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

Baili Fengzhi slowly furrowed his brow, staring at him, and asked, "Where does your confidence come from?" "It's none of your business." Lin Yue, looking completely at ease, took a seat, "Do you think I'm the kind of idiot who walks willingly into a trap? If I weren't completely sure of myself, why would I agree to go to Di Hong City?" Baili Fengzhi fell silent. She naturally knew that the young man before her was very clever, and he had many mysteries about him that she still couldn't understand. She couldn't comprehend his method of stealing Xia Lie's bloodline at all. Could it be... he really had confidence? "Are you gambling again? How sure are you this time that you won't get discovered?" Baili Fengzhi furrowed her brows. "Fifty-fifty," Lin Yue said calmly. "...You really are a madman." Baili Fengzhi slowly shook her head, "What makes you think I would help you?" "We're accomplices," Lin Yue's lips curled into a smile, "Obtaining the Prince Bloodline, you had a hand in it too. I haven't had the chance to repay you for that." At that moment, Baili Fengzhi instantly thought of Lin Yue's abnormal behavior in demanding half of the Essence Blood, and she abruptly stood up, fixing her gaze on Lin Yue, her cold aura spreading everywhere. For a moment, the atmosphere nearly froze to its breaking point. After a lengthy silence, Baili Fengzhi spoke in low tones, "If I go and confess everything to the Xiahong clan, I might not bear too great a sin, right?" "You want to gamble as well? Gamble on whether the Xiahong clan would have mercy and let you go?" Lin Yue laughed. Baili Fengzhi fell silent for a moment, then snorted coldly, "Isn't following you a gamble too?" Lin Yue stood up cheerfully, intending to stretch out his hand and pinch the silver mask on her face, but Baili Fengzhi's figure shifted ever so slightly, dodging his fingertips. "What are you doing?" Baili Fengzhi said with a cold voice. Lin Yue withdrew his hand nonchalantly, saying, "I just wanted to see your true face beneath the mask. I was curious, that's all." Baili Fengzhi gave him an icy glance, "That is not for you to be curious about." "Is that so?" Lin Yue spoke casually, "But I'm truly curious. I've never seen someone with only half Human Clan blood in their veins. What exactly do you look like?" Baili Fengzhi froze on the spot. She looked at Lin Yue in disbelief, barely managing to maintain her composure, "What are you talking about?" "You should have had a promising future," Lin Yue said with a smile, "Yet because of that half of non-human bloodline in you, neither the Three Religions nor the court could accommodate you. You don't even dare to break through, are you really content with that?" Baili Fengzhi glared at him tightly. If possible, she should silence him immediately. In this world, those who knew her secret should not continue to live. But... the man in front of her was now a Prince! When death comes, it would cause a resonance with heaven and earth. How could she dare to act? She couldn't kill him, nor could she get rid of him. "Why are your hands so cold?" Lin Yue casually caught Baili Fengzhi's delicate hand, speaking softly, "Are you that afraid?" Her fingertips trembled slightly. It was fear. Baili Fengzhi slowly closed her eyes, then, after a long moment, reopened them and looked at Lin Yue, her voice hoarse, "What exactly do you want to do?" "Don't worry, and don't be afraid." Lin Yue said with a smile, "We both have secrets that cannot be disclosed, and we both have equally great ambitions and futures. Can't we cooperate well? Baili Fengzhi, you wouldn't want your secret to be known by others, would you?" After a long silence, Baili Fengzhi said in a low voice, "I understand." "You are very smart." Lin Yue said softly, "From now on, we will be the closest of people, and you will be my most trusted subordinate. Our fates will be linked, for better or for worse. Isn't that good?" Baili Fengzhi took a deep breath, looked at him, and asked, "Are you really so confident that you can deceive the Divine Emperor?" Lin Yue smiled and replied, "If it's just the Divine Emperor, then I'm completely confident." "Hmm?" Baili Fengzhi grew even more puzzled. "You'll understand in time." Lin Yue didn't explain further but casually poured her a cup of wine and asked with a twinkle in his eye, "Shall we drink a toast to celebrate the advancement of our relationship?" Baili Fengzhi ignored his jest and simply took the wine cup and downed it in one gulp. Then she put down the glass and said slowly, "Then I'll place my bet on you. If you succeed, you will be the only master whom Baili Fengzhi shall serve." "Of course, my favorite," Lin Yue chuckled and poured himself a cup too, then drank it all. "Though you are confident, you must still be careful after you arrive at Di Hong City." Baili Fengzhi looked at him, her brows slightly furrowing, "In this world, besides me, there should be three others who know Xia Lie is the true Prince, a fact that cannot be fabricated." "Three people?" Lin Yue asked, "Who are they?" Baili Fengzhi pondered for a moment before saying, "First, naturally, is the Divine Emperor." She shook her head slightly, "Xia Lie's only direct blood relatives are his parents. With the Divine Emperor's supreme Divine Skills, it's very simple to recognize one's own kin. I don't know where your confidence comes from." Lin Yue smiled and said nothing, only asking, "The second is Xia Lie's mother?" "That's correct." Baili Fengzhi gave him a look, "Xia Lie's mother has already left Great Yong and gone to Eternal Night, apparently not planning to return. She might as well be considered dead." "He previously told me that you were acting on orders from his deceased mother, which caused me to slip up." Lin Yue shook his head slightly, "It seems... Xia Lie set a verbal trap for me. Quite clever indeed." "And the third?" he asked again.
