Chapter 731: Linjiang is Angry

Chu Qingzhi’s purpose in venturing into the mountains was to find suitable basswood for making prosthetics. This type of wood is light and easy to carve, making it the best material for the job.

With a flicker of spiritual light at her fingertips, the basswood before her fell to the side. Following that, Chu Qingzhi chopped down five more basswood logs, piling them all together.

In total, ten people were in need of prosthetics—some needed hands, others arms, and some legs…

Chu Qingzhi lifted her hands, picturing the shape of the prosthetics in her mind, and began the technique of refining tools. The basswood logs flew into the air, gradually taking shape amidst the flashing spiritual light.

Da Bai lay on the ground, lazily watching the scene unfold as if it were a magic show.

It took an hour to complete the crafting of all the prosthetics.

Chu Qingzhi used vines to tie the prosthetics together, placing them on Da Bai’s back to carry out of the mountains.

As they were about to leave the woods, Chu Qingzhi’s foot was suddenly knocked by something hard. She moved her foot aside, looked down, and found a walnut in the grass.

Picking it up for a closer look, she noticed the walnut’s shell was still fresh, as if it had just fallen.

Looking up and around, she realized she was at the edge of a walnut grove with at least a hundred walnut trees. It was past the season for harvesting walnuts, and it seemed no one knew about this place.

Many walnuts had fallen to the ground, untouched. Her chosen location for the kiln was nearby.

This was great; she could buy the whole area later, and the walnut grove would be hers.

A windfall!

Chu Qingzhi placed the walnut on the ground and continued out with Da Bai, planning to come back to this matter after taking care of the injured soldiers.

Shuiyun County.

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang arranged for the injured soldiers who had undergone surgery to return to the house and let them recuperate in a quiet environment.

Just after settling in, they heard Da Bai’s voice and came out of the house.

Yuan Hongjun examined a prosthetic hand, “Master, this looks so real!” It was so lifelike that at first glance, they thought it was actually severed from a person.

Chu Qingzhi said, “Yes, all the prosthetics needed are here.”

Bao Linjiang looked at where the prosthetics would connect, “Master, how do we attach these to the people?”

“Don’t worry about it, I’ll handle the attachments,” Chu Qingzhi decided not to teach her two disciples how to attach the prosthetics just yet.

“Master, then what should we do?”

“Rest for now. There’s nothing for you to do here.”

“Yes.”

Chu Qingzhi, holding the prosthetics, entered the house, summoned the soldiers who needed hands, and had them drink a potion that induced sleep before lying down. Once they were unconscious, she began attaching the prosthetics…

Outside the room, Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang stood to one side, both wondering why their master didn’t allow them to learn by watching this time.

The guard from the free clinic hurried over, bowing, “Young Master Bao, Miss

Rong Shiyu has disappeared.”

Bao Linjiang was startled, “What did you say?”

The guard reported, “Miss Rong Shiyu left the free clinic area shortly after you left and has been missing since. We’ve searched the entire town but haven’t found her.”

Bao Linjiang thought to himself, Rong Shiyu didn’t know anyone in Tongzi County, where could she have gone?

Suddenly, an idea struck him, “Hongjun, stay here, I’ll go lookfor Rong Shiyu.” He was somewhat angry in his heart. They were busy to the point of exhaustion here, and Rong Shiyu had the audacity to disappear. It was so irresponsible!

“Alright, go ahead.”

Bao Linjiang fetched a horse and galloped off in search of Rong Shiyu.

In the Chu Village.

Today, Chu Qingyan’s makeup practice subject was Rong Shiyu. After finishing the makeup, she handed a mirror to Rong Shiyu, saying, “Sister Shiyu, look how beautiful you are.”

Rong Shiyu looked at herself in the mirror. She had exquisite makeup on and a pink flower decal between her brows. She really looked like a flower.

“Qingyan, your makeup skills are getting better and better.”

Chu Qingyan replied with a bit of pride, “Of course, I have a good sister and a great master.”

Rong Shiyu laughed, “It’s really well done, I can’t help but be enchanted by myself.”

Hearing this, Chu Qingyan suddenly had an idea and suggested, “Sister Shiyu, I’ve been learning howto do disguise makeup recently. Let me do it for you?” Rong Shiyu, puzzled, asked, “What’s disguise makeup?”

Chu Qingyan explained, “It’s about changing your face to look like someone else’s by drawing on it. It only changes how you look, and once you wash your face, it’s back to your own.”

Rong Shiyu was somewhat interested, “Let’s try it.”

Chu Qingyan first washed Rong Shiyu’s face clean before beginning the makeup.

After Bao Linjiang arrived in Chu village and immediately ran to Chu Qingzhi s house to look for someone, he glanced around the yard and headed towards the swing pavilion, “Qingyan, have you seen Rong Shiyu?”

Rong Shiyu was about to answer but realized Bao Linjiang, despite looking right at her, didn’t recognize her. So, she didn’t respond and instead looked at herself in the mirror.

To her surprise, her face really seemed to have changed.

Seeing that Rong Shiyu didn’t respond, Chu Qingyan was about to speak when Rong Shiyu tugged at her, asking, “Who’s Rong Shiyu?”

Chu Qingyan was stunned. Isn’t that you?

Rong Shiyu shot Chu Qingyan a secretive wink. “Mum’s the word,” she whispered. This guy had been ignoring her lately and was even close to another woman. She was unhappy.

Their reactions were strange, making Bao Linjiang ponder what was going on. Upon closer inspection, he noticed the girl wearing Rong Shiyu’s clothes, which made his heart skip a beat. He feared Rong Shiyu might have met with misfortune.

He stared at Rong Shiyu, pressing her coldly, “Have you seen Rong Shiyu?” This was Rong Shiyu’s first encounter with a cold-faced Bao Linjiang. The youth’s serious expression carried an inexplicable charm and an overwhelming presence, leaving her momentarily stunned.

Seeing no reaction from Rong Shiyu, he demanded more fiercely, If anything happens to Rong Shiyu, I will hold you accountable. Speak up now.”

Rong Shiyu recovered and smiled, “Who is Rong Shiyu to you? You seem very anxious about her.”

Bao Linjiang frowned, “You just need to tell me where Rong Shiyu is, nothing else concerns you.” Why does her voice also sound so familiar?

Rong Shiyu teased, “If you don’t explain clearly, how can I tell you her whereabouts?”

“So, you do know where Rong Shiyu is?” The odd feeling in Bao Linjiang’s heart grew stronger. He took a closer look at Rong Shiyu, noticing the hairstyle, jewelry, and earrings all belonged to Rong Shiyu. His gaze then fell on Chu Qingyan’s makeup tools, leading to a sudden realization.

He stepped forward, unexpectedly grabbing a wet cloth and wiping Rong Shiyu’s face, removing the makeup to reveal Rong Shiyu’s face beneath.

“You… this is too much!” Bao Linjiang became even angrier. Everyone was looking for her, and he was worried. Now that he had found her, she didn t come clean immediately but instead played tricks!
