Chapter 1292 - 1291: Mr. De’s Secrets
When she heard what her mother said, Luo Yirui immediately asked excitedly, "Mom, has Uncle Jiang come back?"
Beisitian smiled and nodded, "When we found Elder Jiang, he hadn’t been parasitized yet; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy."
The ’factory’ later created parasitic beasts that were completely different from the Black Coal Ball, lacking strong autonomous awareness; instead, their instincts were more pronounced, and their resonance was much stronger than that of the Black Coal Ball, making them more obedient to orders and having formidable attack power, with autonomous attacking intent.
A parasitic beast like the Black Coal Ball was actually deemed a failure by the Nie Family!

Beisitian found it both infuriating and amusing. The Nie Family was indeed ambitious, and the fact that they had been plotting for over a decade showed they had vision beyond the present. But she never expected their judgment to be so poor.
A parasitic creature like the Black Coal Ball, which is a rarity seen once in a century, was categorized by them as inferior. No wonder Black Coal Ball decided to blow up the factory!
Beisitian was also quite relieved that the Nie Family had done so, because if the Nie Family had realized the potential of the Black Coal Ball from the start, instead of letting it randomly parasitize humans, equating it to abandonment, she wouldn’t have discovered the Black Coal Ball. She managed to induce train it during its ’infant phase’ and formed a blood relationship with Luo Yirui, allowing Black Coal Ball’s loyalty to fall with the small courtyard.
Although Black Coal Ball’s combat power wasn’t very strong, its current body was extremely resourceful, playing a significant role within the castle.
"Mr. De has also returned," Beisitian said with a smile.
The smile on Luo Yirui’s face gradually faded, "Mom, he’s a liar! He’s a member of the Nie Family! His real name isn’t Desan at all; he’s called Nie Yunde!"
He spoke almost word by word, expecting his mother to be shocked by his revelation, but her expression remained unchanged.
"Mom doesn’t believe me? I saw it with my own eyes!" Luo Yirui exclaimed anxiously.
Tian Zhi and others initially had a slight change in expression. Desan had been with them for a long time, and if he really was from the Nie Family... Tian Zhi immediately thought of the insiders planted within the great families’ and major sects’ ranks.
But upon seeing Beisitian’s calm demeanor, it became clear that she had long been aware of this.
"Mr. De is indeed a member of the Nie Family, his real name is Nie Yunde, and he is a cousin to the current head of the Nie Family."
Cousins, meaning they share the same grandfather, hence their relationship should theoretically be quite close; such a person seems to be an ideal inside man sent to spy. Why did Beisitian trust him?
Even Luo Yirui found it puzzling. Although Desan had indeed released him, and Luo Yirui had harbored hope, the thought of his name and his potential connection with the Nie Family head left him consistently hopeless of any chance.
Tian Zhi had a good impression of Desan, who appeared carefree and unreliable, but proved useful in critical moments. Desan had remarkable skill in the Xuan Talisman Way, offering Tian Zhi guidance multiple times, from which he greatly benefitted, making it difficult for him to accept that Desan was a member of the Nie Family.
"Master, can we really trust him?" Tian Zhi asked, hoping for a reason to trust, because otherwise, no matter how much he liked Desan, the relationship with the Nie Family’s head would keep him from considering Desan an ally.
Beisitian thought for a moment before saying, "Regarding this, it involves some of Mr. De’s privacy, so I’ll inquire with him first before informing everyone."
