The young eunuch recalled the matter and said a few names.
Soon, Morris began to frown, and the uncomfortable feeling in his heart got more intense.
“Tell me which lords..?” Morris asked.
The young eunuch was very clever.
He listened carefully to every word that Morris said on usual days, and he remembered them by heart.
That time, he could finally do Morris a favor.
After pondering for a moment, the young eunuch named the few lords.
Morris‘s frown got deeper, and his piercing voice was somewhat trembling as he commented, “That’s strange.
These lords should’ve arrived in the capital five days ago.
Why’s there no news about them? Moreover, they… They…”
The young eunuch pricked up his ears, wanting to listen carefully.
However, he found that Morris suddenly turned quiet.
When the eunuch looked over, he was surprised to find Morris’s face as white as a sheet, and his complexion was horrible.
Moreover, Morris’s mouth, which was sunken because of his missing teeth, now appeared more obvious and hideous.
“Eunuch Morris… Eunuch Morris?” The young eunuch shouted in panic.
He was terrified when he saw Morris was wide-eyed, looking in a direction without moving.
Not only that, his chest was not undulating either.
After shouting more than a dozen times, Morris suddenly shuddered and returned to his senses.
Then, he laughed awkwardly.
“I‘m fine…”
Despite saying that, Morris’s expression read, “I’m about to be scared to death!”
The young eunuch also did not know why the few lords were yet to arrive in the capital on time and what made Morris afraid.
Furthermore, it was not an exaggeration to say that Morris appeared as if he were on his deathbed.
Nonetheless, the young eunuch was naturally unaware of the secrets behind that, and Morris could not tell him either.
At that moment, Morris‘s heart was beating wildly.
‘These soldiers all participated in the incident three years ago, but due to the power struggle, they were not left in the capital to enjoy the glory.
Instead, they were sent to work in various places, and some were even deployed to the borders.
Did they plan not to come back in time together, or did… Something happen to them?’
Morris was an intelligent person.
If he were not brilliant, he would not be able to climb from an obscure little eunuch to his current position in just a few years.
Hence, he quickly discerned that if the lords schemed together, the fact that Carson was now a Great Oceans Sect’s disciple was enough to dispel the thought.
Mortals fighting against cultivators?
Only if they were dropped on their head as an infant.
Therefore, the only possibility was they had an accident!
‘But these lords were assigned to different places.
If there was an accident at the same time, it could only be done deliberately… Who would do this, and what was the reason…’
Morris naturally figured out the reasons.
Otherwise, he would not be so afraid just now.
However, he was still desperately telling himself that it was simply impossible.
