Meanwhile, inside a certain estate.
The Master of Yun State stood before a shimmering lake, about a hundred zhang wide.
WHOOSH!
Commander Nie appeared out of thin air, bowing as he said, "What are your orders, Lord Master?"
The Master of Yun State, gazing at the lake without turning his head, asked, "In the prison just now, were you planning to kill Ma San and the others?"
Commander Nie's eyes flickered. He respectfully replied, "I dare not hide anything; indeed, I wanted to kill them to avenge Nie Yu."
The Master of Yun State abruptly turned his head and stared at Commander Nie, his eyes emitting a daunting glow.
Commander Nie looked flustered and quickly said, "I know I was wrong. Please punish me, Lord Master!"
"Sigh!"
The Master of Yun State fell silent. After a long moment, he heaved a heavy sigh. Turning his gaze back to the lake, he said, "The dead cannot be resurrected. You should try to move on."
