บท 98: The Stone Room Within the Mine

Misty fog coiling about, Ji Ning just stood there, looking at his five elders. The Patriarch, his father, and the others were all very calm. Clearly, they had already made their decision.

Granny Shadow said in her hoarse voice, "I've lived nearly four hundred years. Can it be that I, Ji Shadow, am going to hide so as to live for a few more years while watching my clansmen fall into danger? In addition, I feel very happy that I'll be able to face death with my elder brother."

"Wherever my mistress is, I shall be there." The old servant, Ah Xing, actually spoke out, a rare event indeed.

"It's enough for we three old fellows to be there." Ninefire smiled.
