Chapter Fifty-Four: You Dare Deceive Me

  Yang Xiao's eyes stared at the location where the sound came from, and he said word by word: "Since you've all spoken up, are you afraid to show yourselves?"

  In the darkness, that person let out a cold laugh and said: "We're all old friends now, it's no big deal to see you." As soon as the words fell, a figure slowly walked out. After seeing this person's appearance, Sun Baozi's legs went soft, and he almost sat down on the ground with a thud. It turned out that the person who emerged from the darkness was over sixty but not yet seventy years old, wearing a black high-collared Zhongshan suit, with a shiny bald head without a single hair, none other than Lingyun Pavilion's former master, now an advisor to the Civil Affairs Bureau - Xiao Heshang.

  Xiao He Shang appeared at the same time, raised his hand and threw something over, just heard a "clanging" sound, it was the copper nail that Yang Xiao had knocked out earlier.

  Yang Xiao's right hand had already clenched into a fist, ready to press down his thumb, but seeing the copper nail being thrown back, he could only reluctantly give up.

  At this time, Xiao Heihe smiled and looked at Liu Baozhen who was still trying to open the coffin. "This Liu Baozhen is also a pitiful person," he said. "Originally, he was a disciple of Zhang Renzheng from Longhu Mountain, but unfortunately, he later found the wrong master. As a result, he lost his life at the hands of his master and didn't even leave behind a complete corpse. In the end, it was his own master who divided his soul and imprisoned Liu Baozhen in a jar for over a hundred years, until he almost went mad before being released."

  Xiao He Shang said up to here, paused for a moment, he slowly walked to Liu Bao Zhen's side and continued in a slow tone: "He can't find the remaining soul, so he can't reincarnate. Unfortunately, even if he found the soul, it would be impossible to move."

  After finishing speaking, Xiao He Shang stretched out his hand to grab the coffin lid and lifted it up with a swift motion. The 50-60 kg coffin lid was lifted into the air about 4-5 meters high before hitting the wall and falling to the ground. Xiao He Shang's action made Sun Bao Zi's small eyes widen instantly, staring at Xiao He Shang for a while before squeezing out two words from between his teeth: "Luo Ben..."

  After hearing Sun's words, 'Xiao He Shang' turned his face around, looked at Sun for a long time, and said in a somewhat gloomy tone: "Luo Ben - he died at your hands, and now there is no way to save him."

  Here is the translation:

  "Up to here, Xiao He Shang paused for a moment, looking at Sun Baozi's pale face and smiled, saying: "Don't worry, I'm not here to take revenge on Luo Ben, at least not today. I borrowed this person's skin bag, originally wanted to mix in with you guys, use your identity to help me do something. But thinking about your performance in prison, it seems that just relying on this skin bag, probably can't deceive you either. So might as well create some trouble for you, originally wanted to lure out a few of you rascals, use you guys to make a deal with that person. But unexpectedly, my luck is just so good!"

  At this point, 'Xiao He Shang' suddenly looked up at the sky and burst out laughing. After his laughter subsided, he continued to say: "That person actually came with you! Originally prepared to pick a sesame seed, but in the end, it was a watermelon that came!"

  Just as 'Xiao He Shang' was speaking, Liu Baozhen was about to pounce into the coffin. But every time she seemed about to jump in, 'Xiao He Shang' would stretch out his hand and tap the coffin lightly with his finger, and the opening of the coffin would seem to be blocked by an invisible net, so that Liu Baozhen was always stopped by this unseen barrier just as she was about to leap into the coffin.

  Xiao He Shang said to Sun Bao Zi, then looked at Liu Bao Zhen who was still trying to jump into the coffin. He shook his head and said to Liu Bao Zhen: "I will help you recombine your soul, but not now. After I finish this matter, I will help you recombine your soul and reincarnate as a repayment for your help this time."

  He finished this sentence, and Liu Baozhen, who had originally started to go crazy, suddenly became quiet. Although he was still staring straight at the coffin, he didn't rush in immediately.

  After 'Xiao He Shang' appeared, Yang Xiao didn't say a word and just stared at him coldly. Sun Baozi was silent for a moment, then blinked his eyes and smiled at 'Xiao He Shang', saying: "Wu Renyi is about to arrive, do you really have a way to deal with him? Not that I'm talking, but I've known him for a long time and never heard of him losing out."

  Xiao Heshang turned his head and took a look at Sun Baozi, then seemed to remember something funny and burst into laughter again. When the laughter stopped, he said to Sun Baozi: "I also know a Wu Renyu, I don't know if it's the same person you're talking about."

  After finishing speaking, 'Xiao He Shang' suddenly swung his hand, and a coffin came crashing out of the stone cave behind him. After the coffin landed, it was smashed into pieces, revealing inside, apart from a skeleton, there was also a pale-faced white-haired man, who was none other than Wu Renyi, who had parted ways with Sun Baozi and the others not long ago.

