"Father, Mother, don't abandon Shui'Er..."
In the vast, empty hall, Lady Shui murmured in her sleep. Her eyelashes trembled, and a tear welled at the corner of her eye.
Earth One had lived a bitter life.
It could be said that during the era of the Violent Liang, not a single one of the Black Lotus's nineteen secret spies had an easy life.
If their lives hadn't been so bitter, they would never have set out on the path of rebellion, a path that guaranteed execution.
'A pity.'
'You are not her... But you will become her.'
Gazing at her face, Su Chen lifted Lady Shui into his arms, placed her on the bed, and then removed his own robe to cover her.
Once he was done, he walked out of the great hall and stood in the waters of Taiye Lake.
"Are you truly the Black Lotus?"
In the lake stood an old man who had been eyeing him with suspicion for some time.
Emperor Long.
Or rather, the first Grandmaster from Great Yu to awaken.
"His Majesty would like to have a word with you."
