480 Fabricated Report (Ch.481)

Jian's eyes snapped open, and for a long moment he did not move, he just sat in the same position he had been, leaned against a tree with his gaze fixed ahead of him.

His mind still reeled from the gut wrenching pain he had just experienced and his heart was still tightly constricted, like it was tied up in a knot that just would not unravel.

Calm as Jian appeared, his heart rate was greatly accelerated and he was barely containing the gasp that would already have made it's way out of him the moment he awakened.

In the same clearing Jian sat, Cassian stood some distance away, his attention had been drawn over to Jian the very moment Jian had woken up.

"My Liege...are you alright?" Cassian asked in concern, walking over to Jian.

Jian gave no response and Cassian truly did not expect any, he crouched down beside Jian, placing two fingers by his neck to study his pulse.
