General Kunhui fell silent, thinking.

He Yu said quietly,

"What?"

"Can't prove it?"

His face was filled with unconcealed ridicule, as though he had already seen through him and was absolutely certain the man opposite him could never prove his own identity.

General Kunhui instinctively retorted,

"Who says I can't?"

He Yu gestured calmly.

"Then begin."

Everyone looked toward General Kunhui.

Including the King.

The King still trusted the humanoid General Kunhui more.

But for the sake of the Red Camp's victory...

He wanted certainty.

General Kunhui thought for a moment before turning to the King.

"Your Majesty, before the previous King passed away, he entrusted you to me."

"He said that only with both you and me could the Red Camp achieve victory."

"I promised him that..."

He Yu interrupted expressionlessly.

"Invalid proof."

General Kunhui frowned.

"Why doesn't that count?"

He Yu glanced at him before looking toward the King.

"Your Majesty."

"Do you think that proves anything?"

The King fell silent.

After a moment, he slowly shook his head.

It proved nothing.

The little white dumpling had already said exactly the same thing.

Both of them knew it.

And...

The little white dumpling had said it first.

Not only the King fell silent.

Even the guards' expressions became complicated.

Their gazes shifted between General Kunhui...

And the white dumpling.

The balance seemed to tilt even further.

"...Fine."

"I'll think of something else."

General Kunhui drew his saber.

"This is my weapon."

"The Blazing Cleaver Saber."

"More than ten thousand souls have died beneath it."

"Whether Green Camp or toys..."

"I kill every one I see."

The saber slashed toward He Yu.

Bo Jingshan and the others' expressions changed.

The blade stopped just above He Yu's head.

The wind from the strike stirred his fur.

General Kunhui sneered.

"My killing technique is a downward slash."

"One strike."

"And my opponent is split in two."

The King nodded slightly from the throne.

Clearly...

He recognized that description.

General Kunhui sheathed the blade again.

"My name is Kunhui."

"I'm one hundred ninety-eight years old."

"My original form was a Kui Insect."

"I enjoy drinking fresh blood."

"Every morning I have to—"

He had only reached the words "drink fresh blood..."

Before the King had already {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} completely believed him.

Then He Yu interrupted.

"Every morning I drink an entire pot of fresh blood..."

"Only then do I begin another day of slaughter."

After speaking, the little white dumpling looked at him mockingly.

His eyes were full of contempt.

"So..."

"You intend to prove your identity by reciting the official character profile?"

"You memorized it."

"Do you think no one else could memorize it?"

"Besides..."

"Your recitation was terrible."

"Dry."

"Lifeless."

General Kunhui froze.

His voice stopped abruptly.

The King was stunned.

Almost unconsciously, he began thinking along He Yu's logic.

That was true...

Those facts could simply be memorized.

And...

General Kunhui's delivery had indeed sounded...

A little stiff.

He Yu looked toward the King.

"Your Majesty."

"I asked him to prove who he is."

"And what did he do?"

"He recited a biography."

"It sounded fake."

"As expected."

"To imitate me so perfectly for an entire year..."

"The Green Camp must have invested tremendous effort gathering information."

General Kunhui roared,

"Bullshit!"

"You're the one from the Green Camp!"

"I'm Kunhui!"

He Yu answered calmly,

"Then prove it."

General Kunhui gritted his teeth.

"Everyone thinks I came from Tianyan City."

"But one hundred ninety years ago I actually fled from Mido City."

"The previous King recognized my talent."

"He took me in."

"And arranged teachers for me."

He Yu laughed.

"So the Green Camp managed to investigate even that?"

"Impressive."

"But don't think this proves anything."

"You aren't the only one who knows."

"The previous King knew."

"The King knows."

"The Red Camp Elders know."

If Kunhui could say it...

Then naturally the King could verify it.

And...

Every Elder was over three hundred years old.

Nothing escaped their notice.

General Kunhui continued through gritted teeth.

"When the King was still young..."

"I suffered life-threatening injuries."

"The King knows."

The King immediately nodded, visibly moved.

"That's correct."

"I can testify."

He Yu immediately turned toward him.

"Your Majesty."

"I've already said this."

"Never jump to conclusions."

"If he knows that I nearly died protecting you..."

"It only proves he gathered information."

"The Green Camp has countless plants."

"They can overhear countless secrets."

"You lie!"

General Kunhui trembled with rage.

The King was about to speak.

But He Yu's eyes were steady.

"Your Majesty."

"He may know I nearly died."

"But he certainly doesn't know..."

"I was injured because I was protecting you."

Guilt appeared in his eyes.

"This was never something that should have been revealed."

"But..."

"I cannot allow you to remain deceived by a spy."

The King's pupils contracted.

So did General Kunhui's.

