"Back in the days within the Imperial Palace, now I'm the only friend left. Haha... I used to always hear that old man Hua Hong tell stories about how my father killed all his former friends. At that time, I never understood why, and thought it was somewhat excessive, but now I finally understand why."
Li Junqing smacked his lips and asked softly:
"Did Wang Chengping and Gong Yuanzeng also die?"
"Their fathers rebelled together and implicated them."
"You mean they were unaware?"
"Most likely."
"That's rather unfortunate."
"Not unfortunate."
Xu Yuan shook his head, his dark eyes calm like a deep pool:
"When the rebellion broke out two years ago, both of them had already been promoted to the Third Grade. Even if unaware, they could sense many things, yet they chose neutrality."
