That he was alive was the most important thing.
Xie Ningyuan repeated the sentence to himself several times... He thought, 'So even without my status as the Buddha Son, I can still be this important.'
He smiled gently at Lu Sangjiu and said, "Yes, I know I'm important now. You can stop repeating it."
His tone was perfectly ordinary, but the smiling way he looked at her made Lu Sangjiu feel inexplicably embarrassed.
She cleared her throat and turned away. "Mr. Gu isn't back yet. Should we go help him?"
In truth, she was asking a question she already knew the answer to. With her Divine Sense, she could naturally see what was happening with Gu Jue, but she had never revealed this ability. Thus, making a bit of awkward small talk now didn't seem strange.
At least Xie Ningyuan didn't seem to suspect. He just snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry. Your precious Mr. Gu isn't that incompetent."
The moment he finished speaking, a piercing shriek echoed through the sky.
