General!

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's face darkened.

Hu Wei suppressed his disgust and glanced at his good brother with a furrowed brow, only to find that "Cheng Shi's" expression was equally gloomy and uncertain. He seemed to want to explain something, but in the end, he gave up.

Upon seeing this, Hu Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he cursed his bad luck inwardly. It seemed that "Zhen Yi" was right, and "Cheng Shi"... had been tricked.

But was Zhen Yi really tricked?

Yes, she was indeed tricked.

Just because she wanted to portray "Cheng Shi" better, she deliberately hesitated for a second before speaking. But it was that one second that allowed Cheng Shi to seize the initiative and outmaneuver her.

The turning point for the general was the sudden appearance of "Cheng Shi," which was extremely illogical. Apart from "Zhen Yi" himself, no one could explain this self-contradictory behavior. But now, "Zhen Yi" has provided an explanation.

The explanation is that "she" has erased "Cheng Shi's " Memory of that trial, so the Fate Weaver is no longer important.

Thus, Cheng Shi was left with only two paths:

The first point is to refute "Zhen Yi" and prove that he has not lost his Memory.

But in this way, "Cheng Shi" would no longer be "Cheng Shi", because the real Cheng Shi would never allow himself to become the target of public criticism. So even if "Zhen Yi" was lying, he would take the opportunity to hide and let the other party attract all the firepower on the scene.

There weren't many people present who knew Cheng Shi, except perhaps the Grand Marshal. So if Zhen Yi made a rebuttal, it was very likely to arouse Hu Wei's suspicion, or even expose her identity directly.

However, if she doesn't want to expose herself, then she can only choose the second path: continue to play the role of "Cheng Shi" and let "Zhen Yi" take the lead.

Once she silently accepts the role of "Cheng Shi," the rhythm of the game will be controlled by the real Cheng Shi, and it is very likely to develop in an unexpected direction.

This was a difficult choice, and it Cheng Shi the best response Cheng Shi could come up with in such a short time to invite Zhen Yi to "negotiate"!

I'm only giving you two choices: either you reveal your identity and give up participating in the Grand Marshal's secret mission, and we continue with the second round of identity verification, or you remain "me" and I remain "you," but from now on, this place will become my stage, and you will only be an audience member!

This choice was too difficult for Zhen Yi, because no matter which one she chose, she had to accept the fact that she had been humiliated by Cheng Shi once again.

Just like last time when her little watermelon was touched, even if she could blame it on her older sister, being touched is being touched, and she has to bear the consequences of losing the bet.

The same applies now.

This time, after quickly weighing the options, Zhen Yi decisively chose to continue playing the role of "Cheng Shi".

This wasn't the option she could accept the most, but it was the one that would best protect her "bad reputation."

In fact, for the real Zhen Yi, she had a third option: to overturn the table and stop playing with Cheng Shi. She had the ability and the right to do so.

The problem is that overturning the table is tantamount to revealing one's identity. This tactic might work in an ordinary Trials, but in front of many Chosen of God Peak Player, it is tantamount to admitting that one has been outmaneuvered in this private confrontation, and that one has to resort to violence to solve the problem under the coercion of the other party!

This is the scene that Zhen Yi least wanted to see.

With Chen Shu present, she knew very well that perhaps the next day, no, possibly just a few hours later, the entire elite circle would know about this, and then the "fame" she had painstakingly built up would collapse overnight.

Afterwards, when people talk about themselves again, the smiles on their faces will no longer be self-deprecating, but sarcastic.

This mocking Master of Trickery, who always turns people into amusement, has finally become amusement himself.

Zhen Yi wasn't against becoming a source of amusement, but only if she was willing and proactive. But right now, she was neither willing nor proactive.

So she could only endure it for the time being and take a step back, choosing to continue playing the role of "Cheng Shi" well, playing the role of this Fate Weaver who had no fun and only knew how to protect himself!

When Cheng Shi saw that "Cheng Shi" was silent, he knew that he had gained the upper hand in this situation, which could Change at any moment.

Using his understanding of Zhen Yi and his own personality, he trapped Zhen Yi in his own identity trap, while also using a single sentence to distance himself from the Trials and to exonerate himself of the consequences of his actions.

From today onwards, the title of "Zhen Yi's boyfriend" will finally become history.

