Everyone in the Li clan was panicking and despairing. What did the Li clan do to the Liu clan to deserve this?!
.....
Jin He ran to her master's room. She felt the need to inform the matter to Li Bai since he was directly related to the victim. There was also, although extremely unlikely, the chance that Li Bai could revive his father from the dead.
Li Bai was teaching Li Bao about medicine making, when suddenly Jin He barged into his room, unhindered by the many servants outside. She had a very panicked look on her face.
"What a rare sight..."
This was one of the expressions that Jin He rarely shows, based off of his observation of her behavior in the past few centuries.
If she's showing this face of hers right now, then it must mean that something serious has happened! Li Bai thought.
At first, Li Bai thought that Jin He's lack of sweat and breathing normally was off-putting in contrast to her panicked face that was usually accompanied by those mentioned earlier.
However, he quickly removed the thought from his mind as it was expected that she won't pant or sweat since she was at the peak of the Godly Mark realm. Jin He sweating would be more unsettling than not.
Li Bai's line of thought was abruptly interrupted by Jin He's sudden speaking.
"Master, about your father... he has been killed!"
All this time, Li Bao was waiting for why Jin He was frantic. She suddenly understood the urgent tone behind Jin He's voice. Her father was killed!
"No..."
She was in denial.
Li Bai was affected as well, albeit to a smaller extent than Li Bao. However, he felt rather attached to his father of this lifetime, and as such he was affected much more than on his other lifetimes.
After seeing the siblings' reaction to her news, she quickly followed up with a question directed at her master, Li Bai.
"Master.... is there a way to save him?"
Hearing this, Li Bai froze for a bit before retorting with a question of his own.
"That depends... how recent?"
"It just happened!"
Li Bai thought for a little while before nodding ever so slightly. This small movement by Li Bai gave her sister hope as she was still in despair. Even though this brother of hers was much younger than her, he had shown incredible mastery and prowess in medicine making. As such, if anyone other than Li Bao saw his nod, they would undoubtedly laugh.
"Take me to his corpse, and quick!"
Hearing his confirmation, Jin He carried Li Bai like the child he was. Li Bao saw this and stood up as well, getting ready to follow the two. Jin He started running.
However, Li Bao didn't expect that Jin He would be too fast! As soon as they both started to run, Jin He easily outran her. With Li Bao not knowing where to go, she came back to Li Bai's room anxiously. Imagining her father's corpse in her mind, she started tearing up.
.....
Jin He arrived at the site of the battle as quick as she left it. She somewhat expected that there would still be a battle going on, but she thought wrong. All of the warriors who were previously in a heated battle were now kneeling on the ground.
Li Bai also looked around as he was put down by Jin He. The previous traces of the bloodshot red in the Liu clan elder's eyes were all gone. What was left was a despaired expression on his face. As he looked around some more, he saw the same mix of daze and despair in the other elders' faces.
