As a deeply embedded spy, he was intended for significant future use. Thus, during Xuan Lianzi and the others' conspiracies, he had never revealed himself. Unexpectedly, his well-hidden identity as a secret agent was discovered by Xue Shengnan.

With measured politeness, Xue Shengnan responded, "I merely picked up a few minor skills that proved useful. If I can assist General Cheng, it would be my honor." Her choice of words was so deliberate that it immediately put people at ease.
