Who is Persuading Whom?

Lin Shuang just tried to imitate Acheron's aura and shocked these kids.

Two children even wet their pants on the spot, completely losing face.

She has no intention of caring about these kids attacking and betraying each other.

Human nature is evil, and once children begin to show naked malice when they do not have a complete sense of morality, they will show naked malice.

Even more terrifying than many adults.

Because children's malice has nothing to do with interests, but only with whether they can please themselves.

Besides, these guys are not good kids, and they have done a lot of bad things in their daily lives.

Once the flame is lit, Lin Shuang doesn't need to worry about anything else.

The flames and darkness that existed only in the eyes of these children were naturally just illusions created by Lin Shuang; otherwise, such a large flame would definitely attract the Cloud Knights.

Of course, Lin Shuang felt that these kids might complain after they returned.

However, if the Cloud Knights really come to cause trouble, Lin Shuang doesn't mind using her power to suppress them.

Lin Shuang looked to the side and saw that Dan Shu, who was unable to see the illusion, had already taken the girl's hand and carefully jumped down the stairs.

"Thank you, big sister."

The girl couldn't see, but she knew that it was Lin Shuang who helped her, so she bowed to Lin Shuang very seriously.

Lin Shuang smiled and raised her hand to touch the little girl's hair.

Very cute.

Compared to this side,

The bullies on the side have completely disbanded.

The leading kid was the first one to be pushed out, and he was humiliated and in turn was harshly criticized by everyone else.

Once this mutual accusation starts, there will be no turning back.

In the end, everyone was blamed one after another, and those with poor psychological endurance started to cry loudly.

Under the environment deliberately created by Lin Shuang, these children will probably have a very deep psychological trauma from today.

However, what is even more cruel is that Lin Shuang deliberately blocked the transmission of sound waves and offset the sound waves by causing air vibrations.

Then, by controlling the light, visual interference is created so that passers-by don't even notice the abnormality here.

These kids didn't break up completely until they chose two victims, and then they were doomed to fail.

I didn't care about these little brats anymore.

Lin Shuang watched silently as Dan Shu warned the girl with rather stern words and then considerately placed the medicine in her hand.

After the two of them sent the little girl home, Dan Shu suddenly said:

"Little friend Lin made a move just now, right? Although I didn't see it, I could sense some inconsistency. If the passing Cloud Knights didn't rely so much on their eyes, they would surely have noticed something wrong just like me and that kid."

Lin Shuang did not respond but just chuckled as she watched the kids running away in panic, thinking they had seized the opportunity.

"Even in a place as prosperous as Xianzhou, it can't avoid this kind of thing."

"Yes... People like us who are born with deficiencies are bound to suffer humiliation when we are young. Even if we have gone through hardships and have ascended to high positions, we are still helpless in many things."

Dan Shu let out a long sigh.

Lin Shuang could sense that Dan Shu was sincerely lamenting her own powerlessness at this moment.

"The war era is different from the peace era. The Xianzhou cannot remain unchanged. If Miss Dan Shu is interested, she should go to someplace like the Realm-Keeping Commission and ask for a new Commission specifically for this instead of staying in the Alchemy Commission."

For the Xianzhou Luofu, stopping here to rest and recuperate is only a recent thing.

The style of behavior in times of war is naturally different from that in times of peace, but for the long-life species, the scale of time is always different.

The systems, laws, and even moral standards are different.

However, the stop was only temporary, and the threat was never far away.

She believes that the Arbiter-General of Luofu has probably never thought about such a thing. After all, the Alchemy Commission has never split and reorganized its functions until now.

Lin Shuang felt her scalp tingling just thinking about it.

"Really?"

Dan Shu was stunned by Lin Shuang's words, which disrupted her rhythm.

She originally wanted to use the story of Xiaoyu as an introduction to Abundance as an excuse to persuade her first, but who knew that Lin Shuang would actually bring up such a topic?

And the most important thing is that Dan Shu joined the Alchemy Division in order to cure Tianque, but she had never thought about the possibility of joining the Realm-Keeping Commission.

Lin Shuang was expecting Dan Shu's surprised expression.

Thinking of this, Lin Shuang suddenly flipped her hand, and exquisite cards fell into her hand. Lin Shuang simply shuffled the order, then spread them out and handed them to Dan Shu.

"Ms. Dan Shu, I once got a card that allows you to peek into fate. Are you interested in taking one and taking a look?"

"Haha~ When did little friend Lin start to act like the people from the Divination Commission and start talking nonsense? Well then, let me draw a card."

Dan Shu covered her mouth and smiled softly, as if simply to cooperate with Lin Shuang. She reached out and casually clicked on a card and picked it up.

Turning over the cards, The Pope card was facing her; that is to say—

The Pope in reverse.

The meaning of The Pope represents faith, belief, spiritual mentorship, support, and help.

Dan Shu gently stroked the card. Every pattern on the gold-plated card had slight bumps and depressions. Her fingers stroked the card and finally stopped on the word "Pope."

"'Pope' is right, Ms. Lin. Are you willing to interpret the cards for me?"

Lin Shuang blinked. The reversed Pope meant sending wrong information, communication barriers, blind comfort, ineffective help, and it also meant that wishes could not be fulfilled; people would be used and abandoned.

It probably represents the present and also foreshadows Dan Shu's future and ending.

Lin Shuang was not good at interpreting cards, but if she combined Dan Shu's plot and information in the game, she could match many of them.

After a miserable childhood, she was redeemed after entering the Alchemy Commission, but the redemption also disappeared, making Dan Shu completely hate the Aeon Lan who was supposed to help Xianzhou.

Wrong information, communication barriers, etc.

And the future will be opened up, plans will be shattered, and the ending will be thrown aside by illusion.

"…The cards are not very good. Maybe you have had some communication barriers, and you have received or are about to receive some wrong information or conclusions. This will make it possible for you to be taken advantage of or even abandoned."

Lin Shuang selected a few images and spoke them word by word, and Dan Shu's expression gradually became colder.

"…"

She didn't know whether Lin Shuang's actions today were unintentional or deliberate, whether these words were really predicted or were a warning to herself.

Could it be that she has already figured out who the person who is cooperating with the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus is?

Dan Shu suddenly realized that the situation, which she was supposed to lead and persuade Lin Shuang, began to become less clear.

Did Lin Shuang see that she was warning herself?

After a long silence, Dan Shu suddenly said:

"Friend Lin, can you tell me in detail?"

However, Lin Shuang just shook her head slightly and said:

"I am only using the cards to peek into the hazy corner of fate. Too much interpretation will have a counterproductive effect. Miss Dan Shu may need rational scrutiny and guidance."

"...Then I'll take advantage of Miss Lin's good words."

Dan Shu was silent. Who was persuading whom?
