Without a doubt, these three are precisely the ones who attempted to rob Xue An on the flying boat earlier.
The one with a demeanor of an expert is Boss Liu.
How did they end up here then?
This requires discussing the situation of the three of them.
Because they were terrified by the power Xue An demonstrated on the flying boat, they fled immediately when the boat docked.
However, these three have long been penniless.
In this dark land, without money and power, they could barely find a foothold.
So, after some discussion, they decided to revert to their old trade!
Of course, this does not mean they planned to resume robbing.
Given their strength, robbing in Wuwang Cliff would be pure suicide.
They planned to swindle and deceive.
Boss Liu possesses a particularly unique talent, known as bluffing.
This talent can mimic the aura of powerful individuals, allowing him to disguise as a reclusive master.
In other words, while others disguise as a pig to eat a tiger, he does the opposite—disguises as a tiger to eat a pig.
Having made up their minds, they feared swindling too close by would attract Xue An again.
So they decided to stay away from the flying boat docking area, venturing deep into Wuwang Cliff, eventually arriving at this place.
Yet the three overestimated their abilities; after several days, they achieved nothing.
Not only that, they ended up not being able to afford even a meal.
Thus, after a few days, the three, starving, finally couldn’t stand it anymore.
While cultivators can abstain from food with adequate spiritual energy, their long journey had left them exhausted, urgently needing spirit food.
Consequently, they resolutely decided to stop worrying about consequences.
Even if they ended up eating a ’king’s meal’ and got beaten for it, it would be better than starving to death!
With this thought, the three immediately took action, resulting in the arrogant scene upon entering the restaurant.
Boss Liu was exerting all his strength, just barely managing to maintain the aura without letting it disperse; any further delay would have exposed his true self.
However, the heavens seemed to smile upon them, as they encountered Xia Yi, who had just been expelled from his family.
The two sides were a perfect match.
Xia Yi was grateful to have found a reclusive master who could avenge his grievances.
Boss Liu was thrilled that the three had finally ensnared a wealthy fool, ensuring their food and drink for at least the short term.
In this delicate atmosphere, over the next few days, the parties engaged in friendly and pleasant interactions, reaching initial agreements on many matters, and their friendship quickly flourished.
After several days, in Xia Yi’s mind, Boss Liu was not only a reclusive master but also a sympathetic and understanding big brother, whose insights illuminated Xia Yi.
This increased Xia Yi’s respect for Boss Liu even more.
Yet he was unaware that for a skilled con artist, it’s basic to discern people’s psychology and say vague but misleading things to deceive them.
Moreover, Xia Yi, being a noble family’s child, though having decent cultivation, was mostly exposed to masters from various sects, unfamiliar with these street tricks, hence easily falling for Boss Liu’s schemes.
Boss Liu naturally found this pleasing, outwardly maintaining the facade of an expert, yet inwardly gloating.
