Before Qin Luo could reply, Wu Zhaoliang's voice came from outside the door.
"Did you two fellow Daoists sleep well last night?"
As soon as Qin Luo saw her arrive, he secretly released a few vines.
"Very well, may I ask what brings you here, sir?"
When Wu Zhaoliang first heard her address him as "Your Excellency," he felt a surge of joy.
After all, she had never heard such a title again since she was trapped during her ascension.
"Haha, it's nothing serious. I just came to inform you two that news of my fight with Dan Xiu has already spread. I wonder what your next steps are?"
After she finished speaking, Qin Luo picked up Wu Hua and walked out.
"We have our own methods; just wait patiently for news."
Seeing that she was walking very fast, Wu Zhaoliang called out, "Have some breakfast before you go!"
Qin Luo didn't answer her, but simply raised her hand and waved before disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Master, should we send someone to follow them?"
When asked by his subordinate, Wu Zhaoliang pondered for a moment before replying.
"Go, find a few skilled people to follow them from a distance, and make sure the Jiu Fang and Duan Yang families don't find out."
"yes."
Qin Luo and Wu Hua had only walked a short distance when they noticed the person behind them.
The two of them made several turns and eventually disappeared into the crowd.
Those people didn't panic when they realized they'd lost track of them; instead, they dispersed and went to Jiufang Prefecture and Duanyang Prefecture respectively.
Only after Wu Hua and the other two had walked away did she allow the barrier to be removed.
He's a cub, so the barrier he sets up might not be able to hide from these cultivators, but it's incredibly well-placed.
Upon hearing that the two people in the space had been targeted, the person immediately set up an isolation barrier for them without saying a word.
They were relieved to hear that the people had left, but they still plucked two hairs from the mane for them.
Qin Luo looked at the hair in her hand and asked Wu Hua.
"Little one, how do I use this?"
Wu Hua did not answer immediately, but instead told her to find a secluded place first.
Qin Luo did as instructed, and the two walked to a secluded corner.
Wu Hua loosened her hair and placed it on her bun, after which her appearance began to change.
She gradually transformed from a vibrant young girl into a frail old woman.
Qin Luo couldn't see her own face, but she could clearly see the hands holding Wu Hua.
From smooth, fair skin to wrinkles and blemishes, her astonishment had reached its peak.
"I didn't expect this! Sparse hair can have this effect. Is your hair the same, little one?"
Wu Hua shook her head in disappointment.
"No, although I can change my appearance, I always look somewhat similar to the original, and my hair can only bring about a good harvest."
Seeing that he was in low spirits, Qin Luo quickly praised him.
"Then your hair is even more amazing. The saying goes that life is all about eating and drinking, so you can imagine how important food is. You can make it a bountiful harvest, you are practically a god in the hearts of the people."
Hearing her say that, Wu Hua's little expression turned smug again.
“That’s true. Our Dangkang clan is a mobile granary. No one will go hungry wherever we go.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Luo immediately nodded in agreement.
"Of course! Our little one saved so many disaster victims, he's amazing!"
When Wu Hua was praised, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
"Hahaha, I'm so great, hahahaha~"
After he finished whining, he placed the hair that Shu had given him on his little head.
Subsequently, he also underwent a change, just like Qin Luo.
The only difference was that he grew into a very tall man, and his face became that of a middle-aged man.
He looks weathered and worn.
"How about it? Am I handsome? Don't you feel like I'm a god?"
Qin Luo looked at the unshaven, middle-aged man in front of him, who looked like he hadn't eaten in a long time, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, little one, oh no, I can't call you little one anymore, I should call you Uncle Wu Hua, hahaha~"
After being teased like that, Wu Hua guessed that her appearance was probably quite different from what she had imagined.
He hurriedly pulled out a mirror and looked at himself, only to find that the man in the mirror was anything but handsome.
The word "down-and-out" perfectly encapsulates his life; it would be a lie to say he wasn't disappointed.
But when it comes to contrast, Wu Hua is undeniably impressive.
“If we go out like this, even if we stand right in front of Wu Zhaoliang, she won’t recognize us.”
Qin Luo took the mirror from his hand and looked at her own wrinkled old face.
He sighed, "That's right. Let alone her, I reckon even if Ming Yi came, he wouldn't recognize me."
Wu Hua nodded her little head in agreement.
"You know what, if it weren't for our soul contract, I might not have recognized you either."
Qin Luo was very certain: "But I will definitely recognize you."
Wu Hua was somewhat incredulous: "How is that possible?"
"Hey, don't you believe me? With your smugness, I could recognize you no matter what you look like."
After hearing this, Wu Hua didn't know whether to praise her or scold her.
The two chatted for a while longer, then took a basket covered with a cloth and headed towards the Jiufang Mansion.
Qin Luo moved with surprising agility throughout the journey, prompting Wu Hua to remind him several times.
Finally, supported by Wu Hua, she arrived at the gate of Jiufang Mansion, panting heavily.
Before they could even step onto the steps in front of the gate, they were driven away by the guards.
"Where did these idlers come from? Leave at once and don't defile the land of Jiufang Mansion."
Qin Luo originally thought Wu Zhaoliang was already quite arrogant, but he didn't expect the people from Jiufang Mansion to be even more arrogant.
But in order to successfully sneak in, he had no choice but to swallow his pride for now.
"Brother Guard, you wanted to ask if your household needs to purchase some fresh ingredients?"
These words made the guards laugh.
