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

"Of course, we must verify Your Highness's bloodline authenticity first." The elder, Gu Jingrong, flicked his fingertip and immediately a pale golden fine needle floated up, "Would Your Highness prefer to do it yourself, or shall this old man conduct the verification?" "You do it," Lin Yue said. Baili Fengzhi couldn't help but feel his heart slowly rise. This time the verification was presumably carried out by a real Patrol Envoy, what would the result be? "Good." A slight smile appeared on the elder's face as he flicked his finger, and the pale golden fine needle slowly flew towards Lin Yue, pricking his fingertip and instantly drawing a Blood Pearl. In no time— The fine needle, floating again, undulated with a pale golden aura on its surface, which was suddenly enshrouded in a layer of deep, distinguished purple. Mixed with gold, the purple aura looked extraordinarily unusual. "Indeed, it's purple." Both the elder Gu Jingrong and the young man, Pei Bin, revealed a hint of a smile upon seeing this. Baili Fengzhi also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. A pure bloodline's grade is represented by the arrangement of the rainbow's colors, with purple undoubtedly being the highest, achievable only by Princes in their purity of blood. Although Lin Yue had anticipated this, he also relaxed slightly in his heart. It seemed the Blood Jade was more wondrous than he had imagined. "If that's the case." "With all due respect, Your Highness, please stay peacefully in Qingdu for the next few days," suggested Gu Jingrong warmly, "If indeed another Patrol Envoy exists, surely they will come to greet Your Highness within a few days?" The young man, Pei Bin, also nodded slightly, "If Your Highness dispels your suspicions, following us to Di Hong City won't be a problem. In the next few days with the Bitter Sea Scholarly Boat for protection, there's no need for concern." Lin Yue gave a slight nod. "Then, Your Highness, let's go back and rest," murmured Baili Fengzhi softly by his side. ... The entire city of Qingdu was now shrouded in fog, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving, to ensure the safety within Qingdu City. Baili Fengzhi and Lin Yue got back in the carriage and returned to the small building where they had been resting. "Your Highness." After setting up a soundproof barrier, Baili Fengzhi stood on the Observatory of the attic, gazing out at the fog-covered window and whispered, "These following days might be your best chance to escape. You should seize the opportunity to flee sooner rather than later." "Flee?" Lin Yue looked at her, "Why should I run away?" Baili Fengzhi fell silent for a moment, turned her head towards him and said heavily, "What about the real Xia Lie?" Lin Yue met her gaze calmly, saying softly, "Of course, he's dead. Ashes by last night. You should have guessed already." Baili Fengzhi closed her eyes and took a deep breath, murmuring, "I found out too late..." "Not too early nor too late, just in time." Lin Yue asked with interest, "By the way, when did you start suspecting that I wasn't Xia Lie? Aside from thinking that Xia Lie's mother had died, I believe my performance was flawless. Where did I slip up?" "...Talent." Baili Fengzhi fell silent for a long while before answering, "You can perceive more than ten types of Essence from heaven and earth. Such a talent is extremely rare, I've only ever seen it in you, and just last month I took a drop of your blood which showed reactions to these varieties of Essence." "I see." Lin Yue laughed dryly. He hadn't expected that it was this detail that would betray him, yet it no longer mattered. "At this juncture, do you still intend to maintain the pretense of a Prince?" Baili Fengzhi took a deep breath, her gaze sharpening as she watched him, "I don't know how you managed to create this situation or how you took Xia Lie's bloodline, but..." "Once you go to Di Hong City, the Prince must inevitably meet with the God Emperor." Her voice was low, "By then, unless you are the true Prince, no matter how intricate the deception, you won't possibly fool the God Emperor, do you understand?" Lin Yue's lips slowly curled into a smile as he glanced at her mockingly, retorting, "Are you afraid?" "I'm not as mad as you." Baili Fengzhi took a deep breath, "Having made it this far, we're safe for now, as long as you refuse to return to the capital. Leave a letter and then slip away quietly; we can continue to stall." "I see." Lin Yue smiled, "So that's why you've continued to help me even though you realized I wasn't Xia Lie?" He stood up, poured a cup of tea, then walked over to Baili Fengzhi, holding the teacup to her lips, "Have a drink to calm down, my dear commander." Baili Fengzhi pushed his hand away, furrowing her brows as she said coldly, "Do you really see yourself as a Prince? A Prince destined to be exposed? Do you realize the crime of slaying a Prince?" "What does it matter?" Lin Yue, unconcerned, took a sip of his own and then gazed at her with a smile, "Here I am with you as my accomplice. You and I share the crime together." "Are you threatening me with this?" Baili Fengzhi stared coldly at him. "Isn't it obvious?" Lin Yue spread his hands, "Without a capable assistant by my side, if you were to run off as well, life in Di Hong City would be extremely difficult for me, so... I need you. Let's get along, shall we?" "You still intend to go to Di Hong City?" Baili Fengzhi ignored his deliberately flirtatious tone, frowning deeply, "Have you gone mad?" Lin Yue laughed. "Who told you that if I went to Di Hong City, I would definitely be seen through by the God Emperor?" As he spoke, he lightly tapped his chest, "Feel for yourself, am I lying to you?"
