Chapter 73 The Fake Doctor
Plastic surgery! Body double!
Two words landed squarely on everyone's heads.
Everyone looked at Shen Lijun in disbelief. No wonder Junior Sister Lou called him a simp; now that they saw it, it was indeed extremely accurate. He could actually fawn over someone so humbly.
Shen Lijun covered his face. Had this given him away?
He confessed so readily partly because he hoped that after he was punished, Lou Yuqing's voice would no longer be heard. However, this wish was ultimately dashed.
Shen Lijun tilted his head and secretly glanced at Lou Yuqing, his resentment undisguised.
We're all from the same sect, so at least leave him some dignity. Even if he's eventually expelled from the sect and punished, we should at least save him some face.
Most importantly, if word got out and Qiu Yan heard about it, he would be completely helpless.
Although he wanted to get plastic surgery to look like that person, if it were exposed beforehand, the plan would not work.
Ling Yunxiao remained silent.
But a question lingered in my mind—can love really turn a person like this?
I don't know whether to call it magical or bizarre.
Kui Houming pinched the bridge of his nose. Such an outrageous motive! He originally thought Shen Lijun had taken three years of free training rooms out of greed, but it turned out she did this to save up spirit stones for plastic surgery? And to act as a stand-in?
He looked at Shen Lijun with a deep gaze. The sect's teachings had indeed gone terribly wrong!
Shen Lijun lowered his head and pretended to be dead.
Si Nidie noticed Shen Lijun's actions and chuckled.
When she first heard the news, she was so shocked that her mouth dropped open: No, I knew you were a sycophant, but I didn't expect you to go to this extent. Are you really willing to use someone else's face to please your sweetheart?
Furthermore, is this cosmetic surgery reliable?
Cultivators are constantly nourished by spiritual energy, so even if their appearance is not good, they won't be too ugly. In other words, their temperament is there, and they look different from ordinary people. Therefore, most cultivators don't care much about their appearance unless they have a unique pursuit in this regard.
This results in most cultivation techniques in the cultivation world being related to cultivation level.
On a whim, she searched for techniques to enhance her appearance. She found some, but they were either slow to progress or had very little effect on improving her cultivation.
Si Nidie gave up on her desire to become more beautiful, since she was already quite good-looking anyway.
Similarly, the information she gathered about plastic surgery was not very reliable. If you want to change your appearance, your bone structure also has to change, which will always hinder your cultivation, because you can't guarantee that the meridians inside will remain unchanged.
As the saying goes, "a single hair can affect the whole body," and after getting facial surgery, no one knows what might happen.
Si Nidie knew that there were some secret techniques that could change one's appearance, but the effect was only temporary. She had never heard of changing one's appearance permanently, although it was possible that she was simply ignorant.
The cultivation world has never lacked geniuses. Perhaps someone has already researched such secret techniques, but they have not been passed down. She guessed that Shen Lijun had obtained such an opportunity by chance.
As for whether there were any hidden dangers, she had no idea. However, seeing that Shen Lijun did not show any regret, she figured that even if there were any aftereffects, he would probably accept it willingly.
Lou Yuqing was completely unaware of the eye contact exchanged among the crowd.
Why did Shen Lijun decide to become a stand-in?
[Because at that time, after the death of her beloved, Shao Qiuyan was heartbroken and intentionally or unintentionally sought out a substitute, using her as a pillar of support, which helped her get through that difficult period.]
[When Shen Lijun pursued Shao Qiuyan, he was rejected by his beloved time and time again. Seeing that his beloved would rather find a substitute than give him a chance, he silently had an idea.]
If he had a face like that person, would Shao Qiuyan have focused her attention on him, accepted him, and fallen in love with him?
Once the idea took hold, it became unstoppable. Shen Lijun searched through the sect's entire library and finally found the secret technique for changing one's appearance.
He first used tricks to lure away the stand-in, then appeared before Shao Qiuyan with a face that looked remarkably like Bai Yueguang, successfully capturing her attention.
Si Nidie glanced at Shen Lijun, realizing that he had tried so early on, but it seemed he hadn't succeeded.
A hint of joy flashed in Shen Lijun's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a look of sadness.
If there were no other way, who would be willing to be a stand-in? He tossed and turned for many nights and came to the conclusion that perhaps Qiu Yan didn't like his appearance, so she refused to accept him.
After all, his face was somewhat different from that person's.
It's not that he's not good-looking, but rather that the two have different styles. The other person is a spirited, white-robed sword cultivator, while he is a simple-minded, foolish body cultivator.
He had considered practicing swordsmanship, but it must be said that swordsmanship requires talent. It took him several years to barely learn the basic sword techniques, and it was impossible for him to master the art of swordsmanship.
It wasn't until he saw Qiu Yan's enthusiastic attitude towards the somewhat similar stand-in that he finally broke his own bottom line. If he could use that person's face to win Qiu Yan's favor, he wouldn't mind.
Cruelly, although Qiu Yan initially gave him a friendly look, she quickly realized something was wrong and exposed that he was Shen Lijun.
