Daodao was conscious, so of course it had a mind.
After hearing this, Xiao Ba was not at all relieved of its confusion. Instead, it said with a hint of frustration, "Xiao Ba is conscious too, but it seems like it doesn't have a brain."
Daodao's true form was a vine, which at this point was so frustrated by Xiao Ba that it almost knotted itself.
Since it couldn't win the argument, it was time to call for reinforcements.
"Master!"
"I know, I know," Nian Shutong, who had been enjoying the spectacle, had no choice but to join in and explain to the two little ones, "You both have minds, just not the structure of a brain per se, or to put it in interstellar terms, you two have evolved."
Initially, Daodao wasn't very pleased with Nian Shutong's explanation, but after hearing the rest, it grudgingly accepted it.
Nian Shutong blocked Daodao and Xiao Ba from prying any further, also feeling that it was no easy feat.
Outside, she had to break up fights.
