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..."

Yao Meifeng's Desperate Flight (Part Two)

"Senior Sister Yao," Wu Ling said, turning around only to be surprised by the sight of a flustered Yao Meifeng carrying her zither over one shoulder and a backpack full of her belongings over the other. "Who is it that's chasing you? What happened?" Wu Ling asked, stepping forward to catch the rushing young musician.

"Please, you have to help me," the doll-like young woman pleaded. "It's my family, they found where I was staying and they sent a group of men to fetch me home. I need somewhere else to hide and I didn't know who to turn to."

"Okay," Wu Ling said softly, gently stroking her hair to help her calm down. "You know I'd never abandon you," he soothed. "Follow me back to the house for a moment, I'll have Junior Sister Jieyan take your things, but then you should come with me," he said thinking quickly as they walked.
