BANG!
A deafening crash echoed from the Qingjing Residence.
Instantly, the entire courtyard fell dead silent.
Even the chilly, late-autumn rain seemed to lose its momentum, falling soundlessly into the yard.
Chen Yi held his Oil Paper Umbrella and headed toward the Jiaxing Garden. His expression remained calm and indifferent, as if he hadn't heard the commotion at all.
He remained unfazed even as two lines of glowing golden text drifted across his vision.
[Witnessed Shu State's Duke Dingyuan, Xiao Yuan, kill Governor Liu Hong with a Punch. Reward: "Essentials of Qi Min", Opportunity +42.]
[Evaluation: Person arrived, sound heard, scene unseen...]
Chen Yi glanced at the text. Instead of worry, a smile crept onto his face.
"Well played, Liu Hong," Chen Yi murmured softly. "Even in death, you managed to force the Xiao Family into a dilemma. You certainly had some brains. Now Elder Master Xiao... and Madam, are probably going to have a massive headache."
