The atmosphere in the prayer room was so awkward it was suffocating. After a moment, the Moon Goddess raised a hand to adjust her clothes, then sat on the bench by the wall with elegant posture.
"Between me and the Saint King, who would you rather support?"
The Moon Goddess's question was quite direct. Whether the more than four thousand Moon Apostles stationed in the Moon God Monastery were enemies or allies would depend on Su Xiao's answer.
"Does it really matter who I support?"
Su Xiao did not answer the Moon Goddess directly. Instead, he looked toward the goddess statue inside the prayer room.
"Of course it matters. If you support me, I can tell you where the Soul Whisperer is. Crow's Eye hasn't been able to find him."
The Moon Goddess looked at Su Xiao with a beaming smile. This was precisely the situation Su Xiao wanted to see.
When he chose to reveal that he was searching for the Soul Whisperer, he had anticipated that the news would leak. He was eager to know how the old Saint King and the Moon Goddess viewed the Soul Whisperer.
Through his brief conversation with the Moon Goddess, Su Xiao reached a conclusion: the Soul Whisperer was important to both of them, but not so important that anyone who knew his whereabouts had to die.
If Su Xiao wanted to search for the Soul Whisperer through the Empire's intelligence network, it was only a matter of time before the matter was exposed.
Rather than search secretly, it was better to announce it openly. This would lower the vigilance of the old Saint King and the Moon Goddess, because if Su Xiao had some grand scheme, he would not have so easily revealed that he was searching for the Soul Whisperer.
