Chapter 394
"Miss, the master was already at the end of his training, his oil spent and his lamp burnt out, and it was only his concern for you that kept him going until now. Seeing you return safely and having arranged everything, he passed away peacefully, so you need not feel sad..."
That was what the people around her were advising. Gong Jiu wiped her face and, seeing relatives like Aunt Ye arriving, finally nodded her head.
She was not alone, not when her parents died and not now.
And the vast affairs of the Gong Family still needed her to take over.
Crying weakly was not her style.
(Actually, you should know by now that Gong Jiu is the only true bloodline of the Gong Family, also connected to the Dragon Leading Plate, and part of the Ancient Tomb. Her parents or her real grandfather were murdered...but there are some things she will never know in her lifetime.)
