However he still restrained himself; reason told him, this is Senior Xuan Die, one must not offend anyone, especially not her!

He continued saying: "I have no one else to consult; the myriad heavens world is so vast, only you treat me best and will tell me those ancient secrets and the information of those powerful ones."

Little Xuan Die still had no reaction, keeping even breath, sleeping so deeply that even if heaven fell and earth split she wouldn't feel it.

guidance!

If you don't want others to know, after leaving here you can continue acting as a little girl, and I'll pretend not to know your identity."

Having said this much, Xuan Die could no longer keep up the pretense.

She slowly opened her eyes.
