After everything settled, I returned to my room.
The corridor was quiet, and the night had fully deepened. The house had fallen into silence, and no one remained outside.
I closed the door behind me and walked further inside.
There was nothing left to do for the night.
Everything that needed to be decided had already been decided.
Tomorrow—
Everything would begin.
I removed my outer robe and placed it aside before walking toward the bed. My body felt tired, yet my thoughts refused to settle.
Fu Teng.
Fu Tong.
One day.
Only one day remained.
I sat down slowly and let out a quiet breath.
Some people might think I was doing all this for the reward.
But that was not the reason.
That was only an addition.
If I failed—
Then what would happen to them?
That question alone was enough.
As for Fu Teng—
I paused briefly.
His situation was not simple.
His feelings were not something that could be ignored.
