Capítulo 1795: Chapter 1795: Descending the Mountain
Jian Shiqing was silent for a long ti, then said in a low voice, “Mr. Chen, you know the situation now. Besides proving that the person lying in the coffin is a fake, there is another thing you need to prove.”
“What is it?” Mr. Chen asked in surprise.
Jian Shiqing said, “Not only was my father murdered and his identity swapped, but even I have been… The Young Master everyone speaks of is not actually . After Fu Jian turned into my father, he brought back a child and had that child take my place. I am now Jian Shaoye of Tianhai Mountain Villa, the adopted son of Zhu Haisheng.”
“Ah…?” Mr. Chen looked utterly shocked, and after a mont, he beca furious, “Absurd, truly absurd. Who is the fake? Is it the one with the surna Qu from back then?”
“That’s not his real identity either!” Jin Luoyin sighed, “The person you t is not his true face. Everything will only be known once that Master of Disguise is found.”
…
Jia Ren had finally collected the herbs he had waited months for, feeling imnsely happy.
Today, he changed into clean clothes, tidied up his hair, and changed his facial disguise.
He smiled at Jin Xuyao and said, “I can help you remove the fake face, but the condition is that you must graduate. Before you graduate, whether or not you wear the fake face is up to . After you graduate, whether or not you wear it is none of my business.”
“Are you going back on your word?” Jin Xuyao was almost out of patience.
“Don’t forget, you forced it on , and acknowledging you as my master was not my voluntary choice!”
“I don’t care!” Jia Ren shook his head, humming an off-key tune while packing his things, “Co down the mountain with first. Learn as much as you can in these days. If you want to take it off soon, it depends on your ability!”
Jin Xuyao: “…”
For more than a month, the two had been in the mountains. When they ca down, they finally saw the imperial notice in the market.
“Jia Ren? Who is Jia Ren?”
“Your junior sister Lun Tong left so belongings for you before her death. Upon seeing the imperial notice, please proceed quickly to Tianhai Mountain Villa to retrieve them?”
This was the most peculiar part of the imperial notice that everyone had seen.
Was it a search notice?
Upon seeing the notice, Jin Xuyao already knew who had written it.
They used this tactic to lure Jia Ren out.
Jin Xuyao looked at the old man beside him, only to find him staring at the imperial notice in a trance. The skin on his face was fake, but his gaze… startled Jin Xuyao.
“Master, what’s wrong with you?”
Words couldn’t describe the expression in his eyes—shocked, terrified, and in disbelief, he shook his head.
Then Jia Ren pushed through the crowd on the street and ran away.
Jin Xuyao had a hard ti finding him, and if he let him escape again, it would be difficult to find him once more.
He hurriedly chased after him!
Jia Ren ran without direction, exiting the small town at the mountain’s base, and Jin Xuyao chased him out of the town.
From dawn till dusk, and then from dusk till dawn again!
The two of them were like madn, one fleeing, the other chasing.
Jia Ren, being old, was one of the few old eccentrics left in the world.
With age, his body was not what it used to be.
By the riverbank, exhausted and out of strength, he plunged his head into the river, gulping down water.
Jin Xuyao, panting heavily, crouched by the stream, gently cupping water to take a sip, then quickly pulled up the old man who was gulping water.
“Why are you running? Are you afraid of the imperial notice, or are you afraid of your junior sister?”
Jia Ren kept choking on water, unable to speak.
