Human beings are in a state of deception, and immortality begins with the secret book of origami

Mu Lin was unwilling to despise puppetry and offend all the puppet masters in the world, especially now that he still wanted Master Mengrui, he was even less willing to wear this hat.

But as Master Mengrui's students, Mu Lin, who has nothing to gain from them but has a conflict of interest, doesn't mind offending him.

Therefore, finding the explanation quite troublesome, Mu Lin simply cut the knot quickly and cut off the entanglement with them.

"you……"

This works very well.

The blunt ridicule made Qiao Huihui's face turn red with anger after she reacted.

Mu Lin's words not only angered Qiao Huihui, but also made Master Mengrui's students angry. This time, even Luo Shan didn't have a good look towards Mu Lin.

"Shameless talk!"

"who do you think You Are……"

With their strong hostility, Mu Lin quickly fell into the situation Wan Fu pointed out. Where he was, he was even more isolated by everyone.

But this did not affect Mu Lin's mentality. Instead, he was happy to have found peace.

'Yes, that's it. I don't have time to fight with you. If you win, I will get the reward and leave...'

…

There were many people who glared at Mu Lin because of his words, but they did not include Qin Yuan, Master Mengrui's only inner disciple.

At this moment, he was talking with a few people in the corner.

And if Mu Lin had some clairvoyance ability, he would have discovered that the chatter of a few people was just a cover-up, and what they were really talking about was covered up by some subtle illusions.

"Is Mu Lin's provocation also in your predictions?"

After hearing Qin Yuan's inquiry, a fox-like man surrounding him sighed and spoke.

"Qin Yuan, don't regard our savior as a god. Our leader does have the ability to predict the future. He has also witnessed the collapse of the Great Spirit Dynasty and the coming of endless disasters, but our leader can only predict some key nodes. A few Trivial matters and insignificant people are no longer within the scope of our leader’s prophecy.”

These words made Qin Yuan silent. After a long while, he laughed at himself and said, "Can a waste like me be considered the key?"

"Haha, Brother Qin, don't belittle yourself. According to our leader's prediction, you who have been inherited by Master Mengrui will become a new generation of puppet masters. Because of hatred, you will fight to the death against evil spirits and weirdness, especially against night demons. At that time, you will become the main force..."

The word 'night devil' seemed to stimulate Qin Yuan, making his eyes turn red instantly.

"Don't worry, I will kill all those monsters!"

Having said this, he stared at the fox-like man with bloodshot eyes.

"Zuo Li, don't you have the ability to predict? Tell me, where is that monster Night Demon?"

Upon hearing such a question, Zuo Li did not answer, but waved his hand and said:

"I've said it before, brother Qin, don't worry. With your current strength, you're just going to die if you go to find Night Demon... You don't want the Qin family lineage in Yannan to be completely cut off, right?"

"..."

These words suppressed Qin Yuan's anger and made him calm down a little.

Seeing this, the man named Zuo Li continued: "Of course, we are temporarily unable to defeat the taboo night demon, but we can cut off its followers first. According to our leader's prediction, in three or four months, A disaster will come to Anping City in Wuzhou, and the Night Demon's family will also be involved in this disaster. At that time, Brother Qin will need your help. "

"I will go all out...but I am a talented person, am I really qualified to participate?"

Zuo Li: "Yes, the disaster that will come in three or four months is called the Strange Realm. It is a bubble created by the compression of worlds, a sealed independent space. This space is like a gap, and advanced Qi practitioners cannot enter. , only Qi practitioners from the Lingchi and Linghai realms can enter. At that time, we will have to rely on you, Brother Qin, and your Hua and Die Duoduo."

"The flowers and butterflies are not mine, they belong to Master Mengrui."

"But Master Mengrui values ​​you very much. This assessment was specially prepared by her for you."

…

Mu Lin was not clear about the conversation between the two. At this moment, he was quietly waiting for the game to start.

He didn't wait too long, and soon Master Mengrui came out of the room.

After taking a look at everyone, she showed a smile and said: "You are welcome to take time out of your busy schedule to watch the assessment of my disciples..."

Facing those people from wealthy families, she said some polite words in a coquettish and seductive manner, and her smile made many powerful people from wealthy families feel that they were respected.

Afterwards, Master Mengrui even talked with a group of dignitaries in a graceful manner.

Seeing this scene, Mu Lin didn't say anything.

Qin Yuan, on the other hand, frowned and said, "You said that Master Mengrui values ​​me. In the future, I won't have to waste a lot of time dealing with other people, right?"

Hearing this, Zuo Li sneered.

"You made a mistake. Master Mengrui values ​​his own time more than you, and has no intention of entertaining these people."

"well?!!"

