Chapter 230: The Art of Disguise

"I didn't expect you, Young Master Ye, to be so handsome." Ah Zhu, perhaps sensing her own intimidating gaze, said with a grin, "Don't you think he's better looking than your cousin Murong Fu?"

Wang Yuyan instinctively opened her mouth to protest, but then she felt that Ye Xiu was indeed better looking than Murong Fu. In the end, Wang Yuyan blushed and lowered her head, remaining silent.

Ye Xiu, observing Ah Zhu and Wang Yuyan's reactions, felt Ah Zhu's behavior was quite normal. After all, Ye Xiu was truly confident in his appearance.

"Alright, Ah Zhu, I'll leave Ye Xiu to you. As for how to teach Ye Xiu the art of disguise, you'll be in charge." The Tianshan Child-Grandma seemed to be pushing all the work onto Ah Zhu.

"Okay, Grandma, don't worry. Leave it to me. Young Master Ye, wait a moment while I get the things I need for the disguise," Ah Zhu said to Ye Xiu with a grin.

Soon, Ah Zhu came out carrying a small rattan box. The box didn't look too big, a bit like a modern first aid kit, and could be easily lifted with one hand.

Ah Zhu took the box and sat down with Ye Xiu at a stone table and bench in a secluded part of the courtyard.

"Actually, if you want to learn the art of disguise, you first need to have a basic understanding of face reading, facial features, and the various coordination and coordination aspects. After all, only with this understanding can you use disguise to change the appearance of your eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and other organs. You also need to coordinate the organs with each other. For example, small eyes with a large nose bridge on the same face will give off a strange impression, easily causing others to notice something is wrong, and thus causing the disguise to fail. And then…"

Ah Zhu meticulously explained some basic information about the art of disguise. While explaining, Ah Zhu opened her small box, took out the items inside, and placed them in front of Ye Xiu. As she explained the use of each item, she also made changes to her own face, such as how to make a nose more upright, or how to make a large nose appear smaller. She

explained the various potions, the dosage of the potions, the pressure to use, how to change skin color, and so on.

For the first time, Ye Xiu realized how much the art of disguise actually contained.

Ye Xiu felt that Ah Zhu's disguise skills were even more terrifying than the makeup girls wear in modern society.

This was especially true of Ah Zhu's small box. Ye Xiu watched Ah Zhu pull out dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of items. These items weren't large, but the sheer quantity was overwhelming.

Many of the items looked identical to Ye Xiu, yet Ah Zhu could tell the difference.

Ah Zhu's excitement grew, her eyes lighting up as she described these items and her own disguise skills.

Ye Xiu felt that if Ah Zhu were transported to modern society, she would definitely become a popular beauty influencer.

Ye Xiu, however, felt overwhelmed by the sheer volume of things Ah Zhu had crammed into him

. Ye Xiu felt that learning disguise was far more difficult than martial arts.

Furthermore, compared to the little he had learned, the techniques Ah Zhu was teaching him were utterly awful; there was no comparison.

But something so intricate and complex also meant it was incredibly difficult to learn. By the time Ah Zhu finished explaining something, Ye Xiu's mind was in a tizzy, like a poor student learning calculus. Facing Ah Zhu, Ye Xiu suddenly felt like he was facing a math teacher.

...

"It's too difficult. It's really too difficult!"

"I didn't expect that a mere disguise would be so difficult!"

"It's completely different from what I imagined. Various potions, various combinations, and you have to understand the combination of people's facial features, and even the muscles and nerves of the human face. Oh my god, this is even more terrifying than calculus."

"I think it's difficult for me to learn the disguise with my brain."

"Even after getting the diary, my thinking has been optimized to a certain extent, but if I want to master the disguise to a very sophisticated level, I'm afraid it will take me several years to learn it by myself."

"No wonder Tianshan Tonglao said that the Xiaoyao Sect is proficient in all kinds of unique skills, but the only one who can truly master the disguise to perfection is Ah Zhu." "

However, I am now a person with a cheat after all, and I don't know if this diary will allow me to automatically learn the disguise. It would be best if the diary can automatically let me learn the disguise. If the diary doesn't help me, then I can only ask Ah Zhu to make me a human skin mask." "

After all, my current situation is quite urgent. I can't let anything go wrong with something like the Heshi Bi." "

However, I feel that everything should go smoothly. After all, I just arrived in the Great Song Dynasty and happened to meet the Tianshan Child-Fairy. Then, the Tianshan Child-Fairy is related to Azhu, so she brought me directly to Azhu and asked Azhu to teach me the art of disguise."

"Everything is going so smoothly, so I must be lucky. The diary should help me improve my proficiency in disguise."

"However, this world is worthy of being a world of comprehensive martial arts."

"Under normal circumstances, Azhu should have met Qiao Feng by now and followed Qiao Feng around the country. But in this world, Azhu has become a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect."

