Canyon Peak City.
The news of Zhenfeng College rejecting the joint invitation of the other four colleges quickly spread here. However, there was only Canyon Peak City here. Dean Ba Liyan was puzzled by Lu Ping's sudden change of mind, but he only muttered a few words in his heart. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him and Canyon Peak City, so he wasn't that curious.
City Lord Draconis once again visited Zhenfeng College after receiving the news. He was in a much better mood than the last time.
"Is this okay?" Lu Ping asked him.
"Mhmm," Draconis nodded as he placed the wooden box on the desk in the Dean's office.
"Did you change the table?" He asked casually.
"The previous one is broken," Lu Ping answered casually. Then, the two's attention returned to the wooden box.
"This was specially prepared for you," Draconis said.
"What is it?"
"A face-changing mask," Draconis said as he opened the wooden box. There was a thick stack of masks inside.
"Because you only want to hide your true appearance and not disguise yourself as someone, it's very easy." Draconis said as he picked up a mask. It looked soft when he held it in his hand, but when he smoothed it and put it on his face, Draconis immediately changed his face. It was impossible to see with the naked eye.
However, Lu Ping frowned. He couldn't see it, but he could hear the flow of Soul Force on Draconis's face through his Hearing ability. This mask was obviously produced through some kind of Soul Force ability.
"You can sense it?" Draconis noticed Lu Ping's expression and was a little surprised.
Lu Ping nodded.
"Your perception is very keen!" Draconis said as his eyes suddenly flashed. However, as soon as his gaze met Lu Ping's, it was as if a stone had sunk into the ocean, and there was no trace of it.
"What do you want?" Lu Ping looked at Draconis warily.
"I'm just curious," said Draconis.
Lu Ping didn't pay any more attention to Long Xing's gaze. He took out a mask from the wooden box.
"Just put it on your face and it will change your facial features. As you can see, xiuzhe with keen senses may be able to detect its existence, but it does not exclude the possibility that some people may be able to see your true appearance through it. However, we have found a very good solution to this situation through practice, "Draconis said.
"How?" Lu Ping asked.
"Wear two." As Draconis spoke, he took out another mask from the wooden box and put it on his face. In the blink of an eye, his appearance changed again.
"How is it? Can you still see my original appearance?" He said confidently.
"I can't see your original appearance." Lu Ping said.
"Oh, in short, no one will be able to see your true appearance. Even if they find out that you are in disguise, it doesn't matter. It is not uncommon for xiuzhe to not want to show their true appearance. You just have to think of a reasonable explanation for yourself. " As Draconis spoke, he raised his hand and wiped his face. The two masks were taken off his face, restoring his original appearance.
"As long as the mask does not look damaged, it can be used repeatedly," he said.
"Will each mask produce a different appearance?" Lu Ping asked.
"Yes," Draconis nodded, "But if the same mask is used by the same person, it will only have one appearance."
"So if one is broken and I change to another one, my appearance will change again?" Lu Ping said.
"Yes. In any case, your disguise is not a secret, so it doesn't matter, right? "Draconis said.
"It doesn't matter. But what is the difference between this and me using a piece of cloth to cover my face? "Lu Ping said.
"That way, I only need to use a simple X-ray to see your true appearance." Draconis said.
"That makes sense." Lu Ping nodded.
"Do you have any more questions?" Draconis asked.
"Not at the moment." Lu Ping said.
"Okay, you keep all of these. I don't know how many people you plan to send, but these should be enough." Draconis said.
"How many masks are here?" Lu Ping asked.
"Forty-five. This is also considering that you may experience a battle, so there is a possibility of it being damaged. Otherwise, this mask would not be damaged so easily. "Draconis said.
"Understood." Lu Ping nodded and put the mask in his hand back into the box.
"Also, this is the time and location of the four academies' assembly." Draconis said as he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lu Ping.
"Yanmen Pavilion, 2nd of February." Lu Ping read out the contents of the paper. Because they had declined the call, there was naturally no one to inform Zhenfeng College of the follow-up matters. It was inevitable that Draconis would ask around.
