Chapter 394
"Miss, the master had been nearing the end of his practice, his oil spent and the lamp burnt out, it was only his concern for you that kept him holding on until now. Seeing you return safely and having arranged everything, he passed away peacefully. You needn't be sad..."
The people around her were all saying this to comfort her. Gong Jiu wiped her face and, seeing the relatives such as Aunties from the Ye family arriving, finally nodded her head.
She was not alone, not when her parents died years ago, and not now.
And now she needed to take over the huge responsibility of managing the Gong family.
Crying weakly was not her style.
(Actually, as you might have already known, Gong Jiu is now the only true bloodline of the Gong family, also connected to the Dragon Leading Plate, and is a part of the ancient tomb; her parents or perhaps her real grandfather were all killed... But there are some things she'll never know in her lifetime.)
