The Jade Emperor had now fully understood that Tian Peng truly knew the entire affair. His face registered shock as he asked, "Who told you this?"
"It doesn't matter who told me. What's important is that this person gave me the choice, and whether I agree or not depends solely on my word. But you have truly disappointed me."
Tian Peng was in so much pain that cold sweat poured down his face, yet he still clenched his teeth and spoke his clear and complete thoughts.
"Who is it, did Shopkeeper Chen tell you? How did he come to know?" the Jade Emperor pressed, and if he hadn't been mindful of his own status, he surely would have grabbed Tian Peng by the collar to get to the bottom of this matter.
It seemed that Shopkeeper Chen had to be dealt with— even if there might be the possibility that he was a potential Saint; he could not be allowed to remain.
Just what means had he employed to come to know of these things was still unknown.
