At that moment, Du Heng beamed with a flattering smile and fawned, "Your Lordship is truly wise! With just a little scheme, you had Yu Qingzhi spill almost everything. If we had resorted to torture right away, I doubt we would have gotten even half of this roster."
"You lot aren't bad yourselves; you played your parts quite convincingly without giving away many flaws," Fang Chen said with a light chuckle. "And your understanding of the Lingshen Cult runs quite deep. Otherwise, how could he have believed you so easily?"
Du Heng hurriedly said, "The city where I formerly served had quite a few Lingshen temples, and I dealt with those fellows for many years, which is how I came to know a thing or two. But Your Lordship can rest assured, I am not cut from the same cloth as them. The Ancestor has always strictly instructed us to tend to our own duties and stay well out of everything else. We have always acted in strict accordance with the Ancestor's teachings."
