"What did you say? Your name... Lin Huan??" I felt a surge of wariness, suspecting he might be a spy from the Ten Thousand Poison Hall.
I scrutinized the youth who claimed to be Lin Huan; his features bore some resemblance to Lin Gang.
But those eyes were exactly like my mother's.
And my eyes look the same.
While climbing the mountain, the youth scratched his head, "Yes, I am a direct descendant of the Lin Family. I rarely left home in my early years and have little exposure to the outside world, so not many should know me. Why... are you so surprised?"
"I..." I was at a loss for words, unable to think of any excuse.
The youth's eyes suddenly lit up, "Hey, Miss Chen, the Begonia Hairpin on your head... how does it also have the power to repel demons?"
A sense of irritation rose within me, and I wanted to confront the youth before me outright.
Clearly, he was a spy from the Ten Thousand Poison Hall, disgustingly exploiting my grandfather's reputation.
