"With the nature of the Yin Shen Palace, how could they possibly adopt a three-year-old child like you?"

"If they didn't value you, how could they appoint you to such an important position?"

Young Master Xing fired off a series of questions, like a rapid-fire cannon.

Aggressive and pressing.

Even giving no time for thought. Killing intent filled the air.

Starlight Master could clearly feel Young Master Xing's killing intent.

He understood that his life now hung by a thread. Young Master Xing was suspicious, the sub branch was important, and he didn't want to lose it. Killing him would mean losing the sub branch, of which Young Master Xing knew the details.

The success or failure of the sub branch hinged entirely on him. That was the only hesitation. But if Young Master Xing suspected he was Yemo, the scales would tip, and he wouldn't care about the sub branch.

Eliminating a future major opponent was far more important than a sub branch that isn't even his!

"Sigh..." Starlight Master let out a long sigh, his face full of bitterness, shaking his head with a bitter smile, with a sense of 'tears before words' melancholy.

"Young Master Xing, you really have misunderstood, and have been misled by the information."

Starlight Master's face was full of a苦涩 like bitter gourd.

Young Master Xing frowned, coldly saying: "Feel free to argue. I'm listening carefully."

Argue...

Starlight Master showed a twisted expression and said: "I don't understand why Young Master Xing thinks Lord Yemo and I are the same person? This suspicion, even I find it bizarre."

"You still won't admit it? Haha, today I'll make sure you die with clarity."

Young Master Xing simply stated 'die with clarity' outright.

The killing intent in his body grew even stronger.

Coldly he said: "Listen, Yemo General Level participated in the Cultivating Gu to become a God, and when he came out, he was at level eight."

"A month later or so, Starlight Master took office in Baiyun State, at level one as Marshal."

"According to Yemo's progress, it was about that time."

"If your potential wasn't good, Yin Shen Palace wouldn't raise you from a young age, since they raised you, such relationship is even closer than with a disciple and basically closer than a godchild."

"An old bachelor from Yin Shen Palace, without his own children, how would he regard the kid he raised?"

"Why did Yemo go to the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan, yet leave you, a genius, behind?"

"Would he leave the opportunity to his disciple, and not the child he raised? Is the Yin Shen Palace like this?"

Young Master Xing coldly said: "You say you're not Yemo? Then explain to me how you're not."

Starlight Master's face and eyes were increasingly full of bitterness, saying: "Actually, I really wish what you said was true. Because with your status, you would never leak secrets that cause future problems."

"Though we people of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect are selfish, at my level compared to your level, you absolutely don't need to trust me, but I must trust you wholeheartedly... Do you agree with this, Young Master Xing?"

Starlight Master asked earnestly.

"That's right."

Young Master Xing walked with his hands behind his back: "Because it's of no use if you don't trust."

Starlight Master gave a bitter smile and said: "And if I were Yemo, it would be great... at least I wouldn't have to struggle like this now."

Young Master Xing continued forward, saying: "Let's go sit in that pavilion and listen to your arguments."

Still arguing... and the killing intent hadn't diminished at all. Going over to that pavilion, he already sensed Young Master Xing's intention to kill him there.

Starlight Master was speechless.

Though I am indeed arguing, at least what I'm saying has some reason, right?

Do you really have to be so biased?

But as they say, the more entrenched the bias, the harder it is to change it.

In front of him, it was truly a dead end.

He walked into the pavilion and sat down.

Young Master Xing flipped his wrist, and surprisingly took out a tea set, followed by tea leaves and hot water, instant tea aroma wafting through.

He even gave Starlight Master a cup, saying: "Have some tea, it's awakening tea, after drinking, it can make you more eloquent when telling tall tales to deceive me."

His gaze was cold: "I really hope you can fool me."

Starlight Master was full of frustration.

Do I really look so deceitful? I'm quite honest, okay...

He lifted the awakening tea and took a sip, saying: "Good tea."

Then he immediately raised his eyes, adopting a 'let it all go, risk it all' posture, saying: "Does Young Master Xing know, within our Yixin Sect, there's a Golden Grass Hall?"

"Oh? What's it for?" Young Master Xing was quite curious.

"Golden Grass Hall, it's... where you might become gold, but most are just grass."

What Starlight Master said naturally existed: "And in the Yixin Sect, if someone from the Headquarters dies in battle, leaving behind an orphan, then... the orphan enters the Golden Grass Hall, where the Headquarters takes care of them."

"Since this is the Sect Hierarch's kindness, so... the children of Golden Grass Hall, when speaking to outsiders, are all said to be adopted by the Sect Hierarch. And I am one of those who came out of Golden Grass Hall."

Starlight Master gave a bitter smile and said: "That's the truth behind what Young Master Xing called being adopted by the Sect Hierarch."

"I see."

Young Master Xing pondered. Given this, the phrase 'raised by the Yin Shen Palace from young' really doesn't hold.

"So, a godchild, raised from childhood or such..."

Starlight Master gave a bitter smile: "Young Master Xing, so indeed, I was adopted by the Sect Hierarch at age three, but until I was eighteen, I never saw the Sect Hierarch."

Young Master Xing was evidently a bit surprised, thoughtfully saying: "I see."

"As for Lord Yemo, I don't know his background; that's confidential within the sect. It is said that the Sect Hierarch only accepted him as a registered disciple, and we didn't know each other before. It is vaguely heard that Lord Yemo was also only noticed by the Sect Hierarch for some incident in his teens, but such events... we didn't dare investigate. So regarding Lord Yemo's matters, we only know that after winning the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan, he was officially accepted by the Sect Hierarch as a closed-door disciple."
