The Divine Realm, Core Council Hall.
Tang San was handling official business with his head lowered when a pink figure hugged him from behind.
"Third Brother."
The newcomer was none other than Tang San's wife, Xiao Wu.
"All right, Xiao Wu, stop acting spoiled. I'm handling official business."
Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu as he spoke. His plans were at a critical stage right now; an unexpected mishap at this point would be bad.
"No, Third Brother, I'm so bored right now. And who knows where that child Xiao Qi has run off to play? I've looked all over the Divine Realm and can't find her anywhere."
"Uh... if the child likes playing, just let her enjoy herself. Everyone in the Divine Realm welcomes Xiao Qi anyway. No matter how much trouble she makes, nothing will happen."
Tang San checked Xiao Qi's soul fragment in his Sea of Consciousness and spoke with a slightly guilty conscience.
"But I'm just worried about her. I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling, as though someone means her harm."
Tang San felt even guiltier. He had better soothe Xiao Wu a little. If she discovered that Xiao Qi had been sent down to the lower realm, there would be serious trouble.
"Don't worry. This is the Divine Realm. With a God King like me here, who would dare hurt Xiao Qi? But since you've said so, let me try sensing it too."
Tang San put on a bit of an act.
"Hahaha, it's fine, nothing serious. I foresaw that Xiao Qi's setback should come from someone you know."
"It must be because Xiao Qi is always making too much trouble. Perhaps she upset one of her First-Level God uncles and got disciplined."
"It's our fault for spoiling her too much.
