"Elder, are you Young Master Lin's subordinate?" The young man asked respectfully when he saw Elder Liang.
"That's right." Elder Liang nodded.
The other party continued, "I am Miss Zhou Yingxue's subordinate."
Seeing that the other party was not lying, Elder Liang asked, "Did something happen to Miss Zhou?"
"Second Miss has been grounded by the Old Master and is not allowed to take a step out of the house. So, she is unable to come and see you," the other party said.
"If that's the case, what will happen to her promise?" Elder Liang furrowed his brows.
He did not expect Zhou Yingxue to be grounded by the Zhou Family's Patriarch.
"Miss said that she is thinking of a solution. All you need to do is to wait patiently. When the time comes, she will tell you the solution," the young man replied.
"Is that so?" Elder Liang furrowed his brows.
After saying that, the young man turned around and left. Elder Liang immediately went to look for Linlong and told him everything the young man said.
"I didn't expect something like this to happen." Linlong could not help but furrow his brows after hearing Elder Liang's words.
After thinking about it, he understood why. It was obvious that the Zhou Family's Patriarch had heard about what happened in the Mask Academy.
Seeing that his daughter was together with someone who could activate the Purple Fire Talisman, the Zhou Family's Patriarch was naturally afraid. He was afraid that Zhou Yingxue would become the enemy of the entire Icepeak Country. So, it was understandable that he grounded her.
It could even be said that the Zhou Family's Patriarch had sent someone to look for him.
However, it was obvious that the Zhou Family's Patriarch did not do so. As for Zhou Yingxue, she did not tell him about it either.
No matter what, I have to be careful. Linlong thought to himself.
Fortunately, he did not reveal his true appearance in the Mask Academy. So, he was not worried that someone would recognize him as the Linlong from the Mask Academy.
Of course, he had to change his name. He could not use the two words' Linlong 'anymore. No matter what, he could not let others associate him with the Mask Academy.
At this moment, Linlong furrowed his brows again. He realized that he had forgotten something. It was about him being a member of a different race.
If he really entered the secret realm of the Imperial City as Zhou Yingxue's subordinate, the people in the Imperial City would definitely not allow him to wear a bamboo hat.
In other words, he had to find a way to hide his identity as a member of a different race. Otherwise, it would be even more dangerous than possessing the Purple Fire Talisman.
The most important thing was the shape of his ears. He could change his skin with some medicine, but he could not make his ears look the same as the people of this world.
Otherwise, he would not have worn a bamboo hat all the time.
I might as well ask Elder Liang, Elder Hu, and the others to see if they have any ideas, Linlong thought.
After all, they were the people of this world and had lived for a long time.
Immediately, Lin Long called Elder Hu, Elder Liang, Elder Wang, and Feng Tian over. The reason why he called them over was because they had taken his Fate Abiding Pill.
He didn't want others to know that he was a member of a different race.
"What's the matter, Young Master?" they asked respectfully.
"It's like this. I'm actually a mutated human." Linlong took off his bamboo hat.
When they saw the shape of Lin Long's ears, they were dumbfounded.
They did not expect Lin Long to be a member of a different race. As Lin Long had not shown his face to them, they did not know that he was a member of a different race.
"I actually came from another world …" Linlong gave a simple introduction.
After Lin Long finished, Elder Wang said, "Is the Young Master worried about not being able to enter the Imperial City Secret Realm?"
"That's right." Lin Long nodded. "It is impossible for me to wear a bamboo hat into the Imperial City Secret Realm. The reason why I called you here is to see if there is a way for me to enter the Imperial City Secret Realm."
After a moment of silence, Elder Liang said, "There is a way for the Young Master to do that."
"Oh? What is it?" Lin Long's heart was immediately filled with joy.
"Our world has a mask made of Golden Silk. This mask can even change the shape of the ears. If the Young Master wears this mask, it should not be a problem for you to enter." Elder Liang said.
"Elder Liang, are you talking about the Golden Silk Mask made by Master Qin Shuyi?" Elder Hu couldn't help but ask.
"That's right. The Golden Silk Mask made by Master Qin Shuyi. Other than him, no other mask has such an effect. Moreover, it is easy for others to recognize it." Elder Liang said.
