"Did Li Jing entrust the Heavenly Register to you of his own free will?" Zhen Yuanzi suddenly changed tack and asked.
"Yes..." Shen Luo hesitated.
Back then, he had only passed Li Jing's test by relying on the Jade Pillow's power to let him revive again and again. He was not entirely sure whether that counted as Li Jing acting of his own free will.
The moment he answered, ripples surged across the mirror beneath him, considerably larger than before.
At this, the way everyone looked at Shen Luo subtly changed.
Among the crowd, Nezha's expression grew somewhat grave as well.
If Shen Luo had truly received the Exquisite Pagoda as part of Li Jing's entrustment, he would have no objections. If not, however, his father's belongings could never be allowed to fall into the hands of some petty villain.
"Is the Heavenly Register still inside you?" Zhen Yuanzi asked again.
"Yes."
This time, Shen Luo did not hesitate, and the mirror remained as calm as before.
"Where were you when Wuzhuang Temple was attacked?" the Bull Demon King suddenly interjected.
"I went into seclusion at Five-Finger Mountain to attempt a breakthrough to the Taiyi Realm," Shen Luo said after a moment's thought.
As his words fell, ripples stirred across the mirror beneath him again, though they were still slight.
As far as this time and space were concerned, he had indeed gone into seclusion.
"Then why did you disappear without a trace when Accumulated Thunder Mountain was attacked?" The Bull Demon King stepped closer and pressed him.
"I..."
Shen Luo was momentarily at a loss for words. He did not know how to answer this question. At that time, he had traveled back to his own era and had not been in this time and space at all.
