Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 188 Let me see what's going on
In Anan Town, JX Province, lives a somewhat special Quanxing.

Many people know his identity but do not cause him trouble. In fact, many prominent families, officials and nobles have sought his help.

Because he didn't do much wrong, he only ever took money to do things, and he possessed a unique skill—disguise—he was known as Liu the Masked Man.

On this day, he was dealing with two young Quanxing members who wanted him to pass on his skills when suddenly someone knocked on the courtyard gate and a figure stepped into the courtyard.

The man was tall, nearly 1.9 meters, and wore a thin silk robe that seemed a bit too light for early spring, with a simple dark blue cloak draped over his shoulders.

His appearance made it difficult to discern his exact age, but his demeanor was extraordinary. Liu, the man in the dough, frowned and pondered for a moment, then his expression changed and he stood up: "Could it be Mr. Zhuge?"

The newcomer was Guan Yi. He nodded to Liu Wei, the man in the mask, and said, "It is Zhuge Yi, Mr. Liu."

Mr. Zhuge? Zhuge Yi? The two young Quanxing members were stunned for a moment, then suddenly showed expressions of horror.

Is he the strongest sorcerer, the number one extraordinary person in the world, and the patriarch of the Zhuge clan of the Wuhou faction, who almost slaughtered half of the Quanxing seniors five years ago?!

This person is renowned in the Quanxing sect. His deeds and powerful methods have earned him the heartfelt admiration and fear of the fearless seniors in the sect.

Why did he come here?

Is something going to happen to Master Liu?!

I'm going to die!

"You two little brats, get out of here. You're not qualified to learn my methods." Liu the Clay Figure took a deep breath and said, "The dignified Master Zhuge wouldn't stoop to attacking two juniors like you."

"But...but you..."

“If he wants to deal with me, even if he brings all the prominent figures in the Quanxing Sect, they might not be able to stop him.” Liu the Clay Figure waved his hand dismissively: “Get lost, get lost.”

“Let’s go.” Guan Yi also smiled and said, “Mr. Liu, there’s no need to provoke me. I don’t hate Quanxing that much. I’ll kill those who have committed many evils on the spot. This kind of unfamiliar young man may just have made a mistake. I will always give him a chance.”

"Mr. Zhuge is kind and generous."

The two young Quanxing members, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, hurriedly left the courtyard and discussed what to do next, at a loss.

In the courtyard, Liu, the clay figurine artist, cupped his hands and asked, "Since you're not here to kill me, then it seems that there's a place where Mr. Zhuge can use my methods?"

"Yes, Mr. Liu, could you please change my makeup and disguise me as this person?" Guan Yi took out a portrait with his height and weight marked on it from his pocket.

“Somewhat unfamiliar.” Liu, the clay figure, took the mask and frowned. “Without seeing the person in person, there will inevitably be some differences. I shouldn’t ask too much, but I’m really curious and need more information to help me complete the disguise—what could a dignified Master Zhuge possibly have that requires you to change your appearance beforehand?”

"It's good that it's roughly accurate. This target is a man of few words, so he'll be easy to disguise." Guan Yi smiled. "As for what to do... I plan to have some fun with your sect leader. I'm worried that going directly to him might scare him."

“Sect Leader…” Liu Weiwu, the clay figurine artist, murmured a sigh of sorrow, then nodded and said, “Please come inside. My method will only last for about a month. During this time, it is best for Mr. Zhuge not to have any violent conflicts with anyone. If you wish to remove it earlier, simply remove the hidden talisman.”

Before long, Guan Yi, who had emerged from the courtyard of the dough figurine maker Liu, had completely changed his appearance.

His height dropped to around 1.8 meters, his face changed to be calm and honest, with thick eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and a mustache above his lips, making him look reliable.

"Mr. Liu, you have some impressive skills."

It's an absolute perfect recreation; even the person being imitated would feel like they're looking in a mirror when they see the other person!
……

Dong Chang felt like he was looking in a mirror.

