She became a god

Within a single day, Lu Mingze was twice told he looked familiar by someone right in his face, and he could no longer laugh.

"Is my face that common?"

“It’s not your face.” Liu Qing paused slightly before saying, “It’s the feeling you give me, a feeling that’s very familiar and warm.”

Lu Mingze: ? ? So, did someone take a liking to him at first sight?

“Perhaps we are destined to meet,” Lu Mingze replied with a smile, hiding the folding fan under his sleeve.

Why participate?

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingze smiled slightly, "Same as you."

"Like me?" Liu Qing smiled, a rare occurrence. "I'm not aiming to become Lord Han's son-in-law, but rather..."

Lu Mingze interrupted Liu Qing's statement, "The purpose is not important; the result is what is worth remembering."

The more you know, the more dangerous it becomes. Lu Mingze wasn't curious about Liu Qing, and he didn't want to cause himself any trouble.

"Are you... distancing yourself from me?" Liu Qing carefully chose the right words to ask.

Lu Mingze remained noncommittal, saying, "Even the most destined people need some privacy on their first meeting."

He added with a laugh, "Many words are spoken in an instant; the speaker only wants to say them for a moment, and then regrets it afterwards. At this time, the listener carries a secret that doesn't belong to them, and it's nothing but a burden."

It's unclear whether Liu Qing actually listened, but at least he stopped following them.

A few moments later, Lu Mingze arrived at an inn.

If Di Ziyu were to see this, she would surely exclaim, "Why have we never met before, even though we're both in the same inn?"

The night visitor was in a superior room. The woman was holding a lamp wick, and the dim yellow light cast a warm golden glow on her profile, softening her cold expression.

Upon seeing the woman, Lu Mingze smiled and said, "Sister Chun, have you been waiting long?"

This woman was none other than Wen Xichun, one of the most renowned juniors in Zhongzhou.

Despite the predominantly negative reputation, he is nonetheless very well-known.

Wen Xichun looked up and said, "If you had done less of this fancy stuff, I wouldn't have had to wait this long."

"But... it really feels very fulfilling to bewitch Di Ziyu."

Upon hearing this, Wen Xichun rolled her eyes at the person in front of her, "Ye Qingzhou, you're playing with fire!"

The person opposite them—Lu Mingze, who had been making headlines today—was not the real Lu Mingze, but rather Ye Qingzhou in disguise.

Ye Qingzhou didn't seem to mind, raising an eyebrow and smiling, "That's what makes it exciting!"

"Weren't you here to see Xue Suimu? Why did you take on another job?"

The thought of Ye Qingzhou accepting Han Yan's request under the guise of searching for Xue Suimu left Wen Xichun speechless (ー_ー)!!

"You're not planning to do two things at the same time, are you?"

Ye Qingzhou didn't reply, but her expression said it all.

That's really what she thought.

Wen Xichun's expression turned serious. "It's impossible for all the spirit stones in this world to belong to you alone."

"That's why I'm working hard to expand my business and earn spirit stones!"

“You can earn spirit stones, but if you disguise yourself as a man and disrupt someone else’s marriage proposal in order to earn seven thousand high-grade spirit stones, Lord Han will definitely not let you off if you are discovered.”

Ye Qingzhou shook his head. "I am acting on Miss Han Yan's behalf to help her and her true love get married. It's not a marriage scam."

"Besides, if I were capable of being discovered, I would have been found the moment I stepped into Snow City. How could I have been able to live so freely until today?"

Wen Xichun frowned. "You're quite proud of your conning skills?"

Ye Qingzhou wasn't ashamed at all; on the contrary, he was proud. "This shows that I'm smart and have a brain! And I've only done good things!"

“On that day, Miss Han begged me for help in a humble voice and even spent a lot of money to entrust me with the task. I really couldn’t think of a reason to refuse her.”

"If Miss Han marries the wrong person in the future, she will definitely resent you."

Ye Qingzhou laughed and said, "What does this have to do with me? Miss Han chose her own path. I can only help her walk a part of it, but I can't walk the whole path for her."

"Sister Chun, are you worried that Miss Han might retaliate against me?"

Wen Xichun nodded almost imperceptibly, and upon seeing this, Ye Qingzhou smiled, revealing two small dimples.

"She looked exactly the same when I first met her."

"But anyone who has met Yuantong will have some doubts, such as Di Ziyu."

Ye Qingzhou smiled at the risks raised by Wen Xichun.

"With truth and falsehood mixed together, it will only make it easier for me to extricate myself in the future."

Even with Wen Xichun's tumultuous and complex experiences, her skills in deception and disguise relied on the teachings of Canghai Pavilion and were honed through repeated brushes with death. Ye Qingzhou's words sounded like the kind of profound sentiments only someone who makes a living by deception could express.

Therefore, Wen Xichun remained silent for a long time before hesitatingly asking the question.

"Have you always been this good at lying since you were little?"

Ye Qingzhou removed her hair crown, and her long black hair fell down. Although she still had a masculine appearance, she inexplicably gained a touch of charm.

She chuckled and said, "Smart people are naturally smart from a young age."

Don't your parents care?

Perhaps she had drunk a bit too much today, and had been laughing the whole time, because tiny tears welled up in Ye Qingzhou's eyes, and her face showed signs of intoxication.

"My mother is very busy. When she sees me, she praises me for being clever. She tells me that it is not terrible to have weak cultivation, but it is terrible to have a weak mind."

"In the cultivation world, it's a dog-eat-dog world. To put it bluntly, it's either you beat me or I beat you; to put it more politely, it's either you lie to me or I lie to you."

"If you don't have a strong enough fist, you must have a high enough IQ, otherwise you will only be a pawn and be played with by others."

"I, Ye Qingzhou, was born a woman, never to be inferior to others, but to be the master of my own destiny."

"Open the window and look down, there are hordes of people."

"Humans are very complex and interesting creatures. When you observe carefully, you will find that there is nothing new under the sun."

Ye Qingzhou laughed heartily, “The methods I have used have been used by others throughout the long river of time. It’s just that the combinations I used with them were different, the timing of my attacks was different, and the targets were different.”

She spoke so casually, yet it was remarkably accurate.

Wen Xichun exclaimed sincerely, "You have great insight!"

"Hehe, I'm the cutest bear in the universe, loved by everyone, making flowers bloom and cars get flat tires just by looking at me. Just so you know, I possess both wisdom and beauty, my talent is unparalleled throughout history and across the world, and my charm is boundless, captivating countless lives without any responsibility..."

Seeing that Ye Qingzhou's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Wen Xichun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I know your mother agrees to you lying, but what does your father think?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhou stopped her endless boasting. She yawned, as if to confirm, "Father?"

"Correct."

Ye Qingzhou muttered for a while, but Wen Xichun couldn't hear her strange voice at all. In the end, all she heard was Ye Qingzhou chuckle, "He doesn't care about me anyway."

Wen Xichun wanted to ask for clarification, but found that Ye Qingzhou had already staggered onto the bed.
