I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 523 Nine Trues and One False

Someone stole my token.

And this person wants you dead.

"."

When Chu Xianping said these words calmly, whether Zhuang Zhiming believed it or not, he shuddered subconsciously.

The pupils contracted suddenly, the uncontrollable internal force surged, and the tables and chairs trembled violently.

Zhuang Zhiming just stared at Chu Xianping with wide-eyed eyes, and after an unknown period of time, he forced out a question word by word from his throat.

"When did that person steal your token?"

"Half a month ago."

Chu Xianping looked at Zhuang Zhiming, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Elder Zhuang, I know what you want to ask."

"I'm not afraid to tell you, actually."

"I had two elder tokens before."

"."

"Crack!"

"boom!!!"

As Chu Xianping finished speaking, the pear wood tea table in Zhuang Zhiming's hand could no longer withstand the high-frequency vibration, and finally exploded into countless pieces.

The splinters flew across Zhuang Zhiming's astonished face and Chu Xianping's unstained green robe, and then hit the wall, leaving small dents.

Immediately, dense footsteps sounded outside the house, as if many people were rushing towards the main hall.

But in the next second, these movements were stopped by Chu Xianping with one sentence.

"Nothing! They're all gone!"

"."

The dense voices stopped abruptly in an instant, only the sound of the wind remained.

Chu Xianping glanced at the figures that were quickly dispersing outside the house, and then turned his gaze back to Zhuang Zhiming with a livid face.

"Elder Zhuang, do you want me to repeat to you what happened at the last elder meeting?"

"."

"No need."

Zhuang Zhiming took a deep breath, his eyes became colder and colder: "But how do I know whether what you said is true or not?"

"You said that you once had two tokens, and the elder Qingtai's token was stolen, so what is the identity of the other token?"

"Who owns the token of Elder Qingtai now?"

"Also... that person, why does he want me to die?"

Zhuang Zhiming didn't ask "How did you find out my identity?", which Chu Xianping obviously wouldn't answer. Zhuang Zhiming's three consecutive questions were all to verify the truth of what the former said.

If Chu Xianping couldn't give a reasonable explanation, or made a fuss about it, then he definitely wouldn't believe such an outrageous thing.

But Chu Xianping was naturally prepared for this.

The most seamless lie must be mixed with the truth.

The higher the percentage of truth, the harder it is for the lie to be detected.

Now what Chu Xianping wants to tell is a story of "nine truths and one falsehood".

"Elder Zhuang, you must have checked me already."

"But now you should also know that what you found is not true."

"So let me introduce myself again first."

"A two-point rudder, Baidian, Chu Xianping."

"."

From how I traveled all the way from Baidian in the extreme north to Daning.

From how to "get to know" Xiao Feng, to "turning an enemy into a friend" with Wei Changtian.

From how to "know each other" with Xu Suisui, to how the two "turned against each other".
In Chu Xianping's story, almost every "plot" he said is true.

It's just that there is no old Zhangtou, Xuantianjian remnant soul, or even Wei Changtian in the story.

Some are just him—

Kui Longjia has two rudders, born in Baidian, Chu Xianping.

"."

Chu Xianping chose such an "identity" after careful consideration.

To make Zhuang Zhiming believe in himself, he must be at least a "Kuilong man".

For this reason, yesterday Wei Changtian specifically asked about the situation of the remnant soul Kuilong's sub-helms, and even roughly drew a "world map" based on this.

Chu Xianping looked around on the map, and finally chose the second helm where the White Palace is located.

He didn't worry at all whether Zhuang Zhiming would have doubts, let alone that the latter would send someone to verify the authenticity of the matter.

Because Kuilong's sub-rudders are almost completely independent, it is difficult for Zhuang Zhiming to find out anything.

Even if it is possible, it will take at least a year or two to go back and forth. By then, the matter on Daning's side may have already been settled.

Therefore, Chu Xianping "borrowed" part of Lao Zhangtou's experience in such an aboveboard manner.

After the identity issue is resolved, the next step is his relationship with Wei Changtian.

This part of Chu Xianping's "replacement" was the remnant soul of Xuantianjian.

It's just that the remnant soul helped Wei Changtian for "shouyuan", and he "for" to obtain Wei Changtian's miraculous technique to kill the second rank.
So far, Chu Xianping's statement cannot be said to be seamless, but it can indeed be justified.

He is the elder Kuilong himself. After arriving in Daning, he first became friends with Xiao Feng, then made a deal with Wei Changtian, and has always shown himself as Wei Changtian's disciple, and finally got a second elder token from the latter .

Although many details are not perfect, it is impossible to explain this kind of thing in too much detail, so no matter how much Zhuang Zhiming doubts it, he still believes it more than half in his heart.

As for the most important part, the part about Xu Suisui
"."

"As you wish."

Frowning, Zhuang Zhiming squinted and asked, "Wei Changtian doesn't know Kuilong?"

"he knows."

Chu Xianping shook his head: "But he doesn't know about the Council of Elders."

"No wonder he reacted that way when he first saw me."

Zhuang Zhiming squinted his eyes and asked again: "So you told him that I am the third-party helmsman?"

"Yes, after all, it was decided at the elders' meeting last time that you would contact people around Qin Zhengqiu."

Chu Xianping smiled: "I just reminded him."

"I see."

Nodded, no matter whether Zhuang Zhiming believed this set of rhetoric or not, Chu Xianping's identity as Elder Kuilong was [-]% confirmed to him.

but
"Then how did you know that I am also an elder?"

"Since you already knew my identity, why did you send orders to me in the name of the Presbyterian Church?"

"Are you not afraid that I will expose you?"

"."

"Elder Zhuang, if I had known your identity earlier, how could I have done such a stupid thing."

With a wry smile and a sip of tea, Chu Xianping's helpless expression was extremely realistic: "Actually, I only recently found out that you are also an elder."

"Is it?"

Zhuang Zhiming looked over noncommittally: "How did you find out?"

"I didn't check, someone told me."

"who is it?"

"It's the one who stole my token."

"."

Zhuang Zhiming's body trembled suddenly, and his breathing became a little short.

He stared at Chu Xianping, quietly waiting for the follow-up.

The latter, after being silent for a few breaths, sighed softly and continued.

"Elder Zhuang, this person is a woman."

"Well, I'm not afraid of your jokes, but in fact, I was deceived by her before."

"That's why she was able to steal the Qingtai Token from me."

"And next, her target is you."

"."

A few simple words contain too much information and hide too much information.

If Chu Xianping didn't tell the previous "story", but directly threw out such a cloudy explanation, then Zhuang Zhiming would probably not believe it.

But now, after basically confirming Chu Xianping's identity, he fell into deep thought for a long time.

"So. This woman is also a member of Kuilong?"

"nature."

"She wants to control the Council of Elders?"

"Yes."

"How did she know who you and I are?"

"I am not sure."

"Why did she tell you my identity?"

"Because she wanted to lure me to kill you so that she could reap the benefits."

"You didn't agree?"

"of course."

"You didn't wonder why she knew this at the time?"

"Elder Zhuang, I just said that I was deceived by her."

"Then she."

The broken wood scattered on the ground was very messy, Zhuang Zhiming paused, and asked the last question slowly: "What is it called?"

"."

"Xu Sui."
