"That must be it!" Wei Zhao indeed had never thought along those lines before. The Liu family was no cultivation clan; in Wei Zhao's impression, there were no cultivators in their family, and he had not thought much of Liu Jinghan back then either. So now, thinking about it, he had probably simply overlooked this point. But what puzzled Wei Zhao most, the question he had never been able to work out, was this: "Jingjing, why did you deceive me? Why did you appear at my side as Han Jingyi? Of course, I don't mean that you had some scheme in mind—after all, everything you've done for me has been without payment: helping me research pill refinement, helping me research the grade-one automatic pill cauldron, all of it, asking nothing in return. But you could perfectly well have come to see me as Liu Jinghan!"
"Actually... it was Jingjing's teacher who told Jingjing to hide her identity and secretly help Brother Wei Zhao," Han Jingyi said. Since she had already revealed her identity, she might as well tell Wei Zhao everything—this too was something her teacher had permitted: if it ever came to the point where there was no other way, she could tell Wei Zhao the truth.
"Your teacher?" Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback. He had not expected Han Jingyi to have a teacher. Anyone who could teach a disciple as formidable as Han Jingyi was certainly no ordinary person—most likely a very formidable scientist.
"Yes, my teacher. His name is Sun Jichuan, and he is a very formidable scientist. Jingjing has studied with him in secret since she was small, but even now, Jingjing has only learned a few superficial things. Jingjing isn't as clever as her teacher. If Brother Wei Zhao were to study, he would surely surpass my teacher," Han Jingyi said.
"Pff—" Hearing Han Jingyi's words, Wei Zhao choked and gave a dry laugh. "Jingjing, you think far too highly of me. Now that I know you're Liu Jinghan, you acting this cute is a little hard for me to get used to..."
At Wei Zhao's words, Han Jingyi's expression suddenly turned somewhat gloomy. "Jingjing isn't acting cute. This is what Jingjing's teacher said. Teacher said Brother Wei Zhao is the most formidable person, and told Jingjing to assist Brother Wei Zhao well, that in the future we are to accomplish a great thing together! And besides, Jingjing already told you—it's Liu Jinghan that Jingjing puts on as an act. The Jingjing now is the real Jingjing."
"Your master... knows me?" Seeing that Han Jingyi spoke in dead earnest, Wei Zhao stopped dwelling on the matter and instead asked, somewhat oddly.
"Actually, I should say that my master knows your master. There is considerable history between the two of them," Han Jingyi said.
"Oh? He knows my master? Then does he know where my master has gone?" Wei Zhao was instantly shocked and asked hurriedly.
"He knows, but Jingjing doesn't," Han Jingyi shook her head. "Teacher didn't tell Jingjing. Besides, Jingjing hasn't seen her master for many years. He only instructed Jingjing that he and Brother Wei Zhao's master, along with some others, had gone off together to accomplish a great thing, and told Jingjing not to worry—to study quietly at home, and once her studies were complete, to make ready to go and help Brother Wei Zhao."
"So that's how it is. Then why didn't you... come find me before?" Wei Zhao nodded and asked. (Please follow Yuren's official WeChat account, ID yuren22; Yuren shares the latest news at any time!)
