Chapter 166: Fake Person

The strange thing is that Piao Miao sometimes has a drastic change of personality.

Most of the time, Piao Miao is playful but not frivolous or unreliable. Sometimes, she becomes cold and comes and goes in a hurry, and such changes are very obvious.

When her attitude was normal, Ji Weihang asked her the reason.

Her explanation was that the secret realm would occasionally be damaged by collisions with the turbulence of time and space, and as the spirit of the secret realm, she would naturally be affected by the damage to the secret realm.

This convinced Ji Weihang at the time.

But now that I think about it...

Ji Weihang transmitted the message: "She was not affected by the secret realm many times, but the timing was always coincidental.

"The first time, I accidentally left the secret realm and met Yaohe coming back;

“The second time was when I stayed in the Weird Domain for a while and learned talismans.

"The third time was when I was about to break through and leave the secret realm to the strange domain.

"It seems like every time I accomplish something important, she becomes uncomfortable."

Fu Xuan transmitted his voice: "It sounds like the so-called time and space turbulence is more like representing you, sister."

"But why would I affect the secret realm?" Ji Weihang said, "The so-called Son of Destiny is a chess piece of the Heavenly Dao. Before reaching the top, it is impossible for me to affect the Heavenly Dao in turn. Especially those actions are not a big deal in the dimension of the whole world."

Fu Xuan didn't understand either, and tried hard to think of a solution, but to no avail.

"Ladies and gentlemen, your dishes are here." At this time, the waiter came with a one-meter-wide tray holding several large plates of dishes, and nimbly walked through the crowd and came to their table.

She placed the dishes on the table one by one.

"One plate of colorful steamed chicken, one plate of stewed beast meat, one plate of stir-fried Sui vegetables, two bowls of rice, and a jar of low-proof ice fruit wine. Enjoy your meal, both of you."

The plates are large and deep, as are the rice bowls.

"Thank you very much."

After receiving Ji Weihang's thanks, the waiter smiled and went to greet other people.

"I wanted to buy some snacks later, so I didn't order too many dishes." Fu Xuan took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick bucket in the middle of the table and winked at Ji Weihang.

Ji Weihang smiled and also picked up a pair of chopsticks, "As long as you are full, I don't need to eat too much."

If they eat as much as they want, they can eat a whole city, but they prefer to absorb spiritual energy rather than take in a lot of ordinary food. Ji Weihang has no extra appetite.

Before she reunited with Fu Xuan, she had not eaten normal food for a long time.

On the one hand, after the body transformation, her desires in all aspects naturally decreased a lot, and her thirst for pure energy increased; on the other hand, consuming too much ordinary food might affect her physical condition.

There are still a lot of impurities in food.

Fu Xuan didn't notice that she was distracted as he was looking at the colorful steamed chicken curiously. He didn't know how it was done, but the whole chicken was soaked in colors from head to tail and looked very bright. However, the colors that should have seemed poisonous actually had some kind of magical charm that gradually made people intoxicated.

Ji Weihang inserted chopsticks into the chicken body and pulled it apart. A thick bright red liquid gushed out from under the skin, like blood and fire. As it came into contact with the air, the faintly uncomfortable bright red color gradually deepened, slightly solidified, and turned reddish brown.

Fu Xuan dipped a little to taste it and said with a smile, "It smells good."

This is a reference to the fire of the phoenix, they can see it.

Ji Weihang picked up a piece of chicken soaked in the reddish-brown semi-liquid and put it into his mouth.

The strong aroma of the sauce suddenly explodes in your mouth, sweeping across your taste buds.

Not salty, mellow flavor.

not bad.

Ji Weihang took a few bites. The demon tribe not far behind her had finished eating and was ready to leave.

Although they came for the sign of the colorful steamed chicken, they did not overturn the store. After all, no one pointed at the dish and called it the Demon Emperor.

Both parties knew the situation well and lived in peace.

If the cultivator had not deliberately brought up this matter when the demons were present, the previous dispute would not have occurred.

