"You're saying my man is missing?" Bai Yiling's mind struggled to catch up for a moment.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "That's right, Goddess Bai. Your man is missing. Why don't you let me take his place?"
Immediately!
Bai Yiling burst into laughter. "Alright, since no one else is around yet, come on, I'll give you a chance to be my man!"
The words had barely left her lips.
She grabbed Cheng Xiaofan's arm and dragged him into the courtyard, heading towards the villa on the east side.
That villa was still vacant, unoccupied.
Bai Yiling moved swiftly. In the blink of an eye, she pulled Cheng Xiaofan into the villa, shut the large door, and pushed him onto the ground.
This is too fierce!
Cheng Xiaofan feigned fear and said, "Goddess Bai, can you be a little gentler?"
Bai Yiling scoffed, "If you dare to be my man, you must endure my stormy onslaught!"
It's blown up!
He knew his Goddess Bai had seen through him.
Since Goddess Bai wanted to play, he would go along with her offensive!
An hour later.
Cheng Xiaofan resumed his original appearance, changed his clothes, and smiled at his Goddess Bai, asking, "How did you recognize me?"
Bai Yiling smiled, "We've been together for so long. No matter how you disguise yourself, can't I still detect that special scent on you?"
"Tell me, when did you learn to disguise yourself?"
Cheng Xiaofan casually brushed it off, "Just this morning, while I was wandering on the mountain, I suddenly had an impulse and learned it by accident!"
Bai Yiling stood up and said, "Let's go out quickly. Old Tang and the others are busy in the kitchen. People will be here for dinner soon!"
As they walked out of the east villa, Luo Changsheng and a large group of people were just entering the courtyard.
"Xiaofan, did you just come back from town after fixing your phone?" Luo Changsheng asked immediately upon seeing Cheng Xiaofan.
He was also speaking to the leaders beside him.
Implying that Cheng Xiaofan hadn't deliberately avoided them.
If there were no special circumstances, he would have shown himself much earlier.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately responded, "Grandpa Luo, you're right. I just got back from town."
"By the way, how did you know?"
Luo Changsheng smiled and said, "I heard it from a friend of yours."
He then described the clothes and appearance of the young man to Cheng Xiaofan.
Bai Yiling, listening from the side, suppressed her laughter. How could her mysterious man be so mischievous, even fooling Grandpa Luo?
Cheng Xiaofan said with a serious expression, "Grandpa Luo, you're right. He is indeed a very good friend of mine!"
"I originally wanted to invite him to my place for dinner, but he said he had something to do at noon and couldn't make it!"
"Haha, I'm here!" Just then, a young man walked in from outside, laughing heartily.
When Cheng Xiaofan saw the arrival, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Wasn't this young man the one he had just disguised himself as?
Bai Yiling, standing beside him, was even more dumbfounded!
Did her mysterious man disguise himself to look exactly like this young man?
However!
In that instant, Cheng Xiaofan discerned who the person was from the aura emanating from him.
He turned to Grandpa Luo and the others and said, "I'm sorry, a friend of mine needs me for something. Please, make yourselves comfortable inside. I'll be back shortly!"
After speaking, Cheng Xiaofan approached the young man, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Come, let's go outside the courtyard for a moment."
"Okay, as you wish!" the young man replied.
They reached the courtyard gate.
Cheng Xiaofan then led the young man into the nearby woods.
"Konoe Mieko, how did you disguise yourself as me and come here?" he asked, smiling faintly, looking at her.
Konoe Mieko replied, "Replying to Mr. Cheng, the Land God knew you were very busy today and was worried you might forget about the wedding banquet you're attending tonight. He specifically sent me to remind you."
"I arrived at Terraced Mountain and happened to see you in disguise, talking with Village Chief Luo. Later, after they arrived here, to make it convenient to see you, I impersonated your friend and came here."
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but ask curiously, "When you got to Terraced Mountain, how did you recognize that the disguised person was me?"
Konoe Mieko said, "Mr. Cheng, your disguise techniques were obtained from Sakai Kyoko and Matsuki Chiyoko. Of course, I could see through them!"
"..." Cheng Xiaofan was speechless upon hearing this.
Sakai Kyoko and Matsuki Chiyoko were both disciples of Konoe Mieko.
And he had obtained the disguise techniques from them after disabling their cultivation arts.
From another perspective, wasn't he now Konoe Mieko's disciple?
Fortunately, Cheng Xiaofan's thick skin was enough that he didn't care about this at all.
Moreover, he had obtained these disguise techniques through his own abilities; it was impossible for ordinary cultivators to do so.
He chuckled and said, "Konoe Mieko, you specifically came to see me today not just on the Land God's orders to remind me, right?"
*Thump!*
Konoe Mieko immediately knelt before Cheng Xiaofan.
She said, "Replying to Mr. Cheng, you've guessed correctly. I have an unsolicited request, and I hope you will grant it!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "You don't need to say it, I already know. You've fallen for Ye Shisan and want me to mediate, right?"
Konoe Mieko blushed slightly and lowered her head, saying, "Exactly!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "Don't kneel before me. We are all good friends from now on. Get up and talk!"
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng!" Konoe Mieko immediately stood up.
Cheng Xiaofan said, "The Land God told me about your situation. I'm quite curious. After all, you are a grandmaster of charm cultivation in Sakura Country. With your charm techniques, wouldn't it be easy to win over Ye Shisan?"
Konoe Mieko replied, "Replying to Mr. Cheng, Ye Shisan is a man I truly like. I don't want to use charm techniques on him. I want his genuine affection for me!"
Upon hearing her words, Cheng Xiaofan gained a new level of respect for her.
He nodded and said, "Well, what you're saying makes sense. I'll talk to Ye Shisan tonight when I get there."
"Don't worry, I will do my utmost to bring you two together!"
Konoe Mieko said quickly, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng. I'll take my leave now!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "It's already noon. Why don't you stay for lunch before leaving? Kyoko will also be coming here soon, so you can see her."
Konoe Mieko hesitated slightly, "Mr. Cheng, perhaps it's better to wait a while longer before I meet Kyoko."
"Someone is looking for you, I must go back!"
With that, Konoe Mieko's body flickered and she disappeared into the woods.
Looking in the direction she vanished, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but stare blankly, sighing inwardly, this Konoe Mieko's teleportation skill is truly amazing!
