Ji Yishuai stared at the seven crooked characters on the paper, and blinked thirty-three times.
Congratulations, hero. You have cleared the level.
……
This sentence still didn’t change.
Ji Yishuai only felt a taste of metallic sweetness rushing to his throat, and the blood all over his body seemed to burst forth.
“You people!!!” Ji Yishuai squeezed the secret book in his hand into a ball, gritted his teeth and asked Ling Long, “Where did you hide the real secret book?!”
Compared with Ji Yishuai’s outburst, Ling Long seemed to be much calmer and relaxed. “The book in your hand is the real secret book.”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Ji Yishuai’s eyes were red and he roared at Ling Long, “What kind of secret book is this?!”
“He’s not talking nonsense.” Yin Yin stood up from her chair. “Yours is indeed a real secret book, one of its kind –a genuine goods at a fair price.”
“Bah!” Ji Yishuai just wanted to refute Yin Yin fiercely, but as quick as a spark from a flint, there was a scene of springtime in his head –oh, no, there was a sudden enlightenment. “There is no secret book at all. This is a game you’ve set right from the start!”
Yin Yin unexpectedly glanced at Ji Yishuai and said regretfully, “It would be nice if you had found it out earlier.”
Ji Yishuai: “……”
Yin Yin cleared her throat and said frankly, “You are right. From the very beginning, there is no <<Bronze Manual>>. It was just made up by me.”
“No!” Ji Yishuai suddenly had another burst of enlightenment. “You’re trying to deceive me again! If there is no <<Bronze Manual>> at all, how does that explain the man in black?! His martial art is not a bluff!”
Ling Long said, “Of course the man in black is my subordinate.”
“Bullshit!” Ji Yishuai exploded directly into foul language. “When do you have a man with such good martial arts?!”
Ling Long looked at Ji Yishuai for a moment and then finally chuckled lightly. “Just one wouldn’t do, a few should be right.”
These words made Ji Yishuai dazed and he stood in place with a still expression. “What do you mean?”
Ling Long also got up from the chair and stood next to Yin Yin. “All of you come out.”
In the entrance hall, with three whooshing sounds, three shadows swept in from the door and knelt in front of Ling Long neatly. “Leader.”
Ling Long nodded at them. “Get up.”
The three stood up as ordered. Ji Yishuai looked at the three people in black who were very similar in height, figure and even clothing, and felt his breath becoming unstable.
Ling Long walked up to the three men and said to Ji Yishuai, “I’ll introduce Leader Ji.” He pointed to the first man in black. “This is Hongwei. He is good at using the sword. Even if the speed of his sword is not the number one in the Jianghu, but it can also count as second best. He robbed the goods from the Far East Escort Agency.”
Then he pointed to the man in the middle. “This is Huaxie. He is as light as a swallow. He himself claims that the person who can catch up with him has not been born yet, and many confidential information of the Spider Web is collected by relying on his lightness skill. He stole the crab roe buns in the Second Prince’s room.”
“The last one……” Ling Long took a few steps forward. “He is a little brother who is in charge of making fire in our Spider Webs’ kitchen. He has no special skills but he has great strength. The work that ten people can do in a day, he can do it alone. He was the one who won against Hu Dadao.”
……
Yin Yin couldn’t wait to get in front of Ji Yishuai and asked, “How is it? Are you satisfied? This is the most exciting part of the whole plan!”
Ji Yishuai: “……”
His mind is blank .
After a long time, the stiff Ji Yishuai finally found his voice, “Then, there is still Lian Xianlai. How can you explain him?!”
Ling Long said, “The Jiuhua Sect does have a lost martial arts, but it is not the <<Bronze Manual>>. Because of its low level of martial arts, the Jiuhua Sect is not valued in the Jianghu. But after all the fuss about the <<Bronze Manual>>, of course, their status cannot be mentioned in the same breath.”
“S-so, you conspired against me?!”
“Conspiracy sounds too ugly. We call it ‘each taking what one needs’.”
“……Y-you are deceiving the whole Wulin!”
Ling Long smiled and said, “It is not us who deceived the whole Wulin, but you.”
“Why is that?!” Ji Yishuai’s figure was as thin as a tiny boat in the lake.
“I have ordered people to spread the news that you found the <<Bronze Manual>>. What you need to consider now is how to create it for the people in the Jianghu.”
This is truly a word to awaken the dreamer.
A Wulin secret book reappears in the Jianghu. Various sects and factions will definitely compete with each other, and the one who has the <<Bronze Manual>> will imperceptibly become the center of the competition.
“It turns out…… this is your real goal.” Ji Yishuai’s face was pale, and his lips trembled as he looked at Ling Long. “Such a foresighted layout, huh, Ling Long. You really have a smart and perceptive mind.”
“Hehe.” Yin Yin smiled shyly. “Actually, I came up with this idea.”
Ji Yishuai: “……”
“Oh, right, it’s not just this.” Yin Yin proudly lifted her brows. “Do you remember the mysterious person who bet a lot of money on you? In fact, that person is me. Haha, I am the only one who bet on you and made a lot of money! Thank you~”
Ji Yishuai: “……”
The frail Ji Yishuai can no longer withstand any surprise.
Ling Long glanced at him and gave him a final blow. “Leader Ji, even if you go out now and say that you don’t have the <<Bronze Manual>> no one will believe you. They will only think that you are trying to keep the secret book for yourself. So…… I suggest you find a place to live in seclusion, and you’d better withdraw from the Jianghu.”
