Li Dao was still holding the osmanthus cake in his hand as he leisurely bit into it.
”Hmm, this osmanthus cake tastes pretty good.” Li Dao let out a burp and said with a chuckle.
Shangguan Yan's eyes were filled with struggle and pain.
The benevolent woman looked at Li Dao as if she had seen a ghost. She cried out in her heart, ”How could he be alright?”
The atmosphere was a little weird. He couldn't understand why the bean sprout and the stinky tofu were so strange.
”Shangguan Yan, Aunt Shangguan, what happened to you two? Why do I feel that your faces are so strange?”
The stinky tofu scratched his head and asked. Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him.
”Although I really want to call you mother, I can't …” Shangguan Yan's face was filled with pain, and her voice returned to its usual indifference.
”What?” She's not your mother! ”
The smelly tofu covered his mouth as he exclaimed in shock. His face was filled with disbelief.
”That's right, I'm not your mother. I've deceived you, I'm very sorry.”
The woman looked at Shangguan Yan with benevolent eyes. However, her words clearly indicated that it was just a trap.
”No, you don't need to apologize. I'm very grateful for letting me relive our family relationship. I've always cherished it these days.” Shangguan Yan shook her head with a perplexed look in her eyes, as if the woman in front of her was really her mother.
”I'm very curious, why aren't you poisoned?”
The woman looked at Li Dao and asked.
”This osmanthus cake is actually poisonous!”
The smelly tofu was shocked and shouted loudly, but no one paid attention to him.
Right now, Li Yao was a little impressed by smelly tofu. He really did not understand how this person could be so thick-skinned. No one paid any attention to him as he could speak so much.
”How could ordinary people like you guess my level? If this trifling poison could knock me out, then I wouldn't need to live in the underworld.” Li Dao blew his hair and chuckled.
Shangguan Yan rolled her eyes. The woman who pretended to be her mother was also rather speechless. The little bean sprout made a face at Li Dao, saying shameless words and so on. Only smelly tofu was afraid of Li Dao. He did not dare to speak nor reveal any unusual expression.
”One more question. How did you recognize me as an impostor?” the woman asked.
”Your actions when making osmanthus cake are very different from my mother's actions when making osmanthus cake. When my mother makes osmanthus cake for me, she will habitually place the osmanthus flower next to her nose and smell it. Furthermore, she will sing while doing so.”
The woman then looked at Li Dao and asked, ”Then how do you know I'm fake?”
Li Dao shrugged his shoulders and replied, ”Although you've been concealing it, the muscles on your face are not compatible. One look and you can tell it's a disguise.”
The woman smiled bitterly and said, ”I was most proud of Liu Feng's appearance changing technique. I never thought that there would be such a big flaw. To think that I would be so proud of myself in the past. How laughable!”
”I have no enmity with you, so why are you pretending to be my mother to harm me?” Shangguan Yan narrowed her eyes and asked.
”I'm also a mother, how can I bear to harm you? However, the Divine Moon Sect caught my son and threatened me to lie to you. They want me to take the Imperial Jade Seal from your hands, but I have no other choice. ”
The woman smiled bitterly as she took off the skin on her face, revealing an unfamiliar face.
