"When I contacted you, the Tang of the East has just undergone a great change. Emperor Qi died and Emperor Yun disappeared without a trace, leaving only you and Emperor Xiao. Internally, the Xia Clan was suffering hardship. Externally, the three main countries were suppressing the kingdom. The kingdom was already in jeopardy but coupled with the fact that you had been harboring wild ambitions all along, you didn't reject my offer," the old soothsayer said with a laugh.
"Of course, I needed to leave some of my weaknesses in your hands to gain your full trust. That was why I allowed you to plant restriction in me!"
"In the beginning, your restriction impacted me severely when I was still weak. It was to the point that I didn't dare to go against your orders out of fear that you'd kill me in a moment of unhappiness. When Emperor Xiao had a fallout with you after noticing you were stealing the luck of the Tang Kingdom, I obeyed your order to deal with him!"
