Chapter 1343 New Skills

Having traveled through so many worlds, I've been an emperor and a powerful minister several times, and I've also been a modern-day tycoon quite a bit. I've tasted all sorts of good things.

Therefore, the tea leaves he selects may not be the most expensive, but they are definitely the top-quality ones.

Meeting Si Teng's suspicious gaze, Lin Hao smiled mysteriously and said, "I can get anything if I want to."

"Tch!" Si Teng rolled his eyes at Lin Hao, opened the gift package, opened the jar, and then pinched a little bit and sniffed it.

Instantly, Si Teng's eyes brightened. Although she couldn't tell if it was really the so-called "tribute tea," it was many times better than the tea she had drunk before.

the other side

Shen Yindeng and the others gathered at a stone table in the park, waiting for the old chairman Cang Hong, while Yan Furui eavesdropped from the steps not far away.

Cang Hong returned late last night, and no one knew how much he had gained from his trip.

"Tap tap tap," President Cang Hong walked in unhurriedly. Upon seeing this, Shen Yindeng quickly went up to him and asked how things had gone last night.

Seeing the impatient Shen Yindeng, President Cang Hong glanced at her and said:
“Sito is so shrewd. I only said I had a lead, and she already became suspicious. If we find it directly as you planned, what do you think she will do?”

“If she hadn’t been so arrogant, thinking we wouldn’t dare to use any tricks, we would have been exposed long ago.”

Shen Yin remained silent. The group gradually took their seats, all somewhat uneasy. Bai Jin thought for a moment and then said:
"I thought about it all night and I still feel that this is not a good idea. Does this have to be a fight to the death?"

From his perspective, he would prefer to see the Kama tribe and humans coexist peacefully rather than fight to the death.

His words resonated with many people, and Ma Qiuyang nodded repeatedly, saying:
“We need to think this through. Right now, we don’t have any deep-seated hatred for Si Teng, but once we take this step, things will be different.”

"Besides, if she doesn't do anything wrong, wouldn't that be a happy ending for everyone? We don't need to fight to the death. We live in a society governed by law now, and I doubt that Si Teng would dare to act like before!"

Last night, Shen Yindeng was in tears, and they, in a moment of weakness and a moment of impulse, agreed.

But after much deliberation, I realized that if I did that, I would truly be on the same side as Shen Yindeng.

Although we are both in the Suspended Gate, this is the first time we've met, and our relationship is so casual, is it really worth it?
"Exactly!" Pan Qinian chimed in, "Let's make big things small and small things nothing. What if it gets out of control? Wouldn't that be losing more than we gain?"

Amidst the murmurs, Shen Yindeng suddenly sneered, her gaze piercing through everyone like needles. Only after everyone fell silent did she speak:
"When did we become so timid and fearful? Trying to downplay major issues and dismiss minor ones altogether. Do you even remember who you are when you say things like that?"

"The Suspended Gate, what exactly is the mission of the Suspended Gate that has lasted for thousands of years? And they even said that if they don't do evil, everyone will be happy? Their existence is wrong, how can you guarantee that they won't do evil?"

"Enough!" Hearing the discussion, the hot-tempered Ding Dacheng roared, pointing at Cang Hong and the others and angrily rebuking them:
"Are you all even worthy of being called 'Suspense Masters'? All you can do is talk the talk, aren't you just afraid of dying?"

After launching into a tirade against the entire region, he turned his anger to the instigator, Shen Yindeng, and rebuked her, "And you, all you've got is that mouth!"

After saying that, he stormed off, leaving everyone speechless.

Yan Furui hid to the side and heard the gist of the story, but he still didn't quite understand.

As Cang Hong and the others descended the steps, Yan Furui hurriedly went to greet them.

"Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat!"

"No need, no need!" Cang Hong shook his head and said.

Ma Qiuyang curled his lip and said sarcastically, "Tell me, his master did so many bad things, and we're all suffering because of him!"

"But he got away scot-free. He really thought Si Teng would let him off the hook. If I were Si Teng, I would have taken him down first!"

Since it was Qiu Shan who caused the trouble, everyone naturally didn't treat Yan Furui, Qiu Shan's apprentice, well.

The key issue is that everyone is angry. Originally, it had nothing to do with them, but now they've caused so much trouble.

Bai Jin came down, fanning himself, and seeing Yan Furui looking downcast, he comforted him:
"They've been under a lot of pressure these past few days, so their words might have been a bit harsh. Don't take it to heart!"

Yan Furui said helplessly, "It's a matter of life and death, so it's understandable!"

Platinum shook his head, somewhat dejected, and said:

"I was quite excited when I received the invitation. I thought it might open up new horizons and give me more material to accumulate for telling stories!"

