Seeing Jiangli's sly smile, Judge Cui had a distinct feeling that he had said the wrong thing or made a mistake.
A sense of foreboding suddenly enveloped his heart.
With a forced smile, Judge Cui braced himself and asked, "My lord, please speak first. I, I might not be able to help..."
Jiangli patted his shoulder, her smile charming, "No worries, you definitely can be of help, old Cui. You have to believe in yourself. The favor I'm asking for isn't anything major. I just want to borrow something from you."
By now, Judge Cui would have been a fool to take Jiangli's words at face value.
He asked warily, "What thing?"
Jiangli chuckled, "I just want to take a look at your Book of Life and Death."
The Book of Life and Death could reveal the past, present, and future of every living being in the world.
She wanted to use the Book of Life and Death to investigate Xia Xin's origins.
