Chapter 63 Impersonation
As for Xia Li, she never expected that her day would be so full of twists and turns.
Sure enough, having just escaped from this inexplicable person, Zhang Junting, they were immediately pursued.
The enemy had more than twenty people, and Xia Li couldn't kill them all at once. Instead, he was forced into a dead end by them.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Zi tide sensed that her master was in danger. She woke up and swallowed everyone whole, shaking her snake head in disgust: "Ugh! It tastes awful."
"It's hard work of destroying the evidence, I'll find you some rare and precious treasures later."
"Okay, Master~ I'm going back to sleep now."
Zi tide quickly fell into a deep sleep because the jade marrow liquid had not yet been fully digested by her.
Xia Li was about to leave when she heard a faint cry for help.
She followed the sound and took a few steps forward, soon seeing a middle-aged man covered in blood deep in the alley, behind a pile of wine barrels.
Since the war ended before it even began, it didn't affect the middle-aged man hiding behind a pile of wine barrels at all.
Xia Li frowned: "Who are you? What's going on?"
The man saw her as if he had seen a glimmer of hope. His bloodshot eyes were filled with a desperate yearning for life: "Miss, I am Shangguan Qianqiu. I am being chased by my enemies and I am hiding here. Please save my life, and I will be willing to serve you."
Although the person in front of me was seriously injured, it was not hard to tell that he was a highly skilled martial artist, and judging from the noble air about him, his status was probably not low.
After a moment's thought, Xia Li said, "I can save you, but you must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao. I don't need your loyalty for life, just that you remain loyal to me and protect me for the next ten years. After ten years, you will regain your freedom."
Upon hearing this, the man felt a moment of anger. He thought to himself, the son of the Grand Tutor, that he was being forced to submit to someone else… But the Grand Tutor was long dead; he was nothing more than a disgraced official.
Moreover, that person said that only she could help him take revenge.
Ultimately, the will to live triumphed over everything, and it was only ten years later. He quickly made a vow to Heaven.
When a flash of red light entered the man's chest, it meant the vow was fulfilled.
"Alright, I am Xia Li from the Xia family. After you recover from your injuries, you will hide by my side to protect me."
After saying that, Xia Li knocked him unconscious when he was not paying attention, and then began to heal him with the light element. Afterwards, she left him in the courtyard to recuperate.
Then she used the system to exchange for a pill that could change her appearance and a talisman that could conceal her aura, easily entering the Third Prince's inner courtyard. She didn't need to guess; she knew today's assassins were the Third Prince's doing. She had to thwart his plans.
A force that the Third Prince must fear... Hmm, I've got it!
Xia Li made a hand seal, and all the doors and windows in the room closed automatically.
The loud slamming of the door quickly caught the Third Prince's attention. He looked around warily and roared, "Who? Who is it? Show yourself! Do you know who I am? How dare you trespass into the Third Prince's residence? Don't you have a death wish!"
He originally intended to attract the attention of the guards with a loud noise, but the surrounding area had been soundproofed, so only Xia Li walked out casually: "I am the old Grand Tutor's newly accepted disciple, and I know what you are planning."
"What?" The Third Prince was incredulous upon hearing this. "Impossible! I heard the Imperial Preceptor is a man."
"Hahaha, not at all, not at all. We can't judge an object by its appearance alone. How do you know it's a man? Have you seen him before? Does he not need an identity outside?"
After Xia Li finished speaking, he changed into several different characters, and finally even transformed into the appearance of the Third Prince.
He was so shocked he couldn't speak.
This is this...
The expression, the aura... it's not that they're exactly the same, but even their closest relatives wouldn't recognize them.
Seeing that she had intimidated the Third Prince, Xia Li reverted to her original appearance and spoke meaningfully:
"Perhaps, the Ali standing in front of you is not Xia Li, the eldest daughter of the Xia family?"
"What do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything. I'll still need this identity to handle things in the future, so don't cause me any trouble. Otherwise, you'll never be able to get to that position."
After saying that, Xia Li disappeared.
Hiding in the shadows, Yu Yang found it quite amusing. He thought to himself that she didn't even know who the Little Imperial Advisor was, yet she dared to act so arrogantly, but her body still honestly showed itself to provide Ali with another layer of protection.
Having just been terrified by Xia Li, the Third Prince was now faced with another person in the manor whose cultivation level was unknown. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Yu Yang didn't care about his shame. He snorted coldly and unleashed his full power: "The master doesn't want to get involved in your dirty business, but don't even think about challenging the dignity of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. Otherwise, I can take your life at any time!"
He left as soon as he finished speaking, not even giving him a chance to react.
But just based on this one imposing aura that made the Third Prince kneel on the ground, the Third Prince was certain that this person definitely possessed the cultivation of a Nascent Soul cultivator, or even higher. Moreover, the two moved freely without even being noticed by the guards in the manor, which made him believe the whole story to the point that he completely abandoned the idea of causing trouble for Xia Li.
