If they were walking on the street, he absolutely wouldn't recognize that this was Feng Jin, completely as if a different person.
"Superficial... extremely superficial!"
Feng Jin glared at Ling Mo Han: "What do you know about disguise? If you're disguising yourself, you must disguise yourself into someone recognizable. If even you yourself can't recognize yourself, then that's successful disguise."
If people could recognize them at first glance, it would be a wasted effort, and what's the point of disguising themselves?
"But you don't have to make yourself look like this." Ling Mo Han still couldn't bear to look at Feng Jin's appearance, mainly because the contrast with her true face was too great, and he found it difficult to accept for a moment.
"Judging people by their appearance is truly superficial."
How come he never noticed Ling Mo Han was someone who only looked at outward appearances before? Truly superficial.
"Alright, let's not dwell on these matters. We have to leave quickly."
If they dithered any longer and delayed, lives would genuinely be at stake.
After Feng Jin's disguise, they easily left the post station without arousing any suspicion.
Even the spies specially arranged by Granny Sun only took them for ordinary servants, showing no suspicion whatsoever.
After leaving the post station, Lu Shi brought out the carriage that had been prepared earlier, and the three of them headed towards the place where Cui'er and the others were settled.
"Young Madam, this manor is remote and has been abandoned for a long time. No one will know this place. I have temporarily settled Cui'er and the other two here."
The manor was indeed very remote, located behind a large mountain forest. It was dilapidated and in disrepair, clearly a manor abandoned for a long time.
"Who's there!"
As they neared the manor, a sharp shout suddenly stopped the carriage.
Lu Shi, who was driving the carriage outside, directly tore off the human skin mask from his face, revealing his true appearance: "Young General and Madam are here, quickly open the gate."
"Yes!"
The soldiers blocking the way, upon recognizing Lu Shi, quickly made way for the carriage to pass.
After the carriage stopped steadily, Ling Mo Han and Feng Jin, both in disguise, emerged from the carriage.
The soldiers nearby were all astonished upon seeing them, their mouths agape, looking at the two in surprise.
"Where are the people now?" Ling Mo Han asked coldly.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, the soldier confirmed that the stranger before him was indeed Ling Mo Han and quickly replied, "Reporting to Young General, they are in the rear room. I will take you there."
Inside the room, Cui'er and the other two, who were in a state of suspended animation, lay on the bed as still as the walking dead, with no sign of life.
Feng Jin quickly stepped forward, took out an antidote from her embrace, and fed it to the three of them, then stimulated acupoints with silver needles.
"Cough... cough..." Cui'er suddenly coughed, breathing in large gulps of air, and the suffocating feeling in her chest eased considerably.
Yan'er and Liu Li, who had also taken the suspended animation drug, woke up. Due to the brief period of suspended animation, they were weak all over, even their breathing was feeble.
"In a state of suspended animation, the body's organs temporarily go into a dormant state. When waking up, it's inevitable to feel extremely uncomfortable. You'll feel better after resting for a while."
Cui'er looked at the somewhat ugly middle-aged woman before her, but the voice was extremely pleasant and familiar. She asked uncertainly, "Madam... Madam?"
"What is it?" Feng Jin replied and asked.
"Madam, it's really you! How did you become like this?" Cui'er asked in surprise. How could she have changed so much in such a short time, like a completely different person?
"It's a disguise technique. I've changed my appearance and figure for convenience when going out," Feng Jin explained, then continued to inquire, "Are you feeling better now?"
"Much better."
When she first woke up, her whole body felt as if it had been crushed and reassembled. Even breathing was painful.
When she took the suspended animation drug, she felt like she had died. Now, waking up again was like being reborn. From today onwards, her life would begin anew.
"Granny Sun personally watched the cremation of your three bodies and confirmed that you three are dead. From now on, find a place, change your names, and live a normal life."
"Thank you, Madam."
Cui'er and the other two hurried to rise and kowtowed heavily to Feng Jin three times.
Such a grand gesture made Feng Jin flustered: "What are you doing? Get up quickly."
Forcing her to accept three kowtows, wouldn't this affect her future good fortune?
If it really had an impact, she would have suffered a great loss.
"Madam has shown us immense kindness, a favor greater than life itself. I fear I can never repay this great debt in this life. If there is a next life, I wish to be your ox or horse, at your service."
In this life, she had no chance to repay Feng Jin's kindness, and could only hope for the next.
"As long as you live well, that will be repayment enough for me."
Feng Jin couldn't stand this kind of talk about repaying favors at every turn. She reached out and helped Cui'er up: "Live well, and don't let my efforts in saving you go to waste."
Having said that, Feng Jin took a bundle and handed it to Cui'er: "There are a few sets of clothes and some silver in here, enough for the three of you to live on for a while. But how your future unfolds depends on your own choices."
"Someone will take you to a town in the countryside later. I have already bought you a house there where you can stay for now."
"Thank you, Madam." The three said in unison.
"It's getting late, you should go."
Yan'er and Liu Li exchanged glances, not expecting Feng Jin to let them go so easily, and even preparing a place for them to stay. This was something they had never anticipated.
"Come with me," Lu Shi said, stepping forward to lead them away.
When they reached the doorway, Cui'er stopped and turned back to look at Feng Jin: "Madam, there are some things I wish to tell you alone."
Suddenly being singled out, Feng Jin didn't react immediately. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded in agreement: "You all go out for a bit."
After everyone else had left, Feng Jin looked at Cui'er: "Everyone is gone, what is it you want to tell me?"
After a moment of silence, Cui'er slowly raised her head. Her bright eyes were filled with determination. She suddenly knelt before Feng Jin.
"Speak properly, don't kneel down at the drop of a hat!"
She was going mad from the custom of kneeling down at every turn in ancient times. Didn't they know that their knees were made of gold? They should kneel to heaven, earth, and their parents, why kneel to everyone they met?
"Madam, please let me kneel and speak. It will make me feel better."
Seeing her firm resolve, Feng Jin couldn't insist further: "Then speak."
"Madam, I lied to you when I said I didn't know who else was a spy. I was afraid that if you knew our identities, you would kill me."
