"Strange. Something about him feels familiar."
Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) felt a jolt inwardly. Tang Yin... his surname is Tang. Could he be from the Clear Sky Sect, just like Tang Yuehua?
As the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe knew Tang Yuehua's true identity, even if others did not.

"You'll have to ask him that!" Xue
