Having learned from his first experience, Diao Yu became more confident and was determined to show himself off to Nan Xian.
So in the following game, everyone saw that the ball seemed to be controlled by "Yu Lin". It would run in the direction he pointed. Even when Lang Zhuo almost blew it into the goal several times, the ball just "coincidentally" missed it and grazed the edge of the goal.
"The red team has scored another point!"
"Oh no, the Blue Team was just a hair's breadth away!"
During the preparation time before the final game, Diao Yu was thinking about what move to use to score a goal in order to make him look cool. His gaze turned and he happened to meet Nan Xian's gaze.
Nan Xian's expression was complicated, as if she was both investigating and looking at him with confusion and thought. The moment he looked over, she immediately put on a smile and nodded at him approvingly.
Diao Yu's joyful expression subsided slightly, and her heart skipped a beat—
Oh no, I got too cocky and now I'm afraid the adults will suspect something again!
Seeing the dejected faces of the two members of Team Yellow, he immediately had an idea.
Lang Zhuo from the Yellow Team had lost two rounds in a row and had given up hope. Seeing Sheng Zhicheng remain silent, he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Our skills are not bad, we just had bad luck today. It's okay, there are still plenty of clues. If we can't get this one, let's just finish this quickly and go to the next place!"
Sheng Zhicheng snapped out of his daze, hummed in agreement twice, and then quietly glanced in Diao Yu's direction.
Although he is just a money-grubbing spirit and his family has always dealt more with humans, this does not mean that he is ignorant of other demons or unskilled in magic.
For a brief moment, he clearly sensed the aura of magic.
It was extremely faint and fleeting; perhaps the caster was slightly negligent for a second, and he really couldn't notice it.
Clearly, the spell came from the other side, but he couldn't be completely sure who it was at the moment.
The game continues.
This time, Diao Yu did not use the same tricks as before. He even secretly threw the game, deliberately letting the Yellow Team win a point.
The fourth game was quickly moved into.
The ball darted back and forth between the two teams, narrowly missing the danger zone several times.
With the situation at a stalemate, Diao Yu saw that the ball had moved to Nan Xian's side, so she thought of using Nan Xian's strength to send the ball into the opposite goal.
Who knew—
The same scenario as the previous two occurred: the ball was clearly heading straight for the yellow team's goal, but at the crucial moment it grazed the side, then bounced and gained momentum, rushing straight into the red team's goal!
Diao Yu stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the scene before her, her mind reeling.
He clearly used magic, so why...?
Seeing his incredulous expression, Sheng Zhicheng silently withdrew his hand and smiled knowingly.
He wasn't worried about his true form being discovered—survival in the demon realm was cruel, and every family that had survived to this day must have its own survival secrets. For example, the fox clan was good at illusions to bewitch minds, the mermaid clan was good at changing their appearance to hide in the streets, and the rat clan was good at hiding so that enemies could not easily find their tracks.
Their ancestral secret technique, passed down through generations, is to conceal their demonic power, making them appear no different from ordinary humans. Only a true, ancient demon in the presence of others can discern their true form.
As expected, Diao Yu became suspicious. He cautiously scanned his surroundings, but apart from Nan Xian, he couldn't see anything unusual about anyone else.
Is it really just a coincidence?
