The agreed-upon location was chosen by Jie Shu, on the rooftop of an abandoned high-rise building.
The layout here is very similar to Cheng Shi's rest area. According to Jie Shu, similar scenes can also improve the success rate of positioning.
At this moment, Zhao Xishi and Mo Shu had not yet arrived. Jie Shu looked at the two people who were gradually approaching, his eyes darkened, and his suspicious gaze swept over Long Jing.
He heard about Su Yida being impersonated during the trial, and from this he guessed some things, and repeatedly tested the master of trickery to a certain extent.
However, the trickster master's response was perfect. He didn't remember everything about their previous conversation, but at least he remembered the key points. However, he was often vague and unclear about the minor details. This performance was exactly in line with the memory and cognition of a normal person, so the trickster master was unable to find any clues.
Longjing was relieved that Jieshu hadn't asked about anything beyond the world, otherwise he would definitely have been exposed.
But wise people are prone to doubt, and once they start to question the solution, it's not easy to let the matter go.
The only people who knew about their plan and were interested in it were Li Jingming and Long Jing, who overheard rumors during that trial.
Even if Li Jingming wanted to remember a certain memory, he would usually use upright methods. So, I'm not worried about tricks when it comes to him.
Longjing tea...
The con artists were too cunning; he wasn't sure what the acrobats would do to achieve their goals.
He had assumed that in order to join the plan, the other party would eliminate one member from the plan and impersonate that member to muddle through, and since the Master of Deception was the weakest, Su Yida was at great risk of being killed.
However, the stubborn master of deception refused to listen to advice and insisted on improving himself in the trial, which forced Jieshu to constantly observe the opponent's movements to ensure his safety.
Fortunately, Longjing also showed up today, so these doubts can be put aside for the time being. However, the attitude of the Master of Deception getting together with Longjing without informing him is very problematic. Therefore, when the two of them appeared, Jieshu's expression turned not so good.
Su Yida knew that bringing people to participate in this plan without authorization was against the rules, but considering that he was the main character of the plan, he explained arrogantly and stiffly:
"The acrobat helped me during the trial, and I've learned that he does indeed have a grudge against Cheng Shi, so he could be an asset to us."
Longjing greeted Jieshu with a smile, his radiant face seemingly saying: See, I came even without your invitation?
Jie Shu's face twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "Where did you get that information from?"
Su Yida was taken aback, then frowned and said, "My own channels are absolutely trustworthy."
"......"
The solution fell silent.
Based on his understanding of the master of trickery, this reaction was not a problem. Su Yida was a stubborn, arrogant, ambitious and self-unaware person, otherwise the other party would not have agreed to his plan.
Jie Shu originally thought that if the two people explained in detail how they met by chance and reached some kind of agreement, he would conclude that Su Yida was being controlled and that there was definitely something wrong with the Longjing tea.
But now, Su Yida is too Su Yida, leaving no room for error in his methods.
What's even more amazing is that Longjing, who came along, clearly wasn't part of the plan, and was even suspected of being there to cause trouble. Yet, he acted as if he were doing you a favor by coming here, showing absolutely no treacherous intentions or anxiety about being exposed...
It has to be said that at this moment, the master of trickery and the acrobat are quite a good match.
They're such a perfect match, it's disgusting.
Jie Shu took a deep breath, hesitating whether to keep Longjing, and just then, Zhao Xishi arrived.
Zhao Xishi, whom we hadn't seen for a long time, still looked like a wise and knowledgeable historian. As soon as she appeared, her face showed a shrewdness that was no less than that of a seasoned expert.
She greeted everyone, and when she saw Longjing was there, she simply raised an eyebrow, seemingly unsurprised.
Jie Shu noticed Zhao Xishi's expression and frowned slightly, saying:
"You've been gone for a long time."
Zhao Xishi chuckled softly: "That's why I'm alive."
"?" Jie Shu's pupils narrowed slightly. "We've run into trouble. Who is it?"
"Who else could it be but an old rival?"
Mentioning his opponent, Zhao Xishi's laughter instantly turned cold, and he said with resentment, "The magician has gained benefits at the Chaos Temple, and he's probably about to abandon his mortal status and ascend to godhood."
I was unwilling to give up, so I tested her, only to be chased away like a homeless stray dog. I hid outside for a long time.
"Become a god? Zhen Xin is going to become the messenger of [Chaos]!?" Jie Shu was shocked; he truly knew nothing about this.
"What, you still don't know?"
The magician secretly combined [chaos], which made her deception even more sophisticated.
I advise everyone to stay away from her lately, or you'll regret it if you suffer the consequences.
Zhao Xishi's tone was somewhat gritted, and a barely perceptible hint of defeat flashed in his eyes.
Both Jie Shu and Long Jing were shrewd individuals; they noticed that Zhao Xishi's mood had changed, but neither of them offered any words of comfort.
Firstly, historians, who are usually proud, may not be willing to accept comfort from others; secondly, the people present were only in a cooperative relationship, and what maintained the cooperation was interests, not friendship, so no one had the right to comfort anyone else.
After hearing Zhen Xin sing "Chaos," Long Jing muttered a few curses, and then the room fell silent again.
Zhao Xishi's gaze swept across the entire area. With a cold expression, she moved a little closer. Then, an aura of chaos quietly spread from behind her, slowly enveloping the rooftop.
