Hearing Li Su speak, a slightly dazed look appeared on the old man's face. His mind had been suppressed by that evil human face for far too long—more than ten days. With Li Su's words, he quickly recalled what had happened not long ago. A deep unease and worry flashed through his eyes, though it vanished in an instant. Had one not been watching the old man closely all along, it would have been impossible to notice.
The old man swiftly calmed himself, a puzzled expression appearing on his face. "Dao Child, this old man does not know what Your Highness means."
Li Su looked at him and cut him off directly. "Playing dumb? Whatever. But I think you should remember that I fought her!"
"!" The old man's expression froze.
"Her mind was blank, like that of a real little girl. But her soul was highly abnormal—so immense it beggared belief. Even someone at Grand Unity Great Perfection could not possess such a powerful soul. If it were merely a matter of quality, that would be one thing. After all, there are countless Dao arts in this world and every sort of divine ability imaginable; there are certainly arts involving the soul. But that little girl was different. That sheer immensity could never be gained through cultivation alone."
"That was the accumulation of years, the sediment of time. Only after experiencing a 'life' so long it was beyond belief could such vastness take shape."
The old man's pupils contracted. He naturally remembered that the little girl had fought Li Su.
But he had never imagined that merely from a single exchange, Li Su had already glimpsed the greatest secret hidden within the little girl.
For a moment, it was as though a thunderbolt had exploded beneath a clear sky