General Kunhui stared at him in shock.

"How do you know that?"

He Yu looked back coldly.

"What?"

"So now you're going to claim you knew that too?"

"If I hadn't said it..."

"Would you have known?"

"Hmph."

General Kunhui: "!"

His teeth ground together.

The King on the throne wavered once again.

He had firmly believed the humanoid General Kunhui was genuine.

But now...

The white dumpling had revealed something this confidential...

Even Eugene was stunned.

Ling Buchen hadn't mentioned anything like that.

So he immediately shouted through the team channel,

"He Yu!"

"How did you know?"

He Yu answered with a single sentence.

"I guessed."

General Kunhui spent his life on battlefields.

Being wounded was routine.

Nearly dying was hardly unusual.

Yet...

Out of all those injuries...

He had specifically mentioned the one from the King's childhood.

And the King's expression had instantly become emotional.

It wasn't difficult to infer...

That he had been wounded protecting the King.

Hearing that, Eugene and Wanrenzhan simultaneously relaxed.

—Good.

That little white dumpling was still He Yu.

Not some actual General Kunhui.

They had almost become confused themselves.

After reassuring himself...

Eugene quietly shut up again.

He Yu looked calmly at General Kunhui.

"Continue."

"Let's see what else you've got."

General Kunhui clenched his fists.

"Three days ago..."

"I reported the Green Camp's movements to the King."

"We also discussed our strategy for launching a counteroffensive."

He Yu's eyes sharpened.

"Invalid."

"Three days ago you were already impersonating me."

"Of course you know those things."

"I asked you to prove events from one year ago."

General Kunhui: "..."

This ruined world fought battles every single day.

So many things happened daily.

Trying to remember something specific from one year ago...

Really wasn't easy.

He Yu sneered.

"You can't say anything now, can you?"

General Kunhui was already furious.

His mind had slowed.

Meanwhile He Yu continued pressing him relentlessly.

His gaze suddenly shifted toward Black Bear.

His eyes lit up.

"I saved Black Bear."

"Three years ago."

"I fought a Green Camp squad."

"We won despite being badly outnumbered."

"I slaughtered many Green Camp soldiers."

"And saved Black Bear."

"We barely made it back alive."

Before He Yu could respond...

Black Bear spoke first.

"...He already told us that."

The "he" naturally referred to He Yu.

Besides...

Black Bear believed He Yu more.

He had already heard the hidden details from He Yu.

Hearing the same story a second time...

He instinctively became more suspicious of the second speaker.

General Kunhui glared fiercely at him.

Taking a deep breath, he growled,

"Don't think you can steal my identity."

"I can still remember plenty of things from one year ago that you don't know."

He Yu nodded.

"Go ahead."

General Kunhui continued.

"One year ago..."

"The Lord of Mingyue City in the Red Camp supposedly died accidentally."

"That announcement was false."

"He was actually killed by the Green Camp."

"For the Red Camp's dignity..."

"The King and I concealed the truth."

He Yu answered calmly.

"Invalid."

"Others may not know."

"But you're a Green Camp spy."

"The Green Camp certainly knows."

General Kunhui continued.

"Two years ago..."

"I massacred an entire Green Camp city."

"I killed everyone."

He Yu nodded.

"Invalid."

"Not only did I slaughter that city..."

"I even threw the City Lord's corpse into the Green Camp capital."

"The Green Camp spies know that too."

Old Stone knew about it as well.

General Kunhui continued.

"Three years ago..."

"I planted a spy inside the Green Camp."

"He gathered intelligence."

"Thanks to him, we won several major battles."

He Yu immediately replied.

"Invalid."

"That spy has already been exposed."

"As a Green Camp spy..."

"You would naturally know that as well."

If the spy were still active...

General Kunhui wouldn't have mentioned him.

And...

If the spy were still alive...

The Red Camp wouldn't have suffered such crushing defeats over the past year.

Conclusion...

The spy had already been discovered.

General Kunhui continued stubbornly.

"Four years ago, I—"

"Invalid."

"Five years ago..."

"Invalid."

"Six years ago..."

...

He spoke more and more.

Every single point...

Was immediately refuted by He Yu.

General Kunhui grew increasingly enraged.

His entire body trembled.

Huge beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

His eyes became bloodshot.

His lips shook uncontrollably.

He simply couldn't understand it.

Why...

Why was proving he was himself...

So difficult?

He obviously was himself.

His voice had become hoarse.

Just as he was about to continue...

He Yu's gaze sharpened.

Looking toward the King, he declared loudly,

"Your Majesty."

"You've seen it now."

"He's fake."

"He can't even prove who he is."

Black Bear silently nodded.

So did Li Mao.

The guards all agreed.

It seemed...

This General Kunhui really was the fake one.

Otherwise...

