The Sui Kingdom, Part III
Shuchang laughed when Wu Jian emerged from the room. He teased Wu Jian about how this was his real appearance and Wu Jian was pretending to have taken a Face Changing Pill because he didn’t want others to realize how old he actually was. Of course, Shuchang had actually seen him without his mask before. Back when they first met, Wu Jian had been unconscious and not wearing his mask. His words earned him a smack on the back of the head.
Hou Jingshu had been the one to do it.
Zhou Lihua had also taken a Face Changing Pill and given one to each of them, claiming it would be easier for them to remain undetected if they didn’t look like themselves. The pills made them all less attractive than they were. This was by design. Beauty was coveted by everyone, and cultivators coveted beauty more than most. If a member of the Undying Sun Sect saw one of the women in their group, they would undoubtedly try something. They needed to avoid that since it could put their plans in jeopardy.
