"I have never been to the mining area," Ju Mang said.
Tang Xian was not surprised. The education that several children of the Order had received since childhood was actually sowhat similar to that of Li Xiaoyu. They all preferred highly modernized urban environnts.
"Only Xi He had been there a few tis. When the test subjects couldn't catch so of the higher-level beasts, he would personally go to capture them. Moreover, it was Xi He and I who first solved the issue with the Burning Talent. It would have been better if he hadn't died. Although I have mastered the technology, it would have been easier if he was around."
One researched plants and the human brain, the other genetic evolution on a human level. Although Xi He and Ju Mang had completely different personalities, driven by their dedication to breaking through technology, Ju Mang really hoped that Xi He could have lived.
As she thought this, she suddenly said:
"Actually, you didn't really lose."
"What do you an?" Tang Xian didn't understand.
Ju Mang said seriously:
"Think about it. The confrontation with us, the children of the Order, counts as your first real clash with the forces of Order, right?"
"Yes."
"Although it seems like you lost to the Angel Envoy, the very existence of the Angel Envoy is a secret not even we knew about.
And of the seven children of the Order, now only Constantine remains serving the Order's camp.
The storm caused by the Judgnt Knight will certainly be suppressed, but people have planted a seed of doubt in their hearts. I'm not very concerned about the matters within the Pyramid, but I know about the person nad Song Que; when Xi He was watching him, he even talked to about it.
So I also indirectly learned about so matters related to Song Que. Your subconscious intent to get close to Song Que, it was all preditated, wasn't it?"
Ju Mang looked at Tang Xian. Tang Xian didn't deny it.
At the ball, before his mory had returned, Tang Xian had felt an unconscious desire to get close to Song Que.
Now that he thought about it, everything was just a form of self-suggestion left before his mory had vanished.
But he corrected his wording:
"Preditation doesn't conflict with sincerity."
"If you say there's no conflict, then there's no conflict," Ju Mang said. "In any case, Song Que is a fine piece on the chessboard, and you must have cultivated him. His prestige in the Pyramid World is trendous. By having him reveal the evil secrets of the Judgnt Knight, although still outrageous, many will still harbor doubts.
And doubt is one of the driving forces of human progress. As long as a seed of doubt is planted, no one knows what might happen next.
You said it yourself, never underestimate humanity itself. When they co to their senses, they can unleash unimaginable power."
Ju Mang paused and said:
"In this confrontation, except for not defeating your opponent in terms of combat, you can count the other aspects as rich winnings."
Tang Xian thought to himself that if he analyzed the battle in this way, he seed to have gotten quite a good deal out of it.
He didn't agree with this viewpoint, but he couldn't be bothered to argue.
Their conversation ca to an abrupt end again, but neither of them felt awkward. Ju Mang continued eating, her gaze drifting into the distance.
The slls around Tang Xian grew clearer with each breath, and as his satiety increased, his radar-like sense of sll slowly started to function again.
He carefully sensed the scents around him, trying to figure out where the deer had gone.
Ju Mang, who always possessed strong observational skills, remarked:
"It's strange. The essence of life in you before and after you eat is completely different. Is this also an ability from the Eden bloodline?"
Tang Xian thought that Ju Mang, soone who could manipulate plants, could probably sense an abstract value known as the essence of life.
He nodded. The taste for marrow was an ability of the gluttonous, but having such an ability was also thanks to the Eden bloodline.
"Now I want to dissect not only your brain but also your body," Ju Mang said candidly.
Tang Xian rolled his eyes at Ju Mang without much enthusiasm and said:
"If the deer doesn't co back after the sun sets, we'll head for Baichuan City."
"I don't absorb food as freakishly as you do. I'm very weak right now and can't walk far. You'll have to carry ," Ju Mang said, her tone completely forthright and without any ulterior motive.
After pondering for a mont, Tang Xian nodded and agreed:
"Alright."
Once more, the two fell into a silent understanding. During the years that Ju Mang had served as a child of the Order, Tang Xian believed she must know a lot of explosive information, but there would be ti for that later. Right now, he was more concerned about where Bai Shuang had gone.
Having appeared in a flash from inside the Pyramid, rescuing him and Ju Mang with a fleeting glimpse, Tang Xian wholeheartedly believed the deer ought to reveal sothing.
But now his confidence waned. It seed that the mystical white deer had truly rescued soone on a whim and then vanished after showing off?
He felt uneasy. How exactly had Bai Shuang known he was in danger?
While mired in a slight anxiety, Tang Xian and Ju Mang spent most of the ti in silence, occasionally exchanging a few words.
Just when Tang Xian had assud the deer had indeed vanished after its spontaneous rescue and was about to set off for Baichuan—Bai Shuang appeared.
Without any warning, quietly materializing in front of Tang Xian.
Ju Mang marveled at the structure of the Soul Crystal which granted creatures all sorts of abilities—if there were gods in the world, the Soul Crystal would definitely be their most outstanding creation.
And the ability of the white deer was the most astonishing, as if wholly unbound by space.
As evening approached, they finally saw the mysterious white deer. Tang Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and his thoughts began to flow more freely.
"I was really worried that you wouldn't co," he said.
