<h4>Chapter 587: She’s Posing as Yunyi</h4>


    Gu Yun struggled to get up. It was as if a tonne load of stone was weighing her down. Forget about getting up — even breathing was a chore!


    If there was no way to struggle free, one had to stop resisting. Gu Yun raised her eyes and stared right at Si Mobai, as if saying, “What’s the meaning of this, Wargod? We’ve never met each other. Why would you treat me, the princess, like that on our first meeting?”


    Why couldn’t he treat her better? Even a little bit better was fine, instead of being so defensive of Feng Tian all the time!


    Apart from that pretty face, what was so good about Feng Tian?


    Nothing!


    “Lan’er, I’ll leave this to you,” Si Mobai whispered gently to Feng Tian in his arms. He did not even spare a single nce at Gu Yun.


    Feng Tian stared straight at Gu Yun. Seeing her kneel there transported her back to that tragic night where Nansheng pushed her away and fell to the ground right by her side.


    “Why did you try to kill me?” Feng Tian’s voice was mild and calm, as if she was asking a verymon question.


    Gu Yun stole a nce at Si Mobai. She, of course, dared not throw her weight around. She could only deny it, “There are no grudges between us, so why would I want to kill you? You were the one who tried to kill me thest time we fought, and so I was forced to retaliate.”


    Si Mobai was deeply protective of Feng Tian. Should he ever find out that Gu Yun was the one who sent assassins to kill Feng Tian, she would definitely suffer a fate worse than death!


    “You said that you were Tu Xiupei. I’ve investigated that and found her to be long dead. She died in a small town along the borders, from the Everhigh Poison.” Feng Tian looked right into Gu Yun, as if trying to see through the depths of her soul.


    Gu Yun kept mum. She was the only one who knew about Tu Xiupei’s death — to think that Feng Tian managed to uncover that! Also, with the Wargod standing right here, she would never admit herself to be that battered whore who had slept with countless men.


    “Gu Yun, the First Princess of the Beiqi Nation, the Lady Phoenix of Beiqi, and the Evanesce City’s esteemed guest.” Gu Yun looked up at Si Mobai saying, “Surely the Wargod would spare a thought for the South Winds Nation?”


    She bore a highly esteemed and honored status. She believed that Si Mobai would consider his actions carefully with the South Winds Nation in mind and would noty a finger on her rashly.


    “The esteemed guest of Evanesce City?” Si Mobai scoffed coldly. He did not even raise his eyelids as he untangled Feng Tian’s hair with great care. Slowly, he said, “Without that face, and that red dot between your brows, what kind of an esteemed guest are you?”


    Gu Yun’s head jerked upon hearing those words as she said to Si Mobai in shock, “You...”


    Si Mobai seemed to have caught on onto something. That’s impossible! It was such a secret matter!


    Feng Tian was confused as well. She had just woken up, and Si Mobai had not managed to tell her anything. Pang Tai’s words came to mind, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Who is she posing as?”


    At that moment, Wu Yuan and Wu Qi pushed the mayor of the Evanesce City in front of everyone — their expressions far from happy. Although they were reluctant to push the mayor out, they remembered the painful death of Gu Nansheng. It was something that must be done.


    Bang! The mayor, too, fell to his knees beside Gu Yun.


    “You...” Gu Yun bellowed angrily at the mayor the instant she saw him, “Useless bum!”


    “Go fight her if you’re so powerful! That’s an Advanced-stage Heavenly Supreme! Even if you pit 10 Spiritual Emperors against her, she could wipe them all out with a flick of her finger.” The mayor looked pale and fearful. Remembering that Gu Yun was the one who hadnded him in such a plight, his resentment towards her quickly grew.


    Si Mobai did not even look at them. Still tidying Feng Tian’s hair, he said, “You know that she’s not the Yunyi you’re looking for. But I guarantee that you don’t know who she truly is.”


    “Yunyi?” Feng Tian felt a sense of familiarity towards that name. She seemed to have heard it from somewhere.


    Unwilling to see her exhaust her mind even more, Si Mobai reminded, “Yunyi Alliance.”


    Feng Tian nked out for a second. There was an impression of Si Mobai mentioning that the Yunyi Alliance was named after a woman. Only after he took over that organization did they change their name to the Ban Alliance.


    However, what did that have to do with Gu Yun?