  After seeing Wu Renyi, Sun Baozi's smile on his face instantly solidified. Just as Wu Renyi fell to the ground, he seemed to have been hit by a acupuncture point, and his whole body didn't move at all. Seeing Sun Baozi's expression, 'Xiao Heshang' laughed again and said: "It seems that the Wu Renyi we know is still the same person, but when I knew him, he was called Wu Mian. A future like a firefly, unexpectedly, in a moment of carelessness, he has become Wu Renyi now."

  At this moment, Sun Peng's mind suddenly lit up, and he finally understood what had been unclear to him before. Deputy Director Sun let out a long, bitter laugh and looked at "Xiao Heshang", saying: "Now I understand, it was you who played the trick during the handover ceremony, shattering the vase containing Liu Baozhen's ashes. I said so, how could it be possible for an outside thunderstorm to shatter such a valuable artifact in that setting? The thunder was yours, and the vase was also shattered by you."

  Here is the translation:

  At this point, Sun Ao paused for a moment. He glanced at Yang Xiao, whose face had turned pale, and continued: "Not that I'm saying it, but after what happened in prison, you should have been lurking around the Civil Affairs Bureau all along. When we went to the airport to pick up the plane later, you were also nearby. After learning about the handover of the ceramic jar, you had already thought out a plan. First, find an opportunity to smash the ceramic jar and let me and Director Yu watch as Liu Baozhen disappears before our eyes, then go back and report.

  Then it's just a matter of waiting for us to fall into the trap. As for why you chose Lao Xiao as your substitute, there must be another reason that you're too embarrassed to mention. In prison last time, Yang Jun turned the tables on you, so this time when choosing a substitute, you had to choose someone we all know, at least when it comes to taking action, our people won't be able to bring themselves to do it.

  At this point, Sun Baozi tilted his head and looked at 'Xiao Heshang' with narrowed eyes, saying: "To be honest, when you were looking for a substitute, was the first person me?"

  When Sun Baozi spoke, the smile on Xiao He Shang's face gradually solidified. After hearing Sun Baozi's question, Xiao He Shang's face had completely lost its previous smile. He looked at Sun Baozi and said: "It seems that not trying to mix in with you guys back then was indeed the right thing to do. Alright, you've basically got everything wrong so far. Continue speaking, what else have you figured out?"

  Sun Baozi smiled, showing his teeth, and continued to say to "Xiao Heshang": "Actually, it's useless for you to find me as a substitute. Let me tell you another truth: these people are more or less on guard against me. You might say something carelessly, and they can pick out the flaws."

  After clearing himself, Sun Baozi chuckled and continued: "Actually, there's nothing much left to do on your side. It's just that after Wu Renyi followed you, you set up another trap for him, either an array or a curse, and took advantage of his carelessness to knock him out. But earlier, you said you wanted to use us as pawns in a deal with Wu Renyi. Now that Wu Renyi is knocked out, you don't dare wake him up. I really don't know what your next move will be."

  After finishing, Sun Baozi's smile on his face became even thicker. And 'Xiao Heshang' looked at his eyes and almost froze into ice chips. He stared at Sun Baozi and said: "Why don't you believe that I can slaughter Wu Mian first, feel relieved in my heart, and then talk?"

  "It's not that you can't do it, but you won't be able to get away with it." Sun Baozi still looked at him with a smile and said: "The fact that you're putting so much thought into plotting this shows that what you want from Wu Renyi is more important than Wu Renyi himself. If you kill him, who's going to give you what you want?"

  Xiao He Shang looked at Sun Bao Zi with a cold expression and said: "How did you know I wanted something?"

  With just one sentence, Sun Wukong found the problem inside. He blinked his eyes at "Xiao Heshang" and said: "Huh? Not a thing... So what kind of person is that?"

  After finishing the sentence, 'Xiao He Shang' glanced at him and suddenly changed the subject, saying: "Since I can't slaughter Wu Mian, let's have some fun first. So you tell me, can I slaughter you, cut open your belly, and take a look at what your seven orifices and intestines look like?"

  "You can't even do this" Sun Wukong said with a smile, but his feet started to retreat several steps back, retreating behind Hugo.

  Xiao Heshang sneered and said to Sun Bi: "I couldn't kill Wu Mian, why can't you?"

  Sun Baozi smiled and said, "Because Wu Renyu didn't allow it. Although he probably doesn't like me much either, but since we often meet, it's not good to just watch me die in front of him."

  After finishing the sentence, 'Xiao He Shang' immediately turned his head to look at Wu Renyi lying on the ground. He was still motionless, without any signs of recovery.

  Xiao He Shang turned his face sternly and looked at Sun Wukong, sneered and said: "You dare to deceive me..."
