Zhang Ding Tian shook his head. "No. The Fourteenth Gate captures human spies. They're heroes of humanity. If anyone resents them, then they must be an internal spy."
Lu Yin found it strange. When he had first arrived, he had clearly sensed resistance in that voice's emotions. It was definitely resentment.
"If there was any resentment, it was toward the Fourteenth Gate of the Cold Gate," Zhang Ding Tian said.
Lu Yin was startled. "The Fourteenth Gate?"
Zhang Ding Tian nodded. "Back then, the Fourteenth Gate took a direct descendant of the Liu Family away. After interrogating him, they confirmed that he was innocent. However, that direct descendant couldn't endure the humiliation and committed suicide in hatred. That's why the entire Liu Family loathes the Fourteenth Gate." At this point, Zhang Ding Tian suddenly realized something. He looked at Lu Yin in surprise. "You... couldn't be...?"
Lu Yin nodded bitterly. "I'm from the Fourteenth Gate."
Zhang Ding Tian was speechless. "No wonder you could observe the Sword Stele. So you weren't using your White Dragon Clan identity."
"Tell me, if I try to capture someone from the Liu Family this time, can I succeed?" Lu Yin asked.
Zhang Ding Tian answered without hesitation, "Impossible. After that incident, the Liu Family announced to the outside world that any suspicion toward a Liu Family disciple had to be investigated by the Liu Family itself. Even the Cold Gate wasn't allowed to interfere. Those words came from the Liu Family's Old Ancestor. I'm talking about a true Progenitor, not an elder by seniority."
Lu Yin's heart sank. As expected, this was going to be troublesome. If the Liu Family conducted the interrogation, the Cold Gate might as well investigate in secret. The Cold Gate could never trust a family's own interrogation.
