Chapter 177 Language Trap
Chapter 177 Language Trap
The golden rope was not an ordinary one, but a mysterious treasure. Not only did the men fail to untie it, they were also shocked by the rebounding force of the rope and retreated again and again.
Sun Nongqiao's face darkened, and he immediately wanted to return to the meeting room to seek Xie Sheng's help.
Jin Cancan was tied up and unable to move, but she did not show any panic on her face. Instead, she looked at Xueying calmly and said, "Master Xueying, I have mixed spiritual roots, so the colors I see in the photo are of course mixed. You concluded that I am a plunderer because of this. Is it because you are careless, or are you seeking revenge, or are you being instructed by someone else?"
Xueying's heart skipped a beat and she secretly gritted her teeth.
Tsk, I knew this guy was hard to fool, and sure enough I failed to trick him.
He took back the soul-binding rope and apologized without any apology: "It was just a joke, don't take it seriously."
Sun Nongqiao and others breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously stood in front of Jin Cancan. They didn't have a good impression of Xueying and always felt that he had inexplicable hostility towards Jin Cancan.
Xueying felt a little amused when she saw the attitudes of the disciples. She was no longer in a hurry to deal with the matter at hand and asked, "Only people in our border area know the purpose of the Lingxi Mirror. Today is the first time it has appeared in the world. How did you discover its secret?"
It seems like a simple chat, but in fact it contains extremely difficult to detect language traps.
Jin Cancan's expression was blocked by several disciples of Tian Ping Sword Sect, so she didn't bother to hide the mockery in her eyes: "Although I don't know what the Lingxi Mirror is used for, I know that I am not a plunderer."
“So I guess that the color and intensity of the soul reflected in the mirror will vary depending on the cultivator’s cultivation level, the attributes of the technique, and other factors.”
Xueying was silent for several minutes, barely calming the turmoil in her heart.
He is now more inclined to believe that Jin Cancan is really fine. If she is really a plunderer... with her intelligence, the world of cultivation is in danger.
The language trap set by Xueying was very insidious and hidden.
Xueying starts by saying that only people at the junction know the use of the Lingxi Mirror and that it is the first time it appears in the world. She gives Jin Cancan a strong psychological hint and guides Jin Cancan's thinking in the direction of how to find out the secret of the Lingxi Mirror, making him ignore the real purpose behind the problem.
However, this was just a cover. Xueying's real purpose was to use this question to induce Jin Cancan to unconsciously reveal his or her identity as a "predator" in his or her answer.
This method is extremely clever because the subconscious mind is indeed the most difficult to deceive.
A person's subconscious mind will inadvertently influence the way and emphasis of his or her answers.
If Jin Cancan is a predator, then she would definitely try her best to conceal her identity when answering questions, or avoid directly answering content related to the predator.
As long as Jin Cancan does not explicitly deny that she is a predator in her answer, no matter what her answer is, Xueying can peek into her subconscious based on Jin Cancan's answer and judge whether she is a predator.
Jin Cancan's answer was perfect. At least in this interrogation without the smoke of gunpowder, she was found not guilty.
Xueying and Jin Cancan couldn't see each other's expressions clearly. Between them stood four people from the Tianping Sword Sect who formed a human wall.
Obviously, their attitude was to protect Jin Cancan, but Xueying felt that Jin Cancan behind them did not need to rely on anyone's protection at all.
He really wanted to take a look at Jincan's expression, but was afraid that she was looking down on the ignorant. The scene seemed like an assassination. The target had already sensed the danger, and the assassin, who had lost his hidden weapon, was staying in the shadows like a mouse, not daring to fight.
The deep feeling of powerlessness once again engulfed Xueying. He turned his head in embarrassment and said through gritted teeth, "I have to get busy first. Excuse me."
Sun Nongqiao stared at Xueying vigilantly until he left completely, then immediately pushed Jin Cancan towards the seventh peak, saying in a serious tone: "Cancan, stay away from people at the junction in the future."
Jin Cancan was a little surprised. She didn't expect Sun Nongqiao to be so sensitive. She asked half-jokingly, "Why?"
Lin Yanqiu was almost dying of anxiety. He spoke before Sun Nongqiao could answer, "You are usually so smart, how can you not see this? That Xueying is obviously targeting you. You two should have only met once. When did you become enemies?"
Yan Qiyun was not surprised, and analyzed seriously: "With Jin Cancan's mouth, he can offend even a dog when he goes out of the mountain gate. It's not surprising that he makes enemies with anyone."
Jin Cancan: “…”
Jiang Chao also advised Jin Cancan: "Cancan, you should be more restrained in the future."
Jin Cancan looked at Jiang Chao pitifully: "Fourth Senior Brother - are you going to blame me too?"
This was the first time that Jin Cancan called Jiang Chao "fourth senior brother". Before Jin Cancan became an inner disciple, Jiang Chao was the fifth oldest. Before that, no one had ever called him senior brother.
Jiang Chao's ears immediately turned red, his soul was shocked, the power of the word "senior brother" should not be underestimated, he changed his words smoothly: "But then again, wait for me to study the way of alchemy and improve my alchemy skills, and prepare more life-saving pills for you, so that you will never have to worry about your life."
Sun Nongqiao looked at Jiang Chao, who had no bottom line, with disdain, and turned to hook Jin Cancan's neck: "Call me Senior Sister and let me hear it!"
Jin Cancan performed the bone disappearing technique, tilted his head, and buried it in Sun Nongqiao's fragrant neck, and called out sweetly: "Third - Senior - Sister -"
The corners of Sun Nongqiao's mouth almost flew to the sky. She was so happy after hearing the lingering words from her senior sister that she floated away and sent Jin Cancan back to the yard.
After several disciples left, Jin Cancan immediately stopped smiling.
The current situation is very serious. If the spirit bottle containing her spiritual power is successfully delivered to the border, the identity of the plunderer will most likely be discovered.
She now has several urgent things to do.
First, take off all the messy Tingxue Valley positioning spiritual tools on her body so that she can run away at any time.
Second, find out where Xie Sheng put these soul gathering bottles and look for opportunities to switch them. If the soul gathering bottles cannot be dealt with, then deal with the people who transport the soul gathering bottles.
Third, we must find a way to obtain more intelligence from the alliance stationed at the border, or at least know their mainstream methods of distinguishing between predators and monks.
Jin Cancan took some time to sort out her thoughts and organize and analyze various information. She calmly and quickly planned the next steps.
She has always been very active. Once she has a plan, she will implement it immediately. Then she will use her light skills to jump and move all the way, and quickly return to the meeting room with a tap of her toes.
Just as Jin Cancan guessed, the people at the border were discussing matters with the elders of the sect and announcing all the known information about the plunderers.
