"Miss Xue'er, you can rest assured, we are well prepared." Yuan Wendong smiled slightly and took out a mask as thin as a cicada's wing. "This is a disguise mask made by the rune master our family recently hired. Wearing it will perfectly disguise you as a young man."
The reason why the Yuan family was confident enough to openly oppose the Chu family was mainly because the Wu family was behind them, and they had provided a large number of experts to participate in the family competition.
Although both the Yuan and Chu families were fully aware of the matter, they still had to put on a show of politeness.
With so many people watching, if they are recognized as all members of the Wu family, they will be embarrassed.
To solve this problem, the two families came up with a solution: to have their family rune masters create a batch of masks, mainly to conceal their identities.
These masks are indistinguishable from real people when worn, and are difficult to detect unless there is close contact.
The middle-aged man named Wu Di, after putting on the mask, indeed turned into a cold and aloof young man. A group of people looked at him for a long time but couldn't see anything unusual, and they all marveled at him.
Xue'er's expression also changed slightly: "This mask is so exquisitely crafted, doesn't that mean it can impersonate anyone it wants?"
What if the other party impersonates her young master? Will she be able to recognize him?
Yuan Wendong shook his head: "It's not that easy. Although such masks are exquisite, they can only change one's appearance and hide one's identity. It is absolutely impossible to make them look exactly like a specific person."
He thought to himself, "I had the same thought when I first heard about this mask. If I could disguise myself as whoever I wanted, wouldn't I be able to sleep with whoever's wife I wanted?"
There's no such thing as a free lunch!
Hearing him say that, Xue'er finally felt relieved, and then her attention returned to the family competition that was to be held tomorrow. She thought to herself that judging from Yuan Wendong's tone just now, Zu'an was completely ruined even if he didn't die.
It's a pity I didn't do it myself.
Thinking about how that guy had touched her innocent body, Xue'er almost bit her thin red lips until they bled.
Achoo!
Zuan sneezed and wondered which little girl was thinking of him.
Old Man Mi had just practiced on him for half the night, finally making his "Sunflower Illusion" seem unreal, before leaving satisfied.
Zaun finally had some free time and lay on his bed to tally up the anger points he had received that day. One plus one equals three... Hmm, that's a total of anger points.
Oh, only this much.
Although it looks like a lot, given the ridiculously low odds of winning with a keyboard, you really won't get much in return.
As expected, after a round of drawing prizes, most of the prizes went to "thank you for participating," and the remaining prizes were 27 Spirit Fruits. There were no other skills or items.
"I shouldn't have had any hope." Zuan snorted sullenly, but still swallowed and refined all 27 Yuanqi Fruits.
The fourth magic circle requires 233 spirit fruits, and after working hard for half a day, I've only filled one-tenth of it.
He gradually drifted off to sleep amidst his complaints and grumbling about the keyboard.
When Cheng Shouping returned, he found that the man had already fallen asleep, so he didn't disturb him. He thought he would tell the man after his son-in-law finished his competition the next day. Hehe, the man-in-law would definitely be very sad if he lost. He would be very surprised and happy to receive the money he won. It would also comfort his wounded heart.
I wonder how much silver my future son-in-law will give me...
To ensure fairness, the venue for the family competition on the second day was neither the Chu family nor the Yuan family, but rather a training ground in the city.
Disciples from all the major families in the city gathered here. Clearly, such a competition between top families is a rare spectacle for other small and medium-sized families. Whether they came to watch the excitement or to learn from the competition, it was definitely worth the trip.
The Chu and Yuan families were the first to arrive, as both sides needed to familiarize themselves with the venue beforehand. Of course, for someone like Zu'an who was just there to make up the numbers, everyone felt it didn't matter whether he arrived early or not.
Zuan clearly had no awareness of participating in the competition. He didn't familiarize himself with the venue at all, but instead sat in his seat looking around as if everything was a novelty.
Qin Wanru took in his reaction and frowned immediately. However, she couldn't scold him in public, so she could only snort inwardly.
Today was the first time Zuan had met the two sons of the second and third wives. Chu Hongcai of the second wife was quite handsome, and his face did not have the gloom of his father at all. Instead, he had an air of arrogance, and it was clear that he was a very proud person at heart.
I heard that he used to be quite spirited, but today on the way from the Chu family to the training ground, he seemed very quiet and reserved. I wonder if he is still blaming himself for the pollution of the spiritual spring last time.
Chu Yucheng from the third branch of the family was an adorable chubby boy with squinty eyes and a plump, round figure, clearly the biological son of Chu Yuepo from the third branch.
In comparison, he was much more amiable, and even approached Zu'an a few times to chat along the way.
After getting to know them, Zu An thought that the two boys from the second and third branches of the family were much more pleasing to the eye than their father. He still vividly remembered the various sarcastic remarks Chu Tiesheng and Chu Yuepo made of him in the ancestral hall.
Hmm, could this chubby kid be even more cunning than his father? He looks kind on the surface, but is he actually just as treacherous as his dad?
Zu An felt a growing sense of unease and subconsciously glanced at the second and third wives. Chu Yuepo was talking to someone beside him, while Chu Tiesheng's gaze was fixed on...
Hmm, it seems like he's staring at Qin Wanru's back.
Qin Wanru had clearly dressed up carefully for this occasion. Her expensive hair ornaments accentuated her noble and beautiful appearance, and her silk dress perfectly covered her graceful body.
