"If that's really the case,"
Xu Yuan pondered slightly and said, "then the nature of your relationship might only be known to the two of you."
"Possibly."
Chu Bingyan slightly tilted her head, her face filled with solemnity, "If that's really the case, there's another matter that might be even more terrifying."
"The death of the previous Divine Emperor."
Xu Yuan, who had not paid much attention to this aspect before, was suddenly shocked.
"Heavenly Machine Tower has always refrained from getting involved in struggles for succession, remaining loyal only to the reigning Divine Emperor. If that mysterious person is really Jing Lixue, then I had had contact with her even before the death of the previous Divine Emperor."
"But such a thing is almost impossible."
Chu Bingyan's small hands clenched tightly, her knuckles turning somewhat white.
