Liang's eyes flickered with amusement as he looked at the now-conscious Dong Rui.
"Regret?" He shook his head, his voice laced with nonchalance. "I've never been one to dwell on such things."
"I see," Dong Rui murmured under her breath, then fixed him with an expression that was part curiosity, part suspicion. "Maybe you don't regret, but you're rarely truthful either."
"Oh?" Liang raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence.
"I already know who you really are," Dong Rui said, her tone tinged with triumph. She chuckled softly, almost mockingly. "Liang Yifei from Spiritdrift World, correct?"
At this revelation, Liang's expression didn't falter; instead, his lips curved into a faint smile. If the Dong Clan had decided to ally with him, they would undoubtedly have done their homework. He wasn't surprised his true identity had come to light.
"You've been lying to me from the start, haven't you?" Her voice remained calm, yet there was an edge of anger beneath its surface.
