Yu Suxin smiled and said, "Youâre overthinking it. Not many people know how to use such techniques, and even if they became widespread, the world wouldnât fall into chaos. Itâs easy to become a completely new person using this method, but itâs much harder to disguise oneself as someone else.
Even if one practices to perfection, at most, they can resemble the person theyâre trying to imitate by eighty percent. Besides, everyone has different habits and ways of behaving.
Even if one can perfectly mimic both appearance and voice, itâs still difficult to deceive those who know them well. Most importantly, this technique can only change muscles, not bones or body shape. There arenât many people in the world with similar body shapes for you to imitate."
"Then, do you know of any techniques that can change bones?" Wang Yue asked eagerly. He was sometimes dissatisfied with his height, and if he could find a way to change his body shape, he wouldnât have to wait for himself to grow taller.
"No, at least I havenât heard of any," Yu Suxin shook her head. "Changing muscles is already very difficult, and bones are crucial for supporting a personâs body. Itâs not so easy to change them."
Wang Yue immediately gave up on that idea. From what Yu Yan (not a typo; in Wang Yueâs mind, Yu Suxin was now called Yu Yan) said, it was clear that she came from a very important background, probably related to some sacred martial arts realm.
If even she hadnât heard of such techniques, then they probably really didnât exist in the world.
However, since she seemed to be connected to such a sacred realm, there might be some things he could ask her about.
So, Wang Yue asked again, "As someone who knows so much, do you know of a sacred martial arts realm called the Yang Family?"
"The Yang Family?" Yu Suxin was surprised and asked back, "Why are you asking about them?"
Judging from Yu Suxinâs reaction, it was clear that she knew about the Yang Family. Wang Yue quickly said, "I have an elder who was sent to the Yang Family thirty years ago, and since then, thereâs been no news of her. I just want to find out what happened to her."
"I didnât expect you to have any connection with the Yang Family," Yu Suxin was surprised, but then she shook her head. "Iâve only heard of the Yang Family. I know nothing about their family affairs. Youâve asked the wrong person."
"Then, do you know where the Yang Family is located?" Wang Yue asked again.
"Itâs located in Bianjing, the central plains. You can find out by asking around there," Yu Suxin said.
Then she added, "For Yingyingâs sake, I give you one piece of advice: donât go to the Yang Family casually, and donât expect to get anything good from your elder. The affairs of sacred realms arenât something ordinary martial artists should get involved in."
"Thank you for the warning, senior," Wang Yue said.
But he wasnât going to the Yang Family for any benefits. In fact, he had even thought about storming the Yang Family.
It wasnât until he deduced from various signs that his second aunt was probably doing well that he gave up on that idea. But he still wanted to visit the Yang Family as soon as possible, at least to see his second aunt once.
"Hmm, now that youâve learned the disguise technique, Yingying still needs to practice. You can go now," Yu Suxin clearly told him to leave.
"Master, let me see him off," Li Yingying immediately said.
Yu Suxin didnât stop her. Having met countless people in her life, she could tell that Wang Yue was a man of his word. Since he had agreed to her request and made a promise, there was no need to worry about him going back on it. With such a disciple by his side, there was nothing to worry about either.
Li Yingying reverted to her previous demeanor and followed Wang Yue out.
After leaving the restaurant, Li Yingying suddenly said, "Young Master Wang, please donât blame my master. She doesnât have any bad intentions."
"Why should I blame her?" Wang Yue laughed. "She doesnât owe me anything. In fact, she taught me some very practical skills. I should be grateful to her."
"But she forced you to make that promise," Li Yingying said.
Wang Yue smiled. "I never intended to become lovers with you. Whether she pressured me or not, it was just another promise."
"Do you really not like me at all?" Li Yingying finally couldnât hold back anymore. With tears in her eyes, she asked. Although she didnât expect to become lovers with Wang Yue, his indifferent attitude still hurt her deeply. If you really donât have any feelings for me, then why did you do that on the bus that day..."
But then Wang Yue laughed. "Of course, I like you. And when the time is right, I will have you by my side. We will never be separated again."
Li Yingying was stunned. "But youâve already promised my master..."
"Who said we have to be nominal lovers to be together?" Wang Yue chuckled mischievously. "To tell you the truth, your sister is already mine, and sheâs even pregnant with my child. So in the future, youâll be my sister-in-law. As a sister-in-law stays by her brother-in-lawâs side, what can your master say? And besides..."
At this point, Wang Yue leaned his mouth close to Li Yingyingâs ear and whispered, "Brothers-in-law usually treat their sisters-in-law better. My dear little sister-in-law, youâre destined to belong to me for life. Thereâs no way you can get away from me."
"Youâre so bad! So cunning! How could you deceive my master like that?" Li Yingying teased playfully, but she couldnât help but laugh through her tears. She never expected to have any official relationship with Wang Yue. As long as he had feelings for her, that was enough.
There were too many people around, so Wang Yue couldnât be affectionate with Li Yingying. He simply took her hand quietly and left.
When Li Yingying returned to Yu Suxin, it was immediately obvious that something wasnât right.
"Yingying, what did Wang Yue say to you? Does he want to go back on his word?" Yu Suxin asked seriously.
"No, Young Master Wang isnât the kind of person who goes back on his word," Li Yingying shook her head. "And I can also promise my master that I will never become lovers with him."
