The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

Chapter 1800: Taught Only Once

Facing Mr. Chen’s face filled with guilt, Jian Shiqing hurriedly said, "Fu Jian has been plotting for years; how could ordinary people know what he wanted to do? My father’s remains... Forget it, it’s been so many years. Now that Fu Jian is dead, there’s no need to dwell on those remains."The butler said, "Yes, the great revenge has been taken. Once the Young Master’s identity is restored, we can build a cenotaph for the owner so his soul can have a place to rest!"

After a while, Jin Luoyin came out of the house and softly said to Jian Shiqing, "Jia Ren said he could have it done in an hour; he said you can start here."

Jian Shiqing nodded gently at him and then led the butler and Mr. Chen towards the center of the crowd.

Inside the house, though Jia Ren was elderly, he was extremely skilled, his movements flowing like water.

"Watch carefully; Master will only teach you this once."

Jin Xuyao touched his own face and said, "Mine is different from his; his is real human skin, mine is fake."

Jia Ren said, "So his will be more complex to remove. You only need to learn the first three steps."

Preparing the medicine, the quantity for each type is fixed.

No more, no less; otherwise, it would harm the original skin, or even cause poisoning.

The second step is to warm the medicine; the prepared medicine is heated, and similarly, it can’t be more or less.

Less wouldn’t melt the adhesive on the fake face, making it impossible to remove.

More would burn the original skin.

"Master? Why don’t you just prepare more and help me take it off?" Jin Xuyao suggested nervously, watching Jia Ren’s actions.

Jia Ren, however, chuckled and said, "I said before, I won’t help you take it off. If you have the ability, do it yourself."

"But you were the one who put it on me, I didn’t agree to this."

Jia Ren shrugged, then burst into laughter, leaving the other fuming with anger.

"Instead of arguing with me about choice or consent, you better watch closely. I’ve also said, I’ll only teach once."

Jin Xuyao: "..."

Jia Ren placed the medicine into an iron-like container, wrapped in a regular gauze, and lightly pressed it onto Fu Jian’s face.

As the solution cooled, he removed it, reheated it, and continued pressing until he saw the skin on Fu Jian’s face turning pale, then he stopped.

Jia Ren said to Jin Xuyao, "Yours is simpler. At this point, just gently peel off the fake face. His is more complicated; this human skin has fused with his face, and since he’s been dead for so long, this face is likely ruined as well."

As he spoke, he smiled bitterly and said, "That face of his was ruined to begin with, otherwise he wouldn’t have become my apprentice."

He shook his head and sighed, "Fu Jian was quite a smart child in his youth, but unfortunately, his ambitions were not in this craft. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have needed me to help change his face."

Jin Xuyao listened silently to the old man’s rambling, but his eyes were fixed on the movements of his hands.

This craft is actually very rare. He’s grown old and, according to the rules, wouldn’t take on another apprentice.

His other apprentice is already dead; Jin Xuyao is his only disciple. Teaching him well also ensures the craft isn’t lost.

Jin Xuyao said, "I will pass it on; you don’t have to worry."

Jia Ren was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily, tears streaming from his eyes as he laughed.

"Good, it won’t be lost, it won’t be lost!!"
