Thinking this, Fang Ze couldn't help but look up at Lady Jin again, wanting to see what she was thinking.
However, when he looked up, he saw confidence written all over Lady Jin's face, as if only lacking a note that said, "Stop pretending, I've already seen through you."
Seeing Lady Jin so certain, Fang Ze also couldn't help but fall into deep thought, wondering where he had "leaked his own identity."
His mind began to race, thinking back.
The first thing he thought of was Bai Zhi's unusual behavior during their last eting.
At that ti, Bai Zhi had said many things like, "I know your identity," "I know your Awakening Ability isn't the blue fatty's two-dinsional pocket," "I know your Extraordinary Artifact is not obtained through your Awakening Ability."
He hadn't thought much of it at the ti, but now, it seed possible that they weren't talking about the sa thing at all.
Then, he recalled his analysis from the other day.
Through a series of deductions, he had roughly guessed that the three strangers who had protected him, who were at the Yang Transformation stage, were likely remnants of the Si Family.
If before he was only guessing the identities of those three people, now... he had received confirmation from Lady Jin's mouth.
Given Lady Jin's certainty, Fang Ze felt she must have recognized one or so of them, or perhaps seen Awakened Abilities typical of the Si Family remnants.
That was why she had such a misconception.
But then... the question arose.
Why would those Si Family remnants co to help him?
And... why was Lady Jin so certain that he was a descendant of the Si Family, rather than having so collaboration with the Si Family remnants?
At this thought, Fang Ze suddenly felt a lightning bolt flash through his mind!
He knew! He finally understood everything!
The only connections he could have to the Si Family were Miaomiao and the "Darkness" Awakening Ability.
But Miaomiao had never had any contact with the Bai Family or the Si Family remnants.
That ant the problem wasn't with Miaomiao.
So, the issue was very likely with the "Darkness" Ability!
The Si Family remnants probably had a way to remotely monitor the "Darkness" Ability!
Initially, he was worried about Miaomiao's identity being exposed, attracting unnecessary trouble, so he didn't allow her to use her powers.
But he, being brave and skilled, kept using the "Darkness" Ability in secret when no one was around.
This led to the Si Family not finding Miaomiao, but instead finding him, mistaking him for their Young Master!
That was why they first tried to contact him and then risked exposure to co out and protect him!
As for Lady Jin, she likely recognized a Si Family remnant and sensed or saw a trace of him using the "Darkness" Ability, which is why she was so sure that he was the Si Family Young Master!
Thinking this, Fang Ze felt as if a thread had been completely strung together, and the fog before his eyes had fully cleared!
He finally understood the truth behind the great battle among those at the Yang Transformation stage and the motives and identities of the various forces!
However, this ant that Fang Ze faced a choice.
That was whether to acknowledge the identity of a Si Family descendant...
His mind whirled.
After a mont, he decided to test Lady Jin first.
Thus, his expression turned slightly colder as he said to Lady Jin, "Lady Jin, I don't understand what you're talking about."
"I am not Si Ze. My na is Fang Ze."
"I'm also not a descendant of the Si Family. You might have mistaken for soone else."
Lady Jin sat across from Fang Ze, nearly capturing every expression that crossed Fang Ze's face.
Initially, when Fang Ze heard that his identity was exposed, he was very surprised.
Then he beca confused, reflective, and had a mont of realization.
Finally, his expression turned cold.
In Lady Jin's eyes, this sequence perfectly fit the reaction of a Si Family descendant whose identity had been disclosed.
The initial surprise was from being exposed.
The subsequent confusion was about how he was exposed, reflecting on the details, and the realization ca after figuring it out.
The final coldness was clearly an unwillingness to admit it, so he was resolved to deny it to the end.
Thinking this, Lady Jin did not continue to "unmask" Fang Ze's identity.
Today, having confird Fang Ze's identity, she had a good idea about many things.
In the next few days, she might need to talk with her husband, who was also the Bai Family Head, and then adjust the Bai Family's stance on the Yang Transformation stage incident to so extent.
With this in mind, Lady Jin slowly began to speak, "Alright. Since you call yourself Fang Ze, I will continue to call you Fang Ze."
She said, "Fang Ze... I heard that you are quite fond of our Zhi, right?"
Hearing Lady Jin's words, Fang Ze, who was already bewildered by the matter of his "identity," beca even more confused.
'I like Bai Zhi??'
'When did I start liking her?'
Fang Ze was sowhat shocked.
He felt like he had heard too many secrets about himself today.
And moreover, they were all things he was oblivious to.
Though he admitted to himself that he did have so feelings for Bai Zhi, it was purely out of lust, nothing more.
Who could bla him when Bai Zhi was indeed very beautiful?
But... to say 'like'...
Hmm. Fang Ze thought it wasn't quite the right term.
After all, he had always been worried that if he got together with Bai Zhi, they might have a child that could be too foolish, possibly tarnishing the great legacy he had created.
Of course, even though that was his thought, he definitely couldn't say it in front of Bai Zhi's aunt, so he coughed and said vaguely, "A little, perhaps..."
Lady Jin nodded in satisfaction.
