Capítulo 2069: Chapter 398: The Art of Language 3
Wang Yue was completely confused, but he believed that the girl would give him an answer, so he didn’t ask any more questions.
It was breakfast ti, and there were quite a few students dining in the restaurant.
Wang Yue thought that the girl would find a seat and sit down with him to talk. But instead, she walked straight to the back of the restaurant. She didn’t stop even when passing by the kitchen and bathroom doors, continuing further inside.
Further inside was the residence of the owner, Yu Yan.
Wang Yue beca even more puzzled: Could it be that this girl was another disciple of Yu Yan? Or maybe a relative of hers? But such a person shouldn’t know him.
When she reached the end of the corridor, the girl finally stopped and turned around to face Wang Yue.
Then, sothing strange happened. The girl’s face kept changing, and soon it beca a face that Wang Yue recognized.
“Yingying?!” Wang Yue couldn’t believe his eyes. He looked utterly astonished.
“Young Master Wang, I’m sorry. I was so happy to see you just now that I forgot I had changed my face,” Li Yingying said, feeling a bit embarrassed. Her voice also returned to its normal state.
“What’s going on?” Wang Yue still hadn’t fully processed what had happened.
Li Yingying explained, “This is a little trick that my master taught . It uses true energy to change the muscles in the face and throat, thereby altering one’s appearance and voice. To be safe, my master always has disguise myself whenever I enter or leave here in an unusual way.”
Wang Yue was speechless at Li Yingying’s casual attitude towards this skill. It wasn’t so trivial trick. If used properly, it could even be considered a divine skill.
Disguise techniques are said to be very common in legends.
But ordinary disguise techniques usually involve wearing masks or applying heavy makeup to hide one’s true appearance.
These can easily be detected by advanced technological ans or powerful martial artists.
Advanced martial artists who try to change their appearance through surgery or injections will have their changes quickly reversed by their bodies’ natural self-cleaning abilities.
Even if they use true energy to control these self-cleaning abilities, it will still be detectable by stronger martial artists as a fluctuation in true energy.
But Li Yingying’s disguise technique not only changed her muscles but also produced no detectable fluctuations in true energy.
Once she changed her appearance, even a transcendent power might not be able to spot any flaws. What else could this be but a divine skill?
Li Yingying was extrely intelligent and imdiately noticed Wang Yue’s amazent and desire. So she asked, “Young Master Wang, do you also want to learn this?”
“Yes, this skill would be very useful to . Can you teach ?” Wang Yue asked.
Li Yingying nodded. “Of course…”
“No!” Before Li Yingying could finish speaking, a voice interrupted them. Then, Yu Yan opened the door and looked at them seriously.
“Master.” Li Yingying was surprised. Her master had seed completely uninterested when teaching her how to disguise herself.
Moreover, this skill had nothing to do with martial arts inheritance.
That’s why she had decided to teach it to Wang Yue without permission. But who would have thought that her master would actually oppose it.
“Co in and sit down,” Yu Suxin invited Wang Yue and the others into the room, then closed the door behind them.
“Master, didn’t you say this wasn’t so special skill? Why can’t you teach it to Young Master Wang?” Li Yingying asked, confused.
Yu Suxin replied calmly, “It’s not a special skill, but it can’t be casually passed on to others. That’s my rule.”
“I understand, senior,” said Wang Yue. “Please state any conditions you have. As long as I can learn this disguise technique, I’ll do whatever it takes.”
“The condition is simple: if you can fulfill it, I’ll teach you the disguise technique without holding back anything,” said Yu Suxin.
“Please clarify your conditions, senior,” Wang Yue said, bowing in a martial artist’s manner.
Yu Suxin nodded and said, “That is, from now on, you are not allowed to pursue Yingying anymore.”
Wang Yue said, “Why would you say that, senior? I’m not pursuing Yingying at all.”
Li Yingying also complained, “Master, what are you talking about?”
Yu Suxin ignored Li Yingying and looked at Wang Yue, asking, “So, do you agree or not?”
“I’ve said it before, I’m not pursuing Yingying,” Wang Yue said seriously. “If you consider normal interactions between friends as ‘pursuing’, then I’m sorry, but I can’t do that. After all, Yingying’s sister is soone close to . I can’t avoid seeing her.”
“…I indeed was too vague in my words,” Yu Suxin admitted her mistake. “Let’s change the condition to: you must never pursue Yingying, nor can you beco lovers with her.”
“That’s certainly no problem,” Wang Yue laughed. “I never intended to pursue Yingying, let alone beco lovers with her.”
Li Yingying’s expression darkened imdiately. Although she hadn’t had such hopes, Wang Yue’s straightforward words still hurt her.
Yu Suxin was quite satisfied and nodded. “That’s a wise choice. In fact, I’m doing this for your own good. Yingying’s future is limitless. A small place like Jinling is just like a small pond to her. And those so-called three major families won’t ever be on the sa level as her in the future. With different social classes, even if they force themselves to be together, they won’t be happy.”
These words were quite hurtful. Wang Yue wanted to retort with sothing like, “Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Don’t look down on the poor young people.”
But after thinking about it, he decided not to say anything. Such words sounded too immature, and he wouldn’t want to say sothing he might regret later.
Besides, Wang Yue didn’t like empty talk. To prove sothing, actions speak louder than words.
So he didn’t argue and simply said, “Now, can you teach the disguise technique, senior?”
Yu Suxin didn’t dislike Wang Yue at all. In fact, she even admired his humble yet confident deanor. The reason she didn’t want him to be with Li Yingying was exactly what she had told her: the two would belong to different social classes in the future.
It was like a princess and an ordinary small landowner—there was no way they could be together.
Moreover, Yu Suxin wasn’t soone who broke her promises. She imdiately taught Wang Yue the detailed thod of controlling muscles.
This technique was extrely complex. It took Li Yingying three full days of study to barely master it.
But Wang Yue was different. Right after Yu Suxin finished explaining, he felt that he could already do it. However, he didn’t want to show off his true abilities in front of Yu Suxin, who wasn’t very familiar with him. So, he simply morized the technique and continued asking questions: “Senior, is this kind of technique common?”
“It’s not common at all,” Yu Suxin shook her head. “At least in the ordinary martial arts world, I’ve never heard of any school that uses this technique.”
“That’s good then. Otherwise, the world might fall into chaos,” Wang Yue said, relieved.