"Unexpectedly, things turned into a cycle of revenge for long-standing grudges. It was a real letdown, and utterly tasteless!"

"Mr. Bai, you mean mutual revenge?" Yan Furui paused for a moment upon hearing this, then suddenly asked:

"Isn't it because Si Teng harbors hatred and wants to take revenge on our Suspended Gate? How did it become mutual? Shen Yindeng's ancestor was killed by Si Teng!"

Although they knew something was off about Shen Yindeng, they hadn't figured out her identity yet. Judging from her behavior, they felt that Shen Yindeng was trying to use everyone to settle personal scores.

Shaking his head, Platinum said with a helpless expression:

"There was already a grudge between them, and Si Teng even placed such a heavy restriction on the Shen family, so it's no wonder that Shen Yindeng hates her!"

"What restriction?" Yan Furui asked quickly.

"Sigh!" Platinum shook her head without saying anything, and turned to leave.

Seeing that Bai Jin wouldn't say anything, Yan Furui quickly ran to Wang Qiankun to inquire.

Without much thought, Wang Qiankun recounted Shen Yindeng's previous actions.

In the afternoon, Lin Hao received a call from President Cang Hong, so he went to Si Teng's side.

"Si Teng, President Cang Hong called and said that they have basically determined the approximate area, saying it's near Yunxi Village!"

Sito held "Ordinary World" in his hand, and said as he read:
“You told Cang Hong that he is a highly respected person, and I shouldn’t doubt him, but he said that Yunxi Fortress exists, so it does exist.”
You need to show me some evidence, even just a single hair on your body!

"Where is Yunxi Village? Have you heard of it?" Lin Hao asked with a curious look.

Si Teng nodded, saying indifferently, "I've heard of it. It's Shen Cuiqiao's hometown, the territory of the Suspended Sword Cave!"

As if struck by a thought, Lin Hao smiled knowingly, then offered a reminder:
"It seems they have ill intentions. The presence of the Kagyu tribe on the territory of the Hanging Sword Cave is suspicious no matter how you look at it. Remember to be careful!"

"What do I need to be careful about?" Si Teng raised an eyebrow and said with a disdainful look:
"Even if Shen Yindeng digs a trap for me on the road ahead, I'll dig it up along with the road! They don't even deserve to play tricks on me!"

"Awesome! My wife is really awesome!" Lin Hao gave Si Teng a thumbs up upon hearing this.

"Tch!" Si Teng gave Lin Hao a charming glare, already immune to Lin Hao calling her "wife".

She couldn't beat him in a fight, and Lin Hao kept saying ambiguous things to her every day. What could she do?
Moreover, after spending a few days together, she had unknowingly developed a great liking for Lin Hao!

"Lin Hao!"

A sudden shout interrupted their conversation. Lin Hao looked down at the sound and saw Yan Furui looking up at his window.

Seeing Lin Hao craning his neck to look outside, Yan Furui asked breathlessly, "Is Miss Si Teng here?"

Lin Hao replied with a smile, "Yes, what's up?"

Yan Furui said, "I need to talk to her about something." "Alright, come in then!" Lin Hao responded, and seeing that Shen Yindeng was nearby, he said to Si Teng:

"Then you two talk, I'll go out for a bit!"

Si Teng looked at Lin Hao strangely, then nodded and said, "Oh, then you can go out first!"

Lin Hao walked outside the room and took a few steps in the direction Shen Yindeng had left. Sure enough, she was waiting for him around the corner.

"Mr. Lin, can we talk?" Shen Yindeng emerged from around the corner.

Lin Hao looked at Shen Yindeng and coldly replied, "Fine!"

Then, Lin Hao followed Shen Yindeng to the woods on the side.

Just as Lin Hao reached the woods, a faint voice sounded beside him.

The voice of "Lin Hao" was so familiar; I had already recognized it last time.

"Lin Hao, do you remember me? It's me!"

"Lin Hao~, do you remember who I am?"

It's clear that, unable to peek into Lin Hao's memories, Shen Yindeng is trying to use magic to guide herself to reveal the memories in her mind.

Since that's the case, Lin Hao naturally didn't hold back and immediately opened the system panel.

The system solidifies the skills used by Shen Yindeng!

"Ding: Skill solidification in progress..."

"Ding~, skill solidification in progress. Congratulations to the host for acquiring the skill: Hypnosis!"

Hypnosis: Without the need for external aids, the target can be hypnotized without their awareness.

Special Note: The effect of hypnosis is lower than that of illusion, charm, illusion, and illusionary realm skills, but fusion can slightly enhance the effect of the skill. Do you want to fuse it?

