Baiyi had just done what they least expected him to do. Although they wanted more information, no one would have expected him to be so casual with the old book, which may or may not be a treasure which countless people had thrown their lives away in an attempt to obtain. Was he not worried that someone would claim it from him there and then?
"It does not matter what I say, right? So maybe you people will be more convinced by your own eyes," Baiyi said, placidly — a stark contrast to the intense emotional shock his action had caused Great Sage Tom.
It only took a short while for the stunned man to recover his composure, and a glint of excitement appeared in his eyes, closely followed by surprise, confusion, and greed. However, he said nothing, and instead, he sat down and wrapped his psychic energy around the book.
