Anti-fraud manual for the cultivation world

Chapter 104 East Creek River in the North of the City

Just as he thought of this, Yu Song replied, "Three!"

[The Cultivation World Anti-Fraud Handbook Lv.1 reminds you: The "three" things Yu Song just mentioned are lies. Because lies are irrelevant to you, they cannot be forced to become truth.]

Li Gu laughed inwardly: Haha, I hit the jackpot! Looks like I could become a relationship expert now.

Cang Jin was clearly quite satisfied with the answer "three". She didn't want to choose a novice whose emotions were like a blank sheet of paper, nor did she want to choose a scoundrel who had many women in his life. The answer of three was perfect.

She smiled and nodded, clearly acknowledging Yu Song's basic conditions.

Meng Ting blinked, reached across the table, tugged at Li Gu's sleeve, and whispered, "The couple at the next table seem to be getting together."

Li Gu lowered his voice and said, "Isn't this good? May all lovers in the world become a couple. It's predestined from a previous life, so don't miss your destined marriage."

Meng Ting lowered her voice and said, "That would be excellent, but I feel that Yu Song of the Qingcheng Sect is a bit like Senior Brother Wu Wangshu—it gives people a very uncomfortable feeling."

Wu Wangshu?

Li Gu remembered this person—the guy he'd thrown against the defensive barrier and smashed into pieces. He was a complete scumbag; because he couldn't control his lust, he caused the Wu family to be wiped out, and even after entering the Flower Valley, he didn't restrain himself.

Does this Yu Song look a lot like Wu Wangshu?

Li Gu trusted Meng Ting's intuition, because women, especially beautiful women, have a very accurate intuition about men.

Huh?

and many more!

That woman named Cang Jin is also a beautiful woman. Doesn't she have any intuition about men? Is she not as good as her junior sister Meng Ting?

Just as he was thinking this, Yu Song smiled and said, "Miss Cang, I've heard that there's a Zhuxi River in the north of the city with beautiful scenery. How about we go for a stroll there after dinner, walk along the riverbank, chat a bit, and get to know each other better?"

Without hesitation, Cang Jin nodded and said, "Okay!"

[The Cultivation World Anti-Fraud Handbook Lv.1 reminds you: Yu Song's statement that "there is a Zhuxi River in the north of the city with beautiful scenery" is a lie. Since lies are irrelevant to you, they cannot be forced to become true.]

Li Gu let out a "Huh?" and sensed that something was wrong.

(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)

The lies Yu Song told before were all normal lies for blind dates, the kind most men would tell, and were considered reasonable lies. But this lie is wrong, isn't it? "There's a Zhuxi River in the north of the city" is a lie, meaning there's no such river in the north of the city at all, so there's no beautiful scenery to speak of.

Having possessed the system for a while, Li Gu had a thorough understanding of its quirks. If Yu Song simply got the river's name wrong, the system wouldn't issue an alert. For instance, if there was a Zhufeng River in the north of the city, and Yu Song mistakenly called it Zhuxi River, the system wouldn't consider it a lie.

Since the system triggered an alarm, it means that Yu Song didn't get the name wrong. He knew perfectly well that there was no such river, and he was simply lying to deceive people.

There's no river, no scenery, yet they insist there is a river and scenery.

What was he planning to do by luring that girl out of the city?

Li Gu immediately thought of Wu Wangshu, who used ginseng as an excuse to lure his junior sister to the hillside to commit illicit acts.

My junior sister said this guy looks a bit like Wu Wangshu, and now it all makes sense, it all makes sense.

Although it's not certain yet, the probability is at least 40-50%.

Li Gu lowered his voice and said to Meng Ting, "That man is lying. There is no such river in the north of the city. It looks like this blind date is going to turn into a ghost story."

"Huh?" Meng Ting was startled and quickly said, "Senior Brother Li, we should speak up in this situation; we can't just sit idly by."