Ji Yishuai: “……”
“Pa!” ——This is the sound of the <<Bronze Manual>> falling to the ground.
“Thunk!” ——This is the sound of Ji Yishuai falling to the ground.
……
“He won’t die, right?” Yin Yin pulled the corner of Ling Long’s clothes with some worry.
“No worries.” Ling Long shouted towards the door, “Huaxie, send Leader Ji back to Ichneumon Wasps.”
“Yes!” Huaxie appeared in response, picked up Ji Yishuai from the ground, and flashed out the door.
After both Huaxie and Ji Yishuai disappeared from the room, Ling Long turned and looked at Yin Yin. “Faintly, where is the money you’ve won?”
Yin Yin immediately covered her chest and stepped back. “What do you want to do?”
Ling Long took a step forward. “Leave it to me for safekeeping.”
“Why?!” Yin Yin took another step back. “It hasn’t warmed up in my hands yet!”
“It doesn’t matter. I will help you warm them up.” Ling Long pressed harder.
“I won’t, I won’t!” Yin Yin would rather die than surrender.
Ling Long was about to carry out the execution on the spot, when Helian Kong’s splendid voice like a pig being killed came from far away, “Ling Long! Ling Long!” Helian Kong rushed in while panting. “I……I just heard that it was your men who stole my crab roe bun?!”
Ling Long nodded. “En. He’s gone to Ichneumon Wasps now.”
“What? He joined Ichneumon Wasps?!” Obviously, Helian Kong got it all wrong.
Ling Long nodded calmly. “Mm.”
So Helian Kong went to Ichneumon Wasps fuming with anger.
Yin Yin: “……”
She suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Ji Yishuai.
“Ling Long, you are so evil ah.” Yin Yin sighed from the bottom of her heart.
Ling Long glanced sideways at Yin Yin. “Hand in the money you won earlier.”
“Why, why, why!!!” Yin Yin also activated her roaring skills. “Aren’t all the properties supposed to be handed in by the husband?!”
Ling Long’s eyes narrowed. “Why do you want so much money for?”
“I…… I, –can’t I keep a pretty boy?!” As soon as this sentence came out of her mouth, Yin Yin regretted it.
She felt that she might become the second Ji Yishuai.
“Yin! Yin!” Ling Long’s face turned black and in the blink of an eye he stood in front of Yin Yin.
Yin Yin now feels that she has only one way to survive, and that is to pretend to lose consciousness!
But just as she had adjusted her emotions, her sight really blackened and she fainted.
“Faintly!” The last thing Yin Yin saw was Ling Long’s anxious expression.
Everything was very quiet.
Yin Yin was very familiar with this feeling. Since she came to this world, it has happened more than once.
But this time it was a little different.
In the past, every time she dreamed, there would be some kind of a catalyst –like being poisoned or falling off a cliff. But this time, she passed out without warning.
And the most different thing is that in countless previous dreams, Ji Ting had never appeared in front of her.
But now, Ji Ting is sitting there on the big leopard-print sofa they bought together, looking at her with a smile in her eyes.
Yin Yin subconsciously held her breath. She was afraid, but she couldn’t tell what she was afraid of.
She looked at Ji Ting, pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled. “L-long time no see ah, Ji Ting.”
Ji Ting pushed the glasses on her face and replied with a smile, “It may have been a long time for you, but for me, it has only been a week.”
“A week?” Yin Yin’s heart jumped wildly. “I’ve only disappeared for a week?”
“No, Xin’er,” Ji Ting shook her head gently. “you’ve never disappeared.”
Yin Yin’s hand tightly clenched into a fist, and her teeth bit into her lower lip. There seemed to be a sudden emptiness in her heart that was gradually expanding.
“I know you have a lot of questions. I’m here today to tell you what exactly happened.” Ji Ting pushed the glasses up on her face again. Yin Yin knew that this is a small gesture Ji Ting loves to do. Every time she got nervous, she will subconsciously push on her glasses.
“I think you must have thought you have traveled through the novel I wrote?”
Yin Yin’s eyebrows moved. “Isn’t that the case?”
Ji Ting contemplated for a while and said, “I can’t say that it’s not. But have you ever thought about this so called transmigration? What is its ontology?”
“Ontology?” Yin Yin’s mouth pulled a weak smile. “Ji Ting, I remember I told you, I hate physics.”
Hearing this, Ji Ting couldn’t help but chuckle. “All right. Crossing over, especially transmigration, which is your situation, is originally a very illusory thing. Have you never doubted that this is only a dream?”
Yin Yin doesn’t even have the strength to fake a smile now. “You don’t mean to tell me that these are all just dreams of mine, right?!”
Ji Ting shook her head. “Of course not. What I’m trying to tell you is, it is also a dream I made you have.”
“Can you make it simpler?” Yin Yin was indescribably upset. “<<All for Prosperity>> is a novel you wrote, right? Is it possible that this is also my dream?”
“No, of course not. I did write this novel.”
“Yes, that’s right, you wrote it, and you set the world into an infinite loop mode!” Speaking of this, Yin Yin wanted to talk about life with Ji Ting again.
After listening to her words, Ji Ting finally put away the smile that had always been on her face and her eyes sank. “Xin’er, haven’t you found out yet? It’s not the world in the novel that has been circulating, but the real world.”
