at the same time,
No. 13, East Street Alley, border area.
A middle-aged man, around forty years old, held a mirror and examined himself in the bronze mirror. He reached out and touched his face and chin, a hint of satisfaction and certainty flashing in his eyes: "Not bad."
"Junior Sister Qianyan's skills are indeed becoming more and more superb."
"Look at this face! It really looks exactly like the shopkeeper from Wangcheng. If I hadn't pasted it on myself, I would have suspected that I and the shopkeeper were twins, hahaha..."
The young man standing next to him looked up and glanced at it.
The middle-aged man reflected in his pupils had a face exactly like the shopkeeper's—no, it shouldn't be said that his face was longer than his.
Because what caused this change was a human skin mask.
The young man crossed his arms and chuckled, "Indeed, it's impossible to tell the difference. With this layer of protection, the personal feud between Cheng Gui Pavilion and Zhou Cheng will probably never be resolved."
"Zhou Cheng's weapons of mass destruction are of unknown origin, and even the Mohist disciples at the academy have never heard of them. Does he deserve to enjoy such treasures all to himself?"
"Once we bring the weapon back to the academy and have the Mohist disciples study its structure, it shouldn't be long before we can mass-produce it. At that time, what will Zhou Cheng be?"
"We don't even need to lift a finger; he and Cheng Gui Pavilion can fight each other to a standstill!"
"I wonder what kind of expression and scene Senior Sister Qianyan would have if she found out one day that the technology she developed over the years was used by the academy to scheme against her own younger brother!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of mockery in each other's eyes.
Zhou Qianyan has had an exceptional talent for these rare objects since childhood, which is why she was admitted to Nanyue Academy through a special admission process. She has indeed lived up to expectations and has always been highly praised by the teachers and mentors at the academy.
The material for this human skin mask was developed by her tireless efforts.
What a pity.
No matter how outstanding Zhou Qianyan was at the academy, she did not receive corresponding resources and instead suffered cold looks and differential treatment everywhere.
"Senior Brother Hao." The young man stopped laughing halfway through. After considering his words for a moment, he asked with a serious expression, "Before we leave the academy..."
"Were those words spoken by the Master a joke, or were they serious?"
Senior Brother Hao put down the bronze mirror, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you saying that the weapon that shouldn't exist in this dynasty has appeared, and once Zhou Cheng grows up, he might become the first person to unify the Central Plains?"
"How is that possible!"
“Our academy has been established for nearly five hundred years. In these five hundred years, there have been those who could have unified the Central Plains. There was even a female crown prince who was exceptionally talented, but she died a tragic death in the end.”
"Zhou Cheng is too young and arrogant, and doesn't know how to restrain himself. Even the throne of Yan Kingdom can't satisfy his ambition. Does he want to shake the status of Nanyue Academy? Does he even deserve it?"
"Just wait and see."
"Cheng Gui Pavilion holds an extraordinary position in the Central Plains. As long as we stir up the feud between the two sides, once this deadly enmity is established, hehe... the two forces can fight each other to the death, but they will not be able to threaten the academy."
The young man nodded, a look of unwavering confidence on his face.
Over the years, many ambitious and aspiring individuals have emerged, believing they could achieve the great feat of ruling the Central Plains on their own. However, in the end, they were all nipped in the bud.
Zhou Cheng.......
He's just a greenhorn.
They don't even need to lift a finger. They just need to borrow a little strength, stir up a conflict between him and Cheng Guige, and then use Cheng Guige to get rid of him!
"Bang bang bang!"
“Boom—”
