Ning Buyi shook his head and said, "No, you're wrong."
An Qingwan said, "I was wrong?"
Ning Buyi said, "Sikong Tingxue and I can never be together."
An Qingwan asked, "Oh, why?"
"Because she and I are the same kind of people."
Ning Buyi left these words behind and then directed the members of the canal gang to dig a pit and bury the shopkeeper and his employees.
Are they the same people?
An Qingwan smiled and began to take stock of her gains.
Four people, four martial arts treasure chests.
An Qingwan didn't care much about those rudimentary skills; what surprised her was that she had now acquired a technique as miraculous as the Bone Shrinking Technique—
Disguise.
Ordinary disguise techniques require the use of human skin masks, which greatly limits their application, but this particular disguise technique is somewhat different.
With just some flour paste, you can apply it to your face and instantly change your age and appearance. Not only can it change your appearance, but it can also change your height, body shape, and voice. It can be described as miraculous.
The only problem is-
"I'm blind."
An Qingwan gently touched her forehead.
As a blind woman, it would be difficult for her to fully utilize the disguise technique.
However, even if it can't change appearance, it's already quite amazing that it can change voice.
Besides, although she herself doesn't need it, she can use it to protect herself from those skilled in disguise who might try to deceive her.
An Qing shut down the system that evening.
Turning around, I heard Jin Xueyi and Lan Xiaogu arguing outside.
"What happened to your foot?"
"Don't worry about it."
"I remember now, Pharmacist Fang said his throwing knife was poisoned, and you caught it with your foot. Could you have been poisoned?"
"It's just a trivial matter."
"His toes have turned purple, and he still says it's nothing."
"Why are you being so indecisive? I've already told you it's none of your business."
The two of them talked back and forth, pushing and shoving each other, looking like they were about to fight, until An Qingwan came out.
"Alright, stop arguing, let me take a look."
An Qingwan walked up to Lan Xiaogu, and before Lan Xiaogu could explain anything, she squatted down and gently took Lan Xiaogu's right foot.
This foot is small and delicate; holding it in your hand feels like holding a block of ice.
These are definitely not normal human feet; they are more like meticulously carved jade artifacts, and jade artifacts hidden in an ice cellar.
"Why are your feet so cold?" An Qingwan asked.
Lan Xiaogu laughed as she explained, "Hehe, it's so itchy... My feet have always been like this, it has nothing to do with poisoning. When I was little, I ate a clam, and since then, ordinary poisons have no threat to me. Hehehe... Although the poison on Pharmacist Fang's flying knife is potent, it can't hurt me. I just need to suck the poison out."
"Suck it out?"
An Qing nodded in the evening.
Just as she was about to use her internal energy to help Lan Xiaogu expel the poison, she heard Jin Xueyi beside her scream.
What, suck it out?
Jin Xueyi looked at Lan Xiaogu's toes, then at An Qingwan's lips.
No, absolutely not!
She shook her head vigorously and lunged forward.
"Let me do it!"
What are you going to do to my feet?
Startled, Lan Xiaogu quickly pulled her foot back.
Jin Xueyi explained, "I'll help you. There's no need to trouble Miss An with such a small matter."
Lan Xiaogu looked at Jin Xueyi with unfriendly eyes: "I have my own Gu worms to help me suck out the poison from my toes. What are you so eager to do? Do you have some strange hobby?"
what?
"Why didn't you take out your Gu worms sooner?"
Jin Xueyi was stunned.
Lan Xiaogu said angrily, "You keep stopping me, how am I supposed to take it out?"
Jin Xueyi was speechless.
Lan Xiaogu had indeed been saying that she was fine, but she couldn't have imagined these things. She just thought that Lan Xiaogu was putting on a brave face.
Although she and Lan Xiaogu didn't get along, she didn't want to see Lan Xiaogu get into trouble in front of her, otherwise she would feel uneasy.
Unexpectedly...
Jin Xueyi felt extremely upset; she truly had no way to refute this now.
How can she explain why she was so eager to go and lick Lan Xiaogu's lips?
—I just don't want to see Miss An nagging you!
It would be even more embarrassing to say that out loud.
Jin Xueyi could only look at An Qingwan with a wronged expression.
"I really had no ulterior motives towards her feet."
To Jin Xueyi's surprise, An Qingwan nodded after hearing this.
"I believe you."
"Really?"
Jin Xueyi's heart tightened.
An Qingwan said, "Really."
She could hear Jin Xueyi breathing.
If Jin Xueyi truly coveted Lan Xiaogu's feet, why couldn't you hear her rapid and excited breathing when she pounced on them?
