"I came back late."

Liang Yan sat in front of the statue and sighed softly.

Although he left behind many pills, Liu Wanrou did not have spiritual roots after all, and was just a mortal. Moreover, her physique was too weak, and in the end she could not withstand the disaster of life and death.

There are too many uncertain things in this world. Mortal bodies will eventually have to face life and death. Even he, a cultivator who is already halfway through, may die one day.

Liang Yan was filled with emotions. Looking at the statue of the woman in front of him, he fell into a deep silence for a while.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a young girl wearing a rich dress came outside the attic.

This girl had two ponytails and her big, smart eyes kept looking around, as if she had a guilty conscience.

She did not enter through the main entrance of the compound, but climbed in through the wall at the back. After checking around again, she quietly opened the wooden door.

The moment the wooden door opened, a hint of excitement flashed across her face, but the next moment, she froze on the spot.

Because in front of the statue of the late emperor, there was actually a man in gray sitting on the ground!

"Who are you?!"

The girl in brocade clothes couldn't help but shouted in a low voice. Although she could only see his back, the other person still felt a bit familiar to her.

She opened her mouth to ask, but the man in gray clothes looked like a clay sculpture, his back to her, and he ignored her.

"Hey, I'm asking you! Why don't you speak?"

A flash of anger flashed in the eyes of the girl in brocade clothes, and then shouted: "Don't you know where this place is? How dare you enter the Palace of the First Emperor?"

The answer to her was still only a back view and a long silence.

"You're not a fool, are you?"

A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the girl in brocade clothes. She raised her steps and walked forward tiptoe.

Ten steps, five steps, three steps.

The man in gray clothes in front of her was getting closer and closer to her, and when she took the last step, she could finally see half of his face.

The girl was not unfamiliar with this face because she had seen it just half a day ago.

"It's you!"

The girl in brocade couldn't help but scream in surprise. The next moment, she no longer cared about the fact that she had sneaked in here secretly, and shouted at the top of her voice:

"There is! Assassin!"