At that moment, Shen Lijun felt both sorrow and joy. He was sad because he was drifting further away from his beloved, but he was also happy because she understood him, otherwise she wouldn't have seen through him so quickly.
[The good times didn't last long; Shen Lijun's true identity was exposed.]
What he didn't know was that when he met Shao Qiuyan with his new appearance, she didn't believe the identity he had fabricated.
Although she couldn't forget her white moonlight, she knew it was impossible for two people to look so alike.
After a period of conversation, Shao Qiuyan quickly focused her attention on Shen Lijun, because she noticed that some of the other woman's subtle actions were very similar to Shen Lijun's.
Shen Lijun murmured silently: As expected.
He left his mark on Qiu Yan's heart, but unfortunately, from then on, Qiu Yan avoided him more and more. Every time she saw him, she would immediately turn around. Later, when the two bumped into each other by accident, he learned to give way on his own initiative.
—We can't let Qiuyan delay our work.
He had been secretly keeping an eye on her movements, and he was happy for her when he learned of her achievements in swordsmanship and when she won a competition. Even when she went to pay respects to that person every year, he would feel sad for her.
If that person hadn't died, Qiuyan would be a thousand times happier than she is now.
However, that person died so young. Shen Lijun clenched his fists. Since the other party had abandoned Qiu Yan, he should not continue to occupy her feelings.
Ling Yunxiao sensed the immense resentment emanating from Shen Lijun and shook his head helplessly. He thought that he might never understand Shen Lijun's thoughts.
If loving someone causes pain, it's better to withdraw as soon as possible; it's better for both yourself and the other person.
Lou Yuqing looked at the melons below, and her expression changed.
Hey there, a big liar has arrived!
Shen Lijun was dumbfounded: What are you kidding me for?
Then he saw Lou Yuqing look up at him, her eyes seemingly filled with pity.
Faced with the coldness of his beloved, Shen Lijun was about to give up, but at this moment, he met a cultivator who called himself the Spring Breeze Elder.
Shen Lijun nodded to himself, "Yes."
At the time, he was heartbroken and took on a mission to leave the sect, hoping to clear his head. On his way to the mission, he met Senior Chunfeng, who gave him some pointers, which helped him complete the mission. After that, they became acquainted.
Of course, he wasn't that naive. He had actually investigated Senior Chunfeng's background behind the scenes and found no problems, which is why he was so open with him.
You won't believe it until you check, and what you find will shock you.
Senior Chunfeng turned out to be a renowned physician in a certain place in the south, who practiced medicine to help the sick and heal the wounded, often paying for his own treatments and earning the respect and admiration of many.
Senior Chunfeng left his old place this time because he felt that his abilities had stagnated, so he went out to travel around in order to improve his medical skills.
One day, when Shen Lijun was drowning his sorrows in alcohol, he revealed the secret hidden in his heart. Senior Chunfeng not only did not laugh at him, but also praised him as a man who dared to take responsibility.
Later, Senior Chunfeng said that he went back and checked the information and had a way to help him transform into that person's appearance so that no one could tell the difference, but it would require a considerable fee.
He agreed.
Wait, Lou Yuqing said it's a scam...
Could she be referring to Senior Harukaze?!
Shen Lijun's pupils dilated, and he looked at Lou Yuqing with surprise and uncertainty.
[Old Man Chunfeng is a highly respected doctor in the area, skilled in treating various internal injuries, but not an expert in plastic surgery. Most importantly, he has never been here before!]
Poor child, you've been deceived! That's a big swindler posing as the "Spring Breeze Elder"!
Lou Yuqing's words resonated deeply.
Everyone: !!!
Shen Lijun: "..."
Is Senior Spring Breeze a fake?
No, even his name is fake!
Shen Lijun suddenly realized that his worldview had collapsed. When he was depressed because of heartbreak, it was "Senior Spring Breeze" who acted as his confidant, listened to his complaints, made him happy, and helped him to cheer up.
Are all of these fake?
In order to swindle his spirit stones, "Senior Spring Breeze" actually went to such lengths.
Although Shen Lijun had never been in a relationship before, he now felt as if he had just broken up with someone, and emotions such as resentment, sadness, unwillingness, and hope welled up inside him.
My eyes welled up, and tears slowly welled up.
【Wait a minute? That's not right】
Lou Yuqing suddenly changed the subject.
This imposter approached Shen Lijun with the intention of swindling him out of his entire fortune, but after hearing about Shen Lijun's past relationships, he actually softened.
[Because he himself also had someone he longed for but couldn't have, he empathized with Shen Lijun in this way?]
What puzzled Lou Yuqing even more was the following content.
Was his telling Shen Lijun about plastic surgery a lie he told her to comfort her, seeing how depressed she was?
As for that priceless spirit stone, he just mentioned it casually to give Shen Lijun a goal to strive for; he didn't intend to take his money.
This is an absolutely incredible plot twist!
Everyone's lips twitched.
Shen Lijun silently held back her tears.
