Chapter 231: The Four Great Constables

The next day, Ye Xiu began demonstrating his disguise skills in front of Ah Zhu. As Ye Xiu's nimble hands repeatedly smeared, traced, and kneaded his face, his handsome features transformed into something completely different. What

surprised Ye Xiu was that Ah Zhu, even Wang Yuyan, and even the Tianshan Child-Grandmother, didn't seem at all surprised by Ye Xiu's overnight mastery of disguise.

"Is my disguise skill up to par?" Ye Xiu asked Ah Zhu.

"Well, it's passable, but there's still a lot of room for improvement. For example, when you used Potion No. 3 just now, your timing wasn't right, and here..." Ah Zhu nodded, pointing out the flaws in Ye Xiu's disguise.

As Ah Zhu instructed, she couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of this diary. Not only did those who read the diary receive a monthly reward, but Ye Xiu, relying on his magical diary, had mastered the art of disguise, which had once been a mystery, to such a proficient level in just one night.

Even Ah Zhu couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated. She had endured so much hardship, put in so much effort, and consumed so much time to study this art, while Ye Xiu had achieved this feat in just writing a diary entry.

Ye Xiu nodded, taking Ah Zhu's words to heart. Then, he couldn't help but ask, "Well, there's a lot to learn about disguise. Aren't you surprised I've mastered it so quickly?"

"Surprising?" Ah Zhu paused, then smiled. "You knew how to disguise before, though it was a bit crude. But you had a solid foundation. Yesterday, you learned a more advanced technique from me, and then integrated it with your existing foundation. It's only natural that you've mastered it to this level today."

"Yeah, that seems to be true." Ye Xiu hadn't expected Ah Zhu to think that way.

But if Ah Zhu believed that, then it was only natural that he had mastered it to this level today.

In reality, Ah Zhu was sweating. She'd read Ye Xiu's diary and knew that with its help, Ye Xiu could master disguise so quickly. But he'd forgotten. He didn't know she knew about Ye Xiu's diary.

"Hmph, so, young man Ye, are you here to show off on purpose today?" Tianshan Tonglao added at this point, sort of compensating Ah Zhu's words.

"No, no, I just compared the disguise technique Ah Zhu taught me with my old one. I feel my level has improved a lot, so I wanted Ah Zhu to evaluate my skills. If they're about the same, I won't need to stay here to learn anymore," Ye Xiu said with a smile.

"Young Master Ye, at your current level, you really don't need to continue learning. From now on, just pay attention to the key points I just mentioned and figure it out on your own." Ah Zhu said darkly, "But, to just walk away after draining me of all my money? Young Master Ye is truly heartless."

"Huh?" Ye Xiu didn't expect Ah Zhu to say that out of the blue.

"Just kidding. Young Master Ye, you must have something important to do, so hurry up and get going." Ah Zhu winked mischievously, looking quirky.

"Well, if what you're about to do is difficult and you need help, you can ask me for help. After all, you've been a great help to me. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have become a Grandmaster of the Zhixuan Realm," Tianshan Tonglao said with considerable pride.

Tianshan Tonglao was indeed quite proud of her current situation. Although she had been trapped by Li Qiushui in her twenties and unable to break through, she had now successfully broken through and become a Grandmaster, even reaching the Zhixuan Realm.

Hearing Tianshan Tonglao's words, Ye Xiu was slightly taken aback, but a certain interest was brewing within him.

After all, if Ye Xiu wanted to obtain the Heshi Bi, he would have to venture into Jingnian Zen Monastery. The Four Vajras of Jingnian Zen Monastery, along with the abbot Kong and others, were all extremely powerful.

Ye Xiu didn't even know if the Four Great Monks, who claimed to be able to unite against Grandmasters, would be among them.

Ye Xiu felt that the worst-case scenario was facing Ning Daoqi, a Taoist monk who had willingly served as a lackey for Cihang Jingzhai.

These were all aspects Ye Xiu needed to consider.

In fact, if Pang Ban hadn't been watching, Ye Xiu would have even considered bringing Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai along. With these two Grandmasters, obtaining the He Clan Jade would have been incredibly easy.

Now, with the help of Tianshan Tonglao, a Grandmaster, or even a Grandmaster from the Profound Realm, Ye Xiu's difficulty in obtaining the He Clan Jade would have been significantly reduced.

However, Ye Xiu and Tianshan Tonglao weren't particularly familiar with each other. His understanding of her came solely from the films and TV series he'd watched before his time travel.

Although Ye Xiu believed his Divine Illumination Sutra had helped Tianshan Tonglao, allowing her to begin to grow and develop again,

Ye Xiu couldn't guarantee her character or whether she would be tempted by the He Clan Jade. If she were, he would be facing a Grandmaster from the Profound Realm.

Furthermore, Ye Xiu felt that while the worst-case scenario would involve facing Grandmaster Ning Daoqi, that was only the worst-case scenario.

