Chapter 2011: Imposter

Zu An’s inner world was actually completely shattered. He'd never expected to one day have to become a woman.

Big sis Yun, big sis Yun, look at how much I’ve sacrificed for you... How will you make it up to me in the future?

He secretly gave the two big melons in front of his chest a little prop. His entire body felt uncomfortable.

Of course, he hadn't gone so far as to change his body into a woman’s completely. The appearance-changing skill wasn’t that miraculous either. Even though he did have a skill to become a woman, he definitely wouldn’t use that! He had only changed his face, hairstyle, and outfit to match Yun Jianyue. Fortunately, Yun Jianyue had a tall figure, so he didn’t have to shrink his frame too much.

Many sect members who didn’t know the truth bowed to her. After all, Yun Jianyue’s prestige over the years had been quite high.

The Yin Yang Path Master and the others looked at Lu Sanyuan with expressions of alarm.

After his initial shock, Lu Sanyuan reacted quickly. He gave the Yin Yang Path Master a look and said through ki transmission, “Go and expose her. There is no way she could be Yun Jianyue.”

The Yin Yang Path Master swallowed with difficulty and replied, “But... But what if it really is her?”

“There is no 'what if'.” Lu Sanyuan said calmly. Even if the person before them was real, they still had to prove that she was a fake.

When he saw the killing intent in Lu Sanyuan’s eyes, Yin Yang Path Master took a deep breath. He didn’t have any way out in this situation, so he could only brace himself and walk forward.

Suddenly, Lu Sanyuan gave his nearby direct disciple Ding Xia a look. Ding Xia nodded and left silently. Lu Sanyuan sighed in relief.

This kid Ding Xia is extremely reliable. It was him who secretly wiped out the forces loyal to Yun Jianyue, and he only came back not too long ago, granting us a useful helping hand.

Zhang Zitong, who had always been hiding in the crowd, silently followed Ding Xia. She was full of admiration.

Sir really is amazingly brilliant! He actually knew that Lu Sanyuan would secretly order someone to leave.

But where is sir? Why isn’t he back yet? Nothing happened to him, right?

How could she possibly know that the Sir Eleven she always thinking about was actually standing right in front of her as a woman? There was no way Zu An would tell her about something so awkward.

...

Meanwhile, the Yin Yang Path Master walked over. He summoned his courage and looked at Zu An, saying, “You... You aren’t Sect Master Yun. Just who are you to dare impersonate Sect Master Yun?!”

Everyone in the hall was stunned. What kind of situation was this? Where did the Yin Yang Path Master get the courage to go against Sect Master Yun? Only certain people who had received bits and pieces of special information began to think to themselves.

Zu An laughed, replying, “Why do you think I’m not Sect Master Yun?”

“Of course I know...” Midway through his sentence, the Yin Yang Path Master’s expression stiffened. He naturally knew what kind of condition Yun Jianyue was really in, but how could he say it in front of so many people? Fortunately, he suddenly thought of something and said, “Sect Master Yun is currently at a critical juncture in her cultivation. She told us that she wouldn’t come out for quite some time, so how could she possibly be here?”

Immediately after, he looked at Elder Xi and said, “Elder Xi, as someone who is also from the Heavenly Devil School, I believe you are the most familiar with Yun Jianyue. Do you think this one is real or fake?”

Elder Xi grimaced inwardly. He had never expected such a situation to appear. With how things stood, however, he could only brace himself. He put on an act and sized up Zu An. He thought that it was really Yun Jianyue who had made an appearance, but after giving Zu An a few looks, he stared blankly for a moment. Then, he roared with laughter, saying, “This person is fake; she is definitely not Yun Jian... ahem, definitely not Sect Master Yun!”

This person was really similar, but there were some slight details that he could still recognize as being off. Of course, if he hadn’t known that Yun Jianyue had no chance of being here and that he was working backward after knowing the answer, he likely wouldn't have noticed those slight differences.

Li Feiqing immediately became nervous. He exclaimed, “That’s clearly Sect Master Yun! We're all here, and we’re not blind.”

On the elevated platform, Lu Sanyuan gave the Freedom Path Master a pensive look. He thought to himself, Is this kid really doing this brazenly out of his admiration for Qiu Honglei, or did the path master incite him to do this? Even so, he didn’t see anything strange from the Freedom Path Master’s expression.

Elder Xi’s expression turned cold. He said, “Sect Master Yun is honored and glorious. A young disciple can only bow to her from afar! Is your understanding of her greater than mine as a Heavenly Devil Path elder?”

Li Feiqing was at a loss for words. That was indeed the case, as disciples like them were too far in status from Yun Jianyue, so there was no way they could know her that well.

Suddenly, there was a lovable laugh. Qiu Honglei walked up to Zu An’s side and replied, “I don’t think Elder Xi understands my master as well as I do, right? This is clearly my master, and yet you’re saying she isn’t. Just what kinds of schemes are you planning?”

When they heard those words, the sect members who were starting to be a bit swayed snapped out of their daze.

Right, she clearly looks exactly the same as Sect Master Yun, and even the saintess is testifying for her, so how could she still be fake? And yet this Elder Xi instead insists she’s fake, as well as that Yin Yang Path Master. What kind of plot are these two colluding on?

Whe they thought about how the saintess was being mysteriously married off to the Yin Yang Path’s Fang Long, many people began to pick up on something.

A plot! There is definitely some conspiracy at play!

Qiu Honglei was even leaning against Zu An. When the crowd saw their intimate behavior, no one had any more suspicions. Everyone in the sect knew that Sect Master Yun and the saintess were like mother and daughter. This level of closeness wasn’t something that could be acted out.

