The Little One-eyed Treasure thought about it and realized that what this human said was right. These people were not important to him at all, so why should he care about them? It would be better to think about how to continue complaining when the Merciful Mother returns, so she can understand his resolute will.
With this thought, the imposing manner he had when questioning the Black Earl vanished instantly. The water surface that was rippling with gentle waves returned to calmness.
Seeing this scene, everyone was a bit speechless. As expected, he was just a little kid, changing moods so quickly.
Dox continued with a cheerful smile, "But we are not important, while you are very important. You agree with this, right?"
The Little One-eyed Treasure snorted proudly, "Of course."
"So, you should shout out your name loudly, and let everyone present know."
The Little One-eyed Treasure was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay!"
"Are you the Little One-eyed Treasure?"
The Little One-eyed Treasure shouted loudly this time, "That’s right, I am the Little One-eyed Treasure!"
"Are you the Little One-eyed Treasure, most loved by You Nu?"
The Little One-eyed Treasure’s voice grew even louder, "Of course, I am my mother’s most beloved!"
"Are you the Little One-eyed Treasure who gave the Wise Sovereign the pseudonym ’Blue Fatty’?"
The Little One-eyed Treasure didn’t suspect anything and continued shouting, "Yes! I’m the one who gave the Sovereign the... Blue Fatty..."
Halfway through his words, the Little One-eyed Treasure suddenly realized something, and his voice grew quieter until it disappeared completely.
When the Little One-eyed Treasure’s voice vanished, the air at the scene became somewhat tense, and the surroundings were so quiet that you could almost hear everyone’s breathing.
The Little One-eyed Treasure stealthily glanced in the direction of the Wise Sovereign.
He saw the Wise Sovereign looking at him coldly, and the Little One-eyed Treasure’s composure broke instantly, "Sovereign Sir, it’s not me, it’s, it’s..."
The Little One-eyed Treasure’s nostrils flared, looking all aggrieved.
The Wise Sovereign: "Shut up, I’ll deal with you later. Also, you’re not allowed to cry or run. You can leave only when I say so."
After he finished speaking, the Wise Sovereign raised his gaze and looked at Dox.
There was no question that Dox brought this matter up on purpose.
Previously, Dox had noticed that the Wise Sovereign cared a lot about his pseudonym, explaining it to them intentionally or unintentionally. Now, Dox had torn open this old wound again, and naturally, the Wise Sovereign was a bit annoyed.
However, Dox looked nonchalant, and facing the Wise Sovereign’s cold expression, he just used an exaggerated tone to "talk to himself", "So the Sovereign’s pseudonym really was given by the Little One-eyed Treasure!"
Upon hearing Dox’s words, the Wise Sovereign was no longer just annoyed but felt stifled with anger.
The Wise Sovereign had "casually" explained many times before, just to tell them: the pseudonym ’Blue Fatty’ wasn’t chosen by me, but was the result of the Little One-eyed Treasure’s ’good deed’.
However, the Wise Sovereign knew he couldn’t just say it without proof, so he had to pretend not to care.
Now, Dox’s words, from another angle, were practically vindicating the Wise Sovereign. Still... why did the Wise Sovereign feel even more repressed rather than pleased?
The reason lay in Dox’s attitude.
Dox clearly believed what the Wise Sovereign said, yet he just had to bring up the matter in front of Little Treasure.
Under the pretext of vindicating, it was actually intentional.
And the Wise Sovereign couldn’t get angry because Dox’s intent was blatant, but the outcome indeed gave him some vindication, which left him with no choice but to swallow his anger.
Moreover, if the Wise Sovereign, who had previously acted indifferent, showed that he cared now, wouldn’t that ruin the act?
The Wise Sovereign closed his eyes, gently exhaled, and by the time he opened them again, he was calm, as if the previous incident had never occurred.
"The Little One-eyed Treasure is much loved by You Nu, and therefore, You Nu never shies away from its questions," the Wise Sovereign spoke calmly, "And I’ve mentioned before, You Nu is highly favored by the Goddess, frequently making visits through the Mirror to see the Goddess. Although its real body hasn’t entered the Qingkong Poetry Room, it has seen the inside through reflections."
"Once, out of curiosity, Little Treasure asked You Nu about the Qingkong Poetry Room, and You Nu did not keep any secrets, informing him of the situation. So if you have any questions, you can direct them to him."
Black Earl: "Then why not ask you directly?"
Wise Sovereign: "There’s an agreement between me and her not to inquire about the internal affairs of the Qingkong Poetry Room, even if it’s learned from Little Treasure. So I genuinely don’t know what Little Treasure learned from You Nu."
After a pause, the Wise Sovereign continued, "Therefore, when you ask Little Treasure later, I will also actively step aside. After the questioning, I will not ask you about what Little Treasure talked with you, and you shouldn’t ask me if you have doubts."
The Wise Sovereign had an agreement with Adanis, but Angel and the others were not bound by it, so they could learn through Little Treasure, while the Wise Sovereign could not.
This was also why the Wise Sovereign brought Little Treasure here deliberately.
After speaking, the Wise Sovereign glanced at Little Treasure, "These people will ask you questions later related to the inside of the Qingkong Poetry Room, and I hope you will answer truthfully. If they raise questions unrelated to the Qingkong Poetry Room, you may ask Second Treasure, and if Second Treasure agrees you answer, you may do so."
"Second Treasure?" Upon hearing the Wise Sovereign, the crowd questioned in confusion, "Is the Little One-eyed Second Treasure also here?"
The Wise Sovereign shook his head, "Second Treasure isn’t here. But Little Treasure has his own way to contact Second Treasure."
This was actually a form of special ability belonging to Little Treasure.
He could contact Big Treasure and Second Treasure in real time, and because of this ability, Little Treasure loved to bother his two brothers whenever he could.
The Big One-eyed Treasure doted on Little Treasure, almost to the point of spoiling, so when Little Treasure contacted him, he would definitely respond. Little Treasure also enjoyed sticking to Big Treasure, and when Angel and the others first saw the doghole in the wall, it was actually a result of Big Treasure and Little Treasure overlapping, not just Big Treasure alone.
Second Treasure also cared for Little Treasure, but his affection was more like that of a strict father. Second Treasure didn’t fall for Little Treasure’s charm and mostly engaged in relentless education.
Faced with Little Treasure’s antics, Second Treasure would response with selective rationality.
Because of this, Little Treasure often went to You Nu to complain about Second Treasure. And the reasons for the complaints were almost always the same: Second Treasure ignores him, Second Treasure is mean to him, Second Treasure doesn’t play with him, and so on.
Before the Wise Sovereign brought Little Treasure to the hall, Little Treasure was actually still in the midst of complaining...
