1002 Scar 2 (1/2)
”Big brother, your voice is so deep and rich, is that really your real voice?” The younger twin sister asked.
Dyon's eyes flashed with realization. 'They probably wanted to make sure I had fallen into their spell before they made inquiries about me. It obviously wasn't everyday that a core disciple came here, but they want to be clear on my identity before they try to rope me in completely.'
”Of course this is my real voice, how could I dare to fool you two beautiful sisters? I would be angering the heavens if I did something like that.”
Hearing Dyon's response, the two sisters smiled sweetly.
Dyon Perception didn't catch any suspicion in their eyes, but Dyon was obviously lying. He had changed both his inflections and the tone of his voice. With his attainments in body cultivation, doing something like that was as easy as flipping over his hand.
The elder twin sister pouted. ”But you're hiding your face from us two sisters. Can't you show us your handsome face?”
Dyon sighed, shaking his head. ”I'm afraid that my appearance isn't so good. Normally, when I have to appear in public without my mask on I use a few disguising techniques to hide my terrible birth mark, but it's much easier to just cover it with a mask.
”I actually came here today to try to get over this heart devil of mine. It's much too shameful for a martial warrior like me to be so caught up in what he looks like. I wanted to learn from our esteemed ancestors so I could cleanse this shadow over my heart so my future cultivation would be smoother.”
A slight look of pity crossed the eyes of the twin sisters that surprised Dyon. This was the first genuine emotion he had seen from these two sisters and it further proved that he believed what he had said.
Dyon had come up with this story randomly, but it still perfectly explained a lot of things from the reason for his mask to the reason for his appearance here.
”We all have stories like this,” The younger sister said softly, grabbing Dyon's large hand between her two delicate ones. ”For one reason or another, we need the core teachings of The Cathedral to show us the light. Come, we two sisters will show you some more. When you're ready to take off your mask, we'll be here for you.”
At this moment, the bewitching techniques of the two sisters faltered slightly. It was only for a fraction of a second, a time frame that a normal cultivator would have missed completely, but it was more than long enough for Dyon to see what he needed to see to understand the plight of these two sisters.
When Dyon caught a glimpse of their hands, he realized that the scar was worse than he thought. It didn't just stretch down an entire half of their face, it was an entire half of their bodies!
Just as quickly as the glimpse of reality came, was just as quickly as it disappeared, allowing the peak beauty of these two tragic sisters to come back.
