Someone who didn’t understand enough about the nuances of human nature and godly nature wouldn’t be able to say something as marvelous and imaginative as Erniu had just said.

In fact, it actually interrupted Xu Qing’s train of thought. Now that his human nature had returned, he was no longer as coldly rational as he had been before. Therefore, Erniu’s words struck him to the core.

After all… an ordinary person would never consider such a possibility. Regardless of how one took the empress’ words, they seemed attentive and full of concern. They seemed to be a reminder that Xu Qing and Erniu didn’t need to do anything risky to further the war effort, and instead, should focus more deeply on cultivation. But Erniu clearly didn’t take hēr words at face value.

All of a sudden, Xu Qing felt compelled to give a bit of a warning. “Eldest Brother, lower your voice… the empress might not have really left yet.”

Looking stunned, Erniu scanned the surroundings. After laughing heartily, he loudly said, “I’m just joking around! Um… so, Feng Lintao’s soul has a legacy in it, eh? Allow me to check and see exactly what legacy it is!”