How could he fail to prove his own identity?

Black Bear carefully carried He Yu forward.

His face was filled with relief.

"Your Majesty."

"Thankfully General Kunhui returned."

"Otherwise..."

"Our Red Camp would have continued marching toward defeat."

General Kunhui roared,

"Shut up!"

"You're all talking nonsense!"

"You've all been deceived!"

He spun around anxiously.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the King.

"Your Majesty!"

"Believe me!"

"I really am Kunhui!"

"Believe me!"

"This toy is unbelievably deceitful!"

The King's expression twisted with conflict.

Originally...

He had trusted General Kunhui with ninety-nine point nine percent certainty.

For the remaining zero point one...

He had allowed this confrontation.

Unexpectedly...

The confrontation itself had created the problem.

General Kunhui...

Couldn't prove who he was.

He couldn't provide even one decisive piece of evidence.

Then...

Was Tangyuan actually the real one?

The King slowly inhaled.

Looking toward General Kunhui, he spoke calmly.

"I need conclusive evidence."

"Don't worry about anyone's dignity."

"Tell me something that can absolutely prove who you are."

General Kunhui's body trembled with anger.

Still...

Hearing those words...

He forced himself to calm down.

His mind had become completely blank with rage.

He desperately searched his memories.

He had to find something...

Something only he and the King knew.

The King still believed him.

He just had to prove it.

Meanwhile...

He Yu pressed even harder.

"You can't prove it."

"You can't say a single thing."

"Because..."

"You're not General Kunhui."

"You stole my identity."

"And now..."

"I've returned."

"I'm taking back what belongs to me."

"You can no longer hide."

"You can no longer—"

Every word struck like a hammer.

Each syllable echoed inside General Kunhui's mind.

After such a long confrontation...

He was already furious beyond reason.

His mind was mush.

His face flushed bright red.

His entire body drenched in sweat.

Now He Yu continued talking without pause.

Buzz...

Buzz...

Buzz...

His head rang continuously.

His rationality completely collapsed.

He suddenly roared,

"Your Majesty!"

"You treated me like your father!"

"You said the previous King only cared about interests!"

"You said I was the one who truly felt like your father!"

Everyone: "..."

The guards: "..."

Wow.

That...

Was quite the revelation.

The King's face instantly turned crimson.

His fists clenched tightly.

He Yu immediately flew into a rage.

"Nonsense!"

"That never happened!"

"His Majesty always deeply respected the previous King!"

"You Green Camp spy!"

"Not only have you led the Red Camp toward defeat..."

"You even dare sow discord within the Red Camp itself!"

Huge beads of sweat poured down General Kunhui's forehead.

His body swayed slightly.

Eugene immediately said through the team channel,

"He Yu."

"You won."

Some truths...

Didn't need to be affirmed directly.

If He Yu were truly the fake one...

He wouldn't have declared General Kunhui's words false.

He would simply have insisted they failed to prove anything.

But instead...

He directly denied the statement.

And...

The King himself knew whether it was true.

The King suddenly stood.

Gripping the armrest tightly.

His vision swam.

His voice trembled hoarsely.

"So..."

"It really was fake."

"Our Red Camp..."

"Almost truly fell..."

Originally...

He had been absolutely convinced the humanoid General Kunhui was genuine.

After the confrontation...

When General Kunhui couldn't produce proof...

His certainty dropped to fifty percent.

Now...

His suspicion had risen to ninety percent.

The little white dumpling...

Was the General Kunhui willing to protect him.

The one willing to die for him.

General Kunhui was completely stunned.

Why...

Why wouldn't they believe him?

How could he fail to prove himself?

His eyes shifted toward He Yu.

Suddenly...

He drew his saber.

He slashed directly toward the white dumpling.

—Kill him.

Kill the one stealing his identity.

He Yu bounced lightly into the air.

Landing atop the Wind Fire Wheels.

Standing there, despite his adorable appearance, his voice rang with overwhelming authority.

"Guards!"

"Seize this spy!"

All the guards immediately charged forward.

General Kunhui was incredibly powerful.

But the King's guards weren't weak either.

Working together...

They managed to hold him back.

General Kunhui's eyes nearly burst from rage.

He stood there speechless for a long moment before finally forcing out one sentence.

"You..."

"You complete..."

"Idiots!"

He had completely lost his mind.

Only He Yu remained in his eyes.

Only killing that infuriating Tangyuan mattered.

Roaring wildly...

He charged at He Yu.

The guards desperately intercepted him.

The King pressed a button beside the throne.

One minute later...

Three Elders appeared.

General Kunhui was powerful.

But the three Elders were even stronger.

Joining forces...

They quickly subdued him.

Two Elders restrained General Kunhui.

The third frowned.

"Your Majesty."

