Once, I wanted to be a good person

Upon saying this, he paused, then added another sentence, "Honestly, when I found out today that Fang Ze was a descendant of the Si Family, I was quite startled."

Hearing the words of the man in the suit, He Weidao smiled and shook his head before saying, "You, my friend, are still not careful enough. Fang Ze's identity was 'informed' to us by the Bai Family half a month ago."

"The Bai Family? Half a month ago," the man in the suit furrowed his brows, unable to understand.

Wiping his hands on his clothes and walking forward with his hands behind his back, He Weidao spoke indifferently, "Fang Ze is dating that young girl from the Bai Family. The Bai Family isn't opposing it but instead is very supportive."

Upon saying this, he paused, "Nobility, to continue to obtain the power of the World Origin, can only marry among other nobles, after all."

"So, Fang Ze must be a noble. And it's very likely that he's a noble who can marry into another family..."

Hearing He Weidao's words, the man in the suit suddenly had an epiphany!

That's how it is!

Although not all nobles marry other nobles, those cases usually do not receive the support of their families.

But like Fang Ze and Bai Zhi, with the support of their families, there's almost a 99% chance that both parties are nobility.

Moreover, there's another point. The Bai Family only has Bai Zhi and Lady Jin's daughter in this generation. If they were to marry into another noble family, unless they had multiple children and adopted the one who inherited the Bai Family's abilities to continue the lineage, the bloodline of the Bai Family might be at risk of discontinuation.

In such cases, someone like Fang Ze, a noble descendant with no backup, becomes the best choice.

So, while others only saw the Bai Family supporting Fang Ze at face value, He Weidao had already guessed Fang Ze's identity half a month ago based on that one clue.

With this realization, the man in the suit immediately felt like he understood everything. He couldn't help but bow to He Weidao again, "Thank you for your guidance, Teacher."

He Weidao nodded indifferently, returned to his desk, and picked up some grass to start rubbing it as a crafting tool.

As he rubbed his head down, he said, "Oh, by the way. There are many vacant committee positions in Emerald City. I plan to arrange for you to go there."

Hearing He Weidao's words, the man in the suit was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "I will follow the Teacher's arrangements."

He Weidao hummed in acknowledgment, then said,

"Fang Ze is no simple character. Probe his true identity and secrets."

The man in the suit was about to open his mouth to recount how Fang Ze had self-verified his identity at today's inquiry session.

But He Weidao raised his hand to interrupt him, "Don't listen to what he says or how he presents himself. It's all an illusion, all meant to be a deliberate disguise."

"We must look at what he did before, what he is doing now, and what he will do in the future."

Saying this, He Weidao smiled and shook his head, "His abilities are peculiar. They don't seem as simple as merely being a descendant of the Si Family."

"I'm very curious what secrets he has hidden..."

......

Meanwhile.

At the Provincial Government of Xida State.

The State Council.

A few Council Members were also whispering about Fang Ze.

"Have you heard? The director of the Security Bureau in Emerald City turns out to be a descendant of the Si Family."

"I've heard. It's really unexpected, the Si Family still has lineage in the world."

"Yes. I heard that the Chairperson personally went on a visit, but after seeing him, said nothing."

"What could the Chairperson say? He personally presided over the Golden Sparrow Flower incident back in the day..."

"Shush. Keep quiet. How could you speak of that so openly?"

"Alright, alright. I'll stop talking. But Fang Ze's identity was really well-hidden, only to be exposed now. I believe there will be a good show to watch soon."

"Yes, indeed."

....

In the Eastern Administrative Region. Nobility Council Chamber.

Several elders clad in pure purple clothes were meeting,

The leading elder spoke slowly, "That's roughly the situation. Old Lu personally confirmed it, and we can be certain that child is a descendant of the Si Family."

Hearing this, another elder's eyes filled with emotion, "It's truly incredible, the Si Family actually has a descendant..."

"Decades have flown by in an instant. I thought we would never see anyone from their family again."

"The Si Family loyally guarded Spirit Realm Mountain for the Federation for decades, and yet, because of suspicion, this was the outcome they received,"

"Regardless, we must preserve their bloodline, we cannot let the Federation or certain people destroy it again!"

"Agreed."

"Yes."

.....

In the Eastern Administrative Region. A dark room.

A figure of the Black Buddha was manipulating a spell, sitting on a lotus pedestal, "The Si Family still has a descendant...? But still, he is but mere fodder, heh heh heh..."

In front of him seemed to emerge the sight from years ago of the hundred-plus Si Family bloodline members whose blood ran like rivers....

...

At the same time, similar conversations filled with hostility, neutrality, or friendliness arose in the Eastern Administrative Region, throughout Xida State.

The fact that Fang Ze was a descendant of the Si Family was stirring the once calm waters of the Eastern Administrative Region...

.....

Meanwhile, Fang Ze was unaware that he was becoming the focus of the entire region.

At that moment, with his face flushed, wiping sweat off his brow, and panting, he walked out from the maids' room.

In the room behind him, several maids lay sprawled out—in various states, some on the bed, some on the couch, and others on the floor, all of them red-faced, gasping for air, almost on the verge of fainting....

And even so, they still looked at Fang Ze's departing figure as if seeing the devil himself.....
