After Han Tieshan left, Jiang Feng stayed by Han Dong's side for quite a while. Han Tieshan's departure made Han Dong, who always seemed like a heroic woman, become extremely fragile. For a long time she gave up on herself, threw her Two-Handed Sword into the corner, and didn't touch it for three months straight.
