Chapter 248 - A Fake Pretending To Be Fake

The young man who used the name Jiang Wei slowly gathered his thoughts as he looked at the girls who were leaving the crowd without anyone noticing.

He was not a benevolent person, and while he had approached Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun with a purpose, he had to admit that while he only had a neutral impression of the Eternal Shadow Lord, he held a very good impression towards his wife.

Li Moyun was a figure that deserved respect, and Jiang Wei also respected him for the achievements he had gained, especially when one considered his conditions in this lower realm, but knowing the background of this young man, it was not that shocking that he had managed to become outstanding.

Diamonds would s.h.i.+ne no matter where they were placed.

On the other hand, Bai Rouyun was the one who had made him pleasantly surprised. She was a young woman, but the soul within was unyielding and proud. Although she was talented, she was not arrogant. Even when interacting with him, she was polite and friendly, although she had long since sensed something wrong.

Jiang Wei was deep in thought as he had slowly followed the young cla.s.smates of Qin Huiling. When they reached a deserted alleyway, he glanced at their backs and waved his hand.

Small black rays shot towards the women, and when they reached, they all sunk into their skins.

The women felt a s.h.i.+ver run through their bodies, after which, the world turned black, and they never woke up again.

Jiang Wei looked at the women who had fallen on the ground. His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotions. Even though these women were considered beautiful, he felt no pity towards the fairer s.e.x, as he had been present when this group of women tried to use the public opinion to control and condemn Bai Rouyun, although she had done nothing wrong.

The black rays that had entered the body of the women slowly revealed themselves. It turned out that they were small snakes created from energy that had their own spirit.

If Bai Mulan, or anyone else from the Wus.h.i.+ Continent were to witness this, their eyes would be full of fear.

The snakes seemed to feast on the women's bodies while Jiang Wei was leisurely leaning against the wall with a slight smile on his face.

"Hurry up, I still want to go and keep an eye on my Mistress."

The snakes seemed to belong to this young man who pretended to be Jiang Wei, but when they heard his words, disdain flashed within their eyes.

"Hey, I know she is not that strong, but I have a good feeling towards her."

The young man seemed to understand their dislike towards this young woman, but he was not bothered and kept smiling.

Although the snakes seemed annoyed, they still sped up the rate at which they consumed the bodies, before they once again went dormant within Jiang Wei's body.

Jiang Wei slowly left the alleyway and his expression returned to one that was familiar to his character, but deep within his eyes a cunning gleam was flas.h.i.+ng. He was considering if Bai Rouyun would praise him or scold him if she became aware of his actions.

Chuckling slightly, he felt that she would scold him. She was not a petty person, so even if they had tried to cause havoc, they had failed, and eventually ended up helping her. Knowing her personality, Bai Rouyun was not likely to hold on to such a small grudge, nor would she care what others thought about her.

Unfortunately, he was not as forgiving.

The reason he had come to this lowly realm was due to a hidden treasure that had been located by his clan, but even after searching for so long, he had still not found it.

When he arrived, he found that the real Jiang Wei had just been killed by his twin brother, and that the twin brother aimed to take over his ident.i.ty and infiltrate the Eternal Shadow Palace on behalf of his masters.

He, who had just arrived, was lacking an ident.i.ty, so he swept down, absorbed the young man's memories, and then killed him, before he used a special illusion technique that changed his appearance into the man he had just killed.

Since then, he had been living as the twin brother who pretended to be Jiang Wei.

He had even contacted those people behind the whole scheme from time to time, but all the information he had pa.s.sed on was completely useless, and could not be more plain.

At the beginning, he was considering which way to leave the Eternal Shadow Palace, but upon seeing the familiar face of their lord, he decided to stay within the faction.

It also made things much easier for him to search the world when he belonged to some faction, and even had a traceable ident.i.ty, so he had no intention to let his ident.i.ty slip for now.

He had been acting seamlessly, up until Bai Rouyun appeared. He did not know why, but he had unintentionally revealed some flaws which made her doubt him.

After knowing that she doubted himself, he did nothing to try and change her opinion on him, but kept making her confused. He even found a twisted pleasure in knowing that he was currently occupying a great amount of her thoughts.

"I have truly gone insane," he muttered to himself as he hid in a dense tree crown and looked at the young woman who was seated in a cla.s.sroom.
