When Did I Once, Like Him, Become a Pure Young Man

"Ding! Faced with Xiao Zhan's question, you choose…"

[Choice 1: Glare at Xiao Zhan and say indifferently, "It's adult business, you old geezer should ask less." Quest Completion Reward: Belt damage reduced by 50%!]

[Choice 2: Choose to hide the truth and lie, telling Xiao Zhan you went to a brothel to listen to music. Quest Completion Reward: Lying ability credibility increased by 50%!]

[Choice 3: Tell the truth, you plan to "subsidize the household." Quest Completion Reward: Lie detector function activated!]

"……"

Xiao Lang didn't expect this to trigger a quest. He was initially surprised, but his expression immediately soured when he saw the first choice.

Fifty percent belt damage reduction, my ass!

Don't I even get a +1 to basic protection level?

But that line really fit his style, it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted.

As for the second choice, honestly, he was a little tempted, but he quickly realized it was a trap.

The 50% increase in credibility was premised on the other person believing him.

What if the other person didn't believe him?

Five times zero was still zero.

He almost fell for the system's trap!

Could the system's name be A Liang?

Only when he saw the third choice did Xiao Lang's expression ease considerably.

Lie detector system!

This was exactly what he needed.

After all, he was rapidly expanding his influence, and he didn't know who was genuinely joining him and who had ulterior motives.

With this lie detection function, he could completely deal with those with ill intentions!

"Are you trying to lie to me?"

Seeing Xiao Lang's fluctuating expression, Xiao Zhan knew the kid wasn't up to anything good.

"……"

Xiao Lang's mouth twitched. You predicted my prediction, didn't you?

"Am I worth lying to?"

Xiao Lang glared at Xiao Zhan and said irritably, "I'm planning to subsidize the household."

"Subsidize the household? What household do you need to subsidize? Don't you have money, kid?" Xiao Zhan asked, confused.

"It's adult business, you old geezer should ask less!"

Xiao Lang glared at Xiao Zhan again. After saying that, he looked relieved.

Then, without another word, he immediately used the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track Step to slip away.

After all, he was no match for his own father yet, and saying that would definitely earn him a beating.

"……"

Xiao Zhan was stunned. After he reacted, he realized Xiao Lang had already walked far away. He then called Uncle Fu to follow Xiao Lang secretly. Uncle Fu was the old man who often woke Xiao Lang up.

After all, too many new faces had flooded into Wutan City recently, with the lowest strength being five-star Dou Master. Even though Xiao Lang had become a Dou Master, it wasn't safe.

"Hmm, being followed again?"

Walking on the street, Xiao Lang sensed a gaze occasionally following him. There was no killing intent, though. He deliberately glanced at a mirror on the street and, upon seeing it was Uncle Fu, he relaxed.

But fearing Uncle Fu might get into danger by following him, he found Uncle Fu and said, "Uncle Fu, stop following me. Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Young Master, I'm not following you. I'm just out buying groceries." Uncle Fu hadn't expected Xiao Lang to discover him so quickly and tried to play dumb.

"One minute ago… ten minutes ago… half an hour ago, you also looked at Widow Wang who sells vegetables several times…"

Xiao Lang then recounted Uncle Fu's movements.

"……"

Uncle Fu's mouth twitched. Was I that obvious?

Who exactly is following whom?

"Cough, cough, I admit to everything before, but I deny the incident with Widow Wang." Uncle Fu said, his face not flushing.

"It's fine if you looked. Widow Wang is older, she'll know how to take care of you. You're old enough, you should find a woman to look after you too." Xiao Lang sat down, seeing that it was still early.

But as soon as he sat down, he felt someone staring at him again. He got up and said, "Alright, Uncle Fu, I have to go. Please don't follow me anymore."

"That won't do, Young Master. Besides me, someone else is following you too." Uncle Fu grabbed Xiao Lang's hand and wrote on the wooden table with his finger, his expression unchanged.

"I know, it's all my arrangement. Don't get involved. If you really must follow, just watch from the side." Xiao Lang still had feelings for the old man who had always taken care of him.

Initially, the person taking care of Xiao Lang was a maid. But after seeing that Xiao Lang was a good-for-nothing, she secretly mocked him everywhere. His father heard about it and fired the girl, then assigned Uncle Fu to follow him.

Uncle Fu didn't say anything about it and even comforted him, so Xiao Lang had a good impression of Uncle Fu.

He didn't want the other person to be in danger. Although he had a Dou Emperor Pill, it would be too wasteful to use it now.

"Since Young Master San said so, then this old man won't bother you anymore." Uncle Fu nodded and said, "I'll go back after I finish this pot of wine."

"Alright, then I'll go deal with this guy first." Xiao Lang downed the wine in front of him and got up, walking towards the alley with fewer people.

"Young Master San has finally grown up. I really should retire." Uncle Fu watched Xiao Lang's retreating back with a sigh. He then picked up the wine in front of him, squinted at the character on the table, and said coldly, "But this old man also wants to see who exactly wants to harm my Young Master San!"

"Finally, he's gone. Otherwise, it really wouldn't be easy for me to make a move."

Seeing Xiao Lang walk away alone, the assassin in the shadows breathed a sigh of relief. If that old man had been there, he wouldn't have had any chance to act, nor would he have dared to.

This was because he had already inquired about which Dou Grandmasters were in the Xiao family. That old man was one of them, and a Five-star Dou Grandmaster at that!

As a Nine-star Dou Master himself, he was no match for that person.

"Fang Chang, are you sure that kid is only a Three-star Dou Master?" the burly assassin asked the assassin beside him, Fang Chang.

"Definitely. If that kid wasn't a Three-star Dou Master, I could have killed him by myself!" Fang Chang said with a ferocious expression.

"Fang Chang, your ability to conceal your aura is quite impressive. I can't even sense the Dou Qi within you," the burly assassin said to Fang Chang with some surprise.

"I'll tell you after I kill this kid. Then you'll be like me, and no one will be able to sense the Dou Qi within you."

Fang Chang said with a calm expression, "But you have to give me an extra ten percent of the money!"

"No problem!"

The burly man smiled, clearly tempted.

Being able to perfectly conceal one's strength like this was definitely a divine skill for pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!

"That kid actually walked towards a place with fewer people. It's truly heaven helping me!" Seeing Xiao Lang walk into a deserted alley, the burly man's mouth curved upwards, revealing a confident smile.

I've got this 500,000!

"..."

Seeing the burly man's familiar expression and familiar lines, Fang Chang couldn't help but twitch his cheek.

Once upon a time, he too was a naive young man like him.
