章 1988: Single Name

In a distant corner of the mortal plane, a young man of average looks sat on a boulder silently, his gaze unmoving from a piece of shattered jade in his hand. 

Though his expression gave away nothing, the depths of his eyes flickered with an unceasing torrent of emotions. 

Rage, sadness, confusion… He simply couldn't understand. 

Someone of her standing would most definitely have a life saving jade, why hadn't it activated? Even if it didn't active, who could have laid a hand on her to begin with? She was too smart… to highly valued… 

The young man didn't even notice when his frame began to tremble. He was unshakeable, a sturdy mountain that had stood for millennia, nothing had ever affected him to this extent. Most matters simply rolled off his shoulders, met by his carefree smile and nonchalant demeanor. 

Yet she, the only person he cared about in this world, was dead. 

'Show me. Show me what happened.'
