"Then, take me to see King Yama. There are some things I must discuss with him." Bei Mingyuan paused and changed his tone, trying to find a way to put Xin Huohuo off for now.
Of course, he really did need to meet with King Yama. Now that more people knew about the plan to avert the apocalypse, he had to adjust it. He wasn't an extremist; it wasn't just Xin Huohuo, Black and White Impermanence, and the others who had learned a lesson from the recent mission's failure.
"Well, that's doable," Xin Huohuo said after a moment's thought. "But shouldn't we at least prepare a little? This world is under the control of the World Ender. I'm afraid he might notice something is wrong if we're not careful." Despite her words, she didn't get any closer. On the contrary, she quietly took another step back.
These small movements, of course, did not escape Bei Mingyuan's eyes, but he pretended not to notice. He just nodded seriously and said, "He won't find out."
