Chapter 227: Yue Buqun's Transformation

- Ye Xiu quietly left Huashan.

The process went incredibly smoothly, so smoothly that Ye Xiu found it a little unusual.

Ye Xiu had initially thought that convincing Dongfang Bubai and the others would be difficult, but it turned out to be surprisingly easy.

Ye Xiu simply spoke to them, shared his thoughts, briefly explained his situation, and made a few simple promises before being allowed to leave.

Dongfang Bubai and the others even promised to keep an eye on Jin Bingyun, Qin Mengyao, Wanwan, and Shi Feixuan, preventing them from noticing Ye Xiu's departure.

Descending from Huashan, Ye Xiu felt a bit dazed, feeling a bit uneasy.

However, since Dongfang Bubai and the others had promised to do everything, Ye Xiu naturally had no worries. So he began his journey towards the Great Sui Dynasty.

Of course, the Great Sui Dynasty was still a long way from the Great Ming Empire, and even if Ye Xiu advanced at full speed, it would take a considerable amount of time.

Around the same time Ye Xiu left Huashan, Yue Buqun and Linghu Chong also quietly left.

Yue Buqun naturally went to find Ping Yizhi for sex reassignment surgery.

As for Linghu Chong, he stayed by Yue Buqun's side, ready to take care of him and prevent any accidents.

Perhaps it was Linghu Chong who realized that it was because he kept the secret and didn't tell Yue Buqun about the Dugu Nine Swords, and didn't give them to Yue Buqun, that Yue Buqun had gone from a good man to what he was now. He felt guilty and felt that if he didn't do something for Yue Buqun, he would be letting him down.

Initially, Yue Buqun was a little reluctant about Linghu Chong's company, but he himself was a little unsure about the sex reassignment surgery, and having Linghu Chong, an acquaintance, along, helped to ease the pressure.

So Linghu Chong followed Yue Buqun. The

reason Yue Buqun went to find Ping Yizhi so quickly was actually part of Dongfang Bubai's plan.

Dongfang Bubai wasn't sure—no, it should be said he was very certain. The Huashan Sect was currently being watched by Pang Ban's men. Even if Ye Xiu left Huashan quietly, there was no guarantee he would be discovered. Therefore, Dongfang Bubai had Yue Buqun leave the mountain early. Yue Buqun and Linghu Chong went down the mountain, with a certain evasiveness. They

would definitely be discovered by Pang Ban's men, and Yue Buqun and Linghu Chong would inevitably divert their attention to observing and investigating Pang Ban's men. This would relieve some of the pressure on Ye Xiu. And

that was exactly what happened.

Ye Xiu, relying on his Grandmaster-level cultivation, his light martial arts skills like the Wind God Leg, and his familiarity with Huashan's terrain, quietly slipped down the mountain, truly unnoticed.

This lack of detection was partly due to Ye Xiu's own condition, but also partly due to the fact that Yue Buqun and Linghu Chong had distracted him.

Yue Buqun and Linghu Chong had indeed left the mountain quietly.

However, Yue Buqun and Linghu Chong's quiet departure—how could one explain it?—was a precaution, as they had no idea anyone was watching them.

This was more like a pretense of quietly descending the mountain. This action, however, easily caught the attention of Pang Ban's men, who then followed them.

Pang Ban's men needed to confirm Yue Buqun and Linghu Chong's identities, as well as their destination and purpose. They also had to

worry about whether one of them was Ye Xiu impersonating them.

Although Pang Ban's men assumed Ye Xiu was unaware of Pang Ban's plans,

they still had to be on the safe side. Regardless, Ye Xiu quietly descended Huashan Mountain, unnoticed.

After leaving Huashan Mountain, Yue Buqun and Linghu Chong quickly made their way towards Ping Yizhi's location.

"Chong'er, why does your master feel like someone's watching us again?" Yue Buqun frowned slightly.

At this moment, Yue Buqun was still very sensitive to outside gazes.

To avoid being looked at with skepticism, Yue Buqun even had to wash off his rouge and powder and change back into his old men's clothes.

Of course, Yue Buqun also packed several sets of women's clothing, which he planned to wear after his sex change surgery.

"Master, could it be your imagination? After all, we don't seem to have anything worth targeting." Linghu Chong scratched his head. After all, his strength was far inferior to Yue Buqun's. Yue Buqun was at the first level of the Grandmaster Realm, while Linghu Chong was only at the second level of the Innate Realm. Even though Linghu Chong had excellent aptitude, the gap in realm was clear. Yue Buqun could sense some anomalies, but Linghu Chong felt nothing at all.

"Really?" Yue Buqun nodded thoughtfully.

Yue Buqun also tried to look around to see if anyone was watching him, but despite repeated attempts, he found nothing. He eventually dismissed the feeling of being watched as an illusion, a heightened sensitivity due to his current gender. The slightest glance from someone would make him feel like he was being watched.

