Lianshan Xin sensed something was wrong.
Shui Shui's Heavenly Eye Divine Ability had upgraded. Had the Flower-Seeking Scholar's Mind-Reading Ability upgraded too?
"My son, make a peep."
Maitreya was the authority on this.
Unfortunately, Maitreya did not make a single peep.
But from Maitreya's reaction, Lianshan Xin realized his guess was very likely true.
After all, Maitreya definitely wanted to watch him suffer now. The less he knew, the better.
