Early the next morning, Ye Fei, Xu Shuyun, Ye Jing, and Ye Yunqi made their way to the Ye Family Hall together, where Ye Lingtian's funeral was to be held.
Upon entering the solemn, meticulously decorated mourning hall and seeing Ye Lingtian’s portrait, Xu Shuyun and Ye Jing, who had been holding back their grief, couldn’t help but break down in tears once more. Ye Yunqi, too, began to sob. Ye Fei felt the weight of sorrow as well, but he knew there were far too many responsibilities on his shoulders today, and there was no time for him to indulge in grief.
Around nine o’clock, the women who had gathered at Ye Lingtian’s house the previous evening also arrived. The morning was dedicated to family members and the members of Lingyun Society paying their respects.
