Chapter 163.2 Caring for the Lonely Old Man (2/2)
The Demon Sovereign sensed the tooth for some time.
"Piak!"
He closed the jade box with eyes fixed upon Wang Ke as he took a few deep breaths.
"Where did you get this?" the Demon Sovereign asked gravely.
"Demon Sovereign, that senior personally gave it to me. He trusts me, so he helped me conceal my demonic Qi. He also told me to personally hand this item to his son!" Wang Ke answered.
"Impossible. There's no way you could meet him." the Demon Sovereign said.
"Uhh, it was just luck. I really met him!" Wang Ke smiled helplessly.
The Demon Sovereign was silent for a moment.
"Demon Sovereign," Wang Ke asked solemnly, "Could you give me back the jade box, please? I did promise that senior that I would hand this to his son in person!"
The tooth belonged to that skeleton monster suppressed under the Heavenly Wolf Sect's spiritual mountain. He instructed Wang Ke to hand it to the Sacred Child.
Of course, Wang Ke didn't ask the Demon Sovereign to do him the favor and pass it to the Sacred Child in his stead. How could he let another person claim the credit that belonged to him? There could be another reward if he completed the task by himself.
After a moment of silence, the Demon Sovereign handed the box back to Wang Ke.
"Demon Sovereign, what is that thing? Who are you talking about?" Mo Sanshan was confused.
Wang Ke shot Mo Sanshan a stare, "Mo Sanshan, mind your own business, this doesn’t concern you; stop trying to pry into this. This was given by the senior who concealed my essence Qi. Why? Previously I withstood She Tianba's hundred palm strikes and broke through because of the essence energy injected into my body by that senior."
"Bullsh*t. Which demonic senior do you know? How come I'm not aware of this? Say! Who is it?" Mo Sanshan was still in denial.
"Your rank is too low; you’re not qualified to know!" Wang Ke rejected it bluntly.
"What did you say?" Mo Sanshan raged.
Damn you. You are just a small Branch Lord! How dare you talk about ranks with me?
"That's enough. Wang Ke is right; his explanation makes sense if it's him!" said the Demon Sovereign.
Mo Sanshan was shocked. What do you mean? Wang Ke passed the test just like that? Why? Why! I prepared so much evidence against him, and it’s all useless now?
Wang Ke quietly heaved a sigh of relief. That was dangerous, but I passed the test!
"Thank you, Demon Sovereign, for clearing my good name!" Wang Ke said seriously.
The Demon Sovereign looked at Wang Ke and asked, "How is he now?"
Mo Sanshan's face blackened. Which demonic senior is it? How come I know nothing about it? Stop talking in riddles!
"Hmm, other than being trapped somewhere, he's good. It's just that he lives alone and is quite lonely!" Wang Ke answered.
Mo Sanshan looked toward Wang Ke in confusion? What do you mean? That demonic senior is a lonely old man?
"Oh?" The Demon Sovereign was a little puzzled.
Wang Ke continued, "But please rest assured, Demon Sovereign. I found him some company to lessen his loneliness; they play Mahjong and chat every day, so I think he's living an OK life for now! He shouldn't be as empty and lonely as last time!" Wang Ke answered.
Mo Sanshan looked at Wang Ke in confusion. What do you mean? You found some partners for that demonic senior? To play Mahjong with him? Why does it sound like you’re showing tender love and care for a lonely old man? Didn't you say that person is a senior from the demonic sect?
"That's good!" The Demon Sovereign nodded.
Wang Ke could sense the murderous aura weighing on his shoulders dissipate. The Demon Sovereign finally acknowledged his innocence. Thank goodness!
"Demon Sovereign, he’s just bluffing! Wang Ke is filled with lies!" Mo Sanshan pleaded anxiously.
"That's enough. What Wang Ke showed me is genuine! The item has an embedded voice message. I've sensed it with my spell, and it is enough to prove Wang Ke's innocence!" said their leader.
Mo Sanshan: ".....................!"
Why? What voice is recorded in that item? Tell me! I also want to know!
Unfortunately, the Demon Sovereign and Wang Ke were speaking in riddles; no one was willing to make things clear, which was utterly frustrating for Mo Sanshan.
But Wang Ke was fine with that. As long as the Demon Sovereign thinks I'm innocent, I really don't care what others think about me!

"Thank you, Demon Sovereign, for proving my innocence!" Wang Ke answered courteously.
Mo Sanshan had an annoyed look.
"Demon Sovereign, since I'm innocent, that can only mean that the one attacking me is suspicious! Please be the judge, Demon Sovereign!" Wang Ke said respectfully.
"Wang Ke, who slandered you?" Mo Sanshan asked furiously.
What are you trying to hint at, huh? Stop beating around the bush. Aren't you going to name the person already? Who doesn't know that you’re talking about me?"
"Oh? You think that Mo Sanshan is suspicious?" the Demon Sovereign asked calmly.
Wang Ke replied passionately, "Of course! Demon Sovereign, Mo Sanshan is suspicious for sure. I'm pretty sure he's a fake spy!"
"Then tell me. Why is he suspicious?" his superior asked.
Mo Sanshan looked frustrated. Demon Sovereign, what do you mean by this?
On the other hand, Wang Ke's eyes were glowing. Demon Sovereign is giving me permission to take out Mo Sanshan's dirty laundry? Nice! I won’t hold anything back! Mo Sanshan, you geezer! How dare you accuse me! Take this!
