This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Li Yuechan and the others, and they found it hard to believe.
The man gravely told them that Long Chen's survival was uncertain, but he was currently receiving treatment in a mysterious place; even if cured, there was a high chance he would be incapacitated. He asked them to wait patiently for news, which wouldn't come for at least half a year.
Knowing this, Li Yuechan and the others were inconsolable.
The man had already left and made a mysterious phone call: "Your Majesty, I have done as you instructed."
"Do you know why I want to deceive them like this?"
A calm, magnetic voice came through the phone.
"I don't know, sire." replied the man respectfully.
