"The crown princess? Who are you? Are you from the Mu Clan?" Ye Xiao asked.
"No… we are the guards of the east royal palace. The four of us…" The man spoke with great difficulty. He felt the pain intensify, so he groaned, "Please… spare me… a quick death…"
Ye Xiao's eyes showed fierceness and spoke blandly, "The crown princess… The guards of the east royal palace…"
…
Ye Xiao questioned him three more times to make sure that he was not being lied to.
He walked out of the covert.
On the floor of the area he vacated, the guard silently lay. The corners of his mouth showed a smile which implied "final relief".
There seemed to be a sense of gratitude…
It seemed that dying was a blessing to him.
It looked like nothing had happened. Not even a single trace of them could be found. However, a vigorous man just disappeared forever…
