Chapter 592 - 326: Young Master Emerges, Azure Fish Assembly! (Part 2)

Su Mu’s lips twitched slightly, and he continued to imitate.

"How well have you mastered the Five Forms of the Flood Dragon Shocking Skill?"

"I can barely perform them now."

"That’s enough. No one would expect an imposter to also know the Flood Dragon Shocking Skill. Being able to perform it is enough to make most people let down their guard."

Baili Hongtang analyzed, but her heart trembled slightly at Su Mu’s terrifying talent.

In the evening, in a side chamber of the Tang Garden, in front of the dressing table, Su Mu sat somewhat uneasily on a pearwood chair. An amiable-looking elderly woman was meticulously doing Su Mu’s eyebrows and hair.

In the mirror made of secret silver, another figure in red was reflected. Baili Hongtang was curiously watching the whole process nearby.

Time passed just like that.

Su Mu felt that time passed exceptionally slowly, with each breath feeling like a刻.

After approximately one and a half hours of makeup, Su Mu couldn’t help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. It felt even longer than the five days of previous cultivation.

"Young Master... this gentleman, please put on this garment."

Su Mu stood up, and the elderly woman helped him dress. It was a blue silk robe, embroidered with vivid patterns of cyan fish and waves, adorned with many precious jewels and rare stones.

The entire outfit looked luxurious and dazzling, yet a thin layer effectively shielded the winter cold. Just this piece of fancy clothing could cost an ordinary person a lifetime of wealth.

"Come, sir, please turn around and let the old lady take a look."

Su Mu obliged.

The elderly woman and Baili Hongtang circled him three times, both issuing exclamations of surprise one after the other.

"Sir, you now look like a second Young Master, as if carved from the same mold!"

The elderly woman marveled, satisfied not only with her makeup skills but also amazed by Su Mu’s masterful Disguise Technique; even Baili Hongtang was momentarily dazed.

For a moment, she almost mistook the person in front of her as her older brother, her mouth nearly uttering the words "Big Brother" instinctively.

"Only with both the Disguise Technique and makeup can it be considered perfect... makeup skill also has its merits."

Su Mu was also examining himself in the mirror, secretly nodding. The previous discomfort had mostly faded, acknowledging that makeup skill was indeed necessary.

In the secret silver mirror, Su Mu’s skin, under the makeup’s effect, appeared a healthy tan, the result of years of river outings, weathering the sun and wind. The man in the mirror looked around twenty-seven or eight, with sharp facial features. He wasn’t handsome but exuded a hearty and commanding aura, naturally commanding respect from the surrounding crowd, imbued with an invisible leader’s presence.

This guise was, naturally, the appearance of the Cyan Fish Gang’s Young Master Baili Feng.

"Such a superb makeup skill!"

Su Mu did not withhold his praise.

The elderly woman smiled amiably at his words, "This is just a trivial skill, nothing special; it’s the young master’s Disguise Technique that’s exquisite. If the young master is interested, you can come and find me in the future."

"Good, I will definitely seek your guidance then, Mrs. Sun."

Seeing Su Mu readily agree, the elderly woman hesitated for a moment, as she was just being polite and didn’t expect the man before her would actually plan to learn this feminine makeup skill from her.

"Of course, as long as the young master doesn’t mind, it’s not a secret method not to be passed down."

The elderly woman soon agreed.

"Wait... don’t move, let me have another look."

Beside him, Baili Hongtang’s beautiful eyes sparkled. Her scarlet dress approached, the skin at her neck delicate and snowy. Her bright eyes meticulously examined every detail of Su Mu.

The fragrance of red tang flowers wafted in with the wind. At such close distance, Su Mu could even feel the warmth of Baili Hongtang’s breath.

"How is it?"

After a long while, Baili Hongtang finished her scrutiny and Su Mu asked.

"If not for the use of my gifted eyesight, there are no flaws... it can be considered perfect!" Baili Hongtang affirmed, feeling more anxious than Su Mu about the upcoming meeting, but since he passed her inspection, there should be no problem.

"Big Brother, for the next two days, you should wear this robe to get used to it."

"Alright."

Su Mu responded calmly, stood up, and walked forward, his steps steady yet exuding an aura of dominance. The elderly woman nodded in approval, hoping that this time the Baili Family would overcome this crisis.

Later, Baili Hongtang brought Baili Feng’s weapon, a deep blue long saber named the ’Whale-Slaying Saber.’ A weapon is an extension of one’s fists and feet, and the Flood Dragon Shocking Skill encompasses fist and palm techniques, being exceptionally compatible with a long saber. Baili Feng was a master sabre wielder.

Su Mu accepted the long saber, hung it at his waist, and as he took two steps out, Baili Hongtang called him back.

"Something is still missing..."

Su Mu stopped, awaiting further instruction.

"Ah, it’s the murderous aura. My brother, after years of clearing river bandits, has beheaded many vicious criminals, naturally exuding a bloody murderous aura as he walks."

"Murderous aura, is it... how about this?"

Su Mu nodded, secretly channeling the Hundred Battles Fist. As he stepped forward again, a fearsome aura enveloped him, intimidating those around him.

"Yes, just like that."

Days and nights exchanged places, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

"Big Brother, let’s go. The meeting is about to start."

Baili Hongtang was still in her red dress, her makeup enhanced for the event, appearing more stunning and heroic. A gentle expression played on her face as she was already in character, showcasing extraordinary acting skills.

"Mm, little sister, let’s go."

Su Mu nodded slightly, slowly standing up and striding toward the door, with Baili Hongtang trailing by his side as they left Tang Garden.

In the Cyan Fish Robe, with the Whale-Slaying Saber, Su Mu walked with the grace of a dragon and the majesty of a tiger, his gaze resolute and authoritative.
