The Great Deceiver's Expert Forum

Men sometimes really can't lie to women, because when women go crazy, men can't handle it.

Xiao Yan was just like that. Now he was tasting the bitter fruit of deceiving feelings. He was blasted four to five zhang away by Na Lan Yan Ran's Kamehameha and lay on the ground, spitting blood.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. The battle just now had shocked them; it was too exciting.

Originally, they thought Na Lan Yan Ran had the sure win. Who knew Xiao Yan would gain the upper hand again? Later, Xiao Yan revealed his identity as Yan Xiao from yesterday and even conjured a Fire Lotus with considerable power. Everyone thought Xiao Yan had definitely won, but Na Lan Yan Ran gathered wind element in her hand again. It was truly full of twists and turns!

"I lost," Xiao Yan struggled to get up from the ground, his dejected expression making him pitiful.

Three years of training, three years of arduous cultivation, three years of anticipation, only to be met with three years of failure.

"Miss Na Lan, you won. I'm not worthy of you, but the dignity of the Xiao Family cannot be tainted." Xiao Yan stood up, feeling he had failed his father's expectations. With a movement of the Black Heavy Ruler in his hand, he directly struck his own forehead.

"Crack!"

Just then, the giant Black Heavy Ruler was suddenly caught by Na Lan Yan Ran's hands, stopping Xiao Yan's foolish act.

"Are you going to give up just like that?" Na Lan Yan Ran threw the Black Heavy Ruler aside with effort, saying with a charming pout, "If you can't beat me, then go train harder! A temporary failure doesn't mean a lifetime of failure. As long as you have the courage to move forward, I believe you'll be able to defeat me soon."

As she spoke, Na Lan Yan Ran's pretty face flushed. "Of course, before that, I, Na Lan Yan Ran, will always be waiting for you to come back and fight me."

"You..." After swallowing a dose of motivational words, Xiao Yan stared blankly at Na Lan Yan Ran, suddenly feeling that this girl wasn't so annoying after all.

A girl's thoughts are the hardest to guess. Na Lan Yan Ran didn't know what was happening to her. After defeating Xiao Yan, she actually developed a good impression of him. Seeing his sad appearance, her fragile heart shattered into pieces.

Since this Three-Year Pact had ended, Xiao Yan wouldn't linger here any longer. He picked up the Black Heavy Ruler from the ground and reinserted it onto his back, intending to leave.

"Wait!"

A sharp shout suddenly came, making Xiao Yan, who was on the road, stop abruptly. His heart suddenly jolted, certain that nothing good was about to happen.

He had killed Mo Cheng, the Grand Elder of the Mo Family in Salt City, before. That Mo Family had intricate ties with the Misty Cloud Sect. Today's battle had completely exposed his identity. How could the Misty Cloud Sect let this go?

"Elder Yun Leng, may I know what business you have?" Xiao Yan asked indifferently, forcing himself to calm down.

"Oh, nothing much. It's just that our Ancestor thinks highly of you and wants to know if you're interested in staying to listen to her lectures."

"What?" Xiao Yan's eyes widened in disbelief. He never expected such an outcome. He had thought Yun Leng intended to make things difficult for him.

Yun Leng didn't pay attention to Xiao Yan's expression and explained, "Our Misty Cloud Sect's Ancestor is a top-tier powerhouse on the Dou Qi Continent. Her knowledge is immense. To receive enlightenment from the Ancestor is a rare stroke of luck. Is Young Master Xiao Yan interested in listening?"

"Not interested, uh, no, no, no, I mean I don't have time. I'm very busy lately, so I won't be staying." Xiao Yan hastily declined.

The Misty Cloud Sect is not a good place. Listening to some public lectures? Don't even think about it. He should leave quickly. One should not stay in a place of trouble!

Seeing Xiao Yan run away without a word, a hint of mockery flashed in Yun Leng's eyes. This kid is truly a bumpkin, daring to refuse the lectures of the Ancestor. He's probably missing out on a tremendous opportunity in the future.

The farce of the Three-Year Pact ended just like that. The battle just now left many Misty Cloud Sect disciples feeling both envious and jealous. When would they ever possess such powerful Dou Techniques!

In light of this, Yun Shan boldly requested the Ancestor to hold a lecture assembly for all the Misty Cloud Sect disciples. They didn't ask the Ancestor to impart all her skills, just to offer some guidance to these juniors.

Ye Qianqian agreed without hesitation. It was a good opportunity to trick them again before dark.

And so, the mountaintop of Misty Cloud Mountain was cleared. On a platform thirty feet high in the distance, a "Dragon Raising Table" was placed, with "Myriad Beasts Bowing Chairs" arranged below. Lanterns and banners were hung all around, and tens of thousands of Misty Cloud Sect disciples gathered, filling every seat.

These disciples were excited, thrilled, invigorated, and delighted. All sorts of surging emotions were evident on their faces.

Ye Qianqian walked onto the high platform and glanced around. Well! It was a sea of people, like watching a World Cup.

"Students... cough cough... greetings, disciples."

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

"Disciples have worked hard."

"Revitalize the Misty Cloud, die without regret!"

The disciples below shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens, as if they had been brainwashed by the Hydra organization.

Seeing the good effect, Ye Qianqian began her performance.

"The disciples present today must still be thinking about the recent battle. I presume you must all be very envious of Yan Ran, girl?"

The disciples nodded repeatedly.

"It's not that I only favor Yan Ran, girl. You are all my disciples and grandchildren, and I treat you all equally. Today, I will broaden your horizons and give you a new understanding of Dou Qi and the world."

After a bout of boasting, Ye Qianqian secretly exchanged a copy of the Tao Te Ching from the system. She recited it loudly, shaking her head:

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name.

The unnamable is the beginning of heaven and earth. The namable is the mother of ten thousand things.

