Half a day later, in the bamboo forest.
Xie Danran looked at the approaching figure, his face expressing incredulity.
"Why, why?"
He was puzzled. He had responded perfectly, his disguise impeccable. Why then had the Commandery Princess still sent someone to kill him?
Had it been earlier, with his status, he wouldn't have feared the Commandery Princess.
But now, after she had saved Jining Prefecture, wanting his death was just a small caprice of power.
He simply couldn't resist.
"The Commandery Princess said you didn't deny being a murderer, a bandit, a villain..." The Black Robe Elder said sternly, his magic artifact trembling in his hand.
Xie Danran looked bewildered: "But! She! Didn't! Even! Ask!"
How could he answer when she hadn't asked? Xie Danran appeared indignant.
Regrettably, indignation was futile. His body went limp, and he died on the spot.
The Black Robe Elder glanced at him, then disappeared from sight.
