"I've never heard that he liked books. When he was with me, he mostly drank and ate meat. We hit it off, and I even betrothed my youngest daughter to his son!" the Demon Emperor immediately said. My taut heart relaxed. It was best if they did not search. Once they started looking, they might really find something for the Queen Mother of the West.
However, although the Demon Emperor said that, Liu Shanhe seemed to curl the corner of his lips slightly. The Queen Mother of the West had an exceedingly sharp gaze and saw through his thoughts at a glance, signaling with her eyes for him to continue.
"I have heard that Luo Shanyang likes reading and knows a great deal. Last time, I asked him about some of the secrets of the Nine Provinces, and he explained every one of them to me—clearly, with a beginning and an end. When I asked how he knew, he said he had read extensively. That differs somewhat from what Fellow Daoist Demon Emperor said. It seems Luo Shanyang is crafty and clever, telling people whatever they want to hear, with hardly a true word in his mouth. Fellow Daoist Demon Emperor, you were fooled by him." Liu Shanhe answered without a shred of guilt. After all, once a man was gone, his tea grew cold; throwing out a few accusations to clear his own name was no great matter.
"His mother! So it really was like that! That Luo Shanyang must have swindled me!" the Demon Emperor said with a gloomy expression.
The remaining two Demon Cultivators nodded repeatedly in agreement. They all felt that Luo Shanyang was a book lover, and my heart instantly tightened. The Queen Mother of the West said, "Then search everywhere."
