Chapter 942: The Excellent War Commander Ke Yinlaoer

The Excellent War Commander Ke Yinlaoer

That's right, the Ke Yinlaoer from just a moment ago was indeed Cheng Shi.

He and Sun Miao had arrived at the left-wing military camp a step ahead by walking through the void. Of course, it wasn't Cheng Shi or Sun Miao who tore through the void, but Chun.

Upon learning of Ke Yinlaoer's location, Cheng Shi felt the opportunity to set the trap had arrived, so he contacted Chun immediately.

Although he hadn't left any way to contact Chun, he wasn't worried about losing touch with her, because he knew that as long as Sun Miao remained curious about that "Deconstruction Curse," she wouldn't let a target under observation leave her sight.

Sure enough, upon hearing Cheng Shi's request, she called Chun back at the first opportunity.

This former 【Prosperity】 God-Chosen was almost responsive to Cheng Shi's every request at this moment. When she learned the trap was aimed at Lin Xi, she didn't even hesitate to take the two of them and tear through the void directly to the left wing, shortening what would have been a night's journey into just a few hours.

Upon arrival, Cheng Shi's group quickly found Ke Yinlaoer. The timing he chose was very similar to Du Qiyu's—both snatched the real body during a gap in command. However, Cheng Shi's plan was more radical; he switched back to 【Deception】 to turn himself into Ke Yinlaoer, preparing to enter the trap himself to see what those two teammates he hadn't seen all day were plotting.

But entering the trap himself didn't mean putting himself in danger. Before the disguise, Cheng Shi had actually calculated all possible outcomes.

Chun was lurking near the military camp. If it were Lin Xi approaching, she wouldn't need anyone to warn her; she would smell the stench of the rat on Lin Xi at the first moment and engage him in battle.

But if it were Xiao Qi approaching, there was even less need to worry, because even if Xiao Qi arrived first, it definitely wouldn't be his true body. This wasn't overestimating Xiao Qi's caution, but rather that no beast tamer would expose themselves when a task could be completed using a tamed beast.

So, thinking it over, the worst-case scenario in this disguise was encountering Xiao Qi's tamed beast. Since that was the case, what was there to be afraid of?

If someone couldn't even handle a beast tamer's tamed beast now, let alone being mocked by the God of Fun, Cheng Shi himself could find a block of tofu and smash his head against it to die.

And so, Cheng Shi decisively replaced Ke Yinlaoer, becoming the commander of the Grand Judgment Court's left wing.

However, those operations of his weren't his own doing. For a slacker who was still cramming the history of the Star Fall Continent, asking him to command a large-scale legion battle he had never experienced before was a bit too demanding.

The various performances he had shown in the camp earlier were actually Ke Yinlaoer's original words.

That's right, Ke Yinlaoer was indeed an excellent combat commander; on this point, Cheng Shi and Xiao Qi's thoughts were surprisingly consistent.

Because it was precisely he who "persuaded" Ke Yinlaoer to help him complete this disguise so that outsiders wouldn't interfere too much with the Grand Judgment Court's various arrangements. And Ke Yinlaoer, before even hearing or seeing the subsequent development of the war, had written down these various military orders based on his own judgment, leaving Cheng Shi to just read them out.

A person's insight and control over local warfare were truly too unbelievable, to the point that Cheng Shi had even questioned whether the other party was surnamed Zhao when he received these military deployment orders.

But the knowledgeable Vice President of the History School, Sun Miao, after glancing at these operations, said this to Cheng Shi:

"Although I am not proficient in military strategic operations, I can see that if these defensive strategies are successfully implemented on the front line, not to mention repelling the enemy, at least there will be no problem in holding the front line without collapsing.

So, Lord Ke Yinlaoer, I am very curious, how did such excellent military insight and combat command ability of yours lead the Grand Judgment Court to decline like this?"

Ke Yinlaoer, who had been "invited to sit" in the chair, did not respond, but suddenly spoke after frowning and pondering for a moment:

"I am even more curious, you strangers seem to always be able to see the future clearly.

I don't know what kind of ability this is, nor do I know which evil god's gift it is, but I would like to ask, can you see the future of the Grand Judgment Court?"

Cheng Shi was just about to walk out of the big tent to play Ke Yinlaoer. Hearing this, he looked back and smiled: "Are you asking about the future of the Grand Judgment Court, or... the future of 【Order】?"