"Then why did your mood suddenly improve?" Yu Suxin asked. She could tell that her disciple had feelings for Wang Yue. So after Wang Yue agreed to that condition, Li Yingying seemed very unhappy. But now, just after going out for a while, she became happy again. This made Yu Suxin suspicious.
"Iâm happy for my sister. My sister is now Mr. Wangâs woman, and she even has his child. Iâll soon become a sister-in-law. Of course, Iâm happy," Li Yingying said, feeling a bit guilty inside herself. She really had been corrupted by Mr. Wang to the point of using flattery on her master.
But being a sister-in-law... thatâs so embarrassing!
It seems really nice to stay by his side as a sister-in-law for generations!
Yu Suxin had no idea what her disciple was thinking. Hearing her words, she finally felt completely relieved. If her disciple could see things clearly, that was indeed excellent.
It is said that after getting into the car, Wang Yue immediately began to practice the technique he had just learned.
In no time, his face began to change at will. It only took a few minutes for him to fully master the technique.
Then, Wang Yue tried to transform his face into Zhang Qingtianâs. After completing the transformation, his face resembled Zhang Qingtianâs to 90% accuracy, almost to the point of being indistinguishable from the real person.
This was clearly different from what Yu Yan had said. It seemed that his own vital energy was purer than hers.
Therefore, if his vital energy continued to become purer in the future, one day he would be able to mimic anyone he wanted, with 100% accuracy.
Finally, Wang Yue designed a new appearance for himself: his facial features became much more rugged, making him look like a young man in his twenties.
His voice also became deep and resonant. It was believed that even those who knew him well would not be able to recognize him based on his appearance or voice.
Although this new appearance wasnât needed yet, Wang Yue believed that it would come in handy someday.
Upon arriving at the Su familyâs base, Wang Yue went straight to Yan Fangfei and presented his request.
Yan Fangfei naturally couldnât refuse Wang Yueâs request.
After all, she had countless materials at her disposal. Although she didnât have the highest-quality materials that could be used to create divine weapons, with her skills, the alloys she could create by combining various materials might not be inferior to those made from the best materials.
Yan Fangfei agreed immediately and told Wang Yue that the finished product would be ready in three days. As payment, he would receive a sufficient amount of public grain.
However, because Wang Yue provided too much public grain, Yan Fangfei probably wouldnât be able to do anything all day today. As a result, the time for obtaining the knife had to be postponed by one day.
On his way back, Wang Yue received a message from Wang Zhitin. His lips curled into a smile, and he turned back to the Su familyâs base.
After lunch, Wang Zhitin carried a huge wooden box into Huang Yuexiangâs residence.
The box was nearly two meters tall, with a width and thickness of over one meter each. It was quite amusing to see Wang Zhitin, who was petite in stature, carrying such a heavy box.
"Tingting, what are you carrying? Put it down before it weighs you down!" Although Huang Yuexiang knew that with her daughtersâ abilities, they could easily carry such a heavy solid iron block, as a motherâs concern for her daughters, she still worried and quickly asked her daughter to put down the box in the living room.
"Mom, this is the gift I brought for you. Open it and see if you like it," said Wang Zhitin with a smile.
"What is it?" Huang Yuexiang curiously opened the large wooden box, and her daughterâs gift came into view.
It was a life-sized humanoid puppet that was nearly two meters tall. It looked extremely majestic, wearing an iron armor that resembled that of an ancient general, making it look even more imposing.
The only thing that didnât quite fit was that the majestic appearance of the puppet was actually very handsome. It didnât resemble a rugged general at all. Whatâs more, its face was exactly like Wang Yueâs, except that the facial features were proportionally enlarged.
"Valiant Great General!" Wang Zhiting exclaimed the name of the puppet exaggeratedly, then asked, "Mom, do you like it?"
"Itâs just a puppet. Whatâs there to like or dislike?" Huang Yuexiang said. "And whatâs wrong with its face?"
"If itâs supposed to resemble a real person without a face, wouldnât that be strange?" Wang Zhiting said. "It wouldnât be appropriate if it looked like someone else, so I made it look like my brother."
"Alright, but whatâs the use of having it? To place it in the living room or yard to ward off evil spirits?" Huang Yuexiang asked.
"Our Wang familyâs manor is already a feng shui treasure land. Thereâs no need to ward off anything," Wang Zhiting laughed. "Its actual purpose is to be placed in the bedroom to keep you company."
"Having such a thing in the bedroom means that whenever I open my eyes, Iâll see an armored monster. Are you trying to scare me to death?" Huang Yuexiang said irritably.
"You donât like the Great General design? Thatâs easy to fix," Wang Zhiting smiled slightly and ordered the puppet, "Remove your armor!"
Surprisingly, the puppet was intelligent. Upon receiving Wang Zhitingâs voice command, it immediately began to move. Although it was slow, it carefully removed each piece of its iron armorâone by one: first the helmet, then the shoulder pads, breastplate...
"What on earth are you doing?" Huang Yuexiang watched as the "Valiant Great General" slowly removed its armor and couldnât help but ask.
Wang Zhiting chuckled. "Youâll understand in a moment."
Before long, the puppet had completely removed the armor from its upper body. Huang Yuexiang realized that apart from the armor, its upper body was completely naked. It was clear what was happening, so she quickly said, "Okay, stop it."
"But once the command is given, it wonât stop until itâs completed," Wang Zhiting explained.
