Chapter 1664: True and False Hard to Distinguish

To be honest, the man before him had Jiang Fangyou questioning his very existence and feeling utterly bewildered.

However, to identify whether a person was genuine, having the same appearance or even the same soul aura was useless. The best way to distinguish them was through memories!

He had grown up in the Jiang family and was very familiar with all the elders. No matter how perfectly one disguised themselves, it would be impossible to know all the shared memories.

So, when this elder asked a question, he immediately revealed a most secret incident they shared.

"This..."Hearing those words, Elder Jiang Fangping froze, speechless, his eyes filled with doubt.

This incident had occurred when they were very young, and only the two of them in the clan knew about it. Outsiders could never be privy to it, meaning that if it were a disguise, the impostor certainly wouldn't know.

Could it be that this person, who lacked the family head token, was the real clan head?

"What's wrong?" an elder beside him asked.

"What he said... is true!" Elder Jiang Fangping admitted with a touch of embarrassment.

His childhood mischief, now revealed publicly, made him extremely embarrassed.

"Really?"Seeing him admit it, the other elders once again looked at Zhang Xuan, their brows deeply furrowed.

Of the two people, one had to be an impostor. Since this statement was confirmed as true, the other person was naturally the fake.

"There's no need to look at me," Zhang Xuan said with a slight, unhurried smile, his gaze also falling upon them. "Although not many people know about these matters, you could surely inquire with some of the older clan members." He had not expected Jiang Fangping to react so quickly, immediately hitting a crucial point. Zhang Xuan continued, "Jiang Fangping, you cultivate the Three Jiao Soul Refining Art passed down by ancestor Jiang Chao. Due to improper cultivation, your Qimen acupoint becomes intensely painful every time there's stormy weather, and if left unchecked, it can even cause your vital energy to flow in reverse..."

When the other party had attacked him just now, books had appeared in his mind, revealing all the flaws and issues in their bodies with absolute clarity. Since his opponent wanted to disclose secrets, Zhang Xuan decided he might as well reveal even more.

"This..."Jiang Fangping stared blankly, then nodded mechanically. "That's right, but... I've never told anyone about my condition. How did you know?"

Zhang Xuan's eyebrow twitched.*Damn it, I was just trying to show off, I didn't mean to reveal so much...*

The Library of Heaven's Path could discern people's flaws, which was useful for impersonating an unknown expert. However, impersonating someone familiar was much harder, because the things one might say could be completely unknown to the person being impersonated due to their deep familiarity.

Though speechless internally, Zhang Xuan adopted a compassionate expression and sighed. "Ah, actually... I noticed it a long time ago, but I didn't say anything because I was afraid you'd worry. I've been searching for a solution all this time! Just these past two days, I finally found it. Here's the method, take a look..."

With that, he pointed a finger forward.A set of cultivation techniques instantly transmitted into Jiang Fangping's mind.

He had finished reading all the books in the Jiang family's hidden library and knew exactly what errors existed in the cultivation method Jiang Fangping practiced. Combining it with the Heaven's Path cultivation technique, a slight correction was enough to solve it; it was nothing to him.

"Th-this..."Feeling the cultivation technique transmitted into his mind, Jiang Fangping was as if struck by lightning, trembling uncontrollably.

With his discernment, he could easily see the importance of this technique. If he cultivated carefully according to it, not only would his hidden ailments be resolved, but his cultivation would also advance significantly.

Could it be... that the clan head had truly noticed it long ago and had been helping him search for a solution all this time?

If this were truly the case, such kindness would be immeasurable.

"Congratulations, Elder Fangping..."Seeing his expression, the elder next to him immediately understood and couldn't help but cup his fists in salute.

"Don't be swayed by him..."Jiang Fangyou's scalp prickled as if he had seen a ghost. He hadn't expected this person to not only disguise himself to look exactly like him, but also to immediately identify Elder Jiang Fangping's ailment and provide a solution. "I am the real one! Elder Jiang Fangcheng, you and I have known each other for over a hundred years..."

Before he could finish, Zhang Xuan, who was standing in front, looked at an old man standing before Jiang Fangping. "We've known each other for over a hundred years, Elder Jiang Fangcheng. Your Soul-Calming Art should have reached the third realm by now. However, this technique conflicts somewhat with the Soul Cleansing Art you previously cultivated, so I advise you to stop for a while. Cultivating *this* will guarantee faster progress!"

With that, he likewise pointed a finger, transmitting a thought.Not far away, Jiang Fangcheng received the transmitted cultivation method and froze on the spot, clearly utterly bewildered.

This set of techniques, inheriting the same lineage as the previous Soul Cleansing Art, was far more powerful than the Soul-Calming Art.

"Actually, I didn't just pay attention to Elders Jiang Fangping and Jiang Fangcheng," Zhang Xuan continued. "For the sake of making our family stronger, I have carefully observed every single one of you elders and know your current confusions and difficulties in cultivation..."

"Elder Jiang Fangzhen, if I'm not mistaken, are you trying to cultivate the fourth realm of the Soul Canon on your own? Your current cultivation isn't high enough yet; it's best not to force yourself, otherwise, it will do more harm than good. Have you recently felt short of breath, or a slight disconnection between your soul body and physical body?"

"Elder Jiang Fanglin, your body has been quite depleted recently. It's best not to rush into taking concubines for now, otherwise, I'm afraid your lifespan will be affected..."

"Elder Jiang Fanghu, it's true you enjoy calligraphy and painting, but you can't neglect your cultivation. Hasn't your cultivation been stagnant for a long time now..."

As he spoke, Zhang Xuan looked around, addressing each elder in turn. In a short while, all the elders fell silent, utterly dumbfounded.

What the man before them said was perfectly accurate, detailing the very problems and issues they urgently needed to resolve.

Could it be... he was truly the clan head?

Otherwise, how could he know them in such precise detail, as if he could see right through them?

Seeing all the elders fall silent, no longer speaking, Jiang Fangyou tore at his hair, strand by strand, filled with a frantic desperation.*Who the hell are you?!*Even he wasn't entirely clear on the cultivation status of the clan elders; how did this person know all of it?

And what he said was perfectly accurate, convincing everyone...*You all believe him... What am I supposed to do?**Could it be that I really have amnesia, misremembered, and am not actually Jiang Fangyou?**Then where am I? Who am I? What's my name...?*

His mind spun with dizziness. Jiang Fangyou could no longer hold back and turned to look at Jiang Feifei behind him.

"Feifei, I'm your father! You must recognize me! Quickly tell everyone that I'm the real one..."

If all the elders couldn't recognize him, his own daughter surely would!

"I..."Jiang Feifei looked utterly bewildered, having unexpectedly found herself with two fathers. "I, I..."

With two fathers appearing, she was also quite distressed, completely unsure what was happening!

"My father told me before that I had to comprehend the Soul Truth," Jiang Feifei said, biting her lip firmly. "If I couldn't, I would have to enter a marriage alliance—either marry Zhang Xuan of the Zhang family or Luo Tianya of the Luo family... If either of you can tell me what I replied to him, then that person is the real one!"
