When Ma Tiantong and the rest saw Mu Lianqing came to testify for Ye Liuyun and brought along with a witness, they felt that it must be true.

Mu Lianqing represented the Nanfu’s royalty, a supposed enemy to the Dark Legion. Why would he speak for his enemy?

"Haha, I knew it! How could this young alchemist, possibly be the leader of the rebel army?" Jin Dayong started to smooth things over.

Ma Tiantong also explained, "Even if you were the leader of the rebel army, it would have nothing to do with the Alliance. We just wanted to avoid any suspicions, hence we could not let you continue living here!

But now that everything has been clarified, you can rest assured and continue staying here!"

Lin Luoyi also chimed in, "He is my direct disciple! You can doubt anyone, but not him!"

"Huh? He’s your direct disciple, why didn’t he tell us?" Both Ma Tiantong and Jin Dayong were particularly surprised.

"He is inherently independent, and wanted to get his alchemist qualification without taking advantage of my reputation, that’s why he never said anything about it. Who did you think taught him his skills?"

Lin Luoyi continued speaking as directed by Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun noticed that Lin Luoyi was able to lie with a straight face.

"No wonder! His skills indeed reminded me of yours! So he’s Master Lin’s direct disciple!"

They both suddenly came to realisation.

After chatting for a while, the group excused themselves to leave.

Ma Tiantong and Jin Dayong wanted to arrange a place for Lin Luoyi to stay, but she declined.

"There’s no need, I’ll be staying with my disciple, watching over them. Xiyao will also move in to keep me company! " Lin Luoyi casually found an excuse for her and Lin Xiyao to stay with Ye Liuyun.

"Very well, very well!" Ma Tiantong and Jin Dayong agreed repetitively.

With this set up, Ye Liuyun managed to solidify his identity as a disciple from the Lin family.

As they left, Lin Xiyao was a bit confused as to why Lin Luoyi and Ye Liuyun lied.

Despite wanting to protect Ye Liuyun earlier, she couldn’t help but question their actions now.

"Don’t say anything now, I’ll explain to you when we get back so we don’t get eavesdropped," Ye Liuyun, noticing her expression, quickly communicated with her telepathically and stopped her.

Ma Tiantong and Jin Dayong used their divine senses to watch them until they returned to Ye Liuyun’s place.

"What a coincidence, they share the same name!" Ma Tiantong was also quite surprised.

"Nothing is truly bizarre in this vast world! Besides, with Lin Luoyi as the witness, what are you worried about! We fulfilled our duty, that’s what matters! If anything happens, it’s none of our business!" Jin Dayong expressed, and went back to refining elixirs.

"You’re right! I quite fancy the lad!" Ma Tiantong gave up on thinking further and rushed back to refine his elixir.

Both were addicted to alchemy and couldn’t pay less attention to other matters. They were quite relaxed compared to Ye Liuyun, and didn’t really care about his affairs.

Ye Liuyun never associated much with the others in the regalty and had been living a secluded life here. Once he settled those old folks, his existence would practically be unknown to others.

That was why he was able to hide his identity well.

Once back home, Ye Liuyun took Lin Xiyao and Lin Luoyi into the cultivation chamber. Only after making sure no one could probe in did he tell Lin Xiyao about his real situation.

Lin Xiyao was astonished after hearing the truth.

"Now that you’re my woman, I can’t keep this from you. I didn’t tell you before because I didn’t want to drag you into this."

"So, Master Lin knew this all along?" Lin Xiyao glanced at Lin Luoyi and then Ye Liuyun.

"Yes, even Mu Lianqing knew!"

"But if he knew, why is he still treating you so well?" Lin Xiyao was very puzzled.

"I have my way to control him. He wouldn’t dare to not listen to me!" Ye Liuyun didn’t go into any further detail.

Lin Xiyao didn’t press any further. She needed some time to digest the sudden influx of information she had just learned.

Ye Liuyun let her to take her time to consider everything. As for whether or not Lin Xiyao would choose to stay with him after learning the truth, he’d let her make her own decision. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Xiyao, don’t be foolish. The stronger your man is, the better it is for you." Lin Luoyi was also worried that she would leave Ye Liuyun because of this.

"I know! I just need a moment to process this information. I’m not going to leave him!"

Lin Luoyi smiled. "Is there anything else you want to know? I can tell you everything I have!"

"Will he... have a lot of women by his side?" Lin Xiyao asked softly.

Lin Luoyi put her arm around Lin Xiyao’s shoulders, "Silly girl, how could women not be captivated by a strong man like him! You have to be more open-minded about this. As long as he loves you and truly cares for you, that’s what matters!

The journey in Martial Arts Dao is cruel in itself. It’s not easy for a woman to survive. Why bother much when you have a man who genuinely cares for you!

I don’t think he is the type of man who shies away from responsibilities. Besides, he is not lecherous despite having the charm. That should be enough for us!"

Lin Xiyao nodded, and after talking with Lin Luoyi for a while, she gradually came to accept Ye Liuyun’s true identity.

But as she was accepting the truth, she became increasingly worried about his safety.

"Should we go back to the Lin Family for now? It’s too dangerous for him to stay here in the regalty!" Lin Xiyao suggested.

Lin Luoyi analyzed, "Maybe he’s staying here because he could gather information more conveniently. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken the risk to come here. We don’t understand his matters, so let’s not unnecessarily worry. Trust him, he will have a way.

Besides, didn’t we already vouch for him? He hasn’t met anyone in the royal city. I think after those two palace masters are taken care of, nobody else would know him."

As for Ye Liuyun, he didn’t care much. Even if someone discovered his identity, he could immediately teleport away with the Black Tower.

These days, he had been concentrating on cultivating the power of heaven and earth and Spatial Force, and had even upgraded his Spatial World once more, renovating it using the power of the fifth layer of the void.

His clone was also practicing with him, even asking the witch for bodies to feed the devil beasts in his spatial world.

The witch was deeply grateful for Ye Liuyun’s life-saving grace, knowing that he had plenty of devil beasts in his spatial world, and the battlefield was overflowing with corpses they couldn’t manage anyways, she, of course, fulfilled his request.

There were so much bodies that even the Devil Vines were being fed.

However, the leader of the Demon Clan hadn’t formally invited Ye Liuyun or expressed his gratitude, and always excused himself with war matters.

With the progression of the war, a month later, Ye Liuyun’s army had advanced half the distance.

Here in the southern regalty, they had just assembled an army of 200 thousand. After a hurried rearrangement, they headed off to the front lines.
