Lin Chuan was actually far from confident; he had originally only meant to distract Muxin. To his surprise, however, Muxin actually believed him. Seeing the look of anticipation on her face, Lin Chuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue his fabrication.
He walked toward the spirit tablet with an unhurried, measured pace, his hands clasped behind his back, putting on an air of profound mystery. Just as he drew near the tablet and was preparing to spout more nonsense, he suddenly heard Muxin’s joyful cry from behind him: "Lin Chuan, you really are amazing! Now we have hope of leaving this place!"
Lin Chuan froze, inwardly bewildered. "I haven't even started bluffing yet—how is Muxin already so convinced? Does she really think I can save us?" Still, he supposed it was better than being looked down upon. He wore a smug grin and, not even bothering to turn his head, called out, "Haha, naturally! Don't forget who you're talking to. In the heavens or on the earth, there is only one Lin Chuan. If I want to do something, I will certainly achieve it!"
