Before Zhang Zhenlin could speak, An Yi took the book he had prepared in advance and said with a heavy face: "Father asked me to tell you, Your Excellency, that you are not sincere enough."
Zhang Zhenlin was originally worried that he had been cheated, but after hearing these words, he immediately relaxed.
Anyi knows that people who are easily deceived do not depend on who they are, but on the environment they are in.
If a person is anxious and helpless, or if his life experiences drastic changes, he is more likely to be impulsive, emotional, and relatively easy to be deceived.
In other words, in a carefully crafted trap, everyone can become prey, even those who are well-versed in deception.
"Sir, my father said that the book he gave you yesterday was the first volume, and he forgot to give you the second volume."
When An Yi said this, he opened the book and put it in front of Zhang Zhenlin: "Father said that as long as adults take a look at the content of the second volume, they will understand the lack of sincerity."
Zhang Zhenlin took the book angrily. He didn't think any book in the world was worth a thousand taels of silver.
He was so angry that he opened it on the spot and saw that the ink was fresh and the handwriting was irregular. It looked nothing like an ancient book that had been passed down from his family for a long time!
Just when he was about to get angry, he looked surprised and found that it was indeed a good book. Every chapter and every paragraph in the book was what he needed urgently.
After seeing Zhang Zhenlin take the bait, Anyi closed the book in time and put it in his arms.
"Father said that if you feel it is useless, the money you spent before will be returned to you in full."
"What do you mean, retreat!" Zhang Zhenlin breathed a sigh of relief and laughed heartily: "I'm just saying, no wonder the general is reluctant to give it, it is indeed a good book!"
He took out another two thousand taels of silver notes from the space stone and handed it to An Yi: "Take it, don't take it too much! Tell General An for me, it is indeed an heirloom book of the An family, it is so worth it!"
An Yi took the money generously and sighed inwardly: How can this person be so easy to deceive? The money was so easy to get before she even used the rhetoric she had prepared!
If a liar ever encounters someone like Zhang Zhenlin, he will definitely be deceived into losing his hair.
"Please, sir, please put the book away. Never show it to a second person." An Yi handed the book to Zhang Zhenlin and pretended to be serious and warned.
Of course, this book has still been tampered with. Although the black and white text is clear now, when Zhang Zhenlin gets home and wants to look through it carefully, he will find that it is still a blank page.
An Yi didn't plan to stay any longer and left directly: "I still have something to do, so I won't disturb you. If you have any questions, you can ask someone to see me at any time."
Zhang Zhenlin put the book away carefully and said happily: "Okay, thank General An for me. If I have the opportunity, I will say a few kind words for him in front of His Majesty."
Xiao Ze listened quietly to what the two said. When he saw Zhang Zhenlin taking out the money, he glanced at An Yi and a smile appeared on his lips.
The woman's clear voice was as sweet as a bell, and the raindrops on her hair slid down her delicate cheeks to her fair, cold and proud neck. When she lowered her head to receive the money into the space stone, she bit the corner of her lip hesitantly, and her clear eyes flashed. A hint of guilt.
He did not expose the scam and waited patiently for the two to complete the transaction.
It rained harder outside the window, and there were fewer pedestrians on the street. Only a few people hurried past holding paper umbrellas. The red lanterns hanging under the eaves on both sides of the street had not yet been taken off, swaying in the cold wind.
Anyi didn't stay long, walked downstairs, picked up the green oil-paper umbrella placed at the door and opened it.
Realizing that someone was following her, she turned around and saw Xiao Ze running towards her in the rain.
"Don't you have an umbrella?" Anyi asked with a frown.
"I like getting wet in the rain." Xiao Ze replied with a smile.
"You're really weird. Only those monsters like Thunder Tiger like to get wet in the rain."
Xiao Ze looked at An Yi, his thin lips were slightly raised, forming a perfect arc. His steps were steady and powerful, walking leisurely with An Yi.
"Why are you following me?"
"I was wondering why Miss An pretended not to know me?"
Anyi stopped, shocked in her heart. Was her expression too obvious?
She shouldn't. Apart from being a little surprised when she first saw the young man, she didn't even look at him.
"Is this why you came here?" An Yi asked with a guarded look.
Xiao Ze looked seriously, nodded and shook his head. The rainwater hit his dark robe, making a "tick" sound.
"I want to ask you to do me a small favor." Xiao Ze said lightly.
"I don't have time, please find someone else."
"But you have time to lie."
An Yi clenched the handle of the umbrella and asked angrily and nervously: "What do you mean?"
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you lying to others. If you help me, I will reward you."
An Yi looked at Xiao Ze for a long time, and after assessing the strength gap between the two sides, she held her breath and said, "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Ze did not reply. His eyebrows were like swords, and a drop of rain fell from his thick and long eyelashes.
Only then did An Yi notice that although the other party was soaked in the rain, he was not drowned. The rain slid down his clothes, and his long dark hair was only slightly wet.
After a while, he said: "Silverback, you have raised the silverback very well, so I invite you to team up with me to complete a task."
"Is there nothing wrong with your eyes, sir?" An Yi took a step back and said, "I'm not even a brave beast master, so I won't hold you back."
"There's no rush, the team formation will start after a month." Xiao Ze looked at An Yi carefully and thought deeply: "With Miss An's current ability, it is easy to get the Martial Arts and Beast Taming Master badge."
An Yi didn't like being forced to make decisions, so he asked tentatively: "What is the mission?"
"Don't worry, girl, it's not life-threatening, it's just a matter of numbers."
"What if I say no?"
"Girls cherish life and money and will not refuse."
"What about the reward? How sincere are you?"
"What does the girl want?"
"A holy monster!"
Hearing this, a warm and sunny smile bloomed at the corner of Xiao Ze's mouth. He laughed out loud and said, "Miss An can definitely open her mouth wider."
Anyi felt sullen in her heart. She felt that Xiao Ze was laughing at her for being poor.
Not only was he mocking her for having no money, he was also mocking her for having a poor imagination!
Xiao Ze didn't expect that his words would make the woman in front of him angry. His original intention was to close the distance between them, but he didn't know what to do for a while.
"What else does the girl want?" Xiao Ze asked softly.
"If what you say is true, that's enough."
An Yi thought for a while, sighed inwardly, and said solemnly: "People can only have what they think they deserve. Since there is no life-threatening and it is just a small number of people, this reward is quite good for me!"
The rain gradually subsided, and Anyi turned around to go home.
Before I had taken two steps, Yuan Bao from the Beast Controlling Space sent a message: "Master, one kilometer ahead, Lu Shaxiong is coming here on a wolf and leopard beast!"
"In addition, Master, Yuan Bao also sensed the breathing of An Min and Lu Wei in the sack."
At the same time, Xiao Ze also listened attentively.
A man in front of him was riding a holy beast, a wolf and leopard beast. The beast's claws were running rapidly, and it was light and quiet when it landed.
If he didn't have a sack to carry people, he wouldn't even make a sound of rubbing his clothes.
Xiao Ze calmly took out the long sword from the space stone.
He knew who this man was.
Although his mother warned him not to fight this person alone, he never considered so much when seeking revenge!
