Speaking of the Thousand-Faced Gentleman, Xu Long had a strange thought in his mind.
It's said he can change his face a thousand times in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If Haitang could learn this skill...
Hehehe...
Wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth, Xu Long quickly headed towards Haitang and the Thousand-Faced Gentleman.
About two minutes passed, Xu Long looked at the two Haitang in front of him, lost in thought.
They're not just somewhat similar, they're practically identical!
"I really mean it, he's the Thousand-Faced Gentleman!"
Seeing Xu Long in a daze, one of the Haitang spoke up.
Haitang thought Xu Long couldn't tell which one was the real her, while Xu Long was thinking about what it would feel like to have two women on his arms.
"I'm real, she's fake!"
Upon hearing what the Haitang Haitang, it immediately retorted.
"I'm real, she's fake!"
"I'm the real one, she's the fake one!"
The two Haitang, one after the other, were talking back and forth, almost like the real and fake Monkey Kings.
Zhen Haitang was a little anxious. She wanted to reveal the secret between herself and Xu Long, but after thinking about it, she held back.
"I understand, you're the real one!"
Xu Long pointed to the Haitang on the right and strode over.
Yes, it's true!
Haitang smiled broadly, her arms outstretched, as if trying to hug Xu Long.
However, in the next instant, two gusts of wind pierced through his shoulders.
"I remember her scent; it was sweet, with a milky smell. But you, you have body odor."
Xu Long snorted disdainfully and kicked the Thousand-Faced Gentleman's legs, breaking them both.
Having spent so much time with Haitang, how could Xu Long not be able to tell the difference?
It might be okay to fool strangers, but it definitely won't work on someone like Xu Long.
"Alright, from now on, I'll ask and you answer. If you satisfy me, I'll give you a quick death. If you dare to utter even a single lie, I don't mind practicing my skills."
Xu Long snorted coldly. He didn't actually know how to interrogate; at most, he would just slash at people with his knife a few times.
"Good!"
The Thousand-Faced Gentleman was delighted. He knew Haitang and naturally knew what kind of existence the Imperial Secret Agents were.
However, he really misunderstood Haitang. If it were Guihai Yidao instead, he would definitely make him wish he were dead.
However, Haitang had always been in charge of the Number One Under Heaven Manor, and she was not good at fighting and killing, let alone torture and forced confessions.
It took Xu Long more than two hours to memorize all of the Thousand-Faced Gentleman's disguise techniques.
[Hidden Mission: 6. Defeat the Thousand-Faced Gentleman! Completed! Earn 2000 points!]
This guy's martial arts skills are terrible; his strengths lie mainly in disguise and hidden weapons.
Having drained all of his Internal Force and essence, Xu Long, carrying Haitang, leaped away from the place.
Because Cao Zhengchun had been warned beforehand, the events in the original storyline where he repeatedly targeted Princess Yunluo and attempted to kill her did not occur.
At this moment, Princess Yunluo was obediently squatting in the Dragon Guardian Villa, surrounded by a large group of guards.
It is both protection and imprisonment.
Xu Long didn't want this silly girl running around causing him trouble.
Therefore, the Red Queen was placed under house arrest, and everything would be discussed upon his return.
Xu Long was gone for almost two months. Everything in the palace remained the same, but the Dragon Guardian Villa gained a new imperial spy.
Yellow Number One, Yagyu Piaoxu, is Xu Long's older sister Xu Jiao.
The Yagyu family originally belonged to the Iron Courage Divine Marquis. After the changes in the Giant Whale Gang, Yagyu Tajima no Kami died, and Xu Jiao was unwilling to go to Fusang, so she followed the Iron Courage Divine Marquis to the Great Ming.
Although she was made a secret agent for the imperial guards, the Iron Courage Divine Marquis did not trust her.
The reason for doing this was simply because the Iron Courage Divine Marquis didn't have enough men under his command.
The father-in-law, Duan Tianya, was severely injured by Xu Long and has not recovered to this day.
Haitang left the Dragon Guardian Villa to search for Wan Sanqian and hasn't returned yet. Furthermore, a spy has reported that Haitang is with Xu Long and they seem to be very close.
In addition, Cao Zhengchun's recent relentless harassment of him made him feel that the situation was not good.
Guihai Yidao is not enough, so we have to bring Xu Jiao in as well.
" Haitang, you've really disappointed me. I thought you'd fall in love with Tianya, Haitang thought you'd fall in love with Yidao, and maybe even Wan Sanqian. But I never imagined you'd Cheng Shifei."
Iron Courage Divine Marquis tore the letter in his hand to shreds, his face contorted with murderous intent.
He first made a great contribution by rescuing the Empress Dowager, and then refused to join the Dragon Guardian Villa.
Afterwards, he went to the Giant Whale Gang, injured Duan Tianya, and killed Li Tianhao and Yagyu Tajima no Kami.
Now they've gone to the Valley of Villains and killed the Five Poisons and the Thousand-Faced Gentleman.
Iron Courage Divine Marquis was a little confused about what Xu Long was up to. Not only had he offended him, but he had also ruthlessly wiped out all of Cao Zhengchun's men.
"Could he be one of the emperor's men? That doesn't seem right. My nephew doesn't have that kind of guts; at least not now, he wouldn't openly target me and Cao Zhengchun like that."
Iron Courage Divine Marquis's expression was grim; when he saw the words "Villains' Peak," his hand trembled involuntarily.
" Valley of Villains, Villains' Peak, so this is what you wanted to do..."
After returning to the capital, Xu Long did not go to Princess Yunluo's residence, nor did Haitang return to the Number One Under Heaven Manor.
The spies at the Dragon Guardian Villa are too skilled; her affair with Xu Long can't be kept secret at all.
By now, Iron Courage Divine Marquis must already know everything; if he were to return, he would surely be detained.
Haitang's heart is now completely devoted to Xu Long. She knows this world is an illusion and she knows what Xu Long is going to do.
Therefore, she tried her best to support them. If she couldn't help, she tried not to hold them back.
Xu Long led Haitang into the emperor's bedroom and they stayed there temporarily.
This place is arguably one of the safest places in the world; even Cao Zhengchun and the Iron Courage Divine Marquis wouldn't dare to break in.
"That's amazing! When did this happen?"
Looking at the Red Queen had returned to her original form, Haitang's face was full of surprise.
Who would have thought that the emperor of the Great Ming would die, and be replaced by something called a liquid metal robot?
"This seems even more powerful than the Thousand-Faced Gentleman! The Thousand-Faced Gentleman only used makeup and disguise, but this one alters even the bone structure."
Haitang curiously pinched and rubbed the Red Queen's face, constantly exclaiming in amazement.
"This can only be used on her, not on others, so it's not very useful to me."
Xu Long hugged Haitang from behind and said very gently, "What I want is this technology, which will allow me to transform into other forms anytime, anywhere. Of course, I hope you can learn it too."
"Should I learn it too? Who do you want me to become? Princess Yunluo?"
Haitang turned around, her eyes fixed on Xu Long, as if she could see right through his filthy heart.
"You're overthinking it. Yunluo is nowhere near as good as you."
Xu Long coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed.