"Master—" Linghu Chong paused, looking at Yue Buqun, who looked the same as usual, wearing a fake beard. He honestly thought Yue Buqun was fine the way he was. The bright red and green he'd worn on Mount Hua seemed strange. "

What's wrong, Chong'er?" Yue Buqun looked up at Linghu Chong.

"No, nothing?" Linghu Chong ultimately couldn't articulate his inner thoughts.

After all, this was Yue Buqun's choice. He had previously explained to him that he had two options: cultivate the Rama internal energy and become a real man, or undergo sex reassignment surgery with Ping Yizhi and become a real woman. Of course, if Yue Buqun wanted to remain this ambivalent, that was fine too.

Among these two or three choices, Yue Buqun chose to become a real woman.

Linghu Chong knew that Yue Buqun had made up his mind. No matter how he tried to persuade him, it would be useless. He might even make Yue Buqun angry.

So Linghu Chong simply agreed to Yue Buqun's decision.

After all, Linghu Chong still felt that he had let Yue Buqun down. It was he who had made Yue Buqun what he was now. So he had no right to interfere with Yue Buqun's choice.

"Chong'er, your master knows what you are thinking. Even your master knows that becoming a man again will be good for Huashan, for you, and for your master's wife. It's just that during the time I was practicing the Book of Exorcism, I really liked being a woman. At the beginning, I was even angry again and again, angry about why I was not born a woman. Now asking me to go back and be a man again is even more painful than killing myself." Yue Buqun explained with a painful expression.

"I, I understand, Master. I also support your choice. As long as it is your idea, then there is no problem. You can even change your appearance and join the Huashan Sect with another identity. This is also good for the Huashan Sect." Linghu Chong looked at Yue Buqun's painful expression and said hurriedly.

"Chong'er, it's good that you understand Master." Yue Buqun looked at Linghu Chong with gratitude. "You're the second person who understands me. The first is your Master's Wife. It's obvious that your Master's Wife would be the most distressed by my transformation, but she's incredibly understanding and always considerate of my feelings. In the end, she even personally presented two options for me to choose from. Even when I decided to become a real woman, she didn't say anything, not even a look of disappointment. So, I truly feel sorry for your Master's Wife." Yue Buqun gently patted Linghu Chong's hand as he spoke, and when he mentioned Ning Zhongze, his face was filled with guilt.

Linghu Chong saw his hand in Yue Buqun's, but before he could react, he heard Yue Buqun's guiltily apologize to Ning Zhongze.

Linghu Chong put aside everything else and began to comfort Yue Buqun once again. At the same time, Linghu Chong truly felt that his Master's Wife was truly wonderful.

Even after Master became like this, his Master's Wife still respected his choice, completely respecting his heart's choice.

Linghu Chong felt that if he were in his master's wife's shoes, he would never be as tolerant as her.

This master and disciple truly thought Ning Zhongze was a kind person, and they sincerely respected him.

However, they were unaware that Ning Zhongze felt an inexplicable sense of guilt when facing Yue Buqun.

She even felt a hint of joy when she heard Yue Buqun say he wanted to become a real woman. Once Ning Zhongze noticed this glimmer of joy, it turned into a deep sense of guilt.

It's easy to say, things are unpredictable!

But now, the couple felt good about the situation, and both felt they had let each other down. This outcome was good, truly good.

They each had their own happiness.

Yue Buqun's feelings towards Linghu Chong had completely changed.

Previously, Linghu Chong had been selfish and had completely disregarded the development of the Huashan Sect. Despite the danger facing the Huashan Sect, Linghu Chong had completely turned a blind eye and refused to hand over the Dugu Nine Swords.

At that time, Yue Buqun was extremely disappointed with Linghu Chong and even considered killing him.

However, Linghu Chong had been raised by Yue Buqun, so despite his intense desire to kill him, he ultimately refrained from doing so.

Now, due to his health, Yue Buqun's personality has changed, and he is particularly sensitive and vulnerable in his current situation.

Ning Zhongze respected Yue Buqun's choice, but after all, she was his wife. Yue Buqun felt incredibly guilty whenever he saw her. The more pregnant she appeared, the more guilty he felt. He even avoided seeing her if possible.

But Linghu Chong was different.

He secretly followed her, eventually sneaking into Yue Buqun's residence, feeling deeply sorry for Yue Buqun's fate and responsible for his condition. Therefore, Linghu Chong had to convince himself, even hypnotizing himself, to respect Yue Buqun's choice.

Linghu Chong's respect and support were like the last straw for Yue Buqun.

Naturally, Yue Buqun's attitude towards Linghu Chong changed.

This was also the reason why Yue Buqun asked Linghu Chong to follow him down the mountain to find the famous doctor Ping Yizhi.

In short, the more Yue Buqun looked at Linghu Chong, the more he liked him.

...

"I left Huashan, and no one noticed my whereabouts."