Unlike the illusion skill I acquired last time, which was based on a higher-level illusion skill and used other skills to enhance this one.

This hypnosis skill is clearly of a lower rank than other skills, so it has become a raw material for enhancing other skills.

"Merge!" Lin Hao chose to merge without hesitation.

"Ding: The effects of skills such as Illusion, Charm, Illusion, and Illusionary Realm have been enhanced!"

"Ding: Skill solidification in progress..."

"Ding: Solidification failed. No skill was found..."

"What a pity, there's only one. It's better than nothing, I suppose," Lin Hao thought to himself.

However, if I don't react, the plot might get stuck here.

Or perhaps, Shen Yindeng's continued actions are not a sustainable solution. Why not try her True Illusion Technique and see if it has any effect on this poisonous mushroom?
The next second, Lin Hao activated the "True Illusion Technique," forcibly pulling the other party into the illusion he had woven, making her believe that she had pulled Lin Hao into an illusion.

"Since you want it, I'll play along!" Lin Hao's eyes were filled with a playful glint.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Si Teng leaned back in his chair and looked at Yan Furui standing beside him, asking, "Did you need something?"

Yan Furui hunched over, mustered his courage, and said, "Miss Si Teng, I would like to give you some advice."

Si Teng said with a smile, "Go ahead and mention it!"

Yan Furui stammered and said in a low voice, "Well, if we've given our opinion, we won't get angry, okay?"

Si Teng smiled and said, "I am very open to advice; I am a very magnanimous person!"

Yan Furui gritted his teeth and finally said, "Fine, Miss Si Teng, I think even if you're not human!"

Hearing this, Si Teng glanced at him coldly. Why was this guy talking so rudely? It felt like he was cursing me.

Yan Furui swallowed hard and stammered, "It's...it means exactly what it says, but you should also keep your promise!"

"For example, if the Suspended Gate agrees to help you find your kind, then you will be freed from the vine-killing spells cast on everyone. Or, for example, I promise to be loyal to you wholeheartedly!"
"Just consider this as me paying off a debt to my master, and let's no longer hold a grudge between my master and you!"

“We can’t do the job and then you turn around and do the same to us. That’s like stabbing us in the back and turning your back on us. I think that’s wrong!”

What is all this nonsense? They're just spouting nonsensical things. So, Si Teng still smiled and said:
"You mean I would go back on my word and turn my back on you?"

Yan Furui said in a low voice, "Personally, I believe in Miss Si Teng's character, but..."

"I just heard something that made me realize the power of small things: a drop of water can reflect the sun's light!"

Seeing that Yan Furui's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, making it seem as if she had done something inconsistent, Si Teng was slightly angry, but she calmly said:
"Yan Furui, do you want to see your master?"

Startled, Yan Furui took two steps back and quickly said, "Hey, didn't you just say you were open to advice?"

"What, why are you getting so worked up? Isn't this just turning your back on me?"

Upon hearing this, Si Teng knew that something must have happened, so he said calmly:

"Where did you hear all this? Come sit down and tell me properly how you've spread rumors and made up about me."

Upon hearing this, Yan Furui sat down opposite Si Teng with trepidation: "You killed Shen Cuiqiao, the manager of the Suspended Sword Cave."

Si Teng paused in his tea-pouring, never expecting Bai Ying to be so ruthless!
Yan Furui glanced at Si Teng, and seeing that she didn't react, he felt a little relieved before continuing:
"Of course, that was the old society back then, the legal system wasn't perfect, and besides, the Suspended Gate was... well, you know!"

Yan Furui hesitated before saying, "Right? So it can't be entirely blamed on you, but how could you place such a cruel restriction?"

"You've caused the women of the Hanging Sword Cave to die in childbirth generation after generation. Just imagine, the child is born without a mother. That's too cruel!"

"Bang!" Si Teng slammed the teapot on the table and roared:

"Nonsense! Everyone knows that I, Si Teng, am undefeated. Overthrowing her Suspended Sword Cave is as easy as lifting a hand. Why would I need to do that?"

She suddenly stopped talking, her brows furrowing slightly. Although there was no evidence to confirm it, given Bai Ying's personality, she might actually do it.

Thinking about this, Si Teng said somewhat uncertainly, "There might be such a thing!"

"What do you mean? Miss Sito, if you did it, you did it; if you didn't, you didn't. How could there possibly be something else going on?!"

"Don't you remember what you did?" Yan Furui was a little confused.

What exactly does Si Teng mean by this? Do you think I've wronged you? If I have, then you should refute me!

Si Teng ignored him, slowly leaning back in her chair, her expression turning disdainful as she said:
"As expected, they're just low-class trash!"
