The Holy Decree delivered, Liu Gao left hastily with a bitter expression, not pausing for a moment.
He wanted to distance himself from Chen Yi; staying longer, he worried he might hear or see something that would displease that Killing Star.
Jiang Ziqi followed closely, pleading for forgiveness, and led the Black Armor Guard to continue patrolling Kyoto Prefecture.
Ji Xingyun also wished to leave, but earlier Liu Gao only announced Chen Yi's awarded edict, saying nothing about matters inside the Duke Jingye Mansion, which was truly inconsiderate.
Although it was clear that the Holy Emperor did not intend to hold Heroic Marquis Chen Yi accountable, at this moment, both the old Marquis of the Zhou family and Chen Ke had died, and there wasn't even anyone to lay them to rest.
For both public and private reasons, Ji Xingyun had to stay, or perhaps...
"Wang Dong!"
"Sir?" The Silver Flag Order's face lit up with joy, and he leaned in to ask, "Sir, do you have further instructions?"
