Xie Jue was brought up by Elder Lin, and he had a good relationship with Lin Yushu and Lin Helin.
When his maternal grandfather passed away, both he and Zhixu were unable to attend the final farewell. It had always been a source of regret for them.
Seeing Xie Jue's silence, everyone assumed he was swayed and prepared to press further. Just then, they heard him say, "This can only wrong Abao."
Everyone: "..."
His Shadow Guards Six, Seven, and Eight had remained in the Capital City, firstly to protect Feng Shu, and secondly to gather intelligence. However, the long journey from the Capital City to Ningzhou meant he couldn't obtain firsthand information. Xie Jue disliked dealing with civil officials, but he could guess what Grandmaster Zhang and the others intended to say. He forced himself to listen, merely wanting to learn the latest developments in the Capital City.
Yuwen Jing issuing a self-indicting edict? How ironic!
