Xu Xiaoshou stared deeply at that "2" and laughed soundlessly.
That was practically a confession without being questioned! He had not expected this person to be so bold. Stealing the item was one thing, but he had actually lingered nearby. For all Xu Xiaoshou knew, he might not even be far from the two of them at this very moment!
But...
What method could make two people as alert as them fail to notice even the slightest thing?
Could it deceive even a Throne?
Xu Xiaoshou lowered his gaze directly to the pit in the ground.
That was where the Heavenly Pivot Mechanism Plate should have been embedded. Now, there was nothing there.
"Is there anything strange about it?"
Following his gaze, Fu Zhi looked at the pit as well.
Yet even under the scrutiny of two pairs of eyes, they still could not see anything.
Aside from sand and gravel, there was nothing.
Fu Zhi merely glanced at it before looking away. Xu Xiaoshou, however, kept staring as he spoke.
"Brother Fu, what do you think is the greatest distance in this world?"
Fu Zhi froze.
Here we go again? He looked up at the sky. "The sea of stars?"
"No."
Xu Xiaoshou denied it. "The greatest distance is when you stand before me, yet I have never paid you the slightest attention."
Fu Zhi: ???
His face turned green, and goosebumps rose all over him.
What the hell was this? Weren't they hunting someone down?
How had chasing a thief turned into you flirting? The problem was, I'm not some young girl. What use was saying this to me? Hm? No, wait.
Could this guy be into that sort of thing?
Fu Zhi immediately backed away, panic appearing in his eyes.
