Besides, people would typically not believe the words of young disciples; such as those of Spiritual Master Yuhang- Si Qing, and Heng Qing. Therefore, there were many accounts of Gu Xijiu's appearance.
There was a rumor that she was gorgeous, and her beauty could amaze the world. In stark contrast, there was a rumor that she was extremely ugly, to the extent that everyone would be appalled by her appearance. Some also claimed that although she was ugly, she had a very high-level skill that could help her mask and change her appearance to make her look beautiful. That was why Shen Nianmo was fascinated by her beauty and even betrayed his apprenticeship for her. Still, the changed appearance could only deceive those with low skill. Those of higher skill levels could see through all her illusions.
