Ryusei looked at Xiao Wu, he thought about some time and said, "There aren't many ways which could determine that you were a Spirit Beast. Let's just say that I have one of the ways to see the truth of a Person. Besides, it wasn't necessary to tell them that you were a Spirit Beast in human form. You didn't really do anything against us so I don't really care about the fact that you are a Spirit Beast."
Xiao Wu didn't really understand his words but she understood that he didn't want to tell her anything relevant of the way with which he knew about her true form but she was happy that he hid it from others as she didn't know how the others would react when they find out that she was a Spirit Beast.
She then looked towards Da Ming and said in a cheerful voice, "His name is Da Ming, he is my friend since childhood. He protected me and Er Ming front the time we were young." Ryusei nodded as he heard her words and looked towards Da Ming, he looked into its eyes and saw that the Beast was looking at him with a bit of hesitation. Why he knew it, because Da Ming was looking towards Xiao Wu with furrowed eyebrows and was thinking about something.
He thought of the various scenarios for which the Beast could be hesitating 'There are two three possibilities for which the Beast may be hesitating. The first one, it may be hesitant if it wants to leave Xiao Wu with me now that it knows that I know her real identity as a 100,000-year-old Spirit Beast. The second is that he came here to investigate this heavenly phenomenon, it could that a Beast much more powerful than him, ordered him to investigate this scene as it itself is scared for this to be a trap.'
'Then this Da Ming is most likely a bait to see whether there is someone strong near me or not. If not, then that Beast would most likely come here and try to capture me or kill me. From the hesitation on his face, he must have agreed to its order but now that it saw that Xiao Wu knows me and we are friends, it is hesitating whether it should reveal anything about me or not.'
He sighed as he thought of all this and said to them in a calm voice, "You both can rest assured that I do not have any bad intention towards Xiao Wu. She is like a good friend and a sister to my friend so you don't have to worry about her."
He turned towards Da Ming and used his speed and reached near his ear and whispered to him, "I don't know anything about this lord of yours but tell him that if he goes against me, I will take everything away from him."
Da Ming was pretty astonished when he heard his whisper, he looked towards him and said in a powerful voice, "I do not care about this warning of yours and neither will the Beast god care so it is useless. But let me tell you, if something happened to Xiao Wu, you can certainly expect the attacks from two 100,000-years-old Beasts."
Ryusei revealed a cold smile on his face as he listened to his warning, he got the information that he wanted, he now knew that this Beast was here on the order of the Beast God. He now had to know more about this Beast God and he knew the perfect person.
He looked towards Xiao Wu and asked her in a curious voice, "Xiao Wu, who is this Beast God? Do you know anything about him?" Xiao Wu was confused as she listened to his words and didn't understand why he was asking about the Beast God all of a sudden.
She started thinking about the things that her mother had told her about the Beast God and started speaking, "I don't know much but I do know that the Beast God is the strongest Beast in the World. It is a Golden Eyed Black Dragon Emperor and it lives in the innermost part of this forest. That is all I know." She sounded a bit disappointed that she just knew this much about the Beast God.
But, Ryusei widened his eyes and thought 'That is all the information I need. So, this Beast God is the most powerful Beast in the world or at least the Beast living in the Star Dou Forest I believe. It is a Golden Eyed Black Dragon Emperor so I guess I will have to search for someone who has information about the Beast of this type.'
'It is impossible that we humans don't have any information regarding this Beast species. The next thing is that I need to be cautious of this Innermost part of the forest. This Beast God is clearly an intelligent beast as it was cautious of the heavenly phenomenon and expected a trap even though he was overthinking about it.'
'The next thing is that I have to make sure that the Beast God believes that there were some people with me who came here to protect me otherwise this Beast god might chase me to the ends of the continent.'
He then looked towards Da Ming and Er Ming and thought 'The only thing that can convince the Beast God that I have some helper with me is that these two go back and tell it to the Beast God. But it won't be too believable if they just go back without any injuries so perhaps, I should use my new Ability on them and injure them and also test its power.'
He looked towards Da Ming and said, "Da Ming, I want to ask you to lie to your Beast God about me. I do not want him to know anything about me as I am not strong enough to protect myself."
Da Ming looked at him with cold eyes and said, "Why should I lie to Beast God for you? If you grow strong then you will be the one who will kill us beasts? Why should I lie for someone who will kill us in the end?"
Ryusei stayed silent and then started speaking, "The truth is that I don't really have anything against the Beasts. I don't care if you kill humans as you are also doing your best to survive. I understand that notion of yours to kill the humans so I don't really care about it. But you should understand from our point of view too, tell me, if the Humans didn't have someone strong then the Humans would be at the mercy of the Beasts."
"Tell me, do you want to live in the mercy of someone else? Well, I don't and it is true for mostly everyone in this world. We are never comfortable about working under someone and are always finding reasons to oppose him. That is the reason why Beasts and Humans cannot get along as we both have the ambition to make the other submit."
"This is the exact same thing that prevents us from developing peaceful relations with each other. Just think, if the humans don't kill beasts and do not grow strong then won't the Beast be like 'I don't like the face of this human. Let's kill him, it's not like they can do anything to us.' Besides, you can already see that I haven't done anything to Xiao Wu and I am going to protect her in the future too so that should sweeten the deal as she is your childhood friend. It's not like I am telling you to go against the Beast God, I am just telling you to hide things about me or tell him that I have some strong experts protecting me."
Da Ming listened to his words and stayed silent as he felt that his words made sense, it was already known that if the Humans didn't have those 1 or 2 strong experts then the Beasts would have already killed the humans to prevent the future trouble from growing up.
He then looked at Xiao Wu and saw her giving him a pleading look, she said, "Please, Brother Da Ming, don't say anything about him. You should trust him, he knew about my real identity from the moment he saw me but he still didn't tell any one about it. I think that he is worth your trust."
It seemed as if Da Ming sighed and then looked at Ryusei, he said, "So, what did you think of? You should have thought of a plan to make the Beast God believe that there are some strong experts besides you otherwise the Beast God will definitely kill you before you can step out of this forest."
