At five o'clock in the afternoon,
Lin Yu stood in the lobby holding a DSLR camera, a tripod bag, and a folded reflector bag, waiting for the Chi sisters.
The three of them had just created a small WeChat group specifically for discussing their assignment.
The chosen shooting location was quite casual—simply random spots around the neighborhood.
After the rain, the outdoors offered many scenes with excellent artistic atmosphere.
While waiting, Lin Yu had already started planning the composition for the photo series.
After a while,
footsteps echoed from the hallway.
"Finally done changing, ladies?"
"I thought you were going to—"
Lin Yu rose from the couch, but his words trailed off as he froze in place.
The Chi sisters were wearing identical white chiffon dresses and matching white sneakers.
Even their hairstyles and makeup were exactly the same!
The only distinguishing features were their outerwear—one blue, one pink.
Lin Yu: "!!!"
He had been too naive!
Without relying on the system, there was absolutely no way to tell the twins apart by sight alone.
A few days ago,
he could still rely on their hair color for an easy distinction.
Chi Qingshui had black hair, while Chi Qingchi’s was chestnut brown.
But today at the comic convention, Lin Yu had noticed
that Qingchi had dyed her hair black as well.
He had casually asked why she’d changed it, since the previous color suited her.
Qingchi’s answer?
"Black is the ultimate vibe!"
Lin Yu had been speechless.
If black was the "ultimate vibe," why had she dyed it some random color before?
Now, as the twins approached with identical shoulder-length hair, it almost seemed like they were deliberately testing him.
Lin Yu rubbed his eyes but didn’t immediately pull up the system info panel.
Instead, he studied their expressions.
The one in blue had a slight upward quirk of her lips, while the one in pink wore a more neutral expression.
Blue radiated a clever energy, while Pink exuded an air of pride.
Ohhh…
So that’s how it was.
Most people, seeing blue and pink and knowing the sisters’ personalities,
would instinctively assume the calm blue was the older sister and the lively pink the younger.
So,
the twins had done the opposite—Qingshui wore pink, Qingchi wore blue—
hoping to trip Lin Yu up and laugh at his mistake.
When they reached him, both stood with their hands clasped behind their backs, watching him expectantly without saying a word.
Lin Yu grinned.
"Trying to make me guess who’s who?"
"You two are really—"
"!!!"
Mid-sentence,
his mind suddenly jolted.
No, something still wasn’t right…
The scent was off.
Lin Yu’s sense of smell wasn’t as absurdly sharp as Gou Ge’s,
but after enhancements, it was far keener than an average person’s.
Qingshui, with whom he’d been intimate, carried a faint jasmine-like fragrance—
or rather, the scent of ink? A scholarly aura?
This was a distinct trait Qingchi didn’t have.
Maybe Qingchi had her own unique scent when undressed,
but Lin Yu hadn’t experienced that yet.
And this particular "bookish" scent… came from the one in blue.
These twins… what a close call!
Their micro-expressions had been deliberately exaggerated to throw him off.
Not daring to take chances, Lin Yu immediately pulled up their system info panels to confirm his suspicions.

Lin Yu: "!!!"
Just as I thought.
I almost fell for the sisters’ coordinated act.
Luckily, I’m attuned enough to Big Chi’s scent to tell them apart.
Now that I’ve identified them, the sisters don’t seem so indistinguishable after all.
On Big Chi’s gauzy dress collar, isn’t there still a faint "mosquito bite" mark?
This oversight was downright careless!
If I’d failed to tell them apart,
Big Chi—already my body cultivation Dao companion—would’ve been heartbroken.
Lin Yu hefted his camera bag and stepped closer to Blue Chi, saying:
"You really think you can hide from me?"
"Did you actually believe I wouldn’t recognize you, Chi Qingshui…?"
"Later, you’ll test-shoot a few shots. This camera’s brand new—no portraits taken yet."
"Today, you and Little Chi will be the first and second leading ladies in my lens!"
[Ding!]
[Masterful Move! The Holy Son’s sharp eyes discern his Dao companion, filling the Head Librarian’s heart with sweetness!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
[Ding!]
[Masterful Move! Seeing through the Joyous Sect Bell Envoy’s disguise with a single glance, earning her awestruck admiration!]
[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]
Chi Qingshui: "!!!"
Chi Qingchi: "!!!"
Lin Yu’s confident unmasking left the sisters stunned.
Pink-clad Little Chi immediately broke character, pressing him:
"How’d you tell us apart? Lin Yu, don’t tell me you just guessed from the clothes?"
"I thought you’d pay closer attention. Guess I overestimated you~"
Anyone could’ve guessed—
this prank had Little Chi written all over it.
Big Chi probably went along just to see if Lin Yu could spot her at a glance.
Thankfully,
Lin Yu didn’t embarrass himself.
Hearing Little Chi’s pouty complaint, Lin Yu crossed his arms and smirked:
"Your micro-expressions gave you away. At first glance, they did throw me off."
"But once I got closer…"
"I would never mistake the two of you!"
With those words spoken,
even Chi Qingshui couldn't help but ask with curiosity and anticipation:
"Is there really any other difference between us?"
"Lin Yu... how exactly did you recognize us?"
...

He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day!
