The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 199. Substitute Messenger Plan
Chapter 199: 199. Substitute Messenger Plan
Yu Qing bowed to the young woman and said, "Elder Yan Fu, we have an important matter for which we need your assistance."
Fang Zhou also cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Elder Yan Fu, sorry to disturb you!"
Elder Yan Fu smiled and sized up Fang Zhou, then stepped aside to open the door, "No need for formality, please, come in."
Fang Zhou and Yu Qing entered the bamboo house, and Wang Xiuzhu nervously whispered a greeting to the elder, then followed them in.
Inside the bamboo house, it was unexpectedly spacious. All the furniture was made of bamboo, and everything was bathed in a vibrant green hue. The faint scent of bamboo lingered in the air, making people feel relaxed and refreshed.
Fang Zhou noticed that the table in one corner of the bamboo house was adorned with various bamboo crafts, very delicate and beautiful.
It seemed that Elder Yan Fu was quite a craftsman.
Elder Yan Fu invited the three to sit down, waved her sleeve, and three cups of steaming tea appeared on the table.
She placed the tea before them, while asking, "What brings you to me?"
Yu Qing and Wang Xiuzhu’s gazes fell on Fang Zhou.
Fang Zhou pointed at Wang Xiuzhu beside him and smiled at Elder Yan Fu, "Yu Qing told me that Elder Yan Fu is proficient in the disguise technique. Could you disguise him to look like me?"
Wang Xiuzhu was startled, and then felt Elder Yan Fu’s gaze on him, making him stiffen and let her scrutinize him.
After a few glances, Elder Yan Fu smiled, "Of course, no problem. Please wait, Wang Xiuzhu, come with me."
Wang Xiuzhu could only muster his courage and follow Elder Yan Fu to the back of the bamboo house.
Only then did Fang Zhou have the time to take a sip of tea. The taste lingered in his mouth, refreshing and invigorating. The tea was clear and green, without any tea leaf residue.
Moreover, the tea had a faint spiritual energy, making him feel very comfortable after drinking it.
Yu Qing quietly asked from the side, "Fang Zhou, why do you want Wang Xiuzhu to disguise as you?"
Fang Zhou leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Do you remember the incident with the Demon Sect person at Iron Sword Mountain?"
Yu Qing felt her ear heating up, her entire face starting to flush, and she dumbly maintained the position.
"Of course I remember, why are you bringing it up?"
"Because this is for safety."
Wu Lin mentioned that Demon Sect people frequently appear around Iron Sword Mountain, and now they’ve even sent someone to infiltrate the mountain, likely targeting Dragon Fire.
In other words, it isn’t very safe there now. Fang Zhou needs to go to Iron Sword Mountain periodically to supervise the construction of the commercial city.
If one day the Demon Sect members cause trouble at Iron Sword Mountain and Fang Zhou is present, it would be very dangerous.
Fang Zhou hadn’t forgotten that he slapped that Demon Sect member to death. The opponent might be looking for an opportunity to seek revenge.
So he plans to have Wang Xiuzhu impersonate him to supervise the construction at Iron Sword Mountain, while he avoids the risk. After all, checking the progress is not an important task.
Wang Xiuzhu is only slightly shorter than Fang Zhou, so wearing height-enhancing shoes will suffice. Few people have interacted with Fang Zhou, so now it depends on Elder Yan Fu’s disguise technique.
If it succeeds, this plan will be called Substitute Messenger, and Wang Xiuzhu will be Fang Zhou’s Platinum Star.
Yu Qing was taken aback by Fang Zhou’s idea and asked, "Won’t Wang Xiuzhu be in danger?"
Fang Zhou waved his hand, "Do you think Iron Sword Mountain is very dangerous? Elder Wu Tie is there for sure; he can hold the fort. Wang Xiuzhu is also in Foundation Establishment Realm, and there are many people around to protect him. There’s no danger. It’s just a precaution."
