Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 583 - 195 Xiao Li: Dare to Overstep This Palace Once?

Under the full moon, at the edge of a solitary cliff on Mo Mountain.

Two figures stood alone.

"Your Highness, are you confused?"

"This journey is so perilous, yet you actually impersonated Xiao Ying to come here?"

...

"Mr. Tian, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

...

"You see? You even used the wrong form of address. Xiao Ying always calls me 'Master,' never 'Mr. Tian.' Did you really think I wouldn't notice?"

"..."

"Master..." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Your Highness, please hold your tongue! Do not demean yourself!"

"..."

Ahead, a man in a black cloak and bamboo hat stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the moon above.

His features were ordinary, but his eyes were filled with resignation.

The dust on his body added a touch of the night's frost.

The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes lent him an air of indescribable fatigue.

Behind him, a woman in similar black attire frowned, about to speak.

"That... I really am Xiao Ying."

Hearing this, the man in front turned and stared at the woman's lower back.

His gaze was as sharp and cold as a knife.

The woman instinctively stepped back a few paces. "Mr. Tian, why are you looking at me like that?"

"You were accidentally injured during the battle just now," the man said softly. "When I was dressing your wounds, I noticed a mark on your lower back."

"..."

"Xiao Ying doesn't have this mark."

The woman was startled. She had indeed been accidentally injured during the recent battle.

"Also, I taught you your Martial Arts myself." The man closed his eyes and sighed. "You never used those techniques before, so I indeed couldn't recognize you. However, I had my suspicions; I just couldn't confirm them."

"After all, you and Xiao Ying are very similar, especially after so much training..."

"However, during the battle just now, you executed the Ten-step Sword Technique. The final move, 'Ten Steps Star Stabbing,' turned into the 'Thousand Flutes Reflecting Spring' from the Flute Swordsmanship I taught you. Did Your Highness think I wouldn't notice in that melee?"

"..."

The woman was silent for a moment.

"Mr. Tian, how do you know that Xiao Ying doesn't have a mark on her lower back?" she asked.

"I saved her, and I taught her. Naturally, I know everything," the man stated indifferently.

"So, Mr. Tian..." the woman paused, "does that mean you've seen all of Xiao Ying? Even her body?"

"..." the man.

"Your Highness, that's beside the point."

The woman snorted coldly and turned away.

"Mr. Tian is indeed meticulous with his disciples. He even examined their bodies thoroughly."

"The Watchers make no distinction between men and women," the man said. "Martial artists must verify their Root Bone to ensure there are no defects. Besides, Your Highness, please do not change the subject."

"I am not Your Highness. I am Xiao Ying," the woman said.

The man frowned and waved his hand.

"Very well. Since that's the case, we'll have to change the plan."

Upon hearing this, the woman turned back around.

"Mr. Tian, what's the plan now? The mission has been mostly successful; we just need to leave safely."

"It's not that simple." The man shook his head. "The Barbarian army will undoubtedly launch a frenzied counterattack. Across this vast West Desert Grassland, there's almost nowhere to hide, and they're sure to blockade the Heavenly Mountain area."

"The original plan was to disguise ourselves as Barbarian soldiers and slip away quietly."

"However, that's extremely dangerous. If we're discovered, it means certain death."

The woman's eyes lit up. "Mr. Tian, you didn't tell me the entire plan. That seems to have been a good decision, doesn't it? I actually thought you were planning to sacrifice yourself."

"This plan isn't bad."

"You Watchers are experts at assassination and disguise. With your guidance, Mr. Tian, if we pose as Barbarian soldiers on our way back, we can completely fool them and escape successfully!"

"That way, we can also keep losses to a minimum!"

"Yes," the man said, shaking his head helplessly again.

"Why are you shaking your head, sir? Is there a problem?" the woman asked.

"If Your Highness hadn't come, this would undoubtedly be the best option," the man said. "Every Watcher is an expert in assassination and disguise. I've taught them all sorts of Barbarian customs and even their common habits, so their disguises would be flawless."

"But can you manage it, Your Highness?"

The woman was stunned.

"If you were Xiao Ying, there would be no issue," the man said. "But you are Your Highness. Even if I disguised you as a Barbarian, you couldn't possibly learn their crude habits and vulgar language in such a short time."

"The moment you try to pass as one of them within the Barbarian army, you'll be exposed!"

"At that time, your situation will be extremely dangerous..."

"..."

"..."

"I... I..."

The woman said calmly, "How do you know I can't learn it?"

"Then try saying 'Aiji Qingao.'"

"Ai... Ji Qing... Aoheng?" the woman repeated, then asked, "What... what does that mean?"

"It means 'fuck your mother.'"

The woman's eyes widened instantly. She turned to the side, her face slightly flushed with shame and anger, and exclaimed, "What vulgar language is this?!"

"Barbarian soldiers use such phrases all the time. You see? You can't even pronounce it smoothly."

"...I..."

The man said earnestly, "Your Highness, you are of noble birth; you cannot bring yourself to utter such things... Even if you learned the words, you wouldn't say them naturally. And that's merely the language. Some of the Barbarian soldiers' habits would be even more demeaning to your esteemed status."

"All in all... You really shouldn't have pretended to be Xiao Ying and come here..."

"Then just treat me as Xiao Ying."

"I can treat you as Xiao Ying. The Barbarian soldiers, however, will not."
