Chapter 3095: Identity in Doubt! The Heaven-Blessed Bard Must Be Fake, Right?

He absolutely could not show any abnormality, because if Wang Canghai sensed something was off, he might take out Xue Long on the spot.

But if his disguise was good enough, then no matter how Wang Canghai judged in his own mind whether Xue Long had noticed anything, the other man would not act rashly.

Because doing so would only alert the enemy; at least as far as Zhang Lin was concerned right now, this was the most relatively perfect plan.

Using such a plan he could seize all the initiative. Although earlier even Wang Canghai had assumed most of the initiative was in Zhang Lin's hands, this judgment now came from Zhang Lin himself.

But these initiatives were still not everything—he needed to seize more!

Only then could Zhang Lin handle what came later more perfectly. Although he was not a perfectionist in the absolute sense, if innocent lives were lost because of his own misjudgment, Zhang Lin would feel bad about it too.

Right now every member of Archaeology Team Two felt an inexplicable tension, and in Zhang Lin's view, if he chose to let certain deviations appear—

It would make the road ahead even harder for them to control. This was Zhang Lin's most firmly held judgment, and he also believed this approach was the best one.

Looking at Archaeology Team Two on the other hand, everyone turned to look at Ake. At this moment Yang Lusi shook her head; Ake remained silent. This was something Yang Lusi had already anticipated.

Perhaps this had always been Ake's way of dealing with everyone. If at this moment Ake really started talking at length, that would be the strange thing.

The reason Ake held such an attitude was that he was certain if Zhang Lin returned to the Crescent Moon Restaurant again, he would definitely give Archaeology Team Two the corresponding instructions right away.

Perhaps the answers this place itself revealed, Zhang Lin would also speak out. And Ake had indeed previously discovered clues within his own long poem, but right now he did not want to overstep his role.

He also firmly believed that what he said was absolutely not the most comprehensive. Rather than having Zhang Lin fill in everything back and forth throughout the whole process, it was better to stay silent now.

And soon Yang Lusi noticed this clue. Just as she was about to speak, Wang Kaixuan yawned.

With some impatience he said: "Ake, are you really a Heaven-Blessed Bard? Or is that identity of yours fake in the first place?"

Hearing these words, Ake did not continue to stay silent. He chanted a Buddhist invocation, and then—

Without hesitation he said: "A monk does not speak falsehoods. I would not lie about such a thing—I am the Heaven-Blessed Bard!"

Yang Lusi hurriedly said at this point: "Ake, I can see what you're thinking. Even if what you say isn't comprehensive, you can still tell us simply what's going on, right? Earlier Mr. Zhang said that thing was probably a mirage, and there's a reason he didn't give a specific answer. Maybe tonight at the Crescent Moon Restaurant he'll tell us the specifics."

"And the secrets revealed by this tomb—we're completely in the dark right now. When Mr. Zhang first had us find you, it was because your long poem could help us solve many problems. But looking at your state now, it seems you still want to hold things back—that's a bit unfair."

Yang Lusi's words left Ake stunned for a moment. Then Ake could not help but sigh. In fact, he could swear right now that he stayed silent out of good intentions, and was also worried that saying the wrong thing would bring uncontrollable trouble to the archaeology team.

After all, with things having reached this point, some people and some changes had already far exceeded his expectations.

At first, when Ake joined Archaeology Team Two, he had assumed his role would be indispensable—at the very least, the long poem he possessed could give the team plenty of guidance.

Including the earlier Black Tiger Mysterious Altar, he believed no one else recognized it, since it was mentioned in his own account.

But he had not expected that inside the Crescent Moon Restaurant, Zhang Lin really was an encyclopedia of the tomb. He was also very familiar with the Demon Kingdom's culture. Although Zhang Lin had wrapped things up very hastily before, even deliberately unwilling to mention those matters—

The details had not escaped Ake. He firmly believed the other man must have a fundamental reason for speaking that way, which meant the other man had already thought some things through beforehand.

He intended to use this point to deliberately dig a pit for the troublemaker behind the scenes. Once this pit was set, everything would return to peace—Ake was more certain of this than anyone.

Precisely because he was certain of this, Ake did not want to talk about those messy things now. Sometimes staying silent was the best choice; saying too much would backfire.

Say more, err more; disaster comes from the mouth!

A monk like Ake understood this principle even more clearly. Although he had not practiced the Silence Samadhi, this mindset had always been carried forward by Ake.

Hearing Yang Lusi say this now, Ake felt rather helpless, not even knowing what choice to make.

And the next moment Ake immediately said: "Captain Yang, actually I think that Mr. Zhang finding me was completely unnecessary. The guidance I can give you is very little. Although there are records in the long poem, before this I also believed that perhaps my presence really could help you solve many problems."

"But I soon gave up on that idea, because that Mr. Zhang had already analyzed the problems very clearly. I could tell from the details that the fundamental reason for what he said was that he understood the history of the Demon Kingdom even better than I do."

"I am the Heaven-Blessed Bard, that's true, but the long poem in my hands may also be one-sided. Perhaps that Mr. Zhang really knows the whole thing!"

Ake's words all came from his own subjective analysis, but at the same time he was not being deliberately modest—his heart truly thought this way.

Since that was the case, he just said it outright. Ake did not want to hold back on this matter, and he also firmly believed that this matter must continue to develop in this direction afterward.

Wang Canghai, who was still watching the livestream, raised an eyebrow at this moment, completely not expecting Ake to hold such thoughts. In fact, Wang Canghai had assumed from the start that Zhang Lin finding this Heaven-Blessed Bard was nothing more than a Deception Technique—the help he could bring to Archaeology Team Two was minimal.

And Ake being in Archaeology Team Two was just to draw fire. The special skills he possessed could help solve some small problems, but in reality he offered no help whatsoever to the team's larger operations.
