Seeing Cheng Shi fall silent again, Zhen Xin smiled calmly. "What else do you want to know?"
"There's too much I want to know, but none of it has anything to do with your past. I'm more interested in the History School information you have, but now isn't the time to discuss that.
I'll tell you the secrets you want to know when the trial ends. My reputation is excellent, so you can rest assured.
It's also time to get down to business. You've held them off long enough, but if this drags on, those two must have noticed something is wrong.
The Dragon King is easy enough to deal with. His reason for coming here is similar to yours.
But Long Jing is different. His obsession with a certain existence is probably a little stronger, but it doesn't matter. I have a way to keep him steady, provided I find out soon what exactly happened on Squinty Old Zhang's side."
When Cheng Shi mentioned "a certain existence," he deliberately watched Zhen Xin's reaction. She did not hide it, merely smiling casually to show that she already knew about it.
Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow and immediately realized that Zhen Xin had not come solely for the Ear of Secret Prying. She had probably come here to figure out what was going on with "the Fool's Game" as well!
"So it really exists?"
Zhen Xin did not dare ask aloud. Instead, she silently mouthed the words.
"Of course it exists." Cheng Shi likewise spoke in silence. He pointed at the stage and said earnestly, "I thought I could change history, but now it seems I was wrong. History has never changed. It may have existed once, but now... it's already dead."
One thing was one thing, and another was another.
