[JX3] The Divine Swindler's Guide

Yu Lihuo was only one year old when he transmigrated into Jian San. Adopted by Yu Banxian as a child, he took to swindling and cheating to make a living...

Con Artist Rule One: When telling fortunes, wear a Taoist robe or some other suitably ethereal outfit. You need to look impressive.

Yu Lihuo silently put on the Chunyang disciple uniform from his inventory, covered his eyes with a strip of white cloth, and set up a sign that read, "Chunyang Taoist Priest, Fortune-Telling Online."

Con Artist Rule Two: Only con people with money!

Yu Lihuo silently fixed his gaze on the flashy, gold-clad Second Young Master nearby.

Con Artist Rule Three: Don't make your claims too definite, so you can always change your story later.

Yu Lihuo put on a grave expression. "...I can't be sure about this. After all, Heaven's secrets must not be revealed..."

Bu Mie Yan of the Valley of the Evil Ones never believed in fate. Back when he was still called Tang Yan, he once asked a silly Taoist to tell his fortune on a whim, just for fun. The words, "Brothers turn against each other, never to meet again," became a nightmare that haunted him for nearly half his life.

Tian Xuan Ying of the Haoran Alliance never believed in fate either. Back when he was still called Tang Ying, and had a younger brother named Tang Yan, he heard his brother mention meeting a silly Taoist priest. On a whim, he asked the priest to tell his fortune too. The words, "Disaster strikes from within; head south to find a way out," saved his life in a moment of danger.

Yu Lihuo, fuming: "What the hell! When I told his fortune, I saw he was from the Tang Clan and had a brother. I suddenly thought of the saying, 'Smoke and shadow never meet,' and blurted it out. How was I supposed to know he really was Yan from back then!!! And about Tang Ying! You can tell from the Jian San story that there's constant infighting in the Tang Clan, so that's why I said disaster would strike from within. In the modern world, you go to the police when there's trouble. In Jian San, you go to the Haoran Alliance. That logic seems perfectly sound. The Haoran Alliance is in Nanping Mountain, so he should head south..."

Tian Xuan Ying/Bu Mie Yan, sneering: "Heh."

This is the story of a fake Taoist priest who pretends to be a fortune-telling charlatan and accidentally gets involved with two powerful figures... Yu Lihuo transmigrates into Jian San with his Taoist character account and becomes a baby. He's got his con artist outfit, the uniform, and his con artist tools, a complete set of the Yinyuan Records, so he sets out to swindle people...

PS: After transmigrating, the male lead never formally joined Chunyang, and he used to be a clumsy PVX player, so he barely knows any Chunyang skills... He's a total weakling with a combat rating of five. He's bought a pile of outfits, so if anything happens, he can just change his look and face and run away, though the two big shots can still see through him... The love interest hasn't been decided yet. It could be Yan, Ying, or even both. Runs away with a pot over his head...
