However, Taoist Uncle and Xu Yang might feel uncomfortable if Tang Li Xue told the truth to them because it would seem as if they were dancing in Shao Ying’s palm like clowns since the very beginning.
"Should we reactivate the Spatial Displacent Formation and return this Imperial Palace to the Capital City first?" Tang Li Xue asked Xu Yang curiously.
But Xu Yang shook his head and explained: "I may have deciphered the Spatial Displacent Formation and understand how it works, but I cannot reactivate the Spatial Displacent Formation by myself. I need the help of those old ancestors."
Xu Yang’s words brought them back to square one.
In short, they could not do anything without the help of those old Spirit Transformation Stage Grandmasters.
"It is all those damn old fools’ fault! We can get out of this situation if we work together, but those damn old fools just do not want to believe in us!" Taoist Uncle cursed angrily.
Tang Li Xue scratched the back of her head irritably.
After thinking hard for a while, a light of inspiration suddenly flashed in Tang Li Xue’s mind.
Tang Li Xue’s topaz blue eyes shone brightly like a pair of stars as she muttered: "Wait a minute... They do not believe us because they think we are not from the royal family, right?"
"I have saved Third Prince, and I can quickly bring him here. How about it? Do you think we can convince those old ancestors if we can persuade the Third Prince to help us?" Tang Li Xue asked Xu Yang.
Xu Yang pondered carefully for a few monts before he replied: "Your idea is not bad, but the success chance is probably not high. Just the Third Prince might not be enough to convince them."
"Everyone in the Capital City already knew that the Third Prince was too infatuated with you. They might even think that you are one with us, and you had misled the Third Prince, then you tricked him into doing our bidding." Xu Yang expressed his logical opinion to Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue frowned deeply after she heard Xu Yang’s logical explanation.
But she also understood that those old Spirit Transformation Stage Grandmasters could not be blad for being too careful and suspicious, especially since they were currently in this extrely dire situation.
The lives of the entire people in the Imperial Palace depended on them to be saved after all.
If Tang Li Xue, Xu Yang, and Taoist Uncle truly had ulterior motives, or if they were even the masterminds behind this incident, and all of those old Spirit Transformation Stage Grandmasters fell into their sche, then the entire Great Wei Dynasty would be finished for sure!
Tang Li Xue gnashed her pearl-white teeth as she muttered: "Then let’s add another one!"
"Another one? Have you saved another prince? How many mbers of the royal family have you saved? Just bring all of them out at once. Maybe we can use them to threaten those damn old fools." Taoist Uncle asked doubtfully.
Tang Li Xue shook her head.
Then she activated her [Thousand Myriad Faces]’s ability without bothering to explain anything to Taoist Uncle or Xu Yang!
Tang Li Xue’s appearance instantly transford into the old Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty!
"Then how about this? Do you think those old ancestors will believe the words from the Emperor himself?" Tang Li Xue asked smugly with an unpleasant, old, and hoarse voice.
Xu Yang widened his eyes in surprise.
"This, this, this is... Is this the power of your disguise-type divine ability? So aweso!" Taoist Uncle was very shocked that he stuttered several tis.
Xu Yang and Taoist Uncle carefully examined Tang Li Xue’s disguise for a few minutes.
They beca even more amazed at how perfect Tang Li Xue’s disguising power was.
Tang Li Xue herself also knew really well how powerful her [Thousand Myriad Faces] was.
([Thousand Myriad Faces]: The wearer can perfectly disguise as anyone, including the target’s clothes, appearance, body shape, aura, sll, cultivation, and so on, which makes anyone unable to see through the disguise. The disguise will break if the wearer gets hit by a powerful strike. Duration: 3 hours. Cooldown: 3 hours.)
The reason why she never thought of disguising herself to replace the Emperor was because she was not familiar with the old Emperor, like the way he spoke, moved, acted, and so on.
Without familiarizing herself with all of the old Emperor’s habits and imitating them, it would be really easy for her disguise to be exposed, no matter how well she disguised her appearance as the old Emperor.
In short, the weakness of [Thousand Myriad Faces] was not the skill itself, but the acting skill of the user.
If the user could 100% acting as the disguised target and imitate all of the target’s habits to perfection, then this [Thousand Myriad Faces] would be a god-level skill in that user’s hands.
