The Taoyuan Village Master's incarnation did not directly answer my question, but his words seemed to openly suggest an association with Shan Liangyi's stance.
Yet, if it is merely to harvest my Power Seed, it still can't prove that the Taoyuan Village Master is Shan Liangyi. The former Water Navy Xuanwu also wanted to harvest my Power Seed to increase his own strength for future confrontations with Shan Liangyi.
Moreover, the way the Taoyuan Village Master's incarnation responded also caught my attention. He doesn't seem like a living person... Of course, given his current giant hand form, he doesn't even resemble a person, but I'm referring to his reactions. This impression of a non-conversational dialogue makes me feel like I'm speaking to a bizarrely-shaped wall.
