Song Hui Yao stared at her with his eyes slightly narrowed. "...Why do you want to know?"

"..." She looked into his eyes and said, "It may help me with my planning."

There was a moment of silence in the room before Song Hui Yao closed his eyes and opened his mouth, "Yes, there are two more books."

Zhu Xiao Wan's ears perked up to listen.

He lifted his eyelids and began to talk. "One is Physique Altering and the other is Altering of Others."

Hearing that, Zhu Xiao Wan's eyes lit up faintly and the glint quickly disappeared. "...Did you master them?"

Glancing at her, he said, "I did master them."

She pondered for a bit then she gazed at him and said, "I will need your help soon."

Zhuang Yin was sitting in his room while listening to his subordinate, he looked outside.

"Master, it seemed like we are not the only one monitoring Tang Rue. The emperor also sent a person to watch over her." Bin Li said as he looked at his master whilst grinning.

"I presumed this..." the corners of Zhuang Yin's lips curled upward. 'No, she expected this.'

Bin Li just smiled and said, "It seemed like Tang Rue is going to go meet Lu Shan four days later. The other guy got a hold of this news, too."

"He'll probably inform Tang Tian soon," Zhuang Yin carried on, "I also need to inform Young Miss Zhu about this."

-----

"So...the first two books teach how to alter oneself's appearance," Zhu Xiao Wan said, "and the third is how to alter other's appearance with the knowledge from the first two."

Song Hui Yao nodded, "And what is it that you need help with?"

She blinked and started to say, "I was thinking of abducting-" but was interrupted halfway.

The door opened and Yin Yi showed up, "Master, Young Master Zhuang Yin is here. He wants to see Young Miss Zhu."

Raising his brows, Song Hui Yao turned to her. "You should go now."

"Please come with me, I don't want to explain twice." Zhu Xiao Wan stood up, "But I will need your help."

'Abducting, she said...' He was contemplating her for a second and said, "Okay, I will help you."

At the guest room, Zhuang Yin was sipping the tea while waiting for Zhu Xiao Wan to show up. Soon, he saw her and Song Hui Yao entered the room.

"Young Miss Zhu," Zhuang Yin stood up as he looked at them.

After they all sat down, he started speaking, "I'm sure you know why I'm here."

Zhu Xiao Wan nodded, then he turned to look at Song Hui Yao.

Noticing his action, she said, "It's fine."

Averting his eyes back to her, Zhuang Yin said, "The emperor sent people to monitor Tang Rue and it appeared that she is going to meet Lu Shan, the head of the Lu Family in four days."

'Four days...' Zhu Xiao Wan gazed at the floor.

"This is just my opinion but the emperor seemed to be highly suspicious of Tang Rue." Zhuang Yin said, "He sent his most trusted subordinate to watch her after all."

She was musing on the situation for a while before her lips parted, "Do you know how Lu Shan is like?"

Zhuang Yin lifted his brows in puzzlement, "What do you mean? As to how his behaviours are?"

"Yes," she responded, "Can you personate him?"

His eyes were enlarged as he gasped vaguely, "Personate, but how?"

"Can you do it?" Zhu Xiao Wan repeated, disregarding his question.

He considered his circumstances then said, "I can't, I have to lead the emperor to the place if we are going to do the 'caught red-handed' way as you said."

She thought so, however, how was she able to impersonate Lu Shan when she knew nothing about him. She needed to know at least how he acted like lest to raise suspicion. There were four days left, she might as well intrude into where Lu Shan lived to observe him.

Zhu Xiao Wan's line of sight went to Song Hui Yao, who had been gazing outside the window. She said, "I will impersonate Lu Shan then. You must come with me, please."

Hearing her saying 'please' and stuff made Song Hui Yao quivered faintly. She actually sounded like she was asking for a favour from a friend rather than ordering a subordinate.
