Their commission was suspicious.

In any case, neither is very likely...

"You better tell me the truth, kid. Don't try to fool me like you're a child. I've already figured out the truth," Ye Yunshang said, squinting her eyes.

"What truth?" Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, then took out the [108 Anti-Fraud Methods]. The [108 Anti-Fraud Methods] were useful, but they wouldn't work if they were kept in his backpack; they could only be taken out when needed.

"Regarding... your identity. You don't think I'm stupid, do you? I'm not that easily fooled little girl like Liu Huaixi. I don't think the 'can't tell, I really can't' part is just because you have an A-level talent and an S-level talent."

"And the idea that the abilities are affected because there are too many talented people is even more nonsense. The idea that they've been overwhelmed is even more outrageous."

"So... you really intend to continue hiding it? You need some skill to coax a child, let alone lie to me?" Ye Yunshang's gaze was somewhat sharp.

Although both Chen Luo and Ye Yunshang knew that Ye Yunshang was no match for Chen Luo, they still had to maintain a certain air of authority.

"..." After discovering that there was no negative feedback at all regarding the 108 Anti-Fraud Laws, Chen Luo fell silent for a moment.

Since there has been no negative feedback regarding the 108 methods for preventing fraud, it means that what Ye Yunshang said is true.

Since it's true, it means Ye Yunshang has discovered the truth... or at least part of it.

However, Chen Luo wasn't unhappy at all. In any case, Chen Luo hadn't planned to hide it from Ye Yunshang for long. It was just that being exposed so quickly was a bit of a blow to Chen Luo.

Is my acting really that bad?

No, no, no, it is Heaven's will that has destroyed me, not my fault in battle.

It was all Liu Huaixi's fault.

This Photoshop eye seems more suitable for Ye Yunshang, at least Ye Yunshang's riddle-solving ability is much stronger than Liu Huaixi's.

"Well, since we've come this far, I won't hide it from you anymore. Yes, you guessed right." Chen Luo said, taking out a contract from his backpack.

Although Chen Luo still believed in Ye Yunshang, a contract was still necessary.

Thinking about it carefully, Ye Yunshang had treated him quite well. Whether it was because she thought he was handsome, dashing, generous, enthusiastic, cheerful, and eager to learn, or because she liked Su Yuan as a disciple and thus extended her affection to Chen Luo, it didn't matter.

Ye Yunshang did not forget to call Chen Luo three times when she met the Heavenly Emperor, which was indeed more than enough.

Although Chen Luo had no interest in meeting the Heavenly Emperor.

"I knew you weren't that simple... You have two S-rank talents and you didn't tell me, you just pretend to be weak all day. Is that fun?"

"But I've never actually seen a double S-level talent user before. Be good, stand still and let your older sister take a good look." Ye Yunshang muttered as she reached out to Chen Luo.

"I knew it. A single S-rank talent couldn't possibly resist a fate-based ability that requires specialization. There must be another reason."

"..." Chen Luo's hand, which was holding the contract, paused.

Judging from general rationality, Ye Yunshang did indeed guess part of the truth.

Chen Luo does indeed have two S-level talents, or even more than two.

From a purely rational perspective, even with the wildest imagination, it's possible that Ye Yunshang couldn't guess that Chen Luo was the River God.

Damn it, I should always keep the mind-reading stance of the Law of Knowledge in mind.

Chen Luo felt somewhat embarrassed.

Because he had never been alarmed by Ye Yunshang's discovery of his identity, Chen Luo did not use his mind-reading ability on Ye Yunshang just now.

Mind reading, especially of one's own friends and elders, is a very excessive thing.

If you don't want to become friendless, you'd better tone it down in this regard.

Moreover, Chen Luo's Herrscher of Knowledge ability is only S-rank, so there's no guarantee that he won't be discovered.

"Hmm, what's that piece of paper in your hand?"

"It's nothing." Chen Luo simply put the contract away.

