Long Jing?

The Master of Trickery doesn't have that much strength, nor can he use his hands and feet as freely as if nothing happened after they've been severed.

Just because Master of Trickery can't do it doesn't mean others can't.

These moves are, at least, incredibly simple for an Acrobat.

That's right, the person lying flat on the ground wasn't Su Yida, but Long Jing!

Long Jing sometimes felt that the world was too malicious towards him, especially when he met Cheng Shi and Zhen Xin.

At first, he didn't know who he would encounter in this Trials. He only saw that it was the Trials of the God of Merriment, and the topic involved "the Finale Performance," so he felt that his chance had come.

He must shine in this Trials, find all the clues and solve all the mysteries before all his teammates, and step onto the final Stage to their astonishment, giving them a magnificent Finale Performance!

The most amazing thing is that after this Finale Performance, no one will remember him, but he has simultaneously completed another Stage performance outside of this Trials.

Because in this Trials he plays the role of one of his own, the Master of Trickery who walks alongside the Jie Shu!

To explain all this, we need to start with Cheng Shi assigning tasks to the Clowns.

When the Clowns learned that the Nose of Discernment was amidst their Giggle and Mock, each of them was determined to be the first to find Nose of Discernment.

Of course, this was Long Jing's opinion; as for whether others thought the same way... he thought so.

But who could have imagined that no sooner had Cheng Shi left than his Giggle and Mock vanished?

With nowhere to go, the Clowns could only continue doing their own thing, Long Jing also refocused his attention on Jie Shu.

He thought his performance with the Dragon King was quite good, and that Jie Shu would come looking for him sooner or later. But he waited and waited and never saw Jie Shu. Instead, he heard about Jie Shu.

A Master of Trickery surnamed Su.

?

Aside from that certain Master of Trickery surnamed Zhen, which other Master of Trickery would dare to shit on my head?

Why is it that he's the one who gets Jie Shu, but I'm not?

What's wrong with Acrobat?

Even the Clown Acrobat has to consider the occasion!

Who plays the Clown but not the Clown?

At that moment, Long Jing's competitive spirit was ignited. He was initially only interested in the group's Cheng Shi Jie Shu, but from that day on, he decided to teach this organization a lesson and show them that Master of Trickery were useless and that he was the best choice.

But he didn't expect the Master of Trickery to be so useless.

Long Jing prayed for a chance to run into Master of Trickery surnamed Su, and he actually did. In that Trials of Destiny, he only followed Su Yida and observed him for two days before successfully stealing his identity on the third day. This allowed his teammates to "expose" Su Yida's "disguise" and denounce him for imitating his teammates with ill intentions.

Su Yida's identity was stolen and he was slandered, which broke his defenses on the spot. That night, he secretly set up a murder plot and made a move against Long Jing.

Then he died silently in the night.

Long Jing swore that when he killed his opponent, he considered that the Master of Trickery targeted by Jie Shu was no ordinary person and would definitely have a backup plan, so he planned to kill his opponent first as a show of force.

Who would have thought that Su Yida was as fragile as paper, and that he would actually die just from having his neck broken?

After his death, Long Jing even broke his own neck in disbelief, but didn't die... This further proves that the Master of Trickery was made of paper.

But the other person's death did indeed give Long Jing a fright.

Of course, it wasn't just frightening; there were also pleasant surprises.

It seems that Long Jing no longer needs to insist on joining Jie Shu team under his own identity; he has unexpectedly acquired a new one.

The one who died was an imposter of Su Yida; what does that have to do with the real Su Yida?

Thus, the new "Su Yida" appeared.

Long Jing felt that he was just one opportunity away from being able to approach Jie Shu with a fresh perspective. Fearing that Jie Shu might be suspicious, he planned to create a big commotion under the guise of Su Yida to divert Jie Shu's attention, so that when the other party saw him again, they would focus on asking questions about the present rather than details of the past.

This way, it will be easier for him to handle things.

So soon he was faced with Special Trial.

When he finally had the chance to accomplish a "feat" as Su Yida... he encountered Cheng Shi and Zhen Xin in this Trials.

