761st Break: King

The entire hallway was silent aside from the sound of their footsteps echoing on the walls of the palace. 

"Hey. How come you are not the leader of the Practitioners Alliance?" Ke Lin whispered to Lin Ze as Duan Yuan and Mo Jiashe led them to Duan Yeshu's room.

Qiu Shisi perked up his ears to listen. Meanwhile, Meng Xing and Qiu Si were chatting with Duan Yuan. Well, it was only Meng Xing who was talking since Qiu Si is a taciturn person while Duan Yuan replied to Meng Xing's inquiries. As for Mo Jiashe, he was deeply pondering about something.

"Before we left the empire, I had Xiao Jiu and Yan Rui send my letter of resignation to the Alliance." Lin Ze answered.

Ke Lin and Qiu Shi were stunned. Their jaws dropped. "What?!" they exclaimed. "Why?!" they asked.
