The eunuch in the cold palace: You get the Nine Yang Divine Skill right from the start!

"Why are they all so ugly?"

Shen Mo looked them over. The male mask looked like that of a sixty-year-old man, and the female mask looked like that of a woman in her fifties. The key point was that they were both very ugly.

Qin Jiangyue immediately tried to snatch it back: "Give it back if you don't like it."

"Oh well, I'll just have to make do with it."

Shen Mo tucked the mask into his pocket and asked curiously, "Are all these masks made of human skin? That's too cruel!"

"You wish! Do you think a human skin mask is enough just because it has human skin?"

Qin Jiangyue rolled her eyes and explained, "Human skin masks are extremely difficult to make. Only the mask I wore when we first met, which was Ding Shurong's, was made of human skin. All the others are made by soaking deer hide in medicine and then carefully polishing it."

"I see."

For some reason, Shen Mo felt a sense of relief, perhaps because he didn't want to believe that Qin Jiangyue was the kind of person who would indiscriminately kill innocent people.

While eating, Qin Jiangyue explained the details of the disguise.

Disguise is more than just wearing a mask.

Besides the face, the hair, skin, body shape, speech, and gait must also match the person being impersonated.

We were full and satisfied.

"Burp~"

Qin Jiangyue let out a burp, attracting the attention of many people in the distance. She immediately glared back fiercely, cursing, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen an old woman burp before? Go look at your grandma if you want to!"

Everyone was so frightened that they quickly looked away.

Shen Mo coughed lightly and said, "Mind your image!"

"When I was naked in front of you, why didn't you remind me to be mindful of my image?" Qin Jiangyue gave her a disdainful look.

Shen Mo was speechless for a moment, unable to respond to this.

Qin Jiangyue took out two books and said, "With your high comprehension, you learned the Myriad Gu Indestructible Body technique so quickly. You must be able to learn these two unorthodox methods very quickly as well. Also, I will be leaving the capital soon."

He stared silently at the title pages of the two books.

"One Hundred Solutions to Disguise" and "The Art of Bone Shrinking"

"The Hundred Explanations of Disguise" is, as the name suggests, an explanation of the art of disguise. The art of bone shrinking has been widely known in the Thousand Schools for a long time. After deceiving someone, members of the Thousand Schools need to disguise themselves to escape. However, appearance is easy to change but body shape is difficult to alter. This is where the art of bone shrinking comes in handy.

After reviewing the information, two new messages appeared before Shen Mo's eyes.

[Disguise Techniques: Beginner (1/100)]

[Bone Shrinking Technique: Beginner (1/100)]

The art of disguise and simple bone-shrinking transformation, though only at the beginner level, were already thoroughly memorized.

After Qin Jiangyue finished eating and drinking, she patted Shen Mo on the shoulder and was about to get up and leave.

Shen Mo looked up: "When will you be back?"

Qin Jiangyue smiled slyly, "What's wrong? You're reluctant to part with your sister?"

"I'm worried about delaying my breakthrough to the Blood Core stage. Didn't you say you'd need my help to condense the Blood Core?"

"You heartless bastard!"

Qin Jiangyue sneered, grabbed a bowl of wine and threw it at Shen Mo, who slapped the table and nimbly dodged it without getting a drop of wine on him.

She turned and left angrily.

"Hello!"

"What?" Qin Jiangyue turned around and asked impatiently.

Shen Mo said calmly, "Take care!"

Qin Jiangyue was stunned for a moment, then left behind a barely audible sentence: "You too."

After saying goodbye to each other.

Shen Mo went to the street to buy some disguise materials. After returning to his room upstairs in the inn, he put on a mask and made a simple disguise before using his bone-shrinking technique.

His bones contracted, making a crackling sound like popping beans. His casual clothes, which had been just right, suddenly became a size too big. Fortunately, he had bought a set of clothes for the elderly beforehand. After changing into them and making sure no one was around, he slowly went downstairs.

