Had I become the patriarch of a feudal household? (1/3)

No one knew the identity of the Deceiver, nor did anyone know what the Deceiver looked like, according to the general understanding of the priests of the Guifang Kingdom.

The Deceiver Myriad Transformations, appearing in different forms at different times and places.

The only certainty is that the Deceiver was a priest officially recognized by the Tufang Clan.

Even if it wasn't endowed with the power of the Tufang Clan, even if it hadn't undergone any formal training in the Guifang Kingdom...

But everyone knew that it was only because the Tufang Clan was still controlled by the Guifang Kingdom.

The Deceiver was acknowledged by the Tufang Clan, but not by the Guifang Kingdom and the Gods of the Five Directions.

"A priest who is not a priest?"

"And it also possesses the ability to Myriad Transformations?"

After listening to Mu Chuan's description, a figure naturally popped into Li Boyang's mind.

"Deception Rabbit?"

Clearly, Li Boyang wasn't the only one who realized this.

Hanging Silk Lady, who had been listening quietly, exclaimed in surprise, "That rabbit, who's full of lies and as timid as a mouse—is actually a priestess of a god?"

Staring wide-eyed in disbelief.

Hanging Silk Lady's shock also reflects, to some extent, Li Boyang's thoughts.

Anyone who knows Deception Rabbit would find it hard to believe that this guy who talks big all the time and seems completely unreliable is actually the priest appointed by the Tufang Clan, one of the Gods of the Five Directions.

"However, this does explain some of the situations."

Unable to help but recall some of the events that led him to infiltrate the Guifang Kingdom, Li Boyang fell into deep thought once again.

Li Boyang originally thought that Deception Rabbit was able to accurately know the warehouse where the Guifang Kingdom hid its grain because he had met the young priest, Xuan Ta.

As for how Deception Rabbit was able to become acquainted with the priests of the Guifang Kingdom?

Li Boyang took it as the other party's personal privacy and did not ask too many questions.

However, it now seems that Li Boyang's idea was completely based on preconceived notions and reversed cause and effect.

It was clearly because Deception Rabbit was a priest of the Tufang Clan that he had the opportunity to meet that rebellious young priest, and that everything that followed happened.

Do you know why that chosen priest is looking for the Deceiver?

After a brief moment of thought, Li Boyang asked this crucial question again.

Regardless of the current situation in the Guifang Kingdom.

The key question is why the Green Wood Clan sought a priest appointed by the Tufang Clan.

"Then I wouldn't know."

Despite his fear, Mu Chuan ultimately did not choose to lie to Li Boyang.

After all, if the other party really had the ability to see through the lie, Mu Chuan didn't want to end up in a more tragic situation because of this momentary cleverness.

The [God Mask] on his face turned back into a black shadow that obscured his features, and Li Boyang did not pursue the matter further.

He suddenly realized a problem, a very serious problem.

"Where is Deception Rabbit now?"

Xiu Ran turned his head to look into the depths of the mist, Li Boyang's voice sounding unusually low.

Upon seeing this scene, Mu Chuan was still blinking in confusion, but Hanging Silk Lady already felt a chill run down her spine.

Immediately following, as if in response to Hanging Silk Lady's feeling, a faint emerald green light emerged from the mist.

[Has that thing always been there?]

A thought flashed through her mind, Hanging Silk Lady's gaze toward the green light became even more wary.

When did Deception Rabbit leave?

Receiving no response for a long time, a look of realization flashed in Li Boyang's eyes.

The next second, the second-generation Nüman avatar, who looked like a green fairy, flew out of the mist.

She had been there the whole time and had overheard the conversation between Li Boyang, Hanging Silk Lady, and Mu Chuan; her face showed a look of deep concern.

"He left Mount Yunmeng last night."

Faced with Li Boyang's gaze, the Nüman a long time before finally obediently revealing the time when Deception Rabbit had left.

What did he say before he left?

Li Boyang's lips twitched slightly involuntarily. He wanted to blame the Nüman for covering up for him, but for a moment he didn't know where to begin.

It is well known that Deception Rabbit is capricious and never stays in one place for very long.

Only in the last three years has this been done in order to revive the Nüman.

Deception Rabbit patiently waited at Flying Peak until the rebirth of the second-generation Nüman.

He told me not to tell you about his departure for the time being.

"If you find out, just say he's going out to have some fun and will be back in a while."

When she said these words, the Nüman did not dare to look Li Boyang in the eye, and looked timid.

"You know that's not what I'm asking."

With a deep sigh, Li Boyang rubbed his temples, looking slightly troubled.

Despite being a physical form, the headache felt incredibly real.

This shows how much pressure Deception Rabbit and Nüman put on Li Boyang.

"I asked him about the real reason he left, not the excuses he made."

Although the Nüman's mind was not yet mature, her perception of the good and evil in people's hearts was innate.

It was impossible for Deception Rabbit Nüman, so he must have told her some of the truth.

"Well—he only said that he had gotten into some trouble before and needed to deal with it privately."

Nüman paused slightly, still not daring to look Li Boyang in the eye as she spoke.

"After he left last night, I actually followed him secretly, but he shook me off."

"In the end, all I could confirm was that he went in this direction, following the direction the Nüman was pointing."

That was precisely the direction from which Hanging Silk Lady and Mu Chuan had come.

Or to be more precise, that was the hunting ground of Hanging Silk Lady, and the place where Qing Qingfu finally called for the Green Wood Clan to descend.

"Deception Rabbit, will he be in danger?"

The Nüman flew timidly to Li Boyang's side, seemingly only realizing the seriousness of the situation at this moment.

Li Boyang glared at the barbarian Nüman, somewhat speechless, and wanted to say something.

But then I thought about how the other person was only less than a month old.

No matter how gifted someone is, it's impossible for them to have an overly mature mind.

Adding to the continued influence of those unreliable individuals like Xiluo, Deception Rabbit, and Li Jingshu, Li Boyang could only sigh in despair.

Even though my biological age is only seven or eight years old.

Why do I live like the patriarch of a feudal family now?

"It's alright, that guy Deception Rabbit has plenty of ways to save his life, he'll just learn a lesson at most."

After receiving Li Boyang's affirmative reply, the Nüman flapped her wings joyfully, without any doubt that he was just trying to comfort her.
