I'm really not the god of time.

Chapter 96 The Conman Returns

But when he entered the building...

They found it was pitch black inside; the kid had actually hidden himself.

Yu Li scoffed dismissively, thinking that this kid was still too green, actually thinking he could play hide-and-seek with a [high-level warlock].

He snapped his fingers lightly, and the light from the [Illumination] spell illuminated the ceiling.

The damaged room was suddenly as bright as day.

But what happened next horrified him.

Amidst the chaotic ruins, a perfectly intact office chair stands.

A graceful woman was sitting lazily in a chair.

Her black stockings gleamed with a lustrous sheen. One foot rested on the scattered documents, while the other lightly twirled in her high heel.

Yu Li's pupils suddenly contracted, and his knees involuntarily went weak.

He fell to his knees in the ruins with a thud, panting heavily in terror, and said:

"Vice President Lan! You... what brings you here?"

Lan Ruoxi snorted coldly, maintaining her arrogant demeanor:

"Yu Li, you have some nerve! You actually dared to collude with the [God Kingdom Organization]."

Yu Li was so frightened that his whole body trembled:

"Vice President Lan, I... I know I was wrong."

Although Yu Li is a [high-level warlock], and a veteran warlock at that.

But the more he got to this level, the clearer he became about the vast difference between himself and the "Great Witch".

The Great Witch or the Great Sorcerer is extremely close to being extraordinary.

They just lacked an opportunity.

Therefore, no matter how powerful Yu Li is in front of his subordinates.

But in front of Lan Ruoxi, he didn't even dare to raise his head.

Lan Ruoxi glanced at him sideways, continued swinging her long legs, and said:

"Yu Li, hand over all your cards, and I might spare your life."

Yu Li shakily opened his [Personal Space], preparing to throw all the cards on the ground.

But at that moment, he suddenly sensed something was amiss.

He glanced up furtively and suddenly realized something was wrong.

He suddenly shouted:

"You're not Lan Ruoxi at all!"

Zhang Lingyun was stunned for a moment.

His disguise was flawless, and he was very familiar with Lan Ruoxi, so how could he have been exposed?

However, the next second, Yu Li released a [Dispel Spell].

As the pale golden light swept across, Zhang Lingyun's disguise shattered into countless starlight.

Yu Li laughed triumphantly:

"You've got some nerve, kid, daring to try and outsmart a high-level warlock like this."

Zhang Lingyun remained calm and asked:

"How did you find out?"

Yu Li said with a smile:

"Lan Ruoxi, that arrogant and haughty 'Great Witch,' always treats her subordinates with a cold and aloof demeanor."

She would never pose like that for others to admire her figure.

Zhang Lingyun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood.

When he was with Lan Ruoxi, his master was often so unguarded and never minded showing his thighs to him.

He had long since come to regard this as the norm.

But he never expected that this would be a benefit exclusively for him.

The fact that he was exposed in such a place left Zhang Lingyun feeling both amused and exasperated.

Yu Li saw through the disguise technique, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes, and prepared to capture Zhang Lingyun.

He planned to use Zhang Lingyun as a hostage and escape from Dongxing City with him.

However, when the dust settled, he looked at Zhang Lingyun again.

His pupils widened even further, and he trembled uncontrollably with fear.

After the light and shadow completely shattered, a handsome man sat down in an office chair.

He gently touched the lightning bolt scar on his forehead.

—That is the mark of someone who once deceived God.

Yu Li is no small fry like Duan Ying.

He was not only knowledgeable, but also had a lot of inside information.

The moment he saw this man, he was reminded of the legendary man.

No one knows the man's real name, but everyone knows his legendary story.

To spread the word about his miracles, people adopted his entire profession as their name.

He is a con artist.

Yu Li said somewhat maniacally:

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! The conman is long dead!"

He raised his hand and cast a [Dispel Spell].

However, the fraudster remained firmly seated, completely unaffected.

This is because Zhang Lingyun obtained the identity of a fraudster through a contract.

Even after the [detection spell] checked, this identity still completely belongs to Zhang Lingyun.

Yu Li was somewhat incredulous, and then cast several more [Detection Spells].

But the result remained unchanged.

From his perspective, this only proves one thing—

The man in front of you is the legendary "con artist".

The con artist waved his hand gracefully and said:

"Don't waste your energy, I am the person you're thinking of."

Yu Li was shocked and said:

"Aren't you already dead?"

The conman smiled and replied:

"Even Death itself can be deceived."

Yu Li gasped, then cautiously surveyed his surroundings before asking:

"Where's that kid from before?"

"He belongs to our Clover Hermitage. I'm here to protect him."

Yu Li's eyes widened:

"You're also a member of the Four-Leaf Clover Hermitage?"

Zhang Lingyun nodded gracefully and admitted:

"good."

Yu Li was gripped by extreme panic.

He truly hadn't expected that the Clover Hermitage would have such a profound foundation.

Even this man who had deceived God was willing to serve this organization.

Yu Li panicked and instinctively reached for an attack card.

Zhang Lingyun's heart skipped a beat.

He couldn't withstand a single blow from a high-level warlock.

However, he maintained an absolutely calm expression.

He knew that if he showed weakness now, he would be truly doomed.

So, the con artist smiled slightly and said:

"I advise you to save your energy. Do you think you're a match for me?"

Yu Li was so startled that his fingers trembled wildly, and he almost dropped the card on the ground.

The man before me has had too many legendary experiences.

He even deceived the gods, so his strength must be unfathomable, at least on par with Lan Ruoxi.

I am indeed no match for him.

Yu Li asked somewhat flusteredly:

"What exactly do you want?"

Seeing that the opponent had stopped their magical attack, Zhang Lingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But he maintained his composure on the surface and said:

"I want to make a deal with you."

After this trip to Dongxing City, Zhang Lingyun felt more at ease.

His only goal now is to become stronger.

We must be strong enough to no longer fear these enemies, strong enough to protect everyone around us.

Therefore, Zhang Lingyun decided to seek fortune in danger.

Taking advantage of his desperation to escape, he made a deal with this [High-Rank Sorcerer].
