It was dead silent in the manor. There was a chirp coming from a planted tree in the courtyard.
After walking out of the hall, Henry looked at the dark sky. Tonight, dark clouds covered the moonlight.
A woman, dressed in a long white dress, sat on the treetop with her two slender legs exposed in the air, constantly swinging back and forth.
"During the Recluse Association Grand Meeting, you crushed all the inheritors of bishops and declared war with bishop Hebor. You and Morvyn killed countless Transformation Realm masters and nearly 20 Qi- concentrating Realm. Brother Henry, your achievement is really amazing."
She had silver long hair, which was soft as silk.
Her voice sounded playful, and it was not difficult to hear a kind of comfort from her voice.
Henry looked up at the woman sitting on the treetop. "You are quite well-informed."
The woman raised her silver hair and smiled. Everything around her was overshadowed by her smile.
"Brother Henry, the four major forces in the world have been inherited for more than two thousand years. In these two thousand years, which one of them do you think could avoid being penetrated by the other side? There are people from the other side in each of the four great forces, and none of them is inferior. What you've done in the Recluse Association, all three of them know."
Henry touched his nose and said, "It seems that I'm famous now."
Cesia jumped down from the treetop. Her eyes were like the Milky Way, which made people couldn't help but be immersed in them. She stood in front of Henry. The distance between them was less than 20 centimetres, and their eyes met.
In the eyes of Cesia, there was a kind of doubt and also a kind of heartache. "Brother Henry, is it worth it? During this Recluse Association Grand Meeting, you deliberately suppressed all the bishop candidates and killed one bishop. You just want to attract all the attention and put yourself in the centre of the storm. Do you want to protect the woman behind you? Now you don't have the power of bishop level at all, right? What you need is the time! You shouldn't stand out so early!"
Henry smiled and said, "Your task wasn't to come all the way here just to tell me this, right?"
Henry's face was full of smiles, but the meaning hidden in his words was full of indifference.
Task! Cesia was there because of her task!
A trace of anger flashed in Cesia's eyes, but soon she was forced to hold back, Cesia turned around and said, "My purpose of coming here this time is the same as last time. Now there is an underground palace in Yinzhou. The major forces, as well as several top clans, are acting in secret. But also they are ready to come out of the world. It can be expected that their next moves will be more sudden and violent. Give me the key to Emperor's Mausoleum, or explore the mausoleum with us, and I will tell you the secret of the clans, how about it?"
Henry shook his head and said, "I don't have the key."
"Brother Henry, you'd better think about it. You can relax for the time being. But I think the trouble will come sooner or later. Since you have made such a big trouble, it will not be easy to deal with the trouble that comes to you again."
Cesia turned her head and left Henry with a perfect side view, then leapt and disappeared into the night sky.
The moment when Cesia left, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly dissipated, and bright moonlight shone on the ground.
"Why are you standing here alone?" Sylvia's gentle voice came from behind Henry, "Come. The snacks are ready. We are waiting for you to go back to eat."
Sylvia stepped forward and took Henry's arm.
Henry nodded and followed Sylvia into the house. He found that several bowls of noodle soup had been placed on the table, and there were several simple cold dishes. Nelson and others were sitting at the table. When they saw Henry, they immediately waved their hands.
