Chapter 926: From head to toe, where do you look like a man?

Wanqi Zifeng's mouth twitched. Does he look like a debt collector?

"Put your hearts at ease, I don't intend to make you pay!" Wanqi Zifeng said unhappily.

These three women, their acting is so fake!

The three women instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Good thing we don't have to pay; otherwise, given the rarity of the Testing Face Stone, its value would be considerable.

Watching the three women change faces faster than flipping a page, Wanqi Zifeng rolled his eyes.

"Yuelang, go reinstall the Testing Face Stone." Wanqi Zifeng instructed the nearby Qiu Yue Lang.

"Yes, Master." Qiu Yue Lang took the Testing Face Stone and walked back to where he had placed it before.

Seeing this, all the disciples were stunned; they didn't expect the Palace Chief to still have a Testing Face Stone.

"Master, should we set up a protective formation?" Qiu Yue Lang asked.

Wanqi Zifeng shook his head: "No need, the Testing Face Stone itself is very tough; ordinary people can't break it."

Ye Qingran: "......" She felt Wanqi Zifeng was implying something about her.

"Well, this is really the last Testing Face Stone of our Academy Palace; just in case, could you…" Wanqi Zifeng trailed off.

"Don't worry, I'll try to stay away from it from now on!"

Wanqi Zifeng felt relieved, then lowered his head to glance at Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen, furrowing his brows.

"They…"

"They're the same!"

Wanqi Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

After Qiu Yue Lang placed the Testing Face Stone and returned, he stood to the side, his gaze looking elsewhere; Wanqi Zifeng narrowed his eyes suspiciously: "Yuelang, why do I feel you're acting strange?"

Qiu Yue Lang's heart jolted, he shook his head to deny: "Master, I haven't."

"You have!" Wanqi Zifeng said firmly; after a moment's thought he suddenly realized: "I said you're acting strange! Why don't you dare look at her?" Wanqi Zifeng pointed at Ye Qingran.

Ye Qingran raised her eyebrows.

As for Qiu Yue Lang, a suspicious flush appeared on his normally handsome face.

"Master, you're mistaken!"

Wanqi Zifeng looked at Qiu Yue Lang and then at Ye Qingran, as if realizing something, he glared at him: "Yuelang, I never expected you to be this kind of person!"

Qiu Yue Lang looked bewildered.

"What kind of person?"

"Yuelang, I know she's beautiful, but you two really aren't suited!"

Qiu Yue Lang: "......"

"Master, do you know what you're saying?"

Seeing Qiu Yue Lang's face turn bright red, Ye Qingran chuckled: "Where aren't we suited?"

Wanqi Zifeng said displeasedly: "Your kids could already be buying soy sauce, but my disciple is still a virgin."

"Master!!!" Qiu Yue Lang gritted his teeth.

……

"Hey, have you heard? Our Academy Palace's cafeteria has a new cook!"

"What's the big deal about the new cook? What's there to fuss over?"

"How could it not be a big deal? This cook not only has superb culinary skills, but most importantly, he's incredibly handsome!"

"Really or fake?"

"Absolutely certain!"

"Come on! Let's go to the cafeteria right now!"

……

Lu Badao was walking along the Academy Palace's path when this conversation came from the roadside; she first showed a curious expression, then curled her lips and hummed: "What are you thinking? You've already given up on beauty!"

Lu Badao lightly slapped herself, as if reminding herself.

Back then, she was deceived by that man's cooking and appearance!

"Xiao Hu, we can't go further; Mother will be worried if she can't find us."

"Alright."

A familiar voice came from ahead; Lu Badao's eyes lit up, she turned a corner, and indeed saw Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen playing.

"It's you guys!" Lu Badao exclaimed happily.

"Older sister?"

Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen smiled cutely and innocently, making Lu Badao feel a bit dizzy.

Damn it, they're tricking her into having kids again!

"Yes…"

Lu Badao's smile lingered; she blurted out half a sentence, then realizing, her expression changed.

"You've got it wrong, I'm a man!"

Lu Badao explained earnestly, while still putting on a very deep, manly demeanor.

Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen glanced at each other, blinking their big, watery eyes: "From head to toe, where do you look like a man?"

Lu Badao looked at her flat chest and retorted: "Where doesn't it look like one?"

"Nowhere looks like one!"

"......"

Lu Badao eventually compromised: "Impossible, others can tell; how did you two little brats figure it out?"

Xiao Hu shook their head, "It wasn't us who figured it out; it was Mother who told us."

Lu Badao stared, eyes wide, "Ye Qingran realized I'm not a man? When did that happen?"

But she was clearly wearing a treasure; even with Great Emperor-level cultivation, one couldn't discern her gender—how did Ye Qingran figure it out?

"It was right there at the testing stone yesterday!"

Lu Badao deflated like a punctured balloon, muttering, "The prettier that woman is, the more vicious her gaze!"

As he spoke, Lu Badao's eyes rolled, he took out some snacks from his space, grinning, "Little cuties, promise older sister one thing, and these treats are all yours!"

Bribe them?

Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen knew full well.

"What is it?"

"Help older sister keep this secret!"

"Sure, sure, but the benefits you're offering aren't tempting enough?"

Not tempting enough?

Lu Badao thought they were complaining the snacks were too few, so he brought out more, saying, "You know, the cafeteria food at the academy is really mediocre; these dishes I made are truly delicious human delicacies!"

Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen didn't agree, "But Mother's cooking is tastier than yours."

"What?" Lu Badao blinked, then retorted, "Impossible! My cooking skills are excellent!" That stinky guy may be awful, but his cooking is top-notch—so the saying goes, a great master produces great disciples; her cooking is also excellent.

"Do you know there's a new cook in the cafeteria? His food is better than yours. Your cooking can at best rank third."

Lu Badao gritted his teeth, hands on hips, "Who are first and second?"

"Second is the new cook uncle, and first is obviously our Mother!"

"I won't accept it!"

"There's nothing to be done." Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen shrugged in unison.

"I won't mention your Mother's cooking for now; as for that new cook, I will definitely find him to compete!"

Lu Badao narrowed his eyes, his fighting spirit rising.

At that moment, a group of people walked over; Lu Badao glanced over unintentionally, then upon seeing clearly the young man surrounded by stars, his expression changed drastically.

"Is it him? How could he be at Wànlíng Xuégōng?"

"You guys play, I'm leaving first!" After saying that, Lu Badao vanished.

Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen looked astonished, gazing at the direction Lu Badao had gone, then at the group, their faces full of confusion.

Who are these people? Why did Older Sister Badao run away upon seeing them?

At that moment, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of the academy gate.