Ke Yinlaoer was stunned. A sharp glint flashed in those keen eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Both."

Cheng Shi chuckled, turned into Ke Yinlaoer's appearance, lifted the curtain, and walked out, saying as he walked:

"The Grand Judgment Court has no future. As for the future of 【Order】... it's probably on me."

As the voice fell, the figure disappeared.

Ke Yinlaoer watched the direction where Cheng Shi disappeared with burning eyes, carefully thinking about what he had said.

The future of 【Order】 is on him?

But he clearly disguised himself as me. Does that mean the future of 【Order】 is on me?

If so, then this path seems... not to have been taken wrongly!

Ke Yinlaoer's gaze became even more determined.

Sun Miao, who noticed this change, shook his head, picked up his electronic beeper, and typed:

"Don't be bewitched by him. The words this person says always have a magic that makes people believe them, but if you really believe them, you lose, Lord Ke Yinlaoer.

By then, you will be like me, becoming a 'beggar' who wants him to leak some secrets from his mouth at every moment."

Ke Yinlaoer raised his head slightly and looked at this lady holding a strange device.

"Then what inspiration can you give me, lady?"

Sun Miao paused and quickly typed: "I know too many things. If you want to buy information, please show your price first. Regardless of whether it is high or low, as long as it is appropriate, I can trade with you."

On the other side.

After scaring Xiao Qi away, Cheng Shi left the military camp, stood in a deserted corner at the edge of the highland, and stared blankly into the distance under the moonlight.

He had indeed detained one of Xiao Qi's tamed beasts, using the Molten Coffin that Xie Yang had given him.

Of course, the tamed beast stuffed into the Molten Coffin must have already died, and whether he could find clues to Xiao Qi's true body from this was still unknown. However, Cheng Shi wasn't thinking about these things right now; he was thinking about his relationship with Xiao Qi.

Admittedly, Xiao Qi had deceived him with a lie and stolen the "fate" that should have belonged to him.

But...

To be honest, everything Cheng Shi was currently experiencing and the beauty in his memories that he couldn't let go of were probably the fate he truly wanted to possess.

If he could do it all over again, he would definitely be willing to be deceived by Xiao Qi, because he only wanted to wait for that old man who pretended to be awkward to come and adopt him again.

But life never has a next time.

Therefore, Cheng Shi didn't have a bone-deep hatred for Xiao Qi; he didn't even know if it could be called hatred.

When he was left at the orphanage as a child and watched Du take Xiao Qi away, Cheng Shi didn't feel much hatred in his heart. At that time, he was still immersed in the epiphany of "how to use lies" and didn't have any other feelings.

Perhaps the sarcasm of the teachers and the standing up for justice by his little friends in his later life had left Cheng Shi with some regrets, but at most, that could only be considered the loss of a fun playmate, an indignation at Xiao Qi's betrayal of friendship. As for the rest, as the saying goes, this child had never been a person who dwelled on things since he was young.

Even if these vague conflicting emotions were counted as hatred, then this hatred... had long since vanished after Lao Jia moved that box of cola back.

So by now, in this present moment where even gods had become reality, Cheng Shi had long since let go of this so-called friendship and let go of this meaningless emotion.

Friendship was never one-sided. If one side committed betrayal, then it wasn't actually betrayal, but that friendship had never been established.

It was precisely out of this thought that Cheng Shi looked at Xiao Qi more like looking at a passerby who had accidentally walked with him for a period of time, and this passerby had even deceived him once, which could be considered "having the upper hand." However, judging from his observation of Xiao Qi in this trial, the other party didn't seem to think so.

His obsession was very heavy.

Then it became interesting. If Xiao Qi was really living a life as "well-fed, studying abroad, graduating from a prestigious school, and inheriting family property" as he claimed, then why would he be so unwelcoming to this "lower-class" playmate who had been teased and "defeated" by him in childhood, and even "picked up" by a scavenger old man?

Couldn't freedom, money, and time smooth over the scars in this world? Not to mention that even if there were scars between the two of them, they should be on himself...

So, this old friend who had deceived him with lies probably told another lie.

Tsk, he was indeed walking piously on the path of 【Deception】.

Just didn't know if he, being so pious, was happy walking it? ===== CHAPTER 943 =====
