Chapter 113 Emotions Cannot Withstand Lies

Shortly after Kujavina left, Peruvieri passed by the corridor and saw her standing there.

Clementine, her eyes glazed over, stood frozen in place like a frightened bird. Seeing his current state, Peruvier was also somewhat puzzled.

"Clevis, Clevis?" After calling her name a few times as he approached, Clevis's eyes slowly returned to their senses.

But when Claire thought of the mind-blowing things Kudjavina had said, Claire was stunned and speechless for a moment.

It was as if the entire world had just collapsed before her eyes, plunging her into a deep state of confusion. "Clevis, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

It wasn't until Peruvieri's voice came again that Clementine gradually came to her senses.

She blinked, trying to clear her thoughts and organize her chaotic emotions. She took a few deep breaths...

After calming her mind, which had been churning like a storm, Clementine's heart finally returned to peace.

Finally, forcing a strong smile, she said, "It's nothing, Peipei. I was just thinking about something, but I think I forgot, hehe."

Seeing Clévi's behavior, Peruvieri felt that he was hiding something from her, but before she could think about it further...

Claire then asked, "By the way, Pepe, I don't think I've seen Lei Yi since the lady left."

"It's getting dark now, where did he go?" Peruvieri asked when she heard Clévy asking her about Rae.

His thoughts were instantly disrupted, and then he remembered what Le Yi had said last night.

“Peruveli, if Clévius asks you where I have been tomorrow, tell her that I had to see the Water God on short notice.”

Peruvelle nodded slightly upon hearing this. However, after a moment's thought, Akikawa added, "Just tell her this when I'm not here this morning."

But if Clementine asks me again in the afternoon where I've been, and that this has nothing to do with dealing with Kugavina,

"Then you shall tell her everything about my whereabouts, without hiding anything." Peruvier looked puzzled upon hearing this.

"Since you chose to keep it a secret from the beginning, why not just keep it a secret? Why wait until the afternoon to tell the truth?"

After hearing this, Qiuhe simply smiled calmly and said, "Peipei, lies are like music; they can turn pain into pleasure..."

But it can also harm your health. Lies are like that; in dire circumstances, a white lie might solve most problems.

However, the truth will eventually come out. No matter how perfect a lie may seem, if it is kept under wraps for too long, it will eventually be exposed.

When the lie is exposed, we will face the endless backlash it brings. Family, friendship, love...

What we cannot withstand most is lies and deception. We can hide our actions from Clementine for now, but what will we do when the day comes for the actual operation?

I went to see the water god without telling her because I was prepared for any unforeseen circumstances that might occur when Kujavina tells you her story.

But if she asks again, you must cut your losses in time, understand, Pepe?

Peruvieri then said, "What if Clementine wants to participate in this adventure? You yourself said it would be very dangerous."

Le Yi then continued, "Peipei, whether it's family, friendship, or love, if it doesn't go through countless hardships and trials, but instead only enjoys the good life..."

In the end, these feelings will only be like a candle flickering in the wind, easily shattered.

Adventure is inherently dangerous, and I don't want any of you to take that risk, but we're not taking risks for the sake of adventure.

We risked our lives for each other, we worked hard for each other, Claire, though I'm not as strong as you, Pepe.

But she was never a delicate flower in a greenhouse. In our presence, Clementine was very fragile, only appearing vulnerable in our presence.

In reality, she has always been very strong inside and will never easily give up because of setbacks.

So do you understand now, Pepe?" Peruvieri nodded slightly in response.

Thinking of this, Peruvieri spoke up, "Lei went to investigate intelligence." Claire was a little confused upon hearing this, not understanding what she meant.

Seeing this, Peruvieri no longer concealed anything and told Claire everything about Lei's actions.

Upon hearing this news, Clementine was utterly shocked. "What? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

After hearing this, Peruvieri simply said, "This matter is too dangerous, with constant variables. It's different from the adventures we've faced before."

We can't get involved; we're afraid that if we tell Clementine about it, she'll worry."

Claire, upon hearing this, said, "But, but now I'm even more worried. What if Ley can't find that person named Ranach there?"

"He's not really going to carry out Plan B, is he?" Seeing Claire's anxious eyes welling up with tears.

Peruvelle gently hugged Claire and softly comforted her, "I made Leigh swear that he won't carry out Plan B."

If Clementine continues to worry, then Lei will definitely be very sad when he comes back, so Clementine, don't worry, Lei will be alright."

Although I say that, it would be a lie to say I'm not worried at all.

After all, Leyi went to gather intelligence in the afternoon, but it's already evening and she still hasn't returned.

Although Peluvelli trusted Ley, she couldn't help but think of his words, "In times of crisis, a white lie can often solve most problems."

Peruvéri naturally felt some worry about this, and at the same time,

Le Yi stood in the forest above the New Fontaine Academy of Sciences, his makeup the same as it had been at the bottom of the Grey River that day.

At this moment, he seemed to have become one with his surroundings, sitting quietly in this secluded mountain forest, as if waiting for something.

The forest at night was shrouded in an atmosphere of pitch blackness, with only the gentle rustling of the treetops in the night breeze creating an eerie tranquility.

Leyi sat there like a statue, completely still. Time passed slowly, and the silence was somewhat oppressive.

However, at that moment, a cold light flashed, and a kunai shot out from the depths of the forest, heading straight for Leyi.

This sudden attack shattered the tranquility of the night, and just as the kunai was about to strike Lei Yi,

He instantly turned around, raised his hand, and unleashed a powerful burst of fire elemental energy.

In an instant, the kunai was also burned into molten iron by this powerful fire elemental force.

Leyi stood quietly at the edge of the forest, calmly surveying her surroundings, before slowly speaking:

"Since you're already here, why not show your face?" Le Yi's voice seemed to blend into the quiet night, but she received no response.

He waited quietly, but the only response he received was the rustling of leaves in the wind and the occasional birdsong from afar in the quiet night.

Time passed second by second, and Le Yi's expression remained calm, but his vigilance grew stronger.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from the air, and Le Yi keenly sensed that danger was approaching.

He quickly dodged to the side, and saw several kunai shoot out of the darkness, embedding themselves deeply into the tree trunk behind him.

Just as one of Leyi's feet touched the ground, a cloud of smoke exploded above his head. When the smoke cleared,

Above Le Yi's head appeared the fox-masked man, his arms crossed, holding two short knives in reverse, like a venomous scorpion descending from the sky.

Then the fox-faced man suddenly swung his hands, aiming straight for the sides of Le Yi's head. Le Yi reacted swiftly once again.

He instantly ducked, narrowly dodging the fatal attack. His hand gripped the Dragon's Roar sheath at his waist, and then he swiftly turned...

Like a swift gust of wind, the blade slashed towards the fox-masked man in mid-air. As the blade passed, it was accompanied by a surge of lightning elemental power, like a bolt of lightning tearing through the night sky.

It drew a semicircle in the air. However, the attack missed the fox-masked man, who vanished into the night like a ghost.

"Tsk, I thought it was incredible enough that you possessed the power of a demon god, but I never expected..."

"The fact that you can simultaneously wield fire and lightning elements makes me even more curious about your identity."

Listening to the fox-masked man's voice in the darkness, it seemed to come from all directions. His clear and cheerful voice was like a nightingale singing in a valley, or like pearls falling onto a jade plate.

Le Yi's face was ashen at this moment. He was certain that it was a man's voice, without any trace of a woman's disguise.
