Amid his shock, Lianshan Xin thought, I can rule out Thousand Faces first.

Whatever the case, Thousand Faces could never be his mother-in-law. That would make their relationships far too tangled.

Yama?

That did not seem right either.

Yama should at least have the strength of a Great Grandmaster, and encountering Great Grandmasters had never automatically triggered his talent.

From what General Qi had said, Qi Shiyun should have been adopted.

She had little connection to Madam Qi.

General Qi was probably overthinking Madam Qi's identity.

He wanted to hear how Madam Qi would answer.

But the next instant, the scene shattered.

Having finished exchanging pleasantries with Zhuo Biyu, Madam Qi walked toward Lianshan Xin and Tian Ji.

"I know Tian Ji. Are you the 'Heavenly Eye' who's become so famous in the Divine Capital lately?"

Madam Qi's gaze was full of curiosity as she looked at Lianshan Xin.

Lianshan Xin withdrew his gaze, though he still surveyed Madam Qi from head to toe out of the corner of his eye.

As expected of a woman who could make a general of Great Yu willingly take over another man's mess, she had lost none of her charm despite reaching middle age. Instead, she had become even more mature and captivating.

Wait, even a mother-in-law acquired on the cheap is still a mother-in-law.

Lianshan Xin gathered his wandering thoughts.

But his intuition told him Madam Qi did not look like Qi Shiyun.

First, she was not as tall as Qi Shiyun. Second, she was not as big.

On top of that, seeing Madam Qi's secret just now had already given him a preconceived impression.

Now, however he looked at them, they did not seem like biological mother and daughter.

Still, the debt of being raised outweighed the debt of being born.
