　　"It's Li Yiming." Eyegla.s.ses turned away from his computer and informed his teammates.

　　"What?" Everyone's countenance quickly s.h.i.+fted.

　　The accusation started with a simple description of Pure Water Herb Hall's meteoric rise to success, as well as the personal gains Li Yiming had realized at his young age. It was entirely scripted in such that it would arouse the jealousy of many. It was followed by more d.a.m.ning accusations, going from the corporation's shady deals to Li Yiming's personal faults. One video even showed Li Yiming jumping out of a window with Shao Xian in his arms. The most controversial parts were the footages of Li Yiming's b.l.o.o.d.y ma.s.sacres at the sauna center and at Yunding Tower.

　　What was worse, still, was the information about the origin of the Gate of Ghosts. The warrior in dark armor was a figure that left a lasting impression on many. A previously undisclosed segment of the warrior removing his mask, revealing himself to be Li Yiming's was released, which meant to many that the latter was solely responsible for the disaster in Shangbei.

　　The dominating look that Li Yiming had casted upon the entire battlefield while giving them the choice to submit or perish caused great resentment. Of course, it did not help that a great amount of people had lost their home or a loved one during the disaster.

　　"They're after him."

　　"This is going to be a difficult dilemma for the authorities. They'll have to either hunt Li Yiming down or collapse completely. At this, he is undefendable." Eyegla.s.ses sighed.

　　"Where is he now?" Qing Qiaoqiao asked in an anxious voice.

　　"He should almost be in Beihai. Don't worry about his safety. Unless Mr. Kongcomes down from the Heavens, he and Liu Meng are nearly invincible."

　　"I'm not worried at all about Li Yiming…" Qing Linglong said. Despite knowing Li Yiming for so long, she never felt as if she truly understood him. To this day, he was still a mystery to him and she could not predict how he would react to the accusations.

　　"I would've never thought for this to happen…" Li Huaibei opened a jug of wine and filled the three cups on the table.

　　"I apologize for what I did." Liu Meng expressed her regret before emptying her cup.

　　"You're a lucky man." Li Huaibei said to Li Yiming before emptying his own.

　　"Yes, I am." Li Yiming nodded and gazed at the piece of yellow silk around his wrist.

　　"Can I ask you something?" Li Yiming pointed at the object. Having experienced Eden through Li Huaibei's eyes, he knew exactly who the original owners of the scarf, the old gourd, and the piece of broken blade were.
