Anti-fraud manual for the cultivation world

Li Gu pushed the [Hidden Flower Movement Technique] to its limit, leaping swiftly across the hillside.

At first, Meng Ting didn't understand why Li Gu was carrying her, but she soon realized that her cultivation technique was a mess and her lightness skill was also subpar. If she were to run on her own, her speed would be incredibly slow.

Li Gu activated the seventh level of Qi Refining technique, combined with his footwork, and his speed was as fast as if he were flying.

Zheng Xiaodong and Zhang Yi followed behind.

Each time the three of them took a step, they would precisely land on a stone, trying their best not to leave even a single footprint on the ground.

Meng Ting stared at everyone with her big, innocent eyes, completely bewildered.

"Now listen to me... about the problem in the Hidden Flower Pavilion..."

As Li Gu ran, he told her about all the strange things in the Hidden Flower Chamber, even the corpse pit outside. Meng Ting was completely stunned and couldn't believe her ears.

Just as Li Gu had guessed last time, the first thing Meng Ting thought of was her own clothes. When she entered the sect half a year ago, she was wearing tattered burlap clothes. After her master took her in, he kindly handed her a set of old cotton clothes and told her that Hidden Flower Sect was not wealthy and could not afford many new clothes, so she should make do with her senior sister's old clothes for now.

She was overjoyed. Coming from a poor family, she didn't mind wearing her older siblings' hand-me-downs. Instead, she was happy to have such a beautiful knight-errant outfit.

Now that I know this outfit was taken from the body of a murdered senior sister, I couldn't help but gag and almost vomit.

"Don't take your clothes off!" Li Gu said quickly, "If you strip naked now, I won't have any clothes for you to change into."

Meng Ting was completely devastated and had no mood for jokes. She leaned weakly on Li Gu's back, tears streaming down her face.

Zheng Xiaodong couldn't help but stick out his tongue: "Luckily, I didn't tell my junior sister beforehand. If she knew the truth, she wouldn't be able to keep it from anyone."

Zhang Yi laughed and said, "You're the same, except you've been paralyzed for a few years, which has made you more composed. If it were you a few years ago, the moment you learned the truth, you would have shouted it all over Flower Valley."

Zheng Xiaodong: "..."

The four of them quickly reached the entrance of the tunnel at the top of the mountain and climbed out one after another. It was already late at night, the sky was moonless, and it was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Meng Ting's skills were too shallow and her eyesight was not good enough, so she was basically blind and had to continue to have Li Gu carry her.

The four of them circled halfway around the edge of the defensive formation, going from the south slope to the east slope. After running a few more steps, they reached the valley stream.

The four of them jumped into the valley as fast as they could, and as soon as their feet touched the stream, they all felt a sense of relief.

However, at this very moment...

Only then did everyone realize that a woman was standing in the stream a few feet ahead. At this distance, they couldn't see her face, only the black silhouette of her figure. She stood gracefully, with an outstanding figure, full of the charm of a mature woman.

She seemed to have been waiting there for quite a while. Seeing Li Gu and the others jump into the stream, she calmly remarked, "Too slow! Was it Meng Ting who delayed you?"

Li Gu and the other three were all shocked!

That really scared me half to death.

The woman chuckled and said, "I've been waiting here for you, just to ask one question: what have I done to offend you? Why didn't you take me with you when you ran away?"

Li Gu finally recognized her voice and exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Sister?"

Just then, the moon emerged from the clouds, its silvery light illuminating the woman's face clearly—it was none other than Senior Sister Bai Yan.

Senior Sister Bai Yan looks forever 25!

Li Gu's palms were sweating. Zheng Xiaodong and Zhang Yi both had their hands on the hilts of their knives at their waists. Only Meng Ting looked blank, as if nothing could be understood by her. She was just dumbfounded.

Bai Yan chuckled, a laugh completely different from her usual aloof demeanor, carrying a hint of alluring charm. She beckoned to Li Gu with her finger and said, "Everyone says you like me, but when you ran away, you only cared about your junior sister and completely ignored me. Ugh, I even hinted to you a few days ago that I was about to graduate, and you didn't even want to save my life? Men are so cruel to their old flames after they find a new love."

Li Gu covered his face. The change in his senior sister was also a great shock to him. As for new love and old love, don't talk about it in front of junior sister. What if you make her jealous?

"Ahem, please allow me to explain, Senior Sister. You said that when you were about to graduate, I hadn't yet discovered that Hua Qianfang had a problem."

Bai Yan wasn't so easily fooled: "After you found out, why didn't you tell me secretly? If I hadn't been secretly monitoring Brother Ouyang, I really wouldn't have known you were also planning to escape. The man who has always loved me suddenly became paralyzed, which was already heartbreaking enough, but the paralysis was fake, and he didn't even take me with him when he ran away, which made me even more heartbroken. Let me tell you, a heartbroken woman is capable of anything."

[Ding! The Cultivation World Anti-Fraud Handbook Lv.1 reminds you: Bai Yan's statement "It hurt me" was a lie. Do you want to force the lie to become true? Yes/No.]

Li Gu broke out in a cold sweat and quickly chose "no." "Don't be sad," he said. "Then I'll tell you the truth. You're responsible for teaching, supervising, and training all the disciples on behalf of your master. And your age doesn't seem to change. You always look like you're 25. I suspect your cultivation is extremely high, and you've reached the point where you have the art of preserving your youth. You're in cahoots with Hua Qianfang."

Quiet……

The scene quieted down.

Bai Yan removed his hand from the hilt of the knife.

Seeing this, Zheng Xiaodong and Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and their hands slowly left the hilts of their knives.

"Alright, you're praising my youth, of course I'll accept that explanation." Bai Yan smiled charmingly, her expression captivating. That fleeting moment of feminine allure completely eclipsed the naive junior sister. "But you've got one thing wrong. I'm naturally beautiful and age slowly, not because I have some kind of magic for preserving my youth. Otherwise, Hua Qianfang would have seen through it long ago. Of course, my cultivation level is definitely more than just Qi Refining Level 6. As for exactly how high it is, I can't tell you unless you abandon your junior sister and be with me. Then I'll be right next to you on your pillow, whispering in your ear."

[Ding! The Cultivation World Anti-Fraud Handbook Lv.1 reminds you: Bai Yan's statement just now, "Abandon your junior sister and be with your older sister. Your older sister will be right beside you on your pillow, whispering in your ear to tell you," is a lie. Do you want to force the lie to become true? Yes/No.]

Li Gu thought to himself: I don't object to you biting my ear by the pillow, but I absolutely object to you abandoning my junior sister. Sigh! Please tell me separate lies next time, instead of piling them up and making things difficult for me.

I choose no.