"However, the mask made by Qin Shuyi might not be able to change the shape of the ears, right?" Feng Tian asked doubtfully.
"Elder Feng, you are wrong." Elder Liang shook his head and said, "The mask made by Qin Shuyi can change the shape of the ears. I was fortunate enough to obtain such a mask in the past, so I know about it."
"Is that so? Then I must be ignorant." Feng Tian said awkwardly.
"Then, where can we find such a mask? Should we ask Qin Shuyi for one?" Lin Long asked.
"Qin Shuyi does not have a mask. It has been many years since he last made one. The only ones that are circulating in the market are the ones he made before. Such a mask is pitifully rare. In the entire Ice Peak Country, there are only a handful of such masks." Elder Liang shook his head.
"Oh? Then who has such a mask?" Lin Long asked again.
"I don't know about that." Elder Liang smiled bitterly and said, "The mask I encountered previously belonged to someone else. However, that person has long since disappeared. Moreover, the mask in that person's hand is that of an old man. It is not suitable for Young Master to use now."
"Oh, then do any of you know of such a mask that is suitable for me?" Lin Long looked at the others and asked.
Hearing his words, the others shook their heads.
Elder Liang said, "Usually, people who have such a mask will not make it public. After all, they want to use such a mask to change their appearance."
"Then can't other people's masks be changed?" Lin Long asked.
"That is possible. However, it is easy to see through other people's masks. Only the mask made by Master Qin Shuyi is difficult to see through," Elder Liang said.
He then added, "It is precisely because of this that Qin Shuyi's mask is extremely precious."
Hearing his words, Lin Long could not help but ask, "Then what should we do?"
"We can only ask around and see if we can find such a mask," Elder Liang said.
"Can we directly look for Qin Shuyi and ask him to make a new mask?" Lin Long asked.
"That is a little difficult. Previously, I heard that a prince in the Imperial City personally went to look for him, but he directly rejected them, saying that he would never make a Golden Silk Mask in his life." Elder Liang said.
"That is not necessarily true. If we find him, I believe that he will be moved by me!" Lin Long said directly.
Lin Long had a lot of bargaining chips. Just a Purple Flame Talisman alone would probably be enough to move Qin Shuyi. Of course, he would not use the method of making the Purple Flame Talisman to trade. At most, he would take out a Purple Flame Talisman.
However, the prerequisite was that Wu Ziheng would give him the essence blood of the purple tiger.
"If Young Master is so confident, then we can try to find him. However, Qin Shuyi's whereabouts are uncertain. Most of the time, he is not in the Icy Peak Country. So, it is possible that by the time we find him, the matter of entering the Imperial City's Secret Territory will already be over," Elder Liang said.
"We can only try." Lin Long frowned.
At that moment, he sent these people to ask where such a mask could be found. At the same time, he also asked them to find out where Qin Shuyi was.
Although Lin Long gave the order, only Elder Liang carried it out. After all, the others had been in the Academy of Mask and did not know much about the outside world.
Before they knew it, three days had passed. On the third day, the young man from before came again.
This time, he met Lin Long directly.
"Greetings, Young Master Lin," he said respectfully when he saw Lin Long.
"Is there any news from Miss Zhou?" Lin Long asked directly.
"Second Miss said that she can no longer participate in this competition. However, she has found another candidate. That is her best friend. This best friend is the eldest daughter of the Qian family in the Imperial City, Qian Jiayi," the young man said.
After a short pause, he said again, "Miss Qian will come to find you in two days."
"Alright." Lin Long nodded.
The young man said again, "However, Miss Qian is a little troublesome."
"What kind of trouble?" Lin Long asked.
"Miss Qian's strength is not strong. She has not completely grasped the Level Two Ice Talisman. With her strength, it will be difficult for her to enter the mystic realm," the young man said.
"Is that so?" Lin Long frowned.
"However, there is no other way. Second Miss really can't find another candidate. After all, Young Master's background is unknown. It will be difficult for others to take you in as a subordinate. After thinking about it, Second Miss can only choose you," the young man said.
"Alright then," Lin Long replied.
"Then, I will take my leave." With that, the young man left.
On the second day after he left, a young lady of 19 or 20 years old brought two people to find Lin Long.
