At Zhao Mengru's words, Chen Lin's face darkened, and he hurriedly broke into a wild sprint alongside her.
Only after turning through several passages did they slow their pace.
"You've got some nerve, pretending to be Zhao Canghai's granddaughter. If word gets out, aren't you afraid he'll come after you? And where did you get that Liuguang Bracelet? The mark on it must be exclusive to the Zhao Lineage, or Ma Yu would never have believed you."
Chen Lin looked at her in shock.
"Pfft!"
Zhao Mengru curled her lip.
"Who do you think Zhao Canghai is? Why would someone like him bother coming after me? As for this bracelet, it does have the Zhao Lineage's mark on it, but it's no Liuguang Bracelet. I made that up."
Chen Lin was dumbfounded.
This girl was anything but ordinary. He had completely misjudged her.
At that thought, he immediately asked suspiciously, "Then when you said you were from a Foundation Establishment lineage in Pingyang City, was that a lie too? And don't tell me your name is fake as well?"
Zhao Mengru curled her lip. "Why draw such a clear line between truth and lies? I don't believe for a second that Chen Shuangmu is your real name. Besides, you're wearing a Disguise Mask!"
Then her face blossomed into a smile. "As for the Foundation Establishment lineage, that wasn't a lie. Our lineage really was one once. We've just fallen on hard times, but we still have some connections in Pingyang City."
Chen Lin was utterly speechless.
Not a single word out of this woman's mouth was true.
He had agreed to bring her along so he could use her status to make things easier in Pingyang City once they got out. He had never expected it all to be false.
