Chapter 263: Mouth Brother, you!!!!!!!!

Mouth Brother, you!!!!!!!!

As everyone knows, gossip is the ladder of human progress.

Driven by the urge to watch the drama, everyone seemed to have forgotten that this was a 【Prosperity】 trial located underground. One by one, they stared at Cheng Shi, just wanting to know what kind of morally corrupt and twisted story had occurred between this unlucky fellow they were all thinking about and Zhen Yi.

Cheng Shi dared not let this atmosphere of "thirst for knowledge" continue. He gave a light cough and shifted the topic very stiffly:

"The Sighing Forest is full of dangers, and the Sighing Mourning Tide doesn't even have a set time for when it might arrive. Shouldn't we get moving first and go find that 【Prosperity】 trial objective that shouldn't exist underground?"

This was a very pertinent and on-topic suggestion, but no one responded to him. Xiang Honglin even shook her head with a smile:

"Don't be in such a rush. I don't think everyone is in a hurry to find the objective right now. Why don't you tell us about you and Zhen Yi first?"

Cheng Shi was speechless.

The Historian seemed to agree deeply, even taking out his history book and looking at him with an expectant face.

"......"

Huh? How the hell could this be a proper Brother Shiguan?

Seeing this, Xiang Honglin smiled even more happily:

"Don't be shy. Everyone here, to a greater or lesser extent—well, I can't say it like that. Never mind others, at least this stinky bird has definitely been scammed by Zhen Yi.

To tell the truth, I've also suffered quite a few losses at her hands.

Just treat this as a support group for patients. Share your experiences of being scammed. Knowing how this swindler scams people is the only way to better counter her swindling, isn't it?"

"......"

Goddamn support group for patients. I have nothing to share. I can't exactly tell you that all the gossip you want to know was made up by me...

"Hmm? Is it inconvenient for you to say?" As Xiang Honglin smiled, her gaze suddenly turned sharp. She looked in Cheng Shi's direction and abruptly raised her wooden spear. "Interesting. This kind of harmless fun is just to make everyone laugh. If you're even hiding this... I'm even more curious. What exactly are you trying to hide?

Or rather, is what you're trying to hide really an experience related to Zhen Yi?

This swindler has never 'introduced' someone with such fanfare before. Her acting out of character to do this makes one think a layer deeper.

Tell me, is it possible that this swindler doesn't have a new flame at all, but is creating a new identity for herself!?

You wouldn't happen to be that swindler, would you!

Zhen Yi!?"

As soon as the words fell, a whistling long spear shot toward the top of Cheng Shi's head.

Cheng Shi's gaze narrowed, and he tilted his body slightly to dodge the strike.

He could tell that this 【Prosperity】 Chosen One had truly been scared to death by Zhen Yi's scams. She had to confirm anything related to Zhen Yi multiple times. However, her line of thinking wasn't wrong. If it were him, he would also have to think carefully about whether he was being scammed again or if he had encountered a new swindling tactic.

Moreover, the other party's strike was more of a probe than an attack; it had no real force behind it and wasn't a precursor to a falling out.

But I want to say, sister, you're a bit too paranoid.

What kind of insane thing did Zhen Yi do to you to make you become this sensitive?

It wasn't just Xiang Honglin; the gazes of everyone present became somewhat cautious. Looking at them, it seemed that if Cheng Shi didn't refute it, he would immediately become the target of public criticism and "become" the real Zhen Yi.

Seeing the situation heading toward collapse just as the trial began, Cheng Shi cursed inwardly but was helpless. He could only frantically fabricate new lies in his brain, trying to deal with this situation first.

But just as he was brainstorming frantically, that mouth that couldn't bear to be lonely suddenly spoke without warning.

"·Hee~ What a pity, you actually found out!"

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

With just this one sentence, the whole scene exploded!

Exploded with fright!

Cheng Shi's brain went "Buzz—" and turned blank. He even forgot to scold Mouth Brother for the first time. He only felt as if his head had been struck by a thunderbolt; plasma raged unreasonably from his crown to his soles, and his whole body went numb and stiff.

If Xiang Honglin were to throw even a powerless long spear like she just did, she could probably nail Cheng Shi to the spot.

But would she?

No!

Because her reaction was even more distorted than Cheng Shi's!

Before the Lips of Foolish Play had even finished the whole sentence and only spat out a "Hee," she subconsciously tensed up, her pupils shrank, and her brain buzzed as if ten thousand acres of wild thunder had bombed through it.

She didn't actually think Cheng Shi was Zhen Yi; she just felt that this person might not be simple, so she wanted to probe him. But she never expected that this probe would actually test out a Zhen Yi!

He was actually Zhen Yi!?

Similar, too similar!

No, can't say similar, it was exactly the same. This punchable tone was hard for anyone to imitate!

There was probably no one in this world who dared to imitate it.

Thus, Xiang Honglin's complexion darkened visibly to the naked eye. She clenched her fists and immediately began to guard against him from left and right.

The others present were no better off.

Bird Feather Brother's legs tightened, and both hands reached into his feather cloak, gripping something tightly.

The Historian shuddered all over, his history book fell to the ground in fright, and he scrambled backward.

The Cold-Faced Assassin widened his eyes and silently hid behind a tree.

The Puppet Master's royal sister puppet took a stance, immediately protecting the main body.

Stunned, everyone was scared silly.

But no one was sillier than Cheng Shi!

Because he discovered that the trial had just begun, and the sky had collapsed—and it was collapsed by a mouth blabbering.

What to do? What to do? What to do?

Save me! Save me! Save me!

Seeing that this 【Prosperity】 trial was about to turn into 【War】, Cheng Shi's brain power was fully activated, his thoughts turning rapidly. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck, and he actually thought of a way to turn the tide!

He looked at the shocked and angry Xiang Honglin with an air of indifference, squeezed out a harmless smile as if that sentence hadn't been said by him at all, and then spread his hands and said:

"Look, it's probably because of this that that crazy woman goes around badmouthing me to take revenge.

And this is the story between her and me."

"?????????????????????"

As fearful as the scene was just now, that's how confused the scene was now.

Everyone looked at Cheng Shi in disbelief, all judging whether this was a real explanation or a novel swindling tactic.

Xiang Honglin's brows were tightly furrowed. She looked at Cheng Shi with a solemn gaze and also said in disbelief:

"You... are not Zhen Yi?"

"Not!" Cheng Shi replied quickly.

He was afraid that if he hesitated for a second, Mouth Brother would give him another "Yes," and then he would truly be unable to clear his name.

"You mean, you once impersonated that swindler?" ===== CHAPTER 264 =====
