987: Her Skin Fell off Again

Her Skin Fell off Again

The ghouls of the Baili family were chatting happily.1

Xie Qiao finally stopped when it was almost noon the next day. When she stood up, she shook her head and wiped her forehead with a confused look.

A big piece of makeup fell off.

Baili Ji and the others were shocked.

Her skin fell off?

"Is her face fake?!" Some ghouls could not help but exclaim, "It's so scary. She's a Taoist master. Could she be the kind of evil that will absorb essence energy and change her skin to keep it young forever?" 

Baili Ji rolled his eyes at his useless grandson. "It's just a simple disguise. Why are you panicking?" 

"The old ancestor is right..." the ghouls nodded obediently.

They all sneakily hid next to the cabinet, their voices as soft as mosquitoes.

That piece of skin had fallen too much. Xie Qiao also noticed it, so she got someone to bring a basin of water and washed up briefly.

The makeup on her face was washed off, and she had to put it on again.

As for the ghouls next to her, Xie Qiao did not care too much. After all, there were some ghouls who knew her identity. If these ghouls were really curious about her, she would not be able to hide even if she wanted to.

"Y-You're actually so young?!" Baili Ji's old face could not help but tremble.

"Yes, because I'm young, when I was pretending to be a Taoist master, others didn't believe in my ability, so I had to change my appearance," Xie Qiao told the truth.

Baili Ji suddenly felt some heartache. "You're able to paint such a painting at such a young age, so you should focus more on that. What's the point of learning from your great Confucian teacher and the dao..." 

If he had such a talented child in his family, he would definitely make him focus on nothing but learning!

Other miscellaneous things would only be a waste of time!

It was not just Baili Ji who had complaints. Even the other members of the Baili family looked at Xie Qiao with a look of contempt at this moment.

"My main duty is to take care of ghouls, and my secondary hobby is reading," Xie Qiao emphasized.

Secondary... secondary?!

The Baili family members were all a little angry.

In this world, how many disciples of the humble class had no way out? If they had the opportunity to study, they would do their best to climb up the ladder!

Although she was only a young lady, she could rely on her own ability to become a talented woman of a generation, right? It was not as if there were no noble women in history who were famous for a long time!

What a pity, what a pity!

The group of ghouls had fierce eyes.

Xie Qiao, however, calmly put on her makeup and wore a gray Taoist robe. Then, she took the living soul that she had collected yesterday and left the Fortune Pavilion.

She had not slept the whole night and her footsteps were a little shaky. Fortunately, after entering the carriage, she was still some distance away from the Prince's Residence and could take a nap in between.

"Ancestor, if this is my child... I will definitely break her legs. I would rather let her stay home with nowhere to go than to detain her to study..." 

"If it weren't for her, no one would help you find your relatives." Baili Ji sighed in the end.

Everyone had their own fate, and everyone had their own theorem.

This young lady was very opinionated. Since she liked to be a Taoist master, there was no reason for others to stop her. He was not a stubborn old geezer, so he could still try to accept what young people think.

"After the young lady finishes helping, she will send those who are not capable away first. Those who are capable will stay behind and teach her properly," Baili Ji added.

It was not easy to meet a disciple that he liked. It was even more rare to meet a talented disciple.