Thus, always without desire, one can see the mystery. Always with desire, one can see the manifestations.

These two emerge together but differ in name; together they are called the profound. Profound and yet more profound, the gate of all wonders."

After reciting a passage that even she didn't understand, Yun Shan and the other elders were shocked. What was the Ancestor saying? They couldn't understand it at all, but somehow, it felt like extremely profound theory.

Yun Shan and the other old guys didn't understand, and the disciples below understood even less. Seeing that their Ancestor Yun Shan and the others were listening intently, they assumed it must be some miraculous cultivation technique. So, they decided to memorize it all first and study it later.

"When everyone in the world knows beauty as beauty, there is ugliness; when everyone knows good as good, there is evil.

Being and non-being give birth to each other, difficult and easy complete each other, long and short form each other, high and low contrast each other, sound and voice harmonize each other, front and back follow each other. This is eternal."

After reciting a short passage, Ye Qianqian quickly contacted the system space.

"System, quickly exchange some low-level martial arts manuals for me, and then randomly select these disciples' bodies."

"Ding"

Congratulations to the host for successfully consuming 5,000 Shock Points.

After the manuals were successfully exchanged, the system, according to Ye Qianqian's instructions, randomly injected them into the minds of some disciples.

In an instant, the disciples below erupted.

"Ah! I actually comprehended a cultivation technique called the Purple Cloud Divine Skill from what the Ancestor said!"

A disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect, only thirteen years old, trembled all over with shock.

"I, I, I also comprehended a cultivation technique!" a little girl excitedly covered her mouth, and after a while, she managed to say its name, "The name is so cool, it's called the Star Absorbing Great Method!"

"Mine is the Innate Skill!"

"Mine is the Bone and Tendon Separation Hand!"

"Mine is the Bone Dissolving Palm!"

"Holy crap, the one I comprehended is the Beauty Shy Fist, what the hell is this!" a burly man was completely bewildered.

In an instant, hundreds of martial arts manuals were scattered everywhere, causing the disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect to boil with excitement.

Looking at Yun Shan, who was shocked in the distance, Ye Qianqian also had the system give him a Sunflower Manual. Yun Shan was so scared that he clamped his legs together, cursing himself for comprehending such a disgusting thing from the Ancestor's lecture.

"Ding"

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1,000 Shock Points from Yun Shan.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 300 Shock Points from Yun Qing'er.

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 500 Shock Points from Yun Feng.

The Shock Points from over ten thousand Misty Cloud Sect disciples poured in, allowing Ye Qianqian to make a fortune.

Of course, there were also disciples who didn't receive any gifts, but they weren't discouraged because they had already memorized the words of their Ancestor's grandmother. They were determined to study them diligently and strive to become graduate students as soon as possible.

"Ding"

Congratulations to the host for obtaining 100,000 Shock Points for the first time, triggering a hidden system reward.

System Reward: One C-class Bodyguard Summon Card, 10 Dou Emperor peak guards.

"Bodyguard Summon Card?" Ye Qianqian was confused. Could this item summon bodyguards to protect her?

Impatiently, she immediately activated the card in the system space, wanting to see what kind of powerful figure would appear.

"Ding"

Congratulations to the host for successfully using the C-class Bodyguard Summon Card and obtaining Artoria Pendragon. The bodyguard and guards will appear after 47:59 minutes. Please wait and see, host.

"Whoa, it's My King!"

Ye Qianqian was startled. The bodyguard the system gave her was Saber from the Holy Grail War.

She deeply remembered that anime, where My King was incredibly cool.

Moreover, at the age of 15, she pulled out the Sword in the Stone and became King Arthur.

And when she was the ruler of a kingdom, she wore a golden crown, a blue dress with white trim, a silver armor with blue patterns on the outside, pure white trousers on her legs, and her feet and hands were completely covered by thick silver armor, with a thick cloak draped over her shoulders.

In terms of personality, she was very serious, loyal, and upright, possessing the honor and pride of a Knight King. She loved small animals and once kept a small lion, which made her pay attention to lions ever since, considering them a symbol of strength.

"System, let me ask, what realm in this world is My King's strength equivalent to?"

"Currently set as Dou Ancestor peak, one unlock state."

Ye Qianqian understood. Dou Ancestor peak was pretty good. This system was truly powerful, giving her such a formidable bodyguard all at once.

"Ding"

System Mission:

As a super charmer, how can the host not challenge new heights of innovation!

Mission: Within ten days, please have the host charm the surrounding neighboring countries into submission.

System Reward: Charm Lottery Wheel unlocked.

Does the host accept?

"Wow," Ye Qianqian exclaimed, startled. This system was really pushing its luck, asking her to trick the surrounding empires.

"Accepted."

Even though she didn't know what this "Deception Roulette" was, Ye Qianqian still wanted to give it a try.

"Alright, that's all for today. When you return, you must study and review diligently. Do not be lazy." After leaving the system space, Ye Qianqian dismissed her disciples and called Yun Shan, who was standing nervously beside her, over.

"What are your orders, Ancestor?" Yun Shan was sweating profusely, afraid the Ancestor would ask him what techniques he had comprehended. If he mentioned the Sunflower Manual, the Ancestor might think he had issues with his sexual orientation.

"Little Shanzi!" Ye Qianqian told Yun Shan to squat down. She then stood on her tiptoes and patted his shoulder earnestly, saying, "Now that our Misty Cloud Sect controls the power of the Jia Ma Empire, I think we should consolidate our surrounding forces sooner rather than later."

"Ancestor, what surrounding forces are you referring to?" Yun Shan's eyes lit up.

"You guessed correctly. I'm talking about the Chu Yun Empire, the Mu Lan Empire, and the Yan Luo Empire."