Heck, that user could even replace the emperor forever without being discovered and beco the real emperor.
Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue was not an actress in her previous life.
Even though she always privately boasted that she could beco an Oscar winner if she wanted, but her acting skills were actually not that good. It was clearly far from being comparable to a professional top-level actress.
It was okay for her to disguise herself as an unnoticeable maid or guard, but if she wanted to replace the emperor, then she might get exposed in less than an hour, especially since she did not know anything about the emperor at all!
Fortunately, Xu Yang knew the Great Wei’s Emperor quite well, because he had treated him for quite a long ti.
Xu Yang imdiately thought everything he knew about the Great Wei’s Emperor to Tang Li Xue.
He also began to correct Tang Li Xue in many ways.
"You look too energetic and healthy, while the old emperor looks weak and dying. Leave it to . I will add so makeup to you." Xu Yang took out so dicine from his spatial ring and sar his dicine on Tang Li Xue’s face.
After saring the dicine, Tang Li Xue looked pale and sickly. She looked exactly like the old and sickly emperor.
"You speak too fast and too loudly for a dying person. Try to make it slower and softer."
"Your body posture is also wrong. Make your back more hunched."
"The way you speak is too casual. You should..."
"The way you walk also needs to be corrected..."
Xu Yang sternly corrected Tang Li Xue’s habits one by one until Tang Li Xue herself was dizzy.
After lectured sternly by Xu Yang for an hour or so, Tang Li Xue finally looked much more like a sickly old emperor.
Even though it was still far from perfect, but at least she was already around 60% similar.
Tang Li Xue stood hunchly and weakly like an old parkinson disease patient.
The lifespan of the real old emperor was almost up after all, and he might only be able to live for a few more years at best, even with the help of Miracle Doctor Xu Yang and so many life-extending treasures.
Xu Yang and Taoist Uncle examined Tang Li Xue carefully for a few minutes before they nodded in satisfaction and gave their approval.
"Wait, let bring back the Third Prince. Maybe it will be even more convincing with him and together by your side." Tang Li Xue said to Xu Yang.
Tang Li Xue activated her [Swap] skill to switch her location with her perfect copy.
Little Loki was very surprised when it saw that the stunningly beautiful Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy was instantly replaced with the ugly old man.
Tang Li Xue was too lazy to explain everything to Little Loki, so she just stored Little Loki in her System’s pet space without saying anything to it.
Then Tang Li Xue activated her [Swap] skill again and returned to Xu Yang’s side.
Tang Li Xue summoned Little Loki out from the System’s pet space again.
When Little Loki looked around in confusion, Tang Li Xue said to Little Loki: "Little Loki, can you spit... release the Third Prince now? Err, it is the guy you swallowed in the courtyard before."
Little Loki glared at Tang Li Xue in disgust as if it was asking: "Why do you look so old and ugly now? You also sll so bad! You are just ruining my eyes, my nose, and my mood!"
Tang Li Xue felt ashad after she read Little Loki’s thoughts.
Well, Tang Li Xue also slled unpleasant because Xu Yang sared her with the pungent dicine that was usually used by the old Emperor.
Fortunately, Little Loki still obediently spat out the unconscious Third Prince from its mouth.
Little Loki stated that it did not want to stay close to the stinky, ugly, and old Tang Li Xue, so the heartbroken Tang Li Xue could only return Little Loki to her perfect copy.
Xu Yang took another dicine from his spatial ring, uncorked the dicine bottle, and let the unconscious Third Prince sll the dicine.
The Third Prince imdiately regained his consciousness and opened his eyes after he slled Xu Yang’s dicine.
"You are... Miracle Doctor Xu? And... Royal Father!" The Third Prince hastily stood up and kneeled in front of Tang Li Xue.
"The Third Son greets His Majesty!" The Third Prince politely greeted Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue almost subconsciously grabbed the Third Prince to prevent him from kneeling to her, but she quickly realized that she was disguised as the Great Wei’s Emperor right now, so she had to act like him.
"Cough, cough... Stand up! We have sothing more important to do right now. Miracle Doctor Xu will explain everything to you first." Tang Li Xue muttered softly and weakly to the Third Prince.