Qin Yuan was stunned by these words. He pointed at Master Mengrui, who had both sides, and said, "Then what is going on?"

"What else can it be, a puppet? Remember one thing, everything you see is Master Mengrui's puppet. As for her true body, according to our leader, in the future, even if the Great Spirit Dynasty collapses and Wuzhou falls , Master Mengrui’s true form has never appeared.”

"It turned out to be like this..."

…

Mu Lin didn't care about Master Mengrui's social interactions. He was standing in the corner, just quietly closing his eyes and concentrating.

After a cup of tea, Master Mengrui's communication finally came to an end. In the process, Mu Lin also learned about her designated competition method.

This competition is divided into two stages. The first stage is the audition elimination round, with a total of six positions.

The selection method is a challenge, that is, everyone can become the challenger and accept challenges from others. As long as they persist to the end in everyone's challenge, they can be selected.

The second round is a regular battle in the ring, where two pairs fight to catch each other and fight.

Then the ranking is determined based on the outcome of the battle.

There was nothing much to say about the competition method. What surprised Mu Lin was the reward given by Master Mengrui.

According to her, the fourth to sixth place only received consolation prizes and received some materials for refining puppets.

The third place can obtain an external strengthening talisman array similar to Vajra Power.

The second place is the puppet map designed and optimized by Master Mengrui himself.

The most important thing is the first place. If you win, you will get the ownership of the flowers and butterflies.

"???"

To be honest, Mu Lin was stunned when he heard this.

According to the test at the beginning, Mu Lin knew that Master Mengrui followed the path of sensibility. The so-called sensibility means that the puppet masters on this path do not regard their puppets as tools, but as friends, family, and partners.

Therefore, Mu Lin didn't understand why she would give away the ownership of the flowers and butterflies.

"Did she say it casually at the time? The real person is just like me, using paper figures and puppets as tools?"

"No, it shouldn't be. Compared to this, the more likely reason is that she has her own plan..."

Thinking like this, Mu Lin focused on Qin Yuan.

If Master Mengrui has a plan, it will definitely be on him. Mu Lin has not forgotten that she found this Qin Yuan personally.

Thinking of Master Mengrui's plan, and then thinking about his own purpose, after thinking for a while, Mu Lin still stood up.

"Master Mengrui."

Seeing Mu Lin raise his hand to ask a question, Mengrui raised her eyebrows and said calmly:

"Something's wrong."

"Well, do you still remember our agreement? If I win, you will help me make a paper puppet."

"Of course I remember."

"But this time the assessment reward does not have the paper puppet option. I would like to ask you to change the reward for first place to this one. Just give it to me alone."

Mu Lin proposed this because he didn't want to cause trouble.

He knew his purpose very well - to ask Master Mengrui to make a paper star that could contact the Big Dipper to speed up his cultivation.

As for the rest of the trouble, he didn't want to get involved and had no intention of paying attention.

After finishing his suggestion, Mu Lin could feel that Master Mengrui was aware of the reason for his suggestion.

However, I don’t know if it’s because he has confidence in his disciples, or because he feels that puppetry is underestimated, or for other reasons.

She was lying lazily and did not follow Mu Lin's words, but smiled and said: "Don't bother, if you win the first place with the paper man made by yourself, I will help you make the star paper man. It can be a condition.”

Having said this, she thought of something and sneered: "Oh, by the way, I remember that Dongfang Ya valued you very much. Now it seems that not only has she become shorter, but her vision has also become worse."

These words immediately made Mu Lin's eyes turn cold.

Mu Lin still respects Dongfang Ya who has helped him a lot.

Because of this, the ridicule from others made Mu Lin feel extremely uncomfortable.

"I think Teacher Dongfang has always had a good taste."

Such a blunt rebuttal made the smile on Mengrui's face disappear a little.

Of course, she maintained her own identity and had no intention of taking action.

"Not convinced?"

After asking like this, without waiting for Mu Lin to answer, she continued:

"Since you are not convinced, let's make a small bet. If you win, I will not only give you the flowers and butterflies, but also make you a star paper man. I will also produce spiritual stones based on the quality of the paper man. Let me give you a step up."

"Don't be afraid of me causing trouble. In front of that little dwarf, no matter what, I don't want to end up with a reputation that I can't afford to lose."

"Of course, even if it is a bet, there is a price. If you lose, you will be punished."

"However, as a senior, I don't want anything from you. Let me think about it..."

Speaking of this, Mengrui's face showed joy and bad taste:

"If you lose, just run to Dongfang Ya and call her shorty."

"How about it? The conditions are generous enough."

Such words and tone made Mu Lin's eyes become even colder.

Looking directly at Mengrui, Mu Lin said quietly:

"You shouldn't insult Teacher Dongfang."
