"Empty?"
Seeing the rare emptiness atop the stone pillar, everyone could not help but sigh in regret.
Xiao Yan, meanwhile, stared in shock at the Young Girl, who had slightly raised her head with a smug look on her face. "Could it be that you really guessed right?"
"What do you mean, guessed? This is called wisdom." Liuli snorted, kneading Xiao Yi's soft cheeks even more briskly until the little fellow began babbling in protest.
Xiao Yan glanced at Gongsun Lin, then leaned closer to the Silver Haired Girl and whispered, "Where did you find those ancient books? Judging by father-in-law's expression, he seems completely unaware of this too."
Liuli's heart tightened. Only then did she realize that she had gotten a little too carried away. Her identity as someone who knew the plot was in danger of being exposed. She coughed twice and said righteously, "He spends all day either drinking, practicing swordsmanship, or hiding away in my mom's Kongming Peak. Does he look like the reading type?"
Xiao Yan looked the Young Girl up and down, silently grumbling, I can't tell that you, you silly girl, look like the reading type either...
Of course, he could not possibly say that aloud. Otherwise, Liuli would bar him from the room for half a month!
"Hun Tiandi!"
Just then, Gu Yuan suddenly looked toward a spot ahead and said gravely.
Everyone immediately went on guard. Behind the towering pillar on the left, upon the steps leading to the magnificent stone hall, three figures stood before a bank of mist. They were Hun Tiandi, Void, and Ye Luoli.
The three seemed to have heard Gu Yuan's voice and turned around. Hun Tiandi, at their head, appeared to have recovered and resumed his usual mild, scholarly demeanor. He smiled at the group.
