Fourth Elder Zhuge Zhengli's fierce and sinister brows and eyes were staring straight at the deceased Zhuge Tingran.
"She offended someone she shouldn't have, and naturally had to die. I've taken care of the matter of killing Second Elder Situ Kong as I promised you. From now on, I don't owe you anything. Look after yourself!"
With that, the disembodied voice disappeared.
"Mo Ru, you come back here!"
No matter how much Fourth Elder Zhuge Zhengli shouted in the hall, Mo Ru did not reappear.
Ji Ruyan had watched over Second Elder Situ Kong for the entire night, and it wasn't until Noon the next day that she felt signs of him stirring back to consciousness.
She hurried over to the bed and called out to him urgently, "Second Elder, Second Elder, wake up!"
"Uh..."
Second Elder Situ Kong still felt an excruciating pain in his chest, and even breathing was painful.
