Chapter 84 Is it easy to change one's appearance?
In order to investigate and verify whether the new maid had disguised herself, Qi Yuxuan summoned the guards Yun Feiyang and Liu Qingluo, as well as Zhuifeng, who was skilled in disguise.
He knew that with Zhui Feng's professional insight, the truth might be fully revealed.
As night fell, the study was brightly lit.
Yun Feiyang, Liu Qingluo, and Zhuifeng entered the room one after another.
"Young master, what brings you here?" Yun Feiyang asked.
Qi Yuxuan nodded, his gaze sweeping over everyone.
"I suspect that the new maid in the manor may be in disguise. I would like to ask you to help me verify this."
Qi Yuxuan turned to Zhuifeng and asked in a serious tone, "Zhuifeng, you are an expert in disguise. Tell me, how can one make a disguise so that it is undetectable? Does such a superb disguise technique really exist in the world?"
Zhui Feng smiled slightly and stepped forward.
"Young master, the art of disguise is indeed a profound skill. To make it so that no one can detect any flaws, one needs to master several key points."
He paused, then continued, "First, the materials used for disguise must be extremely fine, able to perfectly adhere to the skin without leaving any trace. Second, the makeup skills must be exceptional, capable of making meticulous adjustments based on different facial features."
"Anything else?" Qi Yuxuan asked.
"Finally, and most importantly, is the disguiser's acting skills and demeanor. No matter how similar the appearance is, if the behavior and eyes are not right, it is easy to be recognized."
"Chasing the Wind" replied.
Qi Yuxuan nodded, indicating his understanding.
"Can you tell whether that maid was disguised?"
After a moment of contemplation, Zhui Feng replied, "I can try, but I need to observe her facial features and behavior up close."
Qi Yuxuan then instructed Liu Qingluo to summon the new maid, "Xiao Mei".
Not long after, Qiu Ziyue, wearing Xiaomei's face, entered the study and stood in front of everyone with her head down.
Qi Yuxuan said bluntly, "For safety's sake, I'll call a few guards over to check if you've disguised yourself."
Qiu Ziyue replied, "This servant obeys."
Zhui Feng walked up to Qiu Ziyue and began to carefully observe her facial features.
He first gently touched her cheek with his hand to feel the texture and temperature of her skin, and then carefully examined her eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips.
"Please turn your face towards the light," said Chasing Wind.
Qiu Ziyue turned her head as instructed, and Zhui Feng continued to observe her profile.
Next, he had Qiu Ziyue make some simple facial expressions, such as smiling and frowning, to observe her muscle reactions and changes in her eyes.
After a thorough examination, Zhui Feng seemed to have made a preliminary judgment.
But he didn't jump to conclusions immediately. Instead, he continued, "Xiaomei, can you tell me how you came to this manor?"
Qiu Ziyue felt a little nervous, but she tried her best to remain calm.
She replied, "I am a newly recruited maid of Miss Qi Yushuang, responsible for taking care of the young master's daily life."
Zhui Feng nodded, but his gaze remained sharp.
"Your eyes and demeanor seem very natural, but I still need to confirm further. Please allow me to do some more checks."
Zhui Feng took out a small bottle from his pocket and poured some clear liquid onto his finger.
He explained, "This is a special solvent that can detect whether a disguise has been used. If you haven't used a disguise, this liquid won't react."
Qiu Ziyue nodded in agreement.
Zhui Feng gently applied the liquid to her face, observing it carefully. After a moment, the liquid showed no change, and Zhui Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
“Xiaomei, you really haven’t disguised yourself. Your appearance and behavior are genuine.”
Qiu Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
“I haven’t had any cosmetic surgery. I’ve looked like this ever since my mother gave birth to me. To be honest, I’m quite self-conscious about it,” Qiu Ziyue said.
Qi Yuxuan told Qiu Ziyue to go back to her room.
After careful observation, Zhui Feng returned to Qi Yuxuan's side.
He said in a low voice, "Young master, this maid's facial features and skin texture are very natural, with no obvious signs of disguise. However, her behavior and eyes are somewhat unnatural, as if she is deliberately hiding something."
Qi Yuxuan frowned slightly and looked at Yun Feiyang and Liu Qingluo.
What do you think?
Yun Feiyang thought for a moment and then said, "Young Master, I think Zhuifeng is right. This maid's behavior is indeed a bit unnatural, perhaps because she is hiding something."
Liu Qingluo, speaking from a martial artist's perspective, added, "Moreover, her behavior is not like that of an ordinary maid. The way she walked and breathed just now showed signs of training."
Qi Yuxuan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, thank you."
Then, Qi Yuxuan asked Zhuifeng, "Is there any possibility in this world that there is a disguise technique that cannot be detected?"
Zhui Feng thought for a moment and said, "There should be. I heard from my master that during the time of Emperor Xuanzong and Consort Yang, there was a master from the Valley of Passion named Xue Wu. I heard that his disguise skills were simply divine and unmatched."
Qi Yuxuan listened intently, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. "Are there really people that amazing?"
Zhui Feng nodded and continued, "Yes, young master. This master's disguise technique can not only perfectly change a person's appearance, but also their temperament and behavior, making it completely undetectable."
Qi Yuxuan nodded thoughtfully, as if he had found the answer in his heart.
"I see. It seems that such advanced disguise techniques do exist in this world. If someone has mastered this skill, they can completely hide their true identity without being discovered."
"Zhuifeng, do you think Xiaomei might be someone who has mastered such advanced disguise techniques?" Qi Yuxuan asked.
Zhui Feng frowned slightly and thought about it seriously for a moment.
“Young master, although that maid did not show any obvious signs of disguise, her behavior and eyes were indeed somewhat unnatural. If she really had mastered such a high level of disguise, then ordinary inspection methods might not be able to detect any flaws.”
Qi Yuxuan nodded in agreement.
“We must be even more careful. Zhuifeng, could you investigate that maid's background more thoroughly? See if there's anything suspicious about her.” Zhuifeng nodded solemnly.
After the guards left, Qi Yuxuan sat alone in his study, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.
He knew that the investigation was far from over.
And those legends about disguise techniques may only be the tip of the iceberg.
As night deepened, Qi Yuxuan's gaze grew even more resolute. He was determined to uncover all the mysteries within the mansion and protect himself and those around him from threats.
As night deepened, a tense yet expectant atmosphere permeated every corner of the Qi residence.
Qi Yuxuan wanted to verify once again whether the maid named Xiaomei had really used disguise techniques. However, he thought that the fox would eventually show its tail.
