“He had smashed all the mirrors, and it had been a long time since he’d seen his own reflection. The blade was sharp and bright; it reflected his appearance, and he saw his own face.

“He was stunned by the sight of himself. The grip of His Highness’s hand around my neck did not slacken, but he stared and stared. After staring for who knows how long, a line of tears suddenly streamed from one eye.

“When I saw his tears, I couldn’t help but cry as well. That reflection on the blade—such ugliness! Just a glance had disgusted me, so why did I force him to look? Why did I remind him that he was such an ugly creature now? I couldn’t bear it, and the sword fell from my hand and clattered to the floor.

“In the end, His Highness heaved me away and said, ‘Get lost.’ And I did, crawling and stumbling as I fled.”

Having listened to that whole story in one go, the held breath in Xie Lian’s throat finally released.

The state preceptor also lowered his hands. “I ran as far as I could and escaped the Kingdom of Wuyong. And it wasn’t long before the volcano erupted once again. This time, the entire kingdom was completely buried, and almost no one survived. An entire country gone, just like that.

“I escaped the calamity, but I never heard any news of His Highness again. It was as if he’d been buried along with the Kingdom of Wuyong.

“I’ve traveled to the heavens, and I’ve also cultivated on my own, so I have some achievements to my name. I maintained the state of my body and drifted aimlessly throughout the Mortal Realm. I had served His Highness since we were both young, and I didn’t know what to do now that I couldn’t any longer. His Highness was gone, and my three friends were dead. I created three empty-shelled fakes and made them speak in my friends’ voices to keep me company—and to play cards sometimes.”

Hearing “empty-shelled fakes,” Xie Lian’s expression grew solemn.

“My magic improved over the years, so I later instilled the skills of my three friends into the fakes,” the state preceptor continued.

“Were they the other three state preceptors?” Xie Lian asked softly.

No wonder he had always found those three so strange; they never acted on their own and never socialized with him one-on-one. Apparently, they had been little more than puppets, and would be exposed as such if they left the chief state preceptor’s side.

“The very same. I suppose you are also my friends’ disciple,” the state preceptor replied. “Alas, my creations were a pale reflection of the real thing—I could only instill the barest portion of their true strength into the fakes, so they couldn’t teach you much. And he has long since destroyed the three fakes that kept me company for so long.

“The heavenly dynasty changed after another century or two, and all the heavenly officials of the past faded away. Gradually, a new batch of heavenly officials replaced them.
