Chapter 131

Tragic ‘life story’

After hearing this, You XiaoMo’s first reaction is to sigh loudly. It’s unexpected that just one case of theft is actually a result of such a complicated matter.

Although it has been a long time, You XiaoMo still has an impression of this Pu Chan because he is the first one to antagonize Ling Xiao ever since he first met Ling Xiao. Furthermore, he was very aggressive. But, when he was at WuShuang mountain, he heard that Uncle Pu Chan’s relationship with the Grand Master is as close as brothers.

“Little brother, not everything is as it seems on the surface.”

One look, and Ling Xiao can tell what he is thinking, laughing out loud.

“What kind of deep seated hatred do they have between them?”

You XiaoMo asks curiously. He feels that Ling Xiao appears to know everything so he can’t help asking.

“How would I know!”

Ling Xiao shrugs and reclines slightly on the bedpost. He narrows his eyes, adopting a languid posture. He is not a know it all. Also he has no interest in the grudges between Tang Fan and Pu Chan so he didn’t bother to investigate.

For now, the matter with the traitor is settled but the stolen magic pill formula can’t be retrieved immediately.

TianXin sect can’t drag Pu Chan out to accuse Luo ChengYuan. Firstly, they can’t wash their dirty laundry in public. Secondly, Luo ChengYuan, that wily old fox also wouldn’t admit it. He might even turn the tables on them, claiming that they are putting on a show, trying to frame QingCheng sect. Furthermore, TianXin sect never made public that they have that magic pill formula so this puts them at a disadvantage.

But the magic pill formula must be retrieved. Otherwise, if QingCheng sect manages to refine the level nine magic pill from that magic pill formula, TianXin sect will really become QingCheng sect’s stepping stone and sacrificial victim.

Luckily it is not easy to find the magic herbs required for level nine magic pills. Even if QingCheng sect has the magic pill formula, they can’t immediately refine a magic pill. But the paradise realm is about to open, and there are countless magic herbs inside. QingCheng sect will definitely send people inside to look and maybe they will find them.

So Tang Fan and the Elders decided that they will take advantage of this trip to the paradise realm to not only cut off all chances of them getting level nine magic herbs, but also to deliver a huge blow to QingCheng sect.

But because the people that are allowed to enter the paradise realm are restricted by their power, Tang Fan decided to take advantage of these remaining three months to let Ling Xiao and Zhou Peng increase their power as fast as possible. When the time comes, he will give them an assignment.

“Elder brother Ling, that assignment can’t be to kill off QingCheng disciples. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the people that underwent the evaluation with me at that time.”

Ling Xiao stares at the guilty look on his face, and laughs suddenly, saying sweetly, “Little brother, do you think I will believe your words?”

” ……. no.”

The fake smile on You XiaoMo’s face crumbles in an instant as he speaks in a disheartened tone. One look at the expression on Ling Xiao’s face and the tone of his voice, he knows that he will definitely not believe his words.

Ling Xiao beams as he grips his shoulder and rubs his head gently while saying in a soft voice, “Little brother is very obedient. Now is the time for truthful words. You must have heard of the saying ‘Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist’. Don’t make me use my special ways.”

The word ‘special’ is said with added emphasis.

You XiaoMo is dripping with sweat on the inside. Not only has he heard these words before, they are words that are extremely familiar to him. In his past life, they were uttered by his older and younger brothers. In this life, they are from Ling Xiao. Indeed there is no escaping this fate even after changing worlds.

So, his very last secret must be revealed?

No. As a member of the younger generation of the 21st century, he inherited an ‘exemplary’ trait, that is ——- telling lies!

What is the ultimate art of lying? Slipping in one false word among nine truthful words. Although this is a worn out trick in the 21st century, known by almost everyone, but don’t forget, this is Long Xiao continent, a different world, a totally unscientific world!

So, You XiaoMo weaves an extremely tragic ‘life story’. He turns himself into ‘You XiaoMo’s’ twin brother whose body died before birth. In the end, he ended up sharing the same body as his twin brother. His brother didn’t know of his existence but he was aware of his brother’s existence. But because his brother is the main host, he as the weaker host is unable to manifest himself. Right up to the time when his brother received a huge blow, causing him to drop dead. Only then did he manage to assume control of his brother’s body.

That is pretty much the story he weaves. In fact, all ten words are lies.
