For Qin Siyu to get along with Li Nian, she had to be out of her mind too

Without a doubt, most of the emotions "revealed" by Qin Siyu were an act.

Although it was very realistic, natural, and captivating, Lin Yu could still tell the difference.

After all, although Qin Siyu is very talented, she has not received systematic training.

"Performance" is a very complex discipline and skill with a vast system and numerous techniques.

The difference between those who have received professional training and those who haven't is quite significant in this kind of knowledge, which has an extremely broad and profound "system".

When Qin Siyu heard that Lin Yu had seen through her again, her expression changed once more. The shock, tension, and gratitude disappeared, leaving only admiration and awe for Lin Yu.

"You could tell that?"

Lin Yu nodded. "Of course I can tell."

Qin Siyu said, "I'm really sorry... but I didn't mean to, it's just a habit I have."

"Because most of the time I'm faking my emotions, rather than showing my true feelings and inclinations, I'm more used to showing the 'reaction' that might be most advantageous to me... So, I subconsciously did that just now."

"However, 'almost instinctively Deception '... is perhaps a form of 'honesty' in itself, isn't it?"

Qin Siyu blinked and said.

Lin Yu looked at Qin Siyu and shook his head. "You're also very good at sophistry... I don't want to convince you. Just don't do this kind of thing in front of me anymore. It won't affect me; it'll only be a waste of your energy."

Qin Siyu nodded. "I think so too. I've learned my lesson after this experience."

"But I really should thank you," Qin Siyu said, touching her arm. "Although I don't know what method you used... you did manage to suppress the curse that Yaomo had placed on me."

Lin Yu shrugged. "I also have my own agenda and personal message—as I said, I hope you can help me and Brother Jian deal with the Yaomo hiding here."

"So... now you have nothing to worry about for the time being, tell me about it in detail."

As Lin Yu spoke, Qin Siyu nodded, then sighed somewhat helplessly, "Although I did conceal some information because I couldn't go against it, I really didn't conceal much."

"Because I've never actually seen it... I can only sense that it's 'everywhere'."

"Furthermore, it has the ability to interfere with a person's judgment and confuse their mind when they are asleep, unconscious, or in other states of impaired consciousness."

"My deceased companions... all became uncommunicable and uncontrollable after falling asleep or waking from a coma."

"But why was my consciousness specifically preserved... I don't know, maybe it's because I'm good at 'deceiving'?"

Lin Yu looked at Qin Siyu and said, "There's really nothing particularly important about what happened within the Duxuan Sect, because you haven't figured out the situation either..."

But what about before we get in here?

"What I'm really curious about is how your team came together and how you decided to come here?"

Qin Siyu pursed her lips, immediately understanding Lin Yu's meaning. "You suspect that someone deliberately plotted against us, is that right?"

"Exactly."

Lin Yu didn't beat around the bush and nodded in agreement.

Qin Siyu shook her head. "That's impossible... The reason why such the Many of us gathered together is actually a bit of a coincidence—we were three groups that came together."

"One of them was naturally me and a few of my friends in the underworld—one of them encountered a Yaomo corpse that had died due to a Formation in the Wind Prison. After investigating, he obtained clues about the ancient sect 'Duxuan Sect' in this place. After exploring, he discovered that there was a fully operational Formation in this place, so he hoped to try his luck inside this Daoist Sect and see if he could find some books or magic treasures to sell to other Daoist Sect."

"Because the person who found the information was of average skill and didn't understand Formation Dao, I simply asked a few friends to help me find it—people looking for people, and eventually they came to me. After all, although I obtained those Talismans techniques by chance, after using them a few times, a few of my friends knew about this skill of mine."

"The other group, however, got involved during this process. One of our men wanted to hire a Daoist Mage skilled in Formation, but word got out. So some Daoist Mage and martial artists who were on good terms with Daoist Mage also wanted a piece of the pie—but they did warn us beforehand."

"But the third group... we only discovered them after we arrived—it turns out there were other people who found the Yaomo's corpse, and coincidentally, they also arrived in the vicinity around the same time—after we probed each other, we simply discussed the division of labor and decided to act together."

As Qin Siyu spoke, she explained the situation that day to Lin Yu.

Finally, Qin Siyu concluded. "At least in my opinion, our team acting together was purely by coincidence."

Lin Yu nodded slightly after listening to the previous parts, but after Qin Siyu drew her conclusion, Lin Yu shook her head slightly and said, "Coincidence... it does sound like a 'coincidence,' but in my opinion, 'coincidence' can also be manipulated."

