I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Chapter 1298 - Is That An Lin?



Chapter 1298: Is That An Lin?

Two figures were conversing with one another as they slowly approached him.

There was only one path here, so they had to pass by the coffin.

An Lin could finally see who they were now. They were two powerful beings from the Stone Tribe!

“Ah! Master, I remember who that is now, isn’t that An Lin in the coffin? I’m sure of it, that’s An Lin in there!” the younger Stone Tribe powerful being exclaimed.

An Lin was quite elated. At least one of them wasn’t blind.

The older Stone Tribe powerful being immediately slapped the younger one in the back of the head. “It’s not real! This is an illusionary realm, a trap! Everything was set up by the cherry blossom formation to lure you in!”

The younger Stone Tribe powerful being instantly came to a realization. “Master is right!”

Right my a*s! What a load of bullsh*t!?An Lin was unable to stand this conversation.

At this moment, the elder Stone Tribe cultivator was already stroking its mossy beard with a smug expression. “My disciple, you’re still too young and have many things to learn from me.”

“Yes, Master!” The younger Stone Tribe cultivator nodded.

An Lin didn’t want to say anything. It would be best if they could just leave like this. He couldn’t retaliate if a battle ensued, after all.

If they took the heavenly peach tree from his storage ring, it would be a massive loss to him!

All of the Stone Tribe members liked to think. They lived like philosophers and would often overthink things.

In reality, these overthinking Stone Tribe cultivators were a good thing to An Lin.

In fact, it was fantastic!

Hurry up and f*ck off!

“Wait, Master, something’s not right. You know that I’ve always been very sensitive to life force energy from birth. I can feel that there really is a life form within the coffin, and its life force fluctuations are exactly the same as An Lin’s!” the younger Stone Tribe cultivator said with an excited expression.

The elder Stone Tribe cultivator’s footsteps faltered.

An Lin’s heart jolted, and a thought suddenly occurred to him as he turned toward the two Stone Tribe living beings with a peculiar smile on his face. “Come on over… fellow cultivators… Hurry…”

He made his voice intentionally extremely enticing. “I am Sect Leader An Lin of the Four Nine Immortal Sect. If you can take the lid off this coffin, I’ll give you an entire heavenly peach tree…”

A mysterious smile appeared on An Lin’s face as he spoke.

The two Stone Tribe living beings were given a fright, and they immediately rushed back in retreat.

“M… Master! He just said he’s An Lin!”

The younger Stone Tribe living being yelled before quickly coming to his senses, “Wait, Master, if that really is An Lin in there, why would he try and convince us to open his coffin? He would want us to leave instead! As such, this must be a trap within the illusionary formation, right?!”

An Lin was ecstatic.

What a smart little stone!

The younger Stone Tribe living being sighed with emotion. “This cherry blossom forest really is terrifying. To think that it would transform into an immobilized An Lin with the identical life force energy… I almost fell for it…

“To think that the first trap is already this terrifying. No wonder none of the living beings here have secured any of the three heavenly peach trees even after such a long time.”

An Lin couldn’t help but snicker as he internally praised himself for his resourcefulness.

This was a perfect use of reverse psychology. After admitting to the fact that he was indeed An Lin, the Stone Tribe living beings were instead adamant that he was not An Lin!

“Wait!”

Just as An Lin was giving himself a figurative pat on the back, a wise, elderly voice suddenly sounded.

The old Stone Tribe living being pointed at the coffin with an excited expression. “Don’t be fooled, that really is An Lin in there!”

“Why is that so? You’ve just said that this is a trap.” The young Stone Tribe living being was perplexed.

“I was convinced that it was a trap before, but that is no longer the case!” The old Stone Tribe living being suddenly became more animated. “After you detected An Lin’s life force fluctuations, there was a very good chance that we would’ve opened the coffin to see just what was inside.

