Bei Mingyuan looked up at her and slowly revealed a surprising fact. "Xuan Liu knows the Mind Reading Technique."
"Huh? Really? That's great!" Xin Huohuo was overjoyed, but her joy quickly turned to horror. The wide smile froze on her face.
'The Mind Reading Technique… that means he knows what people are thinking. So all those times I was fawning over Bei Mingyuan, Xuan Liu saw it all? Isn't that mortifying? What if he reported it to his master? I'd just die. I'd lose every last shred of dignity. And what's more, when two armies are facing off and one side has a mind reader, all their plans would be seen through before they could even act. What's the damn point of fighting then?'
"The Mind Reading Technique? Uh… you're kidding, right? You have to be. That stuff's just a legend…" She looked at Bei Mingyuan with a glimmer of hope, desperately wishing he would nod and admit it was a joke.
It wasn't the first time he'd lied to her with a perfectly straight face.
