Prince of some country."Don't you think it might be a minor prince from another country I was considering that too, and when I checked the list, there really was someone named a minor prince who intro...Chapter 423 Camouflaged Sneak Thief 1

"I arranged people to form small teams for patrol, each team should be within the sight of another team. Also..." The Azure Tortoise Spirit Wind began to detail his arrangements, such as how many people should be stationed at certain positions and which areas are priorities.

"You did well; if I were in your position, I would have done the same!" The Azure Tortoise Wen Yuan was quite satisfied with the Azure Tortoise Spirit Wind's arrangement. There wasn't much to criticize, and he didn't mention minor details since such matters rely on experience to develop over time.

"What about Ling Jian" Suddenly, the Azure Tortoise Wen Yuan noticed this issue. Shang Ling Jian left after the Azure Tortoise Spirit Wind did, but why hadn’t he returned yet

“？？Did Ling Jian leave I didn't see anyone.” The Azure Tortoise Spirit Wind was somewhat surprised because Shang Ling Jian went in a different direction and naturally wouldn't encounter him.

"He left just after the second shout. Didn’t you see him" The Azure Tortoise Wen Yuan frowned as he said this.

"No, I had already arranged for someone else to handle the second attack victim. Where did Ling Jian go " The Azure Tortoise Spirit Wind also frowned and added, “Could it be...”

“No need to guess; I’m back! I just circled around but didn’t see any enemies.” Shang Ling Jian walked in and replied.

"Ling Jian, don't act alone without reason!" The Azure Tortoise Spirit Wind reproached him. At this time, if something happened, it would be troublesome.

"Got it! I’m back now!” said Shang Ling Jian then moved toward the door.

At that moment, the Azure Tortoise Linsi suddenly unsheathed her sword...

Was there some movement

The Azure Tortoise Spirit Wind and others were puzzled. Drawing a sword would indicate movement, but they hadn't noticed any activity. Could it be that the Azure Tortoise Linsi’s senses are more acute than ours

No, not quite right; she seemed to point at—Shang Ling Jian!!

"Linsi, what are you doing" Shang Ling Jian dodged her attack and asked irritably.

Why would the Azure Tortoise Linsi suddenly attack Shang Ling Jian This puzzled everyone. Had Shang Ling Jian angered her Even if he had, she hadn't attacked before out of anger.

"You don’t give off an unpleasant feeling!" The Azure Tortoise Linsi said to Shang Ling Jian.

“？？” Everyone was confused by this statement; what did it mean

"So that's it!!" The Azure Tortoise Wen Yuan muttered and tried to take down the opposite Shang Ling Jian.

Under normal circumstances, Shang Ling Jian wouldn't survive a single move against the Azure Tortoise Wen Yuan. But this time, he not only dodged but also seized the Azure Tortoise Linsi!

This all happened too fast, whether it was the Azure Tortoise Wen Yuan’s attack or Shang Ling Jian seizing the Azure Tortoise Linsi; everything transpired in an instant. The speed had to be at least Saint level.

The Azure Tortoise Wen Yuan was a Saint, this much was undeniable. But Shang Ling Jian...

I understand!! So that's what the Azure Tortoise Linsi meant: This Shang Ling Jian is fake! A fake Shang Ling Jian wouldn't give off an unpleasant feeling to the Azure Tortoise Linsi!

Still, it’s truly pitiful for Shang Ling Jian; he was disliked by the Azure Tortoise Linsi so much that she could sense his unpleasantness clearly.

However, if this Shang Ling Jian is fake, one can only say that the forgery is too realistic. It's almost indistinguishable except to the Azure Tortoise Linsi alone.

The situation was understandable; although the Azure Tortoise Wen Yuan and the Azure Tortoise Spirit Wind were relatives of Shang Ling Jian, they hadn’t interacted much with him. Under such intricate disguise techniques, it’s normal not to recognize him.

"Who are you What do you want" The Azure Tortoise Wen Yuan stared at this fake Shang Ling Jian, surprised by his speed that rivaled his own. Because of this, the fake managed to seize the Azure Tortoise Linsi.

“Azure Tortoise Wen Yuan! You’re too despicable and shameless!!” This fake Shang Ling Jian didn’t answer but pointed at him and cursed.

"？？" The Azure Tortoise Wen Yuan was bewildered; what was going on

"Tell me, how can one steal if you act like this Is this the way to do things I informed you in advance as a challenge. Who would have thought that you’d block the entrance with a crowd Though I lost this time, it's not embarrassing to spread the word!" The fake Shang Ling Jian said.

