The old ghost officer turned back, his gaze falling on the Book of Life and Death in Shen Mu's hands. He sighed. "You have learned his true identity, and he has learned yours. What you hold is the Book of Life and Death of the Heavenly Court; treasures of its kind are few, and he will soon trace it back to you. You... take care of yourself."
Shen Mu was stunned, and only then did he understand where he had given himself away.
