You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Chapter 86 - 35. The Truth of Tantian Sect

```

"Huh?"

As soon as Lin Yue said this, the two fake Patrol Envoys opposite hadn’t reacted yet when the disguised Purple Cloud Envoy, Yu Shiqi, couldn’t help but let out a cry.

She seemed to realize her reaction was too much, immediately covering her mouth, then releasing it, coughing lightly, and blushing as she continued to maintain her icy fairy demeanor, pointing her sword at the two.

"Enough, stop pointing."

Lin Yue glanced at Yu Shiqi with some amusement, saying helplessly, "These two should be your masters, I guess they’ve long suspected your disguise."

Only then did Yu Shiqi lower her sword, carefully scrutinizing the two opposite, puzzled, "Are they really the masters? Their aura feels different..."

The elder, Gu Jingrong, was silent for a moment, couldn’t help but give a bitter smile, shaking his head, "Your Highness, could we talk privately?"

"Can’t we talk like this?"

Lin Yue casually reached out, placing a hand on Baili Fengzhi’s shoulder, patting Yu Shiqi’s back with the other, "This is my trusted and loyal general, utterly devoted to me, and I trust Xiaoyu; what can’t be said openly in front of them?"

He originally wanted to pat Xiaoyu’s head, but her current appearance was a bit tall, making it inconvenient.

"Forget it, forget it."

The elder Gu Jingrong sighed, asking, "How did Your Highness discover us?"

"That’s my secret." Lin Yue smiled faintly, "I was just guessing anyway."

In fact, he was very sure.

The Tantian Sect Leader ’Wudao’ reincarnated as the Sixteenth Prince.

Xiaoyu’s masters once followed the Sixteenth Prince.

Now the Tantian Sect arrived, coincidentally Xiaoyu was summoned by her masters to ’save’ him and escort him to Di Hong City.

But Xiaoyu didn’t even know the way, yet could rest assured to entrust the task to her, this naive soul?

Of course, these couldn’t confirm that Xiaoyu’s masters were from the Tantian Sect.

However, the secrets he received a few days ago about Xiaoyu also hinted to him.

[She is the Sixteenth Prince’s granddaughter, and also the redemption of her masters, truly pure amidst the filth.]

Pure amidst the filth.

In a demonic sect like the Tantian Sect, which thrives on deception, what kind of person could be considered pure amidst the filth?

The answer, naturally, was someone with a pure heart like Xiaoyu.

She, who couldn’t lie, yet had a group of masters specialized in deceiving, was of course pure amidst the filth.

The Sixteenth Prince was the reincarnation of the Tantian Sect Leader.

And Xiaoyu, as the Sixteenth Prince’s last blood relative, was naturally valued by the Tantian Sect.

Therefore, Lin Yue was almost certain—

Yu Shiqi’s masters were indeed from the Tantian Sect!

"Your Highness is truly extraordinary."

The elder, Gu Jingrong, shook his head, sighing, "Your Highness guessed correctly, we, the Tantian Sect people, are indeed Xiaoyu’s masters."

"Ah..." Yu Shiqi looked at the elder in amazement, unable to help but say, "But your aura..."

"Silly child." The elder, Gu Jingrong, shook his head, "A Tantian Sect’s disguise cannot be easily seen through unless one is a Great Cultivator."

He lightly tapped between his eyebrows, and his entire face, appearance, and aura began to change.

The young man beside him, Pei Bin, also shook his head helplessly, lightly tapping between his eyebrows, and started to change.

Lin Yue raised an eyebrow slightly.

Indeed, there was an important connection between All-Seeing and the Tantian Sect, as they all changed upon touching between the eyebrows.

In no time, the elder transformed into a white-haired, chubby old man, and the young man became a refined and noble young gentleman.

"Ah... Master, Second Master..."

Yu Shiqi stared at them in disbelief.

"Silly girl." The Master slightly shook his head, "This is the appearance we usually show you, we worried you would find out about our demonic Tantian Sect identity, so we disguised, not intentionally hiding it from you."

"Oh, naive Yu."

The gentleman-like Second Master sighed, saying helplessly, "We always thought one day you would learn of your masters’ identity, just didn’t expect it so suddenly, but since Your Highness exposed us, it’s better this way, sparing you this silly girl from needless worries."

"Oh..." Yu Shiqi looked blankly at her two masters, confused, "But Xiaoyu doesn’t care what identity her masters hold."

"Precisely because we know you wouldn’t mind."

The Master sighed, "But as part of the demonic path, remnants of the Tantian Sect, if you become too entangled, it won’t end well, it’s hard to break away in the future."

Yu Shiqi became even more puzzled, "Then can Xiaoyu just not break away, she doesn’t want to leave you?"

"Silly girl." The Master smiled indulgently yet helplessly.

Lin Yue could see.

The Tantian Sect people were sincerely protective of Yu Shiqi, after all, the secret also mentioned that Xiaoyu was their redemption.

But...

"I still don’t understand."

Lin Yue spoke up, "Your Tantian Sect dispatched so many people, even sent a fake Patrol Envoy as preparation, what exactly are you trying to achieve? Why did you want Xiaoyu to save me from Qingdu?"

"This..."

The Master pondered for a moment, glancing at Xiaoyu, and softly said, "Xiaoyu, go stand over there, remember, no eavesdropping."

"Oh..." Yu Shiqi pouted slightly, then turned to another tree and started drawing circles on the ground.

Next, the Master set up a sound barrier around them.

He exchanged glances with the Second Master; both took out masks engraved with the word ’truth,’ with a vertical eye visible between the brows, and put them on.

"What is this?" Lin Yue asked.

The Master softly replied, "Your Highness, our Tantian Sect thrives on deceit, rarely speaking the truth, only when wearing this mask do we adhere to sect rules and must tell the truth."
