Chapter 42 Big Deceiver

  Yun Fei blinked her big eyes and pretended to be in awe: "You're so fierce, did you used to study martial arts?"

  Luo Cheng was stunned, where had he ever learned any martial arts from anyone? That time when he fought alone, winning was purely accidental, it was just like a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse, and it was only because there was a mysterious master secretly helping him that he was able to defeat Liu Wei and obtain the final victory. In terms of real skills, he was not even close to being Liu Wei's opponent.

  Of course, he absolutely won't reveal the truth of the matter, because he has already blown everything out of proportion. If others were to know the truth, wouldn't his carefully crafted glorious image collapse instantly? His classmates and friends would laugh at him! This kind of person is absolutely unbearable!

  He rolled his eyes and made up a story: "I once learned kung fu from a mysterious martial artist for a period of time, my skills are not bad, but I'm a low-key person, I've never shown off in front of others. If Liu Wei hadn't been so arrogant that day, I wouldn't have taken action."

  Zhao Rui couldn't help but laugh, thinking that the fatty had really forgotten his pain after being wounded. Clearly, on that night when Liu Wei found someone to take revenge, he was beaten to the point of having no power to fight back. Now, seeing a beautiful girl, he started bragging again.

  "Mysterious Warrior?"

  Yun Fei blinked her beautiful big eyes, and the excited light in them flashed. She didn't expect that she would dig up an important clue so quickly.

  "Where did you learn martial arts? Dong'an or your hometown?"

  Luo Cheng originally wanted to say it was his hometown, but since there was no evidence and it wasn't easy to reveal the truth, he felt that wouldn't be sensational enough. So, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Maybe others won't believe it, but I'm telling you, it's really in Dong'an!"

  "Really?"

  Yun Fei's face was filled with excitement, almost jumping up and down, applauding herself for being brilliant and clever. She thought she really had the talent to be a detective.

  "Of course it's true." Luo Cheng said with a serious face, guaranteeing solemnly, "I never tell lies."

  Zhao Rui pursed his lips, forcing himself to hold back his laughter, not letting himself burst out laughing. This fatty was really too good at spouting nonsense, and had actually fooled that cunning and crafty little girl Yunfei into being completely bewildered.

  "That mysterious martial artist must be incredibly powerful!" Yunfei continued to ask.

  "Unfathomable."

  "Have you ever seen him in action? How old is he? What does he look like? Has he ever come to our school?" Yunfei fired off a string of questions, wanting to get all the information out of Luo Cheng at once.

  "This... can't be revealed." Luo Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "That mysterious martial artist had warned me not to leak his information carelessly."

  Yun Fei was taken aback, not expecting the silly-looking fat guy in front of her to be so tight-lipped, and at a critical moment, he didn't say anything! It really left her heart hanging in mid-air, feeling both anxious and uncomfortable.

  She didn't expect that it wasn't that Luo Cheng didn't want to say, but she asked too many questions too quickly, and Luo Cheng couldn't come up with a lie in time, so he had to find an excuse to stall for the moment.

  Yunfei didn't get discouraged from being refused, she continued to ask: "Some time ago, Lì Yǒng Fist Hall was kicked out, could it be that the mysterious martial artist who taught you martial arts did it? The day after Li Lìyǒng injured you, Lì Yǒng Fist Hall got kicked out, this is very suspicious!"

  Luo Cheng was startled, the Kicking Hall incident had blown up big time, even the police were involved in the investigation, he wasn't stupid enough to implicate himself in that matter.

  He couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he had bragged too much, so he hastily and flusteredly made excuses: "It shouldn't be a big deal, because I also asked him before, and he said he had something on that day."

  "Really?"

  Yun Fei glanced at Luo Cheng, very suspicious, feeling that he seemed to be lying.

  Zhao Rui now understood Yunfei's intention.

  Yunfei's sudden change in attitude and approaching their dormitory was because Yunfei had begun to suspect that the person who went to Li Yong's boxing gym to cause trouble was related to Luo Cheng, so she came over to investigate.

  Zhao Rui found it somewhat strange, why Yunfei this little girl didn't come to ask at the time, but instead waited until now? Did she only start having doubts now? If that's really the case, then what triggered her suspicions?

  He furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, and felt that the trick he had accidentally revealed two nights ago was likely to be the fuse.

  Yunfei wasn't present and didn't see it with her own eyes, but after hearing the rumors, the doubts that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time were completely ignited.

  Zhao Rui glanced at Yunfei, who was frowning and deep in thought, and couldn't help but curve up the corners of his mouth into a smile.

  This little girl has an exceptionally keen intuition, but unfortunately, she found the wrong object and was fooled by Luo Cheng's nonsense, leading her investigation in the wrong direction. It will probably take a long time for her to figure out what's going on, which is enough to give her a headache.

  Yunfei was annoyed at heart, turned her head and caught Zhao Rui's smile at the corner of his mouth.

  She thought Zhao Rui was mocking her for being useless and not being able to get more information about the mysterious warrior from Luo Cheng, so she got angry, puffed out her cheeks and said: "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

  "There's nothing, I just think you're cute." Zhao Rui said with a smile.

  Yun Fei heard this sentence and was taken aback for a moment, feeling extremely surprised that Zhao Rui would actually praise her as lovely.

  She was beautiful, and from a young age, others had lavished her with praise, but she had long since grown numb to it. Yet, for some reason, Zhao Rui's casual remark brought her a sense of joy and pride that she hadn't felt in a long time.

  Yun Fei's heart was filled with joy and pride, but her face showed a calm and natural expression, she proudly lifted her small head:

  "I've always been cute."

  Zhao Rui shook his head, thinking that this little girl was really beyond salvation in her self-love.

  Yunfei stayed in Zhao Rui's dormitory for a while, until she really couldn't get anything out of Luo Cheng's mouth. She then returned excitedly and wanted to sort out all the clues she got today, trying her best to expose the ancient warrior hidden in the school as soon as possible.

  However, what she didn't expect was that there were no ancient martial artists in the school, only a cultivator who was cultivating an ancient demonic technique. Moreover, this person was none other than Zhao Rui, who often appeared before her eyes!
