"Uh..." Xu Lu smiled again before saying, "Forgot about that. All right, get some sleep first. Whatever it is, we can discuss it tomorrow. Haha."
Luo Bin yawned again, then headed outside.
Xu Lu followed him, only stopping once he had escorted Luo Bin to his room.
Luo Bin opened the door and went inside. As he closed it, Xu Lu was still looking at him, his smile unchanged.
Then Luo Bin walked toward the bed.
The footsteps receded into the distance. Clearly, Xu Lu had left.
Fourth Master Gray squeaked again, saying, "Little Luo, you're not tired at all. You were talking just fine. Why did you suddenly get sleepy?"
"If even that little lady Bai Xian didn't think the secret needed keeping, why not go? The Taoist didn't care, but Little Xu took it seriously. Is it something to do with feng shui?"
Luo Bin said nothing. He got into bed and lay perfectly still, raising a finger to signal Fourth Master Gray to be quiet.
Many cobwebs wound around the roof beams. Numerous wrapped cocoons hung from them, with a few translucent insect wings visible here and there.
Cold sweat, however, kept pouring off him. His back was almost soaked.
The way Xu Lu had felt to the touch was one issue, but that alone was nothing.
Perhaps Xu Lu had encountered some opportunity on Divine Firmament Mountain and consumed a rare natural treasure or miraculous pill.
The problem was that the Moon-Shaped Stone had slipped downward...
As the token identifying the Primordial Calculation Grounds Master, it was an exceptionally powerful item. The last time it had fallen from Luo Bin's body was when his life had been in danger...
Everything had seemed normal.
Yet the Moon-Shaped Stone had nearly fallen the moment Xu Lu touched him?
