Identity

As soon as he returned to the room, the Dragon Slayer immediately put Lin Ying down and took a turn around the room to check for anyone eavesdropping nearby.

After making sure the surrounding environment was safe, the Dragon Slayer finally spoke, "Did you discover something? You were even faking unconsciousness."

Upon hearing the Dragon Slayer's voice, Lin Ying did not keep up the act of feigned sleep, directly opening his eyes and speaking with a stern expression, "I am telling you about this because it is simply too important. Originally, I wanted to report it myself, but I am currently injured, so I have no choice but to let you take the credit."

"Hurry up and spit it out if there's a situation. Why are you still acting so petty?"

The Dragon Slayer found it rather amusing. He had heard that Rose was a formidable undercover agent with extremely high composure and endurance. Yet judging from the past few days of contact, she was simply like a little girl; she truly still retained her childish innocence.

"You have no idea what level of battle I just witnessed. Even Titled Douluo-level individuals cannot compare to it. Do you believe there are gods in this world?"

Lin Ying's words left the Dragon Slayer somewhat baffled, but he still pondered her question. "There should be gods, I suppose. After all, what the Spirit Hall worships is the Angel God."

Lin Ying also nodded. "That's right. At first, I didn't quite believe in the existence of this so-called god either, but today I believe it. Because the battle I witnessed today was precisely a battle between the inheritors of gods, and Ning Rongrong is one of them."

"What???" The Dragon Slayer was immensely shocked by this news. He never expected that someone of the auxiliary system like Ning Rongrong could actually be favored by a god, let alone possess such formidable combat power.

With a deadpan expression that showed it was no false news, Lin Ying said, "Indeed, I never imagined that Ning Rongrong was concealing such a trump card either. Fortunately, when we attacked the sect, she didn't unleash this kind of power, otherwise all the elders would have perished right here."

"Is what you wanted to tell me just the fact that Ning Rongrong is a god's inheritor? This kind of thing shouldn't be enough to shock you like this, is there some other even bigger matter?"

"I discovered that the strengths of Shangguan Li and Shaohua from that hotpot restaurant are not weak either, and they might also be inheritors of gods."

Tonight's intelligence simply shattered the Dragon Slayer's worldview. Wasn't it said that god inheritors were exceedingly rare? Why were there suddenly two right beside him?

Moreover, both of them possessed extremely high combat power. If he was not careful, he might end up silenced.

"According to the intelligence you've provided, if you continue to go undercover, won't you be in danger?" Although the Dragon Slayer spoke words of concern, his tone was exceptionally flat.

"What of danger? As long as I can transmit this intelligence about Ning Rongrong, I am willing to do anything." Although Lin Ying knew this mission might not end well, for the sake of the Spirit Hall's plans, she still could not leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect just yet.

What made Lin Ying even more furious was: why did it have to be Ning Rongrong? Lin Ying went undercover in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect precisely because her family had been wiped out over an offhand remark by Ning Rongrong.

Lin Ying detested this willful young miss to the core. Although her childhood friend Bai Jiaojiao was just as willful as Ning Rongrong, Bai Jiaojiao's personality stemmed from wanting to attract the elders' attention, plus she was genuinely outstanding enough.

Moreover, Bai Jiaojiao was also a kind-hearted child; if not for Bai Jiaojiao, Lin Ying could never have survived. Though her temper was somewhat difficult, she was top-notch when it came to treating the friends around her well. If there was one adjective to describe Bai Jiaojiao's personality, it would be tsundere.

Just such a tsundere young miss had originally possessed a happy life, yet unfortunately, it was all destroyed by a single remark from that Ning Rongrong. Just because she wanted an accessory, her family and friends had all vanished.

At first, Lin Ying thought that Ning Fengzhi simply doted on Ning Rongrong excessively, so she intended to get close to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect by getting close to Ning Rongrong in order to obtain more classified secrets.

Yet inadvertently, Lin Ying also discovered a problem: why was it that back then, the Bai Family was clearly a prominent commercial clan, yet they still ended up meeting with extermination?

Actually, the Bai Family had certain market disputes with the Ning Family. Even though Ning Fengzhi was a competent sect master, he was not a top-tier businessman. When it came to doing business, the Bai Family was still superior to Ning Fengzhi.

During a competition between the two, the Bai Family triumphed over Ning Fengzhi, snatching away a project the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wanted. Refusing to let it go, Ning Fengzhi always wanted to exact deliberate revenge, yet never found an opportunity-until a remark from Ning Rongrong provided him with the chance to retaliate against the Bai Family.

Therefore, the Bai Family was not destroyed by accident; rather, Ning Fengzhi intentionally pushed Ning Rongrong, causing her to clash with Bai Jiaojiao, and then guided the matter toward their extermination.

Knowing the truth, Lin Ying had practically suffered a mental breakdown. She never expected that the tsundere young miss who brought her warmth would vanish for such a reason. And it was also on the day she learned the truth that Lin Ying's heart drifted entirely toward the Spirit Hall.

... ... ... ... ... ...

"I don't wish to dwell on the specifics, but I still hope you can be a bit more careful. After all, if you were to be exposed, the Spirit Hall would be placed in an unjust position."

Lin Ying said, "I know. After this battle, Ning Rongrong has already restored her trust in me. If Ning Fengzhi learns of this matter, he should trust me even more. The only one to watch out for is the Sword Douluo."

"What is there to be worth watching out for in a Sword Douluo who has already lost an arm?"

One had to admit that the Dragon Slayer was supremely confident. Facing Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who was renowned for having the strongest attacks, even though he was missing a limb, his strength was still nothing to scoff at.

Yet the Dragon Slayer still looked down on everyone. This attitude of his also made Lin Ying wonder: did he hold this same attitude toward the loyal Supreme Pontiff as well?

"I advise you not to underestimate the Sword Douluo. Although he lacks an arm, under Ning Fengzhi's support, this slight gap is hardly anything at all."

Because Lin Ying had spent a very long time in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, her understanding of the personnel's strength was still quite clear. Toward the two Titled Douluos, Lin Ying had always maintained a state of vigilance.

"I know you have never underestimated the strength of those people, but you should also have sufficient confidence. The strength of our Spirit Hall is not a bit weaker than theirs."

"I am well aware of the Spirit Hall's strength, but wouldn't it be even better if we could resolve the target without suffering any losses?"

Lin Ying never wanted to witness a tragedy like the Bai Family's again, which was why she had spent these past years undercover in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect-just to prevent those instances where Ning Fengzhi used Ning Rongrong as an excuse to annihilate various sects.

"I really don't understand what Rose is thinking, but this news at least won't be able to be transmitted out until tomorrow or the day after. You know that neither you nor I are in a position to move about freely right now, aren't you?"
