On the training ground, two young girls showed identical expressions of shock, montarily petrified. Li Chaolu was completely unaware that the stagnated blood in her body had surged up her nose and throat, and she asked:
"What Qian Family!? Ugh, cough, cough, cough, cough!"
As soon as Li Chaolu spoke, she almost coughed herself to death, while on the other side, Li Yue didn't notice that her cool drink had completely spilled onto her long dress with the tilt of the cup, only showing a forced smile.
"Mr. Wang Jiu, what are you talking about... I'm of the Li surna..."
Wang Jiu explained: "An interesting misconception where many people associate a person's surna with their bloodline when there are many exceptions in reality. For example, in marriage, the woman might deceive her partner and engage in reproductive behavior with a third party, later giving birth to the offspring of the third party, while the deceived man considers this offspring as his own. I rember a proverb, 'a cuckoo occupies the magpie's nest'..."
Before he finished, Li Chaolu, enduring the pain, interrupted: "Wait a mont, Mr. Wang Jiu, are you saying that Li Yue is not the Li Family's biological daughter!?"
Li Yue was also stunned, unable to utter a single word.
But in the next mont, Wang Jiu provided a completely different answer.
"She is indeed not the biological daughter of the Li Family. From what I understand, she should be Qian Long, the Patriarch Qian's youngest daughter, Qian Yue."
"What!?"
Li Chaolu truly couldn't hold back and, ignoring her own cultivation, stepped forward harshly questioning Li Yue: "Qian Yue!? Are you Qian Yue!?"
Li Yue's expression was extrely stiff: "Haha, Mr. Wang Jiu, you must be joking again. How could I possibly be Qian Yue? How do I look like Qian Yue at all?"
Wang Jiu stroked his chin: "Interesting question. If you were to remove the Dust-removing Veil you're wearing, then in terms of facial features, appearance, and even your figure and clothing, you are identical to the Qian Yue I know."
"Dust-removing Veil?!" Li Chaolu was stunned for a mont, "What is that?"
Wang Jiu explained: "A functional magical treasure capable of altering the user's facial characteristics with strong anti-detection functionalities, whose basic principle is the distortion of light and..."
"No, no, no, I'm not interested in the basic principles, what I am interested in is..." Li Chaolu turned her head fiercely towards Li Yue, "Qian Yue!?"
Forced to this extent, the girl finally had to give up resisting.
She pressed her fingers on her cheeks twice and then removed a veil-like magical artifact as light as a cicada's wing, revealing her true face.
Compared to the earlier innocent Li Yue, she now appeared more alluring and voluptuous, with a figure more graceful and curvaceous, standing alongside Li Chaolu without losing out in the slightest.
And after revealing her true face, Qian Yue no longer had the previously flustered helplessness, greeting the two calmly: "Mr. Wang Jiu, good morning. Um, Li Chaolu, whatever."
"Hey!? What right do you have to be so audacious as a spy!?"
"Firstly, I am not a spy; I am a devoted student here purely out of passion for the Immortal Dao and admiration for Mr. Wang Jiu, here to receive his guidance," Qian Yue said, "It's just that the process is a bit convoluted, but it doesn't affect the essence of the matter."
"Stop your nonsense! Where is the real Li Yue!? What did you do to her!?"
Qian Yue replied: "I made a mutually beneficial transaction with her, helping her eliminate a debt of a thousand Spirit Stones."
"A thousand Spirit Stones...so what you just said about the gamble is real!?"
Qian Yue nodded: "Indeed, Li Yue bet her badge with twenty Spirit Stones, and after losing to five tis in a row, she owed a debt of over a thousand Spirit Stones. Later, to help her repay this debt, I struck a deal with her about temporarily using her identity. Before the Cyan Cloud competition, I will utilize her identity to participate in the Li Family Inner Sect Special Training..."
"That's blatant espionage!"
Qian Yue countered: "The agreent clearly states that I am not allowed to spy on or eavesdrop on any Li Family Inner Sect secrets during this period, so as you can see, at the start of today's training, I proactively ca to find Mr. Wang Jiu. Because the training content from the instructor is all Inner Sect confidential."
"You're actually getting righteous!?"
Qian Yue said: "I see no reason to feel guilty; I helped you Li Family mbers clear a debt..."
"From the start, you're the reason she got into debt!"
"In gambling, there are always winners and losers. I rely helped her realize this fact. Educating a young and naive Li Family mber early on about the dangers of gambling is, in my view, a blaless act of goodwill. Moreover, she ultimately did not lose anything. With her talent, she wouldn't achieve substantial breakthroughs even if she participated in the Inner Sect Special Training. Instead, a thousand Spirit Stones could greatly enhance her self-improvent."
"She was only exempted from a debt of a thousand Spirit Stones! It's not like she received the thousand Spirit Stones in substance!"
"In my financial accounting thod, the two can be equivalent," Qian Yue said unhurriedly, "In any case, I owe Li Yue nothing. The identity borrowing agreent did not breach any laws or regulations within Qingyun City. Lastly, Mr. Wang Jiu's educational resources are very abundant, and my inclusion does not reduce your acquisition, so I think you need not express such anger; it only makes you seem petty."
Li Chaolu was practically infuriated to the point of soaring into the sky by these inverted truths, but had to admit that in the domain of shaless nonsense, even ten of her couldn't rival a Qian Family mber.
And just as Li Chaolu was at a loss for words, Qian Yue confidently asked Wang Jiu: "Mr. Wang Jiu, there's sothing I'd like to ask you: how did you notice my Dust-removing Veil?"
