Zhao Changhe didn't know how to respond.

With the hatred that Luo Qi had for the emperor, even if Tang Chancellor safely brought this "prince" to the capital and made him the crown prince, it was very likely that the one who would overturn the world would be this crown prince.

Indeed, from him, Zhao Changhe, to everyone else, no one really cared about what she thought.

"As for the Luo family..." Luo Qi sneered, "Luo Zhenwu is older than me, but not by much, only two or three months. At that time, there was no one from the emperor's side in the village, and the head of the Luo family had some crooked thoughts. Later, when the emperor sent someone to ask, he was deliberately vague and confusing, making people think that the prince was Luo Zhenwu."

"He does have some guts, but does he really expect his son to sit on that throne one day? A mere local tyrant participating in the struggle for the throne, how many lives does he have?"

"Well, he may not have that kind of courage, but he hopes to use this opportunity to give his son a bright future. The emperor thinks that Luo Zhenwu is his own offspring, so he will naturally take care of him to some extent. He even sent his best guards to protect him, but unfortunately, Luo Zhenwu was not up to the task, otherwise his achievements would have been even greater."

"That's true."

"But the misunderstanding that has been caused is interesting - regardless of whether it is Luo Zhenwu or not, people all over the world subconsciously think that the emperor's offspring staying at the Luo family's village is a son, and no one has ever thought that it could be a princess."

"So, the head of the Luo family should have killed you."

"You think he didn't want to? He was just a coward, scared to do it. To really kill a princess, the number one person in the world, he really didn't have the guts. Instead, he dressed me up as a man, and now it's hard to get off the tiger's back. He doesn't even know how it will end."

"... useless."

Luo Qi laughed, "If he wasn't useless, I wouldn't be here today."

Zhao Changhe nodded, "What happened later?"

"He arranged for me and my mother to live in the outer sect. Before my mother passed away, he didn't know the emperor's intentions and was afraid of any misunderstandings, so he didn't come to visit us. Those days were tough for me and my mother. Changhe... in this world, the only person who left me a bowl of rice was my mother. I never thought there would be someone like Zhao Changhe. All my doubts and hesitation about you stem from this."

"..."

After my mother passed away, the head of the Luo family became less cautious and began to take care of me, giving me a separate courtyard... by the way, did you ever think that this was not something an ordinary outer sect disciple could have?"

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

"They all say I'm an idiot."

Facing Zhao Changhe's complete failure, Luo Qi couldn't be bothered to laugh at him anymore, "Actually, he's just leaving himself a way out. If I ever return to my roots one day, he will still consider the affection he had for me when he took care of me since childhood. He's really good at calculating."

"This kind of person thinks too much, is too timid, and is always scheming without ever making a decisive move. He can't accomplish anything big."

"So he's useless." Luo Qi said leisurely, "But I have to be careful of this useless person. My mother passed on the Four Symbols White Tiger Divine Art to me. I can't let anyone know that I have it. I only display the outer sect's teachings, boasting about breaking through the first level of the Xuan Guan... that way, no one will suspect that I actually have the White Tiger Divine Art. I reached the fourth level of the Xuan Guan at the beginning of the year, and now I'm almost at the fifth level."

"Damn, you..."

Luo Qi smiled, "I told you, I've been lying to you all along."

Zhao Changhe sulkily turned his head. Is it really that impressive that you can lie to people? I can lie too.

I saw it last night, you really are the White Tiger. Do you want me to tell you?"My mother always warned me before she left, not to trust anyone, not to confide in anyone, and to kill anyone who obstructs you... I followed her teachings... but... then I met you." Luo Qi said softly, "Changhe, I've had murderous thoughts towards you many times, and I was wrong... but in this world, you're actually the special one..."

Zhao Changhe retorted, "I'm special... I am special. But you still haven't said why you wanted to kill me before. We're getting off topic."

Luo Qi replied calmly, "Off topic? Without this background story, how can we stay on topic?"

"Can we get back on topic now?"

"The emperor values his offspring very much. Before leaving, he left a token for my mother, meaning to leave a reminder. I dare not let Lord Luo know about the existence of this token... luckily, he didn't search for it."

Zhao Changhe was stunned, and his face changed slightly. He might have seen the token before.