Even a dark history is better than constantly carrying it around.

Moreover, his plans to expand the "prosperity" situation can continue.

After all, what does what Zhen Yi said have to do with me, Cheng Shi?

My Memory have been taken away...

Thus, in the unseen clash between the con artists, the situation reversed.

Everyone stared at "Zhen Yi" with grim faces, looking utterly dejected.

They can't kill him, and they can't catch him. If "Cheng Shi's" Yi Zhen been taken away by "Zhen Yi," then no one will know what happened in that Trials, unless they can find other players who participated in that Trials.

Mo Li looked at Long Jing questioningly. Long Jing understood what she meant but shook her head in annoyance. Because Zhen Yi's target had always been Cheng Shi, she had not told him who else was in that Trials.

Thus, the final interpretation rights returned to "Zhen Yi" after many twists and turns, but in everyone's eyes, "she" was a liar full of lies.

Now, no one will know what exactly happened during that Trials.

Seeing that the situation was gradually becoming tense, Mo Li sighed again and said to Zhen Yi:

"One against four, Zhen Yi, even if you manage to escape, you're still in for a beating. Tell me your terms. I prefer negotiation to violence."

Seeing everyone's discomfiture, "Zhen Yi" was overjoyed. Not only that, "she" even dared to swagger up to Mo Li, grinning as she closely examined this Chosen of God of [Order]. After looking him over enough, she turned and walked away...

He dared not go to Hu Wei's place, so he turned around and went back.

Showing off isn't always a good thing; being able to casually look at the Chosen of God while bearing the name "Zhen Yi" is already quite impressive.

Cheng Shi noted down Mo Li's characteristics, then circled back satisfied, and spoke again:

"My conditions are very simple, as I have already stated."

"What?"

Hu Wei frowned, but then heard Long Jing grit his teeth and say:

"Please beg her..."

That bastard deserves a beating, everyone. I was wrong about what happened earlier, and I apologize to everyone. To show my sincerity, I'll take the lead this time.

I'm going to beat that bastard to a pulp today, that's the only way I can vent my anger!

As he spoke, Long Jing leaped high to attack "Zhen Yi," but at that moment, Chen Shu, who had been silent all along, pulled Long Jing down from his high jump and then held his hand, shouting repeatedly:

"Old Gong, don't be anxious, Old Gong, calm down, Old Gong, let it go."

"..."

"..."

"..."

But Long Jing got even angrier after hearing these absurd words. His eyes blazed as he looked at Chen Shu, wishing he could beat Chen Shu up too.

But then Chen Shu changed again, as if he had sided with Long Jing, and he looked at "Zhen Yi" with a pitiful expression and cried out:

"Please, Zhen Yi, have pity on me! Even if you don't pity me, have pity on Old Gong and your amnesiac ex-boyfriend!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

After these words, everyone present fell silent.

No one expected that one of these two people would actually dare to speak up and the other would actually be willing to back down.

Even Cheng Shi almost burst out laughing when he saw this.

Upon hearing Chen Shu's plea, Long Jing was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged, and he raised a fist and aimed it straight at the back of Chen Shu's head.

But just then, just as the whistling fist was about to smash Chen Shu's head open, "Zhen Yi" suddenly happily agreed to Chen Shu's request.

Whether it was "Old Gong" that tickled her funny bone or the way "ex-boyfriend" was called that was just too amusing, she was laughing radiantly.

"Alright, since you're all begging me like this, I'll tell you."

But you must remember, this time it's all thanks to my brother Chen Shu."

"..."

After saying that, without waiting for Chen Shu's "pitiful" expression to freeze on his face, "Zhen Yi" told everyone present the most explosive news in this Fool's Society that night.

"Cheng Xiaoshi's Memory tell me that a god did indeed fall during that Trials, but the fallen god was not [Decay], but rather..."

[Prosperity]!"

The moment he finished speaking, the entire room was stunned.

Mo Li's eyes flashed with a sharp light, Hu Wei's expression was one of disbelief and skepticism, but "Cheng Shi" looked at Cheng Shi with a meaningful gaze, as if to say that it was indeed so.

But just as everyone was still trying to determine whether Zhen Yi's words were true or false, she suddenly burst into laughter.

Hehe~

You...

You won't believe it, will you?
