The final answer from Wu Jue was silence.
He never dared to underestimate an Emperor's insight; it's very possible that any move he made would be detected by Jiang Lingxi immediately.
So, at this moment, faced with his friend's gaze, he lowered his eyes and responded with silence.
He heard the sound of Shen Yunqing turning and leaving before lifting his gaze to look over.
Outside the door, two figures stood side by side, a companionship earned through utmost desire.
He couldn't help but let out a sigh.
This challenge, Your Majesty must overcome.
It's long been predestined; if not this time, there would be a next time.
This is the price!
With the matter resolved, Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing did not leave.
Wu Jue was caught by a contingency left by Wu Hua in this underground secret laboratory before leaving Changcang Sect; now his whole body was stiff as a stone. Until his mobility could be restored, someone needed to stay in charge here.
