"Laws have always been the standard by which I measure worldly affairs. I act according to the law and never make mistakes. Even if there's no evidence at first, I can always sense the wrongness of anyone who commits a crime. Therefore, Master bestowed upon me the position of Dean in the hope that I would rectify the situation and enforce discipline. When I first saw you, my intuition immediately told me that something was wrong with you. You weren't a disciple of the Tianyin Sect.
So, I found various excuses to stay by your side, just to find out your true identity, and even separated from the rest of Wenyuan Academy. I don't regret my decision, and I would do the same thing again, but I still want to ask you something."
Master Bai Yuan stared at Lu Zhaozhao with eyes as sharp as a tiger or wolf. Lu Zhaozhao knew that he had finally revealed his true face that was hidden under the appearance.
So she said, "You want to ask about my identity? If I really told you, would you believe me?"
Master Bai Yuan shook his head and said, "I will definitely uncover your true identity myself. But first, I need to confirm whether your identity as a disciple of the Tianyin Sect is genuine."
Lu Zhaozhao was silent for a long time. Then she said, "Do you believe what I say? Aren't you afraid that I might lie to you?"
Master Bai Yuan's expression was tense. He tightened and loosened his grip on the Yun Guan, but finally made up his mind.
"I have my own way, just tell me."
Lu Zhaozhao guessed that he must have some special way to distinguish the authenticity, but this method was most likely used in some special situations, such as interrogating prisoners.
There is no clear evidence regarding her identity now. Logically speaking, the presumption of innocence should prevail. Therefore, Master Bai Yuan hesitated for so long just now, probably because he was struggling with whether to really use it. If he did, it would be against the law he has always adhered to.
Obviously, he would do this even if it went against his moral principles.
"Will it be of any benefit to me if I tell you?"
Lu Zhaozhao took advantage of this atmosphere and wanted a promise. She knew that Master Bai Yuan felt guilty about her, and she also knew that Yun Xian could not hide her identity for long, so she had to find another way out.
Emperor Huizong of the Qing Dynasty, Wenyuan Academy, and Tianyin Sect were three factions that were tied and it was difficult to determine the winner.
Yao Tong was kindhearted and would naturally cover up for her. Even if she was truly exposed, she would do her best to help. But this was all due to her kindness. Lu Zhaozhao didn't want to exploit this kindness to harm the relationship between the two factions. Yao Tong had already done more for her than she could ever repay. Therefore, her current negotiations with Master Bai Yuan were a way to find another way. They would each get what they wanted, and they would not hesitate to exploit her.
"what do you want?"
Master Bai Yuan roughly guessed what she was thinking and asked directly.
"I want a promise. A promise from Master Bu Lu, the last disciple of Wenyuan Academy, and the junior brother of Master Qingsongzi."
Lu Zhaozhao said.
The cave was dim, and Lu Zhaozhao stared straight ahead. Master Bai Yuan tilted his head, and he seemed to see those eyes, gleaming brightly in the darkness.
"I have two requests. I want you to promise not to cause trouble for Tianyin Sect. Also, no matter what situation I find myself in from now on, you must help me unconditionally once."
Lu Zhaozhao continued.
Master Bai Yuan pondered for a moment and then smiled softly.
"Hmm, you have quite an appetite. I admit the first one. As for the second one... I can only promise that if you break the law, I will appear in the identity you mentioned."
"What if I violate it?"
"I can only fulfill my promise as Master Bai Yuan."
"Hmm..." Lu Zhaozhao thought for a moment and said, "Alright. Then it's settled!"
Master Bai Yuan nodded, then remembered that Lu Zhaozhao wasn't looking at him, so he could only say, "It's settled."
Lu Zhaozhao took a deep breath, moved closer to him, and lowered his voice and said, "Actually, you guessed right. I'm not from Tianyin Sect."
Master Bai Yuan suddenly turned his head and their eyes met, each of them having their own thoughts.
"It's no use looking at me like that. I won't reveal my true identity."
Lu Zhaozhao raised an eyebrow, and Master Bai Yuan also smiled and said, "You don't have to tell me, I will find out by myself."
"Then it all depends on your ability."
After saying this, Lu Zhaozhao stood up and was about to walk to the back.
"Wait!" Master Bai Yuan called her. Lu Zhaozhao turned around and tilted her head towards him.
After pondering for a long time, he finally asked the question that was in his heart: "Do you know Junior Sister Lu...also known as Lu Zhaozhao of Emperor Huizong of the Qing Dynasty, or in other words...are you related to her in any way?"
His questions were asked hastily, without even organizing his words properly. It might also be that he didn't know how to ask, but Lu Zhaozhao understood.
She was feeling a little down, and after thinking about it, she realized that she had never revealed her identity anywhere. She covered her face tightly with a veil, and even changed her face to prevent any accidents.
Could it really be the intuition of a dean? Lu Zhaozhao couldn't figure it out.
But she also didn't want anyone to see any clues, especially in front of a smart person like Master Bai Yuanshi, where a slight change in her eyes might reveal her.
"Didn't Senior Brother Bai say there was only one question? Since you have doubts, why not check it out?"
The words were ambiguous and it was impossible to tell whether they were true or false. The Yunguan in his hand did not react, but Master Bai Yuan was relieved.
For some reason, the doubts that had been lingering in his mind just now came out directly, and the words he said were not even complete sentences. The moment he asked the question, Master Bai Yuan regretted it.
But he did not find a reason to cover up the matter. While he was looking forward to Lu Zhaozhao's answer, he also felt a sense of worry that came from nowhere.
The veins on the hand holding the Yun tube were bruised and the fingertips turned slightly white, but the moment he heard the answer, he suddenly relaxed.
The lump in his chest seemed to dissipate. Perhaps this was the answer he was expecting.
Lu Zhaozhao didn't wait for his answer and turned around and waved.
The moment he turned around, the smile on his face immediately collapsed and he disappeared into the shadows.
"Is it just intuition..."
Lu Zhaozhao's mind was full of thoughts, and his eyes grew colder and colder.
She carefully calculated every move from the first time they met until now, including the meeting in Minghai several years ago, and even the various activities between sects. As long as Master Bai Yuan was mentioned, she would dig out the details over and over again, replaying the scenes one by one.
There was nothing missing. Lu Zhaozhao lowered her head, thinking about all the details. She hadn't made any mistakes, so he really guessed it based on intuition?
Master Bai Yuan can guess it, but what about Yun Xian?
They had even met, although only his back was shown, but after more than ten years of teacher-student friendship, would he recognize her?
If he recognized her that day, did he really intend to kill her with that sword?
Lu Zhaozhao fell into deep thought.
Ji Li and Master Bai Yuan sat at the bow of the boat. He cast spells while watching the situation in the distance.
“It’s almost the end!”
The appearance of a rocky shore made him shout, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
