His answer was perfunctory, but it made sense.
True.
The Celestial Thearch's demeanor didn't suggest he knew the Heaven Emperor's whereabouts. Even those in the clouds seemed clueless, let alone him.
Lin Xue didn't dwell on it too much; she simply lowered her head in disappointment and dismissed the thought.
The Heaven Emperor felt a bit puzzled.
He understood Gu Chaoyan's desire to meet him, but Lin Xue's intent eluded him.
He had no recollection of Lin Xue in his memory; she didn't seem to exist at all. Why harbor such a fixation on him?
No matter how hard he pondered, he couldn't fathom it.
The Celestial Thearch asked out of curiosity, "Why do you want to see the Heaven Emperor?"
Lin Xue shot him a glance.
She had no intention of saying anything at all. "Why are you asking this? You're not the Heaven Emperor."
'That's me.'
The Heaven Emperor thought to himself.
