Chapter 1644: True or False, Hard to Tell

To be honest, this guy in front of him had completely baffled Jiang Fangyou, leaving him at a loss.

However, to distinguish a person's authenticity, identical appearance and soul aura were useless. The best method was... memory!

He had grown up in the Jiang family and was very familiar with all the elders in the clan. No matter how one disguised oneself or how similar one looked, it was impossible to know the memories of their interactions!

Therefore, as soon as this elder asked, he immediately brought up the most secret matter.

"This..."

Hearing this, Elder Jiang Fangping was stunned, unable to speak, his eyes full of doubt.

This matter had happened when they were very young, known only to the two of them in the clan. Outsiders could never know it. That is to say, if it were a disguise, he certainly wouldn't know!

Could it be that this person without the family head token was the real clan leader?

"What's wrong?" asked an elder beside him.

"What he said... is true!"

Jiang Fangping said with slight embarrassment.

The childish mischief from childhood, now brought up and spoken publicly, made him extremely embarrassed.

"Really?"

Seeing him admit it, the other elders looked at Zhang Xuan again, frowning.

Of the two, one must be fake. Since this one was real, the other was naturally fake.

"No need to look at me. Although few know these things, inquiring from some old folks in the clan should still be possible!"

Unexpectedly, this Jiang Fangping reacted so quickly and hit the nail on the head. Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, not flustered, and also looked over: "Jiang Fangping, you cultivate the Sanjiao Soul Refining Art passed down by Ancestor Jiang Chao. Due to improper cultivation, at the Qimen acupoint, every thunderstorm, you suffer severe pain, and if you can't control it, it leads to reverse flow of true qi..."

When the other had attacked him earlier, a book had appeared in his mind, clearly revealing the other's flaws and ailments. Since the other wanted to talk about secrets, he might as well say more.

"This..."

Jiang Fangping was stunned, nodding mechanically: "That's right, but... I've never told anyone about my condition. How do you know?"

Zhang Xuan's eyebrows twitched.

Damn it, he only thought about showing off, not realizing he had said too much...

The library could reveal a person's flaws. It was fine to pretend to be a lofty expert unknown to others, but pretending to be someone familiar was not so easy.

Because the other person knew you too well; what you said might be something the other didn't know at all.

Speechless inside, but his face showed compassion. He sighed: "Alas, actually... I noticed it long ago, but I was afraid you'd worry, so I didn't say anything. I've been looking for a way to help you solve it. I just found it these past two days. Here's the method, take a look..."

Saying this, he pointed forward.

Whoosh!

A set of cultivation techniques was transmitted into Jiang Fangping's mind.

He had read through the entire Jiang family library, knew the errors in the technique the other was cultivating, and combined with the Heavenly Dao techniques, a slight correction could solve it. It was nothing special.

"This, this..."

Feeling the techniques transmitted into his mind, Jiang Fangping was struck as if by lightning, trembling incessantly.

With his insight, he could easily see the importance of this technique. If he cultivated it carefully, not only could the hidden ailment be resolved, but his cultivation could also greatly advance.

Could it be... the clan leader had really noticed long ago and had been helping to find a solution?

If so, this kindness was too great.

"Congratulations, Elder Fangping..."

Seeing his expression, the elder beside him immediately understood and couldn't help cupping his fists.

"Don't be fooled by him..."

Unexpectedly, this person not only disguised himself exactly like him but also immediately pointed out Elder Jiang Fangping's ailment and found a solution. Jiang Fangyou felt his scalp tingle, as if seeing a ghost: "I am the real one. Elder Jiang Fangcheng, you and I have known each other for over a hundred years..."

Before he finished, he saw Zhang Xuan in front looking at an old man before Jiang Fangping: "We've known each other for over a hundred years. Elder Jiang Fangcheng, you cultivate the Soul-Calming Art and should have reached the third realm by now. However, this art conflicts somewhat with the Soul-Cleansing Art you practiced before, so I advise you to stop for now. Cultivate this instead, and I guarantee you'll progress faster!"

Saying this, he pointed again, sending a thought.

Jiang Fangcheng not far away received the transmitted technique and stood frozen, clearly completely bewildered.

This technique was in the same lineage as the previous Soul-Cleansing Art and was far more powerful than the Soul-Calming Art.

"In fact, I've not only paid attention to Elders Jiang Fangping and Jiang Fangcheng. For the sake of the family's strength, I've carefully observed every one of you, knowing the confusions and difficulties in your current cultivation..."

"Elder Jiang Fangzhen, if I'm not mistaken, are you cultivating the fourth realm of the Soul Canon on your own? Your cultivation hasn't reached that level yet; it's best not to force it, or it will do more harm than good. Lately, have you been feeling short of breath and a sense of separation between your soul and body?"

"Elder Jiang Fanglin, your body has been quite depleted lately. It's better to postpone taking a concubine for now, or I'm afraid your lifespan might be affected..."

"Elder Jiang Fanghu, you love painting and calligraphy, that's fine, but you can't neglect cultivation. Has your cultivation stagnated for a long time..."

...

As he spoke, Zhang Xuan looked around, addressing each elder in turn. In a moment, all the elders fell silent.

This person spoke with perfect accuracy, all about the urgent problems and difficulties they were currently facing.

Could it be... he really was the clan leader?

Otherwise, how could he know them so thoroughly, as if seeing through them?

"..."

Seeing all the elders silent and no longer speaking, Jiang Fangyou pulled out strands of hair, going mad.

Who the hell are you?

Even he didn't know the cultivation status of the clan elders so clearly. How did this guy know?

And he spoke with perfect accuracy, convincing everyone...

You've all been convinced by him... What about me?

Could it be that I've really lost my memory and misremembered, that I'm not actually Jiang Fangyou?

Then where am I, who am I, what's my name...

His mind spinning, Jiang Fangyou couldn't help turning to look at Jiang Feifei behind him.

"Feifei, I'm your father. You must recognize me. Tell everyone quickly, I'm the real one..."

If all the elders couldn't recognize him, his daughter surely could!

"I..."

Unexpectedly, there were two fathers. Jiang Feifei was also dumbfounded: "I, I..."

Having two fathers pop up, she was also distressed, not knowing what was going on!

"My father once told me that I must comprehend the True Interpretation of the Soul. If I couldn't, I would have to marry into an alliance—either to Zhang Xuan of the Zhang family or Luo Tianya of the Luo family... If either of you can tell me what I answered, then you are the real one!"

Jiang Feifei gritted her silver teeth.