"What secret are you hiding now? Tell me all at once! Don't worry, I'm pretty resilient. I didn't break down even after being insulted in the game all day," Ye Yunshang said.

"Yes, that makes sense. It's not good to keep it from you all this time, and it's just too much trouble." Chen Luo nodded.

Chen Luo then took out the confidentiality agreement.

Chen Luo felt that her feelings shouldn't be wasted like this.

Otherwise, wouldn't it make me look really stupid?

So let's just lay our cards on the table.

"Actually, I am the River God!" Chen Luo said very seriously.

Chapter 1043 The Herrscher of Knowledge: These women aren't good people!

A minor incident is taking place on the second floor.

Downstairs, Liu Huaixi, who had firmly refused Su Yuan's swordsmanship instruction, also focused her attention on a sword hanging in the hall.

That sword clearly looked like an ordinary sword, much like a decoration that an ordinary family would hang up to show off their interests.

But just as Liu Huaixi's eyes were about to sweep past the decoration and look at other items, she suddenly realized...

It seemed like something different was displayed on that sword just now.

After awakening her talent, Liu Huaixi developed a habit of thoroughly exploring any new environment she was in. No matter how small the item was, Liu Huaixi would take a look at it—this was also for her own safety.

While knowing more doesn't always mean better, such as certain taboo knowledge, Liu Huaixi's talent will automatically filter out such information if it would have a negative impact on her.

For example, Liu Huaixi couldn't see the contents of items related to the Chaos type.

On her first visit to Chen Luo's house, Liu Huaixi was so focused on Chen Luo himself that she didn't even have time to carefully observe the environment of Chen Luo's home.

Until now.

Liu Huaixi's gaze was drawn to an ancient sword hanging above Chen Luojia's living room, and she subconsciously walked over to it.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Are you interested in this sword?" Su Yuan noticed Liu Huaixi's unusual behavior and accompanied her to the sword.

"This sword... I can't even see through it." Liu Huaixi looked at the seemingly ordinary sword with disbelief.

"Oh, really?" Su Yuan also became interested and then carefully examined the sword.

"Oh, it's this sword." After looking at the sword for a while, Su Yuan recognized it.

"Isn't this the sword that breaks easily but repairs itself?"

"It breaks easily and then automatically repairs itself?" Liu Huaixi was completely baffled by this feature.

During his time with the relevant departments, Liu Huaixi helped them identify many items from the Abyss Passage, earning a fortune while also broadening his horizons.

Liu Huaixi had seen many magical items, but this was the first time he had ever heard of such a useless magical item.

It breaks easily but automatically heals itself... What's the point?

Moreover, Su Yuan's description did not match the photoshopped image that Liu Huaixi saw.

[ ]

This is the description of the sword in the Photoshop eye.

It's not that there's nothing there, but rather that the PS (photoshopping interface) for this sword is blank.

This note seems to say something, but it also seems to say nothing at all.

Such a note is unique even among the countless props that Liu Huaixi has seen in the relevant departments over the past few days.

Even the bottle that the Discipline called the highest-grade Abyss Passage item had some words written on it.

This sword, hanging so prominently in the living room, couldn't possibly be more valuable than that prop that's supposedly a super high-end item, could it?

As for whether it might be something harmful to me?

Even for something like this, it should display a warning or a bunch of gibberish.

Instead of being a blank page like it is now, yet it does contain content.

Or should we wait until our talent reaches a higher level before we can unveil this mystery?

"You mean this?" The Herrscher of Knowledge stood beside the two, arms crossed, looking with interest at the hanging Xuanyuan Sword.

"You recognize it? No, you definitely do, but do you know its name?" Su Yuan asked curiously.

If Su Yuan asked Chen Luo what the sword was called, Chen Luo certainly wouldn't hide it, but Su Yuan had always treated the sword as a fun toy and had never asked.

It's like the Friendship Revolver.

Therefore, Su Yuan never asked for his name.

"This sword, its name is..."

