Chapter 870 - Lies (1/2)

Fang Ning waited for a while, then he saw the three of them bowing down before the statues and paying their respects.

After that, clouds of white smoke appeared and diffused all over the place.

He was already a lake-level powerhouse, so he could faintly feel that the white smoke was not devilish. There was a sense of grandeur to it.

“Sir System, isn’t this odd? They don’t seem like they’re up to something bad.”

“Didn’t I ask you to analyze? Why are you asking me?” the System was displeased.

“I can’t analyze due to the lack of information…,” Fang Ning paused in the middle of his sentence, “I can finally remember that this type of white gas is actually a form of clan energy, something like burning incense. They are directing the clan energy of Greater Rat Clan into Land of Culinary. I’m pretty sure they’re up to something.”

“Up to what?” Sir System asked.

“Ask the black pot,” Fang Ning replied.

” You’re tossing the pot for real this time 1 …,” Sir System muttered, then it called out to Black Pot who was working in the Alchemy Lab. The black pot quivered for a while, then came to a halt after realizing what was happening outside.

“Nothing much. These people think too highly of themselves. They’re trying to spread out their clan energy in my realm to check if there’s any treasure. However, I’ve told both of you the location and the method to get the treasure. They’re already one step too late,” Black Pot answered honestly.

Fang Ning did not have any doubts after listening to that. From his perspective, that was probably it.

The same thing applied to the System, the only lies it could detect were mostly from Fang Ning.

Firstly, both of them spent too much time together. Secondly, it could always peek into Fang Ning’s head if it wanted to…

These two conditions did not hold for Black Pot.

“Well, then, it seemed like they can’t do anything bad. Just let them be,” Fang Ning concluded.

Sir System was still hesitant, “My instincts told me that it’s not that simple.”

“Then you can pinch your fingers and calculate 2 ,” Fang Ning wanted to see if Sir System could outdo him.

“That’s impossible…I’m a fool, I really am,” the System suddenly sighed.

“I understand now,” Fang Ning sighed as well, “There’s someone else that we could go to, and he can’t lie to us.”

Headquarter Base of Truth Department.

Xie Dong sat in the simple reception room, next to the Venerable Dragon God. Elder Ancestor Bai sat opposite them across the table. For some reason, it was wearing a hat that completely covered its head. Xie Dong felt strange about it, was it bald? It certainly was not easy to be a leader.

“What’s the matter with the statues in Land of Culinary? Please don’t tell me that you don’t know anything about it,” Vigilante A said flatly.

Xie Dong adjusted his sitting posture. He looked at Vigilante A with his eyes wide open to show his presence.

He knew that he was a thorn in the flesh to everyone, but he had a Guardian Angel. He had learned to take the bad with the good.

His psychic powers were growing stronger as they progressed, now he could even identify whether a god was lying. He was amazed but frightened by his powers at the same time.