The identity of this fake Shang Ling Jian was now clear: He is truly the number one sneaky thief in the world. This visit left him feeling frustrated as he never imagined the Azure Tortoise family would act like this. Was there any fun in it

Sure enough, he did not give up and decided to try another approach. He planned to attack from the periphery, intending to lure away the guards. Later on, upon seeing Shang Ling Jian's appearance, he had an idea and pretended to be him, hoping to slip through.

As a professional thief, he had already thoroughly investigated the Black Warrior Clan when he came here. He knew who was in the clan and what kind of people they were, allowing him to transform into any one of them at will. His thievery techniques included disguise, which played a crucial part.

However, he did not expect his disguise to be seen through by Black Warrior Ling Xiao; this was likely due to the fact that he did not appear unpleasant enough. Nevertheless, there were still some consolations.

"You're indeed the thief's accomplice then Are you here to coordinate" Wu Xuanwenyuan didn't know at the time that the person in front of him was actually the number one thief in the world and thought he was a helper inside, responsible for coordination.

“What do you mean by accomplice I am the number one thief in the world!" The thief shouted indignantly. How could he be an accomplice An accomplice meant being unimportant; this must have been an insult!

"You're a thief then, but who's inside Is that your partner" Wu Xuanwenyuan was confused by this situation. However, he believed the thief wouldn't joke around now since there wasn't any reason for it.

“Partnership I don’t need an accomplice like me! Wu Xuanwenyuan, you're already being very dishonorable today—don’t implicate me further or else we'll never be done!" The thief was enraged. He felt that he had been insulted again.

Indeed, this thief also had a strong personality. He didn't steal for the sake of acquiring things; he just enjoyed stealing and would put back what he stole in secret. This was another thing he loved doing.

Many people who had been robbed by him still hadn’t found their lost items up to now, which made this a headache-inducing problem.

Perhaps Wu Xuanwenyuan was also because of this reason that he personally waited inside; the Black Warrior Scripture could not be treated as playthings and hidden carelessly in turn.

"What did you say You're alone, then who is the person inside" Wu Xuanwenyuan asked with surprise. Something to make him, a clan leader of high standing, so surprised was no trivial matter at all.

Others were not just surprised; they were shocked. They had never expected that such an event would actually happen: the person trapped before was neither the thief nor his partner but another unrelated individual.

Right from the start, everyone had been misled by a huge misunderstanding, and the guesses about who was inside might now have to be completely overturned!

"What person inside Do you mean that someone broke in" The thief was also greatly surprised. He hadn’t expected he would be beaten to it today; however, he didn't think this intruder had stolen his way in but forced their way in.

“No, not breaking in, he should be one of your kind.” Wu Xuanwenyuan said as he looked at the thief. He wanted to get some information from him since they were likely to know who was inside.

"Of my kind" The thief looked confusedly back at Wu Xuanwenyuan. What did you mean

“Could you please let go of my niece first We should talk properly.” Wu Xuanwenyuan pointed at Ling Xiao, who was still held by the thief. He didn't want to see her being held hostage when he spoke.

"Alright!" The thief immediately released Black Warrior Ling Xiao; in this situation, he didn’t wish to steal what was inside either and would not do so today at least.

He also believed that Wu Xuanwenyuan wouldn't do anything rash at such a time. Doing so would make the clan look terrible and harm their reputation.

Indeed, no one approached to deal with him after he let Black Warrior Ling Xiao go, setting up an equal dialogue environment between them.

"Also, could you please change your disguise" Wu Xuanwenyuan looked at the thief. At that point, the thief still resembled Shang Ling Jian and was uncomfortable for him to look at.

“No, I can't expose my true face.” The thief refused his suggestion.

"But could you please change your disguise This makes me very uncomfortable." Wu Xuanwenyuan tried asking again; this form really made him feel awkward and confused him.

“This is possible!” After saying that, the thief turned around once, right before everyone’s eyes, transformed his face, changed his hairstyle, even altered his clothes and body shape.

If it had been merely like this, it was already surprising enough to seem almost unbelievable. However, this wasn't all there was, and what followed made everyone think that the above-mentioned changes were mere trifles in comparison.

Indeed, these were nothing; they weren’t strange at all. The final transformation was truly magical.

The thief now appeared as a delicate young girl!!

Even her gender had changed in an instant—what else could be mentioned

"What do you think Isn't this better looking Can it meet your requirements" The thief giggled at Wu Xuanwenyuan and threw him a flirtatious glance.

“…” Looking at the girl-like thief, Wu Xuanwenyuan had heard about how powerful disguise techniques were—they could mimic anyone’s appearance; tall or short, old or young, male or female—there was no limit to their transformations.ty isn’t hard to find; most places have something like this. That’s why Xianyao was moved by the sight.Some people tend to travel far for scenery, but often nearby views are even better than distant o...
