Chapter 988: Lying

Editor: Atlas Studios

“Forget it, forget it. I’ll go down the mountain after this matter is resolved. I won’t snatch any of the treasures anymore. It’s already good enough that I can keep my life today.”

“That smell is really disgusting. If I had that kind of thing, I might as well just die.”

The merchants continued to discuss.

Yu Su looked at Mo Ting and asked loudly, “Steward Mo.”

Mo Ting turned around and looked at the exceptionally beautiful girl in front of him. He asked coldly, “What’s the matter?”

Yu Su said, “Most of the people on Mount Zhongnan have contracted this strange illness, right?”

“Yes!” Mo Ting replied indifferently, not even bothering to look up.

Yu Su asked again, “You’re lying.”

“What?” Mo Ting raised his eyebrows and looked at Yu Su with wide eyes.

Yu Su said firmly, “Your people didn’t get this illness after we came up the mountain. You guys had already fallen sick a week ago, and only a small number of people escaped.” Her voice was clear and convincing.

“Huh?”

“Is that true?”

“What’s going on? Could it be that the people from Mount Zhongnan have been lying to us?”

“The people on the mountain are sick, yet they still want us to go up the mountain. Aren’t they trying to get us killed?”

“Steward Mo, what exactly do you want to do?”

Everyone was discussing fervently and were extremely angry.

Mo Ting sized Yu Su up carefully with a strange glint in his eyes and asked unhurriedly, “It seems that you’re quite knowledgeable about this illness. Could it be that you’re also a doctor? Or could it be that you’re the one who caused the illness on our mountain?”

“Ha!” Yu Su sneered, her face full of mockery.

An Ran glared at Yu Su. “What are you laughing at? Do you believe that I’ll get Master Kong Chen to throw you to the wild beasts? How dare you be disrespectful to Steward Mo?”

As the manager, Mo Ting had treated his subordinates extremely well. The surrounding people also looked at Yu Su angrily, as if they were about to rush up and beat her up.

Yu Su smiled. “I’m laughing at you for hiding it from us. I’m laughing at you for framing us. The tumor on your bodies is not because you were poisoned or sick at all, but because you were cursed. How long are you going to lie to us?”

She understood that they had asked these merchants to come over this time to find some scapegoats.

Mo Ting was shocked. “How did you know?” These words admitted that the tumor had nothing to do with this group of merchants.

The merchants were excited.

“What? This is a curse?”

“What does that have to do with us? Why did you lure us here?”

“Alright, the people of Mount Zhongnan are too shameless.”

“In my opinion, this transaction of treasures is also fake. The goal is to lure us over.”

“I’m not convinced. I want to report this to the Metaphysics Management Office. You people from Mount Zhongnan are too arrogant.”

Everyone discussed animatedly. At this moment, the square was even more chaotic than the market.

“Silence! Silence!” Mo Ting shouted a few times, but no one listened to him. He directly got someone to seal the mouths of a few people to prevent them from making a sound. Only then did the square calm down.

Mo Ting looked at Yu Su. “Young friend, it seems that you have a deep understanding of this tumor. Can we talk in private?” He asked respectfully.

Yu Su smiled. “I don’t dare to go. What if I get blamed again?”

She and Wen Chuan looked at each other. Wen Chuan took the opportunity to retreat behind the crowd and disappeared on the spot. He had already used a spiritual artifact to block his aura, so his presence was not strong. Coupled with the fact that Yu Su had attracted the attention of everyone, no one noticed his disappearance.

This was what they had agreed on. When there was a chance, the two of them would split up and scout Mount Zhongnan. Wen Chuan’s cultivation was the highest, so it was most suitable for him to scout the way.

Mo Ting frowned. “Tell me, what do you want? As long as Mount Zhongnan has it, I can trade with you.”

This tumor had already infected 70% of people. If it continued to develop, all the people on the mountain would probably grow such a terrifying thing.

Yu Su smiled and sat on the stool. She said leisurely, “Sure, I want to see the Thunder God. Can you make the decision?”

The arrival of the Thunder God was the latest news on Mount Zhongnan.

Mo Ting frowned. “I’ll go ask for permission. Wait a moment.” With that, he turned around and left.

Legend has it that the Thunder God was the God of Punishment of Mount Zhongnan. If anyone dared to hurt innocent disciples on the mountain, the Thunder God would punish them. However, no one had ever seen the true appearance of the Thunder God.

Recently, there were rumors that the Thunder God had appeared. Moreover, his magic power was boundless. His magic power had already entered the Supreme God Realm.

After Mo Ting left, An Ran glanced at Yu Su. “Why did you say that this tumor is a curse?”

“I could tell at a glance.” Yu Su shrugged her shoulders and said innocently.
