Even those who forced themselves to respond couldn't say anything of substance. This was a tried-and-true tactic of Luodan's.
"Then I'll begin." After a brief pause, Xia Liang focused on the beginning of Luodan's life trajectory.
Luodan was taken aback. He hadn't expected Xia Liang to agree so readily, without the slightest hint of displeasure, so he simply nodded.
Then, Xia Liang began to speak. "However, before we start, I'd like to ask you something, Mr. Luodan. I know you're skeptical of Diviners from our Dragon Country, but you didn't have to give me a false name, did you?"
Hearing this, Luodan froze. He scanned Xia Liang warily before retorting, "What are you talking about? I don't understand. I just told you my name."
Xia Liang chuckled. "Alright then. Since young Modi is unwilling to tell me his real name, I'll continue to call you Luodan."