After the monsters left, they quickly finished their meal and left.

On the street, Fu Xuan bought some snacks and ate them while walking. Occasionally, when he thought something was delicious, he would share it with Ji Weihang.

Slowly returning to Ming Tianbao's place, Zhong Lingxiu also came with the refining materials that she had collected and purchased.

He handed the Kun Gan Ring containing the refining materials to Ji Weihang, and after she counted and confirmed them, he prepared to leave in a hurry.

"Sister, I'm going to go out for a while." Fu Xuan said this and ran out.

This was the first time. Ji Weihang did not release her spiritual sense to follow Fu Xuan. Fu Xuan wanted to find Zhong Lingxiu and pester her about the Teng Snake bloodline. She had already said before that Fu Xuan wanted to find Zhong Lingxiu and pester her about the Teng Snake bloodline. As for whether Fu Xuan had other purposes, she had guessed it to some extent.

She looked around and began to arrange the refinery room. She wanted to make this place the way she was used to.

…

It was already late in the day, and there were not many demons working in the park, only guards were patrolling.

The figure running out of the Rising Sun Courtyard instantly attracted the attention of the patrol team.

The figure chased after the green figure that had not yet gone far away and shouted, "Sister, wait a moment."

The green-haired figure was clearly Elder Zhong Lingxiu, and the demons looked at that side with some curiosity.

As soon as he left the Xuri Courtyard, Fu Xuan saw Zhong Lingxiu's figure which was still there and a patrol team coming along the road not far away, so he deliberately ran towards Zhong Lingxiu to attract attention.

Seeing that his voice was useless, Zhong Lingxiu walked faster and faster, and Fu Xuan shouted again: "Elder Lingxiu, wait a moment!"

This voice was deafening in the quiet garden. It would be too much to pretend not to hear it. Zhong Lingxiu had to stop and turned to Fu Xuan who was running in front of her and said, "What's the matter? I'm in a hurry to go shopping."

Fu Xuan glanced around and said in a low voice: "I want to talk to you about bloodline. We humans are definitely not as clear about the affairs of the demon race as you are. Why do you think the Demon Emperor chose the Teng Snake bloodline? What is so special about the Teng Snake bloodline?"

Zhong Lingxiu asked: "Why do you think I would tell you such a clan secret?"

Fu Xuan said: "You also feel that there is something wrong, otherwise, why would you act like you don't know me? Have you forgotten? You saved a six-year-old girl by the Bixu River. That little girl was me."

Zhong Lingxiu's expression remained unchanged: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"No way." Fu Xuan said, "You must think there is something fishy about this, right? How come the little girl you accidentally saved is of the Teng Snake bloodline? You suspect there is a deeper conspiracy behind this, so you keep silent about it. If you don't know what I'm talking about..."

"-Why do you want to set up the barrier on purpose?" She smiled and raised her hand, extending it outward.

When she noticed her hand passing through the thin barrier, her smile widened.

Zhong Lingxiu was silent for two seconds, then slowly said, "Teng Snake is in charge of punishment and justice. When facing those who violated the rules of Queen Wa, she is ruthless and fierce. When facing ordinary monsters, she treats them peacefully, which is highly respected by the monsters. But in the eyes of the human race, Teng Snake is undoubtedly a cruel official.

"The blood of the Teng Snake contains an unquenchable desire that burns all evil, as well as a deep desire to die for one's confidant.

“…That’s all I have to say.”

"I understand." Fu Xuan said, "Then how did you know this?"

Zhong Lingxiu said: "The Emperor's Shadow Tower has the most abundant collection of books in the demon race. As an elder, I can read as I please."

Fu Xuan nodded to show that she understood. Perhaps because she saw that Zhong Lingxiu was quite talkative, or perhaps because she suddenly had an idea, she asked, "Where did you get the news that the Kunling Elders would use the Unity Curse fifty years ago?"