Li Gu thought to himself: I don't think I'm the kind of person who gets so caught up in a sense of justice that I want to meddle in everything. Besides, what I just said was just my guess, without any concrete evidence. What if Yu Song isn't that kind of person, and I'm just overthinking things? It wouldn't be good to interfere recklessly and do something bad with good intentions.

But then she saw Meng Ting blinking her big eyes intently at her.

In her mind, Senior Brother Li was the embodiment of integrity and brilliance. Senior Brother Li must be a good person who would step in to right injustice, uphold justice, and risk his own life.

Li Gu felt immense pressure under her large, piercing gaze.

Okay, okay! I'll give in, alright?

Li Gu raised his voice and said, "I'm sorry to the senior brother from the Qingcheng Sect next door, but I overheard your conversation. As far as I know, there is no Zhuxi River in the north of the city at all."

As soon as he said that, the two people at the next table turned to look at him at the same time.

Li Gu accompanied Meng Ting, not wearing a constable's uniform, but rather ordinary chivalrous attire. Yu Song, seeing this, initially thought he was some ignorant rogue cultivator and was immediately annoyed. However, when Cang Jin's gaze fell on Li Gu's face, he paused imperceptibly, and then his brows furrowed slightly.

Yu Song immediately noticed this slight frown. He was about to angrily scold Li Gu for eavesdropping on others, but seeing Cang Jin frown, he quickly abandoned his rant and focused on the important point: "Oh dear! Look at my brain! The senior brother next to me is right. There is no Zhuxi River in the north of the city. I remembered wrong. What is the name of that river again? Dongxi River, right, Dongxi River."

[The Cultivation World Anti-Fraud Handbook Lv.1 reminds you: Yu Song's mention of the "Dongxi River" is a lie. Due to your involvement, the lie has become associated with you and can be forcibly made true. Yes/No]

Only a fool would choose this place. Although Li Gu also wanted to know how the system could create a river from nothing, now was not the time to test the system.

He simply said, "Senior brother of the Qingcheng Sect, there is no Dongxi River either! When one lie is exposed, trying to cover it up with more lies will only make the hole bigger and bigger. A truly upright person should admit their mistake and apologize at this time."

Yu Song was furious: "You scoundrel, it's shameless enough to eavesdrop on our conversation, but now you're spouting sarcasm. There's clearly an East Creek River in the north of the city, so stop talking nonsense and disturbing Miss Cang."

Li Gu shrugged: "Why don't we just ask a local?" When he said this, Li Gu's face was turned towards Cang Jin, and he didn't even look at Yu Song.

Cang Jin stared intently at Li Gu. She recognized him; a few nights ago, during the fierce battle in the yamen, she had watched Li Gu from the very beginning, paying even more attention than she had to Hong Lin and Hua Mingyuan's fight. She had personally witnessed Li Gu luring and killing the demonic sect disciples before turning back to assist the Six Doors in their battle against the enemy.

She knew Li Gu was a smart man, with some cleverness, but also with the integrity he displayed in the final battle. Judging from his performance that day, he could be considered a decent person.

Since Yu Song and Li Gu's words contradicted each other, she would naturally believe Li Gu.

Cang Jin turned to the shopkeeper: "Is there an East Creek River in the north of the city?"

The shopkeeper immediately took a few steps back and raised his hand, saying, "This shop does not get involved in any matters between cultivators."

Cang Jin's gaze immediately shifted to the beggar sitting outside the door, and he slowly walked up to the beggar, tossing him a silver ingot: "Is there an East Creek River in the north of the city?"

The beggar happily pocketed the silver, looked up and said, "Girl, you are kind. May you live a long and healthy life, find a good match soon, and enjoy eternal love. — There is no East Creek River in the north of the city, so we can't go there. Yu Song has already been expelled from the Qingcheng sect, and the Righteous Alliance won't accept him either. —"

Yu Song was so angry that his nose was crooked. Not only were people at the next table eavesdropping, but even the beggar outside the door was eavesdropping. How could his ears be so long?

Beggars' Sect, don't go too far! You're selling me out for a single tael of silver?
