Chapter 80 South Wind
Wu You stroked his chin: "Since the appeasement policy isn't working, it seems we have no choice but to launch a full-scale attack. Sister A-Mian, may I borrow your sword?"
"Forced attack? You can have it." Qiao Wanmian was curious about Wu You's so-called forced attack, and wondered if he would climb over the wall to get in?
Wu You took Qiao Wanmian's sword from the horse and drew it from its sheath.
"That's how a strong attack works." Wu You slashed at the iron lock that had swallowed his key with his sword. With a clang, the weathered iron lock completed its mission and ended its life.
“If the gentle approach doesn’t work, we’ll have to take the hard way. Let’s go, Sister A-Mian, let’s go check out the haunted house.” Wu You pushed open the courtyard gate and called out to Qiao Wan-Mian.
When Qiao Wanmian came forward, Wu You took a horse rein from her and led the way into the courtyard.
"Who are you, and why have you barged into this courtyard?"
Wu Youcai had just walked past the screen wall when a sharp sword was pointed at him.
Wu You looked up and saw a man in his thirties opposite her. He had cold and resolute features and was dressed in black. He was quite handsome, but he was a complete stranger.
Hearing the noise, Qiao Wanmian immediately dropped the reins and rushed to Wu You's side, drawing her sword and pointing it at him, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.
"Who are you, and why are you in someone else's courtyard?"
"I told you there was a beautiful ghost hiding in the courtyard, didn't I?" Wu You put his hand behind his back, ready to take out a hidden arrow from the old house's space to attack if anything happened.
"Youyou." Qiao Wanmian said helplessly. What time is it? Why are you still thinking about such nonsense?
"Speak quickly, why did you break into this courtyard? If you don't speak, you'll die." Seeing that the two did not answer, the man spoke again, and the sharp sword in his hand moved even closer.
"You think you're in the right in someone else's house? Who are you? What are you doing here?" With Qiao Wanmian and his own sneak attack, he figured he shouldn't be at a disadvantage.
"Your little courtyard?" the man asked incredulously.
"Of course it's mine, the deed is still in my hands." Wu You couldn't lose face, since she had the property certificate in her own hands.
"Impossible! I bought this house myself, how could it belong to someone else?"
"Whether it is or not, let's take out the property deed and see, then we'll know who's fake. Since it's a misunderstanding, let's put the weapons away and talk things over."
Wu You wanted to persuade Qiao Wanmian to put down her sword, but then she heard the man say, "I don't have the deed, but I bought this courtyard myself and watched the seller sign it."
Wu You stopped trying to persuade her and her aura suddenly rose: "If it's not true, it's not true. You're probably trying to take over someone else's place."
"I don't believe what you're saying. Show me the property deed."
"You're not trying to rob me, are you?"
"Don't worry, I'll just check if it's real or fake. You can take it further away."
"That's all we can do. Sister A-Mian, take it and stand back to watch. I'll stand in the middle." Wu You handed the house deed to Qiao Wan-Mian and pushed her away.
"Youyou, how about..."
"No need, this is fine." Wu You urged, it was better to end this mess as soon as possible.
Once Qiao Wanmian had stood about ten steps away, she slowly opened the house deed.
The man was trying to get rid of the two as soon as possible when he looked up and saw that the person opposite him was holding a very familiar property deed. He had personally witnessed the handover, and the seller's fingerprints were exactly the same as he remembered.
Nanfeng wanted to rush forward and get a good look at him: "You..."
Wu You quickly stopped him: "Didn't we agree not to steal?"
Nanfeng asked anxiously, "Where did you get this property deed? Tell me!"
"You get all worked up over something I said? Can't this property deed be mine?"
"Impossible, I personally handed over this property deed..." Nanfeng was somewhat incredulous, carefully looking at the two people in front of him, but couldn't see anything amiss.
"Youyou, be careful, something's wrong with him." Qiao Wanmian saw that the man was acting suspiciously and hurriedly stepped forward to block Wu You.
"Youyou? Your name is Youyou?" Nanfeng thought of something, used his lightness skill, turned around and quickly ran back to his room.
"Sister A-Mian, did that vixen escape because she was in the wrong?" Wu You asked, puzzled.
"Let's wait and see, and be careful."
Wu You was talking to Qiao Wanmian when he looked up and saw a masked figure standing behind her.
"Ah, it really is a ghost! Sister A-Mian, be careful behind you."
Wu You held Qiao Wanmian's hand, preventing her from going forward.
But why does this ghost look so familiar? And its clothes are the same as the one worn by the person just now.
"You ran back just to wear a mask and scare us?" Wu Youzhen laughed at this person's behavior.
"Don't you think this mask looks familiar?" Nanfeng was still not giving up and continued to ask.
"A mask?" What's so great about this mask? It's not as good-looking as the two of us. Wu You's sense of aesthetics is still pretty good.
Qiao Wanmian nodded: "Indeed, your mask? Neither of us thinks it looks good."
"I didn't ask if you thought it looked good. I wanted to ask if you remembered that two people were wearing the same mask?" Nanfeng felt a little uneasy.
"Is that so?" Wu You rummaged through his memory and seemed to recall that there had indeed been two people wearing masks who appeared in front of him before.
It's just that a lot of time has passed, and I've almost forgotten what the mask looked like.
Wu You tentatively asked, "South Wind? Or North Yi?"
Nanfeng knelt down with a "thud" and bowed: "Nanfeng greets Your Highness the Princess."
Wu You heard the sound of him kneeling on the ground and felt the pain in her own knees.
"It really is you. Get up and talk to me first. Seeing you like this makes my knees hurt."
"Yes, Your Highness." Nanfeng obediently stood up.
"I didn't even recognize you, how did you recognize me?" Wu You asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Nanfeng knelt on the ground again: "It was my rudeness that I drew my sword against Your Highness. I beg Your Highness to punish me."
"Didn't I tell you to stand up? Why are you kneeling again? Stand up first."
"Yes."
"This courtyard was purchased by me at the request of Her Highness the Princess. In previous years, people kept trying to knock on the door and come in, but I never opened it."
"Your Highness, this is the first time anyone has come to your door. Not only did they produce the house deed I gave you, but we also heard that the girl called you 'Youyou' and had some suspicions. So we wanted to take out the mask to test you. Please forgive us, Princess."

Nanfeng: Beiyi, you're coming back soon. I've found Her Highness the Princess.
Bei Yi: Found it. When? Where was it found?
Nanfeng, just now, Her Highness the Princess came to the courtyard by herself.
Bei Yi: I told you it was important to leave someone to keep watch. I'm on this side of the mountain and on this side of the sea right now, and it will take me some time to get back. Keep an eye on Her Highness the Princess and don't let her leave quietly again.
Nanfeng: Don't worry, I am now Nanfeng's protector and must protect him every step of the way.
