A single sentence from Baili Xueyuan sent Lin Qi's mind racing.
Lin Qi's first thought was about what Baili Xueyuan actually meant by "Wizard."
'An Extraordinary Profession?'
'Or a codename for a Mercenary Corps?'
"How could that be? Are you joking?" Lin Qi shot back a question, a typical first reaction when a lie is exposed.
Lin Qi intentionally showed an opening.
Baili Xueyuan must have known something, but it was highly likely she bore him no ill will.
Since that was the case, Lin Qi decided to cut his losses immediately.
He would probe to find out what Baili Xueyuan knew, so he could continue to hide what she didn't.
Baili Xueyuan's expression was unreadable. Her sharp gaze fixed on Lin Qi's eyes as she continued, "I suspected it when we first met. The Talents of the Wizard and Blood Robe Extraordinary Professions are hereditary. I didn't have time to investigate in detail back then, so I couldn't be sure. But now, I am certain you are a Wizard Professional."
