Chapter 523 Nine True and One False
Someone stole my token.
And this person wants you dead.
“.”
When Chu Xianping said this calmly, regardless of whether Zhuang Zhiming believed it or not, he shuddered subconsciously.
His pupils suddenly contracted, his internal energy surged uncontrollably, and the tables and chairs shook violently.
Zhuang Zhiming just stared at Chu Xianping with his eyes wide open. After an unknown amount of time, he finally squeezed out a question word by word from his throat.
"When did that person steal your token?"
"Half a month ago."
Chu Xianping looked at Zhuang Zhiming with a slight smile on his face: "Elder Zhuang, I know what you want to ask."
"I'm not afraid to tell you, actually."
"I previously had two elder tokens."
“.”
“Crack!”
"Bang!!!"
As Chu Xianping finished his words, the pear wood tea table beside Zhuang Zhiming could no longer withstand the high-frequency vibrations and finally exploded into countless pieces.
The broken wood flew everywhere, brushing past Zhuang Zhiming's astonished face and Chu Xianping's pure green robe, then hit the wall, leaving small dents.
Suddenly, there were dense footsteps outside the house, and it seemed that many people were rushing towards the main hall.
But the next second, all the noise was stopped by Chu Xianping's words.
"Nothing! All gone!"
“.”
The dense and dense sounds suddenly stopped in an instant, only the sound of the wind remained.
Chu Xianping glanced at the figures outside the house who were quickly dispersing, and then turned his gaze back to Zhuang Zhiming, whose face was ashen.
"Elder Zhuang, do you want me to repeat to you what happened at the last elders' meeting?"
“.”
“No need.”
Zhuang Zhiming took a deep breath, his eyes becoming colder: "But how do I know whether what you said is true or false?"
"You said you had two tokens. The one that belonged to Elder Qingtai was stolen. What is the identity of the other one?"
"Who has Elder Qingtai's token now?"
"Also, why does that person want me dead?"
Instead of asking questions like "How did you find out my identity?" which Chu Xianping obviously would not answer, Zhuang Zhiming asked three consecutive questions to verify the truthfulness of the former's words.
If Chu Xianping couldn't give a reasonable explanation, or was vague and mysterious, he would definitely not believe such an outrageous thing.
But Chu Xianping was naturally prepared for this.
The most perfect lie must be mixed with truth.
The higher the proportion of truth, the more difficult it is to detect the lie.
What Chu Xianping wants to tell now is a story of "nine truths and one lie".
"Elder Zhuang, I believe you have already checked me out."
"But now you should also know that what you found out is not true."
"So I'd better introduce myself again."
"A-2 Division, White Palace, Chu Xianping."
“.”
From how he traveled all the way from the White Palace in the Far North to Daning.
From how he "got to know" Xiao Feng, to how he "turned enemies into friends" with Wei Changtian.
From how he "met" Xu Suisui, to how the two "became enemies". In Chu Xianping's story, every "plot" he told is almost true.
It’s just that there is no Old Zhang in this story, no remnant soul of the Xuantian Sword, and even no Wei Changtian.
There was only him——
Kui Longjia is the second branch of the rudder, born in Baidian, Chu Xianping.
“.”
Chu Xianping chose this "identity" after careful consideration.
If he wants Zhuang Zhiming to believe in him, he must at least be a "Kuailong man".
For this purpose, Wei Changtian had specifically inquired about the situation of each branch of the Canhun Kuilong yesterday, and even roughly drew a "world map" based on it.
Chu Xianping looked at the map again and again, and finally chose the Jiaer Branch where Bai Dian was located.
He was not worried at all whether Zhuang Zhiming would have any doubts, nor was he worried that the latter would send someone to verify the authenticity of the matter.
Because each branch of Kuilong is almost completely independent, it is difficult for Zhuang Zhiming to find out anything.
Even if it is possible, it would take at least one or two years to go back and forth, and by that time, the matter in Daning would probably have been settled.
Therefore, Chu Xianping openly "borrowed" some of Old Zhang's experience.
After the identity issue is resolved, the next issue is his relationship with Wei Changtian.
The part that Chu Xianping "replaced" was the remnant soul of the Xuantian Sword.
It's just that the remnant soul helped Wei Changtian for "longevity", and he did it "for" the magical skill that Wei Changtian used to kill the second-grade. Up to this point, Chu Xianping's statement can't be said to be perfect, but it can indeed make sense.
He is Elder Kuilong. After arriving in Daning, he first became friends with Xiao Feng, and then made a deal with Wei Changtian. He always presented himself as Wei Changtian's guest, and finally got the second elder token from the latter.
Although many details were not perfect, it was impossible to describe such a thing in too much detail, so no matter how skeptical Zhuang Zhiming was, he actually believed it halfway in his heart.
As for the most crucial part, about Xu Suisui, “.”
"As you wish."
Frowning, Zhuang Zhiming asked with a squint, "Wei Changtian doesn't know about Kuilong?"
"He knows."
Chu Xianping shook his head: "But he doesn't know about the Council of Elders."
“No wonder he reacted like that when he first saw me.”
Zhuang Zhiming narrowed his eyes and asked again: "So it was you who told him that I was the leader of Division C3?"
"Yes, after all, at the last elders' meeting, it was decided that you would contact the people around Qin Zhengqiu."
Chu Xianping smiled and said, "I just reminded him casually."
"I see."
He nodded. No matter whether Zhuang Zhiming believed this statement or not, in his mind, Chu Xianping's identity as Elder Kuilong was 90% confirmed.
But "Then how do you know that I am also an elder?"
"Since you already knew my identity, why did you send me a message in the name of the Elders Council?"
"Aren't you afraid that I will expose you?"
“.”
"Elder Zhuang, if I had known your identity earlier, how could I have done such a stupid thing."
Chu Xianping smiled bitterly and drank a sip of tea, his helpless expression was extremely realistic: "In fact, I only found out recently that you are also an elder."
"Really?"
Zhuang Zhiming looked over without commenting: "How did you find out?"
"I didn't check. Someone told me."
"Who is it?"
"It's the person who stole my token."
“.”
Zhuang Zhiming's body trembled violently and his breathing became faster.
He stared at Chu Xianping, quietly waiting for what happened next.
The latter was silent for a few breaths before he sighed softly and continued speaking.
"Elder Zhuang, this person is a woman."
"Well, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I was actually deceived by her before."
"That's why she was able to steal the Qingtai token from me."
"And next, her target is you."
“.”
Just a few simple sentences contain too much information and hide too much information.
If Chu Xianping did not tell the previous "story" but directly put forward such a confusing explanation, Zhuang Zhiming would most likely not believe it.
But now, after basically confirming Chu Xianping's identity, he fell into deep thought for a long time.
"So, this woman is also from Kuilong?"
"nature."
"She wants to take control of the Council of Elders?"
"yes."
"How did she know your and my identities?"
"I don't know."
"Why would she tell you my identity?"
"Because she wanted to lure me into killing you so that she could reap the benefits."
"You didn't agree?"
"certainly."
"Did you never wonder why she knew all this?"
"Elder Zhuang, I just said that I was deceived by her."
"Then she."
The wood chips scattered on the ground were very messy. Zhuang Zhiming paused and slowly asked the last question: "What's your name?"
“.”
"Xu Suisui."
