Mouth Brother, You!!!!!!!

As we all know, the Eight Trigrams are a ladder of human progress.

Driven by their gossip-loving mentality, everyone seemed to forget that this was a Trials of "prosperity" held underground. One by one, they stared at Cheng Shi, eager to know what kind of morally depraved and humanly twisted story had occurred between this unfortunate fellow and Zhen Yi.

Cheng Shi dared not let this atmosphere of "seeking knowledge" continue any longer. He coughed lightly and abruptly changed the subject:

"The Sighing Forest is fraught with danger, and the Sighing Tide could arrive at any time. Should we take action now and search for that [Prosperity] Trials target that shouldn't exist underground?"

This was a very pertinent and relevant suggestion, but no one responded to him, Hong Lin even shook his head with a smile:

"Don't rush. I think everyone thinks there's no need to rush to find a target. Why don't you tell us about your relationship with Zhen Yi first?"

Cheng Shi was speechless.

The Historian wholeheartedly agreed, and even took out their own history books and looked at him expectantly.

"..."

Huh? What kind of legitimate poop owner is this?

Seeing this, Hong Lin laughed even more heartily:

"Don't be shy. There are many people here, more or less. Well, I can't say that. Leaving aside others, at least this stinky bird has definitely been tricked by Zhen Yi."

To be honest, I've suffered quite a few losses at her hands.

Just think of this as Mutual Aid Society for patients, a place to share experiences of being scammed, so you can better fight back against these scammers and learn how they operate.

"..."

This is some damn patient Mutual Aid Society. I don't have much to share. I can't exactly tell you that all the gossip you want to know is made up by me...

"Hmm? You can't say?" Hong Lin's smile suddenly turned sharp. She looked in Cheng Shi's direction and abruptly raised her wooden gun. "That's interesting. Telling this kind of harmless joke is just to make everyone laugh. If you have to hide even this... I'm even more curious. What exactly are you trying to hide?"

Or is it that you really want to hide your experiences related to Zhen Yi?

This con artist has never 'introduced' anyone so openly before. Her unusual behavior makes one wonder.

Do you think it's possible that this con artist doesn't actually have a new love interest, but is instead creating a new identity for himself?

You're not one of those scammers, are you?

Zhen Yi!?

No sooner had he finished speaking than a long spear shot toward Cheng Shi's head with a whooshing sound.

Cheng Shi's gaze sharpened, and he slightly turned his body to dodge the attack.

He could tell that this "Prosperity" Chosen of God was truly terrified of being scammed by Zhen Yi. She had to verify anything related to Zhen Yi repeatedly. However, her thinking was not wrong. If it were him, he would also have to think carefully about whether he was about to be scammed again or whether he had encountered a new fraud scheme.

Moreover, the opponent's attack was more of a probe than a real attack, and it lacked any real force, so it wasn't a sign of a complete breakdown in relations.

But I have to say, girl, you're being a bit too paranoid.

What heinous thing did Zhen Yi do to you that made you so sensitive?

Not only Hong Lin, but everyone present became somewhat cautious in their gazes. Judging from their expressions, it seemed that if Cheng Shi did not refute, he would soon become the target of public criticism and "become" the real Zhen Yi.

Seeing the situation deteriorate as soon as the Trials began, Cheng Shi cursed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do. He could only quickly fabricate new lies in his mind in an attempt to deal with the situation.

But just as he was having a crazy brainstorming Storm, that restless mouth suddenly opened without warning.

"Hehe~ What a pity, you actually found out!"

"!!!..."

That one sentence alone caused the entire audience to erupt in cheers!

The hair is all fried!

Cheng Shi's mind went blank for a moment. He even forgot to scold Mouth Brother at the first moment. He only felt as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt. Plasma raged irrationally from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, and his whole body was numb and stiff.

If Hong Lin were to throw even a weak spear like she did just now, she could probably pin Cheng Shi to the spot.

But would she?

Won't!

Because her reaction was even more distorted than Cheng Shi's!

Before the Lips of Foolish Play could finish their sentence and had only uttered a "hee," she instinctively tensed up, her pupils contracted sharply, and her mind went blank as if a thousand thunderbolts had struck her.

She didn't actually think Cheng Shi was Zhen Yi; she just felt that this person might be extraordinary, so she wanted to test him. But she never expected that this test would actually reveal that he was Zhen Yi!

He's actually Zhen Yi!?

It's so similar, so incredibly similar!

No, it's not just similar, it's practically identical! It's hard for anyone to imitate that smug tone!

There's probably no one in the world who would dare to imitate this.

Hong Lin's face visibly darkened, and she clenched her fists, immediately becoming wary of herself.

The others present were in no better shape.

Feathered Brother suddenly tightened his legs and reached into his feather cloak, gripping something tightly.

The Historian shuddered, dropping his history books in fright, and scrambled backward.

The cold-faced Assassin's eyes widened, and he silently disappeared behind a tree.

The Puppeteer's Mature Sister Puppet took a stance and immediately protected the main body.

Everyone was stunned; they were all terrified.

But no one is dumber than Cheng Shi!

Because he discovered that the Trials had only just begun when the sky collapsed, and it was all caused by a single mouth talking nonsense.

What to do? What to do? What to do?

Help me! Help me! Help me!

Seeing that the Trials of "prosperity" was about to turn into "war", Cheng Shi's mind raced, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to him, and he actually thought of a way to turn the tide!

He glanced calmly at the furious Hong Lin, forcing a harmless smile, as if he hadn't said those words at all, then spread his hands and said:

"See, that's probably why that Crazy Woman is spreading rumors about me everywhere in an attempt to get revenge on me."

And this is my story with her.

"??????????????????????"

The more terrifying the scene was just now, the more bewildered we are now.

Everyone looked at Cheng Shi in disbelief, each trying to determine whether this was a genuine explanation or a novel scam.

Hong Lin's brows were furrowed deeply. She looked at Cheng Shi with a serious expression, equally incredulous:

"You... aren't Zhen Yi?"

"No!" Cheng Shi replied quickly.

He was afraid that if he hesitated for even a second, Mouth Brother would say "yes" to him again, and then he would be speechless.

"You mean you impersonated that conman?"
