Li Jing froze at the sight.
Master?
As a distant branch of the Longxi Li Clan, he naturally knew that Li Shimin and his brothers had a remarkable Master, but he had never met her. It seemed that few people in the entire Imperial Court had ever seen this Master either.
He had assumed this Master would be something like an Immortal wandering the clouds, but...
How could she be a beautiful woman?
"Greetings, Master."
Though Li Jing was puzzled, his etiquette remained impeccable. He bowed deeply to Verdant Green Maiden.
Verdant Green Maiden glanced at him and nodded. "Mm. Hello."
Uh...
So easygoing?
Li Jing raised a brow at her words, somewhat surprised by Verdant Green Maiden's temperament.
"Didn't Master say you were going to Shu? Why are you here?"
Only after inviting Verdant Green Maiden to take a seat did Li Shimin ask about the matter. "Could it be that some great upheaval has occurred in Shu, one that even Master cannot resolve?"
"Please tell me, Master. If necessary, I will lead the army out at once and rush to Shu!"
"No need."
Verdant Green Maiden shook her head and looked at Li Shimin. If it were a great upheaval that even she could not resolve, could Li Shimin resolve it by bringing the Tang Army there now?
Though he was the Ziwei Great Emperor Reincarnation, he was still merely a mortal!
When people were killed, they died.
Li Shimin was no exception.
Verdant Green Maiden slowly said to him and Li Jing, "I came only to tell you one thing: Li Yuanji is dead."
The moment she said this, Li Shimin and Li Jing both froze.
"...What?"
Only after a long while did Li Shimin find his voice again.
Verdant Green Maiden continued, "I killed him."
"!"
