Chapter 410: Lies Work Better Than Truths

"Brother Han."

Yang Fan suddenly spoke.

"It seems we've only met once, right?"

As he spoke, his Mental Energy quietly spread out.

Instantly forming an invisible barrier around the two of them, isolating the external sounds.

Han Jue was slightly stunned.

Then, feeling the changes around him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Yang truly lives up to being a deity who cultivates three routes simultaneously."

"Your Mental Energy methods are indeed extraordinary."

But soon, Han Jue recovered his smile.

"Rest assured, Brother Yang, I mean no harm."

"The reason I did this is simply to make friends with you."

"And…"

Han Jue said earnestly:

"Who stipulates that after meeting only once, we can't become good friends?"

"The very first time I saw Brother Yang in the Alien Divine Kingdom Zone, I felt that we would definitely become friends in the future."

"Even very important friends."

Speaking of this, Han Jue put his arm around Yang Fan's shoulder again, his gaze incomparably sincere.

Watching this scene, Yang Fan couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart.

He could finally tell that the Han Jue in front of him was truly a social butterfly.

And… his skin was truly thick.

He was the type who felt zero psychological pressure when lying.

Yang Fan calmly withdrew the Mental Energy barrier, and the surrounding sounds returned to normal once again.

No matter why Han Jue was so proactive.

There was one thing Yang Fan could be certain of: the other party indeed meant no harm.

Based on this point alone, it was already enough.

"Brother Yang."

Han Jue suddenly said mysteriously:

"After the banquet ends, see you in the Virtual World."

"Remember to bring Lu Wan; I have a way to make a fortune."

Yang Fan gave him a suspicious look, but still nodded.

Yang Fan didn't have much interest in the fortune-making opportunity Han Jue mentioned.

After all, what he lacked the least nowadays was Divinity Points.

However, he still needed to obtain the Secret Realm coordinates through Han Jue, so talking in detail within the Virtual World was quite appropriate.

This banquet lasted until the second half of the night.

As time passed, the crowd gradually dispersed.

And this night, for Yang Fan, the harvest was quite abundant.

Not only did Lu Wan continuously help him introduce young deities from the Five Great Families and various factions.

As the host of the banquet, Han Jue accompanied him the entire time, addressing him as a sworn brother and actively introducing one Human Race Prodigy after another to him.

Throughout the entire banquet, Yang Fan's reputation within the inner circle of the Five Great Families finally made a real splash.

Even when the banquet ended, many new names had appeared on his Feixun friend list.

Among them were many direct members of the Five Great Families, as well as some top deities among the younger generation.

At this moment, inside Han Jue's manor, besides him and Qin Zheng, there was no one else.

Qin Zheng sat on the sofa, looking at Han Jue in front of him, his eyes filled with suspicion.

"I say, when did you get such a good brother?"

"Why do I feel like you made such a big fuss today just to acknowledge this brother?"

Speaking of this, Qin Zheng's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help saying:

"Han Jue, you brat, could you be threatened by someone?"

"If someone is really forcing you, just blink."

"Rest assured, no matter what you did, I will help you ask my aunt to intercede."

Hearing this, the corners of Han Jue's mouth twitched fiercely.

"Scram!"

"Who the fuck can threaten me?"

Qin Zheng did not laugh, but instead frowned even deeper.

Because he understood Han Jue too well.

The two grew up together since childhood.

It could be said that he knew Han Jue's personality better than anyone else.

Usually, although this guy had a bold personality and liked making friends,

Today's performance was simply too abnormal.

Throughout the entire banquet, so many direct geniuses of the Five Great Families had clearly come.

Yet Han Jue spent most of his time revolving around Yang Fan.

Actively introducing, actively toasting, actively trying to build connections.

There was even a faint feeling of intentionally trying to befriend him.

No matter how one looked at it, this didn't look like Han Jue's usual style.

Everywhere exuded a sense of weirdness.

"Then what on earth is your situation?"

Qin Zheng couldn't help asking.

"Yang Fan's identity nowadays is indeed not low."

"He has the Lu Family and Gu Family as backing, and has a good relationship with Sima Tianci."

"But there's no need to go to this extent, right?"

"With the way you acted today, anyone not knowing would think you were his follower."

"Is there any need to lower your own status like that?"

Han Jue was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"There are some things I cannot tell you."

"After all, as you know, our Han Family military merit System has strict confidentiality agreements."

"I can only tell you one thing."

"Befriending Yang Fan will definitely have no downsides."

Qin Zheng's expression changed slightly.

And Han Jue continued:

"You must understand."

"Yang Fan is not just an ordinary son-in-Law of the Five Great Families."

"His talent is Hundredfold Time Sequence."

"Among SS-grade Divine Kingdom talents, those involving the Law of time are extremely precious to begin with."

Speaking of this, Han Jue paused and did not continue explaining.

But Qin Zheng understood instantly.

The two were childhood friends, and he understood Han Jue too well.

The more Han Jue was unwilling to speak, the more it represented that this matter involved top secrets.

And what was the Han Family's military merit System?

It was nothing more than granting military merit rewards through reviewing information such as the Divine Kingdom Core of the Alien Divine Kingdom and special buildings.

To be able to make Han Jue value him so much, and even willingly lower his posture to befriend him using today's method,

Then the answer was already very obvious.

Qin Zheng took a deep breath, "He should have just graduated, right?"

"Mhm."

"How long?"

"Less than a year."

"…"

Qin Zheng fell silent, and then couldn't help cursing a sentence.

"Fuck."

"He's truly a monster."

On the other side, Yang Fan and Lu Wan took an airship and quickly returned to the villa.

As soon as they entered the living room, Lu Wan sat directly on the sofa.

Crossing her arms, she had the appearance of interrogating a prisoner.

"Confess."

Yang Fan was stunned for a moment.

"Ah?"

"Confess what?"

Lu Wan glanced at him.

"When we were leaving, didn't you still pretend not to know Han Jue?"

"Now you're still going to tell me that the two of you aren't close?"

"This…"

Yang Fan was suddenly a bit embarrassed.

Because in this matter, what he said was indeed the truth.

He and Han Jue had really only met once.

But the problem was their performance at tonight's banquet.

No matter who looked at it, they would think the two were friends of many years.

Even to an abnormal degree of intimacy.

The Face Han Jue gave him was simply too exaggerated.

So now Yang Fan felt that even if he told the truth, Lu Wan probably wouldn't believe it.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan simply went with the flow and said:

"Well… we indeed count as good friends."

"I just wanted to give you a surprise, Wan'er."

"Letting you know that your husband also has connections."

"Maybe I can help you in the future."

As his voice fell, Yang Fan sighed silently in his heart.

Since the other party would definitely not believe the truth, it was better to make up a lie along the way.

Anyway, coaxing a wife!

Women are emotional creatures, and sometimes, lies work much better than truths.
