Chen Xiao's lips seemed to be stitched together with silent threads, and he did not utter a single word.
However, the doubts in his heart were like thick ink poured onto rice paper, spreading layer by layer, the ink becoming thicker and heavier, and difficult to dissipate for a long time.
On the way home, her gaze was like a sharp thorn, or a vine clinging to everything, tightly wrapped around "Xixi". It seemed as if she wanted to use this gaze as a sharp blade to peel away the seemingly familiar appearance layer by layer, and directly probe into the depths of the soul to dig out the true self hidden behind it.
At this moment, Qianyi's heart was like a tangled mess of hemp threads, with pain and entanglement intertwined like twin vines.
He knew perfectly well that this act of impersonation was like a timed thunderbolt hidden in the deepest part of the night, waiting for a moment of carelessness to explode and shatter all the carefully constructed lies before him, exposing the truth to the light of day without reservation.
The current situation is like a sword hanging high above his head, teetering on the verge of falling. Its chilling light seeps into his heart, forcing him to trudge along this treacherous path strewn with lies and thorns, a path that is difficult and lonely.
He had to devote himself wholeheartedly to presenting a radiant image to the public, and when he spoke and communicated with people, every gesture seemed to be a perfect fusion of soul and body.
And then, in a secluded and dark place out of the sight of others, he would painstakingly ponder and plan, repeatedly considering how to tell Chen Xiao the whole truth.
Every possible word he might utter, every subtle nuance of his tone, was being rehearsed in his mind like a military exercise, repeated over and over again, with no room for complacency.
At the same time, he also needs to remain vigilant and keep a close eye on the evil forces lurking deep in the dark abyss behind the fake S, as if he is always worried that the surging tide will sweep in again without warning, dragging the world back into the endless dark swamp, never to recover.
Arriving at a tranquil valley, the surroundings were so still that it seemed as if the river of time had frozen in place, the air as if frozen in ice, and wisps of eerie atmosphere, like fleeting ghosts, silently wandered and moved through the valley.
Qianyi felt as if her senses were being gently touched by a mysterious and unpredictable force, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
His extremely keen senses, capable of detecting even the slightest dust particle's trajectory, were now clearly perceiving an unusual aura, like a shadow stealthily approaching them in the dark.
"Everyone be careful, there may be danger." Qian Yi warned softly, his voice unconsciously revealing his original calm and reserved nature, like a smooth stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread gently, but making Chen Xiao's doubts grow more lush and intense like spring grass meeting spring rain.
Just then, a group of dark figures, as if breaking free from the shackles of hell, surged out from both sides of the valley like a raging tide.
Their bodies were twisted, like deformed dolls being kneaded and manipulated by dark magic, and they exuded a nauseating stench, as if they were the embodiment of death and decay, which instantly filled the entire valley.
Upon seeing this, everyone's long-honed instincts instantly awakened like a sleeping lion, just like a well-trained elite army responding to a command, quickly and orderly arranging their battle formations, ready for battle.
Qian Yiyi had no choice but to bury her deepest concerns for the time being and throw herself into the fierce battle like an arrow released from a bow.
In the heat of the battle, Qian Yi's unleashed power inadvertently revealed a unique system imprint. This minute detail was captured by Chen Xiao's sharp and precise gaze, like that of a hawk.
"You are definitely not Xixi, who exactly are you?" Chen Xiao seized the opportunity to get close to Qian Yi, lowered his voice, and asked in a question that seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth. His words were filled with an unquestionable authority and certainty, like a thunderclap in Qian Yi's ears.
Qian Yi felt a chill run down her spine, as if the biting cold wind of the night had pierced straight into the depths of her soul. She knew that this deception was no longer going to work, and she felt like a trapped beast at the end of its rope.
He fought off the shadowy figure beside him with all his might, his movements carrying a hint of determination and helplessness. He slowly turned to face Chen Xiao, his eyes filled with a mixture of guilt and resolve: "I am Qian Yi. Xi Xi was unable to come because of the barrier, so she asked me to come and help her. That's why I impersonated her."
Chen Xiao had crossed paths with Qian Yi before, so he was quite surprised by the revelation of the truth. It was as if he had suddenly stumbled upon a misty forest on a broad road that was as familiar as the lines on his palm, and lost his way.
No wonder I always felt that Xi Xi acted strangely and was too calm and collected, completely different from the Xi Xi of the past. It turns out that the person in front of me was Qian Yi. In this way, many doubts that had been lingering in my mind were gently unlocked by a magical key of wisdom, and a clear explanation was found.
Seeing that Chen Xiao remained silent, Qian Yi had no choice but to continue, "However, during the fight with the fake S, I accidentally discovered Xi Xi's secret background. Later, by chance, I resolved the evil power of the fake S in Lingxu Valley. But I swear I will never reveal this matter to anyone, and I have no malicious intent."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao looked shocked and puzzled, asking with a puzzled expression, "Is the problem between Xi Xi and the fake S really that serious? Aren't they just two sides of the same coin?"
Qian Yi then realized that Chen Xiao had not grasped the seriousness of the matter. She sighed softly, a sigh that carried endless helplessness and vicissitudes: "Extremely serious. However, I cannot say more about the specific details. As you know, the Supreme God is all-powerful."
