Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 212 The Hidden Lie is the Truth
"Children, tell me your names."

Perhaps because she saw her past self in Ling Shuang and Gu Yuena, Ye Xishui's attitude was very good, completely unlike her indifference when facing other evil soul masters.

Of course, it wouldn't be accurate to call it a welcoming smile. Although this Death God Douluo had a good impression of Ling Shuang and the other person, it certainly wasn't at that level.

It should be noted that even when facing Long Xiaoyao, Ye Xishui might not be able to give him a very pleasant look.

This Death God Douluo had already suffered a mental breakdown due to his past experiences.

“Jiang Xue,” Ling Shuang said, uttering the name he had made up.

"Gu Yuena," Gu Yuena said coldly.

She wasn't in a very good mood at the moment.

The mighty Silver Dragon King was being called a child by a human, and Gu Yuena was extremely displeased.

If she hadn't considered that the situation wasn't right, she would have already turned hostile and wouldn't be here talking to Ye Xishui.

However, Gu Yuena's indifferent attitude did not anger Ye Xishui.

There are just too many eccentric individuals among the evil spirit masters. If Gu Yuena had a good attitude and personality, they would doubt whether she could truly become a qualified evil spirit master.

“Jiang Xue, Gu Yuena…” Ye Xishui murmured these two names. She had never heard of a powerful family with these two surnames.

"Children, whose family were you born into?"

Ling Shuang was prepared for Ye Xishui's question.

He then revealed the background he had already fabricated, which he claimed was based on collusion with Gu Yuena.

The gist is that he and Gu Yuena were children from the same village, but because of the awakening of their martial souls, they brought a devastating disaster to the village, so much so that now only the two of them remain in the entire village.

As Ling Shuang spoke, she "involuntarily" revealed a hint of "sincere" pain.

His fabricated background was absolutely plausible, so it wouldn't matter even if Ye Xishui later sent people to investigate the vanished village.

That village wasn't something he made up out of thin air; it was simply destroyed by an evil spirit master more than a decade ago.

They are not evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult, but evil spirit masters who are still freely active on the continent.

As for why Ling Shuang knew this, it was because the village was near the far north. After the evil soul master wiped out the entire village, he encountered Bing Di, who was coming out of the far north to buy some daily necessities for Ling Shuang, who was still quite young at the time.

Even the Ice Emperor, a soul beast, loathed evil soul masters. Therefore, the Ice Emperor, who was already short-tempered, decisively took action, and unsurprisingly, the evil soul master was completely killed by the Ice Emperor due to the huge difference in strength.

Information dissemination in the far north is not very advanced, let alone with a Soul Saint-level evil Soul Master making a move, it is almost impossible for that village to have any survivors.

With the fall of that evil soul master at the hands of the Ice Emperor, the truth was completely buried, known only to the Ice Emperor and Ling Shuang, who had heard the Ice Emperor mention it.

If that's the case, then he can naturally fabricate stories without restraint.

Even if Ye Xishui sent people to investigate, all she could find out was that the village was indeed destroyed more than ten years ago, and that there were traces of evil spirit masters' activities at the scene.

More than ten years have passed, and everything in that village has been completely buried by wind and snow.

Of course, if that Soul Saint-level evil Soul Master was really so useless, slaughtering an ordinary village and still managing to let someone escape, and it just so happened that more than ten years later, he ran into the people Ye Xishui sent to investigate and told the truth of what happened back then, then Ling Shuang would accept it.

If someone can recite that much, what else is there to say? Just flip the table.

With Xue Di and Di Tian helping, they could simply abandon the plan and forcibly take Tang Ya back. Ling Shuang wasn't particularly obsessed with reforming the Holy Spirit Sect; it was just a fleeting thought born of pity. And just as Ling Shuang had suspected, Ye Xishui was confirming their background.

Listening to Ling Shuang's flawless account and heartfelt expression, Ye Xishui had already come to believe most of it.

However, just to be on the safe side, she still wanted to send someone to investigate the area around that village to see if the situation was as Ling Shuang had described.

"They are such pitiful children," Ye Xishui said with sympathy, but her tone remained cold and unconvincing.

"Masked, take the two children away and prepare accommodations for them. Have someone take good care of them," Ye Xishui instructed calmly.

She has to wait for the investigation results before she can make a decision regarding the Holy Son and Holy Daughter.

"Yes," Masked Man quickly replied.

He didn't mention his reward. He wasn't stupid; he knew Ye Xishui wanted to confirm Ling Shuang and the other person's identities.

His reward will most likely be received after Ling Shuang and Gu Yuena are confirmed as the Holy Son and Holy Daughter.

Moreover, even if Ye Xishui didn't give Masked Douluo a reward, Masked Douluo wouldn't dare to say anything.

Ultimately, he preferred to live a good life rather than receive any reward.

Ling Shuang also maintained her persona and expressed her displeasure.

As for Gu Yuena, she doesn't need to act at all. The Silver Dragon King is already very unhappy, so all she needs to do is show her true feelings.

In fact, Ling Shuang was more worried that she would really reveal her true feelings, which would make things troublesome.

Fortunately, Gu Yuena was no longer the madwoman trapped in the God Realm, the Golden Dragon King; her rationality prevailed.

Led by the Masked Douluo, the two arrived at a small courtyard.

This is not the Holy Spirit Cult's stronghold in the Sun and Moon Imperial City; it is merely one of the Holy Spirit Cult's properties in the city.

It seems that Ye Xishui didn't want them to get too involved in the Holy Spirit Cult before confirming their identities.

However, Ling Shuang didn't mind; it was just a little time, and he could wait.

He didn't care at all about the evil spirit masters who were monitoring the situation outside.

Those guys were clearly sent by the Holy Spirit Cult to monitor him and prevent him from making any unusual moves. They probably thought they were hiding very well, but Ling Shuang could see right through them.

If you want to monitor him, then keep monitoring him from the outside. Anyway, it's not him who will suffer, and it won't affect his cultivation.

With Gu Yuena's mental power as cover, even if Ling Shuang cultivates normally, these guys will definitely not be able to see any clues.

Ling Shuang shrugged and went back to her room.

Gu Yuena was also in this room. In the eyes of the Masked Douluo, Ling Shuang and Gu Yuena were a couple. Therefore, the small courtyard prepared only had one room, while the rest of the room had a study and guest rooms.

However, this is not a big deal, since Ling Shuang and Gu Yuena don't need to rest anyway, they can just use cultivation to replace sleep.

Although Gu Yuena cannot cultivate, she can stay by Ling Shuang's side and watch him cultivate.

On one hand, it helps to conceal the life energy that Ling Shuang might unintentionally generate during her cultivation; on the other hand, it can also use this extreme life energy to help repair its own injuries.
