"He says he no longer has any desires besides his thirst for knowledge. Is that true?" Xue Ling shook his head and replied, "The Underworld won’t like someone so nosy. Keep him around. As long as you don’t provoke him, he’ll answer you. He’ll be quite helpful." He said this to Bai Qiuran.
"I never said you lack charm." He addressed Bai Qiuran, who smiled brightly at the topic. However, Bai Qiuran, feeling embarrassed and angry, kicked him back into the void amidst Ming Ying’s panicked cries.
Zhi Xian retorted, "The Underworld is too boring! Following someone who just goes to work every day does nothing for my thirst for knowledge!"
Bai Qiuran asked, while Xue Ling shook his head again, "The Underworld won’t like someone so nosy. Keep him around. As long as you don’t provoke him, he’s sure to answer your questions, providing you with quite a bit of help." He still didn’t know Zhi Xian well enough, but as Xue Ling couldn’t accept him, the safest option now was to keep Zhi Xian by his side. This way, he could watch him closely. Additionally, Zhi Xian could indeed provide clues to aid his foundation-building. Emotionally and logically, it was only fair to return the favor.
"After more than three thousand years, I finally see the end in sight."
"It’s rare for you to proactively summon me," Xue Ling nodded, "If you wish for me to test him for you, you need not worry."