"It's just that my disguise skills are a bit lousy. It's the kind I got from Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai, a very ordinary and common one. Although it can hide my peerless face, if you look closely, you can still see the flaws. I'm a little envious of Ah Zhu's disguise skills. I don't know how Ah Zhu practiced her disguise skills. It can be said that there are no flaws at all. In the original novel, the reason why she was recognized by Duan Yu was not the flaws in her disguise, but the smell of the perfume on her body. Except for that time, no one discovered her, whether she disguised herself as a young monk to steal the Yi Jin Jing, or disguised herself as Qiao Feng to face the Xixia warriors, or disguised herself as Xue Muhua to escape from Youjiazhuang, or even disguised herself as Duan Zhengchun to die."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Ah Zhu's disguise technique is simply superb! After all, Ah Zhu is such a petite little girl, and she can disguise herself to the point where even a tall and strong man like Qiao Feng won't be recognized."

"I'm thinking, after I get the He Shi Bi, should I make a detour to the Song Dynasty and learn Ah Zhu's disguise technique."

"No, I should go to the Song Dynasty first and learn Ah Zhu's disguise technique. After all, my information has long been heard by Pang Ban. If I go to the Sui Dynasty with my own face, or with a very poor disguise technique, to snatch the He Shi Bi. If I am recognized by someone, it will be a big trouble."

"The Song Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty are adjacent to each other. Although it takes a little detour, it is just right to go through the Song Dynasty and then go to the Sui Dynasty."

"But speaking of disguise, Lu Miaozi of the Sui Dynasty was also quite skilled, and the human skin masks he created were very realistic. But Ah Zhu's disguise technique can not only change faces, but also body shapes. Shouldn't it be a little more powerful?" "

After all, although Lu Miaozi is very powerful and a scholar, he puts too much thought into various aspects, even studying each aspect very thoroughly. But Ah Zhu is also very smart and is very focused on studying the art of disguise. It's normal that her disguise technique is a little better than Lu Miaozi's."

"The Song Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty. I wonder what happened to these two countries?"

"Did they develop according to the normal plot?"

"No, each country is made up of many stories. God knows how chaotic it would be. Just like in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Rong'er never went to the Song Dynasty, but came to the Ming Dynasty. She never met Guo Jing. The story of The Condor Heroes could not have unfolded normally. Even if Guo Jing still had to go find Yang Kang, without Rong'er's help, who knows what would have happened in the end." "

Besides, Guo Jing is new to the martial arts world. He has no strength and no experience in the martial arts world. What's more, he has a simple-minded personality. Without Rong'er's protection, he might not even meet Yang Kang, and he might be killed by others." "

Of course, for a chivalrous man like Guo Jing, a hero who serves his country and his people, I still hope that he can be fine. I hope that he can drink the blood of the snake raised by Liang Ziweng in Prince Wanyan's mansion, and then his internal strength will be greatly improved. I also hope that he can meet Hong Qigong as usual, and learn the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. I even hope that he can practice the Nine Yin Manual and become a powerful master." "

After all, who made Guo Jing a good person? Even though I stole his Rong'er, I still hope that he can be fine."

"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about Guo Jing."

"Let's talk about the Heshi Bi! After all, the Heshi Bi is my goal."

"I don't know how far the plot of Twin Dragons of Tang Dynasty has progressed—well, I just said the plot is all messed up, after all, Wanwan and Shi Feixuan have run off to the Ming Dynasty. The two main female protagonists in Twin Dragons of Tang Dynasty are gone, so what's the point of continuing the story?"

"Wanwan and Shi Feixuan, they are both new to the martial arts world—that's not right, they have been in the martial arts world for a while before, but they haven't developed to a certain level yet, so their reputation in the Sui Dynasty is not that big."

"So, have those two idiots Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling started practicing the secret of immortality?"

"After these two people practiced the Art of Immortality, their strength improved very quickly. I can't remember how long it took. What if they have already practiced the Art of Immortality to a small degree and are planning to steal the Heshi Bi?" "It's

a headache, really a headache! So we can't stay in the Song Dynasty for long. It's best to find Ah Zhu immediately and learn the art of disguise from her. After learning it, we will immediately set off for the Sui Dynasty. This way we can avoid missing the opportunity as much as possible." "

As for how to get the art of disguise from Ah Zhu. It should be possible to exchange it for information."

"Hasn't Ah Zhu always wanted to find out her own life experience?"

"I will tell Ah Zhu the news about her father, her mother, and her sister, and exchange this news for the art of disguise. I think Ah Zhu will not refuse."

"After all, in the original novel, Ah Zhu faced Qiao Feng's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms for Duan Zhengchun, a father she didn't even recognize, and finally died tragically at Qiao Feng's hands." "

So Ah Zhu should be willing to exchange for a mere art of disguise."

"But speaking of Ah Zhu's death, it's true, it's really the people involved who are confused! Duan Zhengchun was mistakenly thought to be the leader. Qiao Feng and Ah Zhu didn't believe Duan Zhengchun's age. When the Yanmen Pass incident happened, Duan Zhengchun was still a teenager. How could he have the reputation, status, and strength to be the leader of the Beggars' Sect?"