"Also, there is Wang Yuyan. In this world, she is also a master, even a grandmaster-level master, more powerful than me who has cheats."

"Tsk!"

"Anyway, it feels like everything is messed up. Wang Yuyan didn't chase after her unreliable cousin Murong Fu, who is obsessed with restoring the country but has no brains at all."

"This is my first time in the Great Song Dynasty, and there's a lot of information I don't know yet. If I knew more, I might think this world would be even more chaotic."

"In this case, it seems that my cheat that knows the plot well is almost useless."

"But it doesn't matter. I still have to rely on my diary. But I feel that the diary is still a bit lame."

"Look at other people's cheats. They start with the maximum level of martial arts, or a decade of martial arts skills. Mine only increases by one month's cultivation per day. If I can increase my cultivation by one year per day, that's about three hundred years of

martial arts skills per year. I might be invincible now." "Then why do we have to run around with our tail between our legs like now, trying to find a way to resist Pang Ban for a mere magician?"

"It's really too difficult for me."

"Now I just hope that the power of this He Shi Bi will exceed my imagination!"

"If the He Shi Bi can take my qualifications to the next level, my strength will be able to increase even faster." "

After all, the rewards given by the diary are based on a person's aptitude. If a person's aptitude is 1, then they will be given a month's worth of internal energy every day, which is 30. And if a person's aptitude is 100, then they will be given a month's worth of internal energy every day, which is 3000."

"According to my current aptitude, it should be around the level of 100. If the Heshi Bi can cleanse my essence and marrow, and can double my aptitude or even raise it to a level to 100, then the internal strength I gain in a day will be as much as 30,000." "

But I think this is impossible. After all, my aptitude of 100 should be similar to theirs - well, to be honest, I don't seem to know much about their aptitude, but at their age now, they can become grandmasters, so they should not be bad, and should all be able to impact the celestial being."

"Anyway, with my current aptitude, even without a diary, I can still become a celestial being if I rely solely on my own practice."

"Forget it, I don't quite understand what's going on here. Anyway, my aptitude should be no less than that of Pang Ban, who has already become a celestial being. Otherwise, Pang Ban would not have been able to target me."

"As for Zhang Sanfeng - I'm not sure about that."

"That's not right. Anyway, whether it's Pang Ban or Zhang Sanfeng, I'm just guessing it myself, so it's not worth saying."

"Anyway, I just hope that the He Shi Bi can make me stronger and more awesome. At the very least, double my qualifications."

"The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty! You better not give me the He Shi Bi now, or I'll really strangle you both to death. No, in The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, besides the Twin Dragons, there is also Ba Fenghan who was cleansed by the He Shi Bi. Tsk, a Turk!" "

The original novel beautifies Ba Fenghan very well. It's said that he grew up in the desert and his parents were killed by horse thieves when he was young. His relatives and friends were massacred by the Golden Wolf Army of the Turkic Khan Jie Li, which made Ba Fenghan hate the Turks and admire Chinese culture." "

But in fact, he was a horse thief before he clashed with Bi Xuan's eldest disciple and killed him!"

"His parents were killed by horse thieves, so he became a horse thief. Well, for survival. This is understandable. But in essence, he is not a good person."

"After killing Bi Xuan's eldest disciple, in order to be able to deal with Bi Xuan's subsequent pursuit, he ran to the Central Plains, and then began to challenge the major masters of the Central Plains. Before the challenge, he kept saying that he was a genius that Bi Xuan was afraid of and wanted to kill him as soon as possible, and that Bi Xuan was hunting him down to kill him as a genius. He kept flattering himself."

"And after he came to the Central Plains, he didn't care whether others were willing to fight him or not. When he saw someone, he didn't say a word and just drew his sword and went up. He was arrogant, barbaric, and cruel. This is his nature." "

That is, it was written in detail later, otherwise I can guarantee it. After Ba Fenghan killed Bi Xuan and became a grandmaster, he would definitely become a grandmaster worshipped by the Turks and become the Turks' trump card after Bi Xuan." "

After all, he is a Turk at heart. I don't believe that after he becomes a grandmaster, the Turks will kneel to welcome Ba Fenghan after losing Bi Xuan. Then Ba Fenghan would think that he is a Turk and will eventually return to his roots, and then follow him back to the Turks."

"Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts."

"Perhaps there are some good people who betray their brutal country to save their fellow countrymen, but such people are extremely rare. Ba Fenghan, after all, is definitely not one of those people. He's a horse thief, after all."

"Forget it, I wrote a cross again. Why write this? If I meet him, I'll just slap him to death."

After Ye Xiu finished writing his diary, he was filled with anticipation. Sure enough, the next moment, in addition to the usual month of internal cultivation, Ye Xiu's longed-for proficiency in the art of disguise increased.