Damn Destiny.

Who would have thought that Zhang Jizu and An Mingyu, who were blown away, would be these two unlucky bastards?

To be honest, using the trickery of Master of Trickery to outwit the two Chosen of God is something that would be incredibly prestigious to say anytime.

But now...

Where's the dignity? All that's left is Clown Nose!

I think we don't need to look for this "Nose of Discernment" anymore; we can just take my nose and use it as a substitute.

Thinking this, Long Jing's gaze toward the dome grew increasingly unfocused.

At the same time, when Zhen Xin heard that Su Yida under her feet was from Long Jing, she was slightly taken aback, and then burst out laughing.

"President Gong, is this the surprise performance you prepared for everyone after disappearing for so long?"

Well, I have to say, it's somewhat original.

I think you're wasting your Acrobat. Why don't you become Clown like the guy in front of you? After all, there's never too much joy in the world, but you can never have too many Clown."

"..."

"..."

One sentence insults two people; how can you tell I am Xin Yi?

Cheng Shi had said long ago that the older sister's bad luck was no less than the younger sister's, and it was even very possible that what the world thought was bad luck was actually the older sister's fault, which was being shifted onto the younger sister.

Zhen Yi is still so pitiful.

But she should.

The Zhen Family suffered two misfortunes, yet their glory shines upon their lineage!

Cheng Shi, his face dark, ignored Zhen Xin's hearty laughter, and kicked Long Jing, whose eyes were unfocused, with his toe, saying speechlessly:

Is playing dead a required course in acrobatics?

Respected President Gong, could you please explain what you are doing?

Why impersonate soybean paste?

Where is the soybean paste maker?

Long Jing regained his senses slightly, but without getting up, he lay sprawled on the ground, uttering blankly, "Dead."

"!!!"

Cheng Shi's pupils contracted, and his tone became serious. "Dead? You killed him?"

Long Jing didn't want to take the blame, but couldn't deny the facts, so he could only nod and say, "Yes, but I didn't want to kill him. He was too easy to kill."

"..."

Cheng Shi felt that the words Yin-Yang, but he didn't laugh at all. In fact, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Because he recalled the scene when he met with the God of Merriment after the [Annihilation] Trials involving Su Yida.

He asked God of Merriment Su Yida if he had succeeded, God of Merriment replied that he was dead; both of them were dead.

At the time, Cheng Shi thought that the "two hims" that God of Merriment mentioned referred to were the future Su Yida came to his side and the present Su Yida who went to the future. But now, thinking about it, if the so-called "future" is another Slice Universe, how could God of Merriment Zi Shen, who is in the present world, know whether Su Yida went to another Slice Universe is dead or not?

So, is it possible that one of the "two" He mentioned back then could be this Su Yida now?

Long Jing killed Su Yida!?

But you're Deception! Where did this "Destiny" aura come from?

Seeing Cheng Shi's sudden change in expression, Zhen Xin's smile vanished, and she asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing much, just thinking about some things from the past."

Cheng Shi shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions, and looked back at Long Jing.

At this moment, Long Jing also regained his senses slightly due to Cheng Shi's Change. He slowly sat up and heard Cheng Shi ask in a strange tone:

"You want to play Su Yida and join the Jie Shu team?"

President Gong, you're not doing this to sabotage Jie Shu plan and make me owe you a favor, are you?

Or are you saying you've been wanting to beat me up for a Jie Shu now?

"!!!"

Regardless of the former or the latter, Long Jing could not admit it. He deliberately kept his mouth shut and did not respond. Not long after, he heard Cheng Shi say:

"However, this coincides with my own thoughts."

Speaking of which, I do have an identity I can use—no, perhaps more than one.

As he spoke, he looked at Zhen Xin and smiled, saying:

"Since we're on the topic, Miss Magician, would you be interested in joining a new project?"

I've created a script tailored just for you, and all you have to do is play your role well.

Zhen Xin raised an eyebrow with interest. "Who will you play?"

Cheng Shi smiled brightly:

"Your old friend, the Historian, Zhao Xishi."
