So, this was another one of those deadly questions.
But Zheng Xiu had a clear conscience, so he smiled and recounted the story of his "childish ignorance," of how the Zheng Family had dug three feet deep into their own property.
Old Wei's expression relaxed. He was clearly aware of this incident.
Finally, Zheng Xiu chuckled. "At the time, I thought there was something to it, too. But after thinking it over, if what that Mad Military Advisor said was true, if the Immortality Secret Technique rumored back then really existed, how could my father have died on the battlefield? Destroying the Northern Barbarians Capital City would have been as easy as lifting a finger for him. Why would he have gone to his death?"
The implication was clear: it didn't exist.
Hearing Zheng Xiu's answer, the Emperor of Daqian, Emperor Zun'an, Old Wei... seemed to age several years in an instant.
The two eventually parted ways.
Surrounded by the Imperial Guard, Old Wei returned to the palace.
