Xie Tian cracked a smile, "Chief of Staff, I am truly innocent."
Xing Yan rolled his eyes, but his body staggered, and he quickly steadied himself against the wall, not wanting to fall, even though something extremely terrifying and shocking was happening right before him.
"Alright, you're innocent, innocent, ha..."
Recalling the Divine Emperor's recent message, Xing Yan forced a wry smile, glanced at Xie Tian, silently praising his vigilance, but then his face filled with astonishment as he remembered a phrase he had vaguely heard earlier.
"Did, did His Majesty come just now?"
Xie Tian nodded.
"So, he really came..."
Swallowing hard, Xing Yan paused for a long moment before he deeply looked at Xie Tian, then turned with a bitter smile and walked back the way he came.
Xie Tian swept his gaze over the spot where Xing Yan had stood, noticing two pieces of a broken token scattered on the ground.
He knew that this was the execution order.
