Bab 823: Why Carry it Alone?

....

It was late in the afternoon when Lu Yin Ze returned to the mansion. Standing there motionlessly, watching the clear sky with complex thoughts, Lu Yin Ze finally remembered that he still had guests waiting for him.

He forced himself to return.

Xiong Zhi, Linfeng, and Tang Yin stayed. Even though lunch was offered to them, no one had the appetite to eat right now.

Upon seeing them, Lu Yin Ze regained his smile, although it was shallow and a bit lifeless.

"I apologized for my rude behavior. I was...taken aback." He swallowed as he tried to fight the heavy feeling in his heart.

Tang Yin could see how heavy the blow this news was to Lu Yin Ze. Earlier he was still smiling vibrantly with expectations in life. But after leaving so suddenly, he returned with a desolate figure. As if he had aged for many years in just a span of a few hours.
