I want to go back to my original world and live an ordinary life.

Seeing that Qiu Shuang and Xiao Nan didn't say anything more, Qiu Yan smiled, and then said to Qiu Shuang and Xiao Nan, "Don't worry, I will participate in this challenge alone. You just stay here and practice well. If anything happens, it won't affect you."

Hearing Qiu Yan say this, Qiu Shuang immediately continued, "Master, as your servant, I should always be by your side. No matter how dangerous it is, I will not leave you. As for Xiao Nan, I also think it is better to let her stay."

After hearing what Qiu Shuang said, Xiao Nan on the side immediately became unhappy and said to Qiu Shuang, "Sister Qiu Shuang, although you may be my sister-in-law in the future, I can't listen to you on this matter. I was brought up by my brother, and I will follow him wherever he goes, even if it means going through fire and water. As a sister, I will not back down."

Hearing what Qiu Shuang and Xiao Nan said, Qiu Yan chuckled and said, "You two don't need to argue anymore. This matter is settled. I will not take you two to take risks. Before this matter is over, you can only stay in this small courtyard to practice."

Qiu Yan's voice was not loud, but his tone was firm, with an irrefutable momentum. However, although Qiu Yan's tone was firm, Qiu Shuang still said to Qiu Yan, "Master, you don't know much about the Holy Sword Kingdom. If you go out alone, you will definitely encounter some problems. If I am here, I can help you with this idea, right?"

"Yeah! It's so worrying when you go out alone!" Xiaonan immediately echoed.

"Okay, you two don't need to say anything more, this is settled." Qiu Yan let out a long sigh, and then continued, "This matter is very risky, I can't let you accompany me to take risks. Moreover, if it's just me, I can get away even if I encounter any situation, but if I take you two with me..."

Qiuyan stopped talking here, and did not say the rest of the words. However, although he did not say it, Qiushuang and Xiaonan could understand that Qiuyan meant that the two of them were too weak, and when they encountered problems, they could not only not help him, but would also hinder him. Although these words were a bit hurtful, they were also the truth, so after hearing what Qiuyan said, Qiushuang and Xiaonan both lowered their heads silently, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that the two were silent, Qiu Yan thought that maybe what he said just now was a bit too much, so he continued, "What I said just now may not sound good, but I hope you can understand that I did this for your own good. I don't want you to be hurt because of me."

Hearing Qiuyan say this, Qiu Shuang and Xiaonan both raised their heads. Then Qiu Shuang looked at Qiuyan and said, "Master, we know that you are worried about us, but you also know that this matter is very risky. If you are not absolutely sure that you can get away with it after the truth is revealed, we really hope that you don't take the risk." Qiu Shuang did not mention going with Qiuyan anymore, nor did she try to stop Qiuyan. Instead, she wanted Qiuyan to give up on his own.

After hearing Qiu Shuang's words, Qiu Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry! If I'm not absolutely sure, I won't take this risk." After that, in order to reassure Qiu Shuang and Xiao Nan, Qiu Yan took out the jade pendant given to him by the Lord of the West from the space jade, and then continued, "When I came out to train, my master's friend, the Lord of the West, gave me this jade pendant. He said that if I crushed the jade pendant when I was in danger, he would come to help me. So, if I really encounter something, the worst that can happen is that I will crush this jade pendant."

"Lord of the West!" Xiaonan and Qiu Shuang could not help but be shocked when they heard these four words. Although they were human, they had heard of the name of Lord of the West. Lord of the West was the lord of the beastmen in the West Mountains. His status was higher than that of the emperor of the Holy Sword Kingdom. Moreover, according to rumors, the strength of Lord of the West was close to the level of Holy Spirit Master, and he could be regarded as the most powerful person in the True Spirit Continent.

"Master, your master's friend is actually the Lord of the West. Then your master himself must be an extraordinary person as well, right?" Qiu Shuang looked at Qiu Yan with some surprise and asked.

"I only know that my master is a ninth-rank great spiritual master, but I really didn't know that he was some extraordinary big shot." Qiu Yan said lightly. Although he didn't want others to know that his master was a ninth-rank great spiritual master, Qiu Shuang was not an outsider now. What's more, Xiao Nan already knew about his master. Even if he didn't say it, Xiao Nan would probably tell it. So thinking of this, Qiu Yan felt that there was nothing to hide from Qiu Shuang.

