Who had lived and who had died? Upon hearing the middle-aged scholar's words, the tourist-like man fell silent, gazing at the distant mountains to calm his mind. As he gazed at the sea of clouds, he gave off the feeling of one weathered by the trials of time. He indifferently spoke, "Sir and His Majesty are not like him, so logically, you should not have appeared here."
The middle-aged scholar did not directly answer his question, instead saying, "Seeing that you've appeared, We finally have confirmed that this is not a plot."
The man asked, "For what reason?"
The middle-aged scholar explained, "If this were a plot planned by you, today, We really might have had some trouble, at least more trouble than now."
The man replied, "Not necessarily. Since he has always been at Your Majesty's side, how could he not see through one of my plans?"
The scholar shook his head. "He did not agree with Our decision to come, so this time, We came on Our own."
