"Yes, I've seen it. This Starlight Master, aside from his slightly lower cultivation, has first-class scheming and strategy!"

"Slightly lower cultivation?"

Young Master Xing sneered, "Where did you see that his cultivation is slightly lower?"

"He is currently just around the Seventh Grade Martial Marquis..."

Everyone was puzzled; Seventh Grade Martial Marquis, isn't that low?

Not even reaching King level.

To not say it's low, are we supposed to say it's high?

Young Master Xing said blandly, "Did none of you pay attention to what his cultivation level was when Starlight first used the name of the Yin Shen Palace to subdue the delegation from the headquarters of the Shi Family?"

"He was at Second Grade Martial Marshal..."

As soon as the words came out, the five people were suddenly shocked and changed color simultaneously.

Young Master Xing sneered again.

Pointing at the words above, he said lightly, "Calculate, how long has it been?"

"Four... four and a half months..."

Sweat trickled down the five men's faces.

"Four and a half months, rising from Second Grade Martial Marshal to Seventh Grade Martial Marquis, a genius like this, in your mouths, his cultivation is low?"

"And now, is he really at the Seventh Grade Martial Marquis level as per the records?"

Young Master Xing coldly smiled, "Where are your brains?"

The five men stood bowing, their waists bending lower and lower.

Drip drop...

Cold sweat dripped from their foreheads onto the floor.

"You can overlook even this? It's been a bit too quiet lately."

Young Master Xing's eyes gleamed coldly.

The five simultaneously kneeled down, "Young Master Xing, it's our incompetence, our negligence."

"Stand up."

Young Master Xing said calmly, "I don't care who you followed before, but now, you follow me. Anyone by my side is only allowed to make one mistake in his life, and only one chance to correct it."

He lifted his eyes, looking at the five before him with deep eyes, "And that opportunity, you five have just used up."

Young Master Xing frowned deeply.

Looking at the documents in his hand.

The five stood up, feeling a chill down their backs.

"Has the background of this Starlight been checked out?"

"There's detailed information."

One of them trembled forward, presenting a file on Starlight.

Young Master Xing glanced through, then tossed it aside.

"This is fake!"

"Huh?"

The five were simultaneously shocked, "Fake?"

They picked up the file and crowded in to look.

The file contained information on Starlight, including his birth time, parents' names, growth resume, adopted by Yin Shen Palace at age..., right up to him becoming the Branch Leader in Baiyun State at over forty years old.

What he did before, where he was, all clearly detailed.

How could such detailed and unnecessary to investigate information be fake?

"Pig brains, huh?"

Young Master Xing frowned, angrily said, "This riddled and flawed information, you actually took it as real!"

"This..."

The five were full of doubts.

"Let me ask you something, how old is Yin Shen Palace?" Young Master Xing asked.

"Over two thousand seven hundred years..."

The five responded fluently. What's the problem?

"Precisely, it's two thousand seven hundred and sixty-three years."

Young Master Xing snorted, "And according to the information, Starlight is forty-three years old this year."

"Yes."

"Then, subtract forty-three from two thousand seven hundred and sixty-three, what's left?"

"Two thousand seven hundred and twenty." The five answered swiftly.

"Your calculations are quick."

Young Master Xing said coldly, "Two thousand seven hundred and twenty, then subtract the first hundred years from the birth of Yin Shen Palace, what's left?"

"Two thousand six hundred and twenty."

"Heh heh... In these two thousand six hundred and twenty years, did Yin Shen Palace ever adopt a child?" Young Master Xing asked coldly.

"Ahem... ahem... ahem..."

All five started to sweat heavily.

One of them ventured boldly, "Isn't it possible that they had a moment of whimsy?"

Young Master Xing said coldly, "For two thousand six hundred years, when could they not have been whimsical? Why should they wait until over two thousand six hundred years later, when they were already cold-hearted, to have a whim? Where's your brain?"

"And it says here Starlight was adopted by Yin Shen Palace at three years old... Is this bulls**t?"

Young Master Xing frowned, "Three years old... if you said Yin Shen Palace cooked and ate him, I'd believe it. But adopted... what the heck is in your brains? Is Yin Shen Palace that kind of entity?"

The five were sweating heavily.

"Also, these various sub branch Incense Master positions Starlight held, including leadership posts at bases, have you verified them locally?"

"..."

"No, right?"

Young Master Xing snorted, "Something so riddled with flaws that you can sense just by thinking seriously, and you still present it to me?"

The five did not dare to speak.

But in their hearts, they thought: maybe Yin Shen Palace really just had a whim, who can tell?

Young Master Xing glanced sideways at their honest faces, said blandly, "I know you don't agree. So, according to your thinking, indeed, Yin Shen Palace went crazy, acted abnormal, had a whim, and adopted a child, raising him since he was three… alright?"

"..." Silence from the crowd.

"Raising from three to over forty, wouldn't the attachment be deep?"

Young Master Xing asked, "And still a martial arts genius... Then, let me ask, how long has it been since the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan? And this Starlight reached Marshal Level. Is he a genius?"

"According to the cultivation progress, at that time, Starlight should have been at General Level Peak, right?"

"Since he's such a close confidant of Yin Shen Palace, raised from childhood, why didn't he join the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan? Use your pathetic brains to think, is this possible?"

Young Master Xing angrily said, "Raised from three to adulthood, isn't this practically like a son? This relationship should be much closer than the master-disciple relationship of Yemo, right? Why did Yemo go, and Starlight didn't?"

"The martial strength Starlight displayed was a bit lower compared to Yemo at that time, but which scheming tactic was he lacking? Wouldn't entering the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan assure him as one of those who lived through it?"