Zhong Lingxiu did not answer "no comment" or "demon clan", but said thoughtfully: "During that time, I entered a mysterious place, and there was a white ball of light that said it could fulfill my wish..."

After looking at Zhong Lingxiu seriously for a moment, Fu Xuan reacted, shuddered suddenly, and jumped back ten meters.

——Isn’t that just a game!?

If Zhong Lingxiu has entered the game, is the current Zhong Lingxiu still "Zhong Lingxiu"?

Seeing her step back suddenly, Zhong Lingxiu smiled, closed her mouth, turned and left.

After staring at Zhong Lingxiu's departing back for a while in a trance, Fu Xuan came to his senses, ran back to the Rising Sun Courtyard, and said to Ji Weihang who was doing preparatory work in the weapon refining room: "Sister, Zhong Lingxiu also participated in the game! She may not be herself now! Quick, quick, check my memory."

After synchronizing Fu Xuan's memory, the vague sense of disharmony in Ji Weihang's mind seemed to dissipate, and he whispered, "Ying Feiqiong."

Fu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "Yes, Ying Feiqiong had already died in Yougui. Logically speaking, the one you killed after leaving the game, sister, should not have been her, but a replacement in the game..."

Ji Weihang frowned, "But I think that is Ying Feiqiong."

Fu Xuan refuted her for the first time: "Sister, you didn't recognize that Zhong Lingxiu was fake, so it's possible that you didn't recognize Ying Feiqiong."

...That's right. Ji Weihang nodded and said, "It's normal that we are not the first batch of players of the game. I have thought about it. But except for those like Ren Fengpan who can sense blood, it is difficult to identify others. If you want to find those fake people created by the game among billions of people and monsters, it is difficult to catch them without a real suspect."

Fu Xuan recalled the scene when he forced the fake Mu Qiao, and said, "Yes." Then he said solemnly, "Could it be that everyone on the continent has been replaced?"

Ji Weihang shook his head. "Not likely. If the players selected in the game are the same as this time, the selection should not be too ordinary."

Thinking that the players in this game are all the sons of the demon clan and the demon clan, Fu Xuan nodded in agreement and thought of something, "If that's the case, we can just select from the young talents."

Ji Weihang rubbed his forehead and said, "This is not something that the two of us can accomplish for now. We must find help."

"How can we be sure that the helper is reliable?" It would be a bit embarrassing if the person who replaced him was found to be the one responsible.

"The people who are still participating in the game are the main body."

"Then there are only Jiang Wen, Gui Wen, Li Wenxin, and Bai Jiyue. As for Yao He, we didn't see her in two games, so we can't be sure whether she has completed the game." Fu Xuan counted and said, "Except Li Wenxin, the others are in the same city as us."

Gui Yan and Bai Jiuyue joined the vanguard of the eight major sects against the demon clan, and Jiang Yan was in Ji Weihang's Chaos Furnace.

"Could this also be expected in the game?" Fu Xuan looked up suspiciously, feeling as if an invisible being was watching his every move.

"Maybe." Ji Weihang hummed, and asked as if he was talking to himself, "Why did the game tell us this?"

If Zhong Lingxiu hadn't deliberately shown it, the disguise would have been perfect.

"...Provocation?" Fu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Come to think of it, if this fake person," she directly adopted the name of the fake person that Ji Weihang had used before, "--what he said is true, then Zhong Lingxiu got the false information about Elder Kunling from You Xi fifty years ago."

"If so, the information channel shared by Bai Zhiyu and Ying Feiqiong is likely to be a game..."

She looked at the silent Ji Weihang hesitantly and said cautiously, "Doesn't that mean that Bai Zhiyu and Ying Feiqiong had already participated in the game fifty years ago?"

If this is the case, then from the very beginning, the people Bai Zhiyu and Ying Feiqiong killed by Sister Weihang were not themselves.

In her eyes, a smile slowly appeared on Ji Weihang's face, and his red eyes seemed to be dancing with a fire that almost made her heart stop.

"It seems like this is a declaration of war against us."
