”Have a cold snort at Elder Li before leaving the building with his fellow imperial clansmen By the time Elder Li slowly shuffled out, everyone had left except for the guards in front of the hall
”Teacher?” a pupil supported Elder Li by the arm as he prepared to head down the steps Elder Li stood at the head of the stairs, looking towards the path leading to the imperial harem The white feldspar road was devoid of all people and shone golden-yellow beneath the spring sunlight Because the road lay on a slant and seemed to stretch on endlessly, it resembled a road to the Heavens that disappeared into the horizon

”Teacher,” a few men chased after him
”He knew of the Xie Clan’s wrongs, but was unable to pull up their towering tree by the roots,” Elder Li said quietly to them ”So His Majesty knew to retreat while he was still ahead His Majesty sold off his property in the palace to aid the refugees because he wanted to take care of that matter”
”Just by saving a few refugees?” one of the men asked quietly ”Hoill that solve the issue of their existence? His Majesty’s lone efforts are like trying to put out a blazing cart of ith a cup of water–utterly inadequate”
”At least His Majesty still thinks of the refugees,” Elder Li gave the man a look A few others fell into silence None of the three e His Majesty’s rule had ever bothered with the refugees Perhaps if they had, the refugees wouldn’t have numbered into the hundreds of thousands by now

The little gyrfalcon flew past Elder Li’s head Of course Xiaoyao was going to be a big and uy still wanted to torment her?
