I've never even heard of such a thing. She's so confident. Is there any possibility that she'll use a trick in her so-called secret technique later?

People in the martial arts world, besides those who fight and kill, also include those who make a living by swindling money using unusual skills.

Just like some people who claim to possess illusion magic, they actually just take advantage of others' unpreparedness and secretly release a medicinal fragrance that can induce a hallucination.

He had personally experienced something like this many years ago.

Now you want to use this trick on him? Ha, it won't work! I've eaten more salt than she's eaten rice, and crossed more bridges than she's walked roads. How dare a little girl like her fight me?

Then teach her a lesson, let her know that not all people who roam the martial world are heroes, there are also brainless fools and brutes!

Hong Xiaoduo then heard Minister Gu asking who was willing to jointly supervise this matter.

As a result, none of the guests spoke up. It wasn't that they were cautious and timid and afraid of offending Lord Gu, but rather that they were unsure whether their involvement in this matter would be beneficial or detrimental to Lord Wei.

If it is truly proven that this young woman's so-called secret technique is a fraud, then Lord Gu has won the bet, and Lord Wei will have to kowtow to him three times!

“Count me in,” Murong Jing said.

This time, Princess Fenglin merely glanced at her son speechlessly; any warnings or reminders were futile.

“Since no one else is willing to participate, let’s count me in,” said Eunuch Fu, who was sitting at the head of the table.

Apart from that, no one else spoke up. Three people overseeing this matter were actually enough.

"Shouldn't this accomplished young lady excuse herself for a moment?" Minister Gu asked.

"Forget it, if I leave your sight, someone might question the results anyway. I might as well just stay here and keep my eyes closed."

"Lord Gu, how about this?" Hong Xiaoduo asked.

Minister Gu thought it made sense; it was safer to keep the main parties involved within his sight.

So, Lady Qi ordered someone to bring a cotton cloth strip the width of a palm, which was then inspected by the three inspectors before being used to blindfold Hong Xiao.

Gu Liu suggested that it should be three-story, so it was changed to three-story.

Hong Xiaoduo gestured for the chair to be turned around, and she sat with her back to everyone.

To avoid the Gu family saying anything more, Lord Wei gestured to his wife, son, daughter-in-law, and his beloved grandson Kaiyang to stand at a distance.

Following Lord Wei's instructions, Murong Jing and his two companions walked among the guests, searching for fingernails belonging to fathers and sons, brothers, mothers and sons, and sisters. They took fingernails from each of them, wrapped them in paper, marked them with a pen, and recorded on the paper which fingernail came from which person.

At times like these, no one says that one's body and hair are given to one's parents, and that it would be unfilial to damage them.

Nails, once they grow long, eventually need to be trimmed.

With so many people around, they are even less afraid of having their curses taken away for malicious purposes.

Moreover, everyone wanted to see if this so-called secret technique for identifying blood relatives was really true.

"Junpei, is this really alright?" The old clan chief couldn't hold back any longer and asked in a trembling voice.

He only arrived yesterday, or he only just found out about the real and fake children.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I, your grandson, will not disgrace the Wei family," Wei Junpei reassured him.

According to seniority, we should call this person "grandfather".

Before long, a dozen or so paper packets containing fingernails were deliberately mixed up and delivered to Hong Xiaoduo by the three of them.

Hong Xiaoduo stood up, and Wei Junpei ordered someone to bring a large cushion and place it on the ground. Hong Xiaoduo sat cross-legged on it, facing more than a hundred guests, and stretched out her hands. The three men quickly placed the paper package in her hands, and then stood to the side, watching her movements closely.

Hong Xiaoduo clasped her hands together, her thoughts entering the space...
