Hmm?
The electronic voice in his mind made Xiao Ming's gaze freeze, and a hint of delight rose in his heart.
His path of growth had been inseparably linked to the Life Simulator. Although it had become less helpful as his cultivation rose, its usefulness could not be denied.
Now that it had upgraded and reloaded, it was naturally something worth celebrating. The 2.0 version of the Life Simulator was surely even more useful.
Of course, Xiao Ming did not get carried away and forget the matter at hand.
Suppressing his surging emotions, he first told the Simulator to stop chiming in his mind, then looked at Miss Jing and spoke.
"Of course. I know the issue you mentioned, but I still have to ask around for clues. It's fine if you don't know."
"You know that much is enough. Tell me the names of those people, and let me see whether I have heard any news of them." Miss Jing tucked a lock of dark hair behind her ear.
"I have three companions. They are known as the Mysterious Emperor Xiao Xuan, the Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, and Di Dan."
"Are those the names of Master's companions? I've never heard Master mention them before."
As Xiao Ming spoke, Qing Tan blinked curiously behind him.
"Your companions all have 'Emperor' in their titles. Don't tell me you have one as well?" Miss Jing asked curiously after hearing those names.
"My master is known as the Heavenly Emperor. Impressive, isn't it?" Qing Tan, who had been muttering to herself nearby, immediately lifted her head and declared proudly.
Mu Feng and the others beside her became solemn with respect. That title alone sounded anything but ordinary.
"It certainly is impressive!"
Miss Jing nodded as well. She thought of the Nine Ancient Emperors.
