CHAPTER 1728: CHAPTER 1728: SHH! I’M AN ILLEGITIMATE CHILD!

"Who are you?"

The way Carson Flores’ eyes lit up was seen by Jane Vasquez, and she couldn’t help but laugh silently to herself. It seemed the task wasn’t very challenging after all.

Word was he was a wealthy young heir; he must be strictly controlled at home.

Such a young man should be easy to handle. I wonder what reward the Hall Master will give me once I’ve handled him?

This young man is quite handsome and charming; sleeping with such a man should be a delightful experience, right?

Jane Vasquez smiled and said, "I’m Jane Vasquez, a Disciple from the Outer Affairs Hall. The Hall Master said since Brother Flores has just arrived, he might not understand things, so I’ve been sent to assist you."

Carson suddenly realized, his eyes brightened as he leaned in: "Sister Jane, I’ve just arrived and am utterly clueless, not knowing anything. So this is the Heavenly Alliance branch; Brother Yan really kept me in the dark..."

Jane’s brows were picturesque, her eyes like water, and her tone equally gentle: "You’ve just arrived, so it’s naturally inconvenient to discuss certain things. But since the Hall Master sent me here, feel free to ask me anything. How about I take you for a stroll?"

Carson was thrilled and surprised: "Sure, I shall trouble you then, Sister."

Carson followed Jane Vasquez, and the crowd’s gaze suddenly became subtle.

Someone said sourly, "It seems he’s another wealthy young master, and the Hall Master actually sent the Saintess of the Peach Blossom Sect to personally receive him..."

Someone nearby laughed and said, "Jealous, huh? If you were the Saint Heir of the Top Ten Immortal Sects, not just the Saintess of the Peach Blossom Sect, the Sect Master herself would accompany you!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Although the Peach Blossom Sect is a small sect, after joining the alliance, they’ve made significant contributions, recruiting many other sects for the alliance, such as Crane Perch Valley and Demon Fiend Hall. Oh right, wasn’t Arthur Frost from Demon Fiend Hall smitten beyond belief by someone from the Peach Blossom Sect?"

"Shh! We know about this, but don’t speak of it. If that guy hears, it’ll be trouble again."

"Yeah, mind your own business, loose lips bring misfortune!"

"Enough gossip, let’s talk about the Reincarnation Sutra!"

...

"Brother Flores, after all this talk, I still don’t know where you’re from."

Jane’s gaze had a hint of resentment, just enough to make one feel they’d committed a grave mistake and drawn ire from a beauty.

Carson hesitated: "My mom told me not to tell outsiders."

Jane’s face turned slightly away with grievance: "I’ve been so helpful all this time, turns out I’m just an outsider..."

Carson awkwardly rubbed his hands: "No, Sister Jane, that’s not what I meant."

Jane still ignored him, as if deeply wounded by a heartless man.

Carson hesitantly said: "Alright, I’ll tell you, but you must keep it a secret, Sister!"

Jane turned her head, her eyes brightened: "Sure, tell me, I won’t tell anyone. It’ll be our little secret!"

Carson seemed to finally make up his mind: "I’m a Disciple of the Treasure Path Sect."

Jane’s eyes shone even brighter: "One of the Top Ten Immortal Sects, the Treasure Path Sect?"

Carson nodded, but looked around nervously, seemingly fearing someone might hear: "Yes."

Indeed, a big catch!

Jane’s lips curled slightly, but her voice carried a tone of doubt: "Treasure Path Sect, that’s a very powerful Great Sect. Why are you afraid to mention it, young master?"

Carson rubbed his hands: "Ahem, my identity is a bit awkward to talk about."

Jane’s curiosity was piqued, she pursued: "Go on, I won’t tell anyone."

Carson said in a whisper: "I’m an illegitimate child. My father is a heavyweight figure in the Treasure Path Sect, and I can’t expose my identity, or it’ll cause serious trouble..."

An illegitimate child!

No wonder!

Jane’s eyes shone, feeling she now understood everything.

With a Peak Golden Immortal servant, a mother who indulges him immensely, able to steal a Supreme Treasure from the sect... Clearly born in the Treasure Path Sect, yet afraid to reveal his identity...

So that’s it!

"Wow, your father is a big shot, huh? You’ve really piqued Sister’s curiosity. Who is this big shot? Tell Sister, I swear I won’t tell anyone."

Carson shook his head vigorously: "I can’t say, if I did, my mom would kill me; it’ll spark a massive upheaval in the Treasure Path Sect. Sister, it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s truly unspeakable!"

Carson didn’t say, but Jane only believed it more, even starting to imagine it automatically.

Causing a massive upheaval in the Treasure Path Sect, clearly, this person’s status in the sect is highly prestigious. And it seems he pampers this illegitimate child dearly. Bringing Carson into the Heavenly Alliance might just be an excellent chance to infiltrate the Treasure Path Sect.

If successful, I’d achieve an unparalleled accomplishment!

Jane’s attitude toward Carson was increasingly enthusiastic. She’d already changed her mind; if she could land this big fish, she’d soar high above like a Phoenix.

Didn’t Yan Mu just catch the son of the Demon Fiend Hall’s Hall Master, rising swiftly in status, even daring to be cold towards me?

Though Demon Fiend Hall is powerful, what’s that compared to Treasure Path Sect?

Jane’s heart burned, increasingly looking at Carson with a gaze as tender as water...