Hearing that Master Qiu Yan was a ninth-rank great spiritual master, Qiu Shuang no longer showed a surprised expression. After all, anyone who could be friends with the Lord of the West must be strong. So, after hearing Qiu Yan's words, Qiu Shuang just felt the gap between people again. Then she was no longer worried about Qiu Yan going out. She smiled and said to Qiu Yan, "The master is indeed extraordinary. It seems that my previous worries were unnecessary."

At this point, Qiu Shuang suddenly thought of a question, and then asked Qiu Yan, "Master, since your master is a ninth-level great spiritual master, and you have the jade pendant given by the Lord of the West, why don't you let your master or the Lord of the West come forward to help you solve this matter directly? Wouldn't things become simpler in this way?"

After hearing Qiu Shuang's words, Qiu Yan showed a trace of helplessness on his face. He sighed and said to Qiu Shuang, "My master is in seclusion now, and I can't find him at all. It is precisely because of this that my master asked the Lord of the West to take care of me before he went into seclusion. However, the Lord of the West has no direct relationship with me after all, and the Lord of the West is a member of the Beast Clan after all. Although he does take good care of me, I really don't want to trouble him unless it is absolutely necessary."

Qiu Shuang understood what Qiu Yan meant. The hardest thing to repay in this world is favors, so most people don't want to owe favors to others. So, after listening to Qiu Yan's words, Qiu Shuang nodded silently and didn't say anything more. Qiu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "Okay, it's basically settled. Now help me think about how I should disguise myself? Should I wear a mask or put on makeup?"

Qiu Shuang no longer opposed Qiu Yan's decision to go out and participate in the training competition on her own, so after hearing Qiu Yan ask this, Qiu Shuang began to help Qiu Yan think of a solution.

Although Qiu Yan said that wearing a mask and makeup is also a way of disguise, wearing a mask is too conspicuous and is not suitable for disguise in this case. If it is makeup, it requires very sophisticated makeup skills, otherwise it will be easily seen by others. Therefore, Qiu Yan does not have the conditions for makeup disguise. Since masks and makeup are not feasible, Qiu Shuang thinks that he can only wear a human skin mask. First of all, you don’t have to worry about the human skin mask after wearing it on your face. Moreover, the disguise of the human skin mask is also difficult to be discovered. Unless the human skin mask is torn off or destroyed, it cannot be discovered at all.

Thinking of this, Qiu Shuang nodded secretly, and then said to Qiu Yan, "Master, the two methods you mentioned are not very suitable. If you want to disguise, the human skin mask is the best."

"Human skin mask?" Qiu Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard Qiu Shuang mention human skin mask. Qiu Yan was not unfamiliar with human skin mask, because he often heard this term in TV dramas before, but Qiu Yan was surprised that human skin mask existed in this world. Human skin mask is mainly used for camouflage, and it is difficult to be discovered. After thinking of this, Qiu Yan nodded silently, and then said to Qiu Shuang, "If there is a human skin mask, it is indeed good, but this human skin mask should not be easy to buy, right?"

Hearing Qiu Yan's question, Qiu Shuang smiled and said, "Master, although human skin masks are not easy to buy, they can be bought. As long as the master agrees, just leave this matter to me."

"Well! Okay! Then I'll leave it to you!" Qiu Yan thought about it and then replied readily.

After listening to Qiu Yan's words, Qiu Shuang nodded, then looked at Qiu Yan a little embarrassedly and said, "But master, the price of human skin masks is very high. A bad one costs tens of thousands of gold coins. I don't have that many gold coins here. You see..."

Qiuyan understood Qiu Shuang's words immediately. To put it bluntly, it was about money, and Qiuyan never took money seriously. So after listening to Qiu Shuang's words, Qiuyan didn't waste any words and directly took out a large box of gold coins from the space jade and said, "I don't want bad ones, I want the best!"

This was not the first time Qiu Shuang had seen Qiu Yan being so cool, so when Qiu Yan said this, Qiu Shuang did not think much about it. She smiled and said, "Master, rest assured, I will definitely help you with the matter!"

After saying that, Qiu Shuang took the gold coins without hesitation. After taking the gold coins, Qiu Shuang looked at the badge in Qiu Yan's hand again, and then said to Qiu Yan, "By the way, Master, can you show me the badge in your hand? Since you want to use this badge to participate in the competition, I will prepare a human skin mask according to the identity information in your badge. This way it will be more realistic."
