Shen Li turned his head to look at Yu Tong, "Sorry."
"Your Majesty need not apologize." Yu Tong's voice still carried a hint of youthfulness, yet it was overly cold, "I have known about this matter for a long time. My father calculated that today would be the end of his lifespan. After three days of resting, he will be buried in our clan's tomb."
"I will forever remember the kindness of my master and will not let his efforts go to waste," Shen Li said. "It's time for me to leave as well."
Yu Tong seemed to sense something, "Will Your Majesty be gone for a long time?"
"I'm not sure, until I acquire the Earth Core."
"During the time you're gone, the Empire..." Yu Tong was somewhat worried. It's her brother who stands in as a substitute at the Imperial Palace, but many important matters need to be told to Shen Li, requiring his decision-making. His departure might make things inconvenient.