If even the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty were able to obtain the He Shi Bi, then Ye Xiu felt he shouldn't have any trouble.

Even if it proved difficult, the worst that could happen was that he could play dirty tricks, quietly plotting things until the Twin Dragons got their hands on it. Then, Ye Xiu

would launch a surprise attack and reclaim the He Shi Bi. The Twin Dragons' ability to obtain the He Shi Bi was largely due to their cultivation of the Changsheng Jue, which gave them a degree of resistance to the He Shi Bi's energy radiation.

Ye Xiu, on the other hand, had mastered the entire Changsheng Jue, not just a single section like Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. Therefore, Ye Xiu felt his resistance to the He Shi Bi's energy radiation should surpass theirs.

Therefore, Ye Xiu remained confident in his ability to obtain the He Shi Bi.

"Thank you, Grandma, but there's no need for your help. I'm just pressed for time, but it's not that difficult. I can handle it on my own," Ye Xiu said with a smile.

Upon hearing Ye Xiu's words, the Tianshan Child-Grandma merely snorted, not actually rushing to offer Ye Xiu assistance.

After learning the art of disguise, Ye Xiu said goodbye and left.

However, when Ye Xiu left, Wang Yuyan, who had been as quiet as a fairy, seemed to be hesitant to speak. After all, she was unable to communicate with Ye Xiu. In the end, she could only watch Ye Xiu's back and sigh softly.

"Yuyan, you can't do this. Ye Xiu is different from other men. He has seen too many beautiful women and is surrounded by too many beautiful women. In addition, because of the diary, those beautiful women are very proactive. So he has developed a passive personality. When faced with a beautiful woman, even if he thinks she is beautiful, he will not rush to approach her. If you want to win his favor, you have to take the initiative." Tianshan Tonglao shook her head after hearing Wang Yuyan's sigh.

"I--" Wang Yuyan lowered her head a little aggrieved.

"Yuyan, wouldn't it be better if you treat Mr. Ye the same as Mr. Murong?" Ah Zhu said with a smile.

Wang Yuyan was stunned by this, her cheeks flushing with shyness as she glared at Ah Zhu.

Back at Mantuo Villa, Wang Yuyan had only ever met Murong Fu, so she was very proactive towards him.

She pushed for whatever Murong Fu liked. Murong Fu loved martial arts, so Wang Yuyan memorized every martial arts manual in the Langhuan Blessed Land.

It could be said that Wang Yuyan was Murong Fu's biggest bootlicker.

Although her diary had changed her feelings about Murong Fu, and she had finally left Mantuo Villa and met many people outside, which broadened her horizons, she

didn't necessarily think any of the men she had met were better than Murong Fu.

This time, she felt that Ye Xiu, in terms of looks and temperament, was a step above Murong Fu.

So, it seemed reasonable for Wang Yuyan to change her target of licking—

…

Ye Xiu naturally didn't know that after he left, Ah Zhu had bewitched Wang Yuyan into doing her own licking.

After Ye Xiu left, he began to quickly hurry towards the Great Sui Dynasty.

To ensure that the Heshi Bi wouldn't be obtained beforehand, Ye Xiu even employed the Wind God Kick, a light-lifting skill. Anyone passing by seemed like a puff of smoke, and ordinary people would only feel a gust of wind passing by, not even realizing it was a person.

His Grandmaster-level cultivation, coupled with the Wind God Kick's light-lifting skill, made Ye Xiu's speed far faster than even a thousand-mile horse.

Of course, if it was a special beast, Ye Xiu's speed wouldn't be comparable, but strange beasts themselves were incredibly rare. Many were even legends, making it impossible for ordinary people to encounter them, let alone take them as mounts.

At least Ye Xiu, even with the backing of Dongfang Bubai's Sun and Moon Sect, Yao Yue's Yihua Palace, and even Murong Qiudi's Tianzun Organization, couldn't find a unique beast for him quickly.

Fortunately, Ye Xiu's Grandmaster-level cultivation allowed him to use Qing Gong for extended periods of time, and overall, his speed was quite good.

As Ye Xiu neared the Song Dynasty's capital, Kaifeng Prefecture, he passed a person using his Wind God Leg. Suddenly, the person's eyes lit up, and they exclaimed, "Excellent Qing Gong!"

Then, with a kick of their foot, they overtook Ye Xiu and caught up.

Ye Xiu was using the Wind God Leg, moving at a speed that balanced speed and energy consumption, ideal for extended travel, when he heard a gust of wind behind him. Then, someone suddenly appeared beside Ye Xiu, running at almost the same speed.

Ye Xiu looked at the person in surprise.

The man looked a bit unkempt, appearing a bit slovenly, and even reeked strongly of alcohol.

Overall, however, his appearance was quite good, with a hint of cynicism on his face.

"Hey, bro, your Qing Gong is quite good. How about we have a competition?" the man said with a smile when he saw Ye Xiu looking at him.

While performing Qing Gong at a fairly fast speed, he was still able to speak normally, his tone of voice perfectly clear.

