"Shangguan Lian is still quite capable; the forbidden technique she provided prevents the people from the Second Hall from discovering anything," Si Jiuli said. "Plus, the story Xing Lingzhu is telling is that she stumbled upon a remarkably good legacy while out and about. Given that her Spiritual Power was previously downgraded due to the Spirit-Absorbing Art, it is not entirely impossible for her to have recovered and advanced again."
"In other words, the Second Hall suspects Xing Lingzhu, but they haven't connected it to the forbidden techniques of the demons," Song Nianchu mused. She realized the people of the Second Hall were not entirely fools.
Still, Xing Lingzhu was useful to them. They could not conceive of a connection to the demon realm, and they had no interest in delving into the truth behind her situation. As long as they could see Xing Lingzhu’s strength growing, it was beneficial to their Second Hall.