"What exactly happened here?"

The King slumped weakly back onto his throne.

Speaking quietly,

"This Kunhui..."

"is fake."

"He's a spy sent by the Green Camp."

He briefly explained everything.

His face looked exhausted.

The Elder frowned.

Something...

Didn't quite feel right.

At that moment...

He Yu spoke through the team channel.

"Wanrenzhan."

"Kill Kunhui."

The longer they delayed...

The greater the risk.

If everyone kept examining every detail repeatedly...

He couldn't fool them forever.

Once General Kunhui died...

Only one version of events would remain.

And He Yu was confident he could make everyone believe him.

The Elder opened his mouth.

Just as he was about to speak—

Wanrenzhan suddenly flashed forward.

His sword plunged straight toward General Kunhui's head.

The sharp tip pierced through his scalp.

Driving directly into his skull.

"ROAAAR—"

General Kunhui let out a final roar.

His eyes widened.

Held down by the Elders...

With everyone's attention elsewhere...

Wanrenzhan had actually succeeded.

Attacking through the weakest opening...

He killed the mighty expert.

"Insolence!"

The Elder flew into a rage.

With one wave of his hand...

Wanrenzhan was smashed into the wall.

The Elder hurriedly reached for a healing potion.

Then...

He froze.

Everyone froze.

General Kunhui collapsed...

His eyes still wide open.

Dead without closing them.

But as his body fell...

A dramatic transformation occurred.

His face changed.

The face of "General Kunhui" disappeared.

It became an entirely different person.

This...

Wasn't General Kunhui at all.

Death in humanoid form couldn't distinguish between former animals and former plants.

However...

As the face transformed...

Tiny specks of green light flickered across it.

That energy unmistakably carried the aura of its species.

—Plant.

—Green Camp.

The King slowly closed his eyes.

"He truly was..."

"a fake General Kunhui."

"A Green Camp spy."

Eugene, Wanrenzhan, and the others: "..."

Little Stone and Old Stone outside the gate: "???"

Holy hell.

What?!

That General Kunhui...

Really was fake?!

He Yu himself froze for a moment.

Then muttered,

"So..."

"It was Li Gui meeting another Li Gui..."

"They were both fakes."

Eugene spun toward He Yu in disbelief.

Through the team channel he asked,

"You knew he was fake?"

He Yu replied,

"...No."

"I didn't."

In truth...

He was just as surprised.

Then his voice carried genuine admiration.

"That spy was extraordinary."

"I couldn't detect the slightest lie from his expressions or reactions."

"It looks like he wasn't trained overnight."

"This was a carefully cultivated masterpiece by the Green Camp."

Absolutely flawless.

Without a single weakness.

Wanrenzhan was still lying on the ground after being blasted away.

His voice was weak.

Yet he couldn't resist gossiping.

"So..."

"When did this fake Kunhui enter the Red Camp?"

"Has he been helping the Green Camp this entire time?"

He Yu connected all the clues.

"This fake Kunhui was too perfect."

"He must have been an exceptionally cultivated special plant created by the Green Camp."

"He replaced the real one three years ago."

"Three years ago General Kunhui fought a major battle against the Green Camp."

"He was already on the verge of death."

"So why would he suddenly save Black Bear?"

"General Kunhui wasn't that compassionate."

"My guess is..."

"That squad existed solely for the replacement."

"They sacrificed the entire team."

"They also killed the real Kunhui."

"The replacement brought Black Bear back..."

"Partly because it was convenient."

"And partly so Black Bear could later testify that he really was General Kunhui."

"That way..."

"The plan would become absolutely foolproof."

If anyone later suspected...

That "General Kunhui" was fake.

Or suspected the real General Kunhui had already died three years earlier...

Then...

Black Bear would become the strongest evidence proving otherwise.

Ling Buchen sighed.

"That move..."

"Was brilliantly arranged."

He Yu nodded.

"Exactly."

"It was nearly perfect."

"Their fabricated 'General Kunhui' had virtually no flaws."

"The first two years were spent adapting."

"This past year..."

"The Green Camp finally began making its move."

"The Red Camp suffered defeat after defeat."

"Within another five years..."

"This planet would have belonged entirely to the Green Camp."

His voice carried a trace of regret.

"What a pity..."

Everyone: "..."

A pity?

What exactly was a pity?

A pity...

That they had encountered He Yu.

The Green Camp could never have imagined outsiders appearing in this world.

Much less...

That among them would be someone as outrageous as He Yu.

His solution?

Simply impersonate General Kunhui.

And by sheer coincidence...

His acting was so flawless...

That he could force the fake "Li Kui" into becoming the fake "Li Gui."

Well...

That "Li Kui" had also been another "Li Gui."

—The Green Camp really did lose this round rather unfairly.
