After he finished speaking, Emperor Zuntian turned away, his chest heaving as he suppressed his anger.
Moon Emperor looked at Emperor Zuntian's back, guilt welling up inside her.
To have such a senior brother was her good fortune.
From Emperor Zuntian's position, the fact that he could let her go just like that showed how deeply he cared for her.
"Senior Brother, what about Master..." Moon Emperor asked.
"And you still have the heart to worry about me?"
Emperor Zuntian shouted angrily, "If you don't leave now, once Master discovers what happened here, you won't be able to get away!"
After a pause, his tone softened slightly. "Don't worry. I'll be fine. Hurry and go, before this matter gets any bigger!"
"Senior Brother, until we meet again." Moon Emperor said no more. She cupped her fists, then decisively left with Hua Yunfei and the other two.
Emperor Zuntian turned around and watched the direction in which the four had left. The anger in his eyes slowly gave way to melancholy.
"Junior Sister..."
Memories flashed through his mind. The two of them had known each other ever since Moon Emperor first entered Haoyue Palace. By now, they were as close as family.
And now, that family member had left...
Emperor Zuntian felt his heart grow emptier once again.
"Perhaps the next time we meet, it'll be on the battlefield?"
Emperor Zuntian sighed and turned toward Purple Mountain. Bowing his head, he said, "Master, I'm sorry. This disciple let them go..."
"Mm." Haoyue Progenitor replied indifferently, showing neither surprise nor anger.
"Master, you..." Hearing Haoyue Progenitor's reaction, Emperor Zuntian looked up.
"Do you think I don't understand you? Or that I don't know how close you siblings are?" Haoyue Progenitor sighed softly. "I sent you because I knew you'd do exactly this."
