Chapter 21: Restoring Her Appearance

Then, Tang Chuyao took out a piece of black artificial skin from her sleeve, as thin as a cicada’s wing. This material was made from a very special herb boiled with pigskin!

It was not only elastic but also indistinguishable from human skin. Unless one was a professional, it was impossible to tell the difference between real and fake!

When Tang Chuyao was detoxifying at the Xima Village, she had thought of a problem. If her appearance was restored, how could she hide it?

Finally, she thought of the method of disguise and asked the system. The system gave her a method for making artificial skin. Following the system’s instructions, she had made this piece over the past few days.

Not only Hua Wanshu was amazed by Tang Chuyao’s skills, even Ke Wuwei was shocked!

Tang Chuyao said that she had seen it by chance in an ancient book, but she couldn’t remember where she had put the book.

She had fallen into the water and injured her head a few days ago, and she had forgotten many things. Sometimes she would suddenly remember something. This excuse was perfect!

After all, Tang Chuyao’s amnesia after falling into the water was a real event, and Hua Wanshu had also discovered this problem when she took her pulse.

The reason why Hua Wanshu and Ke Wuwei reacted so strongly was because they recognized this as a long-lost art of disguise!

They never expected that Tang Chuyao had discovered it by chance. However, they both warned Tang Chuyao not to reveal it in front of others, otherwise, it would cause unnecessary trouble!

For example, if some ambitious people used this art of disguise to impersonate the Prince or… then it would be a huge problem!

Although Emperor Song Wen and the Regent had dealt with many dissidents, some hidden individuals had not been caught, and trouble still existed!

Hua Wanshu saw that Tang Chuyao had a talent for medicine. She had a keen sense of smell and was born to be a doctor!

Since she couldn’t poach Tang Chuyao, Hua Wanshu changed her strategy. These days, she had been clinging to Tang Chuyao, wanting to adopt her as her daughter!

To Tang Chuyao’s surprise, her master, Ke Wuwei, didn’t object…

So, in the courtyard, with Ke Wuwei and Huang Xiaoyu as witnesses, Tang Chuyao respectfully offered Hua Wanshu a cup of tea and then formally kowtowed three times.

“Mother, please accept your child’s bow!”

Hua Wanshu just wanted to have a cup of tea and go through the motions. She never expected that Tang Chuyao would actually kowtow to her three times. Her eyes welled up.

“Why are you doing this? Get up!” Hua Wanshu reached out to help Tang Chuyao up.

But Tang Chuyao didn’t get up. She remained kneeling and said, “These past few days, Mother has treated me, expending so much energy that it will take three years to recover!”

The Nine Heavens Profound Needles, no matter what poison it was, could force it out!

It just required the practitioner to expend a lot of internal energy, and Tang Chuyao’s treatment had been continuous for several days. Hua Wanshu had never mentioned it, but Tang Chuyao had the system with her, and the system would tell her about Hua Wangshu’s physical condition from time to time. She was very clear about it!

Hua Wanshu genuinely liked her, and she had a sincere heart for her master, so she cared for her so much!

Tang Chuyao didn’t know how to repay this kindness. Hua Wanshu wanted to adopt her as her daughter, and she was willing to take care of Hua Wanshu in her old age, to look after her!

So, the kowtows just now were sincere!

“Master, I have a mother now!” Tang Chuyao looked at Ke Wuwei, revealing two sweet dimples, smiling happily.

Ke Wuwei’s eyes also welled up. His little disciple had never had a mother’s protection since she was a child. Although she never mentioned it in front of others, he knew that Tang Chuyao deeply craved the love of a mother!

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone out of her way to please those “family members” of hers!

Now, his Yaoyao had a mother. How wonderful!

Ke Wuwei remembered this sincerity that Hua Wanshu had for Yaoyao!

“They say that a teacher for a day is a father for life. Master is also Yaoyao’s father. Now that you have a mother, when will you two get married?”

Tang Chuyao’s words managed to hold back the tears in Ke Wuwei’s eyes.

The courtyard was then filled with chaos. Ke Wuwei shouted at Tang Chuyao, who was perched on a tree, “You rebellious girl, get down here!”

Hua Wanshu watched the two bickering, unable to contain her laughter!

Huang Xiaoyu crossed her arms and looked at the tree thoughtfully, “Junior sister’s lightness skills have truly improved!”

Today, all the poison in her junior sister’s body was gone. Not only was she healthy, but she had also regained her beautiful appearance. She was truly happy for her junior sister.

Then, she thought about how Master had unsealed several of her junior sister’s acupoints today. Her junior sister’s lightness skills were already surpassing hers!

She would have to practice diligently in the future to keep up with her junior sister’s pace!

The three years that her junior sister had lost seemed to be slowly returning…

“Senior sister?” Huang Xiaoyu’s thoughts were pulled back by Tang Chuyao. She almost threw the person in front of her!

Her junior sister’s face was sallow, not to mention the very noticeable black spot, which made the freckles on her face less obvious!

Her junior sister was really ruthless with her own face. She could actually do this!

After saying that, Tang Chuyao walked out of the room and saw a bizarre scene in the courtyard.

Gu Huaifeng was standing in a horse stance, holding a stack of books in his arms. His legs were trembling like an old man. Tang Chuyao glanced at him and then looked at the person sitting calmly at the stone table, drinking tea.

He was dressed in a simple white robe, sitting quietly there, elegantly lifting his teacup to take a sip. Every move he made exuded a natural air of nobility.

His handsome face was like a carefully sculpted work of art, his features deep and three-dimensional. His narrow phoenix eyes were slightly upturned, revealing a hint of sharpness that was difficult to detect.

Beneath his high, straight nose, his thin lips were slightly pursed, with a hint of a faint smile, making one involuntarily fall into a trance.

His robes fluttered in the wind, like a celestial being descending from heaven, his handsome features were captivating.

What a demon! Tang Chuyao muttered to herself, then slowly walked towards Gu Qingchen.

Gu Qingchen looked at Tang Chuyao. Since he had seen her that day, he had returned to the mansion to take care of business. It had been five days!

The faint scent of medicine lingered on her, making his heart race…

“This humble one greets the Regent!”

“Miss Tang, you don’t need to be so polite!”

After Tang Chuyao got up, she didn’t want to pay any attention to Gu Huaifeng, but his gaze was too eager, making it difficult to ignore!

She didn’t want to care about Gu Huaifeng’s affairs, but she still had to pretend to be very concerned about him.

Just then, a servant’s voice rang out from the gate, “Miss, someone from the Noble Concubine’s palace has arrived!”

Tang Chuyao was delighted. Her aunt had sent someone over, which was perfect, she didn’t have to deal with Gu Huaifeng!

When Tang Chuyao arrived at the gate with her people, her scumbag father, Aunt Mei, Tang Chuying, and her grandmother were all there.

They glanced at Tang Chuyao, but didn’t say anything.

Tang Chuying looked at her with disdain. Tang Chuyao was really giving up! She used to wear a veil, but now she didn’t care at all!

She had just heard from Bixing that Brother Huaifeng was in Tang Chuyao’s courtyard!

But she wasn’t worried at all. With Tang Chuyao’s ugly appearance, it was really off-putting!