"You must be Young Master Lin?" She smiled when she saw Lin Long.
After smiling, she asked curiously, "Young Master Lin, why don't you take off your big bamboo hat?"
"Due to some reasons, it is not convenient for me to show my true face," Lin Long said.
Hearing Lin Long's words, the young lady did not continue asking. It was obvious that she trusted Zhou Yingxue. If it was someone else, they would not even be able to see Lin Long's true face.
Lin Long asked, "This lady must be Miss Qian Jiayi from the Qian Family, right?"
"Yes." She nodded.
As she spoke, she took out a jade pendant. Looking at the jade pendant, Lin Long believed her words even more because this jade pendant was what Zhou Yingxue had been wearing before.
Then, she said, "Yingxue sent someone to find me and said that she wanted me to bring you into the mystic realm of the imperial city. Because of my relationship with Yingxue, I agreed. Of course, it was also because of what Yingxue said. He said that you are very strong. If I bring you in, you will be able to achieve great things in the mystic realm!"
Saying that, she could not help but smile. "Of course, the prerequisite for all of this is whether I can pass the competition and enter the mystic realm."
Lin Long said, "I have already heard that Miss Qian has not fully grasped the Level Two Ice Talisman. It will be difficult for you to pass the competition and enter the mystic realm."
"That is the situation," Qian Jiayi said awkwardly.
"About that, let me teach you. Perhaps your strength will improve by leaps and bounds in a month," Lin Long said.
"Is that true?" Qian Jiayi did not believe it.
"Where there is a will, there is a will. Miss Qian, how will you know if you don't try?" Lin Long smiled.
Qian Jiayi nodded. "Alright then, I will give it a try."
"Then, from tomorrow onwards, come to my place for half a day every day," Lin Long said.
"Okay!" Qian Jiayi immediately agreed.
In the following days, Qian Jiayi would come to Lin Long's place early in the morning every day. As for Lin Long, he carefully taught her.
In the beginning, Lin Long was not a hundred percent confident, but after thoroughly understanding Qian Jiayi's strength, he was confident.
Of course, apart from teaching, Lin Long also made Qian Jiayi take his special Spirit Calming Pill. The effect of his special Spirit Calming Pill was even better than the ones he sold before.
Using both methods at the same time, Qian Jiayi could clearly feel that her strength was increasing.
"Young Master Lin is really amazing!" She could not help but exclaim in admiration.
After exclaiming in admiration, she could not help but ask, "Young Master Lin, did you give me the Spirit Calming Pill from the Spirit Calming Pill Store?"
She had asked before, but Lin Long did not answer.
Hearing her question again, Lin Long said, "That's right, it's the elixir from there."
Qian Jiayi could not help but ask, "The Spirit Calming Pill from there is not cheap, and there is no market for it. May I know where Young Master obtained it?"
"There is no market for it? What do you mean? "Lin Long was puzzled.
To be honest, he did not know anything about the Spirit Calming Pill because he was in the Mask Academy.
"At that time, the Spirit Calming Pill Store did not sell the Spirit Calming Pill for some reason. Later, the Yongjiang City's Zhou Clan announced that they had obtained the Spirit Calming Pill and began to refine it. But unexpectedly, the Zhou Clan did not even refine a single Spirit Calming Pill!" Qian Jiayi said.
"It shouldn't be like that!" Lin Long could not help but frown.
At that time, he personally went to the Zhou Clan and gave the Spirit Calming Pill to Zhou Han.
Did something happen to the Zhou Clan? He could not help but think of this possibility.
At this time, he had forgotten one thing, and that was that he had forgotten about Zhou Ling.
It seemed that he had to get someone to find Zhou Ling and ask him what had happened.
"Young Master Lin, why do you say that? Are you very familiar with the Yongjiang City's Zhou Clan?" Qian Jiayi asked doubtfully.
"Of course not, I'm just curious." Lin Long smiled.
He then continued to explain, "I bought a lot before, so I have some left now."
"I see." Qian Jiayi could not help but nod.
Lin Long's words did not make her doubt anything.
After thinking about it, Lin Long asked, "Does Miss Qian know what happened to the Yongjiang City's Zhou Clan?"