They didn’t know that Qiu Honglei was actually secretly kneading Zu An’s chest, asking through ki, "Just what kind of disguise did you use to look so similar to her?"

Zu An was annoyed. He quickly replied through voice transmission, “Stop kneading them already. You’ll make them explode. I used pears.”

Qiu Honglei really had to hold herself back. If it weren’t because they were in the wrong place for it, she would have already been rocking back and forth with laughter. She replied, “Stop talking, please... Your getup really looks pretty good. Huh? Wait, why do you know my master’s measurements so well? There’s no difference at all.”

Zu An was speechless. Gooseb.u.mps covered his entire body. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and said, “For people at my cultivation rank, our eyesight is obviously first-rate. It’s not hard for us to estimate these kinds of things.”

“Hmph, you’ve actually been sneaking secret looks at master! I’m definitely going to tell on you later," Qiu Honglei replied.

Zu An had a strange expression.

That’s not all, I even personally... Ahem.

...

Elder Xi quickly spoke about the ways in which Zu An was different from Yun Jianyue. If he had started with that, perhaps the others would really have started doubting; however, at this point, nothing he said mattered anymore. They all thought the was just making things up.

Elder Xi was really panicking now. He snapped, “Then this old one will prove it!”

He rushed forth and grabbed at Zu An with a raven-like claw. He knew fully well that this person could impersonate Yun Jianyue’s face, but there was no way they could impersonate her cultivation. He was basically the number two figure of the Heavenly Devil School, so his cultivation was naturally profound. As he moved, his hands were filled with black energy, and the air around him even warped a bit.

Many people narrowed their eyes.

As expected of Elder Xi, he's already half a step to the grandmaster rank!

It seems he’ll become a true grandmaster not too long from now.

Qiu Honglei said with a cold snort, “Hmph, you’re not qualified to be my master’s match!”

Then, her figure moved quickly. Her body bent like a drawn bow.

Everyone present sighed in amazement. The saintess’ waist really was slender and flexible!

In just a few moments, Qiu Honglei's hand erupted with a streak of blinding light. Soon after, the light condensed into a sharp arrow and flew forth.

Arrow of Judgment!

Everyone present recognized the attack. It was the saintess’ ultimate move.

Many people cried out, warning Elder Xi to go easy so he wouldn’t hurt her.

Elder Xi sneered.

This girl really overestimates her own abilities. She dares to make me her enemy? It seemsYun Jianyue has spoiled her too much, to the point where she really thinks she's without equal in this world!

He used fifty percent of his cultivation and sent a black hand imprint at the arrow of light. He felt that bit of power was already more than enough to defeat a young junior. Meanwhile, more of his attention was on Zu An. This mysterious person was actually able to impersonate Yun Jianyue! He felt that he couldn't really see through them.

However, his expression quickly changed. The arrow of light was incredibly sharp and hard to stop. It pierced straight through his hand imprint. Elder Xi tried to change his attack, but it was already too late. The arrow tore through everything with irresistible force and penetrated his palm. He screamed bitterly and dropped from the air. As he looked at his bleeding palm, he was a bit shocked.

Gasps filled the air from all round the hall. They hadn’t expected the awe-inspiring Elder Xi to be so useless! He couldn't even block the attack of a junior, and yet he was trying to challenge the master?

Lu Sanyuan and the others’ expressions turned a bit cold. Elder Xi had actually underestimated his opponent? He really wasn’t someone suited to shoulder heavy responsibility. They were already thinking of gradually removing him from their plans, as there was no need to share benefits with such trash.

Even so, that la.s.s Qiu Honglei is a bit surprising. Even if Elder Xi underestimated her, he shouldn’t be someone she could defeat at her age. Ding Xia’s apt.i.tude is already high enough, and I personally taught him with great care, but his current cultivation doesn’t seem to be up to par with hers.

She was clearly not this strong a few months ago. Just what did she go through since then?

Qiu Honglei smiled at Zu An rather proudly, as if to say, “Look at how amazing I am! Praise me!”

Sure enough, Zu An smiled and nodded, saying, “Honglei’s efforts in seclusion weren’t for nothing. It seems you’ve already mastered what you received earlier. However, that was also thanks to your master.”

Qiu Honglei’s face reddened, as she now realized what he was implying. She had still actually been a bit off from perfection before. But that day, when the two of them finally connected, after the waves after waves of battering, and especially the flooding rich with life force and spiritual ki, she'd been shocked to discover that the shackles restraining her fully unraveled. Her cultivation realm had even become a bit higher.

At the time, she'd been really happy, but also a bit gloomy.

Could it be that the reason why Chuyan was able to cultivate so quickly, and yet I felt as if I couldn't catch up no matter what, was because of this difference?!

“The saintess is amazing!” The Treasure Hunter Path’s Fatty Hu was the first to shout in praise. He was just here to watch something interesting and didn’t mind things getting even more out of hand.

What followed was a tremendous rush of cheers in support. Many young disciples’ faces even turned red. After all, Qiu Honglei was the target of their admiration to begin with. Not only was she beautiful, her cultivation had also reached such a high level. Wasn’t this a G.o.ddess among G.o.ddesses?

When he sensed the atmosphere, the Yin Yang Path Master’s expression became a bit unhappy. He could also sense Lu Sanyuan looking at him, and knew he couldn't continue to stall. As such, he took a step forward and looked coldly at Zu An, saying, “This old one wishes to ask your respected self for a bit of guidance. You wouldn’t make a young junior go against me, would you?”

He now felt a bit more at ease. Qiu Honglei had been in a rush to act, likely to s.h.i.+eld this imposter. It seemed their cultivation wasn’t any good after all, and they’d be exposed as soon as they try to fight.
