Da Yi, the Yi in Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding

The group of people had different expressions as they strolled forward. Cheng Shi looked around at everything, his doubts growing stronger.

My dear older brother always seems to be able to find the place he wants to go amidst this indiscerning Giggle and Mock.

This time too, he was clearly heading towards this rendezvous point, which is similar to the safe zone, but how did he know that this road would definitely lead him here?

Why did the Grand Marshal seem more like Giggle and Mock "family member" than he did?

Could it be that the God of Merriment... has also cooperated with [War]?

Not only him, but the others were also secretly observing the burly man sitting opposite them. Mo Li, sitting next to Hu Wei, was about to greet him when he heard the burly man shout loudly:

"Damn it, the person that Old Hu brought here is definitely not an ordinary person."

The First Assistant, I know you, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Long Jing, we've tried it before, feel free to use it.

As for these two..."

He looked at Cheng Shi and Hu Xuan with suspicion, seemingly trying to guess their identities.

Upon Hu Wei burst into laughter and patted Cheng Shi on the shoulder, saying:

"This is also my brother, the Fate Weaver Cheng Shi."

As for this one..."

"Wait a minute?" The burly man opposite him was taken aback, scratching his head and saying, "Damn it, he's Zhen Yi's lover?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone chuckled upon hearing this, but the person involved remained stiff, unsure whether to accept or not.

But Hu Wei ultimately got Cheng Shi out of the predicament, and he laughed heartily, saying:

"It's all in the past now. Sigh, I misspoke. It's not in the past either. Anyway, my brother saved me once. You better watch your mouth and stop being so annoying."

As for this one..."

As he spoke, the Grand Marshal looked at Hu Xuan with a slightly complicated expression and said solemnly:

"This is the Eternal Day that Lao Sun often mentions, Hu Xuan."

"???" The burly man opposite him was stunned, and immediately stood up in shock, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Damn it, who is it?"

Hu Xuan's complexion did become a little rosier.

Whether it was the bonfire that reddened her cheeks or the fact that she no longer needed to pretend to be pale after the performance, she no longer looked tired and instead possessed a kind of weary beauty.

She sat down beside Cheng Shi with her knees together, smiled slightly at the burly man opposite her, and introduced herself:

"Hu Xuan".

The burly man's expression changed slightly, then he sighed:

"Damn it, it seems Old Sun is really gone. Sigh, it's all fate."

This old guy was a bit cunning, but he was actually quite kind-hearted. What a pity.

Alright, that's enough. Since you've been brought here by Old Hu, we're... friends now.

Let me introduce myself. I'm Da Yi, the Yi from Jia Yi Bing Ding. It's a pleasure to meet you both.

As he spoke, Da Yi clasped his hands in a fist salute to Cheng Shi and Hu Xuan, his bold and unrestrained manner remarkably similar to that of Hu Wei.

Cheng Shi was very interested in this burly man. His gaze carefully swept over the man's fingers, the base of his thumb and forefinger and his wrist, and then quickly examined the man's ears, nose and neck. Soon he figured out the man's profession.

Assassin!

This rough-looking man is actually an Assassin!

Because his hands had no calluses or wear, and his fingers were as nimble and slender as a girl's, he was obviously a master who often performed fancy tricks. Moreover, his nostrils were constantly twitching slightly, and his Ear were turning back and forth, very alert to all the sounds around him.

Most importantly, when he faced the crowd, he nodded slightly and used his exaggerated chin to cover his neck, which looked like a cautious defensive posture.

Based on this, Cheng Shi deduced that the other party was most likely an Assassin, but he didn't know what kind of Faith this Da Yi Assassin.

This doubt did not last long, because Long Jing's next question directly provided Cheng Shi with the answer.

"Grand Marshal, you [War] people hold these kinds of little gatherings?"

You're at war?

Cheng Shi was taken aback, then casually glanced at Da Yi across from him.

So he was actually the Assassin of [War], the Xi Guang Tie Ci?

Shouldn't these be a group of shadow assassins lurking on the battlefield, waiting for the right moment to kill enemy generals and seize flags? Dude, why do you look like a Vanguard Warrior?

Is contrast still a trend in the Assassin world?

Tsk, that's really hard to judge.

Cheng Shi chuckled inwardly, subtly shifting his gaze. Hu Wei, standing beside him, chuckled again.

"It's just a gathering to exchange what we have, not a simple gathering for [war]."

Aside from that lousy place, the Fool's Society, I was also going to come here today, of course, for the very place I mentioned before... a place where I could gain something!

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately perked up again.

At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten the danger they had just experienced and Zhen Yi's scheme. As if they had adapted to this bad luck, they threw all the unpleasantness of the day to the back of their minds, and only the "profits" in front of them remained in their eyes!

Their emotional shifts were so rapid that Cheng Shi, witnessing it, couldn't help but sigh:

This is the efficiency of Peak Player. They never dwell on failures or wallow in the past. They even sit together before their injuries have healed, discussing how to proceed with the next Trials.

They are tireless and relentless, constantly progressing at this pace. Although the [Faith Game] has only been around for a little over half a year, for this group of people, it may have been several years or even more than a decade of honing their skills compared to others!

Thinking back to my past self... I've fallen so far behind...

This is also why Cheng Shi wanted to switch back to his original identity and go with the Grand Marshal to broaden his horizons, because he lacked far too much information.

"Speaking of which, this matter is related to what you mentioned, Long Jing," Hu Wei continued, looking at Long Jing.

"Me?" Long Jing was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in a low voice with a wonderful expression, "The fall of [Decay]?"

Hu Wei's eyes also gleamed:

"Indeed, [Decay] has fallen."

Actually, before Zhen Yi said that "prosperity" had fallen, I had been guessing that "Decay" had fallen.

Please don't look at me like that. I have special sources who know about that matter. I don't know the details, but I can say for sure that even if [Decay] did not fall, it must have suffered heavy damage in that 'God War'!

Even more... it lost a great deal of Divine Power and Divine Authority!

I have gathered you all here for this [Decay] lost thing.

That's why I trusted you somewhat at the Fool's Society, but you... betrayed my trust, Long Jing.

This is a call to action.

Long Jing looked embarrassed, but he quickly found a way to divert his embarrassment: he scolded Zhen Yi.

"Damn it, Blame It On that bastard Zhen Yi's fault. If she..."

He had only said half of what he was saying when he seemed to realize something and immediately looked at Cheng Shi, his apologetic gaze full of meaning.
