Unparalleled Artist: Unlikely Hero

Following his father's murder, Wu Ling's mother returned to the life of a courtesan, disguising her young son as a girl to take refuge in the Bamboo Silk House, a women's only sect dedicated to the arts. Now, as his powers awaken, he'll find himself torn between protecting his family and the goals of powerful cultivators who see him as a means to an end. "Wu Ling, I've accepted a marriage proposal on your behalf," the bewitching Hall Master of the Bamboo Silk House declared. "When you enter the Inner Sect, you'll enter under the name 'Hua Qianhu', fiancee of a young lord of the Liang family." "Hall Master, that's impossible!" Wu Ling protested. "Even if you ignore my relationship with Meifeng, I might have dressed well enough to hide as a mortal woman but I could never..." "So you truly didn't realize what you were doing," the Hall Master said, a dark smile on her lips. "Little Ling, you're a natural-born Shapeshifter. I'll teach you what you need to know," she said, her features shifting until she looked like a mirror image of the stunned Wu Ling. "As long as you follow my arrangements and learn my techniques, it isn't impossible for you to reunite with Meifeng..." "But you should consider Young Lord Liang carefully," the Hall Master added. "His affection for you is genuine. Perhaps, one day, you'll even feel the same for him..."

Business of the Bamboo Silk House (Part One)

"Sister Wu Ling, what kind of place is this?" Su Yao asked, looking around the illusory view with wide eyes and a slack jaw. "I know it's an illusion, I saw it activate, but it feels real. I can even feel a breeze blowing!"

"The breeze is real, look at the steam from the teapot," Wu Ling said with a smile as he began adjusting the blend of tea leaves with the dried peels of Five Flavor Fruit. "There's a charm in the corner to take care of that. Normally, this room should cost twenty-five spirit crystals an hour to use, or fifty sect contribution points, but Mother Cang is being generous with us since I haven't visited in so long, and because she wants to help make a good impression on two potential new disciples," Wu Ling explained.
