Ye Shikai certainly couldn't tell the truth, moreover, even if he really did, Mi Wen wouldn't believe it. The most crucial point was that the sword You Xi was the sword of Qin General Bai Qi, the renowned "Human Slaughter." His fame spread across six states, and if Mi Wen knew that Bai Qi's sword was "hidden" here, it would likely bring countless troubles, without any benefit. At that time, not only would he become the focus of the Chu State, but various forces in the Qin Country would certainly pay attention to him as well.
Now it seems Mi Wen is still unaware that Ye Shikai's weapon is the You Xi sword, she only sees this sword as having limitless power and feels curious. If she already knew, she would definitely make Ye Shikai reveal it immediately.
