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..."

The Girl of Fire and Water

Wu Ling fought to keep his jaw from dropping in shock. That kind of union was as rare as Su Yao's Three-Eyed Sapphire Serpent and Raven of Ill Omens but it could be just as powerful! Such a woman undoubtedly had a brilliant future ahead of her. Moreover, if her father was descended from the founders of the sect, she was likely treated like a princess within the sect even if they didn't have hereditary positions. His new friend hadn't set his sights low!

"I understand," Wu Ling said as pieces began to fall into place in his mind. The most ambitious versions of Warden Mu's plan would require that he find at least a few more people to join their expedition. Recruiting Jin Wuya would only benefit their party and if she had an affinity for the Golden Crow then he had a unique enticement to invite her along.
