Yihe Gate.
At the summit of the main peak.
Outside the courtyard.
Vermilion Bird goes missing.
Sun Yihe stands with his hands behind his back under the tree.
He's seemingly at ease, his gaze fixated on the deep red wall, absorbed in thought.
A faint sound comes from behind.
Li Sheng, the nephew of Li Wuji.
"Elder Sun."
"Did you also notice something off?"
He slightly bows, his expression grave.
Since leaving the courtyard, his eyes have never left the gate.
One minute ago.
Li Sheng noticed that there seemed to be a repressive atmosphere emanating from the courtyard.
Even though he wasn't in there, he could still feel it.
Li Sheng was concerned for the safety of his Uncle.
Seeing Sun Yihe look troubled, he thought that he had also noticed the abnormality.
"Why don't we...."
Li Sheng was about to suggest going inside the courtyard to investigate.
But at this moment.
"Huh?"
Sun Yihe seemed to be brought back to reality, his pupils refocusing.
"What's up?"
