her nose in disgust, "It smells terrible."

The bodyguards almost exploded in anger.

This sweaty stench, no matter how bad, is much better than your urine smell!

Following the simple map, they wandered in the mountains for hours until they faintly saw a modest courtyard appearing amidst the mountain.

Chu Lianxin jumped off the bodyguard who was exhausted like a dead dog, exclaiming excitedly, "We’ve arrived, someone really lives here! My goodness, is this the life of a recluse? Is it really an Immortal?"

A handsome youth emerged from inside the door, with features pure and enchanting, clad in billowing white garments.

Wow... what a good-looking person. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel·fıre·net

Chu Lianxin was momentarily stunned.

This appearance is even more charming than Chen Xiang by a hundred percent.

The youth saw the Jade Pendant in her hand and said, "The gentleman has been waiting for you for a while, come in."

Chu Lianxin immediately followed him, and there was a faint medicinal fragrance in the courtyard.

As soon as Chu Lianxin arrived, Su Li and Feng Huaijin also came.

"Is this the place?" Su Li panted slightly, saying with some delight.

Tuanzi really is reliable.

Suddenly, a tempting aroma of roasted chicken wafted out, causing Su Li to swallow involuntarily.

A familiar figure, holding a roasted chicken skewered on a stick, walked inside while eating.

"Wow, it’s so hot, tastes nice though, but could use more cumin."

Xiao Heng’s eyes narrowed, and he shouted, "Brother Qi, it’s Xu Xing!"

Xu Xing’s body stiffened, he turned his head to look, and was instantly so frightened his face turned green.

"Su Li, my ancestor, why did you bring this person along? Oh my, save me!"

Xu Xing couldn’t care less about eating the roast chicken anymore, he abandoned it and madly dashed inside, causing the scene to become immensely chaotic.

Feng Huaijin immediately chased after him, grabbed Xu Xing’s back collar, and shouted sternly, "Give me the medicine, I need to take it back to save my mother."

Xu Xing wailed, "Are you asking for medicine or trying to rob me? Help!"

The youth who brought Chu Lianxin inside frowned, immediately retraced his steps back to the courtyard.

"What are you all doing?"

Chu Lianxin saw Su Li, and her face instantly turned white from fear.

Chu Lianxin stared at Su Li, incredulous—how did she find her way without a map?

The youth in white hesitated and asked, "Which of you is Chu Hongyuan’s daughter?"

Chu Lianxin hurriedly produced the Jade Pendant, saying urgently, "I’m the daughter of the Chu Family, I have the Jade Pendant. They all followed me here."

Chu Lianxin looked at Su Li with smugness, so what if she followed? She, the genuine heiress, would be the one to enter.

The youth in white was hesitating when suddenly, a deep and magnetic voice came from inside the house, "Let Su Li in."

Chu Lianxin’s smile froze instantly, then she screamed after a few seconds, "I am Chu Hongyuan’s true daughter. Did you make a mistake? You should be letting me in! Why should she, an impostor, get to go in?"

Su Li’s lips curled as she spread her hands towards Chu Lianxin, deliberately saying, "Lianxin, thank you for accompanying me."

Chu Lianxin was instantly dumbfounded. Clearly, she was supposed to be the real protagonist, so how did she end up as Su Li’s foil?
