Forget it, no more thinking.
Since Xin Ci is also in the Vermilion Bird Courtyard, I can just go to his detached residence and ask him.
Heh heh, I'm a genius.
Liu Mu Ming became frivolous again, humming a little tune, and leisurely walked towards Xin Ci's detached residence.
As he passed by the Vermilion Bird Lake within the courtyard, Liu Mu Ming spotted a furtive figure standing on a large rock by the lake.
He took a closer look.
Isn't that the little fatty by Xin Ci's side?
What is he doing?
Liu Mu Ming couldn't help but approach.
He saw Luo Fei holding a strange contraption, which seemed to be two tubes joined together, placing it in front of his eyes and looking at something in the distance.
Even as he approached, Luo Fei, the little fatty, didn't notice.
"Little fatty, what are you doing?"
"Uh! Nothing..."
Liu Mu Ming's sudden question startled him. He quickly hid the strange contraption behind his back, breaking into a cold sweat, and said guiltily.
"Don't hide it, tell me quickly, what is that thing?"
"This..."
Seeing Luo Fei hesitate, it seemed he was unwilling to tell him.
"What a pain, look at how stingy you are. Letting this young master take a look won't do any harm," Liu Mu Ming said irritably.
Luo Fei then reluctantly took it out.
"Alright, but you absolutely must not spread this around."
Liu Mu Ming fiddled with the two tube-like objects, not understanding their purpose.
So he tried putting them to his eyes, just as Luo Fei had done earlier.
Unexpectedly, his vision widened, and he could see things extremely far away.
He could also clearly see Li Jian Xing practicing swordplay under the moonlight in Xin Ci's detached residence.
Liu Mu Ming was somewhat astonished and couldn't help but exclaim, "Little fatty, where did you get this thing? This is practically a peeping... err, I mean, a long-distance viewing artifact!"
"Of course, this is my exclusive creation, Luo Fei, called the 'Thousand Mile Remote Viewer.' What do you think? Impressive, right!"
Luo Fei smugly raised an eyebrow.
Afterward, Liu Mu Ming, acting as if they were old friends, hooked his arm around Luo Fei's shoulder and said slyly, "Heh heh, little fatty, you must have more of these good things, right? How about giving one to this young master."
"Dream on. Do you know how much effort I put into this? I've only made two so far," Luo Fei refused, shaking his head.
"Then this young master will buy it with spirit stones, that's acceptable, right?"
"Heh heh, I've been waiting for you to say that."
Liu Mu Ming suddenly realized he had been tricked.
"Alright, you little brat, you've been plotting to trick me into buying it, haven't you?"
"Just tell me if you want it or not."
"Of course, I want it. How many spirit stones?"
"One hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones."
"Why don't you go rob someone! One hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for a high-grade spirit artifact!" Liu Mu Ming exclaimed excitedly.
Luo Fei pushed away the hand hooked around his shoulder and chuckled, "Rarity breeds value."
In fact, he mainly wanted to gather enough spirit stones to repay Xin Ci.
Liu Mu Ming could see that this guy was really planning to extort him.
Although, given his status, one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones was nothing.
However, he hadn't brought many spirit stones with him when he came to the Four Symbols Academy.
So, he suddenly had an idea and showed a strange smile.
"Almost forgot, little fatty, the direction you were looking just now seemed to be towards the female students' detached residences, right?"
"No way... I was just looking at the scenery."
"Don't pretend. We're all men, don't I know you? You don't want your peeping at girls to be exposed, do you? You understand what I mean, to keep me quiet."
"Damn it, you got me."
In the end, Luo Fei reluctantly gave him a Thousand Mile Remote Viewer, and at the same time, took out another one from his Spatial Ring.
It seemed the little fatty had quite a few in stock.
Liu Mu Ming held the Thousand Mile Remote Viewer, feeling incredibly pleased.
Right, let's see what Xin Ci is doing.
So, he used the Thousand Mile Remote Viewer to look towards Xin Ci's detached residence, and Luo Fei, the little fatty, joined him.
Huh? The window of Xin Ci's room wasn't closed, and no one was inside.
Where did that guy go?
Just as they were wondering where Xin Ci was, a furtive little figure secretly climbed through the window and entered Xin Ci's room.
Liu Mu Ming took a closer look and realized it was that beautiful senior sister from before!
His heart instantly cheered, he had finally found this beautiful senior sister.
But why would she sneak into Xin Ci's room?
"Boss is too amazing, he can actually get such a stunning woman to sneak in to see him. This is truly explosive news, heh heh."
Luo Fei was somewhat envious of Xin Ci after seeing Mu Qing Qing's beauty.
In the room, Mu Qing Qing seemed unaware that her actions were being observed by Xin Ci's two good friends.
Mu Qing Qing was very annoyed. She had originally wanted to enjoy the feeling of having a body a little longer, but she ran into Liu Mu Ming, forcing her to return to her room.
She should first change Xin Ci's body back to normal.
After a dazzling blue light, Mu Qing Qing had returned to her consciousness space.
Xin Ci's main personality also switched back, and his body returned to its original male form.
However, Xin Ci was still fast asleep, lying quietly on the bed.
But the scene of Xin Ci's body changing was witnessed by Luo Fei and Liu Mu Ming, who were far away at Vermilion Bird Lake.
This directly stunned their eyes, and they instinctively pinched each other.
"Ouch, why are you pinching so hard?"
"You still have the nerve to say that, weren't you pinching just as hard?"
However, both of them felt pain, which meant that what they had just seen was not an illusion.
Liu Mu Ming said in a daze, "Did I see correctly? That beautiful senior sister is actually Xin Ci!"
"Boss is... a woman?!" Luo Fei also found it hard to believe.
They had thought that stunning woman was there to meet Xin Ci in secret, but they never expected that woman to be Xin Ci himself!
These two were stunned for a long time and couldn't snap out of it.
"What should we do next?"
Luo Fei suddenly felt a bit lost.
Liu Mu Ming, however, rolled his eyes at him irritably and asked suspiciously.
"What do you mean, what to do? You're always following Xin Ci around, do you not know he's a woman?"
This left Luo Fei speechless, and he immediately shook his head in denial.
"Impossible. Boss looks like a man no matter what, and he has an Adam's apple."
"Could it be that she cultivated some special disguise technique? That blue light is proof."
Liu Mu Ming's background was more special, and he had seen more than Luo Fei, so he explained.
"I once saw a King-level expert known as the 'Thousand-Faced Illusion Lord.' The cultivation technique he practiced, [Thousand People, Thousand Faces], allowed him to disguise himself as various individuals to evade his enemies. It is even said that this technique could alter his physical structure."
