Si Qi suddenly fell silent, staring blankly at the young woman before him.
"You..."
The sword qi and the fierce winds in the courtyard gradually dissipated.
The immortal crane that had taken refuge from the disturbance also stopped trembling under the banyan tree, cautiously poking out its head to observe the two figures confronting each other in silent sit.
"That year, I was in seclusion, unaware of many details,"
Huang Su spoke slowly, "When my seclusion ended, the Da Sui Sword Palace had already begun Sealing Mountain... Now that I am in charge of Lotus Peak, I should know the 'truth' of what happened then."
She raised a jar of wine, opened the seal, and drank it down, letting the liquid flow along her snow-white neck, dampening her open black robe.
After a long while,
Huang Su put down the jar, her voice revealing fatigue, "Brother Si Qi... I know, the events of that year, everyone was keeping them from me. They could do this to me, but you... should not have."
