Gu Han frowned and looked at the masked woman in front of him in surprise, and subconsciously asked, "How do you know my identity?"
Su Lijin lowered her voice and analyzed it to him.
"You made Xiao Shengxing's human skin mask, and there aren't many masks in the world that can be made that are so similar to human skin."
"What's more, during our fight just now, I found that your skills are not bad. You must be the Thousand Faces Young Master, right?"
"There's a rumor going around in the martial arts world about the Thousand Faces Young Master. Because he's skilled at making human skin masks, few people have ever seen his true appearance. I never thought I'd run into you when I came out with the Emperor this time."
After listening to Su Lijin's analysis, Gu Han didn't expect that he had inadvertently revealed so much. At the same time, he also looked at Su Lijin with admiration.
After all, not many people knew that Xiao Shengheng made the mask, and the man known in the martial arts world was called the Thousand Faces Young Master, but his name was rarely seen.
"But some of what you said just now were wrong. I am not the Thousand Faces Young Master." Gu Han corrected.
"If you are not the Thousand Faces Young Master, then who are you?" Su Lijin asked. She actually recognized the wrong identity.
She only knew that the Thousand Faces Young Master was the only one in the martial arts world who had the skill to make human skin.
Moreover, the human skin on Xiao Shengheng's face was no different from that of a real person, and the naked eye could not see the difference at all.
Could it be that there is someone now who has skills comparable to those of the Thousand Faces Young Master?
Su Lijin was still confused, so Gu Han explained, "I am his only successor, Gu Han."
The Thousand Faces Young Master has taught Gu Han everything he has learned in his life, otherwise his skills would not be so good.
His master is very famous in the martial arts world, but people outside only know that his master has accepted an apprentice, but who the apprentice is is little known.
That's why he was so surprised when Su Lijin said that the human skin on Xiao Shengheng's face was made by him.
Su Lijin then nodded, "Gu Han, since you are the only heir of the Thousand Faces Master, can you accept me as your apprentice?"
After all, not everyone has this skill. If you can learn to make a human skin mask, it will be much more convenient to do things in the future, and you don’t have to wear a mask to hide your identity.
She looked at Gu Han with expectations in her eyes, but what Gu Han said poured cold water on her.
"I only accept one disciple." Gu Han said in a light tone.
Hearing this, Su Lijin did not feel regretful. Since he had already accepted a disciple, she could also become his disciple's disciple.
"From what you said, you've already accepted a disciple. Since we met, it must be fate. Can you introduce your disciple to me? I can become his disciple. Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?"
After Su Lijin finished speaking, he waited for his answer. He believed that his apprentice's craftsmanship would definitely not be too bad.
Besides, she just wanted to learn a skill, so she would follow anyone as long as they would accept her as an apprentice and teach her.
However, after hearing what Su Lijin said, Gu Han lowered his head imperceptibly and became silent, with a hint of sadness in his expression.
Su Lijin looked at Gu Han who was silent, guessing that there might be other hidden secrets. Just as she was about to ask, she heard Xiao Shengheng's voice in her ears.
"His apprentice has passed away." Xiao Shengheng, who was standing aside, heard the entire conversation between the two.
However, he didn't expect that Su Lijin was actually interested in this aspect.
After hearing this, Su Lijin was very surprised. She really didn't expect that Gu Han's only disciple had passed away. At the same time, she felt very sorry.
No wonder Gu Han was silent after she said these words. So that's how it is.
After she realized what was happening, she immediately apologized to him: "Gu Han, I'm sorry for offending you with what I said just now. Please don't take it to heart."
She could understand Gu Han's feelings at the moment. After all, that was his only disciple, whom he had cultivated with great effort. To him, he must be like a family member.
If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have mentioned his apprentice so much. After all, this was a matter of exposing someone's scars.
Gu Han smiled bitterly and looked at Su Lijin.
"No problem, my apprentice is Qiu Shui, a well-known information dealer in the martial arts world."
He paused briefly and continued.
"However, he was assassinated five years ago. With the help of the Emperor, I only know that the person who assassinated Qiu Shui was from the Wulin Alliance, but I still haven't found out who that person is."
This incident has always been an unspeakable wound in Gu Han's heart. He has not given up looking for the murderer, but that person seems to have hidden himself very well.
Otherwise, it has been so long and he still hasn't found the murderer. Who is it?
Queen Su Lijin was a little hesitant. Although her apprentice Qiu Shui was no longer alive, she did not want to give up. If Gu Han was unwilling to accept another apprentice, it would be a pity for this craft to be lost in his hands.
If Gu Han is no longer around in the future, there will be no one else in the world who can make such a realistic human skin.
She thought for a moment before speaking: "Gu Hanruo, if I can help your disciple Qiu Shui get revenge, can you accept me as your disciple?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Gu Han, somewhat unsure of his thoughts, but she still hoped that Gu Han would agree.
"Okay, if you can help me find the murderer who killed Qiu Shui, I can let you become Qiu Shui." Gu Han said.
The reason why he agreed was because he felt that Su Lijin had the ability. After all, during the fight between the two just now, he found that Su Lijin's skills were better than his.
As for Su Lijin's identity, he still didn't know what it was. Although Su Lijin had just said that she was Xiao Shengheng's woman, for some reason, he always felt that this woman's identity was not that simple.
"Okay, it's a deal then." Su Lijin didn't expect that this trip would bring her an unexpected gain.
Being able to become Gu Han's apprentice is also a good thing.
"Now that we've come this far, you still haven't told me who you are?" Gu Han was still a little curious about Su Lijin's identity.
"My name is Shiqi. As for my true identity, you will know it when you accept me as your apprentice in the future."
Su Lijin would never reveal her identity at this time, and she had just said that she was Xiao Shengheng's person, so he shouldn't ask any more questions.
Gu Han nodded. If he could find the murderer who killed Qiu Shui, then as a master, he would definitely cut that person into pieces himself, which would also be considered as revenge for Qiu Shui.
