They've broken through!
Although she remained calm and composed, Xu Shi could still detect a hint of panic in the eyes of the saintess in front of him.
Of course! If she wasn't flustered, she wouldn't have asked directly; she'd essentially confessed without being asked.
"Your Highness, what...are you talking about?"
Listening to the two's nonsensical conversation, Qin Yiyan couldn't help but feel a little confused.
What is "Heavenly Principles"? And what is "The Watcher"?
She didn't know much about these things, but she felt a little uneasy.
Even when Xu Shi and his men came to her door earlier, she hadn't felt anything like that.
"...How did you know?"
The saintess ignored her question and mechanically repeated the same question.
Is it difficult?
Xu Shi laughed, looking at Xia Ke'an beside him, "I don't know if you 'Inspectors' have coordinated yourselves, but the same method actually worked for me twice."
Why else could it be? Of course, it's because of the old lady's almost unbelievable predictive abilities.
The previous He Yuxia was exposed in the same way, and this one is no exception.
However, with an SS-level ability right in front of us, even if we knew that Xu Shi had such a cheat, it seems there was no way to defend against it.
Despite being praised by Xu Shi, the white-haired mature woman was not particularly happy, and simply stared coldly at the saintess in front of her.
"Tianli" is her greatest enemy, and she has no good feelings towards anyone who has even the slightest connection with this organization.
If I weren't so delicate and frail, I probably would have rushed up and fought her to the death by now.
Miss Saint remained noncommittal, so her question was clearly not simply about how Xu Shi knew her identity, but rather when Xu Shi had come to suspect her.
After all, she hadn't had much contact with Xu Shi, so the so-called exposure was out of the question.
What gives him the right?
"As for when... would you believe me if I said it was when we were fighting the sea god?"
Xu Shi, of course, did not hesitate to answer, loosening his collar and speaking calmly.
"impossible!"
This answer was clearly unacceptable to the saintess, who screamed in panic, displaying an unprecedented loss of composure.
When was the campaign against the Sea God? At that time, she had only met Xu Shi once! They didn't even exchange a single word, right?
If what he said is true, doesn't that mean she never kept it from him at all? And that she's been kept in the dark all this time?
"Why should I?!"
Her expression was somewhat ferocious.
"I have a suspicious nature."
Xu Shi's tone was much more relaxed. "And thinking about it carefully, it makes perfect sense, doesn't it? Little Luo Yu is the protagonist, so the 'Observer' can only be someone who has a close relationship with him."
"And among these people, you seem to be the most suspicious."
That's true. He now knows that there are conditions for selecting "observers," and it's not possible to just grab any cat or dog off the street.
In short, he/she must be someone close to the "protagonist" in this experimental field; they don't necessarily have to be very close, but they absolutely must have a relationship.
Otherwise, how could he/she guide the other party to monitor the other party without alerting the "protagonist"?
Previously, He Yuxia would create opportunities to get involved with Shen He even when she didn't have them. Although Xu Shi was unfamiliar with this land, he believed that this pattern would never change.
Then things become simple. There are only a few people who meet the criteria: Pan Cheng, the Feng and Ling sisters, the little empress Dongfang Xiao, the Holy Maiden of the Holy See, and Qin Yiyan.
If we had to pick one, Cheng Gujian might count? But Xu Shi had already placed him in the position of "the boss on the protagonist's path to growth," so even if he were included, he would be the one with a relatively low probability.
Adding the possibility of a harem, male friends can further narrow down the options by placing them further down the list.
Choosing one out of five is always easier. Among them, the two sisters, Feng and Ling, were taken as his apprentices. Dongfang Xiao is silly and cute but has her own ambitions. As for Qin Yiyan, if she hadn't come to Xu Shi to provoke him, Boss Xu really wouldn't have put her in the position of "silly girl".
Looking at it this way, the mysterious, veiled saintess is clearly the most suspicious.
So the moment Xu Shi saw her, he immediately found Xia Ke'an and instructed her to investigate this guy's background when she had time.
In short, your veil has exposed you!
Seeing her master's confident demeanor, Pan Ling blinked.
……wrong.
Having learned her skills from Xu Shi, she immediately realized that things were not as simple as her master had said.
It's good to remain skeptical, but this analysis isn't entirely airtight either.
Who says a silly girl can't be a hidden mastermind? Isn't the right approach to question everyone equally?
So the truth is actually...
Before she could figure it out, Xu Shi's gaze fell upon her.
Knowing too much is no good, shut your little pig mouth.
Indeed, the process of finding the "Tianli" mole hiding among the crowd actually differed somewhat from what he described.
The truth is that he didn't let any of these people go; if he was going to investigate, he should have investigated them one by one.
Anyway, the older woman doesn't have to worry about complications anymore, so there's not much difference between checking one or five times.
However, it is true that the Holy Maiden was identified immediately, because she was indeed the most suspicious person in Xu Shi's mind, and she was definitely the first one to be investigated.
Then, a single shot hit.
This is not the end of the investigation into internal spies. Who says there can only be one "inspector"? What if all five are involved? The investigation must continue; none of them can be overlooked.
