Xi Jin watched as Si Mobai held Feng Tianlan’s face and peppered soft kisses on her lips, declaring his rightful possession of her in a domineering way. When he ordered her not to smile, she instantly stopped smiling and her face turned cold.
Immediately, she exuded a cold and detached aura.
“Not everyone can be like Dai’er.” Dai’er would never be so impassive. She was like the sun with the ability to melt all snow, she was never so ice-cold.
Shen Yunya smiled lightly. “Miss Feng is the most beautiful lady that I have ever met. Perhaps even Elder Sister is no match for her. If Elder Sister is around, maybe we can judge for ourselves who is prettier.”
“Dai’er is the most beautiful one in this entire world, how can anyone compete with her?” Xi Jin snorted gently, obviously in disagreement with what Shen Yunya had said.
Shen Yunya smiled lightly. “I feel the same.”
Feng Tianlan pretended not to have heard their conversation. Even if they thought she did, she acted as if they were simply talking about a stranger who was unimportant to her.
However, Si Mobai knew that Feng Tianlan was actually overwhelmed by waves of emotions. Her palms were already wet with perspiration.
It was likely that the “Dai’er” whom they were talking about was someone related to Lan’er.
“Tianlan, do you see? He has such a pretty face, but how can his eyes be so blind?” Luo Yunzhu glanced at Tu Xiupei. She must be the Dai’er that they were referring to, but how could she even compare with Tianlan? She could barely match up to a strand of Tianlan’s hair.
This Supremacy, Xi Jin, was not only insensitive, but his eyes were also blind to mistake a worthless object for treasure.
Feng Tianlan frowned gently and reprimanded her under her breath, “Yunzhu, that is not your business.”
Shen Yunya loved Brother Jin. She disliked other women being so close to him, or even other people badmouthing him. If Yunzhu messed with her, she would likely become her target.
Luo Yunzhu pouted and relented, but she was not happy. She was only standing up for Tianlan, why did she get scolded by her instead? Exactly whose side was Tianlan on?
Shen Yunya looked at the two of them and another thought came to mind. Since she had a doubt, if she did not clear her suspicions completely, she would not be at ease. Whenever she worked on something, she needed to make sure to go over every detail and be certain that she had missed nothing out.
Due to the presence of Shen Yunya and the others, Si Mobai and Feng Tianlan did not speak much. They just stood upon the deck, hugging each other and watching the sea around the ship as if they were a celestial couple out on a vacation.
In addition, after a few days of observation, Feng Tianlan finally understood why Brother Jin was so certain Tu Xiupei was Shen Qingdai. It was because Tu Xiupei had mysteriously gained many small habits, such as grabbing her fingers and liking the color red—even her food preferences had changed.
All of these habits were obtained to make her more like Shen Qingdai’s. They were nothing more than pretense. However, it was not something that could be achieved with only a few days of practice. Someone was deliberately helping Tu Xiupei to impersonate Shen Qingdai.
She could not let anyone deceive Brother Jin like that.
“Mobai, when are you going back to the Xuantian Continent?” Feng Tianlan snuggled up in Si Mobai’s arms as she watched the boundless, sparkling ocean’s surface.
Si Mobai replied as he arranged her flowing hair, “As your husband, I will leave when they leave.”
“Mobai, can you go earlier?” Feng Tianlan lifted her head slightly to look at him.
“Eh?” Si Mobai frowned. He barely just started to enjoy some time with Lan’er. He could not bear to leave her now.
Feng Tianlan retracted her gaze and continued to look out at the ocean. “Although I have not mentioned anything, I know you have already guessed, or even confirmed it.”
“Lan’er.” Si Mobai tightened his arms around her and rested his chin on top of her head. He began to emit spiritual force so that if anyone was eavesdropping nearby, he would notice immediately.
After days of observing the situation, he did indeed have some inkling of understanding that Lan’er was the real “Dai’er” that the others were talking about.
