Chapter 574 Identity
It was unknown how much time had passed before Zhong Nianyao looked up, blinked her eyes, and spoke softly but firmly, "Let's go directly to the Baili Family!"

Since we are already here, why not just go to the destination! Besides, everything now is just an estimate.

It is still unknown whether Baili Leyao is the biological mother of this body!

If things were really as she guessed, then what happened back then? Why was the original owner left in the Zhong family? Where has Zhong Mingxin been all these years?

She needed an answer to all of this.

In other words, not only her, but also Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong, who have been staying in the Zhong family waiting for their youngest son to return, need this answer.

After Zhong Nianyao's decision, Lu Yichen didn't hesitate at all, and the two of them set off directly to the Baili family's territory.

This is the deepest secret place in Changbai Mountain. There are more than just the Baili family in this place. There are other families as well. It can be said that most of the hidden families who practice cultivation live in seclusion in this place. The spiritual energy here is much richer than that of the outside world. For practitioners, it is definitely a good place for cultivation.

The major cultivation families also have the same tacit understanding, that is, each occupies their own clan land, does not interfere with each other, and practices on their own.

However, times have changed. After so many years, the major cultivation families have become inseparable through various means such as marriage.

It can be said that these families are independent, but there are intricate connections between the major families.

Zhong Nianyao and Lu Yichen held hands and soon arrived at the ancestral home of the Baili family. However, they did not go forward to knock on the door immediately, but stood not far away and looked towards the gate.

The Baili family's ancestral home has a similar layout to the courtyard houses in the imperial capital, but it is much larger than those ordinary courtyard houses.

"Aren't you planning on going in?" Lu Yichen said jokingly with a smile, "Could it be that you're feeling homesick?"

Zhong Nianyao rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "Do you think I would be such a person? It's just that I don't think I have the status and qualifications to come here and say anything now!"

After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Lu Yichen was not surprised. He chuckled and said, "Then let's go in a different identity!"

"Another identity?" Zhong Nianyao raised her eyebrows, "Do you mean——"

Lu Yichen directly took out two simple masks and handed one to Zhong Nianyao, "Our current identity is the handover personnel of the special department, and our purpose is to discuss the upcoming exchange conference with the Baili family."

"Exchange conference?" Zhong Nianyao was a little puzzled. "Will people from hidden families also participate in such an exchange conference?"

"Even people from a secluded family have to understand the world." Lu Yichen explained with a smile, "Although they live in seclusion here, they still need food, clothing, shelter and transportation!"

"So every three years, the people of the hidden families and the special departments will hold an exchange meeting. At that time, the winning family will receive a portion of the cultivation resources provided by the special department. However, not everyone is qualified to participate in the exchange meeting. The more outstanding ones among the younger generation will be selected to participate in the exchange."

"The next exchange conference is about to begin. During this period, the special department will send people to the major families to select candidates."

"You have planned everything, right?" Zhong Nianyao looked at Lu Yichen with a smile, "Did you expect this situation to happen?"

Otherwise, how could there just be such a disguise?
"It's just an extra layer of preparation." Lu Yichen said with a smile, "If you want to go in directly, we can just go in with our real identities." Zhong Nianyao took the mask from Lu Yichen's hand and put it on herself.

The mask was very simple, just half of it, just enough to cover the true appearance of the upper half of her face. Although the pair of golden pupils were still very conspicuous.

However, in the special department, there are many people with different pupil colors, such as some people with fire abilities, whose pupils are red. Therefore, although Zhong Nianyao's golden pupils are special, they are not enough to attract the attention of others.

"Are we the only ones going?" Zhong Nianyao looked at Lu Yichen and continued, "Will this arouse any suspicion?"

"There are also people who have contacted other families." Lu Yichen continued with a smile, "It's just that we will go to the Baili family. Of course, if we don't go, someone else will go."

Soon, both of them had put on their masks.

Although their true faces could not be seen clearly, the temperament of Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao did not fade away, but became even more eye-catching.

No matter who you are, as long as you see these two people, you can feel their extraordinaryness.

The two stood side by side and walked directly towards the Baili family.

Arriving at the door, Lu Yichen knocked directly.

Soon, someone came to open the door.

An old man in his fifties opened the door. After seeing how Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao were dressed, he asked with some confusion, "Who are you——"

Zhong Nianyao looked at the old man who came to open the door, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. Because this old man who opened the door did not look like an ordinary person. His steady steps, strong body, and clear eyes all showed that he should also be a cultivator.

Zhong Nian Yao blinked and didn't say anything.

Lu Yichen directly took out a sign and showed it to the old man.

The old man, who had not paid much attention at first, immediately changed his attitude and became serious after seeing the sign in Lu Yichen's hand. When he looked at Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao again, his attitude became more respectful.

"You two are from the special department, right?" The old man nodded respectfully to the two and said, "Please come in! I have received the news before, and I have been waiting for your arrival!"

As he spoke, he led the two of them towards the reception room. At the same time, he called another servant to inform the master he mentioned.

After leading Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao to the reception room, the old man retreated respectfully.

"this--"

After the old man left, Zhong Nianyao asked in confusion, "What on earth is going on? Isn't his attitude a little too weird? He's almost treating us like idols."

Sorry, I forgot to set the time again! (._。)I'm sorry~