Qin Siyu listened to Lin Yu's words, puzzled. "Can human manipulation still be called a coincidence? Besides... there are too many uncertainties in these links, especially with so many people involved... everyone's actions are unpredictable, how can one manipulate these uncontrollable links?"

Lin Yu looked at Qin Siyu and asked, "Do you know the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord?"

Qin Siyu paused for a moment, then nodded. "I've heard a little about it... This seems to be the Demon Lord whom Daoist Master Xingyi reinforced the seal for."

"Do you know what she does?"

Lin Yu spoke.

Qin Siyu shook her head. "I really don't know..."

"Her ability is to manipulate 'Destiny,' which includes creating 'coincidences'—you think your choices are based on your own will, you think everyone's actions are uncontrollable, but... under her power, none of this is absolute."

Lin Yu said in a low voice.

Qin Siyu said with a chill, "So she actually has this kind of ability... But even if she does, isn't the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord sealed away? -- You mean, she's the one who did this?"

Lin Yu shook his head again after hearing Qin Siyu's words.

However, he did not tell Qin Siyu and Zhu Qiansi that they had "Prison Break," but instead explained it from another perspective.

"That Demon Lord, like the Six Desires Demon Lord, also has a Heavenly Demon master behind her, except that her previous master is already dead," Lin Yu said calmly. "The Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord inherited part of her master's legacy, which is why she has that ability to manipulate Karma..."

"However, the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord wasn't the only one who inherited her master's legacy."

As Lin Yu spoke, Qin Siyu paused for a moment, then asked, "More than one?"

"Yes, her master was torn to pieces after his death... and one part of it ended up in Brother Jian's hands. That's why he was willing and able to deal with the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord," Lin Yu said. "So, you said that the Yaomo deliberately spared your life and made you target the disciples who came here... This is very likely a trap set specifically for Brother Jian, anticipating his arrival."

"You martial arts practitioners were lured into and trapped inside this Duxuan Sect, which is very likely just a 'setup' specifically for Brother Jian's purposes."

Hearing Lin Yu say this, Qin Siyu was somewhat dumbfounded.

"Our lives... are just a 'scheming tactic'?"

She murmured, a mixture of shock, frustration, and disappointment in her voice.

After all... Qin Siyu is quite famous in the martial arts Prison Mountain Realm, and judging by her strength, she can be considered a first-class expert.

The dozen or so people accompanying her must all be quite skilled.

But hearing Lin Yu say that these dozen or so lives were trapped and died here only because of an "arrangement" made against the "Feng Shui Master" Jian Cunyi, one can't help but feel a little... ironic.

Qin Siyu was particularly clever; she could clearly realize that what Lin Yu said was true and not a joke.

"You may know that Daoist Master Xingyi is strong, but you don't know just how strong he is," Lin Yu said in a low voice, "He is only two steps away from reaching the Underground passage."

"The Heavenly Demon behind those Demon Lords and Demon King are not much different from him."

"To scheme against this kind of person, you or I might both become 'means' that can be used and consumed."

"So... you should trust me even more."

As Lin Yu spoke, Qin Siyu pondered for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh.

"It sounds like I have no other choice, doesn't it?"

She touched the pale purple markings on her arm that shimmered with golden light and said, "After all, although you've temporarily helped me suppress another Yaomo's abilities, my life is now in your hands, isn't it?"

Lin Yu sighed, "You're really smart... but it's good that you realized this yourself."

"I'm just keeping a backup plan for myself. After all, 'Moon-Exploring Star-Plucking' Qin Siyu... you're not someone easy to manipulate."

Qin Siyu said, "But it still fell into your hands..."

Lin Yu didn't speak, but said, "Alright... we should go back now. After all, if we delay any longer, the thing in the Yin Side will notice me. Although the blessing of the Six Desires Demon Lord can temporarily prevent me from being corrupted, this place is indeed strange, and I'd better not cause any more trouble."

Lin Yu paused for a moment at this point.

"However, before that, I have a personal question I'd like to ask, just to satisfy my curiosity. You don't have to answer it."

Qin Siyu looked at Lin Yu and asked, "Go ahead and ask. As long as it's not the color of my undergarments, I'll tell you."

Then, she paused for a moment, and said again, "Hmm, it seems like underwear can tell you something too."

Lin Yu sighed and rubbed his forehead, "What are you thinking? I'm not interested in that!"

He suddenly realized that Qin Siyu, when not impersonating Li Nian, didn't seem to be a normal human being.

"What I want to ask is... what exactly is your relationship with Li Nian?"
