Bab 81: Chapter 81: We are willing

The Celestial Palace Master brought the lifeless body of his son with him. 

His son's body was lying on the ground in the place where all the core members of the Celestial Palace used to be buried. However, the man still couldn't bring him up to bury his son. 

He sat on his knees, facing the lifeless body of his son. Even though he didn't show much reaction previously in front of everyone else, but now that he was all alone, his eyes were wet, and bloodshot. 

He was constantly blaming himself for his son's death, thinking that he could've protected his son if he had been more careful. 

He reached out and gently caressed his son's hair, muttering silent apologies that he knew could never be heard. The man stayed by his son's side all night, unwilling to leave him alone in the dark.

Even though the Eternal Emperor and the others were waiting for him in this time of emergency, it was as if he had completely forgotten about that entirely.
