Su Xiao shut off the footage on the tablet. He had no interest in watching Moon Goddess bathe the whole time.
The capital of the Empire looked peaceful on the surface, but undercurrents were surging. Eagle Marquis's death had temporarily halted the clash between the Old Saint King and Moon Goddess. The two of them had to deal with the legacy he left behind, including military power.
Su Xiao first needed to determine where Moon Goddess had hidden the Will Rune Stone. As long as he knew its location, Bubu Wang had a good chance of stealing it.
Having Bubu Wang search for it on his own inside the Moon Shrine was unrealistic. The place was not only enormous but also heavily guarded.
Su Xiao quickly came up with a plan. It went roughly as follows:
First, he had to make Moon Goddess feel that the Will Rune Stone had been stolen. That way, she would either go check personally or send someone to investigate. Bubu Wang could then follow closely behind and learn the stone's location.
It was a simple plan, but how to carry it out would depend on Bubu Wang's performance.
With Moon Goddess's terrifying intelligence, she would never believe it if someone merely told her that the Will Rune Stone had been stolen, and she would not go check, thereby exposing its location.
He had to make Moon Goddess feel that the Will Rune Stone had been stolen herself. That was the key point. As for how to do it, the answer was equally simple.
Bubu Wang needed to steal something extremely important to Moon Goddess. Once an important item went missing and Moon Goddess could not find any clues, she would inevitably grow suspicious.
If that still did not work, Bubu Wang would keep stealing