Luo Qi continued, "You asked me why I wanted to kill you so early... because there was no token on Luo Zhenwu's body. After the Tang Chancellor's inspection, he will know that Luo Zhenwu is not the rightful heir and will definitely search for other bodies of the Luo family. But there are none. What does that mean?"

Zhao Changhe's heart skipped a beat. "It means that she knows that only one of us is the rightful heir."

"Yes... but she always thought it was a prince. If she finds me, it will be hard for me to hide my female identity from her. Then who will be the rightful heir in her mind?"

Zhao Changhe's eyes widened.

Luo Qi explained, "It's you."

"What the f*ck... I'm not the right age!"

"People can look older than their age. Luo Zhenwu looks about the same age as you... as long as you don't say anything, who knows your true age? Only a fool like you would tell Yue Hongling that you're two months older than her."

"...," Zhao Changhe was speechless.

"Of course, you could have lied to her. It doesn't matter. What's really important is that even if they know you might not be the rightful heir, they might still force you to be, because as long as there is a prince alive, the situation won't be too bad. For this reason, they may not even need you to produce the token, they may just create one for you."

"...," Zhao Changhe was now at a loss for words. He felt like his years of university education had been wasted, unable to find words to describe his current feelings.

It felt strange, but upon further thought, this logic was self-consistent and there was a certain possibility that this would happen.

"So you never thought that you might have taken my identity, and the possibility is high." Luo Qi smiled, "Although I don't like this identity, I hate the feeling of being robbed even more. If you were in my shoes, would you want to kill this person?"

Zhao Changhe sighed, "I might... the reason for wanting to kill me is quite interesting, although it's a bit far-fetched, it's still better than fighting over a treasure. Speaking of which, the Four Elephant Sect and the Blood God Sect are really interesting. They went to exterminate the sect, but the only outer disciple they missed happened to be the rightful heir. If Zhuque knew, I wonder if he would spit blood."

Luo Qi smiled, "The Four Elephant Sect only wants to kill the prince. If I were a woman, she might not have wanted to kill me. From another perspective, I am actually a true descendant of the Four Elephant Sect, and I only have hatred towards the emperor, I don't want to acknowledge him as my father."

Zhao Changhe thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, you are actually the one who wants to join the Four Elephant Sect the most, and the most suitable person for it."Luo Qi said, "You said that my reason for killing you is better than stealing things, but it's still about stealing things. It's just that we're stealing either treasures or identities... Since the treasure is now mine, then..."

She paused, suddenly smiled, and took out a jade pendant from her pocket and threw it over. "From today on, this prince... is you. Do you want to use this identity? It's up to you to decide."

Zhao Changhe was taken aback. "Hey!"

Luo Qi waved her hand. "The identity of the Four Elephant Sect and the royal family are in conflict. I have to choose one. Now that I have chosen the Four Elephant Sect, this token has become a burden to me. If it is discovered by the Four Elephant Sect, it will only cause more trouble. So I couldn't keep it, and if you don't want it, just throw it away."

Zhao Changhe looked at the round carved dragon jade pendant in his hand, which was exactly the same as the symbol on the position card.

He had never thought that this thing would become his...

By the way... since the eyes behind the card belonged to him, shouldn't everything else on the card also belong to him?

It turned out that it was only now that he truly uncovered that card.

Zhao Changhe did not feel the joy of solving a puzzle as before, but rather a sudden panic. What was this predetermined fate feeling... Could it be that it was just a repeat of something that had already happened?

Or was there really a mysterious force manipulating everything?

But at this point, every step of the way was completely decided by his own thinking. Was that also fake?

After a long silence, Zhao Changhe made up his mind.

He had to accept the jade pendant. This might be a key clue to unraveling the mystery of crossing. But no matter what, he would not use it. Let's see how far this "fate" could go.

But just as he was thinking this, a soft light began to emanate from the jade pendant, and a strange power was slowly washing his meridians, similar to the inheritance of the Azure Dragon Seal to Luo Qi.

Zhao Changhe was dumbfounded, and Luo Qi's eyes widened.

After a while, Luo Qi suddenly burst into laughter, with tears in her eyes. "So that's how it is, so that's how it is. This jade pendant contains the inheritance of Xia Longyuan, but it was meant for a boy!"
