At the Time, I Was Already Confused

(TN: A reference to a poem called 'The Brocade Zither' by Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin. This line comes from the end, which translates as, 'Why wait to recollect these emotions? Just that at the time, I was already confused.')

The Daoist that had appeared from midair in the rainy night was precisely the previous Principal of the Orthodox Academy, Shang Xingzhou, and also the extremely enigmatic Daoist Ji of Taizong's era.

He was the leader of this undertaking in the capital, the principal schemer.

After he appeared, the only thing that he could be heard between the heavens and earth was his conversation with the Tianhai Divine Empress.

Whether it was Zhu Luo and Guan Xingke or those fifteen princes that had already entered the capital, they all maintained their silence. This represented their respect, or perhaps their awe.

But the heavens and earth were vast, the world enormous, so there would always be one or two voices, there would always be some other voices appearing.