“Why would the man inside suddenly tell you to open the coffin at a time like that? It’s a completely redundant gesture! He must be using reverse psychology in order to convince you that this coffin is a trap. In other words, he’s doing all this so that you won’t open the coffin!” Wisdom flashed in the old Stone Tribe living being’s eyes, as if it had gleaned the truth.

The young Stone Tribe living being’s body shuddered as it was enlightened. “So An Lin’s words just then was the true trap! That really is An Lin in there… That makes sense. He’s severely weakened right now, so he would be praying for us to leave. I was almost fooled by him! Master is so wise!”

An Lin was dumbstruck.

What the hell was going on?!

Weren’t they supposed to be two stupid stones?

How had their IQs just risen through the roof?!

At this moment, the two Stone Tribe living beings were already making their way toward An Lin with sinister smiles on their faces.

“Hehehe, I heard that there is a heavenly peach tree in Sect Leader An Lin’s storage ring.”

“Master, let’s split it 50:50!”

“Hmm? What did you say? I’ll give you another chance to reformulate that sentence.”

“60:40 then!”

“Hehe, we can only do 20:80! I discovered the truth, after all.”

“Waah… Can we do 30:70 at least?”

“Alright, we’ll do 30:70 then.”

An Lin: “???”

All of a sudden, the younger Stone Tribe living being’s footsteps suddenly faltered. “Master, wait!”

“What is it?” the old Stone Tribe living being asked.

The young Stone Tribe living being replied, “How do you know that must be An Lin in the coffin?”

“The traps in this cherry blossom forest are extremely sinister and unpredictable. Perhaps it made the man inside the coffin say what he said just to lure you into a false sense of security and convince you that the man in there is in fact An Lin…

“We were initially approaching the trap with caution, but now, we’re approaching the trap with a sense of complacency…

“This is also a part of the trap!”

The young Stone Tribe living being’s words sent a shudder running through the old Stone Tribe living being’s body.

“You’re right,” the old Stone Tribe living being said with a thoughtful expression.

An Lin: “???”

The two Stone Tribe living beings decided to leave.

Before An Lin even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

“Wait!” The old Stone Tribe living being suddenly stopped again.

“What is it?” the young Stone Tribe living being asked.

“Do you think what you think must be correct? How do you know that An Lin isn’t trying to convince you into thinking this is a trap, before making me think that this isn’t a trap, then making you think that this is a trap again, and in the end, make us come to the decision to leave him alone?

“The sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect is the number one young prodigy on the entire continent! His wisdom and intelligence are unmatched! He has most likely already guessed what you and I are thinking. That’s right, he has most likely already envisioned that things would progress to this point! He IS An Lin!” The old Stone Tribe living being came to an exciting conclusion.

The young Stone Tribe living being was completely reverent now. “Master is so wise!”

An Lin drew a sharp intake of breath.

What the f*ck are they saying?!

The young Stone Tribe living being made its way toward the coffin again.

“Wait, Master, what if this is a highly-intelligent spell formation? It is trying to make me believe that this is An Lin while convincing you that it isn’t. It’s replicating An Lin’s life force energy to convince me that this is An Lin, then using the words he has spoken to convince me that this isn’t An Lin, then making you come to the conclusion that this is An Lin, then making me believe that this isn’t An Lin again, then finally making you believe that it is An Lin, thereby making us completely lower our guard as we think that we have finally gleaned the truth…

“This is actually all part of the trap!”

The young Stone Tribe living being’s eyes shone with wisdom after its astute analysis.

The old Stone Tribe living being pondered this for a moment before nodding. “You do have a point.”

The two Stone Tribe living beings were just about to leave again.

The old Stone Tribe living being suddenly stopped. “Wait, how do you know that An Lin hasn’t already envisioned this? Perhaps he’s trying to take advantage of you thinking it’s An Lin, then me thinking that it isn’t An Lin, then you thinking…”

The two Stone Tribe living beings began to analyze the situation in great depth again.

Within the Blood Soul Jade Coffin.

An Lin stared blankly up at the sky.

He was only thinking one thing in his heart.

Am I An Lin?!
