"Trust me,"
the old man said sincerely, holding the Omniscient Token, as he spoke to Xiang Mantang.
Xiang Mantang's gaze flickered indecisively, her train of thought interrupted, her face immediately grew cold, and she said sternly, "Since you're a person 'Omniscient', surely there's no reason for you not to be aware of my identity. All that you've just told me; are you playing me?!"
Xiang Mantang was referring to the old man's jade-character divination and the guidance he provided for her to go to Babylon in search of the Garden of Eden.
"No, I did not play you," the old man shook his head. "I am aware of your identity, but my recent divination was not done to lead you on using Dragon King's information. The results are indeed as such. The subsequent calculation that this trip would be extremely dangerous is also true. Otherwise, I would not have revealed my identity to get you to trust me."
