True Acting, A Negotiable Deal

Lin Yu did know from the beginning that something was wrong with "Chen Yuanye," otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to have Xuan Yunzi produce Xie Chong's remains here and quickly obtain the Divine Speed Talisman from him.

It would be good to go to Xian Town to investigate slowly, but... this Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord is just too strange, and Lin Yu doesn't want to cause any more trouble.

Although its abilities haven't worked on his group yet, the experiences of the three Little Fire Dragons have made it clear to Lin Yu... the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord's abilities are definitely not ineffective against Player.

If this drags on any longer, and the entanglements and Karma deepen, the "Karma Threads" might really come knocking on our door!

Therefore, it's best to let the other party take the initiative to come to you.

Based on Chen Yuanye's behavior and the information currently available, Lin Yu could easily deduce one thing: the other party coveted Xie Chong's remains, and there was another set of Xie Chong's remains here.

If Xie Chong's remains weren't enough to entice them to risk coming here, then...

One more, please!

As it turned out, Lin Yu's guess was correct.

The "Chen Yuanye" standing before him now perfectly illustrates this point.

However, despite seeing through Chen Yuanye's scheme, Lin Yu felt no sense of accomplishment.

Because he guessed wrong about one thing—"Chen Yuanye" was not played by acting skills, but by truly releasing the consciousness and personality of "Chen Yuanye" himself.

Although this misjudgment was completely harmless, Lin Yu himself was quite bothered by it.

For Lin Yu, it was like a magician discovering a brilliant street Magic Show making people disappear, itching to try it himself, feeling as if he had met a kindred spirit, and then approaching the performer to chat, only to find out that the performer wasn't actually performing magic; the principle behind the "making people disappear" was that he knew magic and used teleportation to send people away.

"I can't believe I didn't realize that it wasn't acting..."

Fortunately, Lin Yu adjusted his mindset quickly—after all, he knew he had been to the [Instance] before, and couldn't be here to hone his acting skills.

"At least this also shows that acting skills of my caliber are indeed not something that just anyone can achieve."

Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then exhaled and looked at the "Chen Yuanye" in front of him.

"Alright, since you have this ability, then I assume that the guy who commissioned Jinfu Escort Agency 'Guzhen Town branch to escort Xie Chong's body was also you, right?"

Chen Yuanye chuckled softly, "Clever, Junior Sister."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and then a short, stout man dressed as a wealthy landlord emerged from the shadows, with a black mole on his face, and slowly began to speak.

"Although I've never met you before, it's quite a pleasant surprise to see you 'outsiders'," "Chen Yuanye" said in a low voice, "You must be quite a formidable figure among them, right?"

"Just a nobody," Lin Yu waved his hand and said, "It's only by chance that I could see through your arrangements—what I'm more curious about is, who are you? Could you perhaps be Doppelganger of the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord?"

Chen Yuanye sneered, "Me? Of course not... Although I can indeed use the 'Karma Threads' supernatural power of the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord, I am indeed a genuine human being!"

After these words were spoken, Lin Yu did not express any opinion, Xuan Yunzi could not help but speak up.

"Nonsense, utter nonsense—even if you were once human, your insidious and treacherous methods of possessing another's body and residing in theirs clearly place you among the ranks of Yaomo and beasts!"

Xuan Yunzi glared and cursed, and Chen Yuanye said nothing more.

"There's no point in saying more. Quickly hand over Xie Chong's remains, and I might spare your lives!"

Chen Yuanye spoke in a low voice, then waved his hand again.

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

As Chen Yuanye spoke, a dark Shadow appeared around them.

One after another, Shadow appeared around Chen Yuanye —some were familiar faces to Lin Yu, bodyguards from Jinfu Escort Agency, while others were completely unknown to Lin Yu.

Compared to the puppets they encountered in Chen Family Fortress, these Shadow were clearly not ordinary people, but Martial Arts skilled in martial arts.

The Snowy Owl snorted coldly, "Trying to threaten us? Do you think I'm afraid of your threats?"

Gao Shan nodded. "That's right, if you want Xie Chong's remains, then come and take them yourself!"

The Seagull sighed helplessly, "Sigh, another fight is brewing... There's just no way around it!"

The righteous trio immediately prepared for battle.

Chen Yuanye sneered again, "You won't shed tears until you see the coffin—fine, since you refused to take the path I offered, don't blame me for being ruthless..."

As Chen Yuanye spoke, he was about to launch his attack.

Just then, Lin Yu raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Wait—I haven't said anything yet."

Lin Yu calmly untied Xie Chong's body from his back and said, "This thing is in my hands. Why are you listening to their opinions? I didn't say I wouldn't agree to your request."

Upon hearing this, the Snowy Owl, Seagull, and Gao Shan all immediately turned to look at Lin Yu.

"What are you doing?" the Snowy Owl scolded, frowning. "Are you perhaps going to cooperate with the Yaomo of this Prison Mountain Realm?"

Xuan Yunzi immediately chimed in, "Absolutely not! Xie Chong's remains must not fall into the hands of this villain!"

Gao Shan also tried to dissuade Lin Yu: "This guy's origins are unknown, and he's in cahoots with that spider. If you agree to cooperate with him, it might cause Living Beings in the Prison Mountain Realm!"

"Yes, there's no reason for us to surrender."

The Seagull chimed in.

Lin Yu didn't reply, Fei Dao whispered, "But, it's not that bad, is it?"

Li Nian also crossed her arms and immediately supported Lin Yu: "Stop with the moral blackmail!"

Gao Shan continued, "This isn't about moral blackmail... This guy is in cahoots with the Yaomo. Even if we get the remains, he might not keep his promise—besides, how are we supposed to get through this if we get the remains?"

Not only were the Player stunned, but even Chen Yuanye was taken aback.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, "What do you mean?"

Lin Yu ignored the argument behind him and simply looked at Chen Yuanye, saying leisurely, "It's not that I can't give you Xie Chong's remains... You also know that I am a 'person from beyond the realm,' and I have no irreconcilable conflict with this Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord."

"So—as long as you can fulfill our purpose, there's nothing wrong with giving you this mutilated body."

Xuan Yunzi panicked upon hearing this. "You... you really are lying to me! You scoundrel! I trusted you so much!"

Lin Yu ignored Xuan Yunzi and instead looked at Chen Yuanye with great interest.

"So, let me first confirm... what exactly are your plans for this Xie Chong's remains?"
