The atmosphere in the room was stagnant for a moment.

I even felt that even the candlelight on her hand had been fixed at the moment. Suddenly, the bright candlelight illuminated Alan's charming face and her eyes.

My breathing also stopped.

Of course I know that there are some things that cannot be avoided all the time, especially when Alan and Ye Fei appeared in this place, especially when she said that her "sect leader" took Liu Qinghan away, many mysteries that could not be seen clearly and guessed in the past were all reflected in front of me, and they were about to emerge one by one.

I said, "I asked, will you answer?"

She smiled faintly: "It depends on what you are asking."

...

I fell silent for a moment.

Although I realized something from the moment she appeared in Liu Qinghan's room and from the first sight of her and Ye Fei here, I realized something, but because Liu Qinghan's poisoning had taken all my attention, I could not distract myself and consider anything other than him. So, until now, facing A Lan, I haven't even thought about what to ask her.

This silence lasted for a long time, and Alan kept looking at me quietly.

After such a long silence, I raised my head again, and when I spoke, my voice was slightly dumb: "Sister Lan, are you from Changmingzong?"

“…”

She didn't answer immediately, but raised her eyebrows.

But I stared at her, waiting for her answer.

After a while, she suddenly chuckled and said slowly: "I thought you had to ask the first question so deeply, but you actually asked such a stupid question."

“…”

"Didn't I tell you who I am?"

“…”

I was stunned for a moment. Although it was late at night and I had just experienced such mixed sorrow and joy, my mind was very quick at this moment. I immediately recalled a few years ago when I first met her, she was entrusted by Liu Qinghan, or hired to send me out of the imperial city. At that time, when I asked her who she was, she told me clearly-"I am from the Miaoshan Sect."

Thinking of this, I sighed myself and a smile appeared on my face.

I said, "I understand."

Alan looked at me: "What do you understand?"

"You are indeed not from Changming Sect, you are from Miaoshan Sect."

"Is this a matter of needing to say?"

"Of course."

Alan looked at me with a smile, with a slight shimmer in her eyes. At this moment, I had completely recognized where the jokes in her eyes came from, and also understood what she wanted to tell me.

Changmingzong, Miaoshanmen...

"Changmingzong, Miaoshanmen..."

As I repeated these words, I couldn't help but shake my head and laughed. Over the years, from the first time I heard the three words "Changmingzong" in Yangzhou, I learned about this sect. A few days ago, Master Huguo told my mother about his identity, and I began to doubt the relationship between her and Changmingzong. Over the past ten years, I have also had a lot of dealings with people from Changmingzong. Every time I heard people from Changmingzong call it "sect", I didn't care, thinking that this was just an ordinary title.

Until now, I suddenly realized—

Sect, sect.

Changmingzong, Miaoshanmen.

The sect they mentioned is actually the one that combines two into one.

However, this is obviously a secret that is not widely known, so when I dealt with Mo Tieyi and the others, whenever they talked about the sect, they only mentioned Changming Sect, but never mentioned Miaoshan Sect.

Even after I met Alan and the others, I never thought about this.

Changmingzong was taken from the name of the previous dynasty; while Miaoshanmen came from the name of the Bodhisattva.

Eternal Ming...

Miaoshan…

When I was silently chanting these two names in my heart, for some reason, there was a faint feeling of indescribable sorrow in my heart, but I couldn't help but shake my head and smile. Alan looked at me like this and frowned slightly.

Then, I looked up at her and said, "That day, the person who talked to us about bidding for the mine in the inner courtyard was actually you-"

"It's the sect leader."

"The leader of Miaoshan Sect, that is, Mr. Ye Fei's father?"

"yes."

Speaking of him, Alan may not have noticed it herself, but her eyes and voice became softer involuntarily. I am not unfamiliar with that kind of tenderness. But at this moment, my attention can no longer be focused on the love between men and women of any of them.

The leader of Miaoshan Sect is also the master behind Changming Sect.

Over the years, we have too little knowledge of Changming Sect. It is no wonder that when Pei Yuanhao asked Yang Yunhui to go to Sichuan to investigate some things, he found Changming Sect, but it was only at the level of the deacon of the Third Division, and believed that the Yan family was the core of Changming Sect. Now he understood that because Yang Yunhui investigated Changming Sect that year, not the Miaoshan Sect, many clues may have been cut off when they reached the inside of Changming Sect.

So much so that I only heard this truth from A Lan's mouth today.

I just felt my breath tense up. Looking at her, I said nervously and solemnly: "Who is this sect leader?"

Alan glanced at me, chuckled, and said, "I can't answer you this question."

“…”

"I violated his ban and came to save Liu Qinghan and came to see you. That's because over the years, I watched you two come over the years, and I didn't want to watch him die - of course, it was also because his and I had not settled the account yet. However, this does not mean that I would completely go against the sect leader's wishes."

“…”

"When he was here, he never showed up and did not let us come out to see you; when he took Liu Qinghan away, he also asked the people around him to come forward and attack - he was unwilling to come forward and did not want to see you, that's what he meant."

“…”

"If you want to force him, I will stop him!"

Her tone suddenly became tough.

Seeing her like this, I had nothing to say for a moment. Knowing that Alan is such a person who speaks the same thing, I understand that it is difficult to get the true identity of the sect leader out of her mouth.

So I said, "Okay, stop talking about him, I won't ask him."

“…”

"I just want to know, can he really save Qinghan?"

Alan glanced at me and said, "He never says useless words or does useless things."

“…”

"If he doesn't care about Liu Qinghan's life or death, then he doesn't have to do anything extra."

“…”

"Since he took Liu Qinghan away, he said he didn't want to see Liu Qinghan die."

“…”
