The Heavenly Dao paused, then gave an embarrassed chuckle. "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I guessed."
Xu Lai didn't call him out on it, simply saying, "Is that so? It's like you can read my mind."
"To be able to read Your Majesty's mind is truly my honor!" the Heavenly Dao exclaimed with delight.
Xu Lai gave the Earth Heavenly Dao a deep look. It made the latter's scalp inexplicably tingle, and he awkwardly bit into his candied hawthorn stick.
"Let's go," Xu Lai said calmly.
"Yes, yes." The Heavenly Dao nodded repeatedly, greatly relieved that The Supreme Emperor wasn't pursuing the matter. After all, he had many secrets. If someone were to dig deeper... I probably couldn't hide most of them.
"Mount Haizi is quite far. Follow me."
Shedding his usual jokey demeanor, the Heavenly Dao spoke with the utmost reverence.