A few months ago, Dong Chang and Xu Xin, who were in the Tang Clan, received an unsigned letter from Wu Gensheng, inviting them to a gathering in May.

Neither of them knew what they were thinking. They said they wouldn't agree, but they both chose to leave the Tang Sect under the pretext of finding a place to go into seclusion and comprehend the Dan Shi technique.

Their seclusion was genuine, and their cultivation was genuine, but now that the agreed time was approaching, the two tacitly set off again to keep their appointment.

Unexpectedly, halfway through their journey, they encountered a man who looked exactly like Dong Chang. Xu Xin was immediately astonished: "Old Dong, you actually have a twin brother?!"

Dong Chang nodded slightly: "Ah, there is one, didn't I mention it?"

After a lighthearted remark, the two of them simultaneously decided to attack! Xu Xin pulled out a dagger and lunged at Guan Yizha: "Let me see if you're a human or a ghost under that skin, daring to impersonate Old Dong?!"

Dong Chang then circled around to the rear, unleashing his poisonous qi to provide support. Compared to ten years ago, both of them were now in their prime, having grown into the backbone of the Tang Clan's younger generation, possessing considerable strength.

But compared to Guan Yi, he was still far from being a match. He simply raised his right hand, used the Bagua Cloud Hand to deflect the Qi poison, blocked the attack, and stood still, able to deal with all attacks with just one hand.

After about ten moves, the two realized something was wrong and distanced themselves again. Xu Xin took a deep breath: "This guy's tough. Old Dong, are you a master from Wudang? Why are you impersonating Old Dong?"

Dong Chang frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that the face looked familiar, but Guan Yi simply waved his hand: "Again."

"Hey, I refuse to accept this!"

Xu Xin, annoyed, went up again, but two minutes later, he lay on the ground and mumbled incoherently, "I give up, I give up!"

Dong Chang, also looking disheveled, slumped down in front of Xu Xin and said, "Stop pretending, Xu. The Qi poison hasn't taken effect yet, delaying it won't help."

"Huh?" Xu Xin looked up and saw that the fake Dong Chang opposite him was still calm and composed, without the slightest sign of being poisoned. He couldn't help but twitch his lips: "He clearly got in... Who is this expert playing a joke on us brothers?"

They couldn't even budge the other person's footsteps, so the two of them naturally understood that they were no match for him. If the other party had intended to get serious, they might already be two corpses lying on the ground.

"It's me, Zhuge Yi. Ten years have passed, and you two have indeed improved quite a bit. Don't mind me, just kidding. I'm just getting familiar with Brother Dong Chang's movements so it'll be easier to continue impersonating him." Guan Yi said with a smile in his original tone.

Xu Xin and Dong Chang looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Is it really Mr. Zhuge?!"

"No wonder..."

"No... what are you doing?!"

Guan Yi countered, "It's not that I'm making a scene, but where are you two headed?"

"..."

Silence, a guilty conscience.

After a long pause, Dong Chang smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Zhuge is a man of brilliant strategy. We brothers' plans are naturally beyond your comprehension."

Xu Xin also sighed and said, "Don't ask why, neither of us knows the reason. Who knows what kind of magic that demon Wugensheng has? Suddenly a letter came, which really made Lao Dong and me curious, and we couldn't help but want to go to the appointment."

As they were talking, they suddenly realized something and looked at Guan Yi's face, which was exactly the same as Dong Chang's.

"You...you're not planning to..."

“My niece-in-law was also invited, and I’m curious to go see her,” Guan Yi said with a smile.

"..."

Wugensheng, you devil, you've harmed people!

You invited us, fine, but you even invited Mr. Zhuge's niece-in-law?!

A few days later, Guan Yi, disguised as Dong Chang, followed Xu Xin to the place where Wu Gensheng had invited them to gather, where they were greeted by Gao Gen.

Xu Xin tried hard to control his emotions, while Guan Yi remained as composed and calm as Dong Chang. The two stepped into the gathering place of the Thirty-Six Thieves together. Guan Yi's gaze swept around, taking in the faces of everyone who came.

Let me see what's going on!
