But this topic really shouldn't be dragged on, no need to kill brain cells.
"Looks like we can wrap it up, but I heard… someone got left out."
"Who?"
"Mr. Tao. He's gone, and one Spirit Coffin has gone missing too."
The rest of the Spirit Coffins were divvied up between the Imperial Guards and the Noble Clans. This coffin was very different from the others, because they'd all been activated—huge value in the follow-up. Any single one of them was priceless, yet one of them vanished.
Plus one of the main culprits, Mr. Tao, is gone.
Hard not to make people's imagination run wild.
"That Mr. Tao is really something. There's an underwater passage in the river, he must've known beforehand, and used the current to escape…"
"I get the feeling he's the only one who got out without a scratch."