Ye Xiu had originally only been forced to cram a bunch of theoretical knowledge into his head by Ah Zhu. This was also Ye Xiu's own request, and he was particular about swallowing it whole.

Ye Xiu also wanted to see if the diary could help him improve his proficiency in the art of disguise, but to improve, at least Ye Xiu had to have some knowledge of the art.

So, Ye Xiu forced his foggy mind to rehearse Ah Zhu's explanation of the art of disguise, including its many details, while he memorized them relentlessly.

And now, the harvest had arrived.

The diary, in Ye Xiu's mind, conjured up memories of Ye Xiu's endless practice of disguise. And now, this amazing, complex art, Ye Xiu had mastered it. And not only had he mastered it,

he had even mastered it. Ye Xiu's spirits trembled. His hands were itching to perform a disguise right now.

Unfortunately, Ye Xiu didn't have all the tools and potions on hand. And as for asking Ah Zhu for them now? It was already late, and knocking on someone's door so late at night was inappropriate, especially since Ye Xiu didn't know Ah Zhu well.

"Sleep, I'll ask Ah Zhu for the stuff tomorrow," Ye Xiu muttered, then went to sleep.

While Ye Xiu rested, Ah Zhu, sitting not far from him, hadn't slept at all. Her clothes were still neatly on. She was holding a diary, reading the entry for the day.

Ah Zhu felt sure Ye Xiu would write about her. After all, she had wasted so much time explaining the details of the disguise technique to Ye Xiu, and she was now a little thirsty. Sure

enough, Ah Zhu saw that Ye Xiu mentioned her again in the diary. Unfortunately, she didn't mention her very often, while Ba Fenghan was mentioned many times.

Ah Zhu also envied the daily rewards Ye Xiu received from his diary. As the owner of the diary, she only received one reward per month. In the past few months, it was just a guaranteed bonus, which was the benefit of Ye Xiu's internal cultivation in a single day, not to mention other benefits.

However, after reading the diary, Ah Zhu noticed that Ye Xiu's favorability towards her had increased significantly. Originally at 40 points, it had now soared to 60, a whopping 20 points—a significant increase.

"With so many mentions in the diary, and so much more favorable, I'm sure I'll get a lot when next month's bonus arrives." Ah Zhu beamed with joy. She felt that all the saliva she'd wasted that day had been well spent.

Not only Ah Zhu noticed Ye Xiu's favorability increase, but even Wu Xingyun had noticed a significant increase.

Originally, Ye Xiu's favorability towards Wu Xingyun was 47 points, but now, because she had brought Ye Xiu along and had Ah Zhu teach him disguise techniques, Ye Xiu's favorability towards Wu Xingyun had soared to 60, putting him on par with Ah Zhu.

Wang Yuyan, on the other hand, was a little disappointed.

It wasn't that Ye Xiu wasn't handsome; Wang Yuyan admitted that he was quite good-looking.

Ye Xiu did mention her in his diary, but it was only a passing mention. Ye Xiu's favorability rating for her did increase, but only slightly, from 48 to 49. Really, just a little.

This was actually quite normal.

This slight increase in favorability was due to Ye Xiu's encounter with Wang Yuyan today, which gave him a genuine impression of her. This increased his favorability rating. Apart from

that, Ye Xiu hadn't interacted with Wang Yuyan much. Even today, Ye Xiu was busy learning disguise techniques from Ah Zhu. Plus, Wang Yuyan was quiet, so she didn't get to say a word to him.

It would be strange to see how much Ye Xiu's favorability rating for her could increase.

Ultimately, all of this was Wang Yuyan's own choice. If she had offered Ye Xiu a cup of tea while he and Ah Zhu were learning the art of disguise, Ye Xiu's favorability towards her might have increased even slightly. Even just a little would have brought his favorability to 50.

The women of the Ming Dynasty couldn't help but curl their lips when they saw Wu Xingyun appear before Ye Xiu the moment he arrived in the Song Dynasty. They knew exactly what Wu Xingyun was planning.

And Zhu Yuyan, currently the only person in possession of Ye Xiu's diary within the Sui Dynasty, lit up after reading what Ye Xiu had written today.

"Someone!"

"Master!"

"Activate the Yingui Sect's channels and find a Turk named Ba Fenghan. This is a top priority. Notify me as soon as you find him."

"Yes!" The Yingui Sect members didn't know why Zhu Yuyan was looking for this Turk, but since it was her order, they naturally had no objections.

After all, Zhu Yuyan was the only Grandmaster of the Demon Sect in the past few decades.

After Zhu Yuyan ordered someone to find Ba Fenghan, her heart was full of anticipation. She believed that as long as Ye Xiu knew that she had eliminated Ba Fenghan, his impression of her would definitely improve. After all, Ba Fenghan was someone Ye Xiu hated and even wanted to kill.