Jin Xueyi was so moved that she almost cried.
Lan Xiaogu gave a soft snort and pouted.
Since An Qingwan had said so, she naturally chose to believe her; the An Qingwan in her eyes would not lie.
An Qingwan stretched out her hand: "Give it over here."
Lan Xiaogu exclaimed, "What are you stretching out?"
An Qingwan said, "Your feet."
Lan Xiaogu quickly replied, "I can manage on my own."
An Qingwan said, "If you're really that capable, why bother pushing and shoving Miss Jin? Why not just summon the Gu worms right in front of her? Don't try to be tough in front of me. This poison probably won't kill you, but you don't want to see your toes deformed, do you?"
Lan Xiaogu muttered, "You can't see anything, so how do you know everything?"
She reluctantly put her foot into An Qingwan's hand.
Now Jin Xueyi is going to laugh at her, which is one of the things she least wants to see.
To this day, she still remembers when Jin Xueyi introduced her to An Qingwan, she mentioned that An Qingwan had been beaten by Yan Hui and fallen into the water.
She actually holds grudges!
In no time at all, An Qingwan helped Lan Xiaogu expel the poison from her feet.
Meanwhile, Ning Buyi and Fu Zhiyuan had already buried the person.
Fu Zhiyuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you all for your help, but the situation of the Canal Gang is urgent, and I must go and inform the chief immediately. I will entertain you all after I deliver the message."
An Qingwan said, "Chief Fu, the reason we went out this time is actually to meet your gang leader and inform him of the conspiracy of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion."
Fu Zhiyuan was taken aback: "Is that so?"
Ning Buyi then recounted the whole story.
Fu Zhiyuan was overjoyed: "With you all by my side, I have even more confidence. Let's not delay any longer and set off now!"
Ning Buyi said, "Wait a minute. The Prince of Pingnan's mansion has been plotting for a long time. I suspect that they not only sent people to disguise themselves as members of your gang, but also secretly recruited many members of your gang. If we go directly there like this, I'm afraid we'll scare those people and make them afraid to show their faces. That would be really inappropriate. Since we're going to take action, it would be best to wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
Fu Zhiyuan asked, "What plan does Young Master Ning have?"
Ning Buyi said, "We'll disguise ourselves as your followers and wait for those people to come out on their own before we make our move. I happen to know a little about disguise."
Oh?
An Qingwan turned to look at Ning Buyi.
"Do you know how to disguise yourself?"
P.S.: Thank you for the spicy strips from Frosty Moon Shadow and the razor blades from Dark Night Feather.
I had some things to do this morning, so the update was a bit slower than usual. The evening update will be at the usual time.
32. Who is in favor and who is against?
More than ten gazes fell upon Ning Buyi.
Ning Buyi calmly replied, "My father has never liked my face, so I learned some disguise techniques. Although I can't say I'm very skilled, as long as I don't encounter my closest relatives, I shouldn't give myself away."
These words piqued An Qingwan's interest even more.
The difficulty of disguise lies not in "transforming" oneself into another person, but in "transforming" oneself into a real person without being recognized by those people who know that person.
Ning Buyi's words sounded like self-deprecation, but in reality, he was indirectly saying that his disguise skills were extremely high.
Fu Zhiyuan was a seasoned veteran; how could he not understand the meaning behind those words?
He burst into laughter: "With Young Master Ning's disguise skills, our journey will be much safer."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to pat Ning Buyi's shoulder.
But just as his palm was about to strike, Ning Buyi happened to walk in front of Lan Xiaogu and dodged the blow.
“Miss Lan’s figure is very similar to that of the one over there. If Miss Lan doesn’t mind, you might as well cooperate with me to give a demonstration so that everyone can feel at ease.”
Everything was so natural that there wasn't a single flaw to be found.
Even An Qingwan, who has exceptional hearing, couldn't tell whether what happened just now was a coincidence or intentional.
But if it was intentional, how perceptive must Ning Buyi's mind be to avoid it before Fu Zhiyuan could even make a proper patting motion on the shoulder?
Fu Zhiyuan awkwardly withdrew his hand.
However, he was naturally a carefree person, and his attention was quickly drawn to Lan Xiaogu.
Lan Xiaogu asked, "How do we cooperate?"
Ning Buyi said, "Miss Lan just needs to stand still."
The barefoot little girl stood at attention.
Ning Buyi took out a human skin mask from his pocket and held it up to Lan Xiaogu's face.
Then, his rough hands seemed to transform into fluttering butterflies.
Cut, slice, pinch, slice...
After the whole set of actions, he had Lan Xiaogu put on the human skin mask.
