The next day, Gongsun Shengheng had not yet woken, but Ye Fan was already awake. He carried Gongsun Shengheng out of the wine cellar and took a deep breath of fresh air.
Gongsun Linglong had already been buried on the mountainside behind the villa she loved most. Ye Fan glanced at her tombstone, then turned and left. For him, staying here would only add to his sorrow.
Of course, what Ye Fan didn't know was that the voice of Gongsun Linglong he'd heard in his dream the night before had not been a hallucination—it was real. He was even more unaware that the "departed" Gongsun Linglong had been reborn from the ashes through a great opportunity. However, it would be a very long time before Ye Fan saw her again. By that time, everything would have changed beyond recognition.
At dusk, Ye Fan arrived at the Gongsun Family estate. Upon seeing the Gongsun Family Master, he apologized, "I'm sorry. If it hadn't been for me... perhaps..." He couldn't bring himself to finish the sentence.
