"E-Exalted Blacksmith Fanatic? Are you suggesting a connection between me and that enigmatic figure? What led you to such a conclusion?" Zi Xuan swiftly retorted, her innocence a well-crafted facade.
"So you're not the Exalted Blacksmith Fanatic? How did you acquire that material, then? I can remember and identify any material I've seen once, and that piece of Cold Stellar Iron was stolen from Gu Guming a few years ago." Tian Qiyuan spoke in a calm voice.
"Is that so? I had no idea. I acquired this from the black market last month. So it was stolen by the Exalted Blacksmith Fanatic, huh? A fascinating revelation, but does it truly matter where it originated? It's in your possession now." Zi Xuan's words flowed as smoothly as her breath.
Seeing how stubborn she was to keep her identity a secret, Tian Qiyuan no longer tried to expose her and said, "You're right. It doesn't matter where it came from."
