The previous gifts from Yan Wei to Tang Xiaobai had been thoroughly enjoyed by him. This ti, with high expectations for Yan Wei, he surely wouldn't be disappointed, would he?
Looking at Tang Xiaobai's big, sparkling eyes filled with longing, the words about not having a gift stopped at his lips and were swallowed back down forcefully.
"Your godfather has already prepared your gift, Xiao Bai, do you want to take a look at the Moon? This ti, godfather will take you to godfather's place, does that count as a gift for Xiao Bai?"
Yan Wei spoke with utmost seriousness.
As soon as he said this, Tang Rao, who originally tried to pretend like he knew nothing and had no intention of eavesdropping, was also startled by Yan Wei.
"Yan Wei, you brat, you can't be serious. Are you joking with Tang Xiaobai?"
Tang Xiaobai going to the Moon, that place is even less reliable than the Divine Realm, moreover, Tang Xiaobai is Tang Rao's precious treasure. Without Tang Xiaobai, Tang Rao would feel extrely insecure.
"Dad, godfather's gifts to , and where we want to go are our freedom. Have you ever seen reject you when you go out? I didn't tell mom about your mischief outside. I've been loyal and righteous to you, and you treat like this, not wanting to go with godfather?"
What?
Hearing Tang Xiaobai's grievance, Tang Rao almost thought his ears were deceiving him.
When did he ever misbehave outside, and Tang Xiaobai even said in front of Li Shengxuan that Tang Rao was misbehaving outside, and he kept it a secret?
A two or three-year-old child, what could he possibly know? Subconsciously, Li Shengxuan chose to believe her son's words. Simply put, Tang Xiaobai's cunning skills were top-notch, even daring to outsmart Tang Rao.
"Tang Xiaobai, explain to your mom clearly when I ever misbehaved outside. I've always valued purity since being with your mom and the others. Your words clearly aim to fra !"
Even the word "fra" was used, showing how furious Tang Rao was.
"Every word of mine is true, mom. Dad is scaring ."
Tang Xiaobai jumped out of Yan Wei's arms and dashed into Li Shengxuan's embrace. This ti, he seed determined to ensure Tang Rao faced dire trouble.
"It's okay, mom is here. When your godmothers co back, let your dad explain it to them."
Li Shengxuan said with a hint of vinegar.
Her man has his eyes on other won while still eyeing the pot on the stove. There aren't that many good things in this world.
"Sheng Xuan, I really didn't misbehave outside, it's truly Tang Xiaobai's mischievous sche this ti!"
Ooops, even jumping into the Kun River wouldn't wash this off.
Tang Rao felt the more he explained, the ssier it got. In the end, he'd thrown himself into a pit.
"Mom, I have many things about dad I can tell you. Do you want to keep listening?"
Tang Xiaobai moved closer to Li Shengxuan, giving her a hearty kiss on the cheek.
"Tang Xiaobai, you just want to go to the Moon, right? Seven days, no more than seven days, you must not go to Blue Star, only stay on the Moon, understand?"
Tang Rao couldn't imagine what Tang Xiaobai might say next if he didn't relent.
"I always knew dad was the best to Xiao Bai. Thank you, dad."
For the first ti, Tang Rao saw a genuine childlike smile on Tang Xiaobai's face at his age.
Perhaps he truly restricted Tang Xiaobai's freedom too much before, making him unhappy.
"Mom, actually, dad is very dedicated to you all. A woman tried to fling herself at him, but he turned her down, and she cried sorrowfully. Everything I said earlier was just to deceive you."
Having gained the opportunity to go out, Tang Xiaobai, wanting to maintain family harmony, eventually explained to Li Shengxuan and truthfully revealed everything.
Li Shengxuan believed Tang Rao might misbehave outside but couldn't believe he'd reject outside temptation for their ho.
"Tang Xiaobai, oh Tang Xiaobai, you're even plotting against your dad now, aren't you? I've got it in my heart; we'll settle the score when you grow up."
Tang Rao gritted his teeth. Apart from using future reckoning as a threat, he had no ans to deal with Tang Xiaobai now.
Tang Xiaobai's revelations weren't just limited to this. After Tang Rao permitted him to go to the Moon, Tang Xiaobai even delivered a bombshell: "Dad, here's a gift for you: the person who secretly loves you will commit suicide tonight in the room she prepared for you. Whether she survives depends on you."
Tang Xiaobai even knew about Zhang Kexin's room preparations for Tang Rao. Thus, his prophecy must be true.
Zhang Kexin, silly woman, if you can't be together, then don't. Why think of suicide?
"Which room, can you predict that?"
Tang Rao felt overwheld. Love that can't happen, why force it? Only the weak would choose suicide. Zhang Kexin and Wen Jinjin were both so bubbly, akin to You Xiaoxiao in character. Had Tang Xiaobai not said Zhang Kexin would commit suicide, Tang Rao wouldn't have believed she'd head in that direction.
"I don't know either."
Tang Xiaobai wasn't all-knowing. He could see the past, foresee the future, but didn't have a Heavenly Eye; how could he know such details?
"Xiao Bai, do you know where your Aunt Jin Jin went? As a prophet, are you aware of any future dangers facing her?"
Tang Rao, preoccupied with finding Wen Jinjin, overlooked the fact they already had a prophet at ho. Where Wen Jinjin went, any dangers she faced, Tang Xiaobai surely knew.
Everyone pinned their hopes on Tang Xiaobai, but he paid no heed to Tang Rao's words.
"I can't reveal where Aunt Jin Jin went. She's safe now and in the future."
What else could Tang Xiaobai do? Indeed he was a prophet, but the prophet's biggest flaw was being bound by the Heavenly Dao. The Dao forbids divulging prophecies; doing so would subject Tang Xiaobai to Heavenly punishnt, varying in severity. The issue about Aunt Jin Jin might even make him vanish completely.
"Alright, I understand."
Tang Rao didn't pressure Tang Xiaobai further. As long as Wen Jinjin was safe where she was and doing well, Tang Rao was content.
"Dad, rest assured, just increase your strength a bit more, and you'll et godmother soon."
This was the most Tang Xiaobai could say within his limits. Even so, thunder was heard outside.
"Xiao Bai, your dad will strive hard."
Thunder continued outside, and Tang Xiaobai resisted the urge to speak more until the thunder and clouds gradually dissipated.
"Yan Wei, are you really going to take my son away? Making promises so easily, aren't you worried my son will take your daughter to the Divine Realm?"
Tang Rao and Yan Wei, still feeling somber over Tang Xiaobai's departure, had stepped outside.
