Meanwhile, in the imperial city, Huichen headquarters.
A loud wail can be heard followed by the collective sighs of the people sitting around in the living room was heard as the (remaining) members of Huichen in the imperial capital (finally) conducted a meeting after Qiu Liu left for the central region in jianghu.
"Oh, my god! Shijiu, you didn't see how dark His Majesty's face has become when he found out that the boss has gone missing!" Qiu Shisan cried as he hugged Qiu Shijiu's waist and wailed like a child. "Like, I mean… couldn't the royal messenger pick a good time to break the news to His Majesty… like when I have already left?!" he asked. "You just didn't see His Majesty's eyes… they are so scary that I thought my head would have already rolled down the steps of the palace!" he said as tears streamed down his cheeks. It was still vivid in his mind what happened this morning when he went to the imperial palace to make a report on behalf of their boss, Meng Xing.
