Those who work behind the scenes have their advantages.
Since there was a stage and a curtain on site, there must also be a back door. The invisible curtain was like a monitor. With a change of mind, Cheng Shi switched his perspective to the depths of the audience site and saw the fallen "corpse".
The corpse had come back to life and sat up.
Du Qiyu rubbed his neck, sitting silently in the void, gazing up at the sky as if waiting for someone to arrive.
Cheng Shi smirked and tentatively pulled the curtain. Through the gap between the two invisible curtains, he indeed saw the figure in front of the curtain!
Of course, things can move from the backstage to the front stage, but Du Qiyu was completely unaware of this.
This means that as long as Cheng Shi pulls back the curtain and steps out, he can appear in front of the beast tamer and question his true identity.
However, he did not rush out. Instead, he waited for a while and observed that Du Qiyu had no other ambitions and was honestly waiting for Yu Xi to arrive. Only then did he confirm that the other party was not an ambitious person and at least had genuine "trust" in Yu Xi.
Although the origin of this trust was strange, Cheng Shi felt it was enough. He smiled, drew back the curtain on the farce, and walked out.
The real fool is about to take the stage.
Behind the scenes, the lead actor quietly changed his identity.
A pair of long, slender arms entered Du Qiyu's field of vision first, followed by a bamboo-like body and that familiar pure white mask. The beast tamer immediately noticed the arrival of Yu Xi, a slight look of surprise flashing across his face, but his body reacted quickly, immediately standing up and bowing respectfully towards Cheng Shi with a joyful expression:
"Praise be to the great fool, you have come much faster than I expected."
Cheng Shi stepped forward, chuckled, and did not respond. Instead, he looked at his "childhood friend" with a smug expression, and the more he looked, the more suspicious he became about the other person's identity.
He didn't speak, but just stared at the other person, exerting a silent pressure.
In the silent void, at the very bottom of the audience, this sense of oppression was amplified many times over. Even though Du Qiyu didn't seem afraid of the prank, he couldn't help but take a small half-step back.
Seeing that Yu Xi remained silent for a long time, Du Qiyu cautiously raised his head and tentatively asked, "Sir?"
Cheng Shi glanced at the other person's eyes and felt that he had seen Xiao Qi's eyes somewhere before. Could it be that the person playing Du Qiyu was an acquaintance of his?
But who would play a perverted animal trainer, and what would be their purpose in doing so?
Cheng Shi knew it was time to speak; remaining silent would only arouse suspicion. So, he glanced up at the audience platform above and said softly:
"You're too clever for your own good. Who told you I would definitely come?"
"?"
But haven't you already arrived?
Du Qiyu paused for a moment, her eyes blinking rapidly, feeling that the Foolish Master today was... very strange.
It's nothing like Him.
But this was, after all, the place of [Fraud]'s audience. He couldn't tell if the other party was bound by some rules, or if they were being watched by the place's master, [Fraud]. So he could only cooperate and explain in a measured and formal manner:
“You saw my emblem, acknowledged my identity, didn’t kill me, and kicked me out of the void. Isn’t that just so I could wait for you here?”
You are here...
Du Qiyu glanced around furtively, then followed Yu Xi's gaze upwards and silently said, "Is it inconvenient to communicate?"
"!"
Heraldry!
What coat of arms?
Upon hearing those two words, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Cheng Shi!
Fire Emblem? The Proof of the Linked Flame!?
He's actually a Firebringer?!
Cheng Shi's pupils contracted, and he suddenly realized.
No, it should be said that the other party must be a torchbearer, otherwise Longjing would never let him go. But who among the torchbearers could he be?
Cheng Shi looked at those blinking eyes and felt increasingly familiar with them. He frantically recalled the Firelinkers he had interacted with and wondered which ones might be able to connect with Xiao Qi.
After thinking it over, I actually came up with someone!
Xie Yang!
This neighbor of mine broke free from Xiao Qi's cage and joined the Firelinkers. Could Du Qiyu be Xie Yang?
It doesn't seem like it.
Furthermore, how can believers in "war" participate in a meeting of "deception"?
Did Xie Yang break his oath? No, it doesn't seem likely.
Cheng Shi carefully observed Du Qiyu's eyes and felt that although there was determination in them, it wasn't as "persistent" as Xie Yang's, and the occasional flash of liveliness in his eyes didn't seem like that of a real man...
woman?
Cheng Shi's brows furrowed even deeper.
While Yu Xi was sizing up Du Qiyu, the puzzled Du Qiyu was also sizing up Yu Xi. He didn't doubt Yu Xi's identity, after all, no one would dare to come here at this time to impersonate Yu Xi. He just didn't understand why Yu Xi kept staring at him, as if trying to see something out of him.
But soon, Du Qiyu figured it out herself.
He exclaimed "Oh!" as if suddenly realizing something, then cautiously pointed around and whispered, "Sir...can I tell you?"
Cheng Shi was taken aback. He hadn't even thought of an excuse to urge the other party to say something when the other party suddenly had something to say.
Yes, I can speak. Of course I can speak.
He chuckled and nodded: "Speak freely."
Du Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that the adults were silent because it was inconvenient to communicate here. Seeing Yu Xi nod, he quickly explained:
"My lord, I know you are the beacon of hope!"