Cover your ears, don't listen!

Liu Huaixi was shocked when she saw this notification.

What happened?

However, Liu Huaixi did not hesitate at all. Before the Herald of Knowledge could say the name of the sword, she immediately covered her ears.

What kind of sword is this? It's so powerful that you can't even hear its name.

Although Liu Huaixi was very curious, she also understood the saying that curiosity killed the cat.

Ultimately, Liu Huaixi chose the desire to survive over the desire for knowledge.

Between seeking answers (liberation) and preserving one's life, one chose to preserve one's life.

Honestly, Liu Huaixi rarely gets so excited about her own talent.

By imbuing your palms with spiritual energy and then covering your ears, you can achieve a perfect soundproofing effect.

Furthermore, the Herald of Knowledge did not use a loud voice, successfully ensuring that Liu Huaixi heard nothing.

Liu Huaixi's actions startled both the Herrscher of Knowledge and Su Yuan. Realizing their current situation, the Herrscher of Knowledge instinctively uttered the name of the Xuanyuan Sword before covering her mouth and glaring at Su Yuan.

Upon hearing the name Xuanyuan Sword, Su Yuan realized that she had seemingly caused a little trouble, so she took two steps to the side, feeling somewhat guilty.

"Don't look at me like that. At least Huaixi didn't hear you, did she?" Su Yuan said with an awkward smile.

Since the Lawbringer is currently speaking the truth, Su Yuan, who asked this question, must be the culprit.

"This little one's talent is truly amazing. According to her own words, it's 'This talent has the potential to be an emperor,'" the Herrscher of Knowledge said, turning to examine Liu Huaixi.

The fact that he was able to detect the anomaly of the Xuanyuan Sword shows that this talent is somewhat present, and coupled with his timely action of covering his ears, it's not hard to imagine just how intelligent this talent is.

Moreover, it can be predicted that Liu Huaixi will definitely live for a long time, because both she herself and her natural will to survive are very strong.

With such a strong will to survive, plus such convenient talents, it's believable that she could survive until the end of the world and become the Herrscher of Knowledge.

Sigh, why is someone so young so driven to survive? Has she been through some kind of brutal beating in society?

"If I were to pry open her castrated hands and tell her the name of the Xuanyuan Sword, what would her talent suggest she do?" the Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly asked Su Yuan.

Chen Luoneng could sense the spiritual energy membrane covering Liu Huaixi's ears and was certain that the other party had not heard the name of Xuanyuan Sword and could not hear any sound at all.

"This... Xiao Shi, are you a devil?" Su Yuan complained.

"Help!" Just as the Herrscher of Knowledge was guessing what Liu Huaixi would say, Liu Huaixi, still covering her ears, began to shout loudly.

[The time to test your voice has come! Shout for help! The woman next to you isn't a good person! ...Long live Ms. Xiaoshi!!! (Voice cracks)]

"..." The Herrscher of Knowledge looked at Liu Huaixi, who was shouting for help, with a strange expression.

This talent... is really something.

The Law of Knowledge did not hear Liu Huaixi's earlier thoughts, but when the Law of Knowledge read minds, it heard the voice of "Long live Lady Xiaoshi!!!"

Gee tut.

The Herald of Knowledge doesn't know how much this talent knows, but the Herald of Knowledge knows that this talent is truly amazing.

The kind of casino where you absolutely won't lose!

Unless the person she's betting against is Chen Luo

Or perhaps winning would be life-threatening.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Chen Luo burst out of the door and rushed downstairs after hearing the cries for help.

"I don't know, my talent made me call for help. It seems to be about this sword." Liu Huaixi shook his head and looked at the Xuanyuan Sword.

"..." Seeing Liu Huaixi looking at the Xuanyuan Sword while covering her ears, and the Herrscher of Knowledge and Su Yuan standing on either side of Liu Huaixi, Chen Luo probably understood something.

"What do you two want to do to her?" Chen Luo said with a dark face.