"Eh? Eh? Eh!"

The waiter stopped him and asked, "Sir, when did you book this room? I've never seen you before."

"You must learn to respect the elderly!"

Shen Mo lightly patted the waiter's shoulder, and the waiter felt a sudden weight on his shoulder, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud. Watching Shen Mo's departing figure, he muttered, "I must have forgotten to check the almanac today; one strange old woman and one strange old man after another has come..."

Suxin Nunnery.

Shen Mo mingled among the worshippers, burning incense and praying to Buddha, and no one noticed him.

Then, he found Su Chan, who was wiping the table, and said, "Master, I'm here to see someone."

"Who are you, benefactor?"

Su Chan looked completely bewildered. What kind of stranger would come to the nunnery looking for someone? This wasn't a market.

Shen Mo couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

"Amitabha!"

The abbot caught up from behind Su Chan and said, "Benefactor Shen, it seems you're taking that young lady away?"

"Abbot, you have keen insight." Shen Mo returned the greeting respectfully, not surprised that his disguise had been seen through.

"You're Shen Mo!?"

Su Chan belatedly realized what was happening, picked up a broom and started hitting him, complaining, "Serves you right for making fun of me!"

"You must not be disrespectful to Benefactor Shen!" After reprimanding her, the abbot added, "Benefactor Shen, please wait a moment, I will bring that female benefactor over shortly."

"I would like to trouble the abbot to find me a quiet meditation room."

After the abbot left, Su Chan became very curious about Shen Mo's mask, touching and stroking it here and there.

Shen Mo said irritably, "Be gentle, this is the only mask I have!"

"mean!"

A moment later, Shen Mo followed the abbot to a quiet meditation room, where He Cailian was already waiting.

"Eunuch Shen, are you taking me to see the Emperor?"

"No, I want to take you away from this place of trouble."

Shen Mo took out another mask, as well as several disguise tools.

He Cailian seemed to be thinking about it, and quickly nodded in agreement.

Fifteen minutes later, the once youthful and beautiful He Cailian transformed into a frail and old woman.

Shen Mo then taught her some basic knowledge of disguise, such as imitating an old woman's voice and walking mannerisms. Unexpectedly, He Cailian imitated it perfectly almost in one take, showing a remarkable talent for performance.

"Old woman, shall we go?"

Shen Mo spoke, his voice aged and weathered; he was now playing the role of He Cailian's husband.

He Cailian replied, "I'll listen to your old man."

The two walked down the mountain together, like an elderly couple who had lived half their lives together.

Shen Mo escorted her to the canal wharf.

This place connects the waterways of the entire Great Qian Dynasty, from north to south, with both merchant ships and passenger ships.

He Cailian, who had been silent the whole way, suddenly spoke up: "Eunuch Shen, is His Majesty going to kill me?"

"You are very clever; His Majesty has ordered me to kill you personally."

Shen Mo nodded, his tone quite helpless.

In this respect, he was quite disappointed in the emperor. He Cailian was clearly the victim, but what could he do when the emperor was the supreme ruler?

He Cailian lowered her head and sighed softly: "In the eyes of those big shots, the lives of ordinary people like us are like willow catkins, which will scatter with a gust of wind."

"Please be careful on your journey, and remember to send me a letter when you get home to let me know you've arrived safely."

While giving her instructions, Shen Mo quietly handed her several silver notes.

He Cailian declined several times, but unable to refuse, she had no choice but to accept it.

"Eunuch Shen, how can I ever repay your great kindness?" Her expression was complicated, and her heart was even more complicated. The dignified Crown Prince was killing innocent people for his own selfish desires, while Shen Mo, a mere eunuch, risked his life to save her.

Why is there such a big difference between people?

Shen Mo smiled and shook his head: "If I were doing this to repay you, I wouldn't have saved you. If you insist on thanking me... perhaps we'll meet again someday. Buy me a drink!"
