"Lord Dan Kun has arrived."
The personnel within the hollow tree greeted the man in the gray robe.
"Hmm."
The gray-robed man, their leader, sounded somewhat gloomy, as if he wasn't in a good mood. Seeing him like this, the others lost interest in continuing the conversation.
As Dan Kun walked deeper into the hollow tree, his mind lingered on Wu Liji's resoluteness.
No matter what, Wu Liji had done what she ought to have done. As a princess, she had gone as far as she could, and he had nothing more to say. I hope she will be safe. Her status as a princess should be a layer of protection, after all.
Dan Kun had some affection for Wu Liji, but their different social statuses, coupled with the age gap, had always kept him from speaking up. They were over a decade apart in age, and Wu Liji was a princess. Even if he confessed his feelings, it was unlikely that anything could come of it between them.
