Song Shuhang guessed that the hidden map Senior White of the Present World had entered, thanks to his heaven-defying luck, was the Secret Realm Small World left behind by Heavenly Dao White all those years ago.
In other words, it was the thing the Stone Stele had been suppressing all along.
Also, Song Shuhang recalled something Senior White Two and Senior White had mentioned when exchanging information: Heavenly Dao White had apparently once said he would leave Senior White Two a younger sister.
"So the truth is, Senior White went in, and Little Sister White will come out," Song Shuhang quipped.
The Stone Stele said, "What?"
"Nothing, just a joke. I was talking nonsense." Song Shuhang's survival instinct suddenly kicked in. He forcibly suppressed the speculation stirring in his mind and nailed it down in the depths of his heart.
Some thoughts could be enjoyed alone in the privacy of one's heart, but absolutely must not be spoken aloud and shared with others.
Otherwise, they could get you killed.
The Stone Stele said, "..."
"So, because you have something to suppress, you can't leave this place, right?" Song Shuhang asked for confirmation.
He was going through the motions to confirm the Stone Stele's answer.
That way, he could report back to Senior White Two.
The Stone Stele replied, "Yes. Until my mission is over, I can't go back with you."
"Then I'll cast a spell in a moment and stuff you back underground. Afterward, I'll relay your situation to Senior White Two," Song Shuhang replied.
"White Rabbit? Who's White Rabbit?" The Stone Stele froze for a moment.
"No, you misheard. I wasn't talking about White Rabbit," Song Shuhang said solemnly. "I was talking about Senior White of the Nine Netherworld, White Sovereign."
"Oh, Black White," the Stone Stele replied.