"It is said that a thousand years ago, the final battle that completely defeated the Dark Academy and forced them to flee to the bitter cold outside the pass took place at Yanmen Pavilion. That is why this place has been preserved for a thousand years." Draconis introduced.
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded and put away the paper.
"After that, it is up to you to be careful. Unless you die, do not reveal your identity. Otherwise, Zhenfeng College and I will be in great danger. "Draconis said.
"If I die, will you still be in danger?" Lu Ping was puzzled.
"What I'm saying is, unless you die. To be honest, if you die, everyone will be happy about it. Do you want to think about it?" Long Xing said.
"I'm afraid I will disappoint you." Lu Ping smiled.
"Alas! Alas! Alas! What bad luck!" Long Xing sighed. He didn't bid farewell to Lu Ping and just left. Lu Ping then picked up the box of masks and quickly gathered Su Tang, Morin, and the others.
"Your craftsmanship is really good!" Morin had seen this kind of thing many times in the assassin's circle. He picked up a mask from the box and after looking at it carefully, he couldn't help but praise it.
"Your appearance is hidden, but your strength …" Fang Yizhu said. The series of abilities Lu Ping displayed through the Soul of Ming were very special. After the battle in the Big Dipper Valley, there were still many people who could recognize it.
"Isn't it fine if you don't leave anyone alive?" After all, Jin was born in the underworld. She could think of killing people without thinking.
"Let's act according to the situation." Chu Min said.
"En." Lu Ping nodded and then looked at the crowd, "Besides me and Su Tang, who else wants to go?"
Su Tang smiled on the side. She was very satisfied that Lu Ping directly counted her.
"Morin. He is more experienced in this kind of sneaky thing." Chu Min said. Then everyone found that Morin was trying to leave sneakily, but everyone's eyes were focused on him.
"Senior Fang is resourceful, despicable and insidious enough. He is also a very suitable candidate." Morin quickly recommended Fang Yizhu.
"The school still needs someone to take charge. I should be more suitable than you." Fang Yizhu said confidently.
"Sister Jin, you stay and help too." Lu Ping said.
Sister Jin was obviously relieved and nodded happily. Crusade against the Dark Academy? She obviously had no position in this kind of thing, and naturally didn't want to work for this kind of thing.
"What about Teacher Chu Min?" Lu Ping looked at Chu Min.
"We still need to keep an eye on Draconis." Chu Min said, and then glanced at Sister Jin inadvertently.
Sister Jin noticed it and smiled without saying anything. She joined halfway. Her family background was not good, and she hadn't been here for long. The trust she received at the critical moment could not be compared with others. Moreover, in her realm of Four Spirits Connected, only Lu Ping and Chu Min were stronger than her. If Lu Ping and Chu Min were not here, no one could easily stop her if she wanted to do something. So, Chu Min stayed because she wanted to keep an eye on her. Sister Jin was born in a group of people who tried to cheat each other. She felt that this kind of precaution was very normal and completely understood.
"Then Ziyan will also follow Teacher Chu Min!" Lu Ping looked at Ling Ziyan and said.
"Okay." Ling Ziyan was also very happy about this decision.
So in the end, only Morin had a bitter face.
"Don't go if you don't want to. It's not a big deal." Lu Ping looked at him and said with a smile.
"I dare to sneak into the North Style Academy and make trouble. Do you think I will be afraid of this?" Morin said.
"Then what are you worried about?" Lu Ping asked.
"I am afraid of the cold." Morin said, "The bitter cold land of the Far North makes me shiver just thinking about it."
"It's … very cold there." Lu Ping thought of the snowy day that he escaped from with Su Tang. If they didn't meet Guo Youdao, they would probably end up freezing to death in the snowfield.
"But, it's not impossible to overcome, right?" Morin suddenly smiled again.
"You'd better pay more attention to the real point." Chu Min said impatiently.
