The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 313 Exchange of Identity
Tang Kuo Shanying always considered himself a smart man; he knew how to assess the situation and how to conceal his brilliance.

At the same time, he was an absolute Jin dynasty patron, proud of his noble lineage, looked down on commoners, and regarded Han Chinese as slaves.

But when his father died young, his father's second wife became the head of the household. For him, this was absolutely unacceptable, even a disgrace.

However, this woman's father was highly regarded in the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom, and she and the Empress were like sisters. Most importantly, she was very shrewd and led a branch of the Tang Kuo family to develop into a powerful local family.

Tang Kuo Shanying was only 8 years old at the time, but he knew that he absolutely could not go against this woman while he was still a minor.

So he cleverly became a dutiful son, spending a full 10 years cultivating an image of gentleness, respect for elders, and love for his clan. He even adopted a Han Chinese name and took her surname to please the woman.

Over the years, he has always identified himself as Wen Ruoming. No matter who he introduces himself to, he always emphasizes that he prefers this name, even though he inwardly loathes it.

As it turned out, he succeeded. He gained Wen Ru's trust and the support of many clansmen. Finally, after coming of age, he secretly took control of the clan's private army and imprisoned the woman. Now he is only one step away from becoming the head of the clan.

The closer he got to success, the more uncontrollable his excitement became. He couldn't wait to vent the resentment he had harbored for years in trying to please that woman.

He brought Wu Chengyu here, not because he thought Wen Ru would be attracted to this handsome young man. The idea of ​​them having an affair was impossible; he simply wanted to humiliate Wen Ru.

He then forcibly arranged for Wu Chengyu to marry this woman, stripping her of her status as the matriarch, and then naturally took full control of the Tangkuo family. He vowed that he would eventually destroy them using the most vicious means.

At the same time, he also hoped that the handsome young man would listen to him. What if the young man really did forcibly defile Wen Ru last night for money or to save his life? Let's see how this slut will have the face to pretend in front of him in the future.

So early this morning, Tang Kuo Shanying rushed over, hoping to find Wen Ru lying on the bed, her clothes disheveled, crying as soon as he opened the door.

But what he saw was Wen Ru sitting in the shadows as usual, while the spineless, handsome young man sat leisurely in his chair. Not only did he not bow when he came in, but he also dared to look him over with interest, a half-smile on his face.

When his hopes were dashed, Tang Kuo Shanying's anger surged to his head. He wanted to curse and draw his sword, wanting to teach the boy a lesson.

Unfortunately, Wu Chengyu's Canhe Finger technique was completely swift and precise, instantly freezing him in place with its force, silencing all his foul language.

With a creak, Wu Chengyu slowly walked to the door, bolted it, and then walked to Tangkuo Shanying's side, tilting his head and giving her the most sincere smile.

Wu Chengyu first carefully examined Tang Kuo Shanying's facial features. His eyebrows were a bit short, and since the disguise technique couldn't change his eyebrows, he had to trim them himself, which was really troublesome.

Other than his other facial features, there was nothing particularly special about him. Tang Kuo Shan Ying's appearance was at most considered delicate, not handsome. He was also young, so he had a slightly immature feel. However, his twisted mentality always gave him a hint of madness in his temperament.

Wu Chengyu then pried open Tangkuo Shanying's mouth, examining it like livestock. Fortunately, his teeth were quite even and white; after all, as a nobleman, he usually paid attention to his hygiene. If they were yellow, Wu Chengyu would have to make his own teeth yellow too. He then began to grope Tangkuo Shanying's body, measuring his shoulder width, arm span, and even his waist and thigh circumference.

This time is different from the last time he impersonated Heshi Lieliang. That time it was a one-off deal, but this time it will take some time, and we must be as consistent as possible.

Next, Wu Chengyu removed Tangkuo Shanying's clothes and began to examine the details, mainly looking for any special marks on his body. Apart from a small mole above his left elbow, he found nothing else.

At this point, Wu Chengyu had memorized every detail about Tang Kuo Shanying. He walked up to Tang Kuo Shanying, and the two locked eyes. Immediately afterward, Tang Kuo Shanying's pupils dilated, and his expression was filled with terror.

Wu Chengyu was half a head taller than him, but right in front of Tang Kuo Shanying, Wu Chengyu's height began to decrease little by little. Then, the length of his neck, the width of his shoulders, and so on were all subtly adjusted until the two figures were completely identical, just like 3D printing.

Next came the facial features. Tangkuo Shanying watched as the person in front of him began to change his facial features. In just a few breaths, the person's facial features became exactly the same as his own.

Not only that, Wu Chengyu also propped up his left arm, and a mole appeared slowly in the exact same spot as Tang Kuo Shanying's mole.

Tang Kuo Shanying was looking in a mirror. If he weren't still conscious, he would even doubt that he was dreaming. He couldn't see any difference between the person in front of him and himself.

He was a cunning man by nature, and at this moment he could easily figure out what Wu Chengyu was up to. But the more he thought about it, the more he understood what he was about to face.
After Wu Chengyu completed his transformation, he put on Tangkuo Shanying's clothes and then put his own clothes on Tangkuo Shanying, which were obviously not the right size.

But if a person dies a gruesome death, with torn clothes, and is a nobody, who cares why their clothes don't fit properly?

"Madam, the methods we're about to use will be quite ruthless. I need to ask our young master Shanying some questions. Do you have any secret rooms here?"

Wu Chengyu had already thoroughly explored the house with his 3D diagrams, but out of politeness, he still had to ask. He didn't want to explain to Wen Ru why he knew about the existence of the secret room.

When someone possesses many inexplicable abilities, even allies will become wary. In fact, when Wu Chengyu revealed his disguise skills, he noticed a slight change in Wen Ru's attitude towards him. It was subtle, but it was definitely there.

Since they had just met, Wen Ru's trust in Wu Chengyu was far less than that of Sister Niu and Yan Chunyu. Wu Chengyu understood and respected her changes, but only long-term cooperation in the future could truly eliminate the distance between them and build trust.

"There is a dark room behind that screen. It is very soundproof. Unless you are screaming your heart out, no one outside can hear you."

Wu Chengyu nodded, grabbed Tang Kuo Shanying and led him into the dark room. Then, he used the Life and Death Chain and the Xie Ting Seal, while simultaneously sealing his speech acupoint, forcing Tang Kuo Shanying to endure the pain silently.

Tang Kuo Shanying, a cunning man, often lacked strong willpower. He was also young and had not experienced much hardship. So, it didn't take long for Tang Kuo Shanying to reveal everything that Wu Chengyu knew, and in the end, he begged Wu Chengyu to kill him.
