Feng Cheng had always felt he had arrived too late, and he reproached himself endlessly for it. That was why he had deliberately lingered in Du State for a while. On the surface, he was reorganizing his troops and gathering his forces, but in secret, he had dispatched men to search for Ye Yunfeng's whereabouts.
—Aside from him and a few confidants, no one knew Ye Yunfeng was still alive.
The reason he could tell that the disfigured corpse wasn't Ye Yunfeng was because... the sword on the body was not the one he had gifted Ye Yunfeng back then.
Feng Cheng was both shocked and overjoyed, but he didn't dare show it. He simply ordered his men to collect the body and send it back to the Capital City with great fanfare, letting everyone believe that the one who died was Ye Yunfeng.
But in his heart, he always held on to a sliver of hope.
"Is there any news?" Feng Cheng asked.
The men looked at each other, then all shook their heads.