This clearly demonstrated his exceptional skill in both physical and internal cultivation.

"Hey, bro, you want to compete with me in Qing Gong?" Ye Xiu stared at the man in astonishment. He hadn't expected him to chase him down just to challenge him in Qing Gong.

"Indeed, besides my drinking, I'm most proud of my Qing Gong. Seeing your excellent Qing Gong today, I'm in the mood to compete with you," the man said with a smile, but even as he spoke, his slightly drunken eyes flickered across Ye Xiu's face.

"His Qinggong skills are incredibly advanced, and his internal energy is profound, yet his face is disguised, not his true form. So who is this person? Why is he hiding his true identity? Has he committed a crime? Or is there some ulterior motive?"

Zhui Ming pondered as he expressed his desire to challenge Ye Xiu to a Qinggong competition.

Indeed, the man who had chased Ye Xiu to a Qinggong competition was none other than Zhui Ming, one of the Four Great Constables.

Not long ago, Zhui Ming had pursued the Lingnan thieves for twelve days and nights, exhausting their BMWs to death.

During those twelve days and nights, Zhui Ming hadn't drunk a single drop of alcohol. After completing his task, he indulged in three days of heavy drinking.

Even now, upon returning to Kaifeng Prefecture, he still reeked of alcohol, looking as if he were still drunk.

As one of the Four Great Constables, Zhui Ming's observations were naturally meticulous. No clue escapes his gaze, which explains why Zhui Ming's tracking skills are renowned and feared by countless.

Initially, Zhui Ming noticed Ye Xiu running at breakneck speed. Curious, he gave chase, only to discover that Ye Xiu wasn't revealing his true face, but a disguise. This piqued his interest.

Although Ye Xiu's disguise technique is highly skilled, capable of deceiving even the most skilled, those without exceptional expertise would be unable to detect Ye Xiu's disguise.

However, Ye Xiu encountered Zhui Ming, one of the Four Great Constables, and was immediately spotted.

Even if Ye Xiu had encountered Iron Hand or Leng Xue, two of the Four Great Constables, they might not have been able to detect Ye Xiu's disguise.

It was simply a coincidence.

"Sorry, brother, I have things to attend to, so I can't compete with you." Ye Xiu shook his head, continuing his usual pace and frequency.

"Things to attend to? Are you planning to commit a crime, or have you already committed one and are trying to escape?"

Zhui Ming asked jokingly. Ye Xiu was stunned by this, then shook his head. "You're overthinking it. I really do have things to do. I'm not a criminal at all."

Ye Xiu claimed he wasn't a criminal, but he couldn't help but wonder, was stealing the Heshi Bi a crime? Probably not. And who was this person? He possessed superior Qinggong internal strength, yet he spoke of "crime" and "criminal."

This person must be connected to the Great Song Dynasty court.

Someone from the Great Song Dynasty court with such impressive Qinggong skills? Ye Xiu had a rough idea of their identity. Zhui Ming

kept his eyes fixed on Ye Xiu as he spoke.

He sensed that Ye Xiu did indeed have something to do. It might not be a serious matter, but it certainly wasn't a crime. Because Ye Xiu's eyes didn't show any panic.

With a decision in mind, Zhui Ming relaxed a little.

"Well, since you have things to take care of, then forget it. But I really admire your Qinggong. After you finish your business, how about we make an appointment and have a good competition?" Zhui Ming said to Ye Xiu with a smile.

"Okay, okay."

"Okay, then it's a deal. Whoever loses buys the other a drink." Zhui Ming made this agreement on his own.

Ye Xiu was a little speechless.

"By the way, I'm Zhui Ming. What about you? We've just scheduled a duel, but we don't even know your name?" Zhui Ming asked casually.

"My name is Ip Man," Ye

Xiu casually said. Ye Xiu hadn't wanted anyone to know his true identity during this trip, so he'd temporarily changed his name to Ip Man since leaving Huashan.

After all, no one in this world knew the "I'll beat ten people" meme.

Now that Zhui Ming asked for his name, Ye Xiu casually said Ip Man, which seemed quite natural.

"Ip Man? Okay, when you're done, come find me at the Shenhou Mansion in Kaifeng Prefecture. My name is Cui Liaoshang." As Zhui Ming introduced himself, he mentally went over the name Ip Man, making sure it had nothing to do with anything he knew. Of course, Zhui Ming had considered it a fake name. After all, Ye Xiu's face was fake. Zhui Ming was acting out of caution.

"Okay!"

Ye Xiu saw Zhui Ming stop and didn't think too much, still running at his own speed and frequency.

Zhui Ming watched Ye Xiu disappear from his sight in the blink of an eye, but he remembered the name "Ip Man" in his heart. At the same time, he also remembered Ye Xiu's figure and even the Qinggong skills that Ye Xiu performed.

In the future, whenever there is a situation that meets the conditions of "Ip Man", he will think of "Ip Man" first.
