Slayer of Gods: I lied; I became the agent of the Nine Gods.

Friendships among young people often come quickly and unexpectedly.

After playing together, teasing each other, and fighting, and sharing secrets that boys never reveal to each other—such as today's underwear color—

Lu Yu, along with Molly and Shen Qingzhu who had been dragged in, quickly became as close as family with Lin Qiye, Pangpang, and the others in just three days, smoothly integrating into the future Nightfall Squad.

Only Shen Qingzhu, when being forced into a sale by Lu Yuqiang, had an expression as if her illusions had been shattered.

He probably never expected that a beautiful girl would just open her mouth and reveal his underwear...

There was nothing she could do, so Lu Yu waved her hand.

Who can blame her for finding her new skill, "better late than never," so incredibly useful?

[Have you considered that this skill states that after three uses, the fourth lie will absolutely fail? If you use it to fool around now, what will you do afterwards?]

The system is in a state of impotence and rage: "【Mending the fence after the sheep are lost, you can't be fooled to death】 is a skill with both advantages and disadvantages. It has been reconstructed based on the story of mending the fence after the sheep are lost. When used, all the lies of the first three times will come true, and it can even distort reality."

It's like saying, even though Shen Qingzhu was wearing black underwear, Lu Yu said, "He was wearing red."

So not only will black turn red, but Shen Qingzhu herself will also subconsciously remember that she is wearing red.

However, the downside of this skill is that she must tell the truth the fourth time, and the truth will make everyone disbelieve her.

But he was as carefree as a deer, not flustered at all. It was incredibly convenient to play with this thing in the training camp.

She tried it yesterday: "Instructor Yuan Gang woke up this morning and found that he had lost all his hair."

Sure enough, the next day when Lu went to get his share of the cake, our Yuan Da Yuan Gang hurriedly left, saying he wasn't feeling well and had to go home first.

Hmm~ that's a wig, isn't it? Right, right~

"I already told you I know a lot of your secrets, but you didn't believe me!" someone said confidently. "Only Qiye believed me! Waaah, Qiye, our friendship will definitely sail smoothly through all the storms!"

Lin Qiye, with a cold expression, raised his hand and slapped Lu Yu's head away: "Get away."

Oh dear, our friendship has been temporarily stranded.

Lin Qiye: Our little boat has never sailed properly, has it?

Lu Yu stood up straight: "So this afternoon is the time you arranged with Wang Mian?"

Lin Qiye nodded: "It's one o'clock in the afternoon. There will be showers after four o'clock, so we probably won't be training outside. It's said that we'll be practicing indoor shooting."

Lu Yu: "Hehe~"

Lin Qiye rolled his eyes: "You're that happy to hear about the shooting?"

I'm so happy for you, hehe~

"..."

Lin Qiye's forehead veins throbbed as he clenched his fist and muttered, "...In the afternoon's competition, he will still suppress his strength to the Zhan Realm, but this time I don't know if he will use the power of that Divine Ruins."

"Are you afraid?"

"How could that be? I just feel like time-related abilities are all too easy to cheat!"

Lu Yu chuckled: "Actually, if it's this problem, I can help you, Qi Ye, let me tell you..."

She leaned close to Lin Qiye's ear mysteriously and babbled on and on about literature for a long time.

Just as Lin Qiye was about to ask what the method was, Fatty came over from the side and said, "Qiye! Dinner's ready! Let's go eat! I heard there's something delicious to eat today!"

He seemed to only then notice Lu Yu: "Oh, there's also Xiao Yu, let's eat together!"

"I won't go. You and Qiye go. See you at one o'clock this afternoon!"

After Lu Yu finished speaking, he skipped and hopped away from the training ground.

……

After waiting for a long time, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the instructors organized a group of trainees and had them sit down to watch the exciting duel between the two agents of the gods.

When Wang Mian went up the steps, Lin Qiye also stepped onto the steps at almost the same time.

"It's been a few days since I last saw you. You must have made a lot of progress, right?" Wang greeted him with a smile.

Lin Qiye: "Of course, you'll see soon enough..."

"Seven Nights—"

Two familiar shouts suddenly came from below the stage, and Lin Qiye's heart skipped a beat. He quickly turned his head to look down.

Sure enough, Lu Yu, along with the chubby guy who was acting like a scoundrel and Cao Yuan who insisted on helping her hold up the banner, were wearing red scarves on their heads that they had somehow gotten their hands on.

A red banner with white lettering was unfurled between the two.

Several large characters were written crookedly on it—

"Stepping on a mask, the uncrowned king."

