A Secret Conversation in the Star Luo Imperial Palace, Departure for the White Tiger Duke's Mansion (Happy New Year)

"I understand. Jiu Jiu, stay behind. You may all return and cultivate diligently. Don't overthink it. You are all the Empire's finest talents. I look forward to seeing you bring glory to our nation."

However, Xu Jiujiu, who stood less than a step away from him, clearly saw the anger that appeared on Xu Jiawei's handsome face before vanishing in an instant. His lips also pressed together uneasily several times.

Familiar with Xu Jiawei's habits, Xu Jiujiu immediately understood. Her brother was forcibly suppressing his rage.

"Yes. We thank Your Majesty."

The five of them bowed to Xu Jiawei and respectfully left the palace.

The vast palace now held only Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu. All the palace attendants had been dismissed beforehand, leaving the atmosphere in an eerie calm.

"Sigh..."

Xu Jiawei let out a deep sigh and spoke first:

"Jiu Jiu... tell me, what are your thoughts on this matter? Only you and I, brother and sister, are here. You can speak freely about anything."

Xu Jiujiu remained silent for a long while. Then she raised her eyes to Xu Jiawei and asked a question that seemed completely unrelated: "Brother, how is the Hall of Worship Master doing?"

"Not well."

Xu Jiawei had no intention of hiding anything from his imperial sister. He closed his eyes, shook his head, and answered truthfully:

"Crown Medical Immortal told me in private that the Hall Master has at most three years left before his life force dries up. He is already more than two hundred eighty years old. His lifespan has truly come to an end."
