The scarred man was a bit embarrassed. At first glance, he had thought the voice sounded like a girl’s. Looking at her appearance, with her coarse hemp clothes, hair loosely tied up, and her face smeared with dirt, she looked like she had just come from the fields.
Which girl would get her face so dirty? She must be a young man.
The scarred man patted Wen Qingchen on the shoulder and said, “Little brother, you may not know, but it is said that the Wen Medicine Hall in the city has lost a precious medicinal herb. This herb was left behind by the former Wen Divine Doctor and is said to be a legendary elixir with the power to revive the dead and heal severed limbs! But now it has been stolen, and the young master of the Nangong family has just gotten engaged to the former Wen Divine Doctor’s beloved daughter, Wen Qingchen. To win her favor, the Nangong family and the Wen Medicine Hall have joined forces to seal off the city, determined to recover the stolen divine medicine.”
Wen Qingchen’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
It seemed that her third uncle and the others had discovered that she and her brother had already escaped, so now they planned to lay a net to capture them.
Finding the divine medicine was just a pretext; capturing the two siblings was the real goal. They were afraid that the siblings might enter the city, expose their crimes, or seek revenge, which is why the city was heavily guarded both for entry and exit.
Wen Qingchen glanced at her own appearance, her somewhat masculine outfit and the dirt on her face hiding her features.
She calmly chatted with the scarred man, and soon it was their turn to enter the city.
“Who are you? Where did you come from? What happened to your face?” The guard reached out and rubbed the scar on the scarred man’s face.
The scarred man cried out in pain, “Ah! Ouch! Brother guard, this scar is real! I got it from a fight, it’s not fake!”
The guard rubbed it a few more times and seeing that the scar was indeed bright red, he confirmed it was real and let the scarred man into the city.
Wen Qingchen narrowed her eyes, realizing that these people were quite thorough in their inspections. They were worried about disguises, so they checked faces very carefully.
“You, come here!” The guard looked at Wen Qingchen and asked, “Where are you from?”
Wen Qingchen calmly walked over and said, “From the neighboring Mu City.”
The guard frowned at the dirt on Wen Qingchen’s face and threw a bucket of water at her. “Clean your face!”
Wen Qingchen paused for a moment.
“Move quickly!” Seeing her hesitation, the guard urged her, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Wen Qingchen had no choice but to dip her sleeve into the water and start wiping her face.
The guard kept a close watch on her, one hand resting on the hilt of his sword, ready to take action.
As the thick dirt on her face was cleaned away, a red birthmark covered in rashes appeared on the left side of her face!
It was an extremely hideous sight at first glance!
The guard was startled and took a step back. “What’s wrong with your face…”
Wen Qingchen lowered her head and pretended to be upset. “This is a birthmark with a rash that I’ve had since I was young… My mother said it’s so repulsive that I had to cover it with dirt… I’m sorry for scaring you, Brother Guard.”
The sight of such an ugly and festering rash made the guard lose his courage to touch her. He waved his hand and said, “Just go, just go. It’s disgusting.”
He almost felt like throwing up.
“Yes, yes, I’m leaving now.”
Wen Qingchen covered her face with her sleeve and hurried into the city, turning into a dark alley.
Once she was out of the alley, the disgusting birthmark on her face was gone, and she had returned to her previous dirty appearance as a young man.
In the air above, Yin Chenming expressionlessly observed the entire process of Wen Qingchen’s disguise.
Sixteen was astonished. “Master, this person seems to have some kind of magical power.”
They had witnessed Wen Qingchen enter the alley and suddenly a wave of energy fluctuation appeared around her, causing the disgusting birthmark on her face to gradually disappear.
In other words, this person could control the skin on their face!
Even the most advanced disguise techniques could not achieve this!