Yu Qing was convinced, besides, if Fang Zhou doesn’t go to Iron Sword Mountain, won’t his meetings with Wu Lin be fewer?
Of course, this had to be communicated to Wu Tie and Wu Lin in advance. Without their cooperation, Wang Xiuzhu’s character might not be able to pull off the disguise.
Not to mention Wu Lin’s situation; Wang Xiuzhu probably couldn’t handle it and would be exposed quickly. So it’s better to clarify early.
After waiting for a while, before the tea was finished, Elder Yan Fu soon brought Wang Xiuzhu out.
Seeing Wang Xiuzhu, Fang Zhou was almost shocked, nearly thinking he saw another himself.
Wang Xiuzhu had completely transformed, except for being a bit shorter, his appearance was almost identical to Fang Zhou.
But there were slight differences in the details, most notably his demeanor, his eyes, and expressions were timid, looking like a cowardly version of Fang Zhou. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Fang Zhou could mask his inner fear with an air of confidence.
Wang Xiuzhu was flamboyant when in power, but timid when he lost it, unable to emulate Fang Zhou’s demeanor.
Nevertheless, the disguise was far better than Fang Zhou had anticipated.
Yu Qing was also very surprised. She had heard of Elder Yan Fu’s high-level disguise technique before, but didn’t expect it to be this advanced.
Fang Zhou stood up and compared himself with Wang Xiuzhu. At first glance, they looked like twins, almost indistinguishable. Fang Zhou even checked Wang Xiuzhu’s face, finding no trace of the disguise, as if he was born with that face.
The only flaw was probably the voice, so Wang Xiuzhu would need to speak less or try to mimic Fang Zhou’s tone.
Fang Zhou’s curiosity peaked, and he couldn’t help but ask, "Elder Yan Fu, how is this achieved? Of course, if it’s a secret, pretend I didn’t ask."
Elder Yan Fu chuckled, "It’s no secret. This is a result of my concoction, Muscle Softening Liquid."
Elder Yan Fu was previously an alchemy enthusiast and randomly managed to create a liquid that can soften muscles and bones.
This liquid is non-toxic, with no side effects, and after use, can mold the face like clay, but the effect lasts only about a month before reverting.
Fang Zhou was instantly excited, seeing great commercial potential. This could be a path to becoming a millionaire.
But Elder Yan Fu saw the liquid merely as a trivial gadget, ignoring its value like letting a goldmine slip.
However, it wasn’t the time to discuss this, so he decided to approach Elder Yan Fu privately later about cooperation.
He expressed his thanks to Elder Yan Fu again, but she smiled and said, "No need for thanks, I actually have a request that I hope you, Fang Zhou, can help with."
Fang Zhou immediately grew cautious, wondering what she wanted.
Previously, Li Ruyu had requested Fang Zhou to extinguish her ire at the Mountain God Temple, leaving a deep impression. Now, he couldn’t help but recall it.
But Elder Yan Fu seemed like a genuine person, unlikely to make excessive demands.
Fang Zhou calmly said, "Go ahead."
Elder Yan Fu pulled out a book from her sleeve, looking rather shy, "Could you ask Old Master Ji for an autograph or a seal for me? I’m an avid reader of his."
Fang Zhou glanced at the book, it was homemade, with graceful handwriting on the cover: Old Master Ji’s Works Collection.
Hell, I just praised you for being upright.
Fang Zhou kept his composure, accepted the book, and smiled, "Of course, no problem, it’s a small matter."
With everything settled, Fang Zhou and the others prepared to take their leave.
However, before leaving, Fang Zhou hesitantly asked Elder Yan Fu, "I have a small request. The tea here is very delicious, can I take some back?"
Elder Yan Fu generously said, "No problem at all. This tea is called Bamboo Leaf Green, picked and roasted by me. Take as much as you want."
"Thank you, Elder,"
Fang Zhou thanked her generosity and happily pulled out a gourd.
