Bai Mansheng nodded slightly. He did not pursue the matter further. When no new stories were forthcoming, Bai Mansheng figured it out on his own.
After all, those stories were still quite interesting, or at least some parts were interesting, though the endings were not always satisfactory.
But often times, that's just the way stories are, having presented their most interesting parts, perhaps at that point they were already complete.
Just like some women in novels, who forever live in the readers' memories as young women.
The stories do not record their aging, but to age is to die.
When Tang Xian saw Bai Mansheng's expression had eased a lot, he said,
"I should be going. After I tidy up a bit on the Human World side, I will invite you to visit."
"Good, I'll be waiting for you."
Then Bai Mansheng added another line,
"Actually, without Xu Xian or without Tang Xian, it's not a problem, being deceived by you once or twice is quite interesting, but don't keep deceiving me."
