The Blood of Youth: How Could the Moonlight Be a Liar?

At some point, a peculiar trade appeared in the martial world: the art of deception.

Qi Yanyue used to think her adoptive father was merely a failed practitioner of this trade. Why else would he always hide away in the desolate land known as Tianwaitian? Only later did she learn he was there to repay a debt of gratitude: a woman had once saved his life.

Her adoptive father often said, "Everyone in this world is a liar, whether they deceive themselves or others. If you truly want to leave no trace, you must first fool yourself."

Yanyue never took those words to heart. But after leaving Tianwaitian, she finally understood why he always said them.

"I'm just a liar. I've never truly cared about anyone. You were simply too foolish, and that's why I fooled you."
