"Farewell, Jian Wushuang!"
"Ever will I choose to be your wife again, if so a choice comes before me again."
"I await you... in our future life!"
The last words of Leng Rushuang etched deep into Jian Wushuang's mind.
"No!"
With a shrilling howl of pain, Jian Wushuang suddenly woke up. It had been seven days.
"You are up, Jian Wushuang." It was the Gu King who had spoken through his mind.
Jian Wushuang rose sorely with a sullen face. "What of Leng Rushuang?"
"She is gone." The Gu King said simply.
"Gone?" Jian Wushuang stammered as he nearly collapsed. But immediately he asked sharply. "You long knew it, do you, Gu King?"
"I am afraid I did." The Gu King made no attempt to conceal.
Jian Wushuang took a deep and heavy breath, clenching his fists tightly as he murmured in a low voice, "Tell me. What happened?"
