The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

"In that case, I won’t insist anymore!"

The words of Sect Leader Lei made sense, and Qin Hao understood, having no choice but to accept his fate.

"Boss... I’m sorry..." Wang Tu lowered his head in deep guilt.

"It’s alright." Qin Hao waved his hand casually, turned, and walked away: "I’ll go ask someone else."

When he was halfway there, Sect Leader Lei’s voice came from behind: "Qin Hao, others’ situations are similar to mine. Their teachers won’t allow their disciples to associate with you; you’d better understand this point."

"I still want to give it a try!"

With a determined attitude, Qin Hao left the Thunder God Palace.

Then, he went around each peak within the Inner Sect looking for his former subordinates.

As Sect Leader Lei expected, Qin Hao met the remaining subordinates, but their masters also stepped in to stop them, not allowing the disciples to associate with Qin Hao.

Not wanting to trouble his subordinates, Qin Hao had no choice but to leave with a heavy heart.

Walking on the mountain path, Qin Hao couldn’t help feeling a bit agitated.

Counting, out of the seven people, six had already been approached, but all in vain.

Now there’s only Liu Qing, who is practicing under Kong Denghui, left. Qin Hao wanted to find him, but recalling the previous rejections, he suddenly lost confidence.

He could only sigh and head to the Task Hall.

Looking back now, Cloud and the Punishment Hall Elder also forbade their disciples from following him, probably thinking the same as Sect Leader Lei.

They just didn’t reveal it, rejecting him more tactfully.

Qin Hao never expected that one day he would face rejection, and it felt quite disheartening.

However, with strong self-adjustment ability, Qin Hao quickly suppressed his restless emotions.

Passing by the Artifact Refining Hall, Qin Hao stopped.

According to the high-level members, he had already become the public enemy among the disciples. If his identity were revealed during this mission, wouldn’t it easily backfire?

Of course, wearing a conical hat could temporarily conceal his identity.

But who knows if something might suddenly go wrong?

Moreover, in this situation, a person wearing a conical hat would look suspicious, right?

Recalling carefully, his identity as the Conical Hat Man had already made a splash in the Gale Prison.

Although Ji Yue’Er should not disclose it, who knows if this girl might suddenly become treacherous, like issuing a wanted order for the Conical Hat Man?

Thinking it over, Qin Hao felt that wearing a conical hat might not necessarily avoid trouble, so he chose to go to the Artifact Refining Hall to buy a good Personality Mask.

Entering the hall of the Artifact Refining Hall, Qin Hao saw many murals displayed on the walls.

At first glance, these murals were very ordinary, but upon closer inspection, it became apparent that these murals were indeed restrictive, combining to form a large formation with both defense and attack.

With the formation in place, anyone attempting to cause trouble in the Artifact Refining Hall would suffer.

Qin Hao didn’t come to cause trouble; he quickly found a junior sister in the reception hall and asked: "Junior sister, may I ask where I can buy a Personality Mask here?"

"Personality Mask?" Upon hearing this, the junior sister became suspicious. Generally, those wanting to buy a Personality Mask are certainly people who can’t show their face.

Seeing Qin Hao’s conical hat attire, she immediately understood.

The senior brother in front of her must be an enemy to many.

However, due to professional ethics, she didn’t say much and smiled slightly: "Please follow me."

She then led Qin Hao to a small chamber.

Surprisingly, glass cabinets were placed all around the chamber.

Inside the cabinets were many masks, both male and female, both old and young, truly bizarre!

In the secular Jianghu, Personality Masks were already made quite lifelike.

But in this Huashan Sect’s Artifact Refining Hall, each Personality Mask was even more magical than those outside.

Qin Hao examined several masks, scrutinizing them for a long time, only to find, to his amazement, that he couldn’t tell them apart!

If someone unaware saw them, they’d think these masks were peeled off from real faces!

But Qin Hao knew this was merely an artifact refiner’s handiwork through their superb craftsmanship.

"Remarkable, could easily pass for real!" Qin Hao couldn’t help but praise.

"Indeed, making Personality Masks is our artifact refiner’s introductory course. If you can’t even master this, the Elder won’t acknowledge you."

The female disciple spoke with great pride.

Qin Hao suddenly recalled that one of his subordinates was also studying in the Artifact Refining Hall, and he couldn’t help but laugh.

Soon, he asked: "So how much does one mask cost here?"

"Standard price. Five thousand task points each."

The female disciple said bluntly.

"Five thousand?" Qin Hao was a bit surprised. Five thousand is not trivial, even for an Inner Sect Disciple. Ordinary tasks only earn a few hundred task points, while more challenging ones only earn a few thousand. Tasks worth over ten thousand task points are extremely difficult, almost impossible to accomplish alone, usually requiring a team effort.

So a Personality Mask of this price is exceedingly expensive, requiring a disciple to complete several extremely difficult tasks to afford one.

"It seems a bit pricey. But these masks are equivalent to a second life for the user. Buying a life for five thousand is well worth it!"

The female disciple smiled and said.

Qin Hao nodded: "Five thousand it is. I’ll take this one!"

He pointed at a pockmarked mask.

The female disciple was stunned: "Senior brother, are you sure you want this one?"

Judging from Qin Hao’s posture, even with the conical hat, he appeared quite dashing, not too ugly at least, right?

And the mask he chose looked like it belonged to someone in their thirties, pockmarked, with small eyes, a flat nose, looking ugly and peculiar, even revolting.

"Junior sister, I’ve decided on this one!" Qin Hao chuckled: "Who would think that beneath an extremely ugly mask lies such a handsome me?"

These vain words left the female disciple speechless.

In her mind, she labeled Qin Hao as a "narcissist" without further argument. She used a key to open the cabinet, taking out the ugly mask.

"Here." Qin Hao straightforwardly took out his Identity Token.

"Please allow me a moment to transfer the task points."

The female disciple took the Identity Token and entered a room inside.

A moment later, she came out holding the token, and also carrying a gift box, her expression becoming more respectful: "Senior brother, it’s done."

There are many talents within the Inner Sect, but you don’t often see someone who can casually produce five thousand task points unless they’re either from a wealthy family or an exceptional prodigy, an indisputable fact.

Therefore, upon realizing Qin Hao was quite a wealthy person, the female disciple showed considerable interest.

"Thank you."

Qin Hao stored the token into his Void Storage Ring, tearing open the gift box and discarding it in the trash bin. He picked up the Personality Mask, lifted a corner of his conical hat, and pressed it onto his face.
