She had meticulously altered her appearance. How could she still be recognized?
It defied all logic!
Previously, even when she thought her disguise was flawless, not only did Mo Lian and Duan Yue immediately recognize her, but Senior Brother Situ also identified her and greeted her effortlessly!
Why was this happening?
This time, she believed her disguise was even more impeccable!
What had happened to her physique? Her face now resembled a mere shadow!
'What's going on here?'
No matter how hard Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao pondered, she couldn't prehend it. Her dark and watery eyes remained fixed on Second Qin for an extended moment.
"What do you want?"
Her utterance inadvertently acknowledged her identity.
On the other hand, Ling wore a smile and refrained from menting. The short, stout man wielding the purple-gold hammer nearly dropped it in shock. His eyes widened as he scrutinized Qiao Mu.
Damn! The transformation on this little guy was utterly astounding!
It was truly astonishing that Second Young Sir could recognize someone in this guise.
Qiao Mu shot him an impatient glance. "After messing around with me, you're still going to miss the timing for the secret realm!"
"I just want to talk to you."
"There's nothing between us…"
Second Young Sir Qin swayed in front of her, tapping her sallow forehead with one hand. "We can talk; I promise."
Qiao Mu regarded him apathetically. After a prolonged silence, she inquired, "How did you recognize me?"
Ling couldn't contain her laughter and quipped, "Oh, little lady, have you experienced being recognized despite thinking you're perfectly disguised? A well-dressed illusion shattered with a single glance."
The young girl regarded her impassively. "You're talking nonsense!"
"Pfft…" Ling burst into hearty laughter. "Xinxin, this little lady is quite amusing."
Qiao Mu had no inclination to acknowledge them. She turned away, facing Second Young Sir Qin. "I'm tired and not in the mood to play a game of chase and escape with you guys."
Second Young Sir reached out and lifted her up.
The young girl suddenly found herself lifted off the ground, her almond eyes widening as she stared at him. Her round eyes brimmed with discontent as she protested, "What are you doing?"
"Your legs are short, and you walk slowly. We need to proceed. Carrying you, we can move faster," Second Young Sir stated nonchalantly.
Qiao Mu fixated on his words, "Your legs are short, your legs are short, short, short…"
On Second Young Sir's face, there was no trace of a charming expression. It exuded the pride of a proper gentleman. "Your legs are short. I'm assisting you."
"Pfft… Hahahaha!" Ling's laughter echoed through the village.
Glancing at her own legs, Qiao Mu chuckled ironically.
"Let me ask you. If I don't walk out on my own, what's your plan?" Qiao Mu questioned Dao Seeking casually as she looked at Second Young Sir, who was barely an inch away.
"You're well aware of it," he replied.
Beast! Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao cursed inwardly. Impatiently, she extended her petite hand. "Give it to me."
Second Young Sir cast a glance at her and deposited the snatched Storage Talisman into her palm.
"Xinxin, you and the little lady share such a deep understanding."
"Mhm."
"What understanding with him/her!" Second Young Sir Qin and Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao simultaneously retorted, their words naturally aligning.
"Little lady, why are you so harsh on Xinxin? He's a very good person," Ling blinked and remarked.
