Countenance Altering

In front of her was a shop called Suiji Pinmu Dian, the same one she went to before lunch. She walked in with the very same appearance. Searching through the bookshelf on the left, she found it. Such a precious book, why would it be here?

Zhu Xiao Wan brought the book to the shopkeeper, "How much will this be?"

When the shopkeeper saw Zhu Xiao Wan, he studied her appearance and said, "800 gold coins."

It was a cheap price for the Countenance Altering book but Zhu Xiao Wan startled and anxiously said, "800 gold coins? Why so expensive, it just a book of drawings for children..."

He narrowed his eyes slightly and change the price, "500 gold coins..."

Zhu Xiao Wan's face became dejected, she looked so pitiful and said with a hint of sob, "But I only have 300 gold coins. Mister Shopkeeper, can you lower it just another 200?"

"Lower another 200 gold coins...Fine," the shopkeeper said awkwardly, "Just don't ruin my business by crying here!"

Zhu Xiao Wan smiled brightly, "Thank you, Mister Shopkeeper!"

Then she left the shop. Zhu Xiao Wan walked calmly back to the Ning Wang Manor, on her face was a peculiar smile. Behind her, a black shadow tailed her all the way to the manor before he left. Vaguely rotated her head, she glanced at the black-robed man's retreating back from the corners of her eyes and move her gaze away almost immediately. For a cultivator, he would be able to sense her gaze if she looked too long. He had hidden himself well, but for her, even without having her power awaken, she could feel the presence of people that were watching her. As for why he was tailing her, it should be the Countenance Altering book that caused it.

Entered the Ning Wang Manor, Zhu Xiao Wan encountered Zhu Xiao Qian and Ning Su Cai.

"Wan Wan, you're back?" Zhu Xiao Qian's face was gentle, "Where did you go?"

Zhu Xiao Wan answered, "I followed Elder Cousins around the capital. After they left, I just wandered into some shops."

Ning Su Cai was eighteen this year, he looked like a younger version of his father and was handsome, he was a caution person. She looked towards Ning Su Cai and asked, "Eldest Cousin Brother, on what date will we go to Princess You Yan's Manor?"

He said, "It will be the day after tomorrow."

"If Eldest Cousin Brother and Big Brother going to train, then I will not disturb you guys." With that, she left for her room.

Zhu Xiao Wan closed the door behind her, she sat on her bed with her back straight. Opened the Countenance Altering, she looked through to find the contents.

Face Altering then Eyes Changing in Colours and Hair Changing in Colours.

Reading the first few pages, she saw a disappointing sentence, 'One can learn Countenance Altering once their contractual spirit is awakened.' She still has a year left until hers would be awakened. Guessed like she could only build a business right now. A garments shop would be good.

Inside a spacious room, a man stood by the window to admire the moon. His face was marvelous, beautiful and handsome enough to cause waves of women to fall head over heels in love with him.

A black shadow suddenly appeared, "Master, it had been bought by a young miss with silver hair from Ning Wang Manor."

"Ning Wang Manor," the man muttered with his brows slightly raised, "...People from Ning Wang Manor will attend that plaster saint's banquet. Since it's like that, I should show up to ask about that silver hair young miss."
