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..."

"Can I ask a question?" Su Yao asked hesitantly.

"Of course, you can," Wu Ling said, pouring another cup of tea for the young calligrapher. Inwardly, he wished he hadn't started talking about important things until they'd each had a chance to drink a cup, but now that they had finally gotten over their shock enough to drink, he could see the tea slowly starting to take an edge off the fear and anxiety they felt at his revelations and a bit of curiosity building within them as well. Mother Cang's Five Flavor Fruit peels were still the best that could be found. 

"I didn't bring you here because I wanted to deceive you," Wu Ling said warmly. "Ask whatever you need."