Lu Yu coughed lightly: "One—two—three! Ready—"

"The knife is not sharp, and the horse is too thin!"

"Seven Nights doesn't want to fight with you!"

"The east wind blows, the war drums beat!"

Whom have we feared for seven nights?

The earth-shattering roar startled the new recruits watching the spectacle, and amused the other members of the Masked Squad who were quietly watching their captain's match from another spot.

Rose was completely dumbfounded: "They...they even have slogans?"

"I told you long ago, we should have prepared one too! And you still said I was just messing around! I'm going to lose my temper!!!" Whirlpool's loud voice almost shook the entire playground.

Tianping stroked his chin thoughtfully: "...Did we lose in terms of momentum...?"

Wang Mian was initially gloating over Lin Qiye's misfortune, but when he heard that his own teammate was secretly planning to join, his laughter immediately vanished.

Lin Qiye slapped his face and turned to Wang Mian with difficulty: "How about we just admit defeat?"

Wang Mian looked embarrassed: "...Actually, you'll get used to it..."

He could accept that the unreliable guy, Whirlpool, often caused problems, so he could naturally tolerate this kind of minor issue as well.

"Okay, let's continue..."

Wang Mian smiled and raised his hand in a gesture of invitation. He then directly activated the aura of the Divine Ruins.

During the last competition, Wang Mian had already noticed that although Lin Qiye was still very young, the aura of a god on his body was exceptionally strong.

Even though Michael and the God of Time are both gods, the difference between them is so obvious that even King Faith, who is several levels above him, feels uncomfortable.

But Lin Qiye's next move stunned Wang Mian.

Instead of rushing in and starting a fight, he stood still and took out a simple wooden tablet from his pocket.

Lin Qiye smiled slightly: "Using the Divine Ruins right off the bat, Captain Wangmian, you really think highly of me..."

Wang Mian stared intently at what was in his hand, a forced smile on his face: "I have faith in your abilities, so shall we begin?"

Lin Qiye nodded, and the second after Wang Mian moved, he squatted down and slammed the wooden tablet to the ground with his backhand:

"Heaven and Earth—Open the Hexagram!"

A Tai Chi Bagua diagram appeared behind the boy, and the next moment it landed on the ground centered on the wooden tablet, rapidly enlarging until it covered the entire playground.

Wang Mian was stunned, but he felt that the divine aura that had been activated on his body had completely disappeared at this moment.

His strength and speed were forcibly weakened by at least a quarter when the Bagua plate landed.

Most importantly, it belongs to the Divine Ruins of the God of Time!

Wang Mian blankly summoned the Divine Ruins again, only to receive the answer: Unusable.

"What the hell is this?"

He looked at the culprit on the ground.

Lin Qiye waved his hand: "Thanks to my friend Lu Yu for providing this. This is a forbidden item with the effect of a forbidden spell. As for what it forbids, I'm sure you've already sensed it, right?"

When Lin Qiye received the wooden slip from Lu Yu that morning, he believed the girl without any hesitation.

"This is the Ruyi Hexagram, which has the power to seal all laws, especially those related to time and space. As for when to use it, Seven Nights..."

Lu Yu patted him on the shoulder: "You know that, right!"

Lin Qiye gently took the thin wooden slip: "How do I use it?"

If his duel with Wang Mian had taken place at night, these things wouldn't have been necessary. However, the confirmed time was in the afternoon, and during the day, the Starry Night Dancer that Lin Qiye obtained couldn't provide him with the best enhancement.

At this moment, the thing that Lu Yu handed over was a timely help in order to forcefully close the gap in skill level with Wang Mian.

Lu Yu gave him a "Do I need to teach you this?" look: "Have you ever watched Pokémon?"

Lin Qiye's dead fish eyes: "I couldn't see before..." Although he could sense the outside world later, he didn't have the time to watch TV, okay?

"Oh... it's just throwing it on the ground and shouting 'Qiankun Kaigua,' and your Pokémon... cough cough, no, I mean Ruyi Gua is activated! At this time, apart from the user, even a god descending to earth cannot pry it off the ground."

Lin Qiye: ...To be honest, putting aside whether it can be removed or not, I'm afraid it will break if it's dropped...

However, in the end, he still followed Lu Yu's instructions and placed the Ruyi hexagram on the ground.

Although Lu Yu is usually carefree and jovial, she has never lied about anything serious, and Lin Qiye has never doubted her.

small theater:

Lu Yu (talking nonsense) (Master liar) (teary-eyed): Qi Ye! I'm so touched that you believe in me so much... I want to... wave my hand for you~

Lin Qiye (facepalm): Ugly, I refuse...
